KAREL IS HIDING ALL THE DANGER

"I'd say the one you're wearing," you say. "It just seems more like you."
"Huh?" Karel squints.
"I mean that it seems more like something that I could see you wearing on your own," you shrug. "Not to mention that it's more practical. You'd be able to hide a dagger in each boot... maybe something in the sleeves..."

Both girls roll their eyes at you.

"What, I'm being serious here!"
"Yeah, yeah..." Karel sighs.
"You're at least going to wear your sword with that, right?"
"yeah," she nods. "I'll just switch the belt over to this, I guess."
"Alright," you reply. "Really though, you look really nice like that. Dresses suit you well."
"And I bet Emilio will think so too!" Melanie giggles as she wraps her arms around the Princess's shoulders. "Just you watch, spending the day with you looking all cute like this will be like a direct route to his heart!"

Wow. Melanie's line was so cheesy that you find yourself blushing along with Karel.


>[1/?]

>>37743735
>Both girls roll their eyes at you.
Bitches don't know bout the dangers of town.

How's Emilio gonna hide his "I'm a Marconetti Royal, please stab my face"-colored hair?

>>37743746
He was talking about getting a wig or something

>>37743746
Oh yeah, we need to tell Karel about the official adoption!

>>37743755
Can it be an Elvis-esque pompadour?

>>37743735
>[2/2]

"So my work here is done..." Melanie says, smiling at Karel. "I need to help Princess Marianne get ready now, but I'll leave that other outfit here just in case you decide that you want to wear it tomorrow."
"...yeah," Karel sighs. "Thanks."

Seemingly in a dream world, Melanie practically floats out of the room.

"......"

With the two of you alone once again, Karel turns to you.

"...you really don't think I look stupid in this?" Karel asks.
"No," you shake your head. "You look really cute."

A wide grin forms on your lips.

"Why, I might even have found myself enamoured with you if I didn't happen to already be in love with a Princess of my own," you laugh.
"Ugh, cut it out," Karel groans, shoving you aside. "That's not even funny."
"What, am I that undesirable?" you pout.
"Seriously, it's just gross when you act like that."

After giving Karel's hair another good rustle, you make your way towards the door.

"I guess I ought to head out too," you say. "See you later."
"Uh, yeah," Karel mumbles. "and... thanks."
"Any time."

After leaving Karel's room, you go down the hallway a short ways before stopping in front of Emilio's door.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

"What, is it time for breakfast already?" Emilio asks as he opens the door... and freezes when he sees that it's you instead of one of the servants.
"Hey," you say, waving to him.
"Uh, hi..." he replies, smiling weakly.

But something is off...

"Umm, what are you wearing?" you ask, staring at the now black-haired Prince.
"...I look stupid, don't I?" Emilio mumbles. "I'm going into town today and I needed something to wear so Melanie brought some of UNcle Gregory's old clothes here..."
"Nah, I'm sure Karel will like it," you reply, shaking your head.


>what shall you say to the Prince?

>>37743966
>some of UNcle Gregory's old clothes
Greg had an... interesting taste in fashion

>>37743966
>Look at Emilio awkwardly, at a lack of words.

>>37743966
Aww, he's adorable!
When he and Karel finally hook up they're gonna make the cutest babbies.

>>37743966
So, what's your plan for the day with Karel?

>>37743966
>what shall you say to the Prince?
Ask if he's got any plans/nerves regarding heading into town with Karel.

>>37743984
>the cutest babbies
With the worst complexes and lacks of confidence.

>>37743966
So, you let slip about your guys' outing? Not saying it was a bad idea, but Karel was a little peeved.

>>37743984
>Their son crossdresses, has no balls or self-esteem, and harbors fears of being executed over potential succession problems.

>>37744008
I'll just be hoping that two negatives makes a well adjusted human being.

>>37743997
That adds to the adorability!

>>37744012
Well, that kid's likely gonna rule over at least one, if not two countries, so let's pray for a miracle.

>writing

>>37744019
>Well, that kid's likely gonna rule over at least one, if not two countries
I doubt is Karel has no claim since Raoul gave up his.

>>37744035
Yeah but nobody wants to run Marconetti, so they'll dump it on Karel babby before it understand the concept of "No."

