I Favor the Villainess

"There was something about..."

"Who are you telling, Ray?

"Oh, excuse me. I'm talking to myself."

Time returns once again to the point where Master Claire behaved the hand cooking for me.

"I'm ready to do whatever I can. All we have to do is work hard."

"Right. There have been a lot of unexpected things, but well, we'll figure it out... no, I'll do something to show you."

"That's the intention, Master Claire. Cool!"

"Please don't make fun of me"

Dear Claire, who, at the same time, is not looking full.

Kind of.

I did a lot of things to prepare.

For example, the familiar merchant - Hans, who had taken care of him before - gave me information about the empire.

I am almost certain that this world is the world of games, because there was room for doubt as to whether I would be faithful to Revolyri until the state of the Empire.

I don't think I would have done this by myself, but Master Claire and Mae and Alea are with me somehow.

I've never gone beyond caution.

In addition to Mr. Hans, I asked Lord Rod and Mr. Dollar to cooperate, and I scrutinized the current state of the Empire as carefully as I could.

As a result, it was concluded that not all elements could be verified, but that the empire was almost what I knew.

Now I can't feel safe... but I can go to the Empire with some calm.

"So, Ray, in the end, how many students did the study group have? While I was at dawn studying Revolyri, I left everything around me to myself."

"Oh, it's settled. It's like fifty people."

This eyeball is like Matt said, Yu.

Master Yu is a former heir to the throne, now Cardinal of the Spirit Church.

He is an indispensable person for this exchange study, which also means hostage exchange.

Of course I'm with Misha in my belly.

In addition, Lana, Eve and Yoel are with me from my class in charge.

May and Allea also decided to enroll in the Imperial College Kindergarten.

Although I know once and for all what imperial education is like, I am also a little anxious about that.

Either way, it would be quite gratifying to have you both in an educational facility for Master Claire or I to move around for an imperial cage.

"They're also sending international students from Suse and Appalachia. I hear Lene's coming too."

"Well!"

As soon as I gave Lene's name, Master Claire's complexion became much brighter.

Dear Claire, I still love Lene.

A little jealous.

When I look uninteresting,

"Oh, are you jealous?

"I don't know. Tsum."

"Restore your mood. Lene's a friend, but Ray's a lover, isn't he?

"Yes, but I'm still jealous of what I'm jealous of."

"Hehe, you're adorable"

Lady Claire laughed lusciously and kissed me.

"Uh, Ray, you're just sloppy! May and May!

"I want you to do it too."

"Yes, yes, in order."

Lady Claire smiles and also drops her mouth on Mae and Allea's hair.

The two looked ticklish, and happily took it.

"Can I come with you?

"It's a little fuzzy."

May and Allea, who refrain from leaving tomorrow and are a little familiar, still seem a little anxious.

"It's okay. May and Alea are so cute."

"May cute?

"Me too?

"Yeah, very"

"Wow."

"Ha-ha-ha, you're praised."

Now from May and Alea, I kiss Lady Claire's cheek.

Master Claire narrowed her eyes and received it.

"You won't do it to me?

"Do you want me to?

"Well, would you mind?

"Please do"

"There's no other way."

"I can't help it."

I feel something unexplained in my treatment, but still the two of them kissed me too.

When I caught them, I was forced to rain a kiss on their marshmallow-like cheeks.

"Yah, it is!

"Please don't -"

I seriously hated you, so I have no choice but to let you two go.

A little dented.

"I think I see the hierarchy in this house"

Master Claire is the apex, May and Alea underneath it, and me at the bottom.

"Heh, that's not true. We both have a good respect for Ray. Right?"

Master Claire told me to take it.

"Ray, come on. Your dinner is so good!

"Let's get started, Ray, you'll see how amazing you are."

Of the two, my best value seems to be cooking.

I'm getting a little hung up again.

No, I'm happy for you.

Because I like to cook, and I think cooking is a fine life skill.

But some more like this, something... hey?

"Go to sleep now, you two. Tomorrow is early."

It's already about twenty o'clock.

May and Alea have bedtime.

"Oh, no, I've got some more."

"I don't have it yet."

The two people, who usually didn't waste so much, rarely chanted their differences.

"Even if you're saying that, you both want to sleep, don't you? I heard you had heavy eyelids earlier, didn't you?

"Ugh... no..."

"I'm keeping it..."

It's rare that I don't hear this far when I go to bed.

I wonder what's wrong.

"'Cause when it comes to tomorrow, goodbye to both of these guys, right?

"I miss you."

"Ah..."

I see, there's a point.

For May and Allea, this is their first "home".

He said he lived on the street when he was in Slam Street, and the monastery doesn't really feel like his house because it's a group life either.

For both of us, this was the first house we could recognize as "our own."

That would be trying to get away.

"No, May, Alea. It's not this house, is it?

They looked strange.

Lady Claire continued, laughing at that half sleepy look.

"In that case, it's not goodbye. I'm coming, right?

"Really?

"We, once again, are welcome back -?

"Yeah, this house will be waiting for Mae and Allea to come back soon."

That said, Master Claire held them both up.

"Shall we all sleep today? in our room."

"! I like that!

"You all have a good night!

"Yeah. So is Ray?

"Of course. I'll carry the futon,"

"Please."

Leaving May and Allea to Master Claire, I carried the two futons to the bedroom.

Think about what's to come while carrying a light duvet.

"Even for May and Allea and Master Claire, we will surely return to this house alive"

Life in the Empire will not be as calm as it is now.

Imperial cage operations, starting with contacts with Filine, should also be forced to make more difficult decisions than during the revolution.

Still...

"Win the future and show it. Nothing else, for the Claires."

That day the whole family slept in the letter of the river.

Lady Claire and I on both ends, May and Alair on the other.

Mae and Alea fought a little bit over which side was Master Claire, but Mae won the battle because of Jahn.

I'm not gonna miss you. Don't.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

The next morning, when we finished loading, we were waiting for the carriage that was put in front of the house.

Master Claire closes the keys to the house at the end.

To the Empire of Various.

But before that.
