As many of you lovely weeaboos may know, Japanese has a bunch of personal pronouns that change depending on speaker and context.
For informal occasions, the polite term for ‘I’ is ‘boku’ for males, and ‘watashi’ for females.
For formal occasions, it is ‘watashi’ for both.
After entering the villa building, Fii pulled out the dress in her room, and put it on in a fluster.
But Lynette didn’t come for a while, and it was only after two hours did Fii hear somebody enter the building.
“Fii-sama, are you here? It’s Lynette.”
Lynette’s voice resounded through the villa.
“You’ve come, Lynette. It’s been a while.”
Fii left her room, and welcomed Lynette with an innocent expression.
“Fii-sama!”
The moment she saw Fii’s face, Lynette ran over with teary eyes.
Then, she noticed the rest of Fii, causing her eyes to widen.
“Fii-sama… Your hair…”
“Aah, yeah. It was getting annoying, so I cut it. Ahaha.”
Having her hair pointed out so quickly, Fii’s heart began to pound a little.
(She hasn’t suspected anything, right…?)
Fii didn’t plan on keeping it from Lynette forever.
She had been close to Lynette in Déman and felt that she needed to tell her one day.
But not right now.
If Lynette knew what she was doing, she would be opposed. Because it’s dangerous, she would say.
Thus far, Fii had only failed again and again, and couldn’t proudly say that she was a splendid knight. She wanted to tell Lynette after she was confident that she had grown. She had confidence that she could persuade Lynette if she did that.
And also, Lynette was supposed to be busy with Fiiru now that she had become Queen.
Fii wouldn’t allow her to burden herself with more worries.
Lynette simply staaaared at Fii with a frown.
(Is… Is she suspicious of me…?)
Fii could feel the sweat at her brow.
After watching her for a while, Lynette’s frown deepened, and she began asking Fii about her lifestyle.
“Have you felt any unhappiness living here, or have they mistreated you in any way…?”
“Not at all. Each day is super-! …is kind of fun, in its own way!” persuaded Fii with clenched fists.
She very nearly brought more suspicion on herself by exclaiming that each day was ‘super fun!’.
The truth was that Fii was immensely satisfied with her life in Orstoll. Her life as a knight, that is.
She had met somebody who needed her and she loved everybody in the 18th. She had made friends, and was having fun in the dorms with them. All the lessons and new experiences gave her a sense of fulfilment as well.
Fii even felt glad that she had come to this country.
