I'm desperately pretending to be calm, but Lydia's condition remains unchanged and tauntingly self-assured.

Even though there are twice as many differences in life experience, there are obvious differences in character.

I would just be impressed with other HR, but now......

"It seems I should have touched your hand. I'm not sure what that means."

I might have gotten rested.

Lydia says.

... totally suspicious.

No, I'm inspiring curiosity. Should I say.

Was your advice on Ilhermi unnecessary?

Was it shallow wisdom to try to sell a favour that if some luck overlapped, you might get the help of Lydia, who was so competent that at some point you couldn't see the bottom?

You're as poor and failing as you were in Japan...

... Lydia could make it taste bad.

Maybe better than Il Helmi.

If you add age, she's the best person I've ever seen.

If Maida becomes the enemy and Lydia puts it under... it sucks to the limit of the theoretical value.

I have no choice.

If it is a world of war in the future, difficult things will happen to Lydia as well. At that time......

It's a shame he was also a pure favorite.

"... Mm, Dan. I was rude."

Yeah, excuse me?

"Eh, what's rude"

"Previously on... I disrespected him with curiosity and made him uncomfortable. I apologize."

Gee.

... Was it on your face?

I thought it had hardly changed... but it's unchanged and too conjectural.

"No, forgive me if I had an uncomfortable look on my face"

"No, I'm the one who should apologize for asking too many rude questions. I swear I will never look again, so I ask you to forgive me."

With that said, Lydia bowed her head.

... It was certainly unclean.

But they're nobles and civilians.

This degree is forgiven and natural.

It's hard to do Lydia any harm, no matter what I think or do.

'Cause I say... why apologize so much?

Understand... I'm still bowing my head.

"Master Barca, please raise your head. I was puzzled when they searched my stomach, but I don't need to apologize."

"You're right, in your capacity. But you must have been offended. Would you consider it a mistake to be young? If you'll forgive me, I promise I won't forget."

"I guess it's not like you said it would be... Anyway, I get it. I'm not going to ask you any questions until now."

Even if we can do something, it's a long way off.

I can't help thinking about it now.

"Of course, I have trouble with my mouth alone. Dan, I'm not ungrateful. I suggest you sell thanks."

"I don't care if you say you sell grace... it's a weird story for a common man to sell grace to a nobleman. Has Master Barca overestimated me for anything?

"It could be. But even if you're much smaller than I thought, I'll return the favor this time. So, how do you respond?"

Whatever it is...

... Should I throw away any extra thoughts?

... If you don't think I forgive you... that's not a good idea.

A common man who is told so far by his nobility not to forgive him can only be described as paranoid.

Besides, earlier it was a little too easy to outburst.

I feel like I've been thinking about all the bad things that are very unlikely.

Perhaps the impact of Maida's story, which I learned yesterday, is still in my mind.

I don't know...... calm down me.

But is this the military candidate?

I can't help but feel like they're reading the inside out when they just say they're apologizing.

Let's be more careful in the future, including Grace.

"Okay. Never remind me of today."

"Mm-hmm. Thanks."

Lydia should have had a personality that didn't care what they thought around the basics.

Why would Lydia apologize to the extent that she offended me as a common man?

... I have no idea.

I'm not the kind of person who could originally speculate on the inside...

Guess it's just useless to think about it.

"Um, Master Barca, I've been respecting you for a long time, but could you fix it?

"Thank you. Respect sounds like my habit and it's hard to fix. I want you to give up."

....... Something about it, I think it was appropriately embellished... but I guess you won't fix it.

Give up......

I've thought and remembered more about Grace than that, and do you hear that?

"Well, I suddenly remembered, what is it that you asked me to take care of my safety that you wrote about before? I ended up not being able to confirm... it's wild to ask the person, but it's not a good idea to say I don't know."

"Oh, I wrote to you that if you make any mistakes, we'll make it up to you at the Barca house, and I want you to send me a report. As you may not know, the Barca family territory is relatively close to here. I thought I'd be interested in taking Karma into account."

... Yes?

So, you filed a joint liability bond with me from yourself? And for me, the nobleman, the common man?

... You can do it. Isn't that enough to make you sweat?

I can assure you that I didn't actually bother the Barca family like a report would, but my safety was greatly assured.

