Book 9: Chapter 19
“Here, Onii-sama.”
I looked at the mask Freya handed me. I hesitated for a moment before asking, “What’s this?”
“A mask.”
I know it’s a mask. This mask can cover up your entire face, so you’re basically going to have to identify people by their lips once they’ve worn it on… I looked at the mask in my hand that gave off a particularly wild vibe. I asked, “Don’t you think this mask is really unsafe to wear?”
“It cannot be helped, Onii-sama. Her Majesty wished to participate; hence, we must wear masks. If she, alone, wore a mask, she would stand out. As such, we have to get everybody to wear a mask… But it is fine, Onii-sama. You must believe that you will be fine this time. I have already distributed the masks.”
Freya proudly straightened up her posture. She then added, “Further, this can be considered a small present for you. You can go and see the Princesses in a bit.”
“What did you do…?”
“Come on! Put the mask on, Your Majesty!”
Freya went up on her toes and forced the mask onto my head. She then took out another mask and wore it on for herself. Her mask resembled a bird.
