When Deltan opened his eyes, the morning sunlight was peeking through the curtains.

“… .”

Translucent interface.

Behind that, the cherry blossom-colored eyes.

It was the first thing the Deltan saw when he opened his eyes.

I’m half asleep and my mind is blank.

The reason these eyes are looking at me, and even more than that, the owner of the eyes is right in front of me.

It took quite some time for Deltan to realize the cause and effect of it all.

“Ah… .”

Deltan belatedly recalled the events of the previous day.

We reached this situation by mixing our bodies in a strange atmosphere and falling asleep while embracing each other.

“Did you sleep well?”

Agnes laughed bitterly.

Deltan looked away and answered, as the greeting he gave while hugging my waist naked was unfamiliar.

“My arm is numb.”

“The arm pillow was comfortable. Thanks to you, I slept well.”

“If it happens, get out of the way.”

“I don’t like it.”

Agnes buried her head in Deltan’s arms.

“I want to stay like this a little longer.”

When I saw that he was adding strength to the arms he was hugging, it wasn’t just something he was saying.

It’s a little bit difficult.

Deltan let out a short breath and then followed her words.

There was nothing urgent to do early in the morning, and I felt a little tired.

As I feel the body temperature of people, the feeling of drowsiness becomes stronger and I want to be lazy.

‘… any.’

It would be okay to stay here a little longer.

“Just 10 minutes.”

“th year. Make it 20 minutes.”

“15 minutes.”

“20 minutes.”

“Don’t you know the word compromise?”

“20 minutes.”

What kind of conversation is this?

Deltan pursed his lips and closed his eyes, as if telling him to do whatever he wanted.

Agnes giggled at that and leaned closer.

“You can’t sleep.”

“Why.”

“Then you will become a lazy person.”

“Don’t be funny. I assure you, there is no one more diligent than me in this system.”

“If I sleep now, that record will be broken.”

As Agnes spoke, her chest tickled as she breathed.

Deltan said, feeling like his attention was being drawn to that direction for no reason.

“… Okay, so don’t breathe into your chest.”

“If I keep holding my breath like this, I’ll die.”

“Then it will fall.”

“I don’t like it. I feel cold when I’m apart from you.”

“It’s literally a feeling. It’s not actually getting cold, is it?”

“Cuthless.”

“I’m naturally cold.”

“You cling to me like that at night, but then you throw it away when I relieve my sexual desires.”

“Correction. You were the one who clung to me first, and we let go of our sexual desires together. And the term “throw away” is only used when something was mine in the first place. You are not my thing.”

“Don’t talk back.”

bean.

Agnes tapped Deltan’s chest with her forehead.

Deltan let out a laugh.

Don’t talk back when they say you start a fight first.

The action is to plant your forehead against your chest.

I don’t know what to do.

It was a situation that should have made me feel bad, but surprisingly, it wasn’t that unpleasant.

She must have found her own number.

There was a strangely soft side to the forceful expressions he gave while pretending to be cute that didn’t suit him.

Deltan was purely impressed by the cleverness.

As he did so, his gaze fell on the top of her head.

While I was sleeping, my hair had completely dried out and was hanging down like before.

Perhaps because she had long hair, her hair was messy behind her like a curtain that had fallen to the floor.

I was doing an arm pillow and caught it in my hand.

I grabbed my hair without thinking about it, and before I knew it, my hands were twisting it around.

Deltaine absentmindedly twisted her hair and thought of various random thoughts.

What to do today or what to do next.

And even the urgent marriage of the duke and princess.

Twenty minutes had passed before I knew it as I kept thinking about the unanswerable problem.

smart-

-Count, it’s meal time. We will prepare it for you at the restaurant.

Gerhart knocked on the door and said that.

The sound that followed told me that he had left.

Agnes said as she looked at the Deltan.

“Are you going right away?”

“Wash.”

“Let’s wash together. Wash me too.”

“You can’t even wash by yourself… .”

You do it.

Only later did Deltan realize that she was a precious princess who had never done anything on her own.

Agnes’ smile deepened as she wrinkled her expression.

*

Washing Agnes was a very cumbersome process for Deltans.

That’s because her requirements were so demanding.

He complains when he tries to clean it roughly with magic.

They say that when you wash in the morning, you should relax in a bathtub filled with perfume and wash your hair thoroughly.

When I asked why he was doing this now when he had stayed silent last time, the answer I got was astounding.

-I thought he wouldn’t do it. So I endured it.

Those were words that hurt my pride.

This is because it was conveyed to mean that if you speak now, they will listen.

Deltan thought about throwing her into the bathtub and leaving first, but eventually gave in to his pride when he saw the duke’s face flash.

This is truly unusual for him.

Only the Delta person was not aware of the unfamiliarity.

As Agnes wished, her hair was rubbed with spices, moistened with water, and combed.

I washed and wiped every part of my body with water.

During the process, Agnes asked, ‘Do you want to do it one more time?’ I spat out words like this, but the morning Delta person didn’t let me go like he did the night before.

Just dry it with magic.

After finishing washing her, Deltan arrived at the restaurant and started a slightly late breakfast.

The table was plentiful.

Gerhart had prepared a diet tailored to Agnes.

High in calories and contains high mana.

It was a process to activate the ‘Heart Supporter’ and normalize her body.

“It’s delicious.”

Gerhart bowed slightly in response to Agnes’ impression.

Deltan watched the two people’s actions as if it was funny, then finished eating and stood up.

“Where are you going?”

“Day.”

“Outside?”

“No, at home.”

