"You're the rumored logic. My granddaughter took care of her the other day."

Regards, I hold the hand offered.

A pre-emptive attack?

I see, most of the time I'm here for a reason. [M]

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Count Albert Glendrek. I'm the one who took care of Mr. Merkluk."

The tightly gripped hands are covered in thick skin.

This is the result of accumulating loads over the years. I'm not just training my body.

The raised body is about 175 cm tall and exudes an intimidating atmosphere just by standing on a body that is trained enough not to make you feel old.

Is it best to describe it as a masterpiece?

There is no point in listening to the previous reputation.

The feeling of being scratched around your stomach will not be understood unless you actually confront it like this.

"I hear you need to talk. Let's go to the back reception room. What can I get you for a drink?

"No, I don't need a drink. I'm not going to stay long."

"Haha, you won't be so reluctant. Yes, I've got your favorite apple juice. I'll have him bring it."

"... my heart hurts."

It is suspicious to go to the clouds as soon as possible.

It's not about the level you think.

How to take ownership of the conversation, how to apply pressure, and when to intimidate - all of which are first-class items.

If you think about it, is it natural?

Societies of nobility are not sweet enough to be achieved by merely exercising their abilities. To retain your authority with your men, you need to keep your tongue down.

I caught a glimpse of why he won so much power.

"Merkluk, prepare glasses and juice for five. Wine for me."

"Yes, sir."

That's how Lukul shows off his perfect bow.

It seems that we no longer need to hide it.

Does it mean that Lukulu behaves like a tyrant in school, but he is only a servant here?

and gently press your elbow into your flank.

I almost screamed with surprise.

"... ah, hah. I thought it was Celia or my heart would stop."

"You don't have to stand on the arrow."

"Eh...!?

Grabbed by the collar and brought her face closer to the point where her nose and nose could touch each other.

Red eyes like blood looked at me. [M]

"Are we a team? Then we should all share the burden. Isn't that right?"

Without asking for an answer, Celia lightly smashes herself on my forehead.

Afterwards, it was released to throw it away.

"You always smiled at me with an unbelievable face. Otherwise, I might regret betting on you."

Fufu, I look at Celia, who smiles softly, and somehow I realize that her lips are rising.

That's right, that's right.

Disturbance in breathing leads to disturbance in the mind.

Laughing is the quickest way to get the right breath back. Even if you don't speak up, just making a smile calms your feelings.

"Thank goodness. It was completely swallowed by the atmosphere."

"I knew Albert Glendrek was such a man from the beginning. I stayed calm this way because you took on the spearhead of intimidation."

My hand is unexpectedly shaken.

It feels familiar, like I've been connected many times. I didn't have to go out of my way to find out who it belonged to.

"Rosie, I'm with you."

"... thank you."

Take a deep breath and change your mind.

What did I look like the next time I raised my face? [M]

I don't know for myself.

"Huh?"

But Albert's reaction, which welcomed us in the reception room, was telling the story.

"You look good. What kind of mood changes did you have in the moment?

I don't know.

I can see Albert twisting his neck from the front.

"Because what I told you wouldn't make sense."

"Interesting."

Albert snorts his throat and shows the sofa with a pleasant expression.

"Call me. Both of you, come on."

Lower your hips on a fine leather sofa as told.

I sit in the middle with Risha and Celia on both sides. [M]

Albert sat across the table, and Yuri sat next to him with a confused face.

"Excuse me."

Lulu comes into the reception room with a polite bow, holding the tray in one hand.

I put a glass in front of Risha, Celia and Yuri and poured apple juice there.

I saw the label and noticed it. This is the same thing we serve at the dining bar “Anemone Night”.

Albert raised one eyebrow unexpectedly to me with a snort. [M]

"Don't you like it?

"No, I just thought you liked craftsmanship. I hope you're not mistaken, but I'm not derogatory. I love craftsmanship too."

"Haha, you're still a reputable man. Good, this is going to be fun for the first time in a long time."

"I hope it meets your expectations."

Place the glass when the drink has run out.

Lisa and Celia looked at me many times with anxiety. [M]

It's okay, it's not poisoned.

"Rosie Mystilia, I like you more and more. There aren't many guests who can honestly put what they put out in these places."

"It's not impossible. If I were to judge you by your reputation alone, I would have done the same."

"Well, what about judgment other than public reputation?

"You're a big confident sadist who feels the pleasure of making people obey with strength. There's no way you could do something like" poison a beverage ”to a petty artisan."

"Ro, Rosie!? What did you say to your grandfather?"

Yuri, shut up for a second.

Yuri shook her shoulders and shuddered her mouth as she told Albert to block it.

"Exactly. Looks like you've been studying hard."

"Yeah, so this drink..."

Hit the glass.

The high sound echoed in the large reception room.

It's not poisoned.

When he rang his throat, Albert nodded with satisfaction.
