"I see you've made such a scene with the Widare guy"
"Yeah. Honestly, that kid stands on his arm, but sometimes he does things that don't even clap strangely, so I can't even lose my mind as a boss"
The voices of Ray and Angela echo inside the cabin prepared by Frizione.
They say we just met today for the first time, but we both wonder if we agree on each other's opinions.
Ray is in his mid-teens and Angela is in his mid-twenties.
If you do it badly, you're almost ten years old and you're far from your age.
If it's normal, if it's so far apart in age, something somewhere far-fetched emerges.
But Ray and Angela didn't feel that reluctant about each of them.
Regardless of Ray, who originally rarely shy away from others, it's a strange feeling if you try Angela, who has grown up as a countess.
It is recommended that the sandwich I have prepared for Ray be eaten by myself because it is boring, and Angela leans her neck inside while carrying it to her mouth.
There's too much silly talk that Frizione, his own lord, was talking about behind his brain, but he immediately denies it.
(I can't believe I have such a fondness for younger opponents...... no, I have a fondness, but that's not for men and women, it's friendship stuff, so there won't be a problem)
Subtle confusion inside.
In fact, so far I've been disgusted with men...... but I felt somewhere hard to get close to.
That's why I joined the White Rose Knights, which consists solely of women.
You don't have to stand up to Ray for some reason.
(It doesn't mean anything in particular has changed... No, is it a matter of appearance?
Angela's gaze is directed towards that face as she exchanges words with Ray.
With the hood of the robe down, I could see Ray's face clearly now.
Woman face. As a man there is no wonder you describe it that way, you have a neat face, and even in a state of wearing a robe, some people will sometimes look like a girl.
That's to the point where wearing women's clothes doesn't make you uncomfortable.
(Oh, but I don't think so. Sure looks like a girl, but whatever you think of the trick, it belongs to a man)
I was born on a face like this, so I guess I really needed to make the trick look like a man, I don't know Ray's past, but therefore in Angela, Ray's childhood story was created.
I guess I wondered how Angela was doing like that. Ray opens his mouth while boiled pork is hung with sweet and sour fruit sauce and eating other sandwiches sandwiched with shaky leafy vegetables.
"What's up, suddenly? Do you even think about it?
"... yeah, well. Because I've already thought about it a lot. Especially a suggestion from His Highness Merclio."
"Oh, my God."
Angela understands why she's talking to Ray and staying natural.
(Well, Lord Ray doesn't think anything of nobility.)
Angela won the seat of head of the White Rose Knights with strength, while being the daughter of Count Luxinois.
So while I'm at it, it's not like I'm pretty enough to attract people and not stop, like Vihera, but I definitely have a face above average.
The marriageable age as a nobleman has already passed, but it gives to those who, on the contrary, see moist femininity.
For a family member, the Count is not so much a superior nobleman, but he had quite a lot of influence among the 1st Imperial Party.
Seeing all of them, a person named Angela was quite attractive to an aristocratic man.
So many have come to Angela so far, and I have been confessed the other day by our next baroness that I want her to go out with me on the assumption of marriage.
But...
(All the people who come to confess to me have some kind of lower heart behind their eyes)
The bottom line is that you want to have a connection with the Counts, it's about your status as head of the White Rose Knights, and your desire to make a woman named Angela your own more directly.
Even for Angela, of course, she does not believe that pure romantic sentiment will be valued in marriages between nobles.
(Still... it's not weird that you want me to at least hide my lower heart to the point where it's not obvious)
If the Count of Luxinois is financially destitute, I am not going to say no to a political marriage to help the house.
But Angela's father, who is the Lord of the Count of Luxinois, and the brother of the next Lord, are more competent than that, and that means that the Count of Luxinois is in no way in trouble.
No, I know you have some fine problems, but it wasn't until Angela thought of a political marriage.
Compared to the lowly men who come to me like that, it seems completely different, even though I know Ray is the same man who is now eating a sandwich in front of Angela looking delicious.
I don't think anything of nobility. It is easy to say by mouth, but how many can truthfully carry it out?
With that in mind, being in front of Angela was definitely a rarity.
(What a shame to think that there is already a Vihella, as His Highness Frizione said)
A pale favor I learned for a moment during my conversation with Ray...... something I can't call very much love, but I decide to forget it right away, even though I am aware of thoughts that might have changed if I stayed big any day.
"Nevertheless, don't you think I was unscrupulous enough not to even disguise myself and head straight to the Imperial City?
I ask as I reach for the water I got out of Ray's running water dagger.
When I first drank it, I was surprised by its deliciousness, which I didn't even think was water, but now I could even afford to calm down and taste its water slowly.
"This robe has a cover-up effect. Unless you're a sharp wizard, you won't be able to find it."
"... well, I've actually come this far without finding it, so I guess I can trust that area"
As I nodded at Angela's words, past Ray's brain was Kabazid's face, which I met just before entering the castle.
Maybe they found out who they were. I agree, but it is also true that nothing has happened before.
"Lord Ray? What's wrong with you?
"No, it's nothing.... So, what's going on with the upcoming appointments? The parent book that Widare gave you, it said something about a request from Merclio, right?
