11 Love




 Marie shuddered as she looked at the gray armor standing in the arena.

(What. What the hell. I haven't heard of anyone that strong. I am! (I don't know anything about this stuff!)

 As soon as he moves his foot off the ground, his attendants rescue him. He appears to be unconscious, though he is in a life-threatening condition.

 Kyle was surprised.

Is this really safe? All four of us lost with almost nothing to do.

 Julius clasped his hand.

 He looked at his own white armor.

''- I didn't think I was that good of an opponent. But my armor is made with the best technology in the kingdom. Don't worry, Marie, don't worry.

 Marie smiled awkwardly.

(You all ended up getting beaten up for saying that! They're really useless. (Come to think of it, these guys are so useless and they're losing so much in the war part that I pushed my brother to clear them out.

 Marie's thoughts were reminiscent of her previous life.

 Maybe it was an escape from reality, not wanting to admit to this current situation.

(It's mostly my brother's fault! I told my mom I was going on a trip, and she died just like that--and then there was no place for me in the family! I couldn't get married, I couldn't have a ceremony, my partner ran off with me, and he didn't even help me! This is all my brother's fault! (Yes, and that Leon guy looks so much like my brother, it's disgusting!

 Julius took off his jacket.

 Then he was dressed in a suit that looked like a full body tights. It was a thoughtful garment, as normal clothes would be an obstacle to entering the armor.

 But when you actually see it -.

(It's kind of silly. In the game, it was a bit exciting to see the muscles floating around.)

 As Julius entered the armor, the eyes of the armor's helmet glowed. They were twin-eyes, and they were uselessly robotic.

 Kyle looked up at the white armor and looked envious.

'I like it! I want that thing too.''

 Marie shook her head.

'You can't because you're not a knight. Besides, you're an elf so you can't move it.'

'I won't know until I try. I'm a half-elf, so it's possible.

No. And I'm going to take my armor and--

 That much out of her mouth, Marie thought.

(Oh, what? (If a sub-race and a person interbreed, they shouldn't be able to have children... well, it's a game, so maybe that's ambiguous in that area)

 Julius looked down at Marie.

'I'm going to go, Marie,'

 To such a Julius, Marie recalls the words in her head.

(As I recall, at a time like this--)

'Yes. I hope Julius wins.

Oh, please!

 The dialogue and attitude imitated the protagonist. Marie was playing the ideal woman in front of five people.

(Haha, it's exhausting. It's really hard to imitate a protagonist who's a bratty, flowery head to begin with.)

 In his second life, he has worked hard to take the hero's place in the world.

 He staked out the protagonist everywhere he met, kicked him out, and charmed the boys by imitating their gestures and dialogue.

 Some of them knew what kind of personality they had, but they were successful in doing so.

 The fact that he almost got rid of Angelica pretty early on is proof of that. But because of that, an irregularity had emerged.

 It's Rion.

(Anyway, we have to do something about that mob. I mean, what will happen if we lose this? (I think it was game over in the game)

 It was Marie's opinion that she wanted Julius to win by all means, since her life was at stake.

(Yes. I need to enjoy this world more. I have to fall in love with all kinds of other men and live a luxurious life. My old world is full of terrible things. I'm finally going to find happiness. I'm gonna be as happy as that pig f*ck!



 White armor descending into the arena.

 The armor, which looked as if it was shining, was one of the strongest armor in the kingdom. An even stronger version will come out later, but for now, it's one of the strongest.

 ........The fact that there are other strongest versions means that it's not the strongest or something like that, no need to go into it.

''I didn't think it would be my turn too. You should be proud.

 I was pleasantly surprised by the prayerful cheering of the crowd in front of me in the face of the pompousness.

 Maybe some of them were stupid enough to bet all their money on it. But I'm the one who will win.

 I know I'm a small guy.

 One of the reasons I went to the duel is because of the allogants, but that's because Your Highnesses are still first-year students.

 Moreover, the stage at the end of the first semester is equal to the stage at which they have just begun to grow. The gems that will become stronger in the future are also inexperienced and inadequate at this stage.

 If you want to beat them, now is the time. It was good for me.

"Even if I beat the small fry and take pride in them....hey?

 I tried to agitate him, but His Highness' response was thin.

 He held a shield in his left hand and then a sword in his right.

 There were two guns attached to it that hung over both shoulders from the backpack and had a rotating magazine.

 The armor, which was quite luxurious, was exactly what one would call a prince's armor.

