"I am truly delighted that Master Isaac has reached a milestone of ten years of age. Best regards,"

"Thank you. Nice to see you again."

Isaac had received a noble greeting under the umbrella of the Marquis Welrod family who had come to greet him, together with Margaret.

I think around Morgan will handle it, but I'm busy being the chief of the nobility.

Even if he has not held the important position of Minister, there are also compromises with other great nobles in the Wang capital, and he cannot deal with them around greeting them for a time.

For this reason, the Lady of the Lord was supposed to take this role instead.

This time he is not only greeted when he arrives in the King's Capital, but is also present because he is also celebrating Isaac, who is ten years old.

(So it was easy to root)

Having the opportunity to make contact with people means that persuasion can also be done easily.

Besides, even if you don't call it in, the head of the Baron or Viscount family, who will be the key man, will come to greet you from himself.

We can meet in a natural flow, with minimal effort.

It was the perfect environment to root.

Margaret had the will to succeed Nathan and the environment in which it was feasible.

So I guess the situation of Nathan's preference materialized.

In knowing so many things, Isaac is reminded that so many different circumstances were moving against him.

(I knew my father was bad. At least, if you'd given birth to me first, it wouldn't have had anything to do with my mother's family, it would have made things easier)

Isaac comes to say hello. After confirming that the nobles are leaving, he sips a sip of tea.

To pour in grievances that are likely to come out of your mouth.

"Isaac, don't drink too much tea. Because I still have to meet a lot of people. It's good enough to make it easier to talk with your mouth moistened only once after you welcome a guest."

"Yes, it looks like you don't have to leave on the way"

"That's right."

It's rude to say "a little toilet" or something in the middle of the conversation.

From here on out, he's just one of the many people who come to say hello.

But if you look over there, you can make an appointment and finally meet someone.

When I took my seat off on the way...

Did you do something you didn't like about sitting in the middle when you met yourself?

- And it makes me worry good.

When the appointment for the meeting was mixed up, I had to be aware and careful not to drink too much.

"So, who did you like?

Margaret cut to the point.

It's also why I was having Isaac present here.

"The way they say they like it is a bit...... In the meantime, anyone but a child who can stare for a moment without hiding his emotions."

- I like it, kid.

If I do that the way they say it, they think I'm sexually portraying the boy.

Nevertheless, it is true that we are looking for it.

But "as a friend".

Most of the boys of his generation were Nathan's friends.

Some of them can be broken off by saying, "I'm dead, I can't help but say this".

But even though they are aristocratic children, not everyone is that dry.

Some of those who were close to each other looked up to Isaac.

Exactly, neither does Isaac think he can flex those he's hostile to right now.

Adults think "better to obey or better to disobey," but children can't predict behavior.

Just in case you say "Nathan's Vengeance!" and suddenly if you get attacked, you're in trouble.

At first, I wanted to select a dear child as a candidate for friends, even on the surface alone.

"Yeah, well, I'm gonna pick a kid who didn't go against Nathan from the grown-ups."

"Please"

Margaret hasn't forgotten what she told Isaac before.

They're going to pick a kid who wasn't very close to Nathan properly.

(I hate to choose those kinds of friends, because they're different from previous life......)

In my previous life, I should have looked for someone I felt comfortable with in school and neighborhood children.

But being the son of the Marquis doesn't mean anyone can play with him.

At the very least, we have to choose from children who are well identified.

Getting out of the city and playing with appropriately old children is unacceptable.

Even if I feel somewhat distracted, I have to choose from a limited number of them.

(Maybe it would be better if Tiffany introduced me to Charles. But I don't want to change the flow of the original and... No, is it too late already)

- Pick a friend.

Even though that was all there was to it, the level of concern was high.

----------

Margaret acted fast.

After greetings from the nobles, which lasted several days, by the time they settled down, they had called Isaac's candidate for friends.

The number is two.

A boy the same age as Isaac.

(But it's kind of heartbreaking...)

The two boys brought to the room are blushing their faces and shaking their bodies.

Do not attempt to move upright immobilized near the door.

Seeing that, Isaac's mind is greatly disturbed.

(I don't take anything else and eat it... What is this? Is that some kind of test? You think you can get along with nature like a younger kid? Well, I had a girl friend, but come on......)

They are like raw bait rats thrown into cages where snakes are.

From their reaction, Isaac had guessed the general reason.

Everybody killed my brother on the spot.

"If you recognize me as your successor, hold your mouth forever! Don't even think about disputing it again! This Isaac Welrod is the rightful successor!

- You won't be able to easily talk to anyone who declares, for example.

Especially if you're a weak child.

At least, Isaac is a murderer (...) who killed two people with his own hands.

It's right as an instinct to be afraid of people who cross the line.

These kids would just have come to their parents saying, "For now, go play".

But it only looks like a "sacrifice offered" to Isaac, and it causes continuous damage to Isaac's conscience.

(no choice)

I wish I was Norman, but I didn't call you this time because it means making friends.

The only person in this room is a maid for service.

We have to act from Isaac here.

Isaac approaches them.

Then the two shook their bodies with viculi and gave them a look full of despair.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Isaac. Nice to meet you."

Isaac smiled like a child and spoke with awareness of his bright voice.

Appeal to "Let's go in a frank relationship" without a family name.

But the boys just look at each other.

I'm really anxious to say a light greeting.

"Actually, I've never had a boyfriend before. I'm glad you gave me your name."

Remind him to smile so he doesn't scare him.

