The Abandoned Baroness is one of the Black Knight’s favorites

Applying for a holiday is easy. Take the holiday application form from the drawer containing various application documents in the office of Knights 2nd Platoon, and write down the necessary matters and give it to Captain Arbel. Depending on the schedule, coordination between colleagues was necessary, but Gilbert would not need a substitute after five days.

The day after talking to Sofia about going out, Gilbert was about to apply for a holiday in the office after work. In the case of nobles, there are many things that cannot be removed, and Gilbert has applied many times before. So it was completely unexpected that the air in the office swayed when I handed the application along with the daily newspaper.

─ ─ What is it?

Not only are people watching Gilbert with interest, but others are whipping their ears in nearby seats. Gilbert sighed little, not going to be particularly strange.

"Captain, this is the daily newspaper. Please also apply for a holiday."

If you're not going to talk to your colleagues, I'm not going to explore. Turning back to Arbel, Arbel looked at Gilbert with an astonishing look.

"... hey, Gilbert. I'm going to make them miserable."

"What do you mean?"

"─ ─... a woman?

Gilbert looked at the words coming out of Arbel's mouth. The office is bustling. Normally, even those who did not chat were watching the situation by trying to get out of the body.

"Lieutenant, did you make her!?

"I haven't stayed in the barracks lately!

"The atmosphere is kind of soft!

Gilbert shut up after being told. I didn't mean to change anything myself, but I'm surprised it looked like that. And I also realized why the air in the office shook when I applied for the holiday earlier.

"No...."

An aggressive denial doesn't seem to be very effective. However, since Sofia came to the house, she has definitely stopped staying in the castle's quarters. Before, it was troublesome to come home late and I used it a lot.

"So, what's she like?

Arbel raised his mouth sharply. Everyone, including Arbel, is now convinced that the reason for Gilbert's change was because of her. If you say it's a woman, you're right, but you won't be convinced when you answer the truth, and I'm not going to tell you the truth. I explored my thoughts for a while and opened my mouth.

─ ─ I picked up a cat.

Gilbert smiled in his heart as he felt the tight office atmosphere relaxed. Only Arbel looks at us with a confusing expression.

"... a cat? Is that you?

"Yes, I'll be waiting at home."

It would be troublesome to say that Sofia is a woman in the Knights of the Guards, which are full of men. Gilbert decided to penetrate it, although he narrowed it out aggressively.

"What kind of cat are you so in love with?

I never thought deeply about what it would be like. Originally Gilbert was often said to be short of words and poor. He chooses to answer Arbel's question sincerely with a little politeness.

"─ ─ The dark green eyes were impressive."

"... oh?

Remembering Sofia, Gilbert opened his mouth.

"When I stroke my soft hair, it feels nice, and even though I'm cowardly, I'm getting closer to you..."

The smile you showed me last night was very cute. I want to make you laugh more, but what should I do? How good would it be to get rid of all the pain and protect him in a happy and gentle world? It is one of the recent pleasures to see you face forward little by little.

"I'm glad to see you getting along with others like you want to keep me locked away ─ ─"

"─ ─ You're talking about cats, right?

Arbel looked at us with an unusual loose face. The rest of the crew also had a gloomy expression.

Yes, it's a cat.

Gilbert dares to say a few words, thinking he won't say anything. Arbel stood up and put his hand on Gilbert's shoulder.

"You... if you put so much in the cat, you can't really get married. I didn't even think I'd ever talk to you, but you look like that to a cat."

Gilbert didn't know what he was looking like right now and gradually put his right hand on his cheek. Some of the colleagues who were watching it exhale.

"─ ─ Lieutenant! It's poisonous to the eyes, so please keep your color down!

When he looked at the junior who said in a hurry, he covered his face with both hands. Though I wonder what color is, I only know that it is obsessed. When Gilbert wrinkled between his eyebrows without hiding his mood, the air froze instantly. Arbel waved his hand to solve it and laughed at Gilbert.

"Okay, okay. Don't worry, I'll make an application. Say hello to your beloved cat."

"─ ─ Thank you."

Gilbert walked out of the office in gratitude. Until now, I've only been looking forward to my work, but I've been looking forward to one thing since I got home. If I thought so, I naturally gained more power in my work than before. In fact, even if we reduce overtime, the workload has not decreased, but rather has increased.

Since then, rumors have spread that Gilbert loves his cat, mainly the second platoon. Gilbert had no choice but to hear the pride of his cat from other squads he had never talked to before.
