Chilling, chilling...

The doorstep rang lightly at the open clap.

Instead of replacing the store's air, the owner looks up at the sound. Now the quiet birds were ringing, but he didn't care much about the king's city. It wasn't a shop that seemed to be crowded with customers every day, so it was enough to just target each visitor like this.

Raise your hips and thank you deeply if you don't come. The appearance of young people is not uncommon for customers who come to their shop. However, the shopkeeper often remembered the young man whose hair style was characteristic.

When I first visited, it was too quiet, and the young man who was exposing his tension just by entering the store, even if he could not help but look at it as a "climb up", now walks up to me without swimming majestically.

"I'm sorry... please do it again this year"

"I understand. Mr. Beresford."

The humility remained the same as before, and the shopkeeper immediately turned to the shelf for his usual order.

……

"After all, I want to keep the scope of the aptitude test..."

"Yes, especially if you're in high school. At the same time, I wondered if it would be okay to review the examination contents in groups of three people at once. Dios has a lot of spelling mistakes...."

Two days before the exam.

On the day that the school was closed, Pride and Stale, given time off, immediately began a mentoring consultation with the Farnham sisters and brothers.

Gilbert continues to be their tutor today after school yesterday, but not tomorrow. Gilbert returns to his main job as prime minister, and it is finally Pride's turn to see their studies. With the pride of trying to be their tutor for two consecutive days, it was already a considerable reduction in the burden, but the final day is still a serious responsibility. So if you don't understand in time, no matter how good the Farnham brothers were in the game, you can't say for sure that you are an honorary student.

Pride and Stale, who discuss instructional patterns to suit their academic progress in detail, continued to silence the escort columns and Harrison just to keep out of the way. Tomorrow, Arthur and Eric, who will accompany us during a visit to the Farnham house, are on duty today, so three people, including Harrison, are turning the guard.

"I'm so glad that Stale helped us. Thank you so much, I don't know if I've seen all three by myself."

"No, because pride is excellent, it's possible without me if there are about three of them. However, it is my role to help reduce your burden."

Again, considering the detailed meeting and the division of roles, Stale smiled back to the thankful Pride.

It was Stale who announced on the spot that he would join the tutor who was originally going to take pride by himself, and it was Stale who turned his hand to Gilbert. Naturally, he knows the power of pride well. She taught herself and Tiara history, law, and Queen's Office from an early age. Besides the burden, I don't think it's impossible to do it. However,

... please keep your distance...

Well, Stale thinks so.

It's different from Cedric's misunderstanding after the defense war two years ago. However, there was a pure sense of crisis in his chest.

Stale has had Pride teach her what she has learned so far, but she has never included Tiara in her studies. At that time, even when he was just adopted, he remembered his hesitation to have her teach him how to study, and he never wanted her to teach him.

There is not less envy of the difference in that. But it was a pure fear that he was the strongest when Pride declared to the Farnham brothers that he would take responsibility for his studies.

Now, Pride is not a royalty to that twin, he's just a "classmate."

I'd like you to be close as a friend. However, no matter how plain the look of pride as a woman is, it is impossible to hide that her appearance is superior.

And this has been confirmed by the reaction of boys in the same class over the past week, as well as by the reaction of senior students for three years. On top of that, there is no guarantee that she, who had moved for them so strangers, would not let them "mistake" them for their age.

That's why I took charge of the twin tutoring and led her to leave her tutoring to pride. If one of them has already sprouted one of their passions to "Jeanne", such as a study party with her shoulder-to-shoulder in extreme circumstances, it will not be a place to concentrate on study.

Above all, I wanted to have enough insurance to burn the field before the bud was born if I could.

... now you can make Arthur a lover.

For a moment, Stale thought I'd do it for real. If Arthur was here, his spine would have reacted without getting a definite look.

But if you really do that, you'll get a headshot from Arthur, and you'll understand that you're going to hunt your partner down beyond the battlefield. I don't think that even if he's not good at lying, he can keep his normal mind in school life where he lied about who he really is. I didn't want to burden Arthur.

After that, Stale remembers another ideal actor, the knight. He might look bad during the meeting with Pride. Stale, who gave off a slight black sign, raised and lowered his shoulders with a small pride, but only peeked up and down.

But I also give up on the spot. For example, when you're in love with a teacher, it's not just your hard work but your stigma in the column.

I still have other things to think about besides school. The plan to proceed under water with the top layer has not yet been finalized.

But now, as Pride wants, I think the Farnham sisters and brothers are my top priorities. Above all, their situation cannot be overlooked by Stale. He also grew up in a family he could not say he was wealthy.

As far as the twins were concerned, at least until yesterday, they were both smart, quick to swallow and serious. He also thinks it is not a dream to get the top in the middle two years if we help ourselves.

Pride has a sister, and she has twins. I can tell you enough.

If I could say luxury, it would have been perfect if I had been taught one-on-one with Jilbert or the Earl's column involved, but that would have been difficult. I can't let Jill Vail, who is temporarily in shape, meet with any Kimikaze other than Arthur. If we meet, we will be known as Jill, who appeared in the battle for annihilation four years ago.

The knights also know that Jill returned Pride from childhood to adulthood in the Battle of Destruction. In particular, Alan is a witness to it.

In addition, only Alan, who is a relative, or Eric, who is taking care of him at home, can escort Jeanne and the other commoners who grew up in the mountains as guardians. It is unnatural for a mere knight, Column, to get involved with Jeanne and the others until the holidays. If only he knew that the teacher had seen Farnham's sister and brother study, he could be suspected of wrongdoing.

"I wonder how Dios and the others are doing by now. I hope my studies are going well."

"Don't worry. Because Jill Vail is taking care of him. Arthur could score a full score."

