▶Sub episode. Cleared Isabella’s Call.◀

▶Achievement: 82%◀

The status window that appears as soon as you leave Isabella’s room.

If you look at the assigned achievement level, you can see that it was cleared without any problems.

But I guess you could say I clearly missed my opportunity.

The damage suffered by Shatrene from the Waglu faction is considerable. The soil, which had been slowly returning by neutralizing the field, was once again greatly damaged by the applied fertilizer. I messed up even more by deceiving the Wagluo faction through acting.

In any case, money is needed to produce Chatelaine’s famous products again. I missed the opportunity to get that money.

Moreover, Isabella had no idea that Arina had come to visit me. If I use this, I might be able to eliminate the unfavorable conditions and get through the Yellow Dragon Martial Arts Tournament properly.

I passed up the opportunity by kicking it away.

With the saying that it is not necessary.

Some might say it was stupid, but it was my choice.

Because I don’t want to go out and receive help from these families.

We’re going to be strangers anyway.

Once I step away, I will never see you again.

So make it as clean as possible.

So that you can never catch me.

So that no trace of dry matter remains.

It was possible to prepare in advance.

In that respect, this chapter. I really liked Chapter 3 in the game.

However, I was wondering if some kind of variable might suddenly appear after I became possessed.

“Now, even after I have been possessed, there doesn’t seem to be any restrictions.”

Then I can be self-sufficient without any problems.

Like when I started working part-time, discovered another means of making money, and became immersed in it.

I walked down the hallway, satisfied with the situation not having changed much.

And we met at an amazing timing.

“…”

The red ponytail stops.

Blue eyes stare at me, and the eyebrows twitch slightly.

-Tiring!

▶Complete the conversation with Arina.◀

okay. The one in front of me was Arina.

It was a very strange situation.

Arinara at this timing. For some reason, I remember the place and the timing.

‘Then, shall we react like we did when we greeted each other in the morning?’

I immediately turned to the options window.

But… I don’t know why I don’t like it.

[ 1. (Just pass by in silence.) ]

[ 2. Don’t misunderstand. Because you called me because of the symposium gift. ]

[ 3. Is there anything you need? ]

In number 2, Karsein appears to be backing away as if he had done something wrong.

Number 3… You can get one piece of information, but it’s already obtained in the game, so there’s no problem. Even during retries, I was never held back by that.

Therefore, the correct answer is number 1.

If Arina chooses option 1, she misunderstands and catches me. If you clear up this misunderstanding, your intimacy will increase and you will be able to move on without any problems.

‘But I don’t like this.’

Looking at the options I didn’t like, I thought I should take the initiative to change the situation this time.

“If I told you that I called you because of the symposium gift, you would naturally be suspicious, right? Arina.”

“What are you talking about out of nowhere?”

Arina twitched her eyebrows and shouted back at me.

And the selection window was updated, opening another window.

I smiled to myself and chose that option.

[ 2. (sarcastically) You’re thinking that I’ve lied to your mother, right? ]☑

“When you saw her come out of this room, you thought I had lied to the Duchess, right?”

Arina’s frown frowned after hearing the story.

I feel quite uncomfortable.

I answered Arina jokingly, shaking my shoulders.

“Don’t worry. Regarding the Yellow Dragon Martial Arts Tournament, I said I would attend, and I accepted the conditions as is. I did not accept the allowance given as a gift for the symposium because it did not fit my topic. In short, this is something you never thought about.”

“You…!”

Arina could not stand it anymore and her face was distorted.

“Do not exaggerate. I didn’t even ask or think if he did that!”

“Really? I did that because I was wondering if it would be like the morning greeting.”

“Morning greetings…?”

After hearing the words “morning greetings” and thinking about it, Arina’s mouth opened slightly as if she was remembering that time.

That expression was quite worth looking at.

After that, I passed by Arina without even looking back.

***

Inside a clothing store.

This place, which has a Closed sign posted to keep out customers, is currently busier than ever.

Costume cotton costume. Accessories are accessories. In addition, various cosmetics that will brighten your beauty.

The employees hired to dress up someone to look prettier than ever had their eyes lit up.

Inside the dressing room.

Harnier, fully dressed, opens the curtains from side to side and comes out.

All the employees were amazed.

no. It wasn’t just admiration.

“Oh my god…!”

“Ah. This is art. This is decoration!”

“How long I have been waiting for this day.”

It was a scene they too had been deeply yearning for.

The flower that always pursued simplicity and hid its splendor was finally in full bloom in the present.

Harnier shyly asked if such a reaction from the top employees was very unfamiliar.

“Is this really true…? I don’t think there’s a need to decorate it like this…”

The employees’ eyes widened at those words.

“Of course! Don’t get hit!”

“You need to decorate this much, not this much!”

“You shouldn’t have been able to decorate yourself every time and just watched, right?”

“A noble daughter should have been decorated like this a long time ago!”

They deny it with one voice.

Harnier breaks into a cold sweat without realizing it due to the enormous force.

Still, she still doesn’t seem to understand, so she asks again.

