"I didn't do anything, it's just that..."

"Ah, it's natural, maybe because I naturally have the kind of physique that looks very young."

"..."

He actually said he naturally has the kind of physique that looks very young.

Damn handsome and wealthy man, isn't this blatant boasting? How can those women who struggle to maintain their youth by going to beauty salons feel good about themselves?

"Let's not talk about the plane, at least in the matter of saving my daughter, it wasn't someone else who did it."

"Saving someone?"

"Ah, I heard from Delance, you risked your life to save my daughter from the car, if it weren't for you, my daughter would have been in danger."

"Ah, that, it's nothing, just happened to be there."

Ryuto just waved his hand, while Count Delance smiled faintly.

"However, the young Amagi didn't know in advance."

"Know what?"

"Know who he was saving."

"Ah, that, of course not, it was just a coincidence, and the situation was urgent at the time, so it was impossible to know, right?"

"Right, that's why I admire the young Amagi."

Count Delance suddenly declared in a loud voice.

"Huh?"

This shout startled Ryuto, and facing the somewhat bewildered Ryuto, Count Delance spoke again.

"In fact, I heard from Delance that you didn't accept the money."

"Money?"

"Yes, the money as a token of gratitude."

"That...”

To this, Ryuto could only respond with a wry smile.

Stop talking, aren't you just stirring up my past regrets?

I regret so much now, if I had taken the money back then, I could have splurged, buying all the games and manga I wanted...

Oh man...

The more I think about it, the more I regret.

However, the other party's words continued.

"To risk your life to save someone without knowing who they are, and the purpose of saving is not for money or anything, you know, nowadays, no matter what people do, it's all about self-interest, young people like you are rare, that's why I admire you."

"Is that so..."

Why do I suddenly feel intense guilt...

Don't think of me as so pure.

Ryuto really wanted to say it out loud, but before that...

"Really, Father is causing trouble for others again."

As the door opened, a voice came through.

"Oh, it's Anna, you misunderstood, I was just having a friendly conversation with Amagi."

Count Delance shifted his gaze to the door, shrugging slightly helplessly.

Ryuto also moved his gaze to the door, but was a step behind because he was facing away.

But the next moment...

"..."

Upon seeing the person in front of him, Ryuto was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

It's not that he saw an unexpected person, it was clear from Delance's responses earlier that the visitor was definitely that woman.

Anyone could figure it out, and a little thought would reveal who it was.

The reason Ryuto was so surprised was because of the clothes the person in front of him was wearing.

How should I put it, it was a pink off-shoulder gown, or rather, it would be more appropriate to call it an evening gown, because that outfit looked very expensive, no, I shouldn't say that, it screamed extravaganza, I should say it was gorgeous instead. In addition, there was a reason for this, namely the silk-like transparent white long gloves on her hands, usually only worn with evening gowns, well, as for the hairstyle, it seemed different from yesterday, but to Ryuto, it seemed almost the same, after all, Ryuto wasn't too keen on this. However, the main reason Ryuto was so surprised was...

Why is she wearing that?
