Otoko Nara Ikkokuichijou no Aruji o Mezasa Nakya, ne?

October 11, 7451

Late-night talks between Primrose and Rockwise were still ongoing.

……

Rockwise is stuck in silence with my words.

In addition, I feel somehow uncomfortable with me because I'm still staring at my face as much as the hole is empty, but I'm the one who is waiting for a reply with questions.

Well, okay.

"Do you know anything about it?"

Or am I missing something?

Andersen... or was there a message coming from her surroundings, including this one?

... I don't know.

"The Duchess...... is......"

Huh?

Did you get the idea to tell me something?

"It's getting weird... isn't it?"

"Did I just say that?"

"Yeah, yeah, well... that's true..."

It's a kind of uncooked attitude.

At the same time, my gaze has not changed to see through my heart.

I'm guessing this has been observed.

And without trying to hide it, it was dignified.

Beauty like her makes you look so good.

But now, the Sperm (Elves) are beautiful men and beautiful women, but I can see that the pure-blooded Elves are somewhat different from the Puppets (Hume).

The look of the face is too perfect, and it feels like you're making something up.

In that regard, Mizuchi and Tris are certainly not as beautiful as pure-blooded elves, but there are still a lot of subtle left-right asymmetries and Asian-like parts, so I feel that they can be friendly.

I know how each person feels, but I think Mizuchi and Tris' faces are more popular than pure-blooded Elves when viewed from a race that is not an Elf.

"That's right..."

It's true that you were pulled out and joined the Black Topaz after the Seven-Layer Incident.

"Yes, I am."

It was five years ago to go back to the present.

When the killer (Slaughter's) I led went to the eight or nine layers and said "buoy buoy."

If they were late, the impatient Black Topaz and the Green Corps (Verdegli Brotherhood) joined hands and embarked on seven layers of exploration.

Then, I happened to get hurt in the labyrinth, and Black Topaz failed to retreat.

Not only the injured person, but also the members suffered several casualties and were on the verge of destruction.

Worried about their late return, Vilheimer, the leader of the then Green Corps (Verdegli Brotherhood), asked us to rescue him, and we rescued him from the brink.

So, the black topaz with the reduced strength scouted her around the beginning of the following year...?

In other words, it has been more than four years since this Rockwise joined Black Topaz - nearly five years.

After all that time, you won't be a newcomer, and you can see that you have a trusting relationship with your old members.

But...

"Didn't you just say that it was three to four years ago that the Duchess of Andersen saw a change?" It makes sense to say that there was no unnatural point before that. "

Huh. Well, that's right.

"Do you remember when you first thought about it?"

"Well, that's... I'm sure..."

Rockwise put her hand on her chin and began to think.

Don't neglect the perimeter surveillance.

I couldn't help it, so I flew my gaze around and used even life-sensing (Detect Life) magic.

There is no abnormality.

"Oh, it was around the time you were publicly announced that you had defeated the giant Wyvern... no, since Kirk passed away...?" But when it was hot that year... it was summer, wasn't it? "

Oh... well, about four years ago.

Was Wyvern officially involved in anything else back then?

After Kirk died... when Andersen and Vilheimer were practicing in the labyrinth with some of the king's bastards.

Attacked by vampires, the Black Topaz lost a real and powerful subleader named Kirk Dunkel, and the Green Corps lost its leader and powerful shield (shield holder).

"At that time, I went to the rescue at Andersen's request..."

Even if you're involved, it's just like that...

Inside the labyrinth... I broke up with Andersen in four layers, and to be honest, I don't have much of an impression.

Jill, the berth that acted together until the inside of the terminal in the example, has left an impression.

Indeed, back then, the Duchess started buying clothes and perfumes saying, 'I haven't thrown them away yet'.

That said, Rockwise looked at me like she was watching me again.

I was not even interested in what her mother was like, and I have no idea who she was, but it's hard to imagine that the king (old man) would have been able to put his hands on her before marriage, and would have been proud of her beauty.

It wasn't as beautiful as the pure-blooded elves, but the other bastards were also quite beautiful as fumes, and Andersen himself was definitely beautiful.

Beauty is beautiful, no matter how old you are.

Certainly, it will still take a long time to become a discarded appearance.

Because it is now, it should have been quite popular when I was a young man in the Knights.

Besides, even people in their 50s and 60s have a beautiful way of taking a sigh.

Even before my reincarnation, there were such people in Japan.

Well, all I know is actresses.

It was quite a while ago... but I had the experience of holding my breath when I saw an actress who was still in her 50s at some kind of symposium venue when I was 30.

Since I was a very famous actress since I was young, I also knew my face and name, and I had seen some representative productions, but the fact that I ran into a rental video shop that day was new to my memory... I don't know, but it was very impressive, so I remember it very well.

Although the beauty direction is different, Andersen has a place to go to her, and she may have noticed it herself.