The anger just now... is incredibly ungrateful.

We have to be fierce.

"That... I had no idea. I never dreamed you could write about it. Thank you very much, Master Barca."

"Hmm. Are you frightened again?

"... to be honest, a little. Looks like you've taken into account the lack of identity."

"We didn't actually bother you, and we knew you would only fail with one possibility. And... no, this is unnecessary. Whatever. You don't have to worry about it."

"... thank you very much for your words"

Sure, yeah.

Even when I received my letter of introduction, I was going to be careful not to cover it with mud.

But the wording should not have been meaningless.

Or maybe it's because of that that that things are going well now.

Looks like I owed you something at some point.

Lydia, I was reluctant to introduce you today, and I'm sorry I got angry again easily.

After this I guided the castle so that it would be as beneficial a time as possible before going with Grace to the mansion given to Lydia.

The mansion was splendid with a good understanding of Grace's expectations and seemed excessive against a seventeen-year-old girl.

I'm honestly worried.

Lydia herself remained quiet when she saw the mansion, but is it okay?

Nevertheless, there is no way that a junior official can assist.

Baking extra care can only be annoying.

Well, let's do what we have to do over here.

I have to write to Mr. Ouran.

The details include what Karma would like Zanza to do if he were called to Wang Capital, and my plans for action.

And above all, I need you to find out if exceptions like Maida are in contact with nomads, just like me.

I need to ask you to do something that the Beast Man hasn't done before, or talk to me as soon as you hear about the tribe that got the tools.

Regular contact tells me the mountain fields are close there too.

I'd like to help Mr. Ouran out somehow... but that's hard.

---

It's been a week since Lydia worked out.

I'm starting to hear rumors at this early stage that Lydia is "capable" of getting a runny nose.

Seems to be at a stage where I'm used to seeing fitness in this department over there, but I'm talking about things being different.

The basic abilities of memory, computation, knowledge, etc. are different.

That's why I said I'd pay back what I lavished with the money Grace gave me, not the unsubstantiated confidence that I'd win over young people, but the future that would surely happen.

Thank you. I think I got extra worried.

Grace would be delighted.

What a thought and working, I got a call from Grace.

What timing. Would you say that a shadow would come from rumours like this?

Grace's office, called in, seemed busy the same.

But Grace, who saw me, took a seat and ran this way... no, no, no, he was so disappointed that he held my hand.

"Dan, I'm sorry I ever thought of you as a frigid guy! Thank you so much for bringing this kind of talent when you're busy after the mess."

Mr. Grace says with his hand in his hand.

Um, have you changed your personality?

"Rusty before that has a bit of a habit, but he's a great warlord who's very good and rational, and I'm really glad I hired you. I'm sorry I ever doubted you. Promotions, of course, but any other requests?

Whoa... are you so happy?

Sure looks better than before... I think the neighborhood of my eyes is thinner too.

Did those two alone work that well?

"No, I'm not there. We like the work of the warehouse"

Really great over there.

There's nothing to complain about except the guy who gets crusty and a lot of rats.

On top of being on the inside duty, it's awesome plain and nice.

I was only chosen as Mr. Dusk Bae's place of work.

"Really? If you're used to working on Lydia's instructions, I think you should stick under her. It's easier to be born."

There's a hole in my stomach when I get there!

I can't help noticeably being near Lydia, who is generally a person of the hour.

The cat was pretty hairy. I came all over.

"I appreciate your favor. But I hear a lot of people want to work with Barca right now, and I can't play such a big part..."

Yeah. Seriously, a lot of people say they want to work together.

Adding up the title is easy to understand.

A sourced aristocratic lady + beautiful girl + competent who suddenly appeared on the border.

Is that it? It makes me feel like I'm suddenly going to fall in love with a common man without any context when I write like this.

Nooo, I may have read too many allergic stories when I was in Japan.

Even if that is a joke, Lydia is thought to be coming out big in the future.

Then, if it were easy for her to handle, she would be able to emerge together.

Well, that's a good story for the company.

I graced Grace with a sense of caution and humility and left Grace's room thanking her for just a little bit of birth.

The situation seems to be a hassle from Lydia's point of view, but it's also a sign that she's doing well.

I suppose I wish her happiness in the corner of the warehouse.
