It was a truly scattered day for Camille, the Knight of the Guards.

He made a huge mistake during the day and was blamed by his master, Arnold.

Else, who is familiar with childhood, is witnessing a pathetic place that is depressed and sinks.Nothing else deceived me, and when I tried to help her with her work, I dropped the laundry.

Extremely, I went out to town to buy an apology to Else, and I accidentally witnessed something terrible.

(How could this be so bad....)

In the alley through the shortcut, men and women were talking.

I thought I ran into a bad spot, and the silver-haired man looked at me and shouted.

"Oh, Camille."

"Mr. Oliver!?"

Well, I knew one of the men and one of the women.

Worse still, the blonde woman who was kissing him was someone Camille didn't know at all.

With a glossy gaze on Camille, the woman asks Oliver:

"Oliver, you know this boy?"

"Yeah, in the workplace."

Hmm.

The woman laughed at Camille as she left Oliver.

Looking at the wobbly camel, the woman giggles and laughs.Then he waved his hand at Oliver.

"Well then, it's time I went. See you later, Oliver."

"Night streets are dangerous. I'll send them."

"I don't need it. I don't know who's gonna stab me when I see you walking around."

"This is tough."

Oliver shrugs her shoulders, but she doesn't seem to think of the woman's words themselves.

The moment I interceded with a woman, I felt the smell of fluffy perfume.I thanked the woman who also waved "babble" to Camille by accidentally correcting her spine.

Afterwards, I asked Oliver with a shrill grip.

"Whoa, whoa, Mr. Oliver!! Isn't she different from the woman I saw in the city before!?"

"The other day...."

Oliver slapped his neck with a strange face.

"Who was it?"

"A beautiful woman in a red dress with long chestnut hair!"

"Oh, you mean her?"

I finally figured it out, but does it usually take that long?

Speaking of Olivers, as Arnold's servants, they always do the perfect job and treat themselves kindly, the Knights of the Guards.

The woman Oliver had with her the other day, Camille thought she was her boyfriend.But then, what is the blonde woman here now?

(Speaking of which, senpai said, 'Oliver is a visible enemy of a woman'...It doesn't mean it's too hot, is that what happened?!)

"You gave me a dumb answer.I've been out with a lot of friends lately, so I can't remember right away which woman. "

(... that seems to have happened...)

It is inconceivable for Camille to be so far away from women that she can only count the things she has gone out with.If I could have gone out with Else, I would never have forgotten it.

When I think about it, my face is cloudy when I think about my breakdown today.

……

"It's a face that doesn't float.... ah, speaking of which..."

Oliver had a smell and a refreshing smile after an unexpected face.

"Camille, do you have a little more time?"

"Am I? Yes, I've been notified."

"Great. So, if you don't mind, could you hang out with me for a drink?"

"Eh...."

I was surprised at the unexpected invitation, but there was no reason to dare refuse.

While confused, he was guided to a tavern just past the alley, where he drank on a one-on-one basis.

It is a popular tavern where ordinary people are packed in a crowd and floating loudly.

Camille, sitting at the table in the corner, glimpses Oliver of the familiar air as he puts his mouth on the mug of barley wine.

"I'm surprised Oliver drinks in a tavern like this."

"Really? I used to be a cadet too.After training, I was often pulled out by senpai. "

"... you said 'me' about yourself."

"Yeah, except at work."

That was said with a refreshing smile, and my eyes dazzled with so much beauty.

He looked incredibly well from the man's Camille.But I'm convinced that's also true.

Oliver didn't mean anything by being next to that Arnold.

The attitude of always smiling and doing work without hesitation also makes it extremely popular with women.

If a woman learns that she is Arnold's Guardian Knight, if she is told "Tell me about Arnold" ten times, she will ask about Oliver the Servant three times.

In the meantime, the woman from the tavern approached and smiled at Oliver.

Oliver also returned a soft smile, and the air flowed when something was done.But Oliver soon saw Camille.

"It's more important than that. Camille, please don't worry about today."

"... today is a beautiful woman just now..."

"That's not true. Were you depressed about Lord Arnold's reprimand?"

The words rounded Camille's eyes.

"That's...."

"You don't have to hide it.During the training, it was obvious that I had lost my energy from that moment on. "

I was ashamed to think that it had been seen so far.

