"What does that mean?

Claudia asked Olivia before Ashton's mouth opened showing upset.

"Whatever it means. Whatever it means..."

Olivia says, staring at this one with a bewildered look.

"What it means as it is is is that, I mean..."

Ashton's face, which he stole, is red enough to tell clearly. to Claudia, who feels something springing up in her heart,

"Of course, Claudia matters."

And Olivia confessed.

"Um, me too?

"Yeah."

Olivia raises her name one after the other, including Paul, Otto, Gauss, Gile, Ellis, and Evansin, while Claudia is shuddering.

Claudia stroked down her ho.

(─ hmm? What am I upset about? Where His Excellency took care of Ashton. Isn't there something else wrong?

Claudia flushes her gaze sideways, wondering about her emotions. Ashton was staring at Olivia with an unspeakable look.

Claudia asks Olivia again what the word means.

"Are you sure that means you're lost because you have important people?

Olivia nods cocklessly.

(Your Excellency thought it was important to us...)

Olivia's impression was never preferable when we started meeting. I guess it's partly because I grew up in a special environment, but I didn't really feel human. Though we still see that trend on every end of the word, it shows dramatic changes when compared to the beginning.

I was just glad Olivia thought she was important to me like that. Claudia therefore makes one decision.

"As Your Excellency's deputy, I just have to do everything in my power to stop you... but I still don't dispute your decision"

"Are you sure Lieutenant Colonel Claudia is okay with that?

Claudia nodded loudly to Ashton, who openly threw an eye of condemnation at her.

"That's fine."

"But I... I..."

Ashton trembles his fist. Ashton is longer than he is from dating. I know it hurts not to be so easy to convince you,

"If you're a man at one end of the spectrum, smile and drop him off."

Olivia has contributed enough to the Royal Army so far. Claudia tells herself if that's okay.

"That being said, who leads the newly established Eighth Army?

"It's..."

Regardless of the recruits, the ancient conscripts since the Independent Cavalry Regiment strongly admire Olivia. It is the nature of the person that is attracted to strength, and, not least, the strength of Olivia, who has strayed from the regular track, exhibits a high charisma that goes hand in hand with its beauty.

As the next Commander-in-Chief, it is Ninehardt that now comes to mind for Claudia, but even when he assumed the post of Commander-in-Chief of the Eighth Army, he was definitely inferior.

As Claudia kept saying, Olivia roughly raised her hand.

"You know what? Like I said, I'm still not sure what to do. So can we just wait a little longer to come up with an answer?

"Are you sure that means you'll have an answer in five days?

The stay in the Shinto Mekia is scheduled for five days.

Olivia nodded silently.

"Okay. Then we'll be excused for this. ─ ─ Let's go home, Ashton."

Ashton, rising from the couch with Noronoro, walks away silently after seeing Olivia as chilli.

Claudia, who saluted, also left Olivia's room early.

Claudia lurked her voice and said to Ashton, who was walking down the hall without exchanging words.

"Keep this thing down to everyone. Now it just creates extra agitation."

"... sooner or later we'll find out. Shouldn't we talk early, then?

"Apparently, you think your Excellency is leaving."

Judging from that mouthful, Claudia and I seem to have different opinions.

"Is Commander Claudia different?

Claudia is just staring forward and walking, without answering. A misplaced maid leaned against the wall and lowered her head deeply.

(I was honestly glad Olivia told me it was important to face to face. Still, Olivia will leave before us. That's what Olivia is)

"Thought you'd scratch more muddy feet."

Claudia, who opened her mouth again, smiled bitterly when she said so.

"Didn't you say it was definitely like being a man on one end or something?

"Not until I said so, because it's just annoying to your Excellency where you spoke."

"Do you want it...... Well, I'm still going to be cool with this. You can't scratch your feet without a single hand to beat your opponent, actually."

Ashton glanced over his shoulder and laughed at him. Precisely as much as I think of Olivia I can win, but I don't expect her to stay with that stuff.

Claudia, who stopped her leg, lays her eyes down and drops one snort.

"Anyway, there's still time."

"There's nothing I can do about all this where I had time,"

Claudia gently slapped Ashton on his shoulder and walked again.
