Disappointing Teleportation Magic ~ Even Though The Movement Distance Is Only 1 Millimeter, I Will Rise Through Ingenuity ~ - Chapter 32.2

In the underground quarters, each room was assigned to the queen, princes, and princesses, with the remaining rooms used by the royal guards and those attending to the royal family.

The rooms were about ten tatami mats in size, and in the room assigned to us, there were four rows of bunk beds from the entrance to the back, three against the wall, and two rows in the middle, totaling ten beds.

I was assigned the top bunk at the far end against the wall, where I was supposed to stay quietly.

Incidentally, this room is used by men, but the lower bunk is assigned to Araseli.

That said, in this situation, sharing a bed is impossible.

The underground facility seems to be ventilated using magical tools, so there’s no difficulty in breathing, but it feels psychologically oppressive being isolated from the outside.

Moreover, not only Araseli but also Alberic personally told me to stay put, so I have nothing to do.

In this isolated underground space, I feel even more cut off.

“Araseli, I need to go to the bathroom.”

“Understood…”

For us, who are on alert for an attack, the bathroom is another troublesome space.

Due to the limited space in the underground facility, there is only one bathroom for non-royals, and it is unisex.

As an emergency evacuation facility for wyvern migrations, its size is limited, and the facility didn’t anticipate conflicts between royals.

“Alright, Lord Yuto, as we discussed…”

“Got it.”

When I use the bathroom, I use the furthest stall on the side where six stalls are lined up.

Araseli pretends to use the stall next to mine while keeping an eye out for any suspicious individuals.

When I finish and am about to leave, I knock on the wall separating our stalls, and when Araseli knocks back, I leave the stall.

In other words, Araseli will detect all my movements, and I certainly can’t take care of any sexual needs… It’s a small but growing source of stress.

Following our plan, I leave the stall and see someone exiting the stall diagonally across from me.

“Oh… Kirikaze-kun!”

“Umino-san! Wait, Araseli, she’s not an enemy!”

I reunited with Kazumi Umino after a long time, but Araseli stepped between us to protect me.

I was afraid she’d kick like she did when Kawamoto and his group attacked, so I hurried to stop her, but Araseli motioned for us not to speak.

Indeed, this is a place used by both factions, and there might be people who would be troubled if they overheard us talking.

“This way…”

Araseli had been informed about Umino and had gathered information from those investigating the second prince’s faction, so she seemed to understand the situation.

Araseli led us to a storage room for cleaning supplies.

“I’ll keep watch outside, but keep your voices down.”

“Understood…”

Despite being a storage room, the space is limited, and the distance between Umino and me is less than thirty centimeters.

When Umino, who is slightly shorter than me, looks up at me, I start to feel a bit strange.

“How have you been?”
