"Did you find out anything?"

Duke shook his head at my words.

If Duke couldn't understand it, I'm sure I couldn't either.

Duke and I were researching the days before Alicia's personality changed in the school's empty old library.

Not long ago, I had turned twelve and had a big celebration at the Williams' house. Alan still didn't like me, but Henry, Albert, and Arnold had been too kind to me, and I had hoped to see Alicia's mothe...

"Time's up!"

The three siblings' hands stopped moving right after Melsa's sign.

The ‘Melsa's evaluation’ that would decide the victory or defeat began.

"...George? This is my first time seeing egg yolk turning this foamy, you know?"

"Yes, I did my best!"

"You seem to have not put the oil in at all, though...?"

"...AH?! I forgot?!"

"...William? Well, it is better than George's...(?)...

"Young Lady Carol, do you know? I heard that there was an explosion at the mansion of the first court mage. Everyone is talking about a failed magic experiment, but the mage himself seems to be denying it, but it's scary, isn't it?"

"...Heeeh."

The world is a dangerous place, isn't it? I couldn't even go out for a walk at night if such a scary thing happened in the city.

But... so that was the mansion of the first court mage...

Deportation to Ravaal kingdom was like training.

After a while, I planned to go back to Duelkis kingdom.

I had no idea that Victor liked me so much....

"Hey, why do you look so disgusted?"

"I don't want to spend the rest of my life listening to such words from His Highness."

"Little brat, you have no idea how great it is to be the prince's favorite... as long as you are Prince Victor's knight, nothing else should matter."

"Wow, you're going to build a better unit than me."

"Where the heck do you get your confidence from...?"

Vice Captain Neil was staring at me in disbelief, next to Victor, who was grinning at me.

A squad of villainesses that will go down in history? How could I have made such a squad vulnerable?

"What the heck are you trying to accomplish?"

"I wonder."

I took a sip of my coffee and smiled.

George was the one who was shocked by William's words.

Bear-san, Wears Kimono

We bought wind chimes, took a peek at a street performance, and returned to the front of the mansion where we left Sakura. A gatekeeper stood at the entrance of the mansion.

"Yuna-san, if I show them this card, I can meet Sakura-chan, right?" (Ruimin)

“I think so.” (Yuna)

That’s what King Suou claimed earlier on.

"Setup [Arjuna Cloche]"

When I sneaked out of the house at night in hunter mode, I saw two men standing outside the mansion, along the wall of a neighboring mansion.

It was suspicious. I should take them down as soon as possible. If I could find evidence after defeating them, I would report them as guilty (Distraction).

"Set [Snipe Bow]".

I took out a bow with a special effect from my Bag. I didn't want to get the area around my house dirty because if it was the magic ...

Stalker [Part 1]

I recently made an acquaintance of the same age, Maro-kun.

We were not exactly friends. I'd probably never see the five-year-old again because I'm a recluse who never leaves the house.

Maro was sickly, frail, and very nice, but...Maro? Maro? I think I heard of that name somewhere. Where was it?

...Then, chills ran through my body.

After breakfast, we headed out to explore the city.

“I see Shinobu is popular with girls." (Yuna)

“I don't want to talk about it anymore. Yuna, you don't have a guy, do you?" (Shinobu)

“Do you think there is one?" (Yuna)

I showed my figure to Shinobu.

When Shinobu saw my appearance, she immediately understood.

Victor was drinking gracefully in front of me. The old men were ordering hot coffee.

I managed to escape from the crowd. Vice captain Neil gave me a helping hand, and I was able to get out of that place.

It was exhausting to have so many people asking me so many questions at once. I am sure even the Prince himself wouldn't have been able to handle that.

"You're too late."

Victor said, without making eye contact with me.

Captain Marius and the others bowed their h...

As we entered the city, it was livelier than I had imagined.

People were cheerful and energetic. There was some bickering, but it was nothing dangerous.

I was expecting more fights to break out.... It was important to see, hear, and experience things with your own senses, right?

We stood out the most in a town full of so many people.

Of course, to prevent the prince from being identified, he was cloaked so that no one could see his face. The old men were also hiding th...

"Hah?"

Victor looked dubious at my words.

