October 10.

This is Isaac's thirteenth birthday, but there is no custom in this world to celebrate his birthday specially.

For that reason, I lived my daily life as usual.

"I lost again"

This day, I was doing sword arches with friends like Paul and Raymond.

Of all the kids his age, Isaac was the weakest.

"Isaac has a habit of slowing down when he has a chance to attack."

A knight entrusted with mentoring points to Isaac's bad habits.

"Oh, I was just wondering if I could slap my friend."

Though wearing skinned armor, the sword uses a wooden knife.

If I got slapped, there was quite a bit of shock and pain.

Isaac was hesitant to slap him.

Depending on who you hate, there will be a big difference between whether you can do harm or not.

"Please don't. Well, then, I guess I'm a terrible guy."

To that dialogue, Paul protests.

Isaac has already carried out the act of "killing Nathan and Melinda".

Yet I don't hesitate to slap Isaac against him either.

Because I felt like I was being treated like a hell of a bad guy.

"Dear Isaac, it's rude of them to get out of hand during these auditions. You should fight him properly."

"I know..."

Isaac exhales.

Even in my previous life, I couldn't really get into it when I was in Kendo class.

If you have feelings of hate, you can also kill people.

But the kind of thing that hurts someone you don't hate may be a brake hanging somewhere in your heart.

(It's extreme...)

I think so myself, but all this seems hard to enforce because it's instinctive.

"I wonder if it's not for the sword"

Unexpectedly, those words spill.

"Yeah, you are."

"Isaac should concentrate on something other than the sword."

"Yep..."

To Paul and Raymond, ruthless words are thrown.

"Normally it's not, is it?

"'Cause Isaac's smart, isn't he? You should try your best on that side."

"You don't have to do as much as a sword. I need you to leave me something I can support."

When they said this, Isaac had a hard time complaining any more.

They seem to want Isaac's support.

"Better handling of swords and protecting Isaac" is probably one option for the future.

Most importantly, they chose that direction because of the difficulty of "assisting Isaac with his ideas".

Given Isaac's behavior so far, I know it's very difficult to understand.

So he was trying to help me with something other than assisting me with my thoughts.

"If that's the case, well... But at the very least, we need to be able to use it."

Isaac also believed that someone would protect him, and he didn't want to leave his sword arm untrained.

When someone is after you for your life, you'll be able to buy time if you can at least fight.

Can you buy me time to come and help?

The difference between being killed lightly as it is is is huge.

I wanted to work out a little so I could fight.

"We need to be able to beat it right first."

"That's right. Let's start there. Isaac, don't hesitate to smash it!

"Raymond! Isn't that too much to say because they're not who they are?

Seeing the interaction between the two, Isaac's cheeks loosen.

This kind of exchange without other love can be a big difference without it.

I feel the difference between the situation until four years ago.

"Dear Isaac, tea is ready"

The maid who came will let you know that the tea time has come.

I just got a paragraph, so Isaac and the others decided to take a break.

----------

Even though it was moving and warming, the October air is still chilly.

A warm cup of tea in the mansion makes me horny.

Raymond opened his mouth when he took a breath.

"Speaking of which, aren't you going to Dwarf City? It sounds kind of funny just to see."

"I'm interested, hey. I wonder if there's a good start. Besides, if you're going to Dwarf City, if you don't go to the elves, you're going to crush your face... But elves have a little bit of food."

It was going to the "Elf Village" that Isaac didn't quite get into action.

The food in the elves is japanese-style and intriguing.

But it was Mathias' fault for the bee child who fed him here to keep Isaac on his feet.

If the elves were "because they are nutritious" and mainly insect food, Isaac wouldn't likely eat them very much.

Bridget also came to Wellrod initially to catch the garden kools and ask the kitchen to "fry them vegetables".

It's not just the size of the chest that Isaac, when he's about age, doesn't attract interest to Bridget as heterosexual.

"If I were to be a lover, would I kiss my worm-eating mouth..." I would pull it off.

