‘What happened after that?’

A loud cheer was heard from the noble ladies, and Yuri, surprised, hesitated for a moment and held out a handkerchief that seemed to have been prepared in advance.

The scene where Ian, wearing jet-black armor, takes a pink handkerchief was, well, really eye-catching.

“Glass. I will give you the glory of victory.”

As someone who knew Ian, who was weighing Yuri against me, it felt a bit strange, but it was a plausible picture.

Of course, I never feel regretful or anything like that.

Besides, you haven’t won yet, have you? Isn’t that rude to the other person?

In the first place, it took me over 10 minutes by myself?

‘Very dog manners, dog manners.’

I chuckled to myself at a thought that suddenly occurred to me. ‘It might be more fun than a swordsmanship competition.’ The moment I thought that, a large hand touched my head. So familiar and kind hands.

“My daughter, she seems to be in a good mood.”

“ㅡHehe, I guess so.”

A foolish laugh emerges.

“My little brother, isn’t it too hot?”

Maria wiped my face with a cool handkerchief and asked, “Do you want me to cast a “ spell?” Maria didn’t break a sweat.

I thought for a moment. Still, it feels like real summer for the first time in my life.

“It’s okay.”

Organize your day, whatever.

I turned my attention back to the stadium.

But my opponent was really unlucky.

I thought we were going to some away game.

The result was also so overwhelming that it ended without anything to see.

A few more games pass, and although not as loud as Ian’s, there are quite a lot of cheers.

“Claude Cabal!”

“Claude Knight!”

“Cheer up, Claude!”

Jet-black armor with the emblem of the Black Hawk Knights. Moderate blonde hair. Pink eyes. The appearance of a handsome knight who looked like a painting resulted in a similar result to that of Ian.

However, Claude also lightly ignored the ladies’ request and gradually walked towards one side of the stadium. Yes, if you look in the direction, it’s exactly this way.

Well, since his master, his father, and my sister and I are all here, it’s not strange for him to head this way.

“Chet.”

Dad clicked his tongue. Then Claude leapt.

“Aaaah!”

As soon as I heard a scream from the audience, a blonde knight knelt in front of me.

‘No… it’s not like he’s doing some kind of circus, what’s so loud?’

Claude lightly leaped a distance of several tens of meters and knelt in front of me.

“Lady. Could I have a handkerchief?”

hey. this. hey. this…

Have you ever heard that when people are too embarrassed, they can’t speak?

That’s exactly my situation right now.

In the end, what came out of my mouth was a deep sigh.

“Take it.”

Let me roughly wave my handkerchief. Claude, who reverently accepted it with both hands, smiled brightly and jumped again as he appeared in the center of the stage.

Then he pulled out a white sword that contrasted with his jet-black armor and pointed it at the sky.

“I dedicate this victory to my master, Lady Marian!!”

“Wow!”

The audience went wild with his voice, like that of a theater actor.

“Wow…”

I really said out loud, ‘Wow.’ I said.

‘He’s gotten into that habit again.’

Honestly, it’s about a handkerchief. I don’t think it would be a waste of a few pieces for my knight, Claude.

And honestly, isn’t that just a scam?

If you ask for something like that and don’t give it to them, you’re a very vicious owner.

“That’s real.”

“I need to do new mental education.”

Maria and Dad’s voices were full of discomfort, and I sent my condolences to Claude.

At the time of his appearance, his popularity was lower than that of Ian Rippleton.

But now his popularity seems to be several times, or even ten times, that of Ian Ripleton.

‘He also has the makings of a real actor… . Should I use him as an advertising model?’

All the spectators were enthusiastic about his words and movements.

Now that I think about it, who is the opponent?

It was then.

“Aaaagh!”

The high soprano notes, which can damage the eardrums, begin to sound one after another.

‘Wow, this… that’s it.’

An idol concert featuring really famous actors. It felt exactly like that.

“Count Cecil!!”

“Senior Cecil!”

“Please take my handkerchief!”

“Senior Cecil!”

The outfit itself was unique. The uniform, which had a gold embroidery on a white background, was too beautiful to look like someone who was about to go into battle.

She moved straight to the center of the stage, paying no heed to the ladies’ cries.

Cecilia quietly looked at the knight in front of her.

This was the article that followed Marian around like goldfish poop whenever she went out.

‘dare.’

Even though it was a little annoying, I was planning on accepting it to some extent since he was Marian’s knight, but his actions a little while ago changed my mind.

‘This is Marian’s knight. No blood. It doesn’t hurt too much. Yeah… in moderation.’

Cecilia sighed and repeated this to herself several times.

“I will not look after you even if you are my friend.”

As soon as Claude started, he was surrounded by aura.

“Sword Master!”

The place was agitated.

