[Do you know anything about Roy?]

When I spoke to Regina, she made a thoughtful gesture, then tilted her head and spoke.

You’ve got a lot of cute moves now. It’s not like the Knightly bravado she showed when she was working with Christo.

[Lars-san is a person who was recognized by Zelma-sama. Unlike before, our positions are now the same. You can talk to me as you would to Sophie-san, right?]

Did the softer impression come from the fact that we were now on equal footing rather than something to be protected?

The impression is very different from the one I had because she used to behave resolutely towards the object to be protected. Perhaps her current appearance is closer to that of her true personality. Is it prejudice that I think she looks more like a noblewoman than Zelma ……?

Well, I guess the day will never come when that ambitious woman will show her demure side. If I saw her, I might laugh out loud. …… No, don’t do that. I’m definitely going to root for you. ……

[Thank you. Even though we are equals, I am a newcomer. I would like to keep my tone of voice as it is, to show respect to my seniors.]

I’m not very good at talking stiffly, so I appreciate the suggestion, but I can’t accept it considering Zelma’s closeness to Regina.

If she thought that I was messing with her, she would immediately cut me off. The jealousy of a woman is scary. Keeping a certain distance would be the best choice.

[You’re very serious. I think you’re attractive.]

No, I’m just trying to be considerate of a woman who’s not afraid.

I’m just being cautious because I’ve seen the examples of what happens when you get carried away or take an arrogant attitude.

It’s a tearful effort by a little guy to survive, and you don’t have to appreciate it. No, you don’t.

[Now let’s go back to the subject at hand. Actually, I don’t have much information about Roy. Undoubtedly it seems that he has combat ability, but I couldn’t find anything else, no matter how much I looked up.]

The Noblewoman doesn’t know what she’s looking for ……?

Was there not enough time, was there no transmission, or are there other circumstances?

I can guess, but not know the facts, but he(Roy) seems to be a peculiar person.

[So I want you, Lars-san, to gather some information about Roy. After the guidance around Yang is over, I’ll have you stay nearby as an escort for a while. I’ll send someone else to guard the inn, so don’t worry.]

If I’m going to escort him, it’s unlikely that I’ll be able to continue guarding the inn.

It was a pity because I loved that time, but that was no reason to refuse the request. I decided to accept it honestly.

[The escort will start tomorrow?]

[That’s right! I’ve asked Orle to send someone else to the inn, so don’t worry.]

You’ve already done the groundwork.

I’ll do my best in return for the convenience they’ve promised me.

[I understand. I’ll start guarding Roy tomorrow.]

[If you find out anything, please pass on the information. I’ll tell you how later.]

My new assignment is to be an escort and a spy. It’s not the kind of assignment I’ve had much experience with, but I won’t cut corners.

I’ll do my best to make all my friends happy.
