Stranger’s Handbook

216 To prepare for the ball

"And by the way, su. What does this reward mean? What am I supposed to do?

"Sir, it is a great honor to be allowed to monopolize such rare fabrics. I thought we should be a little happier."

"Really... then did that store please His Majesty"

"My husband seems to be a favorite, too, doesn't he?

……

I would have completed a mission with great difficulty: going out with His Majesty the Emperor, but I am Conozama.

Su is smiling softly, but his eyes aren't smiling

My sister's in a bad mood just wants my brother to do something about it, but I can't possibly expect that from a raw hater and a wasting dog, and I shouldn't even think about it.

It only adds extra damage

"Hey, su. It's time to get in the mood..."

"I'm telling you, I'm not saying this because I'm in a bad mood. A reward from His Majesty the Emperor that this fabric may be monopolized. So, if there is... your wife needs an explanation, too, right?

"Hmm? Beat has got some fashionable fabrics..."

"'Why is that a reward?' To explain, you really have to explain to your wife yesterday morning's return."

……

Exactly.

Your majesty must have decided that such a sketchy fabric would be a reward for me. There's no way you're not talking about the flow.

If that happens...... no bread sukiyaki will find out, albeit a mistake

"I have a hard time making my husband feel bad if that happens. Why didn't you do something better... if I looked grumpy, it was against me!

"... su..."

Then I also want you to spare me this flow as preached in that face all morning

I didn't say that. I want to compliment myself.

A loyal family order that tells you about your husband.

I'm sure there's a part of it, but I knew there were other reasons why she kept preaching to me.

"That way, the Chancellor will show His Majesty that he will never return, and he will not have said a word to me until morning in this room."

"It's... I'm sorry..."

I'm going home in the morning and I'm going to sleep plenty. I guess this is why it's been a novel tournament all morning after I did it.

I can't help but think of it as a tribute.

Netineti and Su were scolded by the Chancellor.

What kind of torture would that be...... what is this? You should have something rewarding for her too

It's never because if you turn her to your enemies and Beato tells you, your stomach breaks.

is a reward for purely hard-won subordination

"That's right! Let's reward Su too!

"... is it a reward?

What are you trying to delude with things?

I have eyes that seem to hear words like that, but ignore

I told you before, this place is a winner.

"You've been wearing that coat lately, haven't you? I hear a lot of people mistake that for something. Are you an official of the Church? Or maybe I'm mistaken for Anastasia."

"That's true, but it's more convenient as a lady's shadow fighter, too. I can handle every man who tries to dictate a lady."

"Ugh, um. Still, you are the ordinance. Externally, we'll need some clarity."

"Certainly… as a Grand Duke's decree may be"

As a grand nobleman, I can't believe you misled me with a reward because I don't want my family decree to preach.

So this would be a good place to reward her

Make it easy to understand as a family order and deserve to be a grand duchess again.

"All right, I'll make your coat out of this fabric. Include the family crest of my Grand Duke."

"Or a coat with a family crest!? Sir, is that for me?!?

"Surprise what? What's wrong with a Grand Duke's decree wearing a Grand Duke's family crested coat? It would be easier to understand."

"... sir... I did. I'll arrange it that way."

That's right, Su leaves the room holding the fabric with both hands with care

Thank goodness... I've finally finished my long sermon

I just thought so then.

It was a month later that I regretted that I should have noticed her blushing her cheeks slightly as she left the room.

"Arranging a ball..."

"My lord, wouldn't that be right away if I told His Highness the Family Order?

"My adoptive father, did Albert even eat anything bad to tell the truth?

"Mm-hmm. Even if I say so to Su, of course. But you're worried about something like this... Oh, you've never seen Anastasia before? Albert often says something relatively decent after training. Try again."

"Was it?"

"Well, you are! I'll try it next time, adoptive father!

Albert, whose brain is also made of muscle, turns a little wiser after he moves his body.

The fact that you said something as decent as you did right now, you probably even punched around the dragon.

If it was just training with the Black Knights, you'd be missing a little more.

"Well, forget about Albert. I feel like I'm forgetting something... anxious."

"Is that what your Excellency forgot?"

"Even your adoptive father can do that."

I feel like I've seen something rare, but I'm not the perfect superman.

Pokamis, I forget things.

So it's a good memory to leave Beato alone and see hell.

"I'm a normal person, too. If you are worried, you will fail. You used to cry scared in the middle of the night?

"Ha ha, I don't know if your Excellency is normal. I doubted my ears, Albert."

"Ugh, your adoptive father is a good joke"

"No, it's not funny, is it?

"My lord cries, etc… what is the matter?

"Your adoptive father is frightened, etc... even if the dragon came in 10,000 units?

Two bitter laughs who said 'joke me', but my next word made me look real

"I forgot my anniversary with Beat..."

"My lord, no more"

"Please don't, adoptive father, just imagine it will make your stomach ache"

"... right?

Drinking tea in front of two people who no longer have a look like Nobu rather than a true face

I was really scared then.

It's a fancy dish, but it's totally chilled. That moment when Beato, sitting in front of it and smiling, said, 'Yesterday was your anniversary.'

