419-If white is sandwiched by black, it will be dyed black





 In order to cheer Ra-chan up, me, Eric, Ra-chan and Loretta came to the village of Coriat again.

 Alecia kindly offered to lend us the Leengrande family's carriage, but it was too much of a shame to ask, so we had to take the slowlet carriage.

 The village of Coriat is still very busy on the second day of the harvest festival.

 Yesterday, the first day of the festival, was amazing, but the enthusiasm for the festival is not waning.

 In fact, the enthusiasm was so great that it was almost as if the festival had only just begun.

Now, what shall we do now?

 I came to the village to cheer Ra-chan up, but I haven't decided what exactly I'm going to do. What will make Ra-chan feel better? I've just had breakfast, and the food thing is tough.

Take me to someplace interesting.

 When I shook it off to Eric to try it, I got a very irreverent and throwaway remark.

 It's enough for my sister to say selfish lines like that.

'That being said, the main place went around yesterday.

 As for me, I'd like to do that too, but the pitching target, kick target, and small fish scooping went around yesterday.

 As for the targets, I also set them up in the garden of the mansion as Alecia and Luna wanted, and it's not something that can only be done in the village.

'Whoa, ain't it Al! You're already here!

 As I was wondering what to do, Thor and Asmo came over.

''Oh.....

 Looking at those two, Ra-chan looks sad as he remembers the shocking scene from yesterday.

''Thor and Asmo are really at a bad time. If you two get close to them, Ra-chan will be sad, so go away.

'Huh! Why? We didn't do anything to that kid, did we?

'Yes, that's right. I need an explanation.

 I shoo Thor and Asmo away with my hand, but they don't seem to be convinced or won't turn back.

 I can't help it, so I tell them the reason for Ra-chan's shock yesterday.

 Then, Thor and Asmo made a shocked expression.

''.........Hey, Al. She really is a woman, isn't she?

'I know it's too different from the women in Colliat Village to be believed, but it's true.

I've never seen a girl with such a kind heart.

'Isn't it true that even the women of Coriat Village are as pure as Ra when they are young?

 I don't live in a village, and I'm not an equal commoner with everyone else, so I don't know the details. But I think a young child is as pure as a young child.

 When I ask such faintly hopeful questions, Asmo and Thor look at the poor guy.

'Al, the white will turn black if it's sandwiched between the black.

It's just like Reversi. Well, black ain't never gonna be white.

 It's hard to understand the painful words of Asmo and Thor.

 They say it's the pure white stuff that's easily stained with dirt. It seems I was naive in my perception.

By the way, that person over there.......is that the nobleman who was with you yesterday?

 Thor's gaze goes to Eric, who is at my side.

 I introduced Ra-chan yesterday, but you didn't introduce Eric to me.

 I mean, can you even speak politely in Thor's habit?

'Yeah, I do,'

'Eric-Silford. I'm the second son of the Silford family.

 Perhaps reading the flow of the conversation, Eric steps forward and says his name.

'I'm Thor,'

Asmo.

What is your title, Master Eric?

The barons, sir?

'The Baron? So you're with Al?

You're not from an earl or a duke.

 Thor and Asmo were somewhat nervous, but when they realized that Eric was the same baron as me, they became distracted, or rather, licked. The palming was tremendous.

''........Hey, don't insult me just because I'm like Alfried.

 Why is it assumed that you are insulted that you are like me?

'But the atmosphere is more aristocratic than Al's, isn't it?

Yeah, it's crisp.

Oh, yeah? I hope you understand.

It's messy.

 I was miffed Eric, but Thor and Asmo's blatant good-naturedness put me in a better mood.

 I'm a little pissed off that they put me down by quoting me.

 Well, I know that the Silford territory is just as rural and close to the territory's residents as the village of Coriat, so Eric won't be uncomfortable with it either.

Although the tightly packed Loretta seems to be complicated, but Thor and the others are polite to Ra-chan, so he doesn't seem to have any complaints.

The first thing that comes to mind is that you have already been promised a meeting with a nobleman. Well then, we're going to go now.''

Wait. Leave it to us to make Lady Rana happy.

 As I leave Thor and Asmo behind and try to move on, Thor pulls on my sleeve.

 It feels very disgusting, probably because the cute little Ra-chan was pulling me upwards yesterday.

''Well Thor, what do you want? You're not that kind of guy, are you?

 I got goosebumps because I was so unfamiliar with Thor's righteous dialogue that I thought it was so unfamiliar and distant.

 When I give him the benefit of the doubt, he looks awkward.

'Maybe so, but the fact that it's our fault means it's a bad batch. And we don't have any pure girls like you.

 Huh? I think I've heard this exchange somewhere. Specifically, at the mansion, a conversation between me and my mom, Erna.

"I want to cheer you up for making me sad.

 Asmo says apologetically.

 That's right. If there was such a pure and cute younger girl, everyone would want to cheer her up.

 Normally, we, who are servants of the existence of an older sister, are vulnerable to Ra-chan, who is like a younger sister who inspires a sense of protection.

'All right. Anyway, I'm going to ask you for your opinion, do you have a good idea? I like the fun and games that are typical of Colliat Village. Not a kick target or anything.

 When I told them what I wanted, Thor and Asmo looked at each other and nodded.

Yes! You can play like a village!

'Yeah, Al only goes around the central part of the high road, but the Harvest Festival does some interesting things on the edges.

 I have not been to every corner of the harvest festival, perhaps because of the busy schedule of visiting nobles.

 Maybe there are some events that some of the villagers know about.

''Really? Can you show me around?

I'll take care of it!

 I honestly get on board, and Thor and Asmo walk off with enthusiasm.

'That's why we should go to the place Thor and Asmo recommended.

'Where do you recommend Thor and Asmo? Okay.

 I'm not sure what's going on, but I guess I know we can go to a fun place, and Ra-chan's face broke out into a sort of smile.

 It would be nice if Ra-chan could continue to smile.
