"Eh!? You really don't know the formula to solve this math problem?"
The mattress' spring cried 'gishiri', as it was being pushed down. As one would expect from Yuuri, he didn't want to get on the bed with his shoes on. He was sitting in a more or less elegant way, but after a while his posture got bad.
"Regrettably, I do not know it...."
Whether it was because the two of them got along really well or because he was being very serious, Günter lowered his head as if he was apologizing from the bottom of his heart.
"Heh~... I see, I'm kind of really excited about this. It's been a long time since I've met a grown up who knows less about math than I do, someone who can't do anything!"
"That's ... your majesty.... when you say it like that..."
If his behavior would have been part of an act, he'd be a terrific actor. But in his case, he wasn't acting. He was actually disappointed.
"Even if you treat me as an overprotective grandfather, even if you call me juicy because of my nosebleeds, my love for his majesty won't be shaken, but..... for you to believe that .... this Günter! is a man who can't do anything ... I, I can't take it! Ah!!! A man who can't do anything!!! Oohhhh~ who can't do anything~....
"Ah, sorry, sorry Günter! You're wrong, I understand, I understand! I have my own way of solving math problems. I mean, c'mon, you even taught me the formula to calculate taxes. You misunderstood my words. I don't think that you can't do math! "
Yuuri quickly approached the shelf containing math books and took out a book that was given to him that same morning.
"Math is fine, math is not the problem. The real problem is this."
"Oh, isn't that the banned book 'The Housewife in the Living Room'!?"
"Oh, I see? You sure know a lot about this."
"Your Majesty, where, where did you get that from!?"
"Right, well, this morning before going out, I ran into Cherie-sama and we drank tea together. Ah~! Drinking tea with such a beautiful woman is really nice, huh? It gives you energy to work hard for the rest of the day.... Ah! Günter! Of course, since you're beautiful too, seeing you since early in the morning puts me, in many ways, in a good mood. Besides, even if I'm quite used to the words of this country by now, I can't use the right words that consider the other person's feelings quickly while I speak. After I said this to Cherie-sama, she replied: Oh! Your majesty, the best and fastest way to learn considered words towards others is by learning them in bed."
"Wa-wait a moment, your majesty!? Does this mean that you and I are getting a room!?"
It seems that something was about to be ejected at full speed.
"Wait! Wait, Günter! Don't get ahead of yourself! Even I can realize that the sort of conversation she was referring to is one that happens between lovers in bed. That's why I replied to her sincerely, saying that I don't have a woman to cuddle with in bed. After hearing this Cherie-sama said: 'Then use this!' And she gave me this book."
"'The Housewife in the Living Room - reprint edition' !?
"Yeah, because of the extremely graphic content in this 'love in-action' novel, it was banned 200 years ago. But thanks to the efforts of Cherie-sama, this book has now been reprinted. Reading this in bed, I can increase my vocabulary so that I can use words that are more considered towards others. It seems that Cherie-sama wanted to do this as a favor for me. So I, who don't have a girlfriend, will have to make due with a 'love in-action' novel and a teacher to help me read it in bed."
"Oh, goodness gracious! Your majesty, thank you so much for bringing me here!"
"You don't need to sound so happy.... or, whatever. I'll read it myself first and if I'm not doing it properly please correct me and tell me how to do it right. "
"Eh... that means... t-t-t-t that your majesty, w-w-w-with that voice of yours, y-y-y-you're going to read the 'love in-action' novel, ahhhhh~!!!"
"Yeah, especially the parts that Cherie-sama recommended. Uhm..... 'The cook hugged the housewife from behind and yelled: 'Ah! The housewife in the Living Room, I can't take it in anymore!' "
But the one who couldn't take it anymore was Günter. This was bad, it seems as if he was right about to release some liquids on Yuuri's pretty head . But...
"'Both of them .... 'tripped'? And fell towards the bed and drowned in a world of love that spun round and round. Chunchun-chunchun (birds chirping). The next morning, the lovers woke up to the sound of birds.' ....... What's this? A scene fast-forwarded to birds chirping in the morning!? Where is the forbidden part? Maybe two hundred years ago this was too progressive? But with a content like this even Günter who gets juicy really fast wouldn't even lose a drop of liquid ...but UWAH!!! THE BACK OF MY HEAD! IT'S WET!..... The back of my head, the muscles of my neck there's something warm on it! Gün... GÜNTER!? I can't believe this! Does this fast-forward to birds chirping in the morning scene do it for you!?"
