I couldn't hear what Duke and Eric were talking about at all.
I guess Gramps would be able to hear them. ...Maybe Alicia would be able to hear them too.
"I wonder what they're talking about~"
Mel looked at them with strained eyes. Duke was talking nonchalantly, but I could see Eric's expression getting more and more serious.
What the hell was he saying?
I concentrated on the way Duke's lips moved. I was better at mind-reading than lip-reading, but Duke didn't sho...

"So who are we going to target? That fat guy?"
Mel crawls into the bushes, her eyes darting about.
Only Duke was left standing as she forced us to sit in the bushes, leaning forward to look for a target.
It was pointless for us to hide.
"Oh, what about the glasses guy over there? Or that bookworm girl sitting over there?"
"First, they must be someone who is smitten with Liz."
Mel gasped at Henry's words and stuck her tongue out a little.

Daniel Works Hard!
"...I refuse."
Daniel's face darkened as he sighed.
He had not shaken his head in front of the Imperial merchants, who came to the Kingdom while taking advantage of the social season, once.
Although he had heard about it from the rumors, the price of cotton fabric this year was simply outrageous. And the worst part was that its quality was awful too. When he compared it to House Stuart's silk, which he saw almost every day, he could ...

Political players have it tough. Cam and Nicholas would like to find evidence to use as a foothold to move things in their favor, but will that happen before my death flags arrive?
"Setup [Switch Dress]"
That's why I was working undercover this time. What was the reason? To put it simply, I was angry and wanted to retaliate.
With an item that I found in the depths of my bag for an event, I temporarily dyed my dress black, put on a visor to cover my eyes, and went down to a f...

Darius Who?
"Darius? ...Aren't you Darius?!"
After the knight left, Robert was at a loss for what to do and stayed at the same spot for hours. However, no one came to help him. When the sky began turning dark, Robert started walking reluctantly toward a shabby nearby village. There, an old woman with a bent waist talked to him.

I knew I couldn't let him escape, so I used 6th class area magic [Thunder Rain], but this would normally kill a human being unless his magic defense was high, right?
If he died within five minutes, he could be revived, but searching for him in such a dense forest would be too difficult.
