"Well, did he ever make such a fuss?"
"Yes. To be honest, she's good at it, but sometimes she does strange things, so I can't get rid of her as a boss."

　Ray and Angela's voices echo in the hut prepared by Fritzione.
　They both wonder how each other agree, even though they've only just met today.
　Ray is in his mid teens and Angela in her mid-20s.
　If I were not good at it, I would be nearly ten years apart.
　Normally, if you're that far apart, you'll find something to be reserved about.
　But Ray and Angela did not feel that reserved.
　It's a strange feeling for Angela, who has grown up as a Countess, let alone Ray, who has little respect for others.
　Angela, who has prepared a sandwich for Ray and is encouraged to eat it by herself because it's boring, even though she carries it to her mouth, she slants her head inwardly.
　Fritzione, who is also his master, is talking too much of a fool, but quickly denies it.

(I can't believe I'd like someone this younger... no, I do, but it's not a man and a woman's, but a friendship, so I don't think it's a friendship.)

　be slightly confused inside
　In fact, in the past, I've felt something difficult to approach, although I've said too much that I hate men. 　
　That's why I joined the White Rose Knights, which are made up exclusively of women.
　For some reason I don't have to stand up to Ray.

(I don't mean there's anything wrong with it... but is it a matter of appearance?)

　Speaking with Ray, Angela's gaze turns to his face.
　With the robe hooded down, we could see Ray's face clearly now.
　Woman's face. It's not surprising to say that he has such a neat face as a man that some people may look like a girl even if he's wearing a robe.
　That's enough to make you feel comfortable in women's clothes.

(Oh, but I don't think so. It's certainly girlish in appearance, but the gesture is definitely that of a man.)

　Having been born with this face, she thought that she really needed to be masculine in her behavior, and because she didn't know Ray's past, the story of Ray's childhood was created in Angela.
　You must have questioned Angela's appearance. Ray opens his mouth as he eats a sandwich of boiled pork topped with sweet and sour fruit sauce and crispy vegetables.

"Why, all of a sudden?" Do you have any idea?"
"... well, well," I have a lot more to think about. I have a suggestion from His Highness Mercurio, in particular.
"I'm in trouble,"

　Angela understands how she can talk to Ray and be natural, as Ray responds in a way that says it doesn't matter to her.

(Well, Mr. Ray thinks nothing of the nobility.)

　Angela, the daughter of Count Luccinova, won the title of captain of the White Rose Knights.
　However, she is definitely above average, though not as attractive as Vihela is.
　The marriageable age as an aristocrat is already over, but it gives it to those who see meek femininity.
　In terms of family lineage, the count was not such a high-ranking aristocrat, but he had considerable influence among the first princesses.
　Looking at all of them, Angela was quite attractive to aristocratic men.
　That is why many people have approached Angela until now, and the other day, the next head of the baron family confessed that he wanted her to go out with him on the premise of marriage.
　But...

(All those who confess to me have some ulterior motive behind their eyes.)

　His ulterior motive was to have a connection with the Counts, to have the rank of captain of the White Rose Knights, or to have a more direct desire to have Angela, Angela.
　Angela, of course, doesn't think that pure feelings of love are important in marriage between aristocrats.

(And yet... it's not strange that you want me to hide my ulterior motive so that least.)

　I would not say no to a political marriage in order to save the family if the Counts of Luxinois were in financial straits.
　Angela's father, who is the head of the Count of Luxinois, and her brother, the next head of the family, are more capable than they are, and there is no need for the Count of Luxinois to be troubled.
　No, there must be a little bit of trouble, but it wasn't until Angela thought about a political marriage.
　Compared to the men who are full of ulterior motives who approach them, Ray seems quite different even though he knows that he is the same man who is eating a sandwich deliciously in front of Angela now.
　have no regard for the nobility It's easy to say, but how many can do it in truth?
　With that in mind, Angela's presence was undoubtedly rare.

(but it was rather disappointing to think that there was already a Vihela, as Prince Fritzione said.)

　A light affection I learned during my conversation with Ray... I can't call it love at all, but I realize that I might have changed my mind as I grew up, but I'm going to forget it right away.

"But don't you think it was absurd to go straight to the imperial capital without disguising yourself?"

　Rey's running dagger reaches out to the water he gets.
　The first time I drank it, I was surprised at how delicious it was, but now I could even calm down and enjoy the water slowly.

"This robe has a cover-up effect," You can't find it unless you're a very sharp wizard."
"... well, since I've actually come this far without being found, I think I can trust you there."

　Passing Ray's mind, nodding to Angela's words, the face of Kabazid he met just before entering the castle.
　You may have found out who you are. I agree, but it's also true that nothing has happened so far.

"Lady Ray? What's the matter?"
"No, it's nothing. ...and what is the matter with your future plans? Was Mercurio's request written in the letter that Widale gave you?"

