The Duke of Holomelâs residence was a gorgeous, opulent mansionâŠ
âSo, Princess Linnecarlo sent youâŠâŠ.What can I do for you?â
The Duke of Holomel had the appearance of a great nobleman. He had a round, fat body, a long beard, and narrow, sharp eyesâŠ..He didnât look very friendly, even though he was smiling.
âI have a secret letter from Princess Linnecarlo, please take a look at it.â
Arthur handed over the letter he had received from Linnecarlo.
Iâve heard about the vote on the succession to the throne, but Iâve never heard ofâŠâŠme voting for YudinâŠâŠ.In exchange, youâll have to defeat the brigands that are running rampant in my territoryâŠâŠHahahahaha, funny, really funny proposal, the best deal a poor princess with no money could come up with.â
Arthur looks disgusted by those wordsâŠHe was about to grab the duke, but Alana caught him by the scruff of the neck and restrained him.
âFine, sure, if one vote can wipe out those bastards, itâs a win-win, Iâll take the offer.â
As planned, the Duke of Holomel came on board with Linnecarloâs proposal, and now all that was left to do was to defeat the bandits.
âAll right, the fish is on the hook, we just need to pull it out.â
âSo letâs split up and find out more about the thieves. Me and Yuta, Jean and Emina, Arthur and Farma, Lorgo and Nanami.â
âHey, why is it Alana and Yuta, canât it be Nanami and Yuta?â
âYes, Alana, that combination is unbalanced, what kind of informationâs are Lorgo and Nanami going to obtain.â
âHey, Jean, you sound like you donât think Nanami and Lorgo can do anything.â
âNo, I meant gathering information. I didnât say they couldnât do anything.â
Nanami wasnât the only one who wasnât satisfied with the combination that Alana had come up with, so we decided to be fair and use the lottery to decide. In order to avoid any danger in a strange place, it was decided that Alana, Emina, and Arthur, who had self-defense skills, and Jean, who could avoid danger with his mouth, would be split up and the pair would be decided by lottery. And so it was decidedâŠ
Alana and Nanami, Emina and me, Arthur and Farma, Jean and Lorgo.
âThen weâll meet at this square in the evening.â
I nodded at Alanaâs words and we headed off in different directions to gather information.
âEmina, how are you getting used to being in the Iron Knights?â
âWell, I guess Iâve gotten used to itâŠâŠâ
âSpeaking of which, do you have any hobbies, Emina?â
âHobbies? Youâre not interested in my hobbies. You donât have to force me to talk about them.â
âNo, itâs not that Iâm forcing you, but weâre friends and we should get to know each other a little better.â
ââYeahâŠâŠwell, youâre the leader of the Iron Knights, so itâs not surprising that youâd think thatâŠâŠ. My hobby is shopping; I like to look around for clothes and accessories.â
âOh, really? Well, letâs do a little shopping now, shall we?â
âWhat are you talking about? We have to gather information about the thieves.â
âYes, but we can gather information while we shop.â
âYeah, butâŠâŠI owe you guys a lot of money.â
âOh, right, well, if itâs not too expensive, Iâll buy it for you.â
âWait, wait, are you trying to get a piece of me or something?â
âYou knowâŠâŠwell, I think Emina is beautiful, but I have a girl I love.â
âWho is it, maybe Alana orâŠâŠâ
âNo, I like Alana, but thatâs not the point.â
âThen who is it, maybe Nanami? I donât think thatâs a good idea!â
âNo, weâre separated nowâŠâŠ.I donât even know where she isâŠ..I havenât told her I love her properly, so I donât think she thinks about meâŠâŠ.â
Thatâs rightâŠâŠIâm just a classmate to Yuki ShirayukiâŠâŠ.I wonder what would have happened if I had confessed to her on the last day of the school tripâŠ..
âIâm sure youâll be able to find her somedayâŠ..and then you can confess your feelings to her then.â
Emina said softly, probably worried that I looked a little sad.
âThen, feel free to let me shop with your money, come on, letâs go.â
Eminaâs expression brightened, but I was a little worried about the contents of my wallet.
