"Huh~"

After dinner, Lixia went to the Rainbow Theatre because of the stage performance, while Ryan entered the large bath with Qiya with her under the maids.

There were cheerful laughter from Qiya from time to time. In a short time, this girl became familiar with the maids at home, and the maids all loved her very much.

Since Qiya arrived, laughter and joy often came from the entire mansion, and even the usual old-fashioned butler Bremer occasionally looked at Qiya with a kind smile.

Under the massage from the maids beside him, Ryan's thoughts were a little relaxed. He thought of the first special internship of Class 7 that will start tomorrow.

I had contacted Sarah through the guidance terminal before, and he was responsible for caring for the members of Group B, while Sarah went to Kyldick to provide appropriate guidance for Group A.

Group B is scheduled to go to Palm, the southernmost textile town in Schalrant for internship, with members including Usses, Machias, Alisa, Fey and Emma, ​​and Group A is composed of the remaining Rein, Laura, Elliot and Gaius.

Thinking of a bet Sarah mentioned some time ago, Ryan felt a little headache.

‘That shameless guy, with Usses and Machias at the same time, it is impossible for Group B to get more than Group A… It’s better to just say that you want to drink and drink.’

Clow sent the latest report before. On the afternoon of the first free activity day, Rein, Elliott, and Gaius received a commission from Principal Vandyke and teamed up to enter the old school building again.

It seems that the internal structure of the mysterious school building buried with "gray" has undergone strange changes, and Director Vandyke hopes that they will investigate it clearly.

As for the results, the three people who had worked together again had already mastered the tactical link function of arus and also received quite high scores in the actual test held on the 2nd.

On the contrary...Machias and Usses were very difficult. They still looked like they were in a state of power. During the actual test, their team got very low points due to their resolute uncooperation attitude.

‘Other members, Alisa was a guy named Sarah who was deliberately fucking him. There should be no problem between the three girls, that is,... I have to find a way to reconcile the two young masters with opposite positions...’

To be honest, Ryan didn't have much confidence in this.

Because of his identity, Ryan was born with a tendency to be sluggish, and Marcias should not take his advice, the son of Duke Kane, too seriously.

‘State…if Reen could be transferred, it would be better to convince those two people with his status as being caught between the nobles and the civilians.’

After washing the white-white under the maids' service, Qiya soon jumped from the bathhouse like a deep water bomb to Ryan's side. The splash of water interrupted Ryan's thoughts.

Ryan helplessly pressed Qiya's little green head out of the water. "Qiya, you can't be so rude. You have to slowly enter the bath from the edge of the pool in the future, and you can't take a bath with me even if you are a little older."

"Hmm? Why?"

Seeing Qiya's innocent expression, Ryan's mouth twitched, "Because there is a difference between men and women, the big girl cannot take a bath with men."

"Well..." Qiya pointed her chin and asked in confusion, "But why can the maid sisters wash with you?"

"Forehead……"

Ryan replied awkwardly in the faces of the maids around him, "This is a corrupt custom left by the nobles of the Ereponian Empire. It cannot be like this in ordinary people's families."

Qiya smiled and said, "Although I don't understand very well, Qiya will be obedient~ Why don't you ask Teacher Mapur tomorrow?"

Ryan observed three seconds of silence for the middle-aged nun in his heart, hoping that she would not fall into an embarrassing situation under the serial questioning of Qiya.

Seeing the lively Qiya put on her clothes and left the bath under the quick movements of the maids, Ryan looked at the ceiling and remembered Zeit's mindless words.

"There is no fate for no reason... Then why is Qiya particularly close to me?"

———————————————

The next morning, Ryan packed up and had breakfast before Kiya got up. Under Lisha's gentle farewell, she left home alone to Crossbear Airport.

"Let's go, target St. Tate, the capital of Schalrant state."

There is no airport in the town of Palm, and Ryan intends to go to St. Tic to say hello to Marquis Haynes in advance, just in time to explore the Marquis's tone. I wonder what the stable representative of the nobles thinks about the current situation.

The territory of Schalrant State is similar to that of Nodiya State managed by Rognahou in the north, but there is no RF Group located in the Garduru Lure and the Zachson Mine, known as the pillar of the Empire.

At the same time, because of Marquis Haynes' gentle personality, his subordinates did not have as strong combat power as the brave Marquis Rogner, and they ranked last among the four nobles in both military and economic terms.

The only thing worthy of the Sharrant State is its culture. The old capital St. Tyac is one of the oldest cities in the entire Erebonian Empire.

Considering that the imperial capital Heimdal once fell and was remodeled due to the abuse of the Dark Dragon, the word "One" can even be removed.

This ancient city is home to a large number of people in the art world, and painters often come here to collect folk songs and sketches on the Holy Temple Square in the center of the city.

The most famous musical instruments business in the empire, Levite, was once located here. Although it seemed that it had moved to the imperial capital for some reason in the past few years, there are still a large number of musicians living in Saint-Teac, and the entire city has a very strong artistic atmosphere.

Led by a butler, Ryan, wearing a dress, met the current Marquis of Haines, Fernan Haines in the office of the Marquis of Haines.

The middle-aged man who had his golden brown medium-length hair in a very neat manner looked as gentle and polite as the rumors. When he saw Ryan, he smiled and stood up and stretched out his hand.

"Reinhart, you have never seen each other since you were 7 years old. Are you doing well in the past ten years?"

Ryan reached out and held Marquis of Haynes's hand and said modestly, "I have to thank you for your blessings, and I have barely persevered under the strict training of my master. I just thought my father had received a lot of criticism among the nobles."

"Haha, don't take those gossip seriously, please sit down."

Marquis Haynes took Ryan to a living room to sit down. After a typical aristocratic greeting, the two sides finally got to the point.

"Marquis Marquis, judging from the situation of St. Tyac, it seems that he has not been greatly affected by the tax increase. It is true that you have the best management to prevent the people under your rule from complaining."

Marquis Haynes smiled bitterly and put down the black tea in his hand. "That's just the appearance you see. The state of St. Tecac is still good, and the villages and towns in the territory have already complained."