Cecilia just smiled without saying a word.

* * *

Marian grabbed her skirt without realizing it.

‘No, Claude, you…’

What if Cecilia’s face gets hurt?

‘Rather than that, when did he become a sword master? ‘I guess Ian isn’t a sword master yet?’

Since I gave handkerchiefs to both people, there was no way for me to worry about who to cheer for, so I just cheered for Cecilia… .

‘ah. I wonder if the support was a little strong… ?’

Just a moment ago, the audience was so hot that people told them to go away from the famous idol concert hall.

It just became cold.

How should I explain this?

‘okay…’

Beat it like a dog.

There could be no more appropriate words than this.

Against Claude, who is wearing an auror.

Cecilia used dual swords.

To be exact, a scabbard and a sword.

And he was using the sword sheath to beat Claude like a dog.

‘Claude… . ‘What on earth have you done?’

If that good boy would go that far… . What kind of deadly sin have you committed? ?

Cecilia knows that Claude is my knight. Because we’ve met a few times.

But if you see me making a silent statement like that, I guess they are paying attention because it is my article… .

If it weren’t for my article, maybe my head wouldn’t have fallen off?

In fact, Claude was hit on the back of the neck with the sheath of a sword several times, but he gritted his teeth and held on.

‘No, I know. They even held a ceremony as if they had won everything a little while ago. ‘You can’t lose.’

It was then.

I made eye contact with Cecilia.

Cecilia looked at my expression and smiled sweetly. Her hands moved with lightning speed.

Claude’s sword bounced lightly, and Cecilia’s sword was aimed at Claude’s neck.

“……lost.”

“Wow!”

As soon as Claude declared defeat, the quiet audience became excited.

‘Honestly, I’m a little worried.’

If it becomes like that. No, first of all, he was my driver and he received a handkerchief from me.

“Sister. Wait a minute.”

“…Okay.”

Maria looked like she didn’t like it, but she didn’t stop me.

I went into the player waiting room.

“Ugh, black. Damn…”

and. He’s really crying.

Well, where would a 6th Circle Master and Sword Master have been hit like this?

In some ways, Claude had a good experience.

Of course, it would only be funny for me to say this as I have never been hit.

I came here to comfort you. When I look at it, a sense of playfulness arises.

In the first place, he took it from me almost as if he was robbing me of a handkerchief, right? Then I lost, but as the owner.

‘As expected, huh?’

I quietly follow Claude.

“ㅡKing!”

I was talking bullshit.

Even if I say it, it’s a bit strange.

“Ugh! Ah, lady, why are you here?”

Feeling sorry for the bigger reaction than expected, I reached out to him. When the finger touched his shoulder, he jumped back as if he had been burned, even more so than when he was hit by the sheath.

“…!”

“Sorry, is that where you got hit?”

I don’t know where the wounds are because they were cut all over the place. I hid my hands behind my back and lowered my upper body slightly, indicating that I would not touch him any more.

“…Lady. sorry. Even the young lady is embarrassed because of me.”

… huh? Doesn’t he know that I gave the handkerchief to Cecilia? ?

ah. I don’t know. That’s right.

“Heh.”

As I laughed, Claude lowered his head with an even redder face. Coming out like this makes it a little more playful.

“Hey there, Claude. How do you feel now?”

I smiled and lowered my upper body even further, looking at Claude’s face with his head down and saying teasingly.

“…Lady?”

“Let me pretend that I have won everything, and I dedicate this victory to my master, Lady Marian! How would you feel if you say that and then come back with it?”

“…I’m sorry.”

I expected a little more backlash, but you’re so apologetic?

“I guess I should return my handkerchief?”

“Ugh… I understand…”

Claude took out a handkerchief from his pocket. Hands trembling.

‘huh.?’

Claude somehow seemed to feel more of a waste of returning the handkerchief than the outcome of the game.

Although it was a little bit, I felt sorry.

“Just kidding, just take it.”

“…never. I will never lose again.”

“Well, work hard~”

I waved my hand lightly and turned around.

* * *

After noon, the white marble stadium felt so hot that it was boiling.

‘hot.’

Diego Orta rubbed his sweaty forehead with an old handkerchief.

‘Isn’t there no summer in the capital?’

The drink I had earlier. Did you say lemonade? Thanks to this, my dehydration seems to have improved.

“I want to eat it again.”

As he was from the cold northern part of the country, he was particularly vulnerable to this hot and humid weather.

But it wasn’t just his problem.

Knights from high-ranking nobles had attendants to take care of their condition, but he, who came from a fallen knight family, could not afford that.

“Driver. You’re sweating a lot. Would you like some more?”

A welcome voice was heard.

“Thank you.”

In the end, Diego drank all the time before and after the game.
