When I first saw you, it was sympathy that boiled in my heart.

Oh - pathetically, I thought it was just pathetic that I suddenly had to come to another world where no one I knew like this.

My first impression of you was that it seemed a little unreliable.

There's no initiative, it's like you're flirting with the situation... so it felt like you'd given up before you acted somewhere.

You may not have noticed, but I've been watching you ever since you came into this world.

I could not accompany the boulder with the Pluto or the Death King or even inside the temple, otherwise I was always your escort when you walked.

Shadow - A hidden word used by the Knights to refer to those in the role of hiding and escorting the subject.

Lili shadowed each of you when you came to this world, and I was the one in charge of you.

The reason I was chosen is simple, because I have no aversion to men.

The Duke of Alberto family, not that Lili intended it that way...... at some point the atmosphere was like a ban on men, and many of the servants who had continued to work in it had feelings close to prejudice towards men.

It must have been a uncomfortable place for you, even though Lili was the first to restrain you.

I followed you as a shadow, and on my first day, I made a terrible mistake saying I would lose sight of you.

Lili told me she had no choice because her opponent is probably a high-ranking Demon... but not a topic that ends with no choice for me, and then she admonished herself to try to be more powerful with your escort, increasing before to keep an eye on your trends.

I think you started to change like that around the end of the New Year.

As if your possessions had fallen, you were passive about dealing with other people somewhere until then, and you became actively involved with various people.

I think the environment surrounding you has changed dramatically, although that may have been a minor change in the degree to which you greet someone you have never greeted before.

"Excuse me, Mr. Miyama. Even though you are a customer..."

"No, it's been two weeks since the boulder, and I'm just saying thanks for your help... I'll always be there to help."

He holds a cage with tons of laundry and walks down the hall alongside one of his maids.

It's been about two weeks since you've been here.

When you first arrived, the Duke of Alberto had three main types of servants.

Those like Lili and Luna who have embraced you happily, and those who have grown into the brave characters of the past to treat you as a national guest, therefore do not like the otherworlds very much.

And this is also to the detriment of the fact that many of the Duke of Alberto's servants have served Lili since she was a princess, but those who are biased because you are a man.

Taken together, it would not be an exaggeration to say that those who do not feel comfortable with you were nearly 80% of the total.

You may not have noticed. But the environment surrounding you has certainly changed dramatically.

Nearly half of those who were not comfortable with you at first have already changed their perception of you.

If you can look straight at an individual who says you are just an emotion originally born of a crappy bias, it may well be that the ratings change quickly.

Because you are a gentle person who is well perceived and looks very good smiling softly...

I kept seeing you like that, and I truly thought you were amazing.

You changed the surrounding environment with your actions, which was very dazzling and above all significant to me for not moving forward for fear of failure.

Acting to change the status quo myself...... it's easy to put it into words, but I think it's very difficult and hard to do that.

How could you be so strong? Isn't it terrifying to fail to make things worse than they are?

I overlapped with my current self and questioned it that way.

Fortunately, you spoke well to me without words and were friendly with me occasionally for tea.

Do you remember? On several occasions of tea, I asked you the questions I had…

"Of course, you're afraid of failure, aren't you? Until a little while ago, I was always thinking about risks and stuff, and I just couldn't do anything about it."

……

"Now, is it? Yeah, I had a slight change of heart...... just a little, really little, but now I can think positively. It's 'wasteful' to give up without trying, even though you might be able to do something about it if you try..."

……

"Oh, no, this is actually a take-away, too. But it made it a lot easier for me to be able to think of it that way, and it was a lot more painful until then. Let's try again, let's try harder, it seems like it now."

Your expression to say so was so sparkling... awesome and lovely.

Yeah, I'll confess. I have sincere respect for you, younger than myself.

Looking straight at you, you seem to get the courage to me… I feel kind of happy.

Is it from around here that your presence began to grow in me...

You know what?

Among those who did not feel comfortable with you before, there are many who have changed to reply with pleasure when they greet you...

As a matter of fact, by now, you have become quite a popular servant.

Have you noticed?

The environment surrounding you has changed, making the changes you are visiting...

The cook who harassed you once in a while started using only a few good ingredients for your dishes, and that there are always maids who want to make bets in your room...

In my opinion, there are quite a few people who are likely to have romantic feelings for you if there is a slight trigger.

You know what?

How big a presence you are in me...

When I felt you were in danger, I was so anxious that my heart was going to be torn apart.

Have you noticed?

The fact that I almost lost you changed my feelings towards you from respect to affection...

Perhaps you haven't noticed. You are very kind and nice, but you seem to have a troubled habit of underestimating yourself a little.

Saying you can't speak up and convey your thoughts is an inconvenient thing inside...... now, I think this is a good idea.

Now, I still don't have the courage to tell you clearly either.

So I'm really on my own...... I'm going to keep staring at you working hard and asking you to split your courage one by one.

And when I have the courage to take a step forward, I will convey this thought to you.

Trouble is, there seems to be a lot of competitors... if I'm going to borrow the words you've given me, it would be a waste to give up without trying.

So from now on, I'm going to try my best.

I admired you so that you could be a little closer...