 The person with whom the protagonist was supposed to be tied........should have been.

''Your Highness, may I ask you one question?''

"If you can answer the question.

What do you think of Olivia, the special student?

 However, His Highness's response was thin. He didn't seem to understand why he was being asked such a question.

''Is it called Olivia? I hear you're working hard, so what?'

...I see.

 I hold up a shovel, too. It's a surreal sight when I think about it. But is it okay to switch to the blade now?

 If you've come this far with a shovel, you might as well fight with a shovel to the end.

 The ref looked a little distressed.

 But he raised his arm and swung it down.

''Hajime!''

 However, when the signal to start was given, both parties did not move.

 His Highness held his shield out in front of him in a waiting position.

 Luxion was calm.

''Do you want to take a back seat to the battle so far? You're a bad person. The difference in performance is obvious, isn't it? It seems to be better than other armor, but that's really all the armor you have.''

Then we'll just plant it.

 Aroganz took a big step and poked at the shield with his shovel. Then, His Highness passes the attack and slashes at him with the sword in his right hand.

 When he catches it with the handle of the shovel, sparks are generated.

''Still more ah!''

 He attacks continuously with his shield and sword.

 I catch it with my shovel and drop down while bouncing. As His Highness pushes me, the people around me cheer feverishly.

''These guys just don't want to lose the bet, do they?

''I guess the master's loss will lower his pent-up energy. As I said before, he was preaching very comfortably. To the audience, isn't the master a bit of a dick?

'Don't use those words! Oops!

 His Highness's sharp thrusts loomed in front of him, moving and dropping down as if he were skating on the ground. It's the same on the other side, sliding and moving across the ground like a skate and slashing at me.

 As I catch it, I hear His Highness' voice.

''I can't lose. Even for her to wish me victory--I can't lose!''

 The blade grew brighter and brighter, as if it was filled with spirit.

 Blue flames came out of the back of the armor, and His Highness' armor was so beautiful.

''I recognize its artistic value.''

'It's a compliment for you. But you know what, I can't back down from that either.

 He catches each spirited blow with his shovel and flicks it. The contents of the armor - I can see that the pilot's skills are better over there.

''His Royal Highness, that's impressive. You are much more spirited than the previous four. After all, didn't the previous four have their hearts set on it? One less person means more time for myself and Marie, so I was hoping your highness would disappear!

"Nonsense! What do you know about us?

 The blue flames on the white armor's back were even stronger and gaining momentum. I could see that they were forcing the armor to overturn the overwhelming performance gap.

 That's how serious he is........

''I don't know what's going on, though. I don't think it's a good idea to keep it that way.

 The audience - if you look at Olivia-san and Angelica-san, they are looking at me.

 Olivia-san was cheering me on as she crossed her arms and prayed.

 Angelica-san had a complicated look on her face. I guess she doesn't like the fact that I'm fighting with His Highness.

 I'm going to talk to His Highness.

''Your Highness, how does it feel to seriously love others? I don't know how I feel about that, you know?

Of course. That's why you can get in other people's way. If you've ever really loved someone, you wouldn't be causing a dueling frenzy like this! If you really love her, then step aside gracefully!'

'Is this about Angelica? No~ I think I love your highness.

"Not--

What?

 As the flames on his back gained momentum, His Highness's armor increased in speed.

 He moved faster than any opponent and slashed at it.

 That's how serious he must be.

''There's no way his feelings are love! He had no idea how I felt! Just like a woman of the court. Forcing me to live a life of royalty! I didn't want to be born into royalty. I didn't want to live in a court where no one could see me.

 I don't have any choice. You are royalty.

 I suppose it would be nice to say that, but I was not born into the royal family because I love it.

Marie was the only woman who noticed my feelings for you.

 So she's the type of woman you don't see at the court, and while I was curious about her, I was tricked into thinking that she was colossal.

 It was supposed to be Olivia who was originally related to him. From a game point of view, though.

 This is the result of being ruined because of the reincarnation.

 Five ruffians have been groped, and they're being humiliated.

The same goes for you, talking big! Your words are so flimsy! Now you're just a man who has gained great power and arrogance! Are you enjoying this? 'How does it feel to overwhelm the others with that much power and feel like you're preaching from above!

That's great!

''Nah!''

 I kicked off His Highness's armor and was protected by his shield. The moment he was blown backwards, he was bombarded by the cannons on both shoulders, but he didn't guard.

