That day, Allen's house was a little busy in the morning.
　However, it was also a quiet morning for the landlord. While he was spreading out the newspaper in the living room, Charlotte, who had finished getting ready, came in.

"Charlotte, did you forget anything?
Charlotte, did you forget anything? Yes, I'm sure.

　Charlotte nodded her head seriously in response to Allen's question.
　She was dressed in her usual outfits today. A blue hairpiece, a dress, and a basket bag.
　It's the same outfit she wore on her date with Allen just a few weeks ago. ...... Unfortunately, another escort was assigned to escort her today.

"I'm sorry, Master Charlotte.

　Then from behind her comes Goussetsu. Instead of the usual "carefree" capybara from hell, he is a beautiful woman.
　She wears only simple clothes, but her proportions and good looks give her an aura that would attract attention at any party.
　I'm not sure what to make of this.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do with your time and how you're going to do it.
"No, you don't. I'm really looking forward to the pancakes too!
I'm really looking forward to the pancakes!

　I'm really looking forward to the pancakes!
　Apparently, a popular café in town is offering a limited menu.
　The flyer shows an illustration of pancakes piled high with cream, fruit, pudding, macarons and other toppings. It seems that only women's groups can order these pancakes, and that's why Goussetsu invited Charlotte to go eat them.
　And since it's only for women's groups, Allen will be staying at home.

(Well, yeah, ...... I can't go out with you on this one, either, ......)

　Just looking at the illustration gives me heartburn, but I think I'd collapse if I actually saw it. I'm not a big fan of sweets.
　In the event that you've got a lot more than one of these, you'll be able to take a look at a few of them.

I'm not sure what to make of this. I was surprised.
I'm not sure if this is the first time Charlotte has seen you.　How do you like it? I'm somewhat confident in my ability to change.
"It's very nice!

　Charlotte's eyes twinkled and she cheered as Gousset held out his chest. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it.

In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.
"Charlotte-dono .......

　In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

You can call me your sister if you like. If you don't mind, you can call me sister. I'd be willing to give up my world for my little sister.
No, no, no. ...... It's just in time. ......
You've got to learn to live with that.

　Allen can only stare at him. I could tell that he was joking 90% of the time, so I just gave him a glare and let him go. The other 10% was serious, so I had to be careful.
　While we were talking about this, Lu, who was eating breakfast, also came close to Charlotte.

'Mom, Lu's ready to go out too!　Let's go!
"Hmm. You're looking forward to going out, aren't you, Lu?
"You're going to eat good food, right?　Lu likes meat, but she also likes sweets.
"I hear they serve not only pancakes, but also delicious cakes and tapioca milk tea. The three of us can share.
"Share!　That sounds great!

　One of us and two of them are squealing with excitement. It's a rather strange combination, but ...... Allen has gotten used to it.
　He sits back on the couch and smiles at Charlotte.

I'm sure you'll have a great time. Call me if you need anything. I'll be right over.
"Okay. Is Mr. Allen off today?
Sort of. I'll take my time.
I'll see you at .......
Well, leave it to me to protect Master Charlotte.
"I'll get you some souvenirs, so be good.

　And with that, the ladies departed in droves.
　Immediately, the house was enveloped in silence. However, it was not completely silent, and the forest outside was filled with the sound of birds chirping and leaves rustling, creating a pleasant melody.
　Allen, left alone, stretched out on the sofa.

I'm going to read some magic papers for now.

　I've been so busy lately that I've accumulated a lot of papers.
　I picked up one of the stacks of papers on the low table beside me and flipped through it. He grabbed a red pen to check the papers and was ready to go. Immediately, Allen was so absorbed in the text of the paper that he couldn't ----. "----?

"..................?

　No matter how much he read, he couldn't get any of it into his head.


　I try to read it aloud, but the sound of my own voice echoing in the quiet living room makes it hard to sit, and I'm getting less and less engaged.

"It's funny ......, usually I should be able to get into my head more easily, but I don't ...... have a cold ......, do I?