"So..." you look around. "...you're the one who let it slip about wanting to head into town with Karel?"
"Uh-" he reels back for a splitsecond, then grabs your hand and pulls you into the room.

You're not sure what's going on.

Once he's sure that the door is closed, Emilio turns back to face you.

"...yeah, it was me," Emilio sighs.
"Why did you-"
"Because Karel's still pissed at me for being stupid and I wanted to do something to maybe make her happy?" he shrugs. "I saw her smiling back when we mentioned it on the ride back here, and..."
"Heh."

So that's it.


>so do you like her?
>did you have anything planned for the day?

>>37744035
Considering that Celestino has exhausted all the other options I think he would settle for an heir with the blood of the Granche royal family even without the claim.

>>37744047
>did you have anything planned for the day?

No point stating the obvious.

>>37744047

>did you have anything planned for the day?

>>37744047
>did you have anything planned for the day?

>>37744047

>did you have anything planned for the day?
Why not both?

>>37744061

Probably would have been too lewd for a first date.

Don't worry we're here to make things worse.

>>37744157
Maybe It's talk like a pirate day in Granche?

"...you didn't have to tell anyone but her, you know," you say.
"Yes I did," Emilio sighs. "Since I'm here in secret, I'd need to tell the King or UNcle Gregory at the very least, and then this would've happened anyways..."

Oh.

"Well did you have anything planned out for the day?" you ask.
"Not really," Emilio mumbles. "I haven't been in the capitol here since I was maybe five years old, and Karel never has at all..." he sighs.
"No plans at all?"
"No," he shakes his head. "I just wanted to do something that she'd want to do today since yesterday was spent with her in that dress and everyone teasing her every five minutes, you know?"
"I guess," you nod.
"God, why did this have to get all complicated like this..." he grumbles.
"How so?"


>[1/?]

>>37744164

Rein please be less dense.

>>37744164
It's not that complicated. She want's your dick, you want to give her your dick. Just give her the dick.

"My best friend turns out to have been a pretty girl all this time," Emilio mumbles. "I mean, I've spent my entire life around pretty guys so I thought that she was just like that, you know? Giancarlo, Monique... did you know that my brother lost a bet once and had to spend the day in a dress, and then got hit on over a HUNDRED times?"
"...no. I did not know that."

And you really wish that you still didn't.

"But no," Emilio sighs. "Karel's a pretty girl. A -really- pretty girl. Who likes me. How would you feel if you were in my shoes?"
"My best friend -is- a pretty girl, so..." you shrug.

And she also told you that she liked you, not that you're about to let him know that.

"Aagh..." he slumps over. "Could you just like... help me out here?"
"Well you could always tell her that you like her back," you shrug. "That's sure to make her happy."
"I can't do that..." he mumbles.

No Elmo, I think you can, you just invent reasons why you shouldn't. You can, and you probably should.

>>37744199

1. Make a bet with Giancarlo

"Just..." Emilio sighs, "...I dunno, can't you come along with us and coach me on what to say to her?"
"......"
"C'mon, please?" he begs. "All you'll have to do is direct us to nice places in town since neither one of us knows the area. That and hit me when I'm about to say something stupid."
"Well I could always to that second part," you say, raising your hand in the air.

Emilio flinches so hard that you instantly feel guilty about even joking about that.

"I'd like to help you, but I'm Marianne's bodyguard," you say. "And I don't have off today, so I'm stuck accompanying her for the day."

>I'd like to help you, but my hands are tied.
If we babysit him on his date, then Karel will like the thinks we're telling Emilio to do and fall for us like the lobster lady in that episode of Futurama... And we all know how that ended.

Just give Emilio some pointers and name some places that we've visited that the girls liked on our outings.

>>37744240
>>I'd like to help you, but my hands are tied.
I can give you directions to a few places but that's it.

What are the good spots in town Karel would like?

Wilhelm Bakery
The Sushi place Nico likes
The jewelry shop Nico liked
The restaurant Citrine had us get take-out from
The clothes shop
Wherever we got the Llama plush for Marie

Anything else?

