48-1. A social gathering under the moonlight.
***
To be honest, I didn’t expect to see something like that.
Fine Grancia in a pure white dress.
It was frilled and short, but it felt very different from the wedding attire.
“..Licht. Are you nervous?”
That brilliant innocence was right in front of my eyes.
Wearing her hair ornament made of her mana rose preciously, she intends to attend her social gathering.
“I’m a little nervous.”
I am not yet a bride to be married. You have to come to your senses.
‘Actually, it didn’t even come out that I had 100% of my romance, or that I had seen the event CG.’
Inside the softly rattling wagon. It’s similar to when I first came to the academy, but it’s a little different.
“Heh heh, Licht-sama seems nervous too.”
Mr. Coachman… No, we were sitting side by side in the carriage driven by Disjur.
Where have you seen the most? I talked to Fine because I wanted to calm the awkward air flow.
“Pine, aren’t my clothes weird?”

“Yeah.. He’s handsome?”
Not the face, but the suit you’re wearing right now. Bloody
“..I understand that it’s okay.”
She wore a white suit from head to toe, finished off with a golden tie.
I am moving with my face shield exposed.
Some say you have to show your face at social gatherings. I know it wasn’t like that in the game I played.
Tok, beside her, her elbow touched my arm.
I only brushed my arm, but it felt like an electric current was flowing. Harmful to the heart.
“I’ll apply burn ointment.”
Pine clings right next to me. Cainell must have felt this way.
“..Isn’t it cold?”
“It’s nice because it’s cool.”
Fine applies cold cream to her tiny hands and carefully touches my face.
“..Whoops, it feels like putting on makeup.”
Looking at the wolf’s eyes glowing with gold as if it were interesting, and the pure white ears lying slightly back, he looks happy.
Fine’s black choker, which shows off her presence every time she moves since earlier, continues to step on her eyes.
[Lee Soo-hyun♡ Fine Grancia 14% ‘NEW!!’]
While I was trying to figure out what the accessory meant, a status window popped up in front of me.
[Putting a leash on the saintess, you have a unique taste! Lee Soo-hyun! Σ(°Д°]
Shut up, it’s not a leash, it’s a choker. Can you use it as an accessory?
This guy’s status window is the same. An evil person who only uses emoticons and mocks them. I don’t know if she gave her hints about her sooner.
“Licht, what’s wrong?”
If it wasn’t for Fine, I wouldn’t have been possessed by this game.
“….”
I felt the air clogging my chin and sighed deeply.
Looking out of the wagon, memories of staying up all night playing games.
The time she worked hard for her happy ending passes by.
The me of the past who struggled to catch the magic hat, mastering the strategy and even taking notes with a pen and notebook.
Except for the enemy who closed his eyes to sleep, there was not a day that I stopped thinking about Fine.
Yeah, it’s better than dying dozens of times from Magic Hat. Let’s try harder.
“..I’m just worried that Kanel and Ariel are following me well.”
First of all, I had to check if they were moving with the warrior couple. They say they prepared two wagons.
“Yes, it’s the carriage right behind us…” .”
“But why did you let them ride separately? Blood.”
Sigh, Fine’s eyes shook slightly. She trembles slightly as if she is uneasy.
“That, please don’t listen to me strangely….”
“Of course not. Blood.”
What are you trying to say? Oh, I forgot to say respectful words too.
“I want to monopolize you..”
How should I react? Pine who says embarrassing things casually.
“Pine, don’t do that again. You were surprised.”
I couldn’t help this cute wolf so I stroked her head.
“Lee, Richt..”
“Please don’t think of monopolizing me. Then something bad happens.”
If Fine, the princess, used her power recklessly, it would be a big problem.
“I don’t like it..”
Contrary to the first time we met the warrior couple, Fine and I shared warmth and stuck together.
“Richt… I recognized him first… but he doesn’t like being touched by others…”
Is that what it was? Hagiya, after catching the Demon King of Battery, his reputation has changed around him.
“..You are my knight.”
While receiving my petting as if it were pleasant, she was complaining.
If you keep doing this, I think you’ll end up filming a real yandere. I can’t.
“If that’s the case… Fine, would you like some candy?”
She took out a trumpet for a time like this from her bosom.
A sweet lump made from a mixture of sugar and honey.
It is a candy mixed with an additional spoonful of lies that say that the divine power is low.
“….”
Crasak, like a wolf hunting its prey, it quickly snatches candy from my hand and blooms.
“Umm, very.. So sweet..”
She makes a small noise as if she hadn’t thought of this level of sweetness. She had her hands on both her cheeks with a happy expression on her face.
“Licht, where did you buy this?”