People may rate it as overconfidence or arrogance, but the facts are true, and no matter what they think internally, unless they take a nasal attitude toward others, they will not be able to denounce it.

But you're beginning to refurbish your clothes and use perfume... do you mean change?

You haven't grasped my intention to change?

Inwardly, while thinking, "Are you stupid, this guy?", he expresses his thoughts while consciously avoiding expressing them.

"No, what I'm saying is that" the lady has a strange attitude and behavior towards me "....."

It doesn't matter if you start using it fashionably or if you're a puberty kid.

……

I felt that a slightly different color had been added to Rockwise's eyes to my words.

... if I say it hard, I wonder if it's confusing?

That's how I feel.

Isn't this supposed to be a conversation?

It doesn't have to be the answer I want, but I want you to do what I want on the subject.

I'm not a direct minister, but at least now that I'm a member of the Slaughter (Slaughter), I want you to obey what the leader says.

"Yes, that's why..."

Because I don't know what to do.

……

I'll stare back at you with no expression.

"Um... the Duchess..."

……

Oh, my God.

Say it quickly.

I struggled not to show even the irritating fragments.

"Even after being sealed off by Dasmorg, I've been piercing my own life..."

Huh?

I know it's been a drought since the adventurer days.

I've been on Balduk's top team, skinny and withered, and I'm a celebrity.

But right now, what does that have to do with anything?

I don't think I can hide my irritability from the boulders.

But you're a child of patience.

"But that's also the thought person..."

“How's it going?

A word that I never thought of would be taken for a moment.

Probably got a really stupid face.

Your Lordship didn't notice, did he?

……

It's unexpected.

I mean, to sum up what Rockwise is saying...

... are you kidding me?

But...... Damn, if you're aiming for status and money, can you think about it enough?

You think you can't do it yourself, just because you didn't hit the wrong sisters who are so young and beautiful.

At the same time, the conversation with Mi Mile, which was the product of a compromise, has not officially flowed, but since Mi Mi Mi has transformed like an undead in a state that is close to indefinite postponement, I do not intend to marry Rock either.

Do you want to sit in the cauldron after her?

No... even if I were, I'd never been seduced by Andersen, and I'd never even been shown a sliver of that kind of language or attitude.

It may have happened, but I can't remember at all.

First, I was suspicious of Andersen's attitude... right after I was ordered to kill the Blue Dragon, if not my memory.

At that time, not only Mimiru, but also three molesters, including her, had just told me to choose an opponent. Indeed, Andersen, who heard it from me, didn't say anything bad, so I told her to leave Mimiru, her youngest daughter.

In other words, it wasn't about the aftermath of Mi Mile.

"Um... perhaps not many direct ministers of the Duchess have noticed it."

……

Well, I guess so.

Whether a man or a woman is the head of a noble family, the choice of spouse needs to be very careful.

Well, maybe it's best to marry someone you like, but there's no such thing as a nobleman who decides on his first spouse just because he's in love and swollen.

"I didn't speak properly, so I predicted it, but maybe I'm the only one who noticed anything other than Mr. Roll."

"... are you a woman, too, Nobufom?"

"It's a shallow day after joining the Rock, and even after she came to Dasmorg, she was sent there by order of Her Lordship for a while...... since the interaction with Her Majesty is also shallow, it's unlikely that she will notice any change."

Then, the bastard goes up to the scruffy adventurer and the military.

You didn't think of a real reason for my changing attitude and high loyalty to me?

……

It felt like there was an ambush at an unexpected place.

"No, well, I don't feel that way in the first place, even though I'm more than 10 years apart..."

However, it seems that I have been poisoned and I don't want to talk about this anymore.

"My lord...?"

What am I supposed to say to the Rockwise call?

……

I removed my gaze from Rockwise.

"What kind of eyes is she looking at me with right now..."

I don't care about that at the earliest.

"That... report to the turbulent wave..."

"I didn't do it, and I didn't confirm it, so there's no way I can do it."

... that's right.

"I'm sorry. It's a bit... unexpected..."

"I think so." but.... "

Oh, yeah.

Please don't leave me alone until it's too late. If you're going to make a mistake, please do it soon.

What a place.

There's no way I can say such a line from her standpoint.

I wonder what it is.

It's hard for a man with a head, and he doesn't even joke about it.

First of all, I don't even give you such an attitude, do I even make you feel kind...? Well, it doesn't feel like a romantic favor, but... how can you meddle in such a state quickly?

To put it mildly, if you want me to deny my feelings, you're a self-conscious, painful guy.

Well, if that's all right, I'll just be a laughingstock... so it's not good...

But if you open it up again and the public tells you, you can't even put your eyes on it.

In a way, it's harder than Ralpha who finally confessed to herself because of her status and position as the official nobleman of the Duchess.



……

On the street stretching to Ram York, I couldn't think of anything.

I think about Andersen, but I have no choice but to respond to her feelings.

But even if you put it on your sleeve, you can't shake it anymore than she can either confess her feelings to me or show me her attitude.