Exactly what Isaac urged me to do, I can't keep quiet.

chestnut-haired boy answered first.

"It's Paul. Nice to meet you..."

Then the olive boy answers.

"It's Raymond. Please be gentle…"

The two voices were trembling.

Are you aware of violence or something? Oh, well. Nathan was active...)

Isaac remembers Nathan.

As he had trained his knight opponent in swords, Nathan was the type to act vigorously.

I may have been pushing my way on these big, big types of child opponents as well.

Of course, Isaac thinks of Nathan as a positive alpha based on the premise that he's "scared of his own business”.

Whatever it was, I didn't think about putting my thing on the shelf and pushing Nathan alone to take responsibility.

"Let's talk first."

Isaac takes both hands and takes them to the chair.

It's somewhat forceful, but I thought it might take a while for them to sit down if I didn't.

The two were freaked out, but when he confirmed Isaac was going to sit in the chair, he sat face to face.

"You were suddenly surprised, weren't you? I was suddenly surprised too."

I'll start by attacking them with the common denominator of "children swinging at will of adults".

But they still don't respond, they just peek at Isaac's complexion.

Isaac is about to sigh, but he is comfortable.

"You saw where I killed my brother, and you know I'm scared. But if I didn't, I would have been killed. I know you're not convinced by the two of us who were my brother's friends."

"We're not friends."

Raymond blocked Isaac's words.

I immediately got a ”ah” look, and I got upset.

"If possible, can you tell me what it's all about? I heard all the kids near my age were my older brother's friends."

The two of you will answer Isaac's question after they have looked at each other a little.

"We were treated like servants..."

"You couldn't be my friend."

If a large crowd is gathered, an upward and downward relationship is created with nature.

Paul and Raymond would have been placed downstairs.

Nathan doesn't seem to have very good memories.

"That's right, you had a tough time... In the meantime, let's talk over sweets."

Isaac recommended a treat.

The other person is a real child.

Besides, he's a big boy.

All of a sudden, you may feel questioned when you are asked a lot.

Keep saying, "What did they do?" Without asking, I was going to put one cushion down.

When I took the cookies first, Isaac took one first.

To make it easier for the two of you to get your hands on sweets.

When I see Isaac eat, they both start eating.

"I like growing flowers and making sweets out of flowerbeds. It was also my idea to make sweet treats that reduced the sweetness. I've been thinking about chocolate sweets."

"And chocolate treats..."

"Awesome..."

Isaac tried to ease the tension between the two by talking about his hobbies.

Taking care of flowers and making sweets is far from "violence".

In fact, the two seemed interested in talking about sweets.

"I didn't do it all by myself because I'm just a kid, but I'm coming up with an idea"

"So, this too?

Paul points to a chocolate doughnut.

"That's right. Some of them are powdered sugar, and compare them."

With Nico smiling, Isaac recommends doughnuts.

"Yummy!"

"Both delicious"

Eat the doughnuts, the tension between the two loosens.

"Yes, good"

Isaac didn't try to hear more about it, although it wasn't the answer to the comparison he had eaten.

"How'd it go? The two of you may get nervous by asking."

Eating sweets, Isaac talks.

I had a hard time choosing the topic so as not to frighten the two opponents who are odd.

But this is my first boyfriend I've ever been brought here, so I talked to him with guts.

It's been about three hours.

I had a light face-to-face appointment today, but it seemed pretty much over while we were discussing it.

Seventy percent of Isaac talked and it felt like the two of them answered.

But for what it's worth, Paul and Raymond were able to talk some normal.

"I'll see you then"

"I'll be back."

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it."

Isaac was in front of the front door to see them off.

One figure comes up there.

- It's Bridget.

She was running through the mansion yard to keep her body from blunting.

He talks to Isaac, wiping his sweat with his hands.

"Is that it? Isaac's friend?

"Yes, I am."

"Well, you've seen it before."

Probably saw him when he was coming to the mansion for Nathan.

"Isaac says he doesn't have a boyfriend. Stay close to him."

Bridget said smiling at them.

"It's Paul! Of course I'll be back!

"It's Raymond! We're already friends!

Paul and Raymond replied with the best smile of the day.

(Yeah, yeah...)

Isaac felt uninterrupted by the sight.

(I struggled so much with that, does one Bridget smile change you so much!?

- Older beautiful sister.

With one of those smiles, I never thought this would change.

Isaac was thinking this as he dropped them off in the carriage.

(I think I'll have Bridget present next time...)

If you are scared of being alone, you can have someone present to soothe the atmosphere.

Making a boyfriend makes the rest easier if you manage to get over the most difficult first encounter.

"Mr. Bridget. If it's good, why don't we chat together when our friends get here? I think it would relieve the nervousness if I had a first time speaker and a beautiful sister present."

"Uh, what are you talking about? You got a fever, too?

Usually, Isaac, a salt compatible, said "beautiful sister" about Bridget.

Bridget thought it might also be a fever, but the face is nibbling "Did you finally admit it"?

"Well, even I sympathize with your pathetic predicament. I hope you're free."

"Thank you!

(But we need to be careful not to let Bridget take everything...)

The side effects should be huge as well, as it seems like it could be expected to work.

- I'm here to see Bridget, and I'm not here to see Isaac.

To avoid being told that, a dramatic drug called Bridget should be used according to the dosage.

But I'm sure it'll be easier than dealing with it on your own.

It should be easier for the kids to accept than having adults like Norman present.

This wasn't a bad idea for Isaac, except that he looked like Bridget had won.