“The Grancia Empire Bakery.”
Snooping, Pineda tilts her head like it’s strange.
“It was originally like this.. Sweet..?”
Well well. Fine said while savoring the candy. You bought it at the bakery, right?
Why is that?
I don’t think I hate it when I see the wolf’s tail wagging violently and the ears lying completely flat as if they weren’t there….
It was then. Rumbled, once the carriage rocked greatly.
“We have arrived at the social gathering place. Everyone.”
A large white building appeared in front of Dejour, who was smiling brightly.
***
A place where a large chandelier hangs down the center and aristocratic children dressed in antique clothes gather in groups of threes and fives to talk and dance.
“..Being a commoner makes me feel intimidated.”
“Kai, we were invited by the princess! Do not do that!”
Kainel in a red suit and Ariel in a gold dress and finely powdered spoke up.
Yeah, it’s gorgeous once in a while.
‘This is the place where Nex and Chartines first met.’
It was fresh when I personally checked the place I had only heard about.
People who appear to be butlers or maids serve meat or wine.
“How have you been? Lady Marghetta.”
“Oh, hello.”
A heterogeneous scene where noble ladies holding fans greet each other.
Excluding Fine, they made us feel that we shouldn’t exist as commoners.
“..Once you have this wolf brooch, no one will look down on you.”
Tuk, Fine, who was looking around the social gathering place, started handing out brooches.
A wolf with the sun and moon drawn on it. It was enough to know at a glance what it meant.
“It is proof that you have been invited here under my protection.”
After distributing them to the couple of warriors one by one, Fine put the golden wolf accessory on my chest and attached it to me.
“..Now that’s it. My knight.”
I can see the corner of his mouth rising slightly as if he is satisfied. Why is mine different from the other two?
With my hands clasped tightly, Fine blended into the crowd at the social gathering.
“Juniors!! You are here too!”
“Oh, Licht’s juniors are also presidents of social clubs..?”
At last, a welcome voice came from the surroundings. Nex and Chartines.
Nex is wearing a different black tailcoat than he usually wears, and Chartines is holding a purple rosary in her hand.
‘Fortunately, these two are here too.’
It may be that Fine has helped her. Because she knows I’ve been bitter at Yasa in the North.
“Nice to meet you. Seniors.”
“It’s been a while. Brother, sister.”
I nodded to them. Fine shook her palms as well.
“Hey, brother Nex. Can I try some of this?”
“Ariel, you really like to eat….”
Looking at the steak platter on the table, Ariel gulped.
“Why! Yesterday, I was starving because I was going to the social church…. Ah.”
Ariel looked down at her anger as usual, and she regretted her slip of the tongue.
“Really? My girlfriend should eat more.”
“Kai..Don’t make fun of me..”
Kinel smiled brightly as she ordered additional food from a waiter nearby.
Is it the influence of being with me? You’re so sly
“Could it be that the juniors are also lovers?”
“Yes! We started dating a few days ago..!”
Said Ariel shyly scratching her cheeks, which were as red as the color of her hair.
Looking like you’re not ashamed anymore. The tsundere elf melted behind the scenes of love.
It would be great if she could only meet Asha Aureus and get permission to marry her.
“I understand.”
At that moment, her bodyguards appeared beside Fine, delivered something of her, and left.
What, what happened?
“Licht. It’ll take a while. Come with me.”
She took my hand and started moving towards the front of the social venue. Crossing between people, Fine looked more confident than ever.
“I would like to thank all of you who are here today.”
Fine and I climbed the stairs and reached the space prepared on the second floor. This is a special seat where you can look down on all the people on the first floor.
“As those in the know know, I am Fine Grancia. I am the princess of the empire that my father rules over.”
What? Pine, wait a minute. Can I just reveal my identity like this?
“On a night like today when the moonlight is beautiful.”
My hands began to shake a little in the rushing situation.
I don’t know why she’s doing this all of a sudden when she doesn’t like to go out in public.
From noble mtl dot com
“I am also attending the social gathering as a partner with the black knight next to me.”
Pine looks at me and smiles.
Then why did she put the golden brooch on me?
“….”
I am ashamed to lift her face. All eyes are on me and Fine.
“Please, I hope it will be a fun social church.”
Wine glasses were pushed aside from her side, and Fine raised her glass and signaled me to have a toast.
In the end, Chang─. And the glass collided, creating a cheerful sound like a xylophone.
“Glory to the Grancia Empire.”
The start of the social church was splendidly announced.
I had a hard time seeing Fine and her face, so I looked elsewhere.
‘..Asha Aureus?’
In the far corner of the pillar, he found the golden-haired woman watching her son, Nex.
