After leaving the royal palace, I went back to the dorm, but once I went to Mr. Yelle's office.

Now you're gonna get firmly mad at me?

He walks with that in mind and enters the office.

Mr. Yelle sits in a chair and I stand in a good position before him.

"Good luck today. Was it tough?

"No, Crist...... the prince was also very strong and so much so that I didn't think I needed him when it came to combat"

He's been educated in brilliance since he was a little girl, so I guess it's only natural that strong.

Because he was educated, he also taught me in previous life. My strength is based on Christ.

"Really? One thing, I wanted to ask you a question and you got me here. Eric, you must be tired too, so you can answer right away."

I'm tired, or I'm just sleepy because I drank.

I'm still freaking out a bit.

"What is it?

I say that patiently wanting to rub my eyes.

"The man you were looking for, Christo, is definitely Prince Christopher Leo Begonia, right?

"-!"

I felt Gatsun beat up my sleepy, unworked brain.

Yes, Mr. Yelle was looking for the person I was looking for, Cristo.

I forgot with the joy of seeing Crist.

What can I say, honestly, yes?

But when I answer that, it tells me why I'm looking for a prince who's never even left the village.

But if I answer no, I'm going to have Mr. Yelle look for someone named Cristo who's already met Cristo, but not him.

"Wrong, isn't it?

Mr. Yelle asked, no, it feels like confirmation already.

"... Yes"

I got lost, but I still decided to be honest with you.

I can't take the trouble of lying and not needing someone who will continue to take care of me.

But what shall I answer?

I'm his best friend who broke up with him dead, because I can't say...

"Really? That's all I wanted to hear, so take a rest."

"What?"

Don't ask me anything. That's what they said, so I clapped it out a little.

"That's all I wanted to hear. It's not as wild as asking what you don't want to be asked."

"Mr. Yelle......! Thanks!

Good, really. If they'd asked me, I wouldn't have answered anything.

I'm glad he's a sweet guy, I think I found out why Mr. Yelle is fond of everyone in the Knights, even though he's faceless.

"Good luck today, Eric. Take your time off."

"Yes, thank you. Now if you'll excuse me."

I'll grace you and then get out of the office.

Ha, I got nervous and headached since they asked me that question, but don't get drowsy all at once when I get out of the room.

Maybe Elena is already asleep, so take a light shower so she doesn't wake up and go to bed right away.

And if I thought that I slept without even drinking water, did I wake up with such a headache?

Tina and Yulina worried me if I was pale in the dining room as well.

For breakfast today, Tina ate what she had cooked and the miso soup distributed in the dining room.

Elena says that miso soup also works pretty well for hangovers. Much appreciated information, so let me rely on it.

No heart or I feel much better since I woke up.

"Well Eric, I know it's hard, but good luck with your training!

"Whoa, Tina, good luck."

That's what I say, split up, and head to the training ground with Mr. Yulina and Mr. Elena.

I don't think there's exactly a Kristo escort today, so I usually have to work hard on my training and my job.

- Crist side -

"Look, what's up, Crist? Harder."

"Ha ha... damn!

A little garden in the royal palace in the morning, where I've always trained, I've been bummed out.

The opponent is Liberto. He's such a hella, but he's the most powerful man in the Knights to be vice president.

I've fought this guy many, dozens of times, but I don't feel like I can ever win.

Besides, I haven't been drinking today, so I don't see any gaps.

Well, drinking and flirting doesn't win at all.

There's a gap, but it's a gap that's made. I still can't tell the difference between the gap made and the real gap.

Speaking of which, Yele said, Eric beat this guy, didn't he?

I didn't really believe you were that strong even though you were the same age, but I don't think Yelle would lie.

"Hey, Liberto."

"Ah? What?

"You know what Eric Aulin is?

"Eric...... oh, that sweet one"

The kind one? I feel it's unusual for Libert to appreciate that.

"You rubbed my back and carried me to the infirmary when I threw up."

"Oh, did you throw up drunk? That sucks."

"And I threw up one more time when you were carrying me, and I hit you on the back"

"That's garbage."

I've thrown up during my training with me, but I'm tired of it, so don't get involved at all. I'll leave it to the others.

Don't seriously want to kill being thrown up when you were putting it on your back.

That's so sweet, Eric.

"You fought Eric, didn't you? Were you strong?

"Oh, he was strong. Oh, my God, how do you know about Eric?

"My escort was Eric in yesterday's hunt. Because my dad's my age."

"Yes, Mr. Leo is as appropriate as ever."

Riverto does my training well, so my father and I meet each other pretty well.

The right guys seem to be close to each other.

"I'm grateful to my father this time. Eric and I could be friends."

"Oh well. I'm glad you've never been a friend before, Botch."

Don't say "botch".

Well, I can't deny it.

I have been to various countries as a prince before and have been friendly with people like me, but I was concerned about the exploration of my belly and so on, without being able to deal with it easily because it is a social place.

But Eric is my first reciprocal friend.

A friend I really wanted from the bottom of my heart.

He seemed happy to cry over there for some reason. I think I'm happier than that.

"Will you bring him in when I'm training with you? Lieutenant, you can afford authority."

"I asked."

"Ooh... I really didn't think you'd ask me to. I was just kidding."

I only hunt once or twice a month. Every time I nominate him, I see him too infrequently.

If you're coming to train with Libert, you'll see him at least three times a week.

"Well, he's strong. I can't win right now."

To that word, my mind, which I was playing because I thought I would see Eric, cools at once.

"... does that mean you can win if you have a left arm?

Hella, she's laughing. Belt realizes how I've changed, and she looks serious.

"That's not what I meant. He's strong enough that you really don't know if you can win even with your left arm"

……

"So you're still dragging that on."

Make sure you stroke my head gritty, and then Libert puts the knife on his hips.

"Today's training is over. Tomorrow I'll bring him with me."

"... oh, I asked"

"That's right, why don't we just take Eric to the array we'll have in a month? Mr. Leo would forgive me."

"Oh, I'll tell my dad. Maybe he'll say yes."

And Liberto left the garden.

As I stand, Alisa approaches me.

"Good day, Crist. Towels."

"Thanks"

Receive the towel and wipe the sweat. A towel that is fairly cold with water is pleasant.

"Christ, I don't think you should care about that anymore. For you and for Master Liberto."

"... I know"

I enter the royal palace from the garden while keeping my face invisible from Alisa with a towel.

I'm not stupid enough to forget that event, Alisa.
