The two move from the sea, and Sydonier gives a familiar face, the fishmonger, a devilfish, and takes Val to his mansion.
　It's her own particular way of traveling on foot without the use of shifting magic, and in the form of a burglar who barges in without contacting her, he obeys.
　How suspicious the man was, with a brown hooded robe covering his body and head and a mask hiding his face.
　People only looked at him oddly because it was Sydonier with him and didn't say anything, but otherwise the lord's private army might have moved.

''Your attire, it still attracts a lot of attention.

　Sydonier speaks to him, adjusting his magic so that only Val can hear him.

'It can't be helped. I can't bring myself to show my true face, you know.'

　There was a hint of resignation in his voice.

'Why?　You have a nice face, though?

　There is a strong hint of seriousness in her voice.
　She's not a woman who jokes and teases me about this kind of thing.
　That's why Val chuckles.

''Give me a break. You won't be able to live comfortably if your face is exposed.

'Isn't that inevitable?　Because with the Eight Divine Brilliance, you are also a deterrent.

　Sidonier's voice was also filled with a different kind of resignation than his.
　Yagami Teru would attract ears and ears, and when she was young and beautiful, she would be subjected to all sorts of emotions.
　She had become completely used to it.

''I'm aware that I'm going to be Yagami Shine, but I'm not aware of any of those things.

It's a quibble.

　She chuckles when she hears Val's argument.
　He gets special treatment.
　The reason is simple: he's the strongest.
　If the man who is touted as the strongest man on earth can be counted as the empire's fighting force, it is reasonable that the emperor and the nobles, who are the highest authority, would respond to most of his demands.
　Besides, his demands were modest in relation to his abilities.
　The Sidonier is actually envious of him, but he has not a trace of negative feelings.
　He knows this, and that's why he hasn't felt bad about his visit, even though it was a surprise for him.
　The mansion of Sidonier is a white building on a hill overlooking the sea.
　It's a rather small house for a woman of noble blood or a member of the Eight Divine Light to live in, not much different from a commoner's rental house.
　However, she is very pleased with it.

''Welcome, Bartolomeus. You are the first lord to visit my house.

　Sidonier told him with a smile as he put his hand on the red door of the front door.

'...... your father has never been here before?'

　When Val asks her, she instantly turns a straight face.

'That man doesn't count.

　The polite tone he had used up until now was a lie, and the way he spat it out made him realize his failure.

'I'm sorry.'

'No, sir. 'No, I don't remember telling you anything about it. I think it's wonderful that you don't make assumptions based on people's gossip.

　Immediately apologizing to him, Sidonier smiles again.

'Nice follow-up. Brilliant stuff.

　When Val complimented her, she only chuckled and didn't reply.
　The house was built much the same as his home in the second class area, but this was common for housing in the Imperial City.
　If he didn't like it, then he had to pay for it, which was the housing situation in the Empire.

''I'm back.''

　When she called out to her, a woman of the fox race, who appeared to be in her late forties, rushed to look at her.

''Welcome home, Miss. Are you a guest?''

　The fox race woman's dark eyes flicked in surprise, and Sidonier replied with a smirk.

''Yes, the same Bartolomeus of the Eight Divine Lights.

'What?　What?　Eeeeeeee?

　The woman of the fox people tribe was so exalted that she opened her eyes wide and exclaimed.
　Sydonier quickly held her ears while smiling like a childish woman whose mischief had succeeded.
　Val was dumbfounded, covering her ears even faster than she was.
