“…”

Harnier arrived at the top by carriage.

She got out of the carriage without saying a word.

The coachman was a little, no, very surprised at that sight.

The expression on the owner Harnier’s face had changed.

This big change made the coachman wonder if something good had happened to Harnier, the owner he had seen so far.

Harnier walks back and forth to the building.

The corners of her mouth pout uncontrollably.

That’s right, because even after this time, I still haven’t forgotten about the school trip.

-Of course.

“ugh.”

Harnier is startled by the voice of Karssein that keeps coming to her mind.

A face that heats up quickly. The heat rising from my red face. Even my body twists and turns, not knowing what to do.

Several times in the carriage, my face got so hot that I buried myself in my hands.

Perhaps that’s why I also felt a sense of regret.

“…I wish it was a little longer.”

Without even a single problem occurring.

I made time with Karsein, gave her gifts, and paid off the debt I had accumulated.

By extending my contract, I was able to spend more time with him.

And… there was more.

It was a school trip where everything went well.

It is safe to say that it was truly the best trip, and the feeling of seeing the sea for the first time is indescribable.

But it was too short.

That was the flaw.

– Sweet.

As we walk a short distance to the top of Plesia, Mina greets us as if she always did.

“Welcome. Lady Harnier. School trip─”

And I noticed it quickly.

‘Oh my?’

Harnier usually had a worried look on his face whenever he reached the top.

Some days, a heavy silence weighs down.

Some days, I chew my lips in exasperation.

On the day I stopped by Marquis Theresia, I sighed.

The only way to put on a good face was to sigh or say that the plan went well and get motivated to move on to the next task.

Harnier has always been like that.

The treatment he received as the illegitimate son of Marquis Theresia was so bad.

But that wasn’t the case today.

Put your hand lightly on your mouth.

The beautiful appearance stopped for a moment.

Soon he even showed a small smile.

Of course, it was surprising.

‘You’re making a more facial expression than I expected. miss?’

Mina smiled sinisterly as she watched Harnier return to his original position.

Now that this has happened, we must find out what happened.

How do I end the beginning?

Mina thought for a moment and came up with a good idea.

“Lady. That swimsuit was effective, right?”

Harnier suddenly twitches and starts to look confused.

As I looked at the startled figure, I could tell that the engine had already started.

“It works! Sue, the swimsuit was too much… Well, that didn’t have any effect as a gift!”

Harnier was struggling, fanning his hands as if it was hot.

And they are talking nonsense about how the design was too much or that too much skin was exposed.

‘Ugh. Our lady too. ‘You’re not being honest.’

Mina knows very well that my young lady is not good at lying.

So this is a very positive sign.

It had a great effect! in.

‘But there is something about the reaction that is better than usual.’

Much more embarrassed.

Much more gibberish.

I can’t help but look into this more.

Mina joked and threw the bait once more.

“Yes? I asked whether it was effective as a product?”

In “?”

“Swimwear is also a product. You are also in the clothing business, so it would be nice if you could branch out into swimwear at this point. The young lady tried out the swimsuit to be used as a prize in advance. What was wrong with that?”

“Ah, huh. Well, if that’s the case, haha… As for a swimsuit…”

As it slipped away like a loach, Harnier didn’t know what to do.

‘huh. This is 100% yes.’

The gift given to Karssein seemed to have had a great effect.

If this is the case, there is no reason to go back.

My love for the man I like is so clear, is there a need to fret about it?

Mina asked directly.

“Lady Harnier. How did Master Karssein react?”

“What, what?”

“Wearing a swimsuit given by the young lady. Since I received it as a gift, I don’t think there will be any reaction.”

“Nothing happened!”

Mina does not miss Harnier, who makes excuses and explains that nothing much has happened.

“It’s not like you didn’t show it, right? Why do you have such a big debt? Are you throwing away the opportunity to give your fiancé a special gift? So you can’t tell me what kind of reaction you had, right?”

Mina suddenly asks with her face in each word.

Harnier reluctantly answered with his ears turning red.

