This Time, I Became the Fiance of a Duke’s Daughter. But She is Rumored to have Bad Personality, and Ten Years Older

"Now, what about this fool who rambled on his friend and his friend's fiancé?

Lars asks looking at Drew, who is covered in tsu and unable to move.

"I apologize for what Drew said. So will you just forgive me for this one time?

"If I can promise never to say a malicious word against Olivier again, I don't mind missing it this time"

I'd like to tighten it up and hurt you like this if I could, but I decided to curb my anger at Drew for Laurenz.

Visibly relieved Laurenz.

"Like Drew? You should be able to speak up. Right now, I hear you. I will not tolerate ramblings against Olivier again. All right?"

"Ha, ha..."

The anger that I was suppressing on Drew, who still sounded so pitiful that he was about to cry, fogged away. It just seemed futile to move a little emotion on a man who couldn't resist or have the courage to thank him.

When he tells Tsu of his magic powers, Tsu, under Jared's orders, returns to the ground in captivity.

Laurenz approaches Drew, open from Ts, and tries to speak up. But Drew escaped as a result of the detachment.

"Hey, can I leave you alone?

"Don't worry, I didn't hurt you."

"But if that guy was noble, wouldn't that cause him to rub it with Murphy?

Krista's questions are perfect.

But Laurenz says he doesn't have to worry.

"He is not a nobleman. Your father seemed aristocratic, but he wasn't."

"Hmm. So his house has fallen."

"... I chose the word, but don't be so clear!

"He hasn't heard it in person anyway, so it won't matter. But I hope he doesn't plan anything against Jared from now on."

"Raulenz, I'm sorry, but if you're close to Drew, will you watch how things go for a while?

Things don't always happen because Lars says so, but I decide to ask Laurenz in case. I didn't mean to do surveillance, but I didn't realize it until I asked it to be a very pleasant thing.

"I'm sorry. It doesn't mean I'm close to Drew."

"What does that mean?

"Berta and Kurt and I have been dating for a long time, and Drew met as a team in a school internship class. After that, I was with nature because I used to organize a lot in class, but he seems to have close friends with him."

"Drew uses Raulenz!

"Okay, Berta. That story was over before."

"But!

Berta, the girl around Raulenz, can be tempted, but she doesn't try to pull it off because she seems to have something on Drew.

"What happened to him?

When Krista, the same sex, asks, Berta tries to open her mouth. But I asked Laurenz anxiously.

"... ok. I don't mind talking."

Getting recognition from Laurenz, Berta says.

"Drew is a magician, but his grades were poor and his progress was in jeopardy. But Laurenz was able to help us through the years."

"Personal grades weren't very good, but once Laurenz and his internship with us were appreciated, Drew wanted to work with Laurenz."

Kurt also joined the conversation so as to supplement Berta.

"With the exception of some of the polar students who are exempt from classes from school like Jared Murphy, Raulenz's prowess is top notch. Everyone wanted to put together, but they didn't like us being used by Raulenz."

"But Drew did a good job," he said.

"Yes, I tried to get in with Raulenz, who wouldn't hesitate to reach out to those in need. It wasn't particularly harmful, but I still can't help but wonder what the intent might have been to get close."

"Something intended?

Perhaps Berta thinks Drew has approached Laurenz for reasons other than grades.

The Jareds don't even know Drew's sincerity.

But if Berta and Kurt, who stayed by Laurenz's side, were all there to suspect, something would have happened to them.

"Enough, please don't"

Raulenz, who was silent, spoke quietly.

Berta, who was about to say the rest, stops moving and stiffens.

The relationship between the three was not felt to be a friend, but a subordinate.

"Even if Drew came close to using me, it wasn't particularly harmful. Besides, there have always been similar people. I just want you to be concerned about that now."

"But..."

"Berta, I know exactly what you're going to do about me. But I'm fine. All right?"

"... Yes"

Reluctantly, Berta nodded, and Kurt didn't try to say anything.

"But I sincerely appreciate that you care about me. Thanks."

The expressions of gratitude of Laurenz broke their faces with delight.

"Jared, I'm sorry it's been weird. I don't think Drew is such a bad guy either. I want time because I'm gonna find time to tell you exactly what's going on today."

