What should I wear to Ravaal Kingdom?

That's what I kept thinking about as I swayed in the carriage.

Looks are everything in this world. People say that what's on the inside is important, but the first impression is still the outside. That's where everything is decided for the most part. Then they look at what's inside.

If possible, I want to get close to royalty... But then, these prized golden eyes would be a hindrance.

I've never met anyone who has eyes of this colo...

An Uproar

In the early morning of the first day of the week, the screams of young ladies echoed throughout the academy.

The target was the path leading to the Embroidery class. It was the only place where Emma was separated from her brothers.

While Emma went to class herself, her brothers and Joshua were ...

Alicia, The Eldest Daughter of the Williams family

After I've been reincarnated into this world, this is the moment that I'm more excited than ever.

Can you believe that I'm finally going to the Ravaal Kingdom? I mean, would you believe it? To be able to go to the Ravaal Kingdom, which was originally said to be impossible to access, is a dream come true!meaning

...I don't like the idea of riding in a carriage, though. Maybe Duke-sama made sure that I wouldn'...

A Wicked Design

"What does this mean? Robert, I thought I had left the food distribution to you. So why did I get such a letter from the Royal Family?"

The day after the evening party, Robert was summoned to the study by his father.

After Robert entered the room, he was greeted by the sight of his frowning father, holding a letter, which pointed out House Lance's food distribution inadequacy, up high.

Bear-san, Talks To Sakura-sama.

At the far end of the large room, a girl dressed in a white miko* costume sat alone.

"Sakura-sama, I'm back." (Shinobu)

"Shinobu. What about your injury?" (Sakura)

The girl dressed in a white miko costume stood up worriedly about Shinobu.

"I'm fine. I'm fine." (Shinobu)

Shinobu did some forward somersaults and backflips on the spot.

She's really agile like a ninja.

The next day, I left the inn to meet Sakura-sama and the king of this country.

"The hot springs were nice and the food was delicious." (Yuna)

I thanked Konoha for taking care of me for the past few days.

“I'm glad you said that.” (Konoha)

Then Konoha said, "Please come again”.

Yeah, I’ll visit here with Fina next time in the future.

Then, Shinobu and Jubei-san rode their horses, while I...

The Slums' Worth [Part 4]

"Saint..."

Throughout the venue, anyone and everyone muttered that word.

The saint was a godlike existence in this world.

To claim oneself as one without the church's approval was unforgivable.

But, if that girl wasn't a saint, who else could be dubbed as one...

"That's right! A saint!"

"The Count's daughter, Emma Stuart, is a saint!"

"Ehh? Wait a minute!!! Emma-chan, you went to the slums?! Isn't that dangerous?"

The King and nobles around were all shocked by Emma's words.

It was unheard of for a Count’s daughter to go to the slums.

By saying that she became friends with the children in the slums earlier, did she mean she visited the dangerous slums personally instead of bringing the poor and hungry children to the Nobles’ Distri...

Bear-san, Listens To Shinobu's Story "Part 2"

I got the gist of it.

In a prophetic dream, a woman named Sakura-sama saw a beacon of hope riding on a beast. That would be me. So, she contacted me, the aforementioned beacon of hope.

"I now understand that it's an act. Possibly everything from when we met." (Yuna)

PoV: Gilles

"It's about time."

One of the guards said in a low voice as he grabbed Alicia's arm.

Alicia smiled in satisfaction. It was as if she was actually intoxicated with the idea of being exiled.

On the contrary, she seemed to be trying to play the role of a villainess to the very end.

Liz looked at Alicia with a twisted expression on her face. No one noticed the expression on her face, but I definitely saw it with...

PoV: Gilles

Liz Cather's words left Alicia speechless. It must have been something she didn't expect.

I'm at a loss for words, too.

"What do you mean...?"

Alicia is talking in her usual way.

"Exile would be too much of a punishment."

"This time, it's a murder charge as well... I mean, it's funny for me to say this, but erasing the memory of the prince of a country is quite a big deal, you know?" View Post

PoV: Gilles

I didn't think Duke would be willing to expel Alicia so easily.

What the heck do you think you're doing? You're in love with her, right? Protect her! I shouted at Duke in my mind.

Then, in a fit of rage, I raised my voice demanding that Alicia and I be deported together. I have no desire to stay in this country. I'm going to live with Alicia, and I can easily abandon this country for her.

As Alicia walked ...

444 Bear-san, fights.

The man and I faced off each other.

The road we were fighting on was only wide enough for two carriages to pass, making it difficult to make any significant movements.

Furthermore, like Shinobu, I cannot use big magic. If you use wind magic, you will destroy buildings, and if I use fire, I will burn everything. Even water magic and earth magic would cause damage to buildings. More importantly, using bear magic would be on the level of disaster.

443 Bear-san, Watches The Battle.

The battle between Shinobu and the man began on a deserted street.

Shinobu rushed in. At the same time, she throws a kunai. The man dodged the kunai by shifting his body slightly to the side. In that short movement, Shinobu closed the distance to the man and swung her short katana(小刀) in her left hand at him. The man dodged easily and swung his katana(刀) at Shinobu.

Shinobu dodged by shifting her weight to her left and moved to the...

I couldn't help but to laugh. When I say "laugh," I mean I just raised the corner of my mouth. No classy villainess would open her mouth and laugh like Santa Claus.

"I never thought I'd hear Gilles say something like that."

I patted him lightly on the head.

I'll get out of this situation as easily as I can. They're just ordinary people...but they're still people nonetheless. I have to make it look like I have a chance of winning. No matter ...

"I heard that the kind Liz is being bullied by you."

One woman, roughly about my mother's age or even older, first spoke up.

Her voice was so weak. I wonder if she's scared of me, a noble. That's wonderful! A villainess should be feared by others.

"I want the slums."

What Emma pleaded from the King was the area that could even be said to be the dark side of the royal capital. While many people could get out of the slums and live decently as job opportunities increased following the infrastructure improvements needed after the coup d'etat, the young children who were too young to work were all left behind.

Those small children had survived somehow by relying on t...

The maid raised an eyebrow at my first remark. She must have thought I was belittling her. Sure, it's a big deal to belittle a royal castle. But now I'm a criminal! Well, I guess I am a suspected criminal.... So I think I'm allowed to say anything I want. Well, leaving all that aside for the moment, what will happen to me now?

We walked around the city for a day, but we couldn't find the man with the eye patch and the cross-shaped scar on his cheek. It was just me, being seen by passersby.