>>37744240
Look Emilio, she likes you for who you are, you don't need to act like someone you're not or put on a big show.
Just go into town, spend some time talking and shopping in the morning, grab a nice lunch somewhere she thinks looks interesting and have afternoon tea in a park.

If things are awkward for you they're probably just as awkward for her so just say something stupid to break the ice.

>>37744281
The magic shop, Emilio can buy some scrolls and beginner books for her or something?

>>37744294
That's a good idea it is a shared interest of theirs after all.

>>37744240
>I'd like to help you, but my hands are tied.

I seem to remember something about there being a theater in town that one of the girls wanted to take Rein to because he's never seen a play before.

>>37744344
Emilio's pretty cool, I like him.
Certainly not Greg or Arnaud cool, not even Reya cool or Andreas cool, but still, cool.

>>37744358
>play dumb
She's making or bad morning joke easy for us today.

>>37744358
>ask her what's going on

Rhetorical questions, aho!

"I'd like to help you," you say, "but my hands are tied. Sorry."
"Dammit..." Emilio moans.
"But hey," you shrug. "Karel likes you for you so it's not like you need to act like someone you're not in order to impress her, you know? Just hang out like you two used to back when you thought that she was a guy."
"......I guess..."

While Emilio dawdles, you pull out your sketchbook and write down a list of all the interesting places in town that you've been to with your friends. The bookstore, bakery, magic shop... everything that you can think of that could possibly be on interest to them.

"Here," you say, handing the paper to Emilio. "This should help at least a little bit,."
"...thanks," Emilio says as he looks at the list that you just gave him.
"And now I have to go and meet up with Marianne so I'll be seeing you later."

After leaving Emilio's room, you make a beeline for the basement. After taking your usual spot by the entrance to the dining hall, you only have to wait about ten minutes before you hear the usual maidly chatter that heralds the Princess's arrival.

"Hey Mar-"

you stop yourself when you notice what Marianne's wearing. Unlike the usual fancy dresses that you've grown accustomed to seeing her in, you recognize her current attire as her "Marie" disguise.

>>37744408
Arnaud. Duh.

"You look kind of different today," you say, scratching your head with a goofy smile on your face.
"Ha ha," Marianne sighs. "Now if you're done joking around, I'd appreciate it if you'd head back up to your room and get changed into your civilian clothes."
"Huh?"
"As you can clearly tell just from looking," she holds out her hands to either side, "we'll be heading out into town today. Melanie told me that Karel and Emilio planned on doing so as well so I thought this the perfect opportunity to spend some actual time with my cousin."

That is totally not cool Marie.
I mean I'm totally okay with spying on them and visiting the baby but I draw objection to crashing dates.

>>37744456
She probably doesn't know it's a date.
We do.
Telling her now gives her a chance to think about it rather than us letting her blindly stumble into embarrassing all three of them when we could have prevented it.

Or, she does know it's a date and we're questioning her about some fairly suspicious behavior. Either way, we're not being Densehold about the situation.

I hope Marianne doesn't get jealous because Emilio fancies someone else now.

"...so you're crashing their date?" you ask.

You're not sure how you feel about that.

"Not at all," Marianne shakes her head. "We'll simply be accompanying them, that's all."
"Sounds like the same thing to me," you reply.
"Honestly..." she sighs. "We'll be eating in separate places and should I notice the mood leaning towards the romantic, we'll simply split off from them and give them their privacy then."
"......."
"Don't look at me like that," she crosses her arms over her chest. "There were also some other issues that Melanie mentioned that I could help with, thank you very much."
"Like what?"
"Like none of your business," she scoffs.
"I'm just saying... my Grandma and everyone else was going to come visit, and..
"We won't be leaving until noon at the earliest, so you'll get to see them," she replies. "Now get changed, I won't be able to eat until you get back."

"Yes, Princess," you reply with a disapproving sigh.

And with that, you leave the Princess to chat with her maids and head back upstairs to get changed...

>>37744664
Well to be fair she did show her sweet side from time to time. Like in giving Luciana the talk etc.

>>37744664
>they think there's a super sweet center to her
Yeah, no. Not unless we manage to age-regress to infancy through magic or become her father through time-travel dickery.

