Even if you succeed in jobless reincarnation and time magic, you must live life to the fullest.

"Are you ready, Alice?"

"Ah."

"You haven't forgotten the manners I taught you, have you?"

"I'm not stupid."

Alice glared at me.

Actually, he's not much better than an idiot.

Forget it, there's no point in talking about this now.

I knocked on the door.

"who is it?"

A refreshing sound came from behind the door.

"I am Rudius Boreas Grerat."

“I am Alice Boreas Grerat.”

Alice echoed my sentiment.

Do not know why.

I felt a sense of unease when Alice said her full name.

Is it because I'm too nervous?

Alice has always been called by this name.

at this time.

The door was opened.

What came into view was Princess Ariel sitting in what looked like an expensive chair.

She styled her beautiful blonde hair.

Despite her clear and beautiful appearance, her figure is appropriate for her age.

Then there were Fitz and Luke, both wearing sunglasses.

Stand at attention beside her.

I recalled the intelligence I had gathered.

Luke.

Born into the Notos family.

He is extremely lustful, but he is very loyal to Ariel.

It is the bridge between the Notos family and Ariel.

This is all common knowledge.

Then there's Fitz.

Its origins are unknown, but its strength is immense.

He was not born in the royal palace, but was a guard whom Ariel had recruited in secret.

It is said that his frequent impolite behavior has caused considerable controversy.

That being said.

For some reason, I felt like I recognized her.

I seem to have seen it somewhere...

Illusion?

350. A Dream of Long-lasting Intoxication (2)

The conversation went more smoothly than expected.

Alice and I briefly explained our purpose, and Ariel naturally started the conversation.

Moreover, I can understand the meaning from her words.

That means acceptance.

Ariel is willing to be our help...

That's not quite accurate.

To be precise, she welcomed us to join her camp.

It went so smoothly that I was somewhat surprised.

However, this is a good thing no matter what.

……

"Then, let's stop here."

Ariel put down her teacup and said with a smile.

"Yes, I'll take my leave now."

I pulled Alice to her feet, ready to take my leave.

at this time.

A hint of amusement suddenly appeared on Ariel's face.

"Lord Rudius, please wait a moment. I have something I'd like to discuss with you privately."

"what?"

These words...

What means?

As I was pondering the meaning, Alice suddenly gripped my hand tightly.

Ouch, it hurts so much...

I turned my head and met Alice's wide eyes.

what……

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I understand what Alice is worried about.

It is said that Princess Ariel had very unusual interests.

No, to be precise, there are very few normal people in the entire Asura aristocratic circle.

In comparison, Boreas's animal control is relatively normal.

Alice is probably worried that Ariel will steal me away.

"You don't want the Boreas family to decline, do you?"

Saying things like that, and then forcing me to do this and that...

to be frank.

It feels pretty good.

However, I'm not the kind of man who's so easily tempted to cheat.

Speaking of last night...

Alice has already drained them dry.

Even if I wanted to do that kind of thing, I wouldn't have the ability.

"Alice, you should go back now."

"……it is good."

Alice pursed her lips, then pushed open the door and left the room.

After Alice walked away.

My gaze returned to Ariel, only to find that she had suddenly stood up and was walking towards me.

Huh?

Is it really going to happen?

No way?

Fitz and Luke are still here.

Does Ariel like being watched...?

……

Just as I was thinking that...

Ariel walked past me and went to the door.

Not only her, but Luke went along too.

"Then, you two should have a good chat, okay?"

Ariel smiled and waved at me.

Then he pushed open the door and went out with Luke.

Huh?

What's happening here?

Is it for play?

Just as I was wondering, I suddenly noticed that there was another person in the room.
