"...... hmm. Hold on... hold on.... Phew. I get it. I remember the smell of Lydia. But I don't think the Kays would know if they wore this.... but if Lydia talks, won't we all forget? It's a rare way to talk."

That's right.

Wherever you look on Earth, Eighteen Girl doesn't have to be an iggy to talk like this.

"Really? This happened naturally because I used to hang out with people who talk like this. If it's odd, I'm in a bit of trouble."

... Is that a scholar teacher coming to the study group you were at when you were ten?

The average age is fifty, right?

"I think it's good because it's odd, it sounds like a very smart way to talk and it looks good on Lydia... Just don't forget when you ask... and if you're the only two guys dressed like that, don't you stand out?

"I'm thinking about that. We're gonna take a couple hundred civilians as a backwards job rep, right? You make all of them wear these clothes for a good reason. If Barca doesn't talk in public later, it won't be possible to spot Barca."

"Exactly a good idea. First of all, there's a problem. The immediate problem that comes to mind is that spies come in with the same clothes and it's not good, but you just have to show your face where it matters. Thank you, my lord, for taking the time to show yourself. [M] And you're getting more and more pranks from children."

I seem really in a good mood.

With that said, Master Titos seemed to be very tough.

Maybe it wasn't an acceptable environment for a prank to fool someone.

Mm-hmm. Let's make this a fun war tour.

"Ma, that's how easy you want to go. The next thing you know, you have to decide who's going to take command of the army, and who to ask for our two escorts. I'm thinking Raven and Mr. Ira, but what do you think of Mr. Barca?

"Raven if Gare and Raven. But it would be a lower measure to make Lord Ira, the beast man, act with the humans of the South. Don't you want to keep the First Ira hidden? In addition, if Sanada and I are ambitious, Lord Rusty would like to accompany us strongly. Do you refuse to do that?

"Will that happen after all? But given Rusty's fondness for Maida, he's worried that warming up his old relationship might make him feel harder to leave and go away."

Mr. Rusty valued Maida highly.

In addition, if it were her personality based on information so far, she would find Maida more attractive than me.

Furthermore, I am anxious that they will make my story Maida at the booze table.

"Hmm... in addition to that worry..."

I shut up on the way, but I know what's going on.

That's what this is about, Lydia.

"Can't you trust me?

After showing her a little thought, Ms. Ira said sadly.

I knew you'd find out.

"Yes, Mr. Ira, the Karmas will think they've survived the existential crisis. If so, spare me. I don't need an intrusive man named Dan. and come up with it. You don't have to go that far, because it's only natural that you should start acting to use Ira as Kalma's subordinate."

"... but I promised?

Promise...... is the promise worth it?

Promises are like pie skins, made to break.

The word is definitely correct in a war-torn world.

Thankfully for Ira, she is a bad belly artist, so I can trust her while she is nearby because I generally know what she thinks of this one through conversation and attitude.

That's why we live together as escorts.

But......

"I remember my promise. But I don't have the power to make you keep that promise. So I don't think it's surprising that Ira should go back to her good friends Udai and Karma. That's what they'll say over there and invite you. Plus, there are many situations where we can't keep our promises."

Listening to my words, Mr. Ira showed how to think about it.

Oh, man, what's the matter with you, actually?

"Lydia, I'm sorry.... go to my room. Dan and I need to talk."

Huh... is it also a secret story? I can't imagine the content at all.

"My you?

"Mr. Barca, please do so"

"Yes, sir."

Ms. Ira didn't talk until Lydia left the room and heard the door close in the distance.

Besides, are you very nervous? Why? Why?

"... Shh.... Dan, you're lying, aren't you?

"Uh, what kind of lie is that?"

"... Dan's hiding something. Something about Ouran that scares Dan. Yet in front of everyone, Ouran made Dan look like a fool. Isn't that right?

Huh!!!

Hands... slowly to the mouth.

Hide your expression in a natural way.

As if you were thinking.

