Cover your eyes with the new cloth handed to Victor and tie it behind your head.

... I definitely see the surroundings better than the previous one, it's beautiful, and the quality is good. And it doesn't stink. Rather smells good.

"You are normally trained as a soldier. Ask them to study further.... and my escort when there was some kind of expedition."

I unwittingly solidified myself to his suggestion.

It's too much for the best. I have to thank you. I can't believe I could even go on an expedition where I could train physically, study and learn more about this country...

Oh, God, thank you so much for giving me this chance. I can't thank you enough.

What a great condition.

"The soldiers aren't bad people either, but be prepared because a kid like you might be bullied at first because he thinks you're unmotivated."

I've never seen you on the bullying side. Bad girls are always bullies.

Victor stares at me with a frustrated face.

"You, are you listening to me?

"Yeah. I know exactly what you're worried about"

"Don't be angry with me about all that leeway."

There's no way you can afford it. Since I came to Lavar, I've been stuffed with cuts.

I don't know a single human being who knows, and I don't know anything about the terrain here, and furthermore, I don't know if it fits because Shizuku just read it in a book...

"With that said, what happened to that lion of yours? Is he still alive?

"Much better."

I can't tell you how my mouth ripped open when I let it magically heal completely and become even more powerful.

"Have you decided on a name yet?

"Rye."

When I said that, Victor blew it out.

I need you to tell me where there was an element of laughter in the current conversation. Is there just something wrong with my sense of laughter?

Seeing his smile for the first time makes me feel complicated.

"Why are you laughing?"

"'Cause you, it's Rye, right? So the next time you get a lion, you name it On. Are you two lions close?"

That's what Victor said, laughing at Kerakera.

Fool... they are, aren't they?

You're not cute, the name Rye. It's Rye from the rye field. Salinger should be convinced of the name I gave him, too.

"Don't be such an infidel. I laughed at you, Joy."

I was weakened by this one, wasn't I? I'm kind of shocked. I'm depressed by myself.

... I'm kind of annoyed that every prince is one better than me. Make sure Victor and Duke get over it.

"Oh, and stay away from the tallest tower in the royal palace."

"That's like saying get close to me."

Call me halfway. I realize Victor's intentions.

"I'm never going!

"Come on, I don't know"

That said, he raises the corner of his mouth.

If I told you never to get close, no doubt I knew I would get close to the tower, and he said so.

I'd love to go if they did say that. I want to go to hell.

... but if you go easy here, it's not what Victor thinks more and more.

Oh, I really, really don't like this guy anymore!