“After all, it’s a martial arts competition. There’s no need to do that unless I’m going to a fashion show by decorating myself…”

““Lady! That’s not it!””

The employees opened their eyes bright yellow and refuted this.

He vehemently denies this, saying it will never happen, and even brushes aside Harnier’s doubts.

From first to ten, there was no explanation that it should never be done, but Harnier was intimidated without knowing it and ended up saying yes.

“Mmmmm. I think you can wear it like this on the day.”

“Is there anything else you need? Isn’t there something more?”

“Enjoy! Smells can also be subtly irritating.”

“That’s right! Let’s go pick some! I have to find something that suits her.”

The employees rushed out amidst a heated discussion.

At this time when people were rushing in, Harnier was finally able to take a breather.

“Hehe. Are you having a hard time?”

“Yes. It’s harder than I thought. I have to do this on the same day.”

What is it like to take a breather?

A sigh comes out again.

Don’t you wash your body thoroughly in the morning to the point where it’s completely shiny?

Don’t they pour all kinds of medicinal herbs, bath salts, cleansers, etc. and make them take a bath?

It was not easy to change clothes and decorations as if she were a doll.

“Lady. Still, this is pretty good. When you catch other noble ladies, they get punished more severely? Clothes are also tight. Because that wasn’t enough, I even went on a diet.”

“Ugh…”

Harnier is shaking as if he doesn’t want to even imagine it.

But there is a reason for this rehearsal.

Mina smiles sinisterly and throws a fastball that she has never been able to throw before.

“Still, you want to look pretty, right? In front of Master Karssein.”

“…”

There is no denial.

Instead, only silence and flushed cheeks remain.

Heat creeping up from somewhere has the same effect.

A woman’s desire to look pretty to the man she likes.

A woman’s desire to approach her man closely so that he will not be betrayed by other women.

This strong emotion that came from love was a powerful power source that could endure even through difficult rehearsals.

“It doesn’t look strange… does it?”

“Are you saying that? You are the prettiest in the world. It’s not surprising that all kinds of men are attracted to her. Again─”

“Stop it! Just stop there!”

Of course, it will still take some time to get used to this shyness.

Mina clears her throat for emphasis.

“Hmm. Of course you haven’t forgotten, but it’s important so I’ll say it one more time. In the Yellow Dragon Martial Arts Tournament, a fiancée’s appearance is the biggest source of support for her fiancé.”

“Ugh. Oh, I know.”

“I’m glad to hear that you understand. So, from now on, let’s make things for real cheering?”

“Real support…? Isn’t this everything? ”

“Huh. Did you really think this would be everything?”

“Uh, that’s right… no… hey?”

As if he really thought that was all, Harnier crossed his index fingers and wiggled them.

And Mina sighs and touches her forehead.

‘but. It was worth it. The young lady was in a position to be sold, let alone proposed properly.’

In that situation, there is no time to know how to exchange tokens with each other and how to confirm romantic feelings.

All I learned was what was written in the Noble Book of Etiquette.

There’s still a long way to go.

Although my eyes have been opened, there is a lot to teach me.

Still, there is something fortunate about it.

-bang!

“You don’t want to lose Master Karssein to another woman, do you?”

“Of course!”

One thing is clear: not wanting to be taken away by another woman.

Jealousy.

This emotion that Harnier possesses will become his greatest weapon.

“Then, shall we make your own token?”

***

-Sssseu. Ssuk. widely.

The solution process, proof, and results follow with elegant pen strokes.

There are clear explanations that support these formulas.

How does this pop out right away in just a few seconds?

Flora let out an involuntary exclamation as she watched Carcein coming up with an answer even though it had only been a few seconds since she had asked the question.

“The solution ends here. Review and solve the rest yourself.”

Meanwhile, Karsein stood up.

Flora urgently catches Karcein.

“Ber, already? Let’s go a little longer!”

“I released everything that needed to be released, but do you really need to stay here?”

“Well, that is…”

Flora, who had nothing to say, pursed her lips.

I want to ask him to teach me more, but Karssein has already solved all the problems. So there is nothing to say.

“There’s nothing more, right? I’m going.”

Meanwhile, Karsein doesn’t even show much interest and goes outside.

“Huh? Oh, hey, over there…!”

– Sweet.

When the door closes, Flora’s lips stick out, or when she sees him leaving so indifferently, she sends him a sign asking him to stay a little longer.

Karssein just turned around and went about his business.

As I walked steadily to my office, it was time to start my new schedule.

“Master.”

Camilla holds out a letter.

It is a notice of attendance with the words “Yellow Dragon Martial Arts Competition” written in bold letters.

But there is more than just one letter.

“This is a letter that arrived from Viscount Ptois. He somehow reached me by asking Lord Radiel for his help.”

“Really?”

You must not forget.

In Chapter 3, the fact that Another Plan is always in operation.

Those who are watching my movements closely within the family.

In other words, since Bagland’s vassals were the source of Noblesse points, it was necessary to pay attention to them.

And if you use it well…

It could be money-making. So I prepared in advance.

“Send it to Viscount Ptoa.”

I need to find a way to raise funds to move out of this house.
