Volume 8, SS “Milene”
Volume 8, SS “Milene”
In commemoration of the release of “Otome Game World is a Tough World for Mobs, Volume 8” on June 30, we have prepared a bonus SS for “Shosetsuka ni Narou” as well.
I hope you enjoy it.
- Please note that the timing of the story is based on the book (volume 8).
Here’s information for the bonus in volume 8,
? Toranoana
? Melon Books
? BOOK☆WALKER “e-book”
Is where you can get it.
Could this be the first time I’ve made a bonus SS in an e-book?
And this time, too, I did my best for the survey bonus SS, Marie Route!
I’m sorry to say that I have to have my editor check my work every time, but I think it must have exceeded 40,000 words?
You can read the book by purchasing the book, accessing the URL or barcode on the back of the cover or at the end of the book, and answering a questionnaire.
It will be newly written, so I think readers who only read the web version will also enjoy it.
Well, then, thank you for your continued support!

Milene Rafa Holfalt.
It has been more than ten years since she was married to the Holfalt royal family from the United Kingdom of Leparto.
She has beautiful long, silky, platinum blonde hair and melancholy eyes.
Even though she was in her mid-thirties, her beauty dazzled young men.
The first of them is Leon, who has achieved an exceptional rise in his career.
From the third son of a baron, who could not inherit his house, he has now been promoted to a marquis.
He played an active role in the battle against the Principality of Fannouss, and the following year, he went on a rampage in the Republic of Arzel, where he studied.
Within the country, he is called a fiend knight, and from abroad, he is feared as “Holfalt’s ultimate weapon”.
Many people felt pity for the Republic of Arzel, which had accepted him as an international student.
Leon is unpredictable and difficult to deal with, and he shows no respect for the king.
And yet, he acted like a proper knight only to Milene, which led to rumors that he was the “Queen’s Young Swallow*”. (*Note: Young lover of an older woman)
She is treated as the queen who charmed even that fiend knight.
Milene let out a sigh when she saw the pile of papers on the desk in her office.
“Why am I doing this?”
Even documents that would normally be handled by Roland, her husband, were being sent to Milene.
Milene herself has long since given up and accepted the situation, but sometimes she feels irresistibly angry.
As she was checking the documents and writing her signature, one of the maids informed her that a guest was coming.
The other was his son, Julius.
When she gave her permission, her son, who was strangely cheerful, greeted her with a fresh smile.
“Mother, you look well. I have a favor to ask you today.”
When her son came to her without greetings instead he made a request, Milene is disappointed in her heart.
The unnecessarily long greeting was a problem, but she also thought that as a prince, he should observe a little more manners in the royal castle.
If this was Julius when he was the Crown Prince, Milene would have pointed it out harshly.
But now Julius is nothing but a difficult prince to deal with.
Normally, he had have been stripped of his position as crown prince and would have been in a desperate position.
As long as her son seemed to be enjoying himself every day, Milene, as a mother, would respond with the thought, “This is fine”.
“Julius looks fine every day.”
“Yes! I have wonderful days.”
His eyes sparkled and he looked really happy.
“So, what are your needs?”
She wanted to say something sarcastic, but as a mother, she was happy to see her son having such a good time.
However, when she heard Julius’ request, she stopped writing her signature.
“I’m actually thinking of opening a store.”
” ―― Shop?”
“Yes. After all, if I want to become a chef, I want to train somewhere. However, I don’t think any restaurant will accept me because of my position. So! I’ve decided to set up my own restaurant and hone my skills with customers!”
Julius told Milene passionately, with a serious look on his face that he didn’t think he was wrong.
Milene was saddened by his enthusiasm, which he had not shown when he was a Crown Prince.
“I can’t believe a prince wants to be a chef “
Where in the world had Julius strayed from the path?
No matter how she looks at it, it was around the time he entered the school.
(He’s just been seduced by that girl Marie)
Milene knew that many men failed in their relationships with women, but when it was her son, she wanted to complain.
” ―― You should hold off on owning a store. If you really want to become a chef, take instruction from the head chef at the royal palace.”
“Eh? No, what I want to make is skewers, so I think the chef has a different specialty?”
“S-Skewers!?”
“Yes. Skewers are the dish I want. I’m going to become a first-rate skewer shop!”
She hoped he was joking, but Julius’s expression was serious.
Milene was beginning to feel like crying.
She felt a headache and held her forehead with her hand and decided to consult her husband even though she knew she could not rely on him.
“I’ll consult with His Majesty “
Then Julius, for some reason, took a favorable view of what she just said and told Milene where Roland was.
“If that’s the case, let’s find Father at once. He’s probably out in the castle right now, and I want to hurry this up if possible. I’ll help you look for him.”
” ―― Wait. I have a lot to say about that, but really, don’t move. For that matter, why isn’t His Majesty in the castle? I thought he had plans for today.”
“You didn’t know? That’s a dummy schedule. He’s trying to hit on women at this time of the day for the reason that he is learning about the lives of the people in the castle.”
At Julius’s words, Milene clutched the document.
“That good-for-nothing! Forcing me to do all the work while you play around in the daytime?”
“Hyii!?”
Julius backed away and broke out in a cold sweat at the sight of the furious Milene.
Milene rang the doorbell and called the maid who was waiting outside, “Bring back His Majesty,” she ordered in a cold voice.
The story of Julius opening a skewer shop ends in a stalemate.
◇
Evening.
Sitting on a bench near the fountain in the courtyard, Milene watched the sunset.
“My husband is good-for-nothing and my son wants to leave his position as crown prince to become a skewer cook. ―― What was I doing wrong?”
With the guards and maids away, Milene looked a little tired.
Just then, a maid arrives with her package.
“Queen, I have a letter and a package for you from Marquis Bartfalt.”
“From Leon-kun? Is there something urgent?”
When she received the letter and parcel and checked the contents, Milene felt like crying.
The letter from Leon began with the words, “To Dear Queen”.
It was not an urgent matter, but it summarized the recent situation.
And there were many words of concern for Milene’s health.
When she opened the parcel, she found a souvenir inside.
The letter says, “I found a perfect souvenir for Milene-sama during my trip, so I’m giving it to you.”
“Good grief, he’s really ―― “
Milene’s face lights up.
The knights and maids of the guards who were watching were whispering to each other.
“It must be a love letter. Is the fiend knight fearless?”
“The Queen is pleased.”
“Because the Queen’s having a hard time”
Milene was so happy to see the souvenir that she didn’t hear anyone talking around her.