The way I said it to Arthur... I thought it was a little pride, but I stopped with a bitter smile.

The irony of Stale's Arthur tangle is basically not insulting to him. It is light enough to be asked by the person. If Arthur gets really angry or depressed with it, it's definitely Stale who breaks first.

And after knowing that Pride and Column understood that, Stale also said. But... I remember the other Kintetsu Knight here shortly afterwards.

In the end, I corrected and refused to keep saying "I'm kidding."

"Arthur is the best knight you can be without studying."

The remark relieved Harrison of his shoulders, which were slightly up.

It doesn't matter to him that Arthur is seen down there more than any student, but there was some dissatisfaction in listening to him badly from Stale's mouth in front of Pride.

I also told the Kintetsu Knights that Jill Vail had deceived himself with his "age manipulation" and was teaching as a tutor yesterday and today.

It is also a well-known fact that he can age manipulate his appearance. Albert, the King's Majesty, gave me permission to reveal what Roderick, the Knights of the Knights, knew in secret. The Prime Minister's holidays and even his personal charitable activities are fine.

Gilbert didn't hesitate when she first came to see her tutor from Stale. Rather, I was able to predict the approximate situation from the moment I realized that Stale would talk to me. From his point of view, the current situation of the Farnham sisters and brothers is unlikely to be any other HR. In addition, it was more difficult to refuse if Pride wanted it or if it was a request from Stale.

I was even happy to see Stale wanting to cooperate with me on a holiday, seemingly painfully overflowing with symptoms. I used to feel uncomfortable relying on myself, but now Stale cares about his holidays and asks me not for orders. Moreover, the tone of the request has never been rounded, even though there is such a crack.

"Happily," said the previous pleasure, and the mouth was loosened when the stale was returned shortly to thank me. I don't want Stale to forgive me for his past sins, but I can't help it, because I'm glad he opens his heart and relies on me.

When I think of how Stale smiled back at that time, I feel a little defeated. But for the sake of Pride and Farnham's sister and brother, I can't change my stomach. Above all, I don't think it's as irritating now as it used to be.

"I'll do my best to help tomorrow. They only have to grasp the special students in front of them. I'll have Arthur and Lieutenant Eric help me that day."

I will conclude that both of you can check for spelling mistakes, but I haven't turned down Arthur or Eric yet. My whole body was willing to use everything I could.

It's all for pride's sake, and for Farnham's sisters and brothers, who are losing sight of the future that only cares about their families.

Thanks to Pride, this is the only way to keep them from needing their special abilities again.

There is no way that Stale can allow himself to cross the line of recapture, making others happy at the cost of just one sacrifice.

"Onee-sama, niisama! I'll help you too!"

Immediately after knocking, Tiara's voice echoes from behind the door.

Tiara, who was given rest time by Albert from the royal work, also rushed for the prides. When she opened the door, Tiara's smile jumped into pride and stale, looking for help while blinking her eyes.

"Thank you, Tiara. It's very reliable."

"Then please write down the explanation for this ability test."

I vigorously raise my voice to the words from the two of you.

Looking at the four problem sheets handed over by Stale, she ran around with a pen and wrote a cute handwriting.

Along the way, even though she knew the answer, she was worried about how to explain it, and when she twisted her neck, Tiara reached out to "Captain Column" and the Jinsho Knight for help.

While on escort duty, I can afford to answer the column to the extent of consultation from the Second Princess. The column, which replied with a single voice, approached with its eyes slightly open to the fact that it had been shaken.

From Tiara, where can I explain it? If asked, he can easily give back his advice. Although on the teacher's side, he was more accustomed to teaching the knights as a captain than Tiara, as long as he was not actually involved in this exam at all, and the degree of explanation of the teaching proposals and problems.

The meeting of the first princess, first prince, second princess, and knight captain on special measures for only three students lasted as long as time permitted.

……

Ki.....

"Hi, Maria. Is Stella asleep yet?

When the door opened, the woman in the mansion greeted the man with light blue hair who appeared from behind with a soft smile.

"Welcome back, Jill. Teresa is reading me a book now. He bought a picture book for you with Mr. Trixie. Go see him."

Maria was relaxed on the sofa as she stroked herself with her belly, which was bigger than a month ago. Already late at night, she is weaving a blanket in a room with closed curtains.

Gilbert, who responded to Maria's words by saying, "I'll be right there," once again pays off the dust of the clothes he paid in front of her. He was spending time in the Farnham house wearing clothes, but now he stands at his original age. However, the space where Stella was as young as possible and Maria, a pregnant woman, wanted to be hygienic, and he didn't want to bring in dirt or dust, so he put on his new clothes.

What about Pride's request? Are you satisfied?

Maria, my wife, has not told me the details.

I could not explain that I was only returning my holiday because of my work for pride. However, the explanation alone was a good reason to send her out.

Because she understands that her beloved husband is not a man who betrays "pride" and "family." Rather, I think it would be better to spend more time for pride and people than to go out satisfactorily right now. There are servants in the Mansion, including maids, and Stella, the eldest daughter, is barely available now.

With that in mind, when asked how his work had progressed so far, he came back with a laugh that included fufufu before words. Sleeving through his new clothes and dressed in fine and cool usual clothing, Jill Vail looks back to his beloved wife with just his neck.

"Oh, good. With reference to (...) point (...), (...) is (...) above (...) was (...) (...)"

I wonder if it's up to them to leave behind, but that invincible smile was in the mood itself.

Maria understands it at a glance and laughs small. She thinks it's like buying a present for Stella. Nice, and gently returned to his wife, Gilbert gently put his hand on her shoulder and smiled on her forehead as she sat up.

I look forward to hearing from Jeanne and the others who visited the Farnham house tomorrow.