 Alloganz was unwavering. He didn't get a scratch.

'I feel great already! It makes me feel better when I twist and preach with overwhelming force to you guys with all that bluster and bluster. I don't know about your people who can't talk back, either. Well, the way you can only talk back to him about your losing habits only makes you miserable, too! And let me tell you something. I may be arrogant, sure, but you guys can't even beat me like that. How do you feel about that? How does it feel to be defeated by someone you've looked down on, prince!

"You are...

 He twists and preaches to his opponents with overwhelming force.

 It's going to be addictive.

 And the people I'm dealing with are the ones who looked down on me I guess that's the point of feeling less guilty.

 Luxion agrees with me.

 This guy's voice doesn't leak out. He doesn't let his conversation with me get out. He's very capable, but....

''It's over when you can't argue with the master degree. However, he probably couldn't say it back due to the shock of losing. Even so, you are a trash human being. I admire it.''

 He swung his left hand and struck the shield, and His Highness's armor was spewing smoke as if his left hand had been overloaded.

 The shield warped and His Highness threw away the shield. The fingers of the armor were broken and bent, and I could see that they were no longer useful.

'And I'll tell you one thing,' he said, 'I don't care how you feel. I don't care how you feel, idiot! For the most part, you don't know how I feel! And besides, Angelica's feelings--

"Shut the f*ck up!

 He slashes at me, and I use a shovel to make my head come together with a shovel for a bracing battle. There is a weight difference and this one is larger.

 It would appear to be in the shape of His Highness' armor covering him.

'What is it, you didn't want to be born into royalty, you know. Did you ever try to sell yourself to an old pervert? Have you ever asked a girl to bow down to a girl and ask her to come to your wife? Have you ever been told that you don't want to be in the country or that you should support your mistress too? You're miserable. How do you know how it feels to be married and have all the support in your life and then be told that love is nurtured with a mistress!

 Seriously, they said it, and I'm sure many boys would agree with me.

 I could see the boys in the audience nodding or agreeing with tears in their eyes.

 Guys I'm going to give this naive boner a tendril now, so watch it from the spot!

'Yeah, what does it matter? You're all free! You just have to find the right partner!'

 I was so angry that I hit him several times. Each time, the white armor would shake and I could hear the enduring voice of His Highness.

'Freedom! Find a good partner? Freedom for a man like me who has been struggling to get by! Don't you dare take me for an idiot, you stupid bong! You, with your innocence at stake! Risk your life! In a little boat! You can't sail into the sky! Having a beautiful fiancée like that, and being allowed to play with other women you didn't want to be born into a royal family, you know? You're having a blast! Come back!

"This is not a game! I mean it!

And worse!

 The daughter of a baronet's daughter could have been a concubine or even a mistress, just barely. Could you go?

 I don't know the details, but that's no reason to neglect the duchess.

 In the first place - is this kind of a future head or is the kingdom safe?

 The same goes for the future leading nobles.

 They all surround the same woman, or they all have nothing but problems.

 With a full swing of the shovel, he blew his sword away and grabbed his arm and squeezed it.

 When I made both arms useless, they would attack me with their guns from a distance.

 I dodged it and waited for it to run out of bullets.

 Since I had a limited number of bullets, I quickly ran out of ammunition.

'Huh ... that's enough, right? I'm done playing. You are over there. Got it?

 When I point to the audience - Angelica-san with my thumb, she looks sad. She leaned forward and waited for His Highness to say something.

 Angelica-san loves His Highness. No, I can say that I love her. This duel was also caused because she wanted to separate the woman called Marie from His Highness in her own way.

 When His Highness was unable to fight--''

"...not yet.

What?

'It's not over yet. I'd rather die than have Marie taken away from me! I will never accept defeat. If I'm going to kill you, kill me! This is a duel! I forbid you to stop this duel until I or you are dead!

 I guess that means I won't let anyone get in my way.

 They're opening up.

 You're talking about royalty, but you're ordering no one to stop you. Double standard I wouldn't mind doing it myself, but it's annoying when someone else does it.

 But when this happens, it's a pain in the ass to deal with.

'Okay, let's tease him until his heart breaks.

 I whispered, and Luxion was taken aback.

''That was a lousy conversation. However, it had more realization than any of the words I had said earlier. I appreciate that part.''

 You're d*mn right I am. It's my own experience.

 Preaching makes me feel better! What a story.



 Julius' white armor was hitting Rion's armor even as it broke both arms.