　It's fun to keep talking, but that won't go on forever.
　That's what Ray said, but what he came back was Angela's face with an ambiguous smile.

"I beg your pardon, but I don't have the authority to answer the question." but I think Prince Fritzione will come to this hut within the course of the day, and I wonder if you will be able to listen to it then."
"…I don't think it's necessary to put it that far. You said you wanted to join us in the first place, didn't you expect that kind of condition?"

　Angela's reluctance to reply to me was probably due to her being under the control of Mercurio, but she still replied with an ambiguous smile.
　Whatever you say, the person in front of you will not divulge information about this case. When Ray decides so, he breathes out a little bit and delivers the last sandwich to his mouth.
　I judged it useless to say anything more.
　From there, we go back to normal chatter and talk as much as we can about each other's mouth.
　Angela, for example, wanted to know about the life of the glyphon.
　Juma was prohibited from participating in the competition, and Seto himself rarely left the stable of the Kutei residence.
　Still, Ray's subservience to the Gryphon has spread more than enough since the Spring War and the nickname crimson.

"Set... I see." It's like a friendly dog."
"...isn't it a Gryphon, then, rather a cat?"
"It's true that the lower half of the body is a lion, so it's true that it's a cat's habit, but overall, it's close to dogs. That's a puppy, too."

　Angela, who described a Gryphon over two meters long as a puppy, can't easily believe that.
　Of course, Gryphon is one of the most famous monsters in the world.
　Angela has some unbelievable eyes, but Ray knows it and says nothing.
　I've been looked at in the same way several times in my life.
　I understood that no matter how much Ray explained to me, it would not be easy to convince others.
　Seeing is believing. And Hyakumi is a touch.
　Seto is not loved by Date from all over the guillem, nor is he making enthusiastic fans everywhere he goes.
　Some insurgents are taking part in the shortstop against Seth, and more and more insurgents themselves are loving him.They are especially popular with prostitutes, and sometimes they get food from prostitutes who don't work well when they are on the move.
　...though Ray himself didn't notice it at all, many of the prostitutes' aims are to get closer to Ray through Seto.
　It's natural. You can't usually see everything on your face because you're wearing your hood down, but Ray's features are definitely as neat as a woman's face.
　He was nicknamed in his mid-teens and had enough power to be considered the greatest rebel force.
　If, by any chance, one billion yen should be favored by Ray... and if you could redeem it, it would be a big turnaround in life.
　Unfortunately, however, Ray himself had no idea that it was being appealed.
　What Ray felt was that he was happy when Seto was loved.
　Of course, I was at a loss for what to look at when I saw a man's ruthless costume like the one worn by prostitutes.

"Seto likes to take a nap, too. in the spring sun, in the summer shade, in the soft autumn sun I sleep well in such a place. and I also lean against Seto's body and sleep."

　Originally, Seto has no problem sleeping at all for a certain period of time.
　But Sett himself likes to take a nap, especially with Ray, which is a blissful moment for him.

"She has a soft body, and her feathers and hair are as smooth as silk, making it ideal for sleeping."
"Oh, I'm kind of interested in sleeping that well."

　As they talk about Seto that way, the conversation eventually changes and Ray asks Angela what life is like as a nobleman.
　Speaking of Ray as a close nobleman, Elena and Dasker. What's more, it's called Arla.
　Ray doesn't know much about ordinary aristocrats because they are not all ordinary aristocrats.

(In the case of Vihela, he is a royal, and the nobles in the rebel positions are not to be relied upon because they are in an emergency.)

　Angela smiles a little bitterly as she recalls the faces of the nobility, including Vihela, past her mind.

"I'm sorry, but in my case, I'm different from ordinary nobles..."

　Ray also agrees with Angela, who tells him that it is impossible to make a general aristocrat the leader of the White Rose Knights.

"But... yes." I think my brother is a common nobleman."
"Brother?"
"Yes. He's the next head of the Earl of Luxinois family, so I think he's close to the nobility that Ray says he is."

　Angela's explanation continues, without realizing that she calls herself Ray instead of Ray, and with a frank tone.

"Wake up at a fixed time, finish the day on schedule, and go to bed at a fixed time. That's all I have to say, but someone has to take responsibility for it if it's a little off schedule. Some people say it's formal, but you don't have to worry about starvation instead."
"...wow!"

　Ray's honest feeling is that he's just as right as he says...
　Originally, Ray doesn't like to be tied up. I was very, if not very sure I could get on with it, if I wanted to be a nobleman.
　This is, however, the case of Count Luccinois.
　Many aristocrats have a more liberal family style, and some of them behave as they please without being on the sidelines.

"Phew, I knew it. I didn't think the aristocratic life would suit Ray."

　Angela mutters with a smile at Ray's face.
　In this way we would talk to each other and kill time until someone approached the hut.