I'm not going to say "don't eat" or anything because I respect their food culture, but I don't think I want to.

I really try to avoid it.

Instead of not going to the village of Elves, I didn't want to.

Yet only going to the city of Dwarf threatens to seem "underestimated" by the elves.

As a result, I was not going to either.

"I know it's a question of whether the food fits, but Mr. Claude and Mr. Bridget usually eat human food, right? Then you can have some elf rice, too?

Paul, who doesn't know that he eats insects, asks a question with a cookie on his cheek.

"Um, well, I guess I'm not good at it because I'm a little bit of a character"

Isaac answers with care for the words.

Because there's no need to break Paul or Raymond's longing for Bridget.

"But I'd like to go sometime."

Take me with you then.

"I want to go to a different kind of village or something!

"Fine. I don't know when."

Isaac, too, was going to visit the village of Elves one day, ready.

It would be more comfortable to have a companion (along the way) at that time.

If they would come with me of their own free will, there was no reason to refuse it.

"I guess after next year if I were to go. It's almost time to go to Wangdu."

We both agreed that visiting this season would be intrusive.

It's also painful to make people waste food, fuel, etc. they're saving to get past the winter.

You don't have to bother going after spring.

Some thought it would be better to have Morgan's permission, the foreign minister.

"I wonder if there's a whole cup of people like Mr. Bridget"

You imagine a village full of beautiful women, Raymond smiles full face.

"You have Abigail."

Paul sees what it means to have a fiancée but to be seen by other beautiful women.

"That's it, this is this. It's not like I want to marry an elf woman, it's okay."

Try Raymond, and I guess Bridget is like an idol.

I'm not the subject I want to marry, maybe I'm just satisfied to see it as an admirable being.

"Paul, you don't think you can marry Mr. Bridget or anything, do you?

"That's right... Isaac makes it hard to decide who your fiancée is, so you can dream about it for a little while."

"Uh, me? I didn't do anything!

Isaac doesn't remember interrupting a friend's engagement story.

Isaac is surprised by the slurs he doesn't remember.

"The problem is I didn't do anything."

"Why?"

They say it's bad because they haven't done anything, and Isaac's confusion reaches its limits.

Because I have no idea what that means.

Paul, who sees Isaac as not understanding, will explain it to Isaac properly.

"If you don't have a fiancée to succeed the Marquis, it's because every parent with a daughter goes for a chance. There's something about Randolph and Lucia."

"Uh, well."

Explained to Paul, Isaac finally understood.

(Speaking of which, I thought Lisa also said it was hard to decide on a fiancée because of a free girl in the same grade)

Though Paul is the eldest son of the Viscount family, he is not a house with a deputy position.

I guess there are parents who would rather try to hang on to the possibility of keeping their daughter free and getting Isaac to choose one way or the other than going ahead with her engagement to a less powerful house.

So Isaac understood that he was having trouble finding a girl who didn't quite fit the criteria.

"Make up your mind."

"Wait till you graduate from college. Besides, Paul doesn't mean anybody does, does he? You should expect to meet good people at the academy."

"Um, is that true, too? Is it more likely that there are still better kids left to look for in college than there are in a hurry to decide to get engaged to a weird kid"

In response to Isaac, Paul calculated and quickly derived the answer.

It might be a better condition for a girl who is unable to decide on a fiancée, thinking that she "might be chosen by Isaac" than a girl who "can decide on a fiancée" at this stage.

No, that's more likely.

If so, I thought I might find someone better after I became a student than to have my parents find someone right now for me to actually talk to a girl and then decide whether to get engaged or not.

'Cause I'm not doing it offensively.'

"Yeah, I don't think that's so mean."

Paul seems to have figured it out, and Isaac is relieved.

(But it means I'm bothering boys my age. I hope I don't get hubbed in college)

I get anxious to have a boyfriend when I become a student.

Isaac was only thinking about the boy side at this time.

What does the girl side think of Isaac's situation of no fiancée?

Maybe I should have worked my imagination a little.
