\nâYo~o. good work. Congratulations on your enrollment!â
⊠He was inside.Leon-sama sat down on the sofa and waved his hands in the air while dressed up as a Royal Guard.Nono, thereâs no such thing as a Royal Guard who looks more important than royalty itself.Lily-sama was smiling bitterly, thoughâŠPrince Ray stepped forward and bowed.âFather, Iâve brought two Sacred Beast contractors with me, as you requested.â \nâUmu, good job⊠now then, itâs been a while since the New Yearâs, Miss Cristea. Also, Shiki⊠Shiima-kun was it? Congratulations on your enrollment. This is the first time Iâve spoken to you both like this.â
His Majesty called out to me, and in a flash, I gave a ladyâs curtsy. Sei also straightened his posture and bowed.
âThank you very much for attending the entrance ceremony. We apologize for making you waitâŠââOh, you donât have to be so formal. This meeting is not official, after all.ââO⊠okay.ââCristea-chan, congratulations on your enrollment. Ufufu, I was surprised to hear that you were a Sacred Beast contractor.â
Lily-sama congratulated me with a smile. C, Cristea-chan, she said⊠she really intends to keep it informal, huh.\nâThank you very much⊠umm, Iâm very sorry for the delay in informing you about the contractsâŠââAh, I told you not to mind it. It was me who stopped the report, after all.â
Leon-sama stopped me when I tried to apologize.
âThatâs right~ Leon-sama told everyone to shut up until the nobles found out, because if there were any more Sacred Beast contractors, they would get annoyingly noisy and cause trouble. It was difficult for everyone, right? Iâm sure the Duke was furious when he found out that youâve been ordering Christea-chan around, though.ââAhn? We are talking about that overly doting father, Iâm sure he was delighted to keep silent.ââAAhh⊠Itâs Steward, so itâs highly likely.â\nâRight, since we are here, we might as well greet them.â
The serious mood suddenly changed with His Majesty and Lily-sama looking at us with excited and expectant eyes⊠What, they want to greet Kurogane and Mashiro? I have a bad feeling about this!?
