But if you hit me too openly, it will be noticeable.

I first blocked Adele’s attack.

Of course, Adele swung her sword right away. This much was expected.

And at the same time, the fact that they are rushing towards Diane.

Fortunately, Diane was gritting her teeth and rushing toward me as best she could, and Adele’s sword that was trying to hit me seemed to be full of sincerity.

If this were the case, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was at least one mistake.

good.

I decided to focus on blocking Adele’s swords coming in succession. Since I blocked the swords coming in succession, I would of course be able to claim that I could not block the swords coming from an unseen side.

widely!

The swords clashed in succession. While Adel was a little embarrassed, perhaps not expecting to block the next attack—

Tup.

The sword touched my waist.

Actually, it didn’t hit me that weakly. A normal person would probably have screamed. Of course, Diane was rushing toward me with all her might.

“Oh!”

Diane opened her eyes wide and shouted, perhaps embarrassed by the fact that she had hit a person with a hard sword.

“… … .”

And for a moment, the training room fell into silence.

“… … Ah.”

A beat later, Diane made that sound,

“Wow!”

Immediately, his expression became filled with joy.

Would a person who thought they could never achieve it look like that if they took on the challenge and achieved what they wanted?

But Diane’s expression quickly disappeared again.

That’s because it’s not that easy to like someone after beating them up. You wouldn’t know it if you were a professional player who played every game, but if you weren’t like that, it would be hard to like someone easily. Even tomorrow, you’ll have to meet them in class.

“I’m okay. I’m not in a position to get hurt like this.”

He looked towards Amelia while saying this, and froze for a moment when he saw Amelia looking this way with her eyes wide open.

Uh, no, there’s no need to look at me like that.

I felt like something big would happen if I left it alone, so I decided to be a little more proactive in telling the truth that I was okay.

“It’s really okay. Why are people from Delki City called Delkisi people?”

“Uh, well, then… … .”

I smiled slightly and said to Diane who was fidgeting.

“You succeeded in attacking me for the first time since taking the class. Well done.”

At first, I was going to say, “Congratulations,” but I changed my words a little. When I said congratulations, I felt so… … It won’t make you look like you’re showing off.

“Wow… … !”

And it was only after hearing my words, which continued without any significant change in expression, that Diane’s expression brightened.

“I did it!”

And then he started running around on the spot.

To be honest, it didn’t look very aristocratic. But it looked better. Instead of carrying weight that didn’t suit me, I looked much prettier with my innocent appearance.

“You are great, Lady Hoover.”

When Diane held out her palm, Adele clapped for it and gave a high five.

“No, I did this alone—”

And while saying that, he suddenly stopped as if the battery had died.

Diane’s face, which was still with her mouth open, became increasingly red.

“… … .”

And when Diane, who had been running around, closed her mouth, the room was filled with silence.

Adele still had a smile on her face, but that wasn’t what was important right now.

What was more important was that Diane was running around the room in an unbecoming aristocratic way, and that she was high-fiving Adele, whom she hated so much.

If I hadn’t come to my senses, I probably wouldn’t have run with my arms around my face.

“… … Well then, shall we call it a day for today’s class?”

I opened my mouth cautiously.

“I hope Miss Carlins succeeds next time.”

“Yes, definitely next time.”

Adele confidently said that to me without any expression of regret.

Then next time, let’s make sure Adele succeeds.

I wonder how Diane will react then.

“Then Grand Duchess, today’s sword training ends here.”

“Yes, I understand.”

At my words, Amelia smiled slightly and tried to get up from her seat—

“Ah.”

I groaned softly and sat down again.

uh?

“Oh, sorry, wait, I think I sprained my ankle—”

“Are you okay?”

Before Amelia finished speaking, I was already walking towards her.

And then he knelt down in front of Amelia and held Amelia’s feet.

“Oh, now, wait… … !”

And without hesitation, I took off Amelia’s shoes and socks.