>>37744624
>>tell emilio and/or karel that marianne's coming too
Might as well warn them. Especial since we told Emilo we could come with him, he might think we were planning this behind his back or something.

>the princess says hurry so you're going to hurry..

>>37744624
>tell emilio and/or karel that marianne's coming too

I agree with
>>37744651
>>37744646

We've gotsa get them to skedaddle before "Marie" figures anything out!

Of course this won't be our fault at all when we return..

>writing

>>37744664
With a lot of tsundere's, you're right. But we've already seen Marianne be sweet, so it doesn't really apply.

>if today goes to shit it won't actually be our fault
Damn, I'm not sure Reinhold knows this feeling

>>37744690
Maybe we could do so in an innocuous manner.

>Hi Emilio my good man, I just so happened to come your way on my way to getting dressed into undercover clothes because our mutual acquaintance wants to hit the town, wink wink, nudge nudge

>>37744740
Too subtle maybe add a "RUN!" to the end.

>>37744740
"Reinhold? you followed us?!"
deadpan "Wherever Marie goes I must follow..."

Do Rein and Mari get new covert dreamselfys or what?

Along the way, you make a stop at the floor of the castle where Karel and Emilio's rooms in order to give them a warning that their private date will be intruded upon.

KNOCK KNOCK

"Finally, breakfast!" Emilio opens the door. "...oh."
"Hello again," you sigh.
"I- it's not like I'm unhappy to see you or anything," Emilio smiles nervously.
"It's fine," you shake your head. "I just came back to tell you that Marianne's decided to butt in on your date with Karel, so..."
"What!?"

Emilio's eyes grow wide.

"S- so that means that you'll be coming after all!?" he gasps.
"yeah," you shrug. "Sorry..."
"Yes!" he pumps his fist in the air. "Now I have someone to keep me from making a fool of myself!"
"...you're not mad about losing your privacy?" you ask.
"I don't care about that," he shakes his head. "I feel more comfortable with someone else around to help me out, you know?"
"...I guess..."

The poor guy's completely insecure.

"Anyways, I need to hurry so I'll see you later," you say to the Prince.
"Alright," Emilio nods. "See you soon!"

Emilio's taking the girl who he was trying to get together with 5 minutes ago and was awkward as balls around butting in on the date he winged with her cousin far better than anticipated.

Time's a-wasting lads. We already took a detour, there's literally no point in taking another one, and princess is growing hungry.

>writing

>>37744844
Karel's room is right next to Emilo's. Oh no what a detoru, walking a few steps down the hall.

>>37744844
In all fairness, she's hungry because she's waiting for us to get dressed, which is her fault anyway.

>>37744865
Every minute counts. Especially when someone's waiting for you and you dilly dally by chatting with everyone.

>>37744888
Considering that Karel hadn't intended to tell anyone about this date and just wanted to enjoy a day relaxing with Emilo, I think it is only fair that we tell her that her cousin is planning on crashing their date.

>>37744888
I doubt she's going to starve.
Besides, if she gets too hungry, she can eat without us. I'm not entirely sure why eating breakfast without Rein is a bigger security risk than waiting about in the corridor without him anyway.

Yay typing faster than usual.
but it also increases the number of typos that I need to correct... stupid keyboard.

>>37744888
Screw her if she'd listened to us or given us some warning she wouldn't have to wait, we'll tell her we couldn't find our casual clothes or something.

>>37744913
It's not. She just doesn't like to eat breakfast alone.

Once Emilio closes his door, you rush down the hall and stop in front of Karel's.

KNOCK KNOCK

"What?" Karel calls out.
"It's me!" you shout back.
"...come in," she mumbles.

You walk inside, and see Karel in the middle of hanging up the alternate outfit that Melanie brought up in her closet.

"What now?" Karel asks.
"Sorry to bug you again," you sigh, "but I wanted to tell you that Marianne's decided that she'll be tagging along on your date," you say. "So that means that I'll be coming along too."
"......" Karel rubs her temples with one hand. "......dammit..." she mutters.
"Sorry..."
"No, it ain't your fault." she shakes her head. "This's just probably Marianne wanting to get to know me better as family or whatever..." she sighs. "Fine, alright. It isn't like she's gonna give up if I tell her to to come along anyways."
"You're taking this pretty well."
That's just because I'm fucking exhausted already," she replies. Between you and Melanie and Emilio, I'm completely burnt out."
"Sorry to hear that."
"Really, you need to quit apologizing for stuff that you didn't have anything to do with," she rolls her eyes.

