At the next crossroads your cordon finally splits. Surprisingly, the guards set out to escort Alex back, leaving you alone with instructions how to reach the principal's office. Somehow they trust you more than Alex... But being alone is not exactly what you want - not now.
Channeling your inner Femsona - a surprisingly difficult task for some reason - you prance and grasp Leonie's arm. "Please! Stay with me! Don't leave me alone!" You cry, desperately clinging to her waist.
Both guards share 'glances' meanwhile Alex stares in shock... But quickly smiles knowingly and says "Miss Nakamura clearly needs protection, and its unbecoming to ignore a lady in need."
"...A maid would know, right?" Jabs the masked guard making Alex squirm.
Leonie meanwhile looks... distressed, but quickly clears her throat and forces a smile. "T-tis a woman's shame to ignore a maiden's's advances... Right?" She laughs awkwardly.
Ignoring her remark, the other guard tenses. "Great, she trusts you... Prove you still have human dignity." To which Leonie winces and looks at you. You smile~

Soon with your royal knightess in tow you advance to the Demon's lair. Surprisingly, her previously borderline predatory behavior changed to one more like today morning. With her safeguarding you, with side glances and checkups. It kinda makes you feel important and, weirdly, safe - given she can, and WILL, gun you down if you give her a reason to...
...But its not why you taken her. She seems like a gulible asset, and you don't want to waste that chance. Trying your hardest to sound as sweet and pure as you can, you lightly nudge her. "Ms. Guard, I would love to hear more about you... How is it in the guard?"
For a moment she stays deep in deep in thought, but then she smiles and hooks you into a bear hug. "Curious ain't we, cutie?" She says genially, but still on lookout.
The rest are formalities. With simple praises and cute noises you prompt her in the directions you want her to. Soon she bemoans how her work for the guard is nothing but bashing kids, keeping the foreigners at bay and, ever since yesterday, moving back-crushing amounts of containers around the area. Surprisingly, Leonie considers the monsters 'Boogeymen'.
As you get ever nearer you praise her gear, to which she says it's the mandatory, uncomfortable armor found in the barracks. She doesn't recommend. Noted...
Hugging her tighter, you whisper "Any senpais~?" At which she cringes, but goes on a tangent about how her higher-ups got relocated a short while ago due to 'scandals' and left the system inflexible and inefficient. But nobody, including her, seeks to do anything about it as it 'obfuscates their abuses' and 'is a convenient excuse'. Eh?