Even the tips of Amelia’s toes were beautiful, as if someone had sculpted them that way on purpose. Well, maybe that’s because the novel writer set it that way.

“Where and how does it hurt?”

But that wasn’t the important thing right now. What was more important was that Amelia was sick.

“Yes… … !Ah, that’s not it… … Sigh!”

Does it really hurt a lot?

Thinking about places where she could get hurt during sword training, I carefully held Amelia’s ankles and feet and turned them around.

On the outside, it didn’t look like it was seriously injured.

“Maybe the muscles are surprised.”

“Ugh!”

When I gently pressed her feet with my hands, Amelia wriggled and moaned.

“Does it hurt here?”

“Oh, no… … That’s not it.”

“Then, how about here”

“Ahh!”

“Perhaps your toe—”

“Now, wait, wait a minute, Elsie.”

As Amelia put her hand on my shoulder and said that, I turned my head and looked at Amelia again.

Amelia’s face is red and she is breathing heavily… … It wasn’t something worth saying, but it felt very sexy.

Moreover, the sweat had not dried yet and my hair was sticking to my face, which made the atmosphere even worse.

“It’s okay… … .It’s okay. I think I was just mistaken. It’s not that it hurts, it’s that my legs may have lost strength—”

“Then it is even more dangerous. If you fall while walking with your legs weak, you may get seriously hurt. I can pick you up and take you there.”

“… … Isn’t there a need to do that?”

Amelia’s gaze glanced in a certain direction, so I followed her gaze and turned the dog around.

Standing there was Diane, who was looking at me with her face red and covering her mouth for some reason, and Adele, who looked like she didn’t know where to put her eyes.

why?

Could it be that touching my feet was a bit embarrassing as a nobleman? At least Amelia wouldn’t have blushed for taking off her shoes. In this world, there were dresses that completely exposed the back, and the shoulder and cleavage were almost the same. Because there were many cases where it was revealed.

But still, since you may have injured your foot, wouldn’t it be strange to touch it a little?

“… … .”

hmm.

The weight of silence was heavier than it had been a moment ago, right after Diane left the room.

Maybe it was because I didn’t know much about aristocratic society.

I slowly took my hand off Amelia’s feet. I didn’t even bother putting her socks and shoes on.

Instead, I roughly put the socks into the shoes Amelia was wearing.

And then he helped Amelia up.

Amelia leaned toward me, unable to put her right foot, which had taken off her shoe, on the floor.

Sadly enough, even in this situation, my mind is aware of Amelia’s body. A body that is not too hard and soft. A body that makes me suffer every morning, a body that I so desperately want to have.

If Amelia could sense what I was thinking right now, she would have been disillusioned long ago.

It was absurd for me to think like this while my friend was injured.

“Well, first, let’s wash up, have a quick chat, and then head back.”

Because it’s always been that way.

“Ah, yes, yes!”

Adele quickly shouted, turned around, and poked Diane, who was still staring at us with her mouth covered, in the side.

“Ugh!”

Diane glared at Adele for a moment while making such a comical noise, but when she realized why Adele had stabbed her in the side, she quickly turned around and followed Adele.

So why are you doing that?

“… … .”

Amelia, who was leaning on me, didn’t say anything else.

I think I did something wrong.

I kept tilting my head, but in the end, I took Amelia out of the room without understanding what the mistake was.

*

Oh really… … .

I didn’t know Elsie would react so harshly.

No, of course, I hoped for that to some extent. I knew that out of the three of them, he was thinking of me the most and that he was worried about me.

but… … You rush at me like that without even caring about what other people think.

It was good. It was definitely good.

But in front of others, I made such a fuss.

… … Well, it probably looked like he was just moaning in pain, right?

First of all, I said my feet hurt.

That’s why I’m still pretending like this.

… … By the way, Elsie’s arms were always warm and nice.

Um, well.

I was a little embarrassed, but I think I could bear it if I could get this kind of benefit.