Having given the news, you bid the Princess goodbye and hurry upstairs as fast as your legs will carry you. Stopping in your room, you get changed out of your uniform and into your street clothes, then make your way back down the stairs...

Stopping on the main floor of the castle, you hurry along...

"Reinhold!!" a familiar voice calls out to you.

You turn around just in time to be tackle-hugged by Elena.

"Ehehe!" Elena giggles as she hangs onto you.
"Hey, Elena..." you laugh. "You seem happy this morning."
"Reinhold."

You find yourself being hugged by a second little girl...

"I am happy too," Inaba says as she hugs you.
"Nice to see you too," you reply.

As the two girls finally let go of you, you notice something about Inaba.

"No shoes?" you ask, pointing at her feet.
"She won't wear them," Elena replies, shaking her head.
"Feel bad," Inaba pouts. "Don't like."

"Sorry!" Reya shouts as he runs over to where the three of you are. "They spotted you and bolted..."
"It's okay," you shake your head. "But why're you guys here so early in the morning?"
"I don't wanna miss getting to see your grandma when she gets here!" Elena chirps.
"She woke up at six in the morning," Reya sighs. "And then woke me up."

Dealing with her really must be a handful.

"Well she isn't here yet," you reply, shrugging.
"That's okay!" Elena replies happily. "We can go play with Karel and Emilio while we wait!"
"...they're actually coming with us into town," you say with an uneasy smile.
"Aw..." she mumbles. "...so Karel isn't gonna get to see your Grandma too?"
"Dunno," you shrug.
"That sucks," she pouts.

As we walk downstairs mention Niklaus would like to meet Iniba.

>>37745014
>bring them downstairs, marianne still hasn't seen inaba like this yet

>>37745014
>>bring them downstairs, marianne still hasn't seen inaba like this yet
Can anyone remember how Mari feels about rabbits? Cause I can't and now I am wondering if they are her favorite animal.

>>37745014
Tell them they are in their rooms and that we need to go change real quick. Tell them to bug Emilio specifically. I don't want Karel knowing we sent her more headaches intentionally.

>>37745014
>bring them downstairs, marianne still hasn't seen inaba like this yet

>>37745041
>>37745042
Oh whoops, pardon my poor reading comp.

Let's bring them to Marianne then.

>>37745014
>bring them downstairs, marianne still hasn't seen inaba like this yet
Mari said that we'd have time to see Agnes, so I guess Karel will, unless they leave earlier.
Also, bring up the Niklaus thing but allow Mari and Reya to weigh in as voices of reason.

>>37745042
We have though, we're just not back yet.
At least now we have an excuse though.

>>37745042
We already changed

>>37745057
On that note, don't forget to tell them that Niklaus wants to see Inaba and experiment on her. Well, maybe not in these words.

"You wanna come downstairs to see Marianne?" you ask. "That's where I'm headed, and Marianne still hasn't seen Inaba all cute like this yet..."
"I cute," Inaba pats her chest.
"You sure are," Reya says, ruffling the bunnygirl's hair.
"Umm, okay!" Elena hops in the air. "I wanted to say hi to Marianne anyways!"
"Alright," you nod. "Let's get going..."

and with that, the four of you make your way downstairs.

"Oh yeah," you say along the way, "Elena?"
"Hm?"
"The Archmage here, Niklaus Sucher... he said that he'd like to see Inaba since he's never seen an ascended animal before."
"'kay," Elena nods. "That okay with you, Inaba?"
"Is okay," Inaba replies.

Inaba and Elena start chatting along the way, and they end up trailing behind you as a result... and so, you find yourself alone when you rejoin the Princess.

"Ah, there you are," Marianne sighs.
"Sorry for the wait," you reply, "but there's someone who wanted to see you..."
"Marianne!"

Seemingly on cue, Elena shouts her fellow Princess's name as she races over to where she's standing.

