Viola was well aware.
When she first arrived on the Kibotos ship, the moment she exchanged greetings with Armonia, she heard about the mission related to Suho.
Armonia explained it simply to Viola, who couldn't understand the complicated details.
The mission was to seduce women...
Viola didn't understand why such a task was necessary, but she did grasp the concept of Suho.
At the time, Viola felt a twinge of jealousy, but she managed to suppress it.
She felt that the grace Suho had shown her was far greater than the petty jealousy she harbored.
However, the moment she witnessed it firsthand, she realized how trivial her resolve had been.
"Haah…"
Shortly after Viola saw the two embracing, the four of them were able to board the ship.
As soon as she moved to the warp room, she found herself in her living quarters.
Suho, flustered, kept making excuses to her, but Viola didn't hear any of it.
Just moments ago, Suho had been knocking cautiously on her door, calling her name, but now it was silent.
"Haah…"
It wasn't that she disliked Suho.
It was just that she found herself despicable.
Even though she knew what kind of person he was, she had stayed by his side, and now she couldn't bear it. She found herself repulsed for not being able to endure it.
As Viola was struggling to calm her emotions, someone knocked on her door.
Knock, knock, knock!
"..."
Viola didn't respond.
But the door to her living quarters opened with a hiss of air pressure.
Swoosh!
"Huh?!"
"Excuse me."
It was Armonia who entered.
Viola wasn't surprised because Armonia had come in.
"H-How?!"
Viola had clearly been told that the doors to the living quarters here couldn't be opened without the resident's permission.
She had heard that if you normally allowed free access, anyone could come and go, but if you set it to lock, no one could enter. That's why Viola had felt secure.
Armonia, with an expressionless face, spoke as if it were obvious.
"I used the chief administrator's authority to forcibly open the door and enter."
"T-That's…"
Viola, flustered, began looking around for a place to escape.
Armonia spoke to Viola, who was in such a state.
"I came here to talk."
"Uh…"
"If your feelings don't change after this, I'll leave immediately."
"..."
The two of them sat down at the table and looked at each other.
When Viola first arrived here, her impression of Armonia was one thing.
She was scary.
Even though she had faced terrifying monsters in the Demon King's castle and had seen the fearsome appearance of the Demon King, Viola had never felt fear.
But Armonia's indifferent expression was perfectly suited to instill fear in her.
For Viola, the hardest thing to endure was indifference.
If there was something equally scary, it would be the Hero.
Actually, it wasn't so much that the Hero was scary, but more that she didn't want to be around him.
Armonia opened her mouth with an expressionless face.
"I understand how you feel, Viola."
"...I'm sorry."
"There's no need to apologize. I understand that part as well."
Armonia had plenty of time to sort out her emotions.
However, she mentioned that if it dragged on for too long, it would lead to unfavorable outcomes for both of them.
The main topic was clearly related to the mission.
But Viola was able to gradually ease her heart as she saw Armonia, who seemed to care about her.
"If you continue to be this depressed, Suho will surely show concern for you. But that could ultimately lead to harm for all of us."
"..."
"That's how much Suho loves you."
"Uh…"
"If you have something to say, please speak."
Viola asked Armonia, who remained expressionless.
"Armonia… have you never had someone you liked?"
"I have."
"Wow, really?"
"The feelings I have left are faint, but I still think I like them."
As if to prove her words about her feelings being faint, she spoke about the person she liked without any change in her expression.
'What kind of person is it…?'
Viola was always a woman who enjoyed gossip. It was her only pleasure.
The atmosphere seemed like it wasn't the right time to ask.
But the scale of curiosity in Viola's heart tipped, and she opened her mouth.
"Uh… can I ask what kind of person they are?"
Armonia looked at Viola, who was smiling with interest, and described the man she loved in one word.
"Trash."
"...Huh?"
Viola thought she must have misheard, or Armonia had misspoken.
"Uh… did I hear wrong…"
"Trash. I think he's worse than garbage, to the point where even the term 'human scum' doesn't suffice."
"Uh...."
Viola's mouth hung open, drool dripping down.
Armonia looked at Viola and confidently said.
"But even so, I love him."
"Ah…"
"The details… I'll tell you more if we ever get closer."
After hearing Armonia's words, Viola was able to regain some composure.
"Uh… I'm sorry. I'll go apologize to Suho."
"No need. Suho will come to apologize to you directly. And one more thing…"
"...?"
Armonia thought for a moment and then gave Viola some advice.
"I'm sure there's nothing more regrettable than living with feelings of defeat in love."
"...Yeah."
Armonia spoke as if it were someone else's story, but Viola could tell.
That she was talking about her own regrets…
"I'll keep that in mind…"
"Then."