“Yes, I said it was pretty… When I got a chance to be alone on the beach… I showed it to you.”

That’s right. You need to speak quickly. miss!

“That’s it?”

“…He also said it suits him well.”

“Surely that’s all? It’s not like I made a gesture or anything like that!”

“…”

At Mina’s urging, Harnier was silent for a moment.

I started to honestly tell everything.

“I hugged my body. They told me not to show it to others… and…”

oh my god.

Such a major incident.

Mina covered her mouth.

***

“Then they said they would extend the contract period. Is that enough now…?”

Before I knew it, my mouth, which had been clogged, opened.

The more I heard, the more surprising the stories became.

Scenes that would only occur in a romance novel were vividly depicted.

It was hotter than I imagined.

It was sweeter than I imagined.

So I realized it was time.

“Lady. You have feelings for Master Karssein.”

“Geuggg, what do you mean?!”

“Ha. miss. Do you know that every time you meet Mr. Master, you come with a bright smile on your face?”

In “…?”

“When you have a conversation, you make an expression that you have never shown to us. If the topic of Mr. Master comes up during work, you become bright as if a flower has bloomed. When you look at a document, you may startle and then suddenly smile. This is how the young lady changed after meeting you.”

Harnier’s shoulders trembled, as if he didn’t know it was visible up to that point.

Mina hit the nail on the head while holding Harnier’s hand.

“You keep thinking about it. It keeps coming to mind. That’s what you have in mind, right? No?”

“Well, about that…”

“You like it. Master Karssein.”

A fresh girl’s love is beautiful.

That’s why we need to be more proactive and not just turn our heads like we are doing now.

Mina decided to encourage it further.

“If you don’t express it properly, you might get taken away by other women.”

“…What?”

“Master Karssein is a wonderful man no matter who looks at him. I am not lacking in social status or ability. He is young, tall, and has a well-trained body. In some ways, he is the perfect man. Don’t you know?”

“…”

You’ve already experienced it.

Seeing Harnier’s face harden, it seemed like he had experienced impatience.

This is actually better.

“These days, there are quite a few women who actively try to get the man they want? That way, you won’t lose your master.”

As Mina snorted and gave advice, Harnier swallowed his saliva.

“Uh, what should I do…?”

“Now, the young lady is going to catch you!”

The Yellow Dragon Martial Arts Tournament will be held soon.

That will be a wonderful bridge that will connect the two people.

***

-widely.

I sighed and closed the document.

My head still feels tingly, as if I hit it hard.

I couldn’t save someone in the past, and that person ended up dying.

It was full of questions, just like the message that someone’s fate would be determined by my choices.

“No. In some ways, this situation itself is questionable.”

I don’t know what this message that says it’s a special reward every time I dig up traces of the Kingdom of Wederos is talking about.

Is this really helpful in clearing the game?

I had that question.

“That’s it. For now, let’s just think about the episode.”

It is said that the so-called prophet also went missing and has not been seen since.

Those who are looking for traces of the Kingdom of Wederos have nothing more to find out anyway.

On the contrary, I have work to do now.

▶I chose as the method of acquiring funds for . ◀

▶This is the first stage condition. Own 100,000 pesels of funds.◀

need to make money

Money to repay them for the money they spent on the Duke’s house.

-Hehehe.

“Master. Arrived at the Duke’s House.”

-Tiring!

▶The return to work has been delayed.◀

▶A late return home penalty will be imposed.◀

“Tsk.”

I’m in a situation where I can’t figure anything out.

What a penalty now.

It’s annoying, but I can’t help it.

I still have some guesses about this episode, so it’s okay.

▶Isabella came to meet us.◀

Is this penalty Isabella?

In some cases, this can be the most annoying or the easiest.

You should choose an option while taking that into consideration.

I got off the carriage calmly.

[Isabella Bagland]

[Intimacy: 75%]

I see the Duchess watching me from afar.

Looking at the intimacy level, it doesn’t seem to have dropped yet.

however.

“Ha. Are you coming back now?”

The timing is also bad.

