"Are you sure you're leaving? I wish I could have dinner anyway."

"It's just too late for that. The sun is already leaning."

After such a conversation, Aoshiro was dropped off by Chloe and left her house.

The city is in the midst of a long autumn evening, stained and glowing with dusk everywhere.

Aoshiro aimed for his own boarding house in the mountain hand of the island, walking relaxed.

There are trams and carriages in this city, but now I feel like walking.

The city in the evening will be out of work and back to school. There are many people, and the voices are very busy calling in customers in shops everywhere.

"I'm back now"

Opening the front door of the boarding house, an old lady of good quality - Madame Therese, who runs this boarding house, was just passing by.

"Oh, welcome home, Mr. Souzillow. Good luck with the entrance ceremony. Is dinner okay on time?

Whatever this boarding house is, the food is delicious. I was to come in here because of the introduction of my uncle, who is treated like a stranger within the clan, but Aoshiro is quite grateful to him in this regard.

"Yeah, so please"

"Yes, yes. Something had arrived. I sent her to your room."

"Ok, thanks for everything"

Has my uncle received anything else? Or has my family worried and sent me all sorts of things in the country?

With that in mind, I gently bow my head to Madam and then head to my room upstairs.

And put your hands on the door knob...

"Hey, it's no use hiding."

……

"I'm saying it's no use, Riordo. Come out."

"... how do you know you're Ninja or the Ninja Master"

"You're too big a figure. And this is the third time you've been hiding behind a figurine there, and most importantly, you're not hiding."

When I told him that, he finally snuggled out of the shadow of the figurine.

Stunning blonde hair, six feet - one hundred and eighty centimeters would have height and even muscles commensurate with it. The sculpture is deep and 'masculine', but there may be some object because it means it's from an English nobleman.

Rio de Ashcroft.

This boarding house fellow, he's also a freshman at the Alstromerian School.

"Hey, I got something for you, didn't I? I was wondering if it might have something from Smeramicuni in it, ukiyoe or something."

"Normally, I don't think there's a floating picture to send."

"Don't you know? Originally, the ukiyoe was used instead of some kind of buffer for cracks..."

... He has a rash in the Imperial Kingdom. They say that everything is influenced by British parents. Even when Aoshiro found out he was royal, that was a big shag.

"Okay, okay. Damn, you're really familiar with our country in a weird place... Well, if that's the case, get in. Instead, help me unpack."

"That's Souzillow! If you have a ukiyoe, lend it to me."

"No, maybe not... maybe"

Let Riordo help (even though Riordo would have liked to help even if he tried to kick out the room) while they unpack from their parents' house, the two talk about today's admission ceremony.

"I'll never forget your confident, proud face on the stage."

"You. That's what Souzillo looked like on the stage."

I didn't do it.

"No, you were."

At the time of today's announcement of the top seat, Riordo was' called ahead 'of Aoshiro. His seat comes fourth. Aoshiro is seventh.

"Souzillo's partner was an unusual hairy kid, tall and..."

"I think it's mostly lower than Rio's. Well, I think the color of her hair is changing. You don't have such brilliant green hair. You..."

"What about our partner, that's so cute! I just wanted to say..."

Stop Riordo from taking his luggage out of the crate and sigh. What the hell is bothering this man who is as luxurious as he looks?

"but?"

"Well, whatever it looks like, the contents are pretty. It's hard to say..."

scratching his blonde hair with big hands, then he said.

"I'm French. So, I'm from England."

"... or"

I'm not sure about Aoi Shiro, but his neighbors England and France across the strait have historically been deeply responsible, and they're still not close to something... Apparently.

... In the emperor's kingdom, is it like the certainty of the east and the west? and Aoshiro decided to blur and understand.

"So I've already been twisted from the beginning."

"Still, we were acting together after the admissions ceremony, weren't we?

"He didn't look me in the eye, he never spoke to me from the other side, even from this side, it was just a short reply. I saw it a little bit, but it seemed pretty good to me."

"Sounds good or something..."

Aoshiro recalls today.

I wonder if it's because I'm an international student from the East because this one sees it, at first I was quite possessed, and I was worried if I understood the language. I don't have to feel quite rude as an attitude towards an otherwise equal partner, but I guess it's a lot better than a tuned attitude like Rio's partner.

"Rather than feel good, be nice, something like that."

"That's a luxury. I guess that's what I want to get along with you."

"That kind of thing, is it?

"Damn, I envy you.... Oh, nice bottle of this shoyu. I can feel it. If you run out of content, give it to me."

"... it's just a bottle of soy sauce without any weird philosophy. In other words, I think it would be just wild if Pi and Ya were mixed up."

Aoshiro takes a glance at a large bottle of soy sauce that is common in the imperial kingdom. It looks pretty good because it is somewhat expensive rather than a product for ordinary people, but the soy sauce bottle is still a soy sauce bottle.

"Oh really... Chi and Ya... and wild... that's deep...!

Ha, and Aoshiro sighs.

Perhaps it is a common feature of Westerners to be able to be. Rio and Chloe are getting oddly sticky.

"Well, let me see you properly next time."

"You want me to meet you?

"To your partner. I'll introduce you to my partner too!

"... think about it. For now, you need to be able to interact properly."

It was the newspaper, not the floating picture, that was laid as a buffer at the bottom of the crate, but still Riordo wrote, "It has a lot of letters about the emperor kingdom (Sueramiku)! It's exotic!" I was so happy, I guess it's no problem.

"Speaking of which, what are you gonna do with the club?

"Hmm, a club job..."

Aoshiro often thinks, stopping the hand of sorting the hagiles sent.

"Why don't you join the fencing club as Samurai from Smeramikuni?

"Fencing... western swordsmanship? Not bad, but a literary club would be nice anyway. What about you?"

"I used to do archery at my parents' house...... that's archery! Yeah, why don't you come too? Bow, can you do it? I hear that a first-rate samurai can do swords and bows."

Aoshiro replies coldly to Hashagu Riordo as he tries to pull the bow.

"You, you're not listening to me. I like literary work. Right...... I like that kind of club, like I can read a lot of Western books"