It is the day that man learns that when he feels extreme fear, he collapses from his knees with a ston.

"Don't be so frightened. It's a joke now. That's right... it was just about a year ago... or... huh?

""... remain, no way... "

Just a year ago.

This, i.e., where it means

A year before Christmas is Christmas.

A year before Valentine, Valentine.

A year before my birthday is my birthday

The calendar we looked back on, shaking.

When Marie checked the date of the "Beat Calendar," it was clearly written there.

'Wedding Anniversary' with a large heart mark edge and

"Ah, Albert!! I left the prep to Su!!

"Ha! Good luck!

"Anastasia! We're leaving as soon as possible!

"There is no moment's respite, let's hurry up, adoptive father!

I'm gonna hold Anastasia aside and run out with full physical enhancement.

Not if your demeanor says something.

I can't help it, because Beat is the one thing I should take precedence over.

But there are things that are not allowed to be forgotten in such a hurry.

"Oh, adoptive father? Why don't we head to the dragon?

"Anastasia, you can't go home with your bare hands, can you? I have to buy a bouquet of flowers the size of which I can't hold with both hands and go home."

"Ha! I was! That's my adoptive father, I couldn't think of anything like that."

"I've apologized for the same bouquet of flowers every time, but Beato likes flowers. I'm glad that's not happening."

She was really pretty hugging the bouquet of flowers I gave her

You said after you decorated the room, you'd turn it into an embossing.

To apologize for forgetting, I have to give you a bigger bouquet than usual.

That's what I thought. I was in a hurry to the florist, but it doesn't seem like my life is gonna be easy.

"... that there are no flowers?

"Also, sorry!

Teito's 'Established! Arriving in the Garden of the Great Back, I overhear that one word I tell you.

Weren't you all you could get flowers for the Daimyo course? and

"Actually, the garden was damaged when the dragon came before... I'm in the process of adding more flowers that were safe, so if I pick them now, they'll be extinct"

"... then we have no choice. But what makes you think other florists don't have it in stock? We're not shipping everything from you, are we?

There were a few regular florists on their way to this store outside Teito.

I came to this distant store because the other florists were close to opening the store, which means I had no choice.

... 'Cause I'm in a hurry, it's better to have a store nearby

"Yes. Most of them are covered by our stores, but there are also a few that come picking up flowers from Noyama. But lately, a burglar has settled in the place and he can't get close..."

"Well, do you know where it is?

"Yes, I know... Huh? KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!

"Oh, adoptive father, this speed is poison to the average person! You're going to die!

If a burglar is in the way and can't pick flowers, you should pick a burglar

The woman in the store runs to the dragon, and Anastasia on the other side tells me a story, but it's okay.

"Anastasia, don't worry. I'm pouring therapeutic magic into it, so I'm not going to die."

"Oh, you did. Then don't worry, adoptive father."

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no."

A few minutes later, I arrived at the Dragon with a cheerful screaming woman, and I went to pick flowers with the black knights who were there.

"As soon as possible, we have to deliver the bouquet of flowers to Beato. My stomach hurts like a burglar trying to get in the way! Kill them all!!

"Heh heh heh! It's flower picking!

"Kill it clean so the blood doesn't stick to the flowers!

"I'm sorry to hear Albert's husband left a message! This one's a hit, we're gonna get busted!

"... Mother in Heaven, not like the flower picking I know..."

After I finished picking flowers, I gave the flowers I had taken too far to the cheerful screamer clerk, but she had grown old enough

Repeat like every wow, leave her to the Black Knights to hurry to the realm.

It's been critical this time.

But it's okay, this time it's not like last time!

Even in the evening, we made it to our anniversary.

I'm gonna jump out of the sky with a bouquet of flowers and anastasia.

Waiting for the dragon to land is a hassle.

I'm strengthening my body, so I won't get hurt about landing

Enter the hall and aim for Beato's room

Slowly open the door to the room where you arrived in no time.

It's okay, this time, while I tell myself it's okay.

"Well! Welcome home, Master Zest. Wedding anniversary was yesterday, wasn't it? That bouquet of flowers...... what celebration?

Beato sits alone at a table lined with lavish dishes in a room dimmed at dusk

The food was completely cold and the surface was crusty, I guess it originally had ice in it. The bowl that cools the wine only has water shaking

"Hih."

A small but surely audible anastasian scream held by the small side

down her gently, but her legs were trembling like a newborn deer

I can't help it, because the room is dark, but the highlights are off in Beat's eyes.

I'm gonna be honest with you. I'm a little out.

"Were you busy yesterday? Dear Zest,"

Here it is

Wrong reply here is hell

You can't say, "Yeah, I'm busy."

Let's apologize first... I'm the bad one, so let's apologize honestly and then explain the situation

Anastasia told me to squeeze out when I was so determined to open my mouth

"My adoptive mother, no! Your adoptive father is not bad! Your Majesty...... Your Majesty the Emperor invited me to go for a drink!!

"... Huh, Your Majesty the Emperor... Ugh, yes, yes, His Majesty the Emperor... Ugh..."

That's what I said in tears, Beato whining gently stroking Anastasia.

It is the moment when all Hates turn to His Majesty the Emperor

... may have become extra effortless...
