Legend

The moment he saw the person who appeared in front of him, Ray held his breath unconsciously.

That's all, the sight that was spreading in front of me was amazing.

In words alone, it's just to say that Elaine is wearing a party dress.

If it's normal, party dresses are rarely seen, so it's not surprising that consciousness has been directed at seeing party dresses.

But fortunately - or unfortunately - Ray knows the existence of a marina who usually wears a party dress.

That's not a regular party dress either, but a gorgeous yet very luscious party dress with a wide open chest and back.

Even though Marina, who isolates others in terms of women's luster, wears such party dresses, so naturally, the men around her are often blinded to you.

And as for Ray partying with the marina, he often dealt with such marinas, naturally.

But... even for Ray like that, I'm blinded by Elaine's party dress in front of me.

"Well... what do you say? It's a different outfit, so don't lighten it up a bit."

That being said, Elaine scratches up her golden hair gently.

Watching Elaine like that, all Ray could do was... open his mouth just one word.

"Oh, you look great"

It's something that comes as a compliment, not very much, but not enough as a compliment to Elaine.

But still... if I tried Elaine, I couldn't be happier because she praised me from the person I wanted the most.

"Right.... well."

Elaine whines in a smudged tone, then looks at Ray and opens her mouth.

"Well, Ray looks great in his outfit, too. I can't believe I made it in such a hurry."

"... something like that? Personally, I don't really like these outfits."

If you try Elaine, as far as Ray is concerned, you don't know why she hates her current outfit so far.

Nevertheless, I needed more patience in that outfit than I needed to attend today's party.

"I'm sorry, but I need you to be patient with those clothes today"

"Oh, I know. In the meantime, I need clothes to stay next to Elaine and not be ridiculed."

"... um"

Elaine's cheeks turn thin and red on those words that came out of Ray's mouth abruptly.

Elaine said she wanted to be next to herself.

I know. I know... but still, I couldn't do it without lighting it up.

Because even with the alias General Princess and feared by the surrounding countries, it doesn't change that Elaine is a maiden.

"Dear Elaine, Elaine. Please hold on!

Ara, who had refrained nearby from returning Elaine, who was also called Maiden Mode, manages to return it to me.

Most of all, Ara, who is on Elaine's side like that, is also dressed in a party dress, unlike usual.

Arla is usually in the position of escort of Elaine, but that Arla is actually out of the aristocracy as well.

Unlike Ray, naturally, I'm also used to wearing party dresses, and if the viewer sees them, it's definitely not strange to be blinded.

... I'm on Elaine's side right now, so people's eyes can be turned on Elaine, not Arla.

However, Ara does not resent or imitate Elaine in the matter.

Ningro, I was even happy to be on Elaine's side like that.

"Yeah? Oh, I'm sorry. It's okay."

Elaine, who returned to me in Ara's voice, immediately returns the words.

"So, Ray. Are you ready for the party now?

"No, I had nothing to do with it."

Miranda had taught me exactly about the nobles to watch out for, but there was less to be done overwhelmingly than the Dukes of Keller, like Elaine.

"Really? I've been busy. A lot of people come to see me, and most importantly, I have time for this change."

Elaine looked just a little tired, but actually wearing that makeup, hairstyle, party dress...... it takes a lot of time to do all sorts of things.

In Ray's case, the makeup was lightly applied, but that was only so that the lights in the party venue could be seen, not so firm.

In contrast to such a ray, Elaine's is well made up.

... Still, Elaine is wearing makeup, not makeup. In other words, it is not used for makeup, but is used for makeup. Ray got that impression.

In fact, apart from wearing a party dress, Elaine's beauty was definitely one step up by makeup.

Elaine, often called the goddess of beauty from time to time, but now she has more beauty than that.

Ray, who could see Elaine like that, definitely has the feeling that he was lucky.

I hate to wear makeup myself, but I'm pretty sure people are... especially glad to see Elaine wearing makeup.

I'm glad to see Elaine now.

……

To Ray's words, Elaine's movements stop again.

But now she gave it back to me before Ara said anything.

"Oh well. I'm glad Ray's happy, and so am I.... If I could, I'd just like to talk a little more..."

Elaine's gaze is directed at Ara, but Ara, whose gaze is pointed, shakes her neck to the side.

"Unfortunately, Lady Elaine still has a lot to do. You don't have a lot of rest time left."

"Yes, it is."

"Uh... well, that can't be helped. At the time we're talking, I know you're making a lot of time out of it."

With that said, Ray gives a slightly unfortunate look.

Until the party really starts, it's only a few hours away.

If this was the normal outfit Ray would be wearing his usual dragon robe, Ray would never have had time to go this far either.

That's why I can imitate things like going out to play outside the mansion for a bit.

But in a situation where you're wearing makeup and a suit made to order for a party, there's no way you can imitate that.