 The figure felt desperate.

 Angelica grabbed the railing at the sight of him standing up to the overwhelmingly strong Rion, and then tears were flowing down her face.

''You're serious........Your Highness. You really like that girl, don't you?''

 Angelica wipes her tears away as she resigns herself to the fact that her feelings are unreachable.

(Right. Let's step aside. (If Your Highness doesn't want me to, I'll step aside.)

 His gaze went to the other side of the circular auditorium.

 I stared at Marie's face, a blue expression on her face.

(But you're not the only one I won't recognize. You are not the one standing next to His Highness. With you, you will only stand in His Highness' way. (I won't allow you to do just that.)

 Even after giving up, Angelica still tries to get Marie away from Julius. She thought it would be good for Julius.

 A woman who had a mistress by her side and had relationships with four other men - she simply couldn't let such a woman take the queen's place.

 She was a woman who caged five men in a short period of time.

 After this, she will probably continue to add more and more men to her collection.

 If such a Marie became the queen, it was obvious that the seeds of conflict would increase dramatically.

 And the palace would not keep quiet about it.

 Angelica glared at Marier, who turned pale and dismayed when she saw Julius falling to pieces.

(No matter what happens to me, you're the only one I'll drag down and take with me on the road. I'll never let you like your highness.)

 It was heartbreaking to tear apart a relationship with the woman Julius had declared he loved, but Angelica was willing to do just that by any means necessary.

 Then--'

'Well, you're wrong!'

 --Olivia raised her voice.

'It is true that His Royal Highness may love Miss Marie. But, but! Even Angelica loves the Crown Prince! Because I've been watching this fight painfully for a long, long time! It's hard to watch, but I don't turn away, I look at them sadly! Don't tell me it's not love!

 Angelica impatiently calls out to Olivia.

'Oh, hey, stop,'

 He seemed so excited that he grabbed her by the shoulders and tried to make her pull back, but Olivia didn't stop.

 She screamed in a voice that came through well and in an inviting voice.

 It drew the gaze of the audience in the arena - students and teachers - who were in the arena.

'Why do you deny it! Isn't it love if it isn't reciprocal?

Just stop. Olivia, stop!

'No, I have to say it. Angelica's feelings are love. It's up to you to receive them or not receive them. But please don't deny it!

 Olivia's words had reached Marie.



 ........I'm angry.

 Marie thought honestly.

(This is why I don't like being a good girl. Aren't you a flower head? One-sidedness isn't love, it's annoyance! It's really annoying. (His dialogue is so annoying.)

 She and Marie had different ideas to begin with.

 But in front of Olivia, whose crystal-clear voice grabbed the hearts of those around her, Marie had frustration on her face.

 It felt like she was being shown the real thing.

 It was also largely because she was aware that she was a fake.

 It took away the place she was supposed to be.

 It was supposed to be Olivia who was supposed to be the samurai of men who were beautiful and had money and power. Deprived of that position, she still shines.

(Just because she has a slightly stronger mob on her side doesn't mean she has to. I have them all. Everyone is definitely better than a third-tiered mob that's just that strong and in charge of comedy.)

 Straight on, Olivia looked at Marie.

 Her eyes were frightening.

 She took a step backwards, feeling as if they could see through her false self.

 It looked to Marie as if she was telling her that she was going to take her place back from you, who had been painted with lies.

 That's when.

'Is that what you're trying to say - is that all you're trying to say, woman?'

 Julius is squeezing out his voice.

 His voice is muffled as he speaks from inside his armor, but Julius talks back to Olivia. His tone is pregnant with anger.

''You think it's love to push one way or the other? The woman who only sees me as a prince, and her feelings for me are love? I found a woman who would look after me personally. And I knew. This is love. This is love! Angelica, are you trying to understand me? Your feelings are an imposition. It's not love. Don't ever get involved with me again!'

 Julius's voice brought Marier back to life.

(Yeah, right. I'm not wrong. It's you who is wrong. What? The protagonist and the villainess are side by side. In the game, they had a good fight. They should start fighting now!

 Julius was still going to fight.

'Now, let's start the rest of the fight. This duel isn't over until one of us is dead. I'm ready for it. How about you?

 The gray armor was just standing there, carrying a shovel.

(Julius is the Dauphin. You're a nobleman, you should read the air. You're going to kill your own prince? (You should just admit defeat.)

 Then, Rion.........accused Julius even more than before.