"Yeah, but can I leave my problems to you?

"I don't mind. Sure, it may be Jared's problem, but Drew is a friend to me. Once again, I apologize for what happened."

"Apologize is fine, just let me keep my word"

"Okay. Jared, again, I'm sorry about today. I'm really sorry Lars and Oaken got into this on my own."

To Laurenz, who bowed his head deeply, Berta and Kurt also continue.

"Give me your head. Even I have a cause. So let's treat each other."

"Thank you"

"And what... well, next time we'll discuss witchcraft. Even when it comes to earth attribute magicians, I think Laurenz, who specializes in land attributes, is better. So if we can exchange information with each other, I wonder if we can grow up with each other?

"- Oh! Absolutely!"

"Then it's a promise. Tomorrow at noon, but keep the time open."

Tell him so. Jared offered his right arm.

"Waiting for fun"

Laurenz grips Jared's hand forcefully.

"Of course, Berta and Kurt are definitely with us if it's convenient"

"Thank you!

"We will be with you!

Two delighted to be able to accompany Laurenz. And

"Then I'll join you. I'm not a magician, but I know a lot about magic."

"I'll join you. It's interesting to see how Jared and Laurenz can thrive on sorcery rigging."

Looking forward to tomorrow's noon, I'm going back to the school building because I'm in a class that has already begun.

Jared also tries to go to class today, but Lars pulled it off.

"Wait, Jared. I just need to talk to a friend."

"What the fuck?

"It's about Laurenz. You'd better think someone set this up."

"What do you mean?

"There exists a person who is intentionally circulating information, and it is believed that that person has some purpose. The same goes for my engagement with Olivier Alway, and the rumours about my candidacy for court magician, but I just think I've set it up so someone can rub it when it comes to Laurenz"

"You're lying, aren't you?

Sure enough, Jared wasn't doing well with Laurenz. Anyone in the school knows that they still thought it annoying to stick around if they were just being viewed as rivals.

In this one case, it could have been a plus for Jared that the misconception he took for granted that Laurenz hated himself. But that's all.

Even the negative side occurs.

With Laurenz boarding into the classroom and exposing his anger in front of the students, which Jared assumed was fraudulent, new rumors would be tailing and flowing among the students by now.

Some students must think it's just a rumor and funny, while others seriously think Jared did something wrong.

If you see that your relationship with Laurenz has improved, you may find that if you had time, the rumors were preposterous rumors. But before that happens, there is a chance that the next problem will arise.

"I am convinced, no doubt, that someone purposefully spreads rumors and burns Laurenz. Drew will probably be involved as well. Perhaps the mastermind has something to think of you, Jared."

Usually Lars acting weird at my pace, but sometimes it gets as serious as I thought.

I don't know if it's true, but I've heard that Lars is a genius and that's the level where you don't need to take classes. I forget that we usually talk, but there were several times when I knew ten on my own without having to ask one.

It is still unclear whether he is a magician or not, but he is also deeply involved in magic, and has not once or twice given Jared any advice.

That's what Lars says, so there must be a good basis for him.

"You should ask Krista to circulate new rumors to the student council that rumors are mistakes. I heard from her that Jared's topic is getting too big at the student council and she's thinking about putting out the fire. I'm sure you'll be working with me soon."

"Okay. I'll tell him right away. What am I supposed to do? Better not come to school for a while?

"That could be one solution -"

to do it, Lars said, laughing.

"- That sounds like you lost and it's not funny. Instead, come every day if you don't have a request from the Sorcerer's Association."

"Superior. I'll take classes at last."

"But I don't take it. It's a hassle."

"You cheat!

"Never mind. I'm gonna put my face on the school for a while, too, so that's good, right? I have to help my sister, I've been a little busy lately."

Jared trusts Lars. The same goes for the reason that I'm a friend, but because I know very well that I'm a trustworthy person. Lars has never lied. I hate falsehood. That's why I can trust his words.

"Damn, he's a freak, but he's got some good friends."

"My friends are freaks enough too. But you can't deny that you're a good friend. Krista and Laurenz, who have been friends since today, are good friends."

"I agree."

Jared sincerely thought that he didn't go into the school building and noticed Krista and Laurenz waiting for him at the entrance and got a really good friend.