At his words, Agnes swallowed the food she was chewing and stood up.

“I want to take a look.”

“Go.”

“I’m bored.”

“At least read a book.”

“I don’t like letters that much.”

“Uncultured bitch.”

Agnes shrugged.

“I live a life where I have nothing to learn even if I learn it.”

A government position is very limited.

Deltan frowned and gave up trying to stop her.

This is because what I was going to do today had a leisurely schedule and didn’t really need to be kept secret.

“Stay calm.”

“Yes.”

Agnes saluted according to the etiquette of imperial knights, as if to trust her.

The angle was extremely uncomfortable, but Deltan did not point it out.

I just thought.

‘Why are you acting cute?’

It seems like his behavior is different from before.

*

The place we arrived was a study room used as an auxiliary laboratory.

A place mainly visited by Deltans to research information about the continent or to quietly think about something.

It was always a space filled with silence as bookshelves turned, but today was different.

“Fall.”

“I don’t like it.”

Today in the study, a man and a woman were arguing continuously.

Deltan glared dissatisfiedly at Agnes, who was sitting on his lap and looking at a book together.

When I looked at her, wondering why she was being so flirtatious, Agnes just smiled.

“I can’t see the book,”

“Want me to read it to you?”

“I don’t like it. Slow.”

Deltan read books very quickly.

This is why I learned speed reading to catch up with the slower pace of others when I was concentrating on studying.

It wasn’t an important story.

More than that, what was bothering Deltans right now was the round head that was visible all the time.

“Why is it so soggy?”

“The operation was changed. I guess we just happened to be living together, because I thought that if I continued to be by your side like this, you would feel empty when I was gone.”

“Dreams are also ambitious.”

“Isn’t this a fairly well-founded operation? If I suddenly disappear one day, I hope you will be sad about the empty spot.”

“I guess I should disappear before then.”

“I don’t like that.”

Agnes hit Deltan’s chest with the back of her head.

Then, as if he was bored, he looked at the book and asked.

“But what are you looking for?”

“Metal.”

“Huh?”

“There’s something I need to make.”

The weapon he said he would make at the banquet before leaving the snowy mountain.

Deltan was selecting ingredients for it.

The motif of the weapon to be made was on Earth, but the materials to implement it had to be obtained here.

‘Orbital bombardment satellite.’

First of all, that was the name.

Due to the incident with Gaias the other day, we learned that the ‘Saint Hall’ alone was no longer able to stop the devil’s invasion, so we decided to create a means of counterattack rather than simple defense.

Since it is called a satellite, it would be nice to launch it into space and use it, but that is not possible.

The Deltans did not have very deep celestial knowledge in this dimension.

‘It would be nice if it went around the system… .’

There were many things needed.

Metal to form a magic engine or body to be used as power.

In addition to that, there is even a level of AI that allows satellites to set stone orbits or detect and destroy enemies.

‘AI can be modified by using automatic drones. The magic engine needs to be rebuilt, and the body… .’

Meanwhile, my thoughts start wandering here and there.

Once I started concentrating, I developed a personality that turned off my mind from things around me.

Agnes looked blankly at Deltan, who had gone off to his own world without stopping the conversation, then closed his mouth and turned his gaze to the book.

It was a complex letter that you couldn’t recognize even by looking at it.

The culture that Agnes learned included the etiquette of nobles and some basic cultural knowledge that a young lady should know.

This kind of technical knowledge was very unfamiliar to her.

When will Deltan come out of his thoughts?

Deltan came to his senses only after re-reading Agnes’ page about 20 times, thinking that he wouldn’t hear anything good if he interrupted her.

“… Ah.”

“Have you thought about everything?”

“Approximately.”

Deltan skimmed through the pages of the book.

The first sentence on the page where the large ore was drawn contained the name of the metal, [Ordios].

“Magnetic ore, light in weight and excellent mana conductivity.”

As Agnes read aloud, Deltan nodded.

“This guy would be nice.”

“Is the work finished?”

“No, I have to find something else.”

“Something else?”

“Materials for magic engines.”

“Ugh.”

Agnes was exaggeratedly disgusted.

Of course, the Delta people didn’t care.

He eventually read 20 more books in one sitting and finally found the material he wanted.

It was the time when the sun was setting.

As a Delta person, it was the moment when I realized that Agnes was someone who could remain quiet for such a long time.

The dinner that followed was, of course, a meal tailored to Agnes.

Agnes, who has fallen in love with eating these days, happily finished her meal, returned to her room, and asked Deltan.

“What are you doing tomorrow?”

“Going out.”

“Huh?”

“Go to the academy. There is something to be gained from there.”

“Oh, I want to go with you.”

“So.”

“For some reason you don’t say you don’t like it.”

“I have no intention of keeping you locked up. No, I didn’t bring you here in the first place, it’s your heart that leaves.”

Deltan dismissed the words and closed his eyes.

“Grow up, I have to leave early… .”

For a moment, Deltan paused.

My eyes opened again and my head turned towards Agnes.

“… But why are you sleeping here?”

I was thinking about the things I had to make all day, so my thoughts ended up being too late.

When Deltan asked in confusion, Agnes smiled and answered.

“Now?”

It was a statement that struck the core.

Literally, in many ways, it was a late question to ask now.

Deltan narrowed his eyes and looked at Agnes, then he exhaled and closed his eyes as if he had given up.

Agnes giggled and laid her head on Deltan’s arm and hugged him.

“Sleep well.”

She was steadily putting into practice what she said earlier, ‘I will stick around all day.’