''You've made up your mind, right? You think we've been fighting this war unprepared? What's the resolve to finally decide when you're about to lose? Are you making fun of me? I mean........that's what dueling is all about in the first place. We just don't take lives because of the unspoken rules in the school, and if we got serious, it would have been over as soon as we got serious. Didn't you notice that? I could have dealt with five people at the same time with this one. It would have been easier that way. I was wary of them because they were so confident that they were stronger than us, but they were even weaker than I thought they would be. Give me a break.

 In addition to frying, he was thoroughly falsifying Julius and the others.

 Marie thought.

(Hey, what the hell is this guy? He's a nasty guy, frying people like he's my brother!)

'I wasn't ready before, but I'm ready because I'm about to lose in tatters, right? I'll admit that I'm persistent in trying to win by using my own life as a shield. I can see that you have faint hopes that I'll pull out if I say this, and that's what I don't want to do. I can't kill the crown prince either, so I'll admit defeat. That's good. You're the crown prince, so you'll win the battle. You say you didn't want to be born as a prince, but your strength to use your position to its fullest extent is worthy of praise.''

 Everyone in the arena would have thought.

 --This guy is a jerk, he's a jerk, he said.

 He accused her bitterly, but he wasn't even off the mark as much as he had a good argument. In fact, Julius didn't move without talking back. There was probably a faint hope that he had a faint hope that Rion might be moved.

 However, Rion did not waver a little.

It's a good thing that you're a good friend of mine. I don't want to be separated from my beloved Marie, so ask me to let you win. I didn't expect to lose. Please ask me to forgive you.'

 Julius countered.

'So how can you do it! This is a sacred duel. It's only polite to fight each other to the best of your ability!'

'What? To be clever and admit you lost? His Highness the Crown Prince, that's a tough one~. No matter how you look at it, admitting defeat here would be an insult to a sacred duel~. I don't see how we can turn it around from here. Or shall we start with a great speech that will move me? Well, I don't think I would ever be moved by it. All five of them are full of nonsense that makes me want to shake my head when I hear it. I wasn't moved at all. On the contrary, I was impressed that they could say such a fake line.

 The atmosphere inside the arena was terrible.

 Frustration was growing for Leon who was agitating His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. From the audience, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, take out that guy! The girls' voices were slowly getting louder and louder.

(This guy is disgusting. There are such disgusting men everywhere.)

 Most of the girls, and even the boys, were shouting abuse at Leon.



 I let out a small sigh amidst the allogants.

 Luxion calls me an a**h*le.

''How could you say that much? Feeling great, is that the state of affairs?''

'I know it's too much. But the five of you need to realize a little bit of what you're doing, or I'm in trouble. These guys may be this now, but they're the future core of the country.

 That's right, all five of us can't afford to keep things the way they are. At the very least, they need to realize that there are people above them, or else they will be in trouble.

''You think I'm just going to be a villain? You seemed to be having a lot of fun, sir?

'Well it was a lot of fun, honestly. Well, I don't think I'll ever do it again.

 I'm the villain in the arena, and I'm the strongest voice in the arena cheering for His Highness.

 That's fine.

 I walked up to His Highness, with people around me cursing at me.

 He hit me and I caught him as he hit me and caught him.

''Well Your Highness, I won't pull away.

"Let go. Let go of me! You unchivalrous, unchivalrous beast! Even if I can't beat you, I'm not going to stop fighting--

 Aroganz was able to hold down the rampaging white armor with plenty of time to spare.

 It was really good that there was a difference in performance.

''Let's talk about something serious. Do you really think you're going to be happy like this?''

What do you mean by that?

 He insults his fiancée and says that his love for a woman who has a man at her side is real. It brings tears to my eyes to think that such a man is the future king.

 People around me are still feeling like students and don't realize it. No, I feel like they are aware of it, but they don't see it.

 I can see a fire brewing around Marie in the future.

 If there's a woman surrounded by five men, whose child is that guy having? I'm sure someone will doubt it, and there will definitely be people who will take advantage of that doubt.

 If that happens, what will this guy do?

 Are we going to wake up on the way and welcome a woman who will give birth to an heiress?

 Well, before that.

 Even though he is the Dauphin, in this world you will need backing. Powerful ministers and lords and ladies - lords and nobles.

 Even if there is a king who is not recognized by anyone, politics will not work.

 It's hard for the king to keep up with factions and all that.

 And when I looked into this Crown Prince, I found that his biggest supporters, or rather backers, were the dukes. This is Angelica's family.

