While Marcus was talking to the butler at the house, me and Early turned to the Tea Party room this afternoon.

After the tournament, but they usually did the club activities. Tea Party Department. Well, it's just a part of drinking tea and eating sweets, so it's probably after the tournament, but it doesn't matter.

When we went, the other girls took their seats off and the three of us, including Mr. Eckleen, had a cup of tea and talked.

"I'm sorry about the semifinals."

"Yeah...... I didn't think I'd be able to win the tournament from the beginning, so I was going to do it."

Mr. Ecklene is graceful. I thought if she was in a very bad mood, I'd give her some Willidis tea treats to comfort her... You don't have to let it out yet.

"Until the semifinals, it seemed like fun, Mr. Eckleen."

"Oh, okay?

"Yeah, it was a good smile, even though we were in the game"

"I don't like it. Did you look like that? You're a little embarrassed."

You don't look a little embarrassed though. For once, should I ask...

"I'm abstaining in the middle of the semifinals -"

"... yeah, that was as a game, because it wasn't funny or anything. If it was bad, it would have been a big accident."

After all, you seemed upset that the emergency evasion Tedio took during the game was something quite dangerous.

The cup Mr. Ecklene has in his hand, his eyes narrowing to see the reddish brown tea in it.

"It's a game. It's courtesy as a knight to try with all your might. But that's not a game. Me, I'm upset. That's why I abstained."

Was that her own protest? That being said, Mr. Eckleen is grinning.

"If that's the battlefield, I think he's right. That obnoxious behavior, the guts to step in without saving your own life. During that tournament, I was as serious as you, Marcus, the winner."

……

"It's just I was unpleasant."

That's right. Me and Early looked at each other.

"I don't think it's all about letting yourself through, knightly, but I think we also need a spirit that weighs them down. He didn't have it in that game. It's not a knight, it's a warrior."

Knight's swing. With that mouth, Mr. Eckleen laid his eyes down.

"I guess he has a reason why he had to be serious about it. I don't mind taking the deep hand with that, I don't mind dying. But if I hurt him with it, I'm sure he doesn't know how much my heart hurts."

"The reason Tedio didn't mind being mundane..."

He hasn't set a course for graduation yet.

Mr. Ecklene put the cup on the saucer.

"So I guess I stuck it out in front of the gallery, but unfortunately I won't hear from you on that one. If it did, I don't think it would be a lot of work."

It's too dangerous. Hehe, and Mr. Eckleen smiles. It was a development just like Early imagined.

"You know me well."

"Our club is a delicious tea party. If you're talking about students at school, you don't have one left."

Early pulled a little on Mr. Eckleen smiling.

"No one left?

"Yes, there is no one left, Your Highness."

I wonder what rumors I or Early would have had them fulfill. Like I want to know, like I don't want to know.

Mr. Eckleen signals the maid he had refrained from replacing his tea.

"If he doesn't hear from anywhere, I'll pick him up at my house if he wants to graduate."

"Enjoy Tedio, is it?

I didn't get the guidelines right, and I was surprised. After all, I thought I'd never get involved with him again for pretending to be a lady's pleasure.

He's a hard worker.

Mr. Eckleen smiles like a prankster.

"You will become a knight who will serve me all my life with a proper understanding of why I was in a bad mood."

Oh, that's... I don't know how to tell. A little revenge?

"I don't want you to get me wrong, but I still appreciate him, don't I?

"Favor, is it?

"Come on, what do you think"

Mr. Eckleen was neither upset at all nor blushed.

I don't know what this guy's thinking. Would you know if it was around Sakhiris for a long time, this is...

After killing time at the Tea Party Department, he joins Marcus and goes straight back to Willidis.

"So, what did the butler say?

"You didn't tell me what I was going to do after graduation, so I wanted to make sure I was on my way."

Marcus had one evil look on his face.

"You didn't tell me?

Yeah, I didn't say that.

Isn't that a bad idea? 'Cause you've only got a week to graduate, right?

Early put her finger against her own thin jaw.

"Marcus was my second son, wasn't he?

"Yes, my brother will inherit the house"

It is Marcus, the birth of the Earl family. For the most part, the governor inherits his eldest son, so unless that brother is gone, Marcus should be given freedom of professional choice.

"Do you serve me?"

That's what Marcus said after he crusaded Formido. If I hadn't changed my mind, I'd still be with you after graduation.

"That will still hasn't changed!

However, Marcus flashed his face.

"I don't know, because I didn't report it to my parents. I told Jordo that I was on my way, but once I do, I may have to go home to report it properly."

"Yeah, well, I'm talking about my parents. Discussion will be important."

If you have a home to go home to, you'd need that explanation.

For once, if I'm going to be the Lord of Marcus Boys, should I go say hello to the Valieres once? I'll take care of your son.

When I was in the original world, because I worked for the company, the president and other great people didn't even come to greet me... Look, Marcus' house is noble, right?

Noble.

I accidentally put my hand on my mouth. I won the martial arts tournament and became a celebrity for the S-rank adventurers and their strengths.

In Willidis they call him a wise man or something, but the people who know it are extremely limited.

Generally speaking, I am a mage and an adventurer, but how would the Valiere family feel when they hear that their second son serves the adventurer...?

It's also a thankless story as a house to gain the means to make money on your own than not inheriting a house, but would it be a house that tolerates adventurers?

In the honor of Valiere's house, even if the Magic Knight can be forgiven, he can't be an adventurer, or anything.... No well, Marcus is already an adventurer.
