good.

Let’s not make eye contact.

I tried my best to look away.

I turned my head away so as not to appear to be avoiding her on purpose, and so as not to be noticed by others, but I was either a beat late, or my eyes met with Alice’s, and I felt Bella looking in the corner of my eye.

No, if you think about it, she was the type of person who would play pranks on us whether or not we made eye contact. She wasn’t the character we saw in the main story, but since we’d known each other for a while, I knew how playful Bella was and how little she cared about what she wore.

“Oh my, guys over there!”

But Bella stopped talking to the noble and waved her hand in this direction. The middle-aged noble she was talking to looked bewildered, but Bella didn’t seem to care at all.

… … .

I thought that the age gap was too big to use the word ‘oppa’, but I guess that’s because I know Bella. In a place like this, it’s natural to use that kind of word when soliciting customers.

“Huh? Me, me?”

Leo was startled.

The distance between Bella and us is quite far. So… … it’s a distance where I could mistake the other person waving to me when they see me waving to the person behind me.

It was also a distance where you could hear people shouting.

Actually, Bella’s voice was quite loud. As if it could be heard from here.

Claire looked at Leo, who was startled by Bella’s call, as if she found it ridiculous. Rather than jealousy, it seemed more like, ‘There’s no way I would call you.’

That’s right, we were wearing our school uniforms. If we assume that Bella is not a princess but a commoner who doesn’t know anything, there would be no reason for her to call us when there are so many noble men wandering around. Even if they mistake it for a different outfit than our school uniform, it’s still a military uniform.

Whether they are students or soldiers, they do not have as much money as the nobles.

“Yeah, there’s a handsome guy there.”

But Bella continued to talk while approaching Leo straight ahead. This time, not only Leo but Claire was embarrassed too.

“… … .”

Of course, Alice and I were just dumbfounded.

No, you said it was infiltration?

Even though I was undercover, I thought it would turn out like this.

If you think about it again, it might be more natural to react like this. It’s not like Bella would hide her personality by moving around while hiding her identity.

Bella, who was coming towards us, had a ball mask in her eyes… … No, rather, she was wearing a mask that covered her eyes, like the kind that a girlfriend would wear when dressing up as a bunny girl to her boyfriend at bedtime. It was made of cheap material and was decorated with something like white fluff, so it definitely didn’t look like something aristocrats would wear to a ball.

“… … .”

Lena had the same stern expression.

In fact, judging from the fact that he had not said a word since arriving in the area earlier, it seemed that he was having trouble adjusting to the very different atmosphere from that of an autonomous country ruled by the military.

“Huh.”

Bella, who had come close, bent down slightly and looked into Leo’s face.

Even compared to men, Bella, who was not short, was wearing high heels that were at least 10 centimeters tall, so her eye level was higher than that of Gareo. Her legs were stretched out refreshingly, and although her waist was thin, her chest was refreshingly forward. When someone like that bent over, a certain area was bound to look very emphasized.

“What brings you here? Are you interested in casinos?”

“Huh? Oh, me, that.”

When the other person spoke to him, Leo couldn’t even answer properly.

Bella, who was looking at Leo like that, grabbed Leo’s hand without paying any attention to Nana Alice who was next to him.

“Looking at your attire, you must be a nobleman from somewhere. Do you want to play with me? I can teach you a lot of things. I know the casino over there and the geography around here. Or maybe a hotel? ”

“… … .”

If I didn’t know anything, I might have felt something from Bella like that. Maybe a sexual attraction.

But… … isn’t there a story like that? It’s a story that says that even if you’re not related by blood, if you stay close to someone for too long, you’ll eventually come to know what kind of person they are and won’t be able to feel sexual attraction to them.

That’s what I did just now.

I knew full well that Bella had no intention of doing something like that, so I didn’t even feel like trying to stop her.

“Sleep—”

But Claire was different. She saw Leo as a man, and before that, Claire and Leo had a fight over who was her younger sibling and who was not.

Well, if my younger sister was about to be seduced by a street host, I would have stepped in and tried to chase her away.

