"Well, then, Mr. Elena was quite successful in guillem,"
"Oh, there were a lot of troubles caused by Gillum's plan to build an extension, but thanks to Elena's presence, many cases were solved."

　Ray's words impressively nod.
　For Terres, it's not so unusual that Elena was active.
　That's why she earned the nickname Hime Shogun for her many great achievements in the battlefield.
　Still, it may be that he is impressed by Ray's words because he is flattered... but it is also surprising that Elena is active outside of the aristocracy.
　For Tellez... no, for other aristocratic nobles, Elena is still the symbol of the aristocracy, the princess general.
　That being the case, his performance is rare.
　...though the subject of conversation seemed a little embarrassed.
　Elena knows she's being talked about in many ways, and it's not uncommon for her to actually talk about it in front of her.
　But it was also true that if it was done in front of Ray, it would involve considerable embarrassment.
　And when Elena tries to say something, she knocks on the door of the room in a way that blocks it.
　When Elena gave her permission and the door opened, there was a maid figure.

"Excuse me, Miss Ranigs Musey and Geiska Seysore. What shall I do?"
"Oh, Lanigs and Geiska together? What a strange combination!"

　Teles looked slightly surprised by the maid's words.
　For Terres, who lived in Annesis, Ranigs and Geiska were familiar faces.
　However, it is common for the same aristocratic name to appear first, but Ranigus's presence may be a sign of who he likes first.
　In fact, since the maids said it in that order, it shows what Geiska is supposed to be.

"Well... well, what should I do?"

　Elena looks a little lost.
　If this had been Raniggs alone, Elena would have let him come here without showing any sign of concern.
　Lanigs is a royal nobleman, but common sense... because he knows that he has common sense in dealing with people, not common sense as a nobleman.
　But Geiska, who came with Ranigus, was proud, coming from a high marquis family.
　It's not his own ability, it's his pride that he thinks is strange if he doesn't give priority unconditionally.
　What happens if such a person encounters Ray?
　It was understandable to Elena, who knew Ray's character.
　Geiska is one of the most influential aristocrats in the House of Seysore, and I don't want to see such a person in Ray's shoes.

"Well... he wants to say hello to Mr. Ray if possible, so he wants me to let him through."
"...what? Who said that?"
"Mr. Lanigs,"

　Elena frowns a little at the maid's words.
　There's a lot of Tighag in it. Think so. ... Immediately anticipate what Raniggs is thinking.

(For the royal side, Ray and...or the neutrality and aristocracy should not get any closer. And some aristocrats are like Geiska. I mean...)

　Here he hits out at Ray and Geiska to make him realize that he doesn't really want to get along with the aristocracy... but he doesn't want to get along very well with them.
　Even so, Elena thinks for a few more seconds and nods back.

"All right. Show them here, then."
"Dear Elena!"

　Arra understood what Elena had thought.
　That's why I thought it would be the flow of conversation if we didn't see each other this time or if we didn't have Ray.
　But what Elena said was to call him here.
　That means obviously here Rey and Geiska bump into each other... no, it meant Geiska would make a habit of Rey.
　I know it's going to happen. Why?
　Elena nods back as if she knew everything about her.

(If I refused here, Ranigus would probably try to contact me on his own. I'd rather talk where I was than be contacted where I didn't know him. And Ranigus probably came with Geiska on the assumption that I would.)

　In other words, when Ranigs and Geiska came together, Elena's best choice was to call them here.
　Elena understands that she's one step behind, but she's just a little excited about what Lanigs will do before Ray.

"I don't mind. Lanigs and Geiska also said they wanted to come all the way here. That being the case, there must be some reason. Then you can't refuse it without any reason."
"If that's the reason..."

　Don't you know [You know] Lord Ray?
　Arra wanted to say that, but as far as Elena's looks go, she thinks it's probably useless to say anything here and shuts up.
　Terres has a look of hope on his face as to what is about to begin, and there is no sign of stopping Elena.

"And may I invite Mr. Lanigs, Mr. Geiska here?"
"Yes,"

　At Elena's words, the maid bowed out of the room.
　Ah... I was facing the door where such a maid had closed, and Arla reached out as if she wanted to say something... but it was never going to be said.
　Instead, Arra asks Elena to check.

"Is it really good? It's definitely going to make a fuss."

