Chapter 90
The date with Richie was unexpectedly ordinary.
We ate street food and chatted like a lover who could be anywhere.
However, if there is something slightly different.
“… here is the calculation.”
“····yes?”
Yes. I’m just trying to do a normal calculation, but the store owners open their eyes.
no. Kane, what was this baby really doing?
What I’m doing now must be a normal thing to do.
But the store manager is surprised by my behavior now.
‘It’s definitely different from the royal road.’
Even in the royal capital, my rumors spread, but people didn’t pay much attention to it anyway.
Because there are many other nobles in the royal capital besides me.
So, unless I’m making a fuss, they don’t really care.
However, unlike them, David Youngji has no choice but to look at me.
It’s inevitable because my dad is the lord here.
From the point of view of these guys, it’s only natural for them to look at me even if I’m crazy.
And Kane must have been f*cking here when he was an asshole.
In other words. For the people of the territory, I can’t help but be surprised by my normal attitude.
no. Still, there must have been some rumors that I had changed.
If you look at the reaction of the servants and maids, it is a fact that rumors spread to David Youngji.
Therefore, the people around here must have heard the rumors as well.
“What, are you surprised? I’m just saying it’s just a calculation.”
“No… yes. Okay. Enjoy your meal.”
When I forcibly handed the money, he gave me a skewer made from a monster with a bewildered face.

Me and Richie who got two skewers.
I shook my head in disbelief.
“Hmm. Obviously, there must have been a rumor that I had changed a bit…”
“…you probably didn’t believe it.”
Richie answered my question in a serious voice.
soon after saying
“There is a saying that people don’t change easily, right? So they just thought it was an exaggerated rumor and wouldn’t believe it. From the point of view of those people, the image of the master is different. And he didn’t show any change even during summer vacation.”
Ah… for sure.
I have been in possession since summer vacation, but at that time, I was only training hard to increase my strength.
As a result, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he hardly ever went out of the mansion except to meet Karin, who had a potion contract.
For the people of the territory, it must be almost the same as seeing my changed form for the first time now.
Even at the entrance ceremony for the second semester in the first place, I was foolishly trying to get past the gate.
While I’m convincing myself for a moment.
-Yum.
Richie stole a piece of my skewer and ate it.
– ooh
no. If you have yours, why are you eating mine?
Thoughts like this came to my mind, but I just kept my mouth shut, thinking that it wouldn’t be any good if I dared to spit it out.
“Ugh. It’s delicious. Bocchan, please drink it too.”
Saying that, Richie smiled broadly and pointed out her skewer.
what? Why can’t I see the fox tail in Richie?
For a moment, she saw a fox tail waving softly, but I must have been mistaken.
By the way, was it because he was unexpectedly attacked? His face heats up regardless of his will.
Come to think of it, I’ve only been attacked or almost forcibly kissed on the neck like a constellation.
This is the first time this has happened.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, I looked around.
OK. no one is watching
With that in mind, he carefully took a bite of the skewer she had held out.
– Well, well.
it’s just plain
Since it’s a monster meat, I was expecting something different. It tasted like ordinary yakitori that is common on earth.
That’s why I’m eating monster skewers.
“yes? Come to think of it, did we kiss indirectly?”
She claps her hands and speaks as if she’s just realized.
“Ugh.”
“yes·····?”
She looks a little embarrassed, perhaps because I’m not surprised by my blunt reaction.
Then mumble quietly.
“Uh, what? Why aren’t you shy? The book said to do this.”
“····”
What the hell did you read? human.
It’s obvious without seeing what kind of reaction he was aiming for and doing such a despicable thing.
Just looking at it, you must have wanted to see my blushing and bewildered reaction.
However, the timing was bad for him.

