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

◇ ◇ ◇

"─ ─ Wow. I don't think this suits you hopelessly...."

Carina sighed in front of the mirror in her room, looking down at the yellow dress she had just changed into.

The time goes back a few weeks.

Before Gilbert left the Mansion on a mission.

That day, Carina finished her work and went out to dinner dressed in plain clothes.The next day is a holiday, and most of these days I take my feet to my favorite shop.Carina and Kevin are classic restaurants with plenty of food and alcohol.

Kevin is sending a short letter to the Knights.If I don't have business, I will come.I wanted to meet the girl I loved, but I had to come and have a delicious meal alone.

Kevin also had occasion to send Carina a short letter when she was out for dinner.Whether Carina goes or not, Kevin seems to be having fun becoming Kevin.

Sometimes I make promises, but I usually meet somehow.

This relationship was very comfortable for Carina.

"Carina, good work."

I looked back at Kevin.It is a light outfit that suits casual shops.Did you sweat in the shower after work? My hair is slightly wet.

Carina smiled and advanced to the opposite seat.

"Good day. Are you working today?"

"Oh, yeah, but I'm just glad we're off tomorrow."

Kevin sat on the chair in a familiar manner and grabbed the clerk and ordered alcohol and some food.

"Oh, coincidence. I'm off tomorrow too."

"Well then, you can drink it without worrying about it today.─ ─ Coming, coming, coming. "

The liquor I asked for came at once.Kevin, who received it from the clerk, holds a glass and lightly raises it.Carina followed suit, laying a glass of wine to drink.The ice shakes and the glass hits you with a creepy sound.

"Tomorrow's holiday, cheers!"

"Cheers!"

A sweet drink runs through your throat.Refreshing carbonated drinks felt good.

"Nevertheless, at least come after your hair is as dry as possible."

"Eh, isn't it dry? Uh, sorry, sorry.It would be easier if I dried it like a lieutenant, but I can't imitate that. "

Kevin gently picks up his hair and smiles bitterly.

Carina made a fool of the irrelevant trick.She has lighter colors than Carina, and her hair looks softer.I've wanted to touch it, but I don't have the courage to touch it that much more than my own hair.

I've met him casually in the first place, but I haven't even been with him.It's a little too close to saying you're a friend, but you're not a lover because you haven't even conveyed your thoughts.In the first place, Kevin's feelings about Carina are not necessarily love.

"Like Milord... oh, that.But Kevin, you can use magic, right? "

"It's not like I can do it if I use it.That's because subtle output is the hardest part. "

"Speaking of which, I've never seen anyone else do it."

The magic of drying your hair that Sofia makes Gilbert do every day.It seems quite difficult to do that as a matter of course.Yeah, and if I dry my hair in an instant, I'm sure it hurts.I thought it would be a lot easier than drying with magic tools, but apparently it's not that easy.

"Of course, I can't have my hair dried off in the shower room in the men's quarters.I have some magic equipment for you, but no one uses it. "

"Oh, yeah."

Tilt the glass again during the conversation.Carina and Kevin are pretty good drinkers.Kevin was eating the salad that Carina had asked for earlier, in small plates for himself.

"Yes, and I have a little favor to ask Carina today.I really wanted to see you. "

"Oh, my God, change it."

If you ask me what I really want, Carina will take care of herself.Kevin has never done anything other than ask Carina to do her part in the mission.

Kevin laid down his fork and held his hands in front of Carina, who had strange eyes on the table.Then, I lowered my head with so much momentum that it might stick into the plate.

"Please, go with me to the wedding reception between the Lieutenant and Miss Sofia!!"

Gilbert and Sofia's wedding reception is definitely why Carina's workplace is getting very busy right now.Even though it is a reception, it is not so hard because it is a night party with the significance of two weddings in the off-season.

However, Gilbert and Sofia, who sponsored it, and the servants who actually ran around, were very busy, regardless of hardship.

Indeed, using the hall as a ballroom, nobles other than the hostile faction must have invited most of them.Mathias, the prince of kings, and Emilia, his wife, will come.Carina had only seen the Princes and Princes from afar, so she was looking forward to seeing them near Saloon.

That's why Kevin's invitation has a fatal problem.

"I was at work that day."

Carina, Sofia's maid, can't possibly take the day off.In the first place, I'm not going to leave Sophia's dress on such an important day to anyone else.