　You know your own condition well. I'm feeling great today, without lack of sleep.
　Then there's another reason why I can't concentrate. Allen gives up and puts the stack of papers back. He twisted his head in thought for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

"...... Come to think of it, I haven't been completely alone in months, have I?

　Until the beginning of this spring, Allen had lived in this mansion all by himself.
　But now he has a roommate named Charlotte, more Lu, and more Goussetsu. In addition, there were more guests. Miaha, Eruca, Megas, Glow, and so on. There was always someone around Allen, and it was always lively and noisy.
　But today, for the first time in a long time, he's alone, and it's hard to work. This means that...

I'm ............ lonely, aren't I?

　A twenty-one-year-old man, a grown man, is lonely when he's home alone.
　It was quite a hellish scene.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no!　No!　It'll never happen!

　Allen hurriedly got up from the couch and shook his head.
　He tried his best to deny that he had noticed, but the silence of the house was bothering him. It had been a long time since I was a child, and I hadn't felt so disturbed by the absence of anyone but myself.
　However, Allen's pride wouldn't allow him to admit it.

I'm sorry, ......, but I'm a little distracted. It's not possible. It's not like you're going to be able to say, "I'm lonely. ......

　I'm not lonely or anything.

It's not that I'm lonely or anything, but ...... yeah. I'd welcome a visitor at this time, yes.

　I wanted someone to come and get me out of this uncomfortable situation as soon as possible.
　Allen briefly recalled the faces of the possible visitors. Charlotte and the others wouldn't be back until the evening, so those three were out.

　First Miaha. She came to make a delivery early in the morning, so she doesn't have much to do today.
　Then there's my sister, Eruca. We haven't seen her in a while, so it's unlikely.
　Then there's Megus, Glow and the others. ...... They're probably recuperating for the time being, since I gave them a good workout the other day.
　Jill and the owner of the magic shop have never been here, and Dorothea, the dark elf who used to live in the garden, has not been heard from since she was taken away by the editor in charge.
　In short, it was highly unlikely that a guest would come.

I'm not sure if I'm ...... a popular person or not.

　I felt the blood drain from my face.
　This is one of those days when you realize what you don't need to realize.
　As I stood there in a daze...

　Boom, boom, boom!

"......!

　Suddenly, there was a banging sound at the door.
　This was a sign that a guest had arrived, a savior who could do something about the uncomfortable atmosphere. Allen ran to the front door in a panic.

"Oh, wait!　I don't know who you are, but you're on ......?

　He opened the door triumphantly and froze.
　I froze, for it was no one I knew standing there.
　It was a young woman in silver armor. Her dignified face was full of grace, and her golden hair was tied up in a careless bun.
　Behind her, there were several other women with similar appearances.
　I seem to remember seeing them on the street, but ...... they were all people Allen didn't know. 　

Well, who are you ......?
"Pleased to meet you. I'm Giselle, commander of the city's Kingsguard.

　A woman with golden hair in a bun greeted him with a stiff face and a crooked back.
　She then glared at Allen with her sharp twin eyes.

You are the master of this house, Allen Crawford, right?
"Well, ...... Allen is me. What the hell does the Kingsguard want?　

　The Kingsguard is a self-governing organization that is hired by lords and lordsesses. It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your time and money.
　In fact, the sword that she, Giselle, wore on her hip was also quite well used.

It's a good idea to take a look at the website and see if you can find anything that might help you.

　It was only a few minutes ago that Charlotte went out, and with Goussetsu and Lu with her, there was no reason for her to be in danger.
　But Allen gulped as a bad feeling came over him.
　In front of him, Giselle went through her pockets without changing her expression.

I'm not sure what to say, but I'd like to know.

　Then she took out a letter.
　It was written in a very formal style, and was an official document that could be recognized at a glance.

"We have received an anonymous report that you have been abusing underage girls under house arrest. ...... May I accompany you to the police station?
"I knew you weren't popular!

　I'm not sure what to say, but I'm sure you'll understand.
