“Good work, ni-san”

“Oh, thank you …”

Her face is smiling but her eyes aren’t… and her words aren’t expressing any emotion.

“What were you two talking about?”

“It was a reflection meeting on what was good and what was bad.”

“Hmm …”

After a mock battle, it’s good manners to have a reflection meeting. For the third prince, he wasn’t on my level, so no reflection meeting was held.

“Do you regret not taking it seriously?”

“Yeah…”

Sophie noticed I didn’t use thunder enchantment but asked if I regretted not being able to use it before it ended.

“I’m glad that the mock battle ended then.”

“why?”

“It’s impossible to prevent Zero’s thunder magic from being known, but It’s a waste to have such an important first time in such a simulated battle.”

“Thank you”

“I’m just speaking my mind.”

I’m sure Sophie’s comforting me, who ended up in a draw without showing all his strength.

“I’ll just use it next time, no need to feel so regretful, right?”

“At that time, I’ll be right next to you and decide whether you should use thunder magic or not.”

“Thank you”

“Your welcome”

Sophie’s smarter than me, so she’ll give me the correct answer on whether to or not to use such magic.

“This is the end of the mock battle! But there’s still time before the social is over! Let’s go back to the hall and discuss our impressions of the battle!”

Just after my talk with Sophie was over, the King said this and let the knights guide us back to the venue. I went to change clothes after my dad told me to. Then I returned to the venue and continued the party.

“Today’s party ends here! See you next time when you enter the academy!”

With that said, the social party ended.

“Sophie …”

“What is it brother?”

“Do you hate me?

“I’m glad you think of me Brother.”

“Then I’ll be going alone wherever I go from now on.”

“Do you really think you can do that?

“………”

In the carriage, on the way back I was angry with Sophie. I’m not mad at her for no reason. When the mock battle was over and I returned to the ballroom, I was surrounded by all kinds of people. Adults and children alike. How did you practice magic? How did you practice sword fighting? Do you have a real fiancé? If not, how about my daughter? How about at least an arranged marriage? I was bombarded with questions one after another. When I looked to Sophie for help, she just smiled and didn’t help me at all.

“If you can’t help me, maybe I should accept the matchmaking.”

“Stone lock”

“Stone lock”

“Mugu …”

Unlike Shana’s, my whole body was covered and I couldn’t move at all. She also made a kind of shackle with stone-lock to cover my mouth and prevent me from using enchantments. It’s too late to regret what I said. If I really tried, I might be able to break the stone lock, but I couldn’t be violent in the carriage.

“Hmm … Did Zero ni-san really that? You have to only think about me, right? Zero ni-san is bad, right?”

“Sophie …”

Sophie was approached by my father who’s in the same carriage. My father looked like a savior.

“Do it moderately”

“Mugu !!?”

” Of course Father.”

I was abandoned by my dad … And that night, I spent three hours in Sophie’s room with Sophie on my lap, patting her head while saying Sophia Sophia Sophia and writing Sophia on a piece of paper. And if any of these actions weren’t heartfelt enough, she bit me on the neck. There’re no marks right?

Ah … no … I forgot to say that Shana will be joining our adventurer party … what do I do …