Maybe because yesterday she kissed me.
In the yard that has only been kissed for a day, there is nothing to be ashamed of to the extent of an indirect kiss.
If you want to see that kind of reaction, shouldn’t you at least kiss the cheek?
‘OK. They don’t just suffer like this.’
“Rishe.”
“yes. young master.”
She humbly answers my calls.
I whispered quietly so only her could hear it.
“Why were your faces so close when you woke me up yesterday morning?”
“······?!”
Richie rolls her eyes.
Soon, his body trembled, perhaps because of shame, and his face turned blush.
Well, it’s only natural for her to react like this.
For her, it’s like being caught up in the dark history.
To be honest, I don’t think shame is a joke just by being caught kissing by a third party, but how would you feel if someone caught you kissing you?
I can’t get a sense of the extent of the diary, but I think it’s at a level that I can understand even if I do a numerology.
Richie’s face turned into a full dark apple, with a lot of blood rushing to her face.
Then mumble quietly.
“young master·····.”
“yes?”
“Can you come over here for a moment?”
I slowly approached her request.
Richie waved her hands as if to come closer with a subtle face.
“You must come closer.”
“more?”
what? Why is your face already back to normal?
Apparently, her face wasn’t red until recently.
However, Risé’s expression now had a meaningful smile as if it was smoke that had just trembled.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been joking around quite a bit so far.
She hasn’t done anything yet, but somehow it feels ominous.
If it was normal, I would have missed out.
But now that I see her meaningful smile, I don’t think it would be any good if I took a step out of here for nothing.
‘As a bonus, I wonder.’
It’s never something I was looking forward to.
yes. I’m just curious.
With that in mind, let’s bring our faces closer.
“I knew immediately that the master had noticed.”
Richie speaks with an alluring smile.
Her body temperature and scent rush in.
“········.”
“And the master…”
“yes?”
He tilted his head, pretending to remain calm at her call.
Richie bowed her head and smiled, wondering if my reaction was funny.
At the same time, he wraps his arms around my neck and whispers quietly.
“young master. The expression on his face shows that he is expecting something.”
“······?!”
It can’t be.
I am the one with the acting skills that deserves the lead role.
There’s no way I’m going to be teased with this kind of work.
For a moment while I tried to deny her words. Richie goes on to say:
“Still, I like a master like that.”
while saying those words.
-side!
Richie kissed my cheek.
Blinking her earlobes a little, she smiles.
I don’t know if Richie’s original personality was like this or if it changed with this incident.
But one thing was for sure.
that she’s crazy

Meanwhile at that time.
Andrew was quite upset with the series of failures.
In order not to touch his heart, the church’s executives kept their heads down and kept silent while sweating profusely.
“·················ogue.”
“·················ogue.”
I expected failure, but I never thought that Elsa would be defeated.
To be honest, I didn’t expect much to attract Anje.
To be honest, just looking at her behavior will give you the answer.
Even though her parents are members of the church, Anje is a saint in the end.
So, I did not have any expectations that I would join the denomination.
So, the unexpected order is an assassination.
It’s not enough to fail, and you’re going to suffer a huge loss.
The death of the members is a bit of a loss, but it doesn’t affect the plan too much.
But not Elsa.
She is none other than an ecclesiastical officer.
Unlike Ashad, he can possess the highest level succubus.
It’s a pretty painful loss.
‘Should we revise our plans?’
When the time came, he tried to declare war on the continent of Raceton using a monster.
Because he thought that even with only five executives including himself, he could defeat the continent of Leiston if he attacked with the monsters.
‘····· should be delayed a little more.’
Originally, I thought that a 40% assimilation rate with the Demon Archduke would be sufficient.
Anje’s power is beyond expectations.
‘Should I raise it to 50%?’
That’s one way.
However.
‘That’s too much of a gamble.’
The Grand Duke is the king of demons in the Demon Realm.
No matter how much you assimilate with the Archduke at 50% level, if you make a mistake, you can lose your reason and be eaten by him.
That’s right, because he’s no different than a transcendent who stands side by side with the constellation.
As a single mortal, he has no idea what would happen if he assimilated more than 50%.
‘tt! That’s why I needed an elixir.’
The elixir ordered by Daiwa Gai to bring it.
Had it been for that, I would have been able to go one step further, but it’s a pity.
‘Whoa. Let’s not dwell on failures.’
Now that I think about it, I can’t go back.
It would be much better to worry about the future than that.
‘For now, I’ll have to watch a little bit more.’
Whether Anje is stronger than expected or not, it is impossible to declare war right now anyway.
So it’s good to watch the situation first.
“Jade.”
“yes. Andrew.”
“Did you say that there will be a freshman exam at the Royal Academy soon?”
Jade nodded with an expressionless face.
“That’s right.”
“Is there anyone in your unit taking the exam?”
“yes. After Frakchi died, I had someone waiting in advance.”
hmmm. not bad.
The Jade Troops are none other than assassination units.
Of course, there must be assassins in other cadres’ units as well.
‘It’s not like the Jade Corps.’
Jade troops literally specialize in assassination.
So, it is clear that the spies are also quite capable.
“okay. And it is said that one saint will be admitted during the freshman exam.”
“May I ask which constellation the saint is in?”
“I heard that she is a saint of a goddess who likes to fight. So, if you get a chance to kill him during the exam, tell him to assassinate him.”
Even if it’s a saint, I’m still 17 years old.
The saint of the goddess who likes to fight has not yet awakened.
Because the previous saint passed away not long ago.
‘You should kill when you can.’
“but. When you are sure, tell him to assassinate him, and he tells him not to be greedy.”
“yes. All right.”
At the end of those words, Andrew is about to let the executives go.
“Mr Andrew. Are you okay?”
Jade asked in a worried voice.
As if sympathizing with the question, the other executives also looked at Andrew.
‘yes? Is it because of Elsa’s work?’
With that thought in mind, Jade continues, as Andrew makes an incomprehensible face.
“I heard that the Valentina and the Lipford operations failed.”
huh? What do you mean by failure?
“But don’t worry. Even if Andrew-sama’s separately planned operation fails, we will work even harder.”
no. I never made a plan like that.