　Arra knows of Lanigs and Geiska, of course, because she is a subordinate of Elena.
　Nevertheless, Arla is considered inferior to the Marquis Gaiska, since she is the third daughter of the Earl of Scarley.
　...the third and fourth sons, both of whom are unlikely to be able to take over the family, are not in as different positions as Geiska thinks.
　No, since he is in the position of captain of the Guards Knights as a subordinate of Elena, there will be more people who consider Arra to be superior externally.
　For Geiska, however, the lineage that flows through him is more important and everything.
　With such a person, it's not always the case that Ray and I are compatible.
　No, it could be said that it's the worst.

(When it comes to the crunch... I'll have to stop it.)

　Arra was nowhere near Ray or Elena in terms of combat power, because the comparison was too bad.
　If you're dealing with an untrained Geiska, you're strong enough to hold it back easily.
　Not wanting to make her bleed in front of Elena, Arra is determined to do so.
　...that determination does not mean that Geiska should not be injured, though it clearly shows what Arla thinks of him.

"Well, it's going to be something interesting,"

　Tellez murmured joyfully, and when she heard it, a knock on the door echoed through the room before Arla tried to say anything.
　When Elena gives her permission to enter the room, the door opens and the same maid appears.
　What is different is that the maid showed the two men around.

"Hi, long time no see Elena. She's always beautiful."
"Lanigs is right. Elena, you're always beautiful. No, aren't you more beautiful in a little while? Your beauty never faded in the wild lands of Gilm."

　The two were in their late teens and early twenties.
　and although they were all of a set of features, the man who spoke later -- Geiska -- showed some bad character in his face as compared to the man who spoke first -- Ranigs.
　It was all the more strange because it was definitely a beauty.
　Gaiska's words, in particular, are enough to make it uncomfortable not only for Guillum-based Rey, but also for Elena and Arla, who have lived in Guillum for a while.
　Is Geiska aiming for it, or is that the way it is?
　Ray didn't understand it, but it was almost impossible to do him a favor at least.For some reason... No, it's because Ray is here. He tries to say something to Gaiska, who continues to look down on Gillum with joy... some people moved before that.

"Isn't your speech and behavior rude, Mr. Geiska, when there was a native of Guilm, saying so? Besides, I was with Mr. Elena and Guilm, and it was a lively and good place."

　Before Ray and Elena could open their mouths, Arla said so.
　However, when Geiska hears Arla's words, she looks at him uncomfortably because she was interrupted by her act of disparaging Gillum.

"The third daughter of the Earl of Scarley's family should not have given me an opinion, as it is in front of Elena, but she should not have taken advantage of it."
"Calm down, Geiska. Are you going to cause unnecessary trouble in front of Elena? And Gillum is the city where Elena was staying until the other day. If you say so badly, of course Elena would feel good, wouldn't she?"

　Lanigs interrupts Gaiska's words.
　Gaiska's words and actions were just as Lanigs had expected.
　... well, it was much more radical than I should say.
　What was particularly miscalculated was his tone toward Arra.
　Arra is known as Elena's confidant and best friend.
　Of course, blaming Arra doesn't make Elena feel good.
　Or if you're blaming Arra for being wrong, it's fine, but this time it was clearly a false accusation.
　If you look at this situation objectively, Geiska will be the one to blame.
　Lanigs had thus come with Geiska to make Ray feel better about himself."If there was a miscalculation, was Lanigs underestimating Gaiska's hostility toward Ray?
　Since entering the room, Geiska has looked at Elena, Arra and Terres, but not at all at Ray.
　That's the attitude of not recognizing that it's there.
　Of course, that's not to say that Ray really doesn't recognize him, and that's what he does.
　Originally, it would have been no fun if Ray had such an attitude, but since Ray was a nobleman in a bad way, I thought that if he said something here, it would cause trouble to Elena... so I ignored him.

"Guiska, can you think of it as an insult to Arra?"

　To Elena, Arra has been a close friend since childhood.
　And at the same time, they are the most reliable subordinates.
　There's no way Elena can keep silent because she's being criticized.
　Geiska shook her head in a flurry as she looked angrily at him.

"No, no, no way. I just put my foot in it..."

　The reason why the first person has changed from me to me is probably because of the difference between myself and Elena.

"Then what if the fourth son of the Marquis were to displease the Duchess's eldest daughter?"

　Geiska's movement snapped at the sudden burst of the voice.
　That's because what Geiska was saying came straight back to me.
　Although Geiska tried to silence his opponent at the height of his peerage, Elena is actually by far the better position.
　What on earth are you doing that makes the Elena uncomfortable?
　It was Terres who delivered a fatal blow to Geiska with a single stab.
　At such a telly, the Countess was about to cry out, but before that, someone spoke.

"Is this the end of the ugly farce of a man who can only brag about something of no descent, not his own?"

　muttered Ray, who had ignored Geiska until now.
