About a week has passed since the First Prince's birthday party ended. On such a day, the usual board members are to meet in the student meeting room.
Already gathered are Miss Sofia, along with Alicia and His Highness the Alpha Force. Then there were a few servants, including me, who were members of the same student buying group, that is, members who were knowledgeable.
But if you look at it differently, you suddenly get more nervous.
Sophia and I became the parents' approved fiancée candidate.
And finally, Alicia, the Viscount's daughter, who showed me without concealing her favorite feelings, and the Second Prince of this country, who is in love with Miss Sofia, who has been engaged to me through her parents.
In other words, it is a square relationship.
A delicate relationship between political marriage and love.
However, Alicia has grown much more resiliently than the original, and His Highness the Alpha Force is becoming an equally fine prince. There is nothing wrong with exposing your heart to the air.
So it's normal on the surface.
But - no, why should I say that? Everyone is choosing a word, which is why the air is stretched. For those who can read the hearts of their slaughtered souls, the air here is unbearable. And unfortunately, there's not a single servant here who can't guess what's inside them.
That's why...
"Dear Sofia,"
Alicia called out to Miss Sofia. With an unusual tone, Alicia's face even smiled calmly. But the servants, including me, are all frightened.
In the meantime, Alicia continued in a calm tone.
"Well, it's nice weather today," she said.
“Today is a good day."
It is not uncommon for a nobleman to have a double or triple meaning in his words. If you read it wrong, it is not uncommon to expose yourself to an outrageous breakdown later.
Therefore, the person who answers will also be asked about caution.
For example - I agree with Alicia here.
The next moment, "Oh, do you think so? It's a good day for me too, but I thought it would rain in blood tomorrow."
I can't tell you that there is no case.
But I can't easily deny it.
I will deny that there is no such thing here.
The next moment, "Oh, the weather looks good. You also think it's a sham to be engaged to Cyril."
I can't say it's not a case.
Of course, Alicia doesn't intend that.
But Alicia isn't the only one who takes fried feet. And even if you don't say it, it's not unlikely that any of the servants here will misunderstand what I just said.
The world of nobility is very troublesome and very scary.
Of course, you probably think too much. But I don't know where the mines are. Agreeing to good weather alone cannot deny the possibility of an unexpected conflict.
So, this place is wrapped in strange tension.
Results -
"Does Alicia like good weather?
What Sophia talked about was the technique of answering questions and returning questions. As a result, Miss Sofia escaped, but now Alicia is exposed to the same crisis.
Melissa, her exclusive maid, blushed.
However, Alicia has grown considerably in the past year or so.
Problems that cannot be dealt with by themselves are shaken by those who can deal with them. Of course, you may be questioned about your processing ability, but it's a clean way to understand your abilities.
I mean...
"Si, what do you think of Cyril?"
It's me!
It's about the weather on the surface, probably not behind it, just the weather. But I'm the candidate for Miss Sofia's fiancée, and Alicia seems to be suggesting the status quo of her engagement to me.
It sucks to shake me in this situation!
Guuu... definitely, Alicia just wanted to talk about the weather in order to manage this air. Even if you know that, a poor response can lead to misunderstandings that do not require a response.
But I am Miss Sofia's personal butler and her fiancée candidate.
It's not just a political marriage. Miss Sofia wanted it, and I wanted to be her fiancée again. I can never make a statement that loses such a position.
And we need to make that decision so that we don't let this place fall into a cul-de-sac.
"... speaking of the weather, do you all know it? They say Flamefield is warm enough to swim in the ocean at this time of year."
One of my deepest hands is to change the subject thoroughly.
Careful attention was also paid to rhetoric and topics to avoid good misunderstandings.
"Oh, is that so?
Miss Sofia showed the most interest. Then Alicia and His Highness the Alpha Force stepped forward to show an intriguing appearance.
I'm sure everyone wants to manage this air.
