[1 Talk about the beauty of Riesch]

"What's strange about my thanks?

Before the evening party began, Riesch, who was waiting in the waiting room beside the hall, asked, and Arnold, who was sitting on the chair, raised his gaze.

"What's weird?

"Didn't you say that when you first met His Highness?"The foot judgment is not for ordinary ladies."

"... ahh"

When he hit Arnold, Riesch gave an extremely polite thank you for deceiving him of what he called the Emperor.

He laughed when he said so.

─ Looks like a first-class swordsman.

Arnold put his cheek cane on the armrest, as he remembered.

"I didn't say it was weird.I just pointed out that it wasn't the ordinary noble lady's movements, it was the knights and the swords. "

"That's it. I'm a" normal noble lady. "

The days I spent as "Duchess" were before the rewind point.For Riesch, who has repeated it many times, it feels like a distant past.

(I may have forgotten to behave like a prostitute because I have lived in various professions.)

If that's the case, it's important.

"If there is anything unnatural about the movement, it needs to be corrected.It will be a stain on my fiancé, His Highness Arnold. "

Leachet herself is proud of her movements as a swordsman.

It doesn't matter if it lowers your own rating.But this time, life is a princess and queen.

As a fiancé, you must avoid causing trouble to Arnold.

"It won't get dirty."

"Say that again.Does anyone even complain to His Highness Arnold about choosing the Duchess of a weaker country?

Riesch stands in front of Arnold and picks the hem of the light light light light blue dress.

And after thanking him once, he raised his face and cut his neck.

"Now, please feel free to point it out.Should I fix the movement when I pull my leg back?Or how to shift the center of gravity?

Saana

"Already, Your Highness!

Reescher protests against Arnold, who turned his back on him.

"Because I don't know these things myself.I need you to take responsibility for what you pointed out. "

"I apologize if it bothers you.But there's no need for correction. "

"But are these the only attitudes of the ladies?I've looked in the mirror many times, but I still don't know for myself.It may be troublesome for you, but also for His Highness..... "

Arnold sighed at Riesch.

"... you don't seem to have enough words for me anyway."

Huh?

A hand with black gloves caught Riesch's wrist.

Arnold looked up straight at us and said without distraction.

"--It's beautiful, so I'm telling you not to fix it."

"............"

Riesch took an unexpected breath.

Remember the context of the conversation after a moment of strange misunderstanding.The true meaning of Arnold's words came down like thunder.

(... 'Attitude'!!!

As she fell into her heart, Riesch immediately corrected her spine.

When Arnold took his hand off Riesch, he said it was flat as usual.

"Don't think about being my dirty spot.You just have to behave like you are. "

"But"

"Those who are in the hall in the first place will not realize that your body judging is that of a swordsman.You can think of it as mine. "

"... I see..."

"Oh, so don't force yourself to bend the beauty of what you've earned so far alive just because you're going to be a princess."

If you say it like that, Riesch can only nod honestly.

"Now, I will continue to act as a swordsman with dignity....."

"Fu"

Arnold soothes his expression satisfactorily.

"That's fine."

(You don't have to look so gentle...!!

Instead of speaking, Rieschetto sat down on the bench in a shy manner.I think we need to wait here a little longer before the evening party starts.



[2 About the size of the hand]

Richie doesn't hate losing.There are a lot of amazing people in the world, and I know I can't fight them.

However, only Arnold, who could never win, occasionally had a little confrontation.

It was the same this day.

After a chat, the conversation turned to Arnold's sword, and Riesch lent it to me.

Instead of pulling out of the sheath, Richie expressed her candid feelings by just taking a stance in the courtyard.

"Lord Arnold's sword is a little difficult for me to handle...."

As he lowered his eyebrows while returning the sword, Arnold returned it as he received it.

"That would be true.You and I have different muscle strengths and hands in the first place. "

"Mm.... I won't deny your strength, but your hand is bigger than yours.

Otherwise, the size of the hand didn't determine anything, but Riesch somehow felt like saying something.

"When I went to college, I was older than any other girl I'd ever been with."

With that said, raise your right hand to chest level and point your palm towards Arnold.

And when he looked into his eyes, Arnold frowned for a while.

"... what's that face waiting for?

I hope His Highness Arnold gives me his hand.

"Why?"

"I want to compare the size of each other's hands...."

Explained, the wrinkles between eyebrows became deeper and deeper.

"I don't think it's worth comparing."

"That may be so.But don't you want to prove it anyway?

This must be the nature of the alchemist's life.No matter how hypothetically and theoretically you think it will be, you cannot be sure that you will not actually try it.

……

Arnold sighed and ended up putting on a black glove, just like Richie did.

Thank you, Your Highness.

All right, let's go.

Riesch quickly touches her hand and aligns her wrist first.

The fingertips of Riesch's right hand do not reach the first joint of Arnold's fingers.

"... it's not comparable."

"If you look at something like that, you'll see...."

"But I didn't expect it to be this different until I repeated it."

I thought you knew that Arnold's hands were too big.However, I feel it again after looking at it.

(Somehow)

Leesher glanced at each other's palms overlapping each other.

"... a man's hand, right?"

……

Shin, the courtyard was filled with silence.

I realize that I've spoken of the obvious, and I'm kind of embarrassed.

I lost my sight, but my overlapping hands stayed the same.

"Ah, uh, I didn't think so before.My hands are going to be completely hidden, you know. "

"... hmm"



Arnold bent the first joint of his finger loosely.

Then the area around Riesch's nails will be pushed into his fingertips.

The defenseless right hand became weakly wrapped in Arnold's hand and looked up at him in surprise.

I see.

Arnold says this with a slightly offensive smile and a challenging expression.

"... a woman's hand, huh?

……

At that moment, my cheeks suddenly became hot.

(Maybe....)

Perhaps this state of overlapping hands is shameful.

When Riesch hurried away, Arnold rang his throat with a mean expression.I know that it is a toy, but I can't complain because it was Richie who started it.

"If you want a sword, let me make something for you.You don't have to deal with the same sword as a man. "

"... yes..."

Back to business, Arnold started walking, so Riesch followed him and took a step out of the courtyard.

Even though I was touching it with gloves, I felt it was kind of hot.

I looked at my right hand again with wonder.
