Stranger’s Handbook

See Oneisan's maid in front of you

Dark-eyed brunette... a crisp, slightly tight image woman... I see, to a lady... you look similar

I'm about to tremble. I suppress my body and my voice.

"Nice to meet you..., will you, Lamia stepmother? My name is Zest."

I managed not to tremble. I could tell.

"Nice to meet you, Zest. Heh heh, surprised?

It's a laugh like flirting succeeded, actually succeeded...

"I didn't know Mother-in-law was dressed as a maid... just amazing"

It's an honest feeling

"Hehe, are you sorry? I was surprised when I saw it in the bath. Sonia? Curb the killing, didn't you?

That's what I said. I folded my master's head in a fan.

... Are you okay? Gothin 'made a heavy noise.

"Actually, Your Majesty asked me to try you. Don't be mad at me, okay?

Tilt her little neck up... she's cute, but she's an aunt... because she's an Oneisan woman and she's my mother-in-law.

I'm not angry, Mother-in-law.

Hit the prediction with a smile with Nicole

"Can I use it as a test of my humanity and as a nobleman, while also trying to be counter-intuitive to the Empire? The court magician... perhaps four seats, Mother-in-law?

Erase the gentle smile you just had and you'll have a belly-black grin just like Uncle Borderline

"Well, why would you think that?

There's no made-to-measure atmosphere.

of the Count of the Border... is releasing the pressure of the great nobility

"First, I was present at a secret meeting with His Majesty. Now I thought there was some connection, not just a maid. Next time you were in the bathroom, the bathroom attendant's maid should be fixed. Besides, it's unnatural for a maid to attend a secret meeting with His Majesty."

Have a cup of tea at one end and make room between

"Because of this [Isn't this maid trying me with some kind of secret life from Her Majesty?] And I was wary. What do you want to try in my situation now... the mysterious man who suddenly appeared, and accomplished spiritualization. The Counts of the Borders care about you, but do you have loyalty to the Empire? Can you use it as a nobleman? What can I give you to control it?

Heh, you're suspicious while I'm at it...

"So you tried, didn't you?

Ask Nicole

"It's good to know where you stand, so?

"Yes, the magic on my mother-in-law isn't hidden. Now I feel it clearly. He is not a wizard of the line, so he would be a court magician... but at the head of the line, too much power is concentrated in the Borderline Uncle family. So two or three seats? No, from the top to the third, it's hard to imagine putting a woman in a position because she would want to take three shifts during the war..."

"You thought four seats would be reasonable."

"Yes, Mother-in-law"

Drink tea from each other

Probably for sure.

When I look up at Chilari and her stepmother, she blushes and gazes

What? What? Are you okay?

"Sonia... you can't let this kid go. Cute wow... it's worth the effort."

"Right? I've planted more or less magic, but you want to, too, right?

... stop it, it will kill you

Even if they think you're incompetent, you're gonna die, but the opposite is dangerous.

"Magic is fine, powerful, spiritualized, and proven, with knowledge that no other nobleman can fit in, light attributes... oh, perfect for Beat's son-in-law! Sonia, I'll be at the wedding, too, right?

"I know, Larmia, because it's a pretty Beato wedding."

Um, can you stop it, please?

It's good for you two to flirt, but keep it together, okay?

I'm gonna tie my hands and stare. I'm gonna take my gaze off the two of you and get some tea... No.

Let's do it ourselves.

By the end of my second cup of tea.

I'm finally back from the two worlds, Lamia, and my mother-in-law talks in a hurry.

"Mmm, Zest. Courtroom Demon Instructor 4 seats Larmia has acknowledged, the exam is completed with passing. Don't worry, I'll report it properly to Your Majesty."

"Thank you, thank you"

Huh. Clear for now.

Well, your majesty will be worried.

A suddenly emerging adoptive son became the son-in-law of the Borderline Uncle family and successfully spiritualized

I just have to admit my accomplishments, but won't I betray you?

How can you be so stupid and unfamiliar with aristocratic society?

It's normal to suspect such an uncertain man

If you hadn't checked it out, you would have terrorized the incompetent emperor.

Don't worry about being in the Empire.

Pinch sweets with relief

Yeah, this is pretty tasty.

"But you're in trouble... you're too good..."

Huh?

"I guess... when this happens..."

face to face and the two of us are muttering and roaring

I wonder what it is.

What doesn't taste good?

Too good...

Too... hey

Oh, well.

Sure, don't bother. This is...

"You think there's too much power in the Borderline House?

I bet you do.

I can't ignore the useless feat of spiritualization.

That's why I informed the surrounding countries as the head of the court magician.

Well, you're gonna have two court wizards at Uncle Borderline's.

I trust, but I want to avoid the power balance leaning too far

I guess that's the place.

"That's right... it doesn't taste good to have four court magicians at Uncle Borderline's house..."

Hmm? Four??

"Mother-in-law, are you four?

Am I hearing this wrong?

"Yeah, the first two seats are your father's sidekick, and Sonia's going to be three seats in the first two. And you've been complaining a lot, haven't you?" Does Uncle Borderline have three court wizards? "

You're in trouble, aren't you? and on my mother-in-law smiling at my master

Isn't that... unsavory?

I'll complain, then.

"That's the four of us now, isn't it? Exclusive from the head to four seats? Trouble, could it be okay..."

Mother-in-law, I don't think you're gonna be okay.

You think so, too, so you tried to have an empty cup of tea, right?

Monopoly from the top to the fourth...

There's a hole in His Majesty's stomach.

It was the master who broke the silence.

"Zest... you might not be Beat's son-in-law..."

That's what I said with my sinking face, Master...

I was staring in silence...