It's fun talking like this, but then we won't be talking forever.
That's what Ray said when he asked, but what came back was Angela's face with an ambiguous grin.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not authorized to answer the question. However, I think His Royal Highness Frizione will be coming to this cabin by the end of the day, so could you listen to me then?
"... I don't even think I need to get that far. You said you wanted to join us in the first place, didn't you? Didn't you expect that much more than that?
It was Ray's words that decided that Angela's reluctance to reply so much would still affect Merclio's subordination, but it's still an ambiguous grin to come back.
Whatever you say, the person in front of you won't divulge any information about this one. Having so decided, Ray takes a small sigh and carries the last sandwich to his mouth.
Because I decided it was useless to say anything more.
From there, we go back to normal public discourse and talk about a range that we don't mind talking to each other.
What Angela wanted to know, for example, was about Griffon's ecology.
Attendance by submissive demons was forbidden at martial arts competitions, and Seto himself rarely left the stables of the long empty pavilion while martial arts competitions were open.
Still, Ray's use of Griffon as his obedience has spread more than enough from the alias Deep Red and the Spring War.
"Seto... right. You sound like a nostalgic dog."
"... Griffon, isn't it? So you're not a cat if you say one thing or the other?
"I do have a cat habit as well because my lower body is a lion, but overall it's close to dogs that I'm nostalgic for. That's a puppy, too."
As Angela, who was described as a puppy with a griffon over two m in length, I can't easily believe the area.
Naturally. When it comes to griffons, they exist in Rank A monsters as much as they say they are Reapers of the Great Sky.
It was Angela with incredible eyes somewhere, but Ray says nothing about it, knowing it.
Because I've been seen with the same eyes several times before.
I understood that even if Ray explained the matter with his mouth, it would not be easy for him to believe it.
Hundreds of hearings are only at first sight. And Hundred Sees is only one touch.
Seto isn't loved by Dada all over the guild, and he doesn't make enthusiastic fans in the first place he goes.
Some of the rebels are joining the guerrillas against Seto, and even if seen by the rebels themselves, more and more people are loving Seto.
Especially when they are popular with the prostitutes, they also get food from prostitutes who don't often work when they are moving around the position.
... Most of all, Ray himself was completely unaware, but many of the whores are looking to get closer to Ray through Seto.
Naturally. I can't usually see everything on my face because I'm lowering my hood, but I'm pretty sure Ray's face is neat enough to say she's a woman face.
And he has an alias in his mid-teens and is just as powerful as he is regarded as the insurgent's greatest power.
In case hundreds of millions of dollars can get Ray to do anything... and give me a hand, I can say that's a big reversal of life.
But unfortunately, Ray himself did not understand at all that he was being appealed to.
What Ray was feeling was that he was happy too that Seto was adored.
Of course, I had trouble finding a place for my eyes when I saw a costume that attracted the inferiority of a man like the prostitutes wore.
"Seto also likes to take a nap or something. Spring sunshine, summer shade, under the soft autumn sun. I sleep a lot in a place like that. Then I lean on Seto's body and fall asleep."
If it was meant to be, Seto has a fine body without having to sleep at all for some time.
But Seto himself preferred a nap, and I could say that taking a nap, especially with Ray, was a blissful moment for Seto.
"Seto's body is soft, feathers and hair are silky smooth to the touch, perfect for sleeping."
"Heh. I'm a little interested in getting a good night's sleep."
Having a conversation about Seto that way, eventually the topic shifts and Ray asks Angela what her aristocratic life is like.
Speaking of aristocracy, which Ray is close to, Dasker to Elaine. And something like Ara.
I don't know much about being a regular nobleman because everyone is a nobleman who is hard to say they are all normal.
(In the case of Vihela, he's royal... and nobles in rebel positions can't be guessed because it's an emergency)
Angela smiles small and bitter at Ray, who remembers the faces of nobles, beginning with Vihera, who passed behind her brain.
"Too bad, because in my case it's different from all kinds of common aristocracy..."
Ray also agrees with Angela, who tells her that the general nobility of the White Rose Knights is impossible.
"It's just... right. You think my brother is a common nobleman?
"Brother?"
"Yeah, I think it's close to the nobility Ray is talking about because he's the next head of the Count Luxinois family"
At some point, Angela's explanation continues as she also fails to realize that she calls herself Ray, not Lord Ray, and the tone becomes frank.
"Wake up at a set time, finish the day as planned, and sleep at a set time. If I tell you, that's all I got, but if I'm a little off schedule, someone's gonna have to take responsibility. … some people say it's tough, but instead, you don't have to worry about being hungry."
"... Wow"
As for Ray's honest feelings, he's right. Wow...
Ray doesn't like to be tied up. If I were to become a nobleman, I wasn't very sure I could do it, though.
For the most part, this is only the case with the Earl of Luxinois.
There are many more free family-style houses in the aristocracy, and others are unattended and behave as they please.
"Pfft, I knew it. I didn't think Ray would look good in noble life."
Angela looks disgusted Ray in the face and squeals with a grin.
This is how we spent time talking to each other and killing time before someone approached the cabin.