"Hi!" Elena says, a beaming smile on her face.
"Good morning," Marianne replies, meeting Elena' smile with one of her own. "I see that you're particularly happy today."
"That's 'cuz I get to see Reinhold's grandma today!"
"Ah, that would be something that you'd see as cause to ce-"

Marianne stops midsentence and stares at the little girl who's standing next to Elena.

"...who is this?" Marianne asks.

You step aside and let the girls explain.

"This is Inaba!" Elena says matter-of-factly.
"...Inaba?" Marianne stares at her.
"Yes," Inaba nods.
"Wasn't that the name of your pet rabbit?" she asks.
"Yup!" Elena nods. "Inaba was such a good girl that she turned into a real girl instead of just a bunny! And now we can be SUPER best friends!" she says, hugging the bunnygirl.
"Like Elena best," Inaba replies as she hugs her back.
"Oh my..." Marianne gasps. "Oh my God..."

It looks like she's about to faint.

...but then she swoops in and wraps her arms around INaba.

"YOU'RE SO CUTE!!!" Marianne squeals in delight, making a sound that you didn't even think was possible from her. "You're all tiny and precious and you have those adorable ears too!"
"I know, right?" Elena laughs.
"Elena, you are SO lucky!" she says as she continues to hug Inaba.
"...too tight," Inaba says.

Immediately, Marianne lets go of her.

"...sorry," Marianne laughs nervously. "I try to maintain my composure at all times, but..."
"Is okay," Inaba shakes her head. "I like you."

Marianne grabs your hand.

"Reinhold!" Marianne shouts. "She likes ME!"
"...Congratulations?" you reply with a nervous chuckle.
"She's just so..." the Princess clenches her fists and slowly raises them in the air. "...Inaba, could I please..."
"Is okay," Inaba replies. "But not tight."

Completely free from all restraint, Marianne wraps her arms around Inaba and lifts her in the air.

"Marianne is soft," Inaba says, smiling as Marianne hugs her. "Smells good too."

Marianne continues to go on and on about how adorable Inaba is while hugging her and giggling in a really uncharacteristic fashion... until the sound of ELena's stomach growling alerts the other PRincess.

"Oh Elena," Marianne says, finally putting Inaba back down onto the floor. "You're hungry?"
"We left really early so I didn't get to eat," Elena replies.
"I hungry too," Inaba chimes in.
"Well why don't the three of you join us for breakfast?" Marianne asks. "It wouldn't be any problem at all to have some more food prepared for you..."
"'kay!" Elena chirps.
"Wow, thanks," Reya replies, smiling nervously. "I thought I was gonna have to go without today..."
"Oh, it's no problem at all," Marianne replies. "Now let's go and take a seat so that we can be served."

With that, the five of you make your way into the dining hall.

Are rabbits among Mari's favorite animals? I think this may have been answered back on Namek but I can't remember.

>>37745312

They're not her favorite, but she does like them because they're adorable.

>>37745368
>What do/would the other girls think of Karel and Emilio's date and Mari's meddling?
Luciana would tell her to butt out.
Melanie's the one who orchestrated this whole thing so yeah.
Nicolette wouldn't care.
Sylvie would be too embarrassed to try and get involved.
Rana wouldn't care.

>Who are your favorite characters to write dialogue between?
At this point, it's probably Marianne and seriousmode Luciana.
Melanie's also grown on me a lot.

But which alternate PGQ timeline is best timeline?

>>37745590
The one where Reinhold is still suck in Cateno getting raped by Spinelle every night

>>37745638
You do realize that timeline only has bad ends mostly involved with him going full axe murderer on the entire brothel.

>>37745638
So do you think Reinhold would eventually become the brothel proprietor after Boss, or would he remain a fucktoy of the Madame for remainder of his days?

>>37745590
The Gregdoption timeline with Nico healing route is just too adorable

>>37745638
That timeline is the real timeline. All this is just a dreamworld he dreamt up to cope with the neverending rape and trauma. That's why he didn't wanted to see Spinelle in Cateno, cause it would have ruining the iilusion.

>>37745703
Gregdoption is my favorite.
The only downside is that it still requires Volker to die, which sucks, but Rein getting raised in best family with Nico as his protective sister is just too perfect.