And there is no way to deny that there is a hidden favor if it involves political things.

However, it is not good that she will stay single forever, even if she is my direct minister and my position as the Duchess.

She's 35 years old already, and if she's going to have a baby... it's better to be really early.

Not to mention the fact that it's my first birth.

Then all I can do is introduce her to a spouse who is worthy of her.

When I introduce her to a potential spouse, I'm convinced she doesn't want to get mixed up with me.

At the same time, they also encourage awareness of the need to earn children to succeed them.

I have thought about it, but I am not convinced.

Because if Andersen only has the same amount of diapers as Ralpha, I don't know, and no matter how I think about it, there is no structure of the brain that doesn't understand that degree.

I've been in conversation with Andersen many times, and I've seen the battle commander.

I'm not someone who doesn't understand that kind of truth.

Does that mean you're not convinced of everything?

What do you mean you're not convinced?

"Knowing that my hopes for something to do with me will not be fulfilled, I'm going to put some motion on it..."

"No, if I care about that, I'll be a bastard..."

Then let her hope be fulfilled to a certain extent, while being calm... "

If she is not a housekeeper, she may be an ant, but she is a housekeeper and she has never heard of having a babies.

First, the appearance is too bad.

Besides, if she gave birth to a child, she wouldn't be able to keep quiet about the other person's information until she became the King.

If that happens, you'll know what to say and what to do with it.

Somehow the King's blood is drawn, and since I am a bastard, I can't even think of replacing it with a mile, but since it is not a public bastard, it is too impossible.

It might be said that it would be okay if the relationship between Andersen and the King was made public, but what would the First Lady think of the Second Lady and the Third Lady and the Fourth Lady anyway?

"Not to say bastard in the first place, but now the first child comes out..."

Besides, I was a bastard before I got married.

And the firstborn shall bear a illegitimate child.

There's no way I can make that public.

That's why letting her give birth without making a public announcement is going to cause political damage to me until she serves as a direct minister.

The point is, "That Marquis Greedo is just an idiot who can't control his own crotch, or even his camouflage father is an incompetent bastard who neglected to prepare himself."

No, well, if it's that much, then I'll have to put up with it... why should I?

If such rumors are made in the first place, my territory, the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce will be damaged, and the number of immigrants will be reduced.

There must be people everywhere who want to believe it, not people who can believe the rumors.

And there's no reason Andersen couldn't think of that.

"Hey Meme, what happened with Lord Greedo?"

Roll is asking Rockwise, who was watching with me last night.

"No... especially..."

Rockwise is cheating on the poker face without telling me what she's talking about.

My head has been a majestic one since before. [M]

In addition, in some ways, there are parts similar to the situation with Ralpha, so it is undeniable that this thought is not in vain at all, and it is an excuse to keep thinking about it.

Well, the decisive difference with Ralpha is that Ralpha is still better than me, even if I confess properly, and that doesn't help anything as long as I have a relationship with Andersen.

I thought, "Your Majesty, I'd like to introduce you to the spouse of Lord Andersen."

"For an ingenious person, it would be too much of a win for me to introduce a spouse who would be proportionate to your Majesty's first child, Duchess Andersen." Please...... "If you crawl around and beg......

All I could think of was a future that would be ridiculed for the rest of my life, so I gave up that path.

Pretend you don't know anything anymore and say, "It's a good year, so get married and have children." This is an order. "

But the nobility, the nobility, and the common people want everyone to live a good life that they envy, and they've said big things, and they've even ordered you to be courageous.

Since it was already troublesome, Ralpha and Andersen married as my Second Lady and Third Lady respectively, and I thought about whether I should inherit the House of Baron Firefried and the House of Duchess Andersen.

But that would be unpleasant for Mizuchi.

It is not a marriage that is absolutely necessary politically.

If it is politically necessary, Mizuchi will accept it.

If I have the same kind of affection for them as Mizuchi in the first place, that's another story.

But if you ask me, it's not.

Why do we have to give them what they want, until they hate Mizuchi?

I don't think so.

Oh, shit.

Speaking of which, Viscount Eckles Bartolim, son of Count Bartolim in the upcoming Lamb York, is a smart man.

Indeed, I lost my wife a while ago, and now I'm 30 years old... 30 years old.

It is the same fume, and the age, family status, and appearance are proportionate.

And the Count of Bartolim had other children... so the Count should take over.

Well, Mr. Eckles will no longer succeed the Count's family, but the Bartolims are political nobles who do not originally have a formal territory, and the Viscount accompanying them may be better.

Andersen, from my point of view, has a volume that doesn't fit in the city of Dasmorg, so if you've got it all figured out, you can take over the territory.

Even if you don't tell me what to do, it won't be a problem if Mr. Eckles is more concerned about it.

Besides, Mr. Eckles looks pretty good, and Andersen might like it.

When that happened, I suddenly felt like rushing ahead.