The other day, the second prince, Theodore, said the same thing. Camille, you're easy to put on your face.Everyone but herself and her sister-in-law will know that she likes Else. "

"But I don't want it to sink so much.His Highness Arnold only points out to people with stretches. "

"... is that so?"

"Ah. Besides, if he hadn't admitted it in the first place, he wouldn't have been chosen by the Knights of the Kintetsu."

I wonder if Oliver invited me to encourage Camille.

"Ji, I am immature for so long that I am not able to help His Highness Arnold....."

"That's not true. Even Riesch's escort only orders people he trusts.I'm sure you've been entrusted with the task of protecting your dear fiancées because you've decided that Camille can protect you. "

……

If you say that now, you're going to cry.

Oliver smiled bitterly shaking the glass of wine.

"Nevertheless, if you say it in a tight way, you'll get hurt.Tell His Highness Arnold that I'm going to tell him..... "

"No!!"

Camille shook his head sideways in a hurry, realizing that he had been misunderstood.

"That's not true!I'm not depressed because Lord Arnold scolded me. "

Oh, really?

"Yes, this is all my problem...."

Wrapped the mug of barley wine in both hands and replied, holding it tightly.

"Today's training required a high degree of focus.But just before I finished my training, I got a little out of my mind. "

Arnold didn't miss that moment.

"It was a reprimand for saying, 'Whether it's training or not, it hurts in your mind.'I felt my sweetness when I said, "I would have died on the battlefield."There must have been some sort of slowness in training. "

"... training injuries?"

"Lord Arnold, although training is very demanding, you should always take special care of injuries during training."

Oliver smiles somehow.I didn't know why, but Camille lost sight.

"I'm depressed because of my irrationality... and my pity for dragging that depression and causing trouble to my childhood friends."

Well, I guess that's fine.

"What do you mean?"

Oliver says while drinking wine.

"Rather than being depressed by what has been scolded, people who can think about what has been scolded grow up.- His Highness Arnold will be satisfied if he sees the change. "

"... Mr. Oliver..."

My chest is burning with tingling.

Oliver smiles as if he were chasing Camille.

"Besides, it's Else who's used to childhood, isn't it?She seems to forgive me for the trouble you've caused her. "

……

That's what I was told, and now I remember Else.

When he saw Camille dropping the sheets on the ground, saying, "Carry the laundry," Else said worriedly.

"Camille, are you okay? If you're not feeling well, you should eat plenty and go to bed.... meat, fish, beans "

"Else...."

He leans down to the table and talks like he's drunk, even though he's not drunk.

"... Else is an angel..."

"Hahaha. That's very envious."

About an hour later, Camille drank three glasses of barley while talking to Oliver.

Eventually, it's time for the accounting, and Oliver says, "I'll pay here."

I declined with all my strength, but I wanted to treat Oliver, who asked me for advice, "You don't have to pay me.Instead, if the other Kintetsu Knight is worried, I want him to listen to me while drinking. "I really just have to thank you.

"... and Oliver is amazing, isn't he?"

"Yeah? What?"

"I can do my job, and I'll take care of the lower guard knights like myself."

"Ha-ha. Thank you."

What a gentle person you are!It may be a little light for a woman, but otherwise it looks like a saint.

Camille thinks so wholeheartedly and asks as he leaves the tavern.

"... and I will not be timid enough to speak to His Highness Arnold."

"Ahhh...."

Oliver turns his face a little red with alcohol while wearing his wallet in his jacket.

"It's not that hard to talk about."

"Eh!? Really?After all, to His Highness Arnold. "

"Oh, it's really not a big deal."

And Oliver speaks clearly with a fresh smile as usual.

"I can only be killed if I become Lord Arnold."

"------------------"

Even though it wasn't winter, the air felt cool.

But Oliver didn't care about that at all.

"Then you go straight back to the barracks.I have an appointment to make, so I'm going to say goodbye. "

"Ha, yes...."

I waved my hand and dropped off Oliver, who had started walking.

(After all, he's not the only one chosen for His Highness Arnold's heart....)

I vowed to work harder than myself, biting down such facts.

And a few days later, when Arnold praised him for his sword, Oliver clapped a little behind him.