"So what are you going to do for me? You will do something reasonable for me now that I have told you my secret, right?"

"Who the hell do you think I am?"

"You are the prince of Ravaal Kingdom. So, there's nothing you can't do, right?"

I was always the one who was pushed around, but now I finally have the opportunity to stir things up.

Seeing the prince's stunned state, Grandfather held back his laughter.

After running for a while, a bustling town came into view. I could feel its liveliness.

It was definitely bigger than the country of Duelkis. It would be easy to get lost just looking at it from the side.

"The Kid should be old enough to drink. Let's go."

At Victor's words, everyone grabbed the reins of their horses.

...Oh my, am I about to make my drinking debut here? And was I going to have to run again?

"Good for you. It's an honor to celebrate your birthday w...

Williams Family's Eldest Daughter, Alicia (Age: 16)

Ah～! Jeez! I couldn't believe it!

I was currently running as fast as I could. There was no elegance, no leeway. I kept moving my legs the entire time.

"You! You demon!"

I yelled out loudly to Victor.

How could I have possibly called someone a demon?

Except for me, everyone was riding their horses calmly. And why do they have to move their horses at full speed?

Maybe they forgot tha...

The ship arranged by the Rothschild Company continued to sail smoothly.

One of the spacious guest cabins was equipped with a kitchen, and it became the family's favorite gathering place on the ship. Melsa would usually teach the Tarous how to cook, Leonard and George would focus on their own training, and Emma and William would make monster karutas. Time kept moving quickly while the family busied themselves with their o...

"Maro, do you want to play?"

"Yes."

Maro nodded his head vigorously, seemingly having been bored. At his age, with this reaction, it would seem that he could be corrected so that he would not become a sub-human hater in the future. I said I would play with him as soon as I could, but what should I play with Maro, who seemed to be physically weak?

"Yes."

Maro invited me towards the pond. It might be a good idea, given his...

When I entered the guild, I was met with a "what are you doing here?" look from a male staff member who knew me, a sympathetic look from a female staff member, and a serious look from a female staff member who had signed a contract with me.

"Welcome, Witch-san. How can I help you today? Did you find another new spell?"

"Not today. I want this item to be checked."

"This is... an unusual item."

Sakura looked apologetic at Ruimin's words.

I woke up to the sound of voices. I opened my eyes and got up to see Sakura and Ruimin talking.

"Good morning. Both of you are early." (Yuna)

I rubbed my eyes and greeted them.

It seems customary for Sakura, and Ruimin,...

He mutters in a small voice, wrinkling his brow, and I ask him to "tell me" about it.

"When Alicia had a haughty attitude towards her attendants and was selfish and always getting into trouble with everyone around her, a Flower she was randomly raising began to bloom. I think that was when it all started."

"Uh, a flower?"

"Yes, a flower."

He said in a serious tone. 2022-05-22 17:29:25 +0000 UTC View Post

Albert's kindness made me a little nervous.

He might be disappointed with me someday. He might even abandon me again.

"Is it okay to be so selfish and ask for so much?"

I had always kept a poker face, but now I couldn't hide my uneasy expression. Maybe that was how desperate I was.

I knew I must never show my weakness. I had to be strong to be by Alicia's side. I had to be strong to be there for Alicia, so I had to stand tall in any situation without being impatient or...

She opened a treatment center for sailors who fell ill and were in despair. Moreover, it was on the premise of her family mansion. Even though there were many elitist nobles out there who even disliked having commoners walk through the Nobles District.

Not to mention the medical fees. They didn't even have to pay for the food made of luxurious ingredients and the several sets of pajamas prepared for each person to keep hygienic.

"Gilles adores Alicia very much, huh?"

Albert's voice was the kindest I had ever heard.

"And you often make wise remarks that are far from what people might expect from someone like you.. ...You're a lot like Alicia."

To me, that was the best compliment someone could give me.

Similar to Alicia. It was such an honor to hear that from her own brother.

"...I know I'll never be forgiven by her, even if I make amends for the rest of my life."

What a sad look on ...

I was always protected by Alicia.

I had no idea where Alicia was in the Ravaal Kingdom, but I knew she was alive.

That was why her grades were always at the top of the class. Her name was always placed under the Duke's name on the academic exam posters.