Of course, Miss Sofia is really interested. He said he wanted to try swimming in the sea when he was staying at the student union.
When I thought of it, Miss Sofia glanced at me and smiled. You remembered that - and it felt like your eyes were talking.
I smile back silently, and then I resume the Flamefield conversation with everyone.
Flamefield Country.
The kingdom of His Royal Highness Prince Harold and Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte, who studied abroad the other day.
In contrast to being a magic advanced country, the general technology is slightly behind schedule. It is a friendly country where common technology is more developed than magic, and a beneficial deal can be made for the Ephesian country.
Incidentally, the regular flights of the magic airship connect to the King's City, and if you can ride it, you can go back and forth in a few days. There is also the problem that regular flights are once a month and cannot be used unless they are of sufficient status.
Such a flamefield, the climate is completely different from that of Ephenia. As the name suggests, it has become a very warm land.
"That's why some people in Flamefield are swimming by the sea by now."
"It's the swimsuit Cyril used to say, right? But it's about civilians, isn't it?
His Highness the Alpha Force tilted his neck. In contrast, while agreeing that "the aristocrats in this country don't like exposing their skin very much," I continued, "but..."
"Flamefield, as I said, has a very warm climate all year round. That's why their outfits are relatively exposed, so there's no resistance to swimsuits."
"Ah... speaking of which, His Highness Harold and His Highness Charlotte were quite thin..."
His Highness the Alpha Force lost sight for a moment.
The expression "thin clothes" is probably the result of a considerable choice of words. For the aristocrats of this country, it is no wonder the word "hallench" comes out.
This country is a lot cooler, so they should have felt more comfortable than usual.
What are you talking about? Senpai Fol just showed up there. She stood in front of her seat listening to us.
"So let's stay together!
I said something abrupt.
"Is it a camp...?
Miss Sofia answers the question on behalf of everyone.
"That's right. Cyril became Sofia's fiancé candidate, and Alicia's parents checked in on you and Cyril's engagement to the Rosenberg family, and Al seems to be in the middle of something, and they're all freaking out, right?
This guy's got it all! Everyone couldn't say it, and even though I was choosing words in a very tingling air, I blew it all up. That's too much.
Of course, I'm not the only one who's surprised, but everyone who was there has lost their words.
"What, you look surprised. You all have the same information, right? And yet, it's counterproductive to worry about the other person and not talk about it, and the result is tingling air."
Now we all shut up in a different way.
After all, I realized that Senpai Fol was right.
At least I was aware of everyone's thoughts. Somewhat differently, Miss Sofia, Alicia, and perhaps Lord Alford, knew who they were thinking.
It was only visualized through engagement interviews, etc.
"... indeed, Senpai Fol is right. As you know, Cyril has become my fiancée candidate, but I don't want to be alienated from you."
It was Miss Sofia who cut it out first.
And I was moved by the words.
That's what Miss Sofia said. I know how Alford and Alicia feel. Cyril became his fiancée candidate, but he didn't have to be shy about it.
In a sense, it is not strange to be taken as weak. Some people may take it that I don't value being a potential engagement candidate.
But it's not.
Miss Sofia has made an extraordinary effort to make me a fiancée.
That's why I know how much your daughter values my relationship. She also wants to take care of her friends.
The young lady I danced with Alicia was about to fall into darkness.
Miss, I think I've grown up again someday. And while I'm touched, Alicia and His Highness the Alpha Force follow Miss Sofia.
And then I got everyone's eyes on me.
"I agree. I really want to take care of your friendship."
Friendship, not friendship.
I'm not going to make a mistake about what's best, but what I'm saying is true.
And they all nodded,
That's why we're staying here.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's that supposed to mean? I leaned my neck.
"So, why do you care if it stays the same? We're all staying together to get over it. I'm going swimming in Flamefield, as you said!
Isn't that all you want to do? Nevertheless, nobody penetrated.
