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...

"Count Arceides. Could you please explain what this is all about?"

"...gugu."

Now that the Count of Arceides' assassination attempt on the royal family had been discovered, it appeared that the situation would no longer be the same.

According to Cam, or rather His Royal Highness Camille, His Majesty the King was involved behind the scenes, and even if the charges were presented as they were, there was a chance that they would...

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.

"Huh? Darius? Who the hell? Oi, Old Hag. Who do you think I am? Don't talk to me so casually..."

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.

I wanted to know their background, but there was no point in dwelling on what had already been done. --I suppose Camille-sama and the others might ask me why I didn't catch him?

"Y-you...!"

Camille-sama gasped in surprise at my sudden transformation.

That expression, along with his boyish smile, reminds me of a single person in my memory.

(...He's the boy from that night.)

"We'll talk later. First, I'm going to exterminate them."

After fully recovering my HP/MP using my race abilities, I applied my full physical strengthening and leaped out onto the battlefield.

Bear-san, Cheering for Shia. Part 1

While we were discussing Noa's birthday, the wind magic target shooting continued. Some students not only cut the target using [wind blade], but also destroyed it with [air bullet]. I guess that means each person has a different image of what they were supposed to do.

If it’s [wind blade], you have to imagine a thin, sharp wind like a razor to cut the target. Otherwise, the wind will only blow through it. Then you will not be ...

Gilles (Age: 12)

We have tried several medications to help him make "sound judgments" and get rid of his attachment to Liz, but none of them has worked.

Alan had been freed from the rope that had bound him, and we had given him a decent place to live. So, he had a soft bed, sumptuous meals, and books to pass the time, so that he could be comfortable in his captivity.

When Alan asked for a sword to practice with, Duke simply gave it to him. "Isn't it dangerous?" I asked Duke,...

I couldn't die in a place like this. A villainess always gets out of a tight spot!

I drew myself together in my fading consciousness and lifted my leg as high as I could. I then twisted my legs and my entire body around Vian's arms.

Vian shifts his position, and his stranglehold on my neck loosens at the same time. I take advantage of that moment.

I would never let him think that I was a weak woman.

Canned Food [Part 3]

"...? I don't know about it very well, but cans like these were invented by an Imperial Japanese inventor, Gennai Hiraga, from magic stones. Although the flaw is that it occasionally explodes, it is still useful for storing snacks."

According to Fukushima, cans already existed in Imperial Japan, but for some reason, they had only been used for snack fruits, which was such a waste of potential.

Nicholas asked me a question that ordinary young ladies wouldn't know the answer to, so I just tilted my head to fool him for now, and he became resigned because I was usually a quiet person.

"...There are so few errors, I'm getting worried."

Vian muttered quietly one day, a few days after assigning me to the job.

He had me stay in this room almost all the time since I joined him, even when I was sleeping. So maybe as a result, I was gradually getting the hang of the job and doing it at a ridiculously fast pace.

I wondered if that was why he was starting to...

Bear-san, Listens To Noa's Request

Noa and I moved to a place that seems easy to spectate.

There were students and teachers from Euphalia around us. Then, there were those who I assume were family members of the students.

We’re completely the away team. I wished Shia and the other students in the royal capital the best of luck.

Euphalia’s students and teachers were sitting on chairs, perhaps prepared by themselves.

"Why are you going?"

I am at a loss for words myself. The nobles in this country were corrupt anyway, so it would be useless for him to be serious about it.

Moreover, he was in a vulnerable position and was even under threat of assassination, so I didn't think he could afford to make more enemies by going out of his way to expose the evil of the nobility, you know?

I wanted to say something like that, but I was exhausted from talking too much.

"...Is this really what you wanted?"

The Count of Arceides, who had dared to make Camille insist on the heavy knights' inspection, returned to his office in the castle and held his head in his hands with a gloomy face.

In this country, any nobleman with a certain amount of territory could cheat on his income and expenses to reduce the number of taxes he pays to the government.

Part of the money went to the prime min...

Bear-san, Goes To Watch The Exchange Meet

On the morning of the social event, I changed into my uniform. Once the event is over, all we have to do is go home, so I won't have to wear this uniform anymore. This may be the last time.

Noa is getting dressed after being gently woken up by Swaying Bear. Today she was able to wake up from the gentle stage.

After breakfast at the inn, we head to the school.

I was hit by something soft and fluffy. When I opened my eyes, I saw Hugging Bear slapping my cheeks. I looked at the window and saw that the sun was beginning to rise.

It looks like it’s morning already.

I get up with Hugging Bear in my arms.

It was a soft and fluffy bed, but if anything, the polar bear costume helped me sleep soundly. It's a lovely morning after a long day.

As soon as I left Vian's room, I ran as fast as I could towards Victor.

Victor didn't seem surprised or flustered as he looked at me and answered.