But before Claire could step forward, a man shouted.

“Hey!”

The gentleman who was approaching me with a very angry look on his face was the man who had been talking to Bella a little while ago.

He wasn’t the stereotype of a noble who usually indulges himself in such places. He looked well-trained even through his clothes that were laden with various decorations, as if he took good care of his body. And his face… … He wasn’t an overtly handsome boy like the male protagonists in the main group, but he was pretty good-looking.

Of course, even if you take all that into account, I still get the impression that he’s some nameless, nouveau riche guy.

… … No, really, my assessment of them as ‘nobles’ might be wrong. At least if they were real nobles, they would be scared by the uniforms we were wearing and not come near us, or at least they would have recognized Alice’s face.

In addition, Jake was watching the situation from a distance with interest. The fact that he couldn’t clearly recognize the faces of the princess and the duke meant that he was a person who was far from the political world.

“Are you trying to joke with me right now? We were having a good conversation just a moment ago.”

… … It seems that I was just about to fall for Bella’s candy-coating sound.

“Oh my. But I’m more interested in this one. Look, ”

Belaga placed a gentle hand on Leo’s shoulders and pulled him sideways.

And after making sure that she could compare his face to hers, Bella nodded and said.

“Yeah, this one looks much prettier.”

What are you talking about, minor?

… … Well, in these games, people in their mid-teens are practically treated as quasi-adults.

“… … .”

The face of the nobleman looking this way turned red and blue. When he turned red like that, the half-heartedness I felt when I saw his face just now disappeared.

“Ah, wait!”

Claire, who was trying to come between Abel and Leo earlier, was startled again and shouted.

But this time, it wasn’t because of Leo.

“Ouch!”

Bella screamed like a bird.

Because the nobleman approached with strides and grabbed Bella’s arm.

“… … .”

hmm…….

After seeing the current situation, I feel confident.

Bella had clearly interrupted the conversation with that man to force us into this situation. Alice seemed to think so too, as she watched the situation with a very complex and subtle expression.

“Shouldn’t you help?”

“… … .”

Lena, who was watching the situation next to me, asked me that.

Hmm… … .

If I just look at it here, I’m afraid the image will not be very good.

As I walked forward without saying a word, I heard Alice sigh softly.

“Hey.”

But there was no need for all the women, including me, to come forward.

Because the arm of the man who was holding Bella’s arm was also held by another man.

It was Jake.

“It’s difficult to grab a lady’s arm like this.”

Jake said that with a smile.

“What is the lady—”

The man ignored Jake’s words and tried to move his arm,

“Huh?”

He muttered with a blank expression for a moment.

Perhaps, his arm wasn’t moving. Even though he pulled hard back and twisted it, Jake, who was holding the man’s arm, didn’t move at all.

“Ah, aah… … !”

Not moving meant that he was holding onto that arm tightly. As Jake tightened his grip, the man let out a shrill scream.

“Hand, hand… … !”

The man screamed and writhed his hands, then finally let go of Bella’s arm. Bella quickly pulled her arm away and wrapped it with her other hand. The expression on his face that had been so fierce before was gone, and he had the sad expression of a woman.

… … I don’t know what to say.

Jake confirmed that the man had let go of his hand, and let go of his own. The man, who had been groaning and trying to fall backwards, fell backwards violently when the force pulling him disappeared.

“You bastard, you know who I am!”

“Don’t you know who I am?”

When Jake responded to the man’s screams as if he was dumbfounded, the man became speechless. Only then did he realize what kind of place this was.

Above the rich there are those with even more money, and above the social status there are still other social statuses.

It’s because everyone doesn’t reveal their status, but this place is full of high-ranking nobles and wealthy people.

“… … .”

In the end, the man quickly got up and chose to run away without even shaking off his clothes.

“Are you okay?”

A little while ago, she had thought this place was shallow, but seeing the situation made her think a little differently, and Charlotte asked with concern.

“Ah, yes, yes… … . It’s okay.”

This is incredible, really.

I thought as I watched Bella, who had completely abandoned her previous attitude and spoke pitifully.