 They are uniting the factions and pushing for His Highness' succession to the throne.

 This guy, he's trying to turn his biggest supporter against himself.

 There was a saint there in the game, but the problem is that Marie is not a saint. She's just a reincarnated person who is doing well.

 I mean ... she's a mobster just like me.

 I'm going to screw it up one day. No, I think I'm already halfway there.

 It's kind of like me cleaning up Marie's mess. I'd like to tell you that you're my sister in a previous life.

"Love? That's wonderful. I'll admit that you have the heart to give up your claim to the throne to get it.

.....

 This guy must have known that too.

 Apparently he chose Marie even though he knew it.

''After all, you're willing to give up your current position, right?

"Do you laugh at me for being stupid? But I've got a woman for that. I don't need a title, I don't need honor. I don't need a title, I don't need honor, I just need him.

''I'm sure the other party would like the Crown Prince, though, with all the status and honor that comes with it. I don't think they'd be interested in a mere prince.

 If he lost his position, his honor, his fortune, and everything else, surely Marie would not be looking at him? I can't help but think so.

'No, it doesn't! Marie would follow me. I--we only need Marie to be there.'

 The woman named Marie is a horrible woman because she makes her say this much. The fact that she can make him say this much just by imitating the main character is a talent.

 I don't think he has true love in him, though.

 In the first place, if you love someone, you wouldn't send six men as samurai.

'That's good to hear. But you're going to lose, so please refrain from going out with them in the future.

 I released His Highness and struck him as hard as I could with the shovel.

 The white armor caved in, and His Highness inside was shaken heavily, throwing him out of his stance.

 Luxion informs me that we are ready.

''Analysis is complete. Pilot's safety is assured.

It's hard to take it easy, isn't it? There you go. It's all over now.

 He let go of the shovel and touched the chest armor of His Highness' armor with his right hand. The armor on Aroganz's right arm unfolded as he placed his palm against it. The inside glows, and then in the next moment.

''Impact.''

 At the same time as Luxion's words, there was a shock and His Highness' armor was blown to pieces. The crowd screams at the armor, which fell apart in an instant.

 The armor shatters, but I catch His Highness with my left hand.

 It was easy for him to stay unresisted as he was unconscious.

 When my right arm was back in place, I retrieved the shovel I'd let go of.

 The arena is silent.

 I looked at the referees and they sent a doctor to make sure His Highness was safe before declaring victory.

 Fortunately, when he found out that he was only unconscious, he declared the winner.

The winner, Leon Fow Baldfalt, is Angelica Rafa Redgrave, the winner of the duel. I hereby declare you both to be bound by the duel vows.

 The loser of the duel was declared to follow the winner and the end was declared. At this moment, the blue bills that were proof of the bets placed on His Highness and the others danced around the arena.

 The sound of screaming and cursing mixed in with a very pleasant sound.

 The cursing at me is really pleasant.

"Give me my money back!
Phony! Such a duel is not acceptable!
Give it back. I want my money back!

 I raised my shovel and flew slowly around the hall, recording the faces of the audience.

 All of them had despairing looks on their faces, but some of them may have bet on me, and they kept their red bills carefully tucked away in their pockets.

''Guys the betting is in moderation!

 When I said that, I agitated him and he threw garbage and other things at me. But I smiled high and went back to Olivia and the others, avoiding them brilliantly.

 I landed and took off my armor and put the armor back in the box. Then the armor was stored and the box went back to the sky.

''........You can retrieve it, right?

"Of course it is.

 The box disappeared into the sky, and then I took my jacket from Olivia and put it on.

'How do you like it, sweetheart? We have won splendidly.

 Angelica-san had a complicated look on her face.

 Well, you can't help but have mixed feelings about me who beat up your beloved Highness.

''Right. Let's thank you.

 He didn't look like he was going to thank me. His expression was blue and he seemed to be concerned about His Highness in any way.

 So I told him with a straight face.

'I didn't hurt you. I swear I just passed out.

 If there was a mistake, it was Luxion's fault. It's not my fault.

 Olivia-san also has a complicated look on her face. More than anything else, she felt a sense of urgency when she looked at her surroundings.

''Ah, um, is this really the right thing to do? The way people are looking at me.

 Students who stared at me with their gaze only at Mr. Shooting.

 Some were cursing at me and others were crying.

 But beauty is a gain. They can look pretty even with that kind of expression.