... It's okay. I'm fine. I'm not upset about the table.

Believe it.

... What did you find out?

Why is that?

No, I don't care why.

... if you come to this problem...

How do we handle this?

"Da, Dan, could you be angry? Very... unpleasant..."

"No, don't be angry... I'm not here. I'm just very surprised. I can't imagine Master Ouran being afraid of me... and why did you think that?

"... when you went to fight at Ouran, you gave Dan's sentence, didn't you? At that time, Ouran was making fun of Dan, but the sentence itself treated him like an important treasure. Yet after the battle with Oreste, you behaved humbly towards the Beasts, didn't you? Still, maybe the two of us are hiding it, so I started thinking.

I had that attitude when Ouran came, so I thought maybe it wasn't the same but if I looked at it well...... Ouran and his escort's tail and ears seemed frightened. Dan was dressed so pitifully......

I got so scared that Dan thought, 'Maybe you're doing something like that, and it's okay to be so stupid for that,' that I was going to tremble, too. 'Cause if that's the case, we're the ones they're trying to fool. Because it means I'm not trusted as much as nothing, dressed as such an animal man or a Kay man would ever challenge a duel.

I'm pretty sure the Ourans were scared. Just as I was desperate to contain it at that time, the tail and ears of the Ouran and the escort were moving. The four of them seem to have made a good fool of themselves. "

Oh, my God... your sides are sweet, Mr. Ouran...

Did you find out about that act?

I thought you did a great job.

I hear that everyone practiced so much that they couldn't count, starting with Mr. Ouran for that.

You can tell by tail and ear because it's the same race... I had no idea.

I thought it was a necessary, safer idea. What is this Zama?

I went to the ground to say that I could get away with the ruse.

As much as I want to kick the pillars and ramble them, but such luxury is unacceptable.

... Well... I need to make sure of a few things.

Whatever you decide, then.

"Yes, did you tell anyone that Mr. Ira thought?

"Huh!!

When I asked, Ira shook her head with great momentum.

You look a little pale.

Are you seriously afraid? So this isn't a threat?

"I won't tell. Absolutely.... I've never been scared of anyone before. Lydia's a little scared... But Dan is terribly scared sometimes. So I don't go against Dan, I don't hate Dan, and I didn't.... I want you to believe me"

"Other than Mr. Ira, do you think anyone else felt that Mr. Ouran was scared of me?

"I don't think he's here.... Lydia probably doesn't think it's an act either. Even I, the same beast man, couldn't be sure. I can't. And when Fio was laughing, he was really crying..."

Oh, did that one work?

That was real tears...

I was grateful to you from the beginning, but you might want to give Kiri a proper thank you at some point.

"And you don't know why Mr. Ira scares me. The skill of the sword is as Master Ira knows it. Even though wisdom is less than a tenth of Mr. Barca's."

"That's a lie. It wasn't Lydia who figured out what to do to help Karma and the others, either, Dan.... I heard what you just said and found out. Karma and I were supposed to die, too, if that's what happened in Viviana.... I think Dan, who could have helped us, could have killed us.... That scares me so much."

You're missing theories everywhere. This...

But you're definitely paying strong attention to fear of me.

They just noticed that Mr. Ouran didn't look at me lightly, and it tastes pretty bad.

What is really wrong with you, as it is natural to admit it?

"If you're scared to the point even though it's a misunderstanding, why don't you just kill me? If Ira put it on Karma and the others, I don't think there's any other way for Barca and Rusty to leave."

"I'm not that ungrateful.... Plus, if I kill Dan, I might buy Lydia and Rusty's grudge, and I'm pretty sure he'll be gone. Then Karma and the others will not survive. No?"

'Could' buy grudges?

Isla hasn't figured out Lydia, either.

Mr. Rusty will definitely be angry with you.

It's a boulder. Whatever it is. Sounds like something called Lydia Barca is happening.

And thanks to that Lydia, my neck is safer.

I have to thank you.

I think I'm still here because of you.