At this time, if Arina is there, the progress is fixed.

“What on earth are you doing here?”

-Tiring!

▶You must answer Arina’s questions.

[ 1. I came to meet my fiancee. ]

[ 2. Why is it wrong to meet Westerners? ]

[ 3. Is there any problem with me managing my territory? ]

In this case, no matter which side you choose, the level of intimacy drops.

There is a reason attached to making Isabella, who came to meet her, wait here for hours, so either way, Carcein’s legitimacy cannot be claimed.

The same goes for the three sisters.

Since I haven’t had any contact with Arina, Claire, or Flora even after a long time since they arrived, I’m really penalized here.

‘Still, one of them would be better than being attacked by all three.’

With that in mind, I tried to choose option 1.

▶The option disappears.◀

“ done. Arina.”

“But, mother!”

“Maybe I just played around a little more. Don’t criticize me too much.”

When Arina tried to reprimand me, Isabella stopped her.

Another unknown situation arises.

I guess this is why the options disappeared.

Let’s test it.

“Sorry. I was a little late because something happened at the estate.”

“Why are you lowering your head? It’s that late. Besides, I completely understand if it’s a fiefdom matter.”

Although it was sad, Isabella smiled and moved on as if it was really okay.

If this is the reaction… there won’t be a big problem.

“Since everyone is here, let’s have dinner. I prepared it in advance.”

Now that the family was all together, Isabella naturally spoke a line she was familiar with.

-Tiring!

[ 1. Have dinner together. ]

[ 2. He leaves, telling them to eat separately. ]

For the sake of intimacy, it would be better to have dinner together instead of leaving.

But I prioritize time over intimacy.

“Then I will leave. I ate outside beforehand.”

“…So?”

Isabella asked with a regretful voice.

At this, Arina frowned slightly, and as expected, the level of intimacy diminished.

▶Arina’s intimacy has decreased.◀

[Current figure: 28%]

what. Cut it off.

You can raise Arina’s intimacy level directly through the event later.

The problem is the other two…

‘hmm?’

[Claire Bagland]

[Intimacy: 80%]

[Flora Bagland]

[Intimacy: 70%]

Originally, the intimacy between these two people would have to be reduced by this option, right?

Did something good happen that made you feel like this wasn’t a big deal?

‘doesn’t care. ‘I’m not in a position to worry about such things.’

Actually, I didn’t eat dinner, but if I was really hungry, I could just ask Camilla to bring me a piece of bread.

“Let’s go in first.”

“Sure. You must have been tired from playing in the sea. Get some rest.”

After entering the room, I picked up a pen and paper again and pretended to do some work.

If you ask why I’m ‘pretending’ to do work instead of doing it, it’s because I have a customer coming.

-dripping.

“Master Karssein. I am a guest.”

You came.

Currently not eating dinner.

When you just enter a room, the agenda that needs to be delivered is delivered in this way.

‘It must be about the Yellow Dragon Martial Arts Tournament.’

Who comes is random.

Depending on your level of intimacy, it may become easier or more difficult, but this is all about luck.

“Tell them to come in.”

When the door opened, what appeared was Arina.

She’s the toughest bitch.

I asked, putting down the pen as if nothing had happened.

“What’s your business?”

“Take it.”

chuck.

“This is something I would have brought up if I had come to dinner, but my mother said that a lot had changed with this symposium, so I should return all rights. However, I decided that I could not be so optimistic.”

It was a familiar line.

“So, I would like to check how much you have changed through this Yellow Dragon Martial Arts Tournament.”

-Tiring!

▶Arina presented a contract related to attending the Yellow Dragon Martial Arts Tournament. Episode II at the time of writing. Anyone who proves eligibility will be automatically accepted.

[ 1. Sign. ]

[ 2. Do not sign. ]

“If you sign, you will attend the Yellow Dragon Martial Arts Tournament. If you prove your qualifications and dignity here, all the rights you have withdrawn so far will be granted.

– Ssuk ssuk.

I picked up the pen without even listening to Arina.