If you imitated things like going to see Seto in this situation... and so on, that was likely to get your clothes so dirty that it was impossible to attend the party.

Mock fights with the Knights of the Dukes of Kelp, etc., would be outside of that.... Most of all, today, said to be the busiest day of the year, as a matter of course, the Knights of the Dukes of Kelp would also be busy with jobs such as security and escorts, and even if Ray looked like the usual dragon robe, none of them would have been able to do a mock fight.

Either way, I'm breaking up with Elaine that I'm going to be busy, and now I promise I'll be here before the party starts, and I'm leaving the room.

It should be noted that Ray will visit this room again before the party because Ray will work as Elaine's so-called escort, not in the sense that she will be free, like this one.

It's not about Elaine's discretion, it's about getting proper permission from Liberté and Arcadia.

I guess it is Liberté's purpose that Ray escorts Elaine to let the other nobles know exactly what the relationship is between Ray and Elaine.

As for Ray, I don't really like being such a spectacle, but not until Elaine stops being told by other guys... but if they still tell me it's going to be a lot less, I'll have to take it on.

Not to mention one of the mock fights and Seto's in terms of spectacles, and Ray is used to it.

In that sense, Ray had no reason not to take on the role of Escort of Elaine.

"Well, then what do you do to kill time?... Anything?

Leaving the room, Ray asked, Miranda.

Miranda, waiting for Ray in front of the room, opens her tease with a little thought.

"Right. There's a library in this mansion, and why don't you go there? There are quite a few books to keep, so I don't think Mr. Ray will get bored either. I don't have to worry about getting dirty."

"Is the library in the mansion?... That's amazing."

In fact, given the price of books in this world called Elgin, it is quite a luxury to have a library co-located in the mansion.

With the title Duke, it will be able to do so because it is a Kelevel Duke family with a second city in the kingdom called Anesis.

At least not as big as calling it a library, even if there was a place in Dusker's mansion in Gilm to call it a study.

"Yes, my husband is also actively collecting books, so it would be inferior to the library that it is in Wang Du, but it still looks promising."

"Right, then..."

Let's go to the library.

That's right. When Ray tries to say it, he can inadvertently call.

"Whoa, isn't that Ray? If you didn't think I was here, you'd be here."

The bearer of that voice was not a word that seemed a little impossible to call aristocracy... but it was definitely aristocracy and Ray's facial acquaintance as well.

"Blue It"

Ray calls the man by his name... but his voice was subtly mixed with questions such as whether the person in front of him was Blueit.

Bruit Exolis.

He is the next owner of the Count Exolis family and has a rare personality that both Ray and I feel comfortable with.

... In the first place, what about being a nobleman when it comes to walking around the city without one of the escorts?

I lost track of such a person, even for a moment, whether Ray was really Bluitt or not, because he clearly looked different from Bluitt when I met him before.

When Ray saw it, he was wearing clothes slightly superior to the average person, or the average person, but they were still not the kind of clothes that nobles would wear.

I recognized the person wearing such clothes as being a blue-it, but now showing up in front of Ray, the blue-it makes that giant the outfit it deserves for the upcoming party, and the hair is neatly done.

Obviously it wasn't like the blue-it Ray knew, so it would be more impossible to look at it and instantly recognize it as a blue-it.

Most importantly, if you say so, Ray also wears different clothes and hair styles.

"Hmm? What's up, look strange. No way, you forgot about me, didn't you? No, I was calling you by your name, so don't you have one?"

From the surprised look on Ray's face, I guess he had some doubts. Bruit asks Ray, but decides that he didn't immediately forget himself because he called his name.

To such a bluish it, Ray immediately turned his surprise away and turned to a slightly dazed caged gaze.

"I don't think you and the kind of guy I see all over the city who thinks Bruit is the same person right now... maybe not so much. At least, I didn't know for a second."

"Come on, if that means you're changing your appearance, then that's what Ray's like, isn't it? Why would I have to be the only one to say that?

I'm complaining, but the color is stronger for the look on Bruit's face that makes it interesting.

It was obvious that I wasn't blaming Ray.

Ray knows that, too. Continue the words with a grin.

"I have little experience in places like this, that's fine."

"Still, I was hoping you'd understand who I was."

"Don't be impotent, impotent.... So?

So? I gave it back because when Bruit showed up, he was saying words like he was looking for a place like this.

I was wondering if maybe you had something to do and were looking for me.

"Hmm? Oh, no. It's not like I had anything to do with it. I was just looking for someone I know because I was a little bored in this place. So, I heard rumors that Ray was going to this party, too, so I thought maybe he was here."

"... you don't have to bother looking for me, if it's Bruit, don't you know the face of nobility?

To Ray's words asking so, Bluitt softly strays his gaze.

I know as a matter of course that I was originally out of common sense as a nobleman.

That's why there aren't a lot of people who like to hang out with themselves like that... and as a result, it was just the people who were looking for rights that came close to Bruit.