Armonia got up from her chair and spoke to Viola.
"If we have time like this again, I'll actively consider traveling to other worlds with Suho. Then, I'll go and wrap things up."
"Uh… Armonia!"
"Yes."
"...Thank you."
"I should be the one thanking you. Then…"
Armonia left Viola's living quarters and walked down the ship's corridor.
She walked through the ship, which was about 30 meters in height and width and incredibly long, and when she reached the midpoint, she saw three people.
One of them, Suho, shouted at Armonia.
"Armonia! How did it go?"
"I think it's resolved for now. The rest can be worked out through conversation."
"Oh yeah! Thank you, thank you!"
As he said that, he ran towards Viola's living quarters.
"..."
Armonia watched his back for a moment, then turned around and spoke to Beatrice and Lena.
"Starting today, I'll explain the rules of living here."

As soon as I woke up, I apologized to Viola, who was staring at me intently.
"Viola, I'm sorry…"
"Mmm, mmm… I'm the one who should be sorry…"
Viola shook her head and smiled.
Viola and I were lying naked in bed.
Originally, I had planned to apologize gracefully and carefully end the day.
But in the end, it wasn't me who made the first move—it was Viola.
She rushed at me, kissed me, dragged me to the bed, took the lead, and started the intercourse.
However, there was something she overlooked.
-[Sexual Skill Lv.11]-
Viola started the intercourse with the same light-hearted attitude as when we usually did it, but from the moment of insertion, I took the lead.
In the end, it was Viola who tired out first and collapsed.
Viola pouted her lips and said.
"This time, I wanted to make you feel good…"
"Haha… What are you talking about? We should both feel good…"
"Hehe…"
Viola closed her eyes and lay quietly for a moment before speaking.
"I… I'm not angry or anything. So… even if something like that happens, just give me some time to think…"
"Yeah… I'll try to make sure that kind of situation doesn't happen again."
"Hehe…"
Viola, as soon as she woke up, hugged me and fell asleep again.

After putting Viola to sleep, I went to the two people in the middle of the ship's corridor.
"I'm sorry for bringing you here and then leaving you to sleep here."
"It's fine, Master."
"I'm okay too, nya."
I apologized to Beatrice and Lena in the middle of the ship's corridor.
The basic living quarters on the ship cost 100,000 Enel.
With the Enel I had now, it was impossible to even buy one living quarter.
The place where the two would stay was the ship's corridor.
The two had spent the day here while I was sleeping with Viola.
Actually, what worried me the most after bringing them here wasn't the living quarters but the relationship between the two.
Beatrice had lost her parents to humans, and Lena had lost her country to demons.
There was a possibility that their discomfort could escalate into hatred.
But surprisingly, there wasn't much of a problem.
"Huh? Our parents were killed by the Hero, nya. It has nothing to do with her, nya."
"Because of what happened, I was able to meet you, Master, so I actually want to express my gratitude."
Beatrice, having been abandoned by her kind, had a faint sense of kinship, so it wasn't a big issue.
Lena seemed to have completely changed her personality…
'Both of them are a mess… But I guess that's why they fit so well with me…'
"Please take care of Viola. Ah! Just so you know, it's not just because of Viola that I brought you two here. I really like both of you, so that's why I brought you."
"Got it, nya!"
"Yes, I understand."
Beatrice was less of a concern.
The problem was Lena.
Even though Viola and I had made up, it was true that my relationship with Lena had become awkward.
"Lena, come here for a moment…"
"Yes."
I took Lena aside, away from Beatrice, and had a conversation.
"Viola might seem a bit childish. Please take care of her."
"I'll do my best not to be a burden to you, Master."
"Yeah, thank you. And…"
"Huh!"
I hugged Lena and said.
"Thank you so much for coming with me. When we have time, let's definitely visit the Feron Duchy."
"Th-thank you for saying that… But I'm the one who…"
Lena, though shy, hugged me tightly.
As I hugged her, I happily let my imagination run wild.
'When we visit the Duchy, I'll definitely do it in front of the Duke… Hehehe…'
I'll make sure to corrupt Lena by the time we go to Feron.
As I was hugging her, Lena cautiously said.
"Master… I'm happy. But if Viola shows up while we're like this…"
"It's okay. We've already made up."
I reassured Lena.
But Lena suddenly started to tremble, her voice panicked.
"Master… behind you…"
"..."
Just because I said it's okay doesn't mean it's really okay…
'Shit, shit, shit…'
I forced a stiff smile and turned around.
Behind me was…
"Guardian, I came to discuss the mission with you."
"Shiiiiit…"
My legs gave out, and I collapsed at the sight of Armonia.
