After everything was arranged, Ryuto went downstairs because Anna said she needed to change clothes, so she asked Ryuto to go down first.

Speaking of which, since she's not going out to attend the banquet, why does she need to wear that outfit? Now she has to change again. She should know we're going out in the afternoon. If she knows, then why...

Hmm...

I really can't figure it out. After all, they are from completely different worlds. The world of nobles, something a commoner like me can't understand.

"Oh... Have you finished talking?"

The Marquis Delance standing in the hall looked at Ryuto coming down and asked.

"Ah, well, Anna said she needs to change clothes, so we're waiting for her."

"I see. No problem. By the way, you did call her Anna just now..."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

Marquis Delance smiled and waved his hand.

"I see..."

This old man is really strange. Of course, Ryuto could only complain in his heart.

"But it's alright. Since Anna is changing clothes, we have a bit of time. Amagi, I'd like to talk to you."

"Uh..."

Here it comes. Although expected, I didn't expect it to be now. First, give me a glimmer of hope, and then drag me to hell at the last moment? This tactic is too ruthless.

"Do you have any questions?"

"No, no questions. Okay, sure."

"Since that's settled, come with me. It won't take long."

"...”

To finish someone off wouldn't take long, but in the end, would I still not be able to walk out alive? Damn, I've been careless. Now even Crepes Clair isn't here, probably taken away. I won't be able to rely on them anymore. Even though I don't know exactly how to rely on them, considering I'm a novice, should I use both hands for support? Or just one hand? And where should I rely on? Well, thinking about these things now seems pointless.

Is this his plan? I didn't expect to be backstabbed at the last moment...

Damn rich handsome guys. Even though I feel whether they are rich and handsome is irrelevant, I still want to say it: Damn rich handsome guys, curse you all to explode.

So, Ryuto followed Marquis Delance to a room on the first floor. The room was not big, with only a simple sofa and a table, probably specially for discussing matters, or rather, for exterminating thorns in the eyes.

"Take a seat, Amagi."

Marquis Delance pointed to the sofa beside.

"Uh, sure."

Well, if I'm going to die, I'll die. I was ready to gamble during the meal, and my last words were already prepared. I have no regrets.

After Ryuto sat down, Marquis Delance also sat opposite him on the sofa. They stared at each other, but Ryuto was not idle. While looking at the other party, he had already aimed at the shortcut keys he set during the meal, ready to press it if the other party made any move, even if it comes to a fight to the death.

Well, although it seems like the other party is cheating, with unlimited health now.

"Amagi, there is something I want to tell you."

The other party spoke first.

"Ah."

I know without saying, say whatever you want. My skills are ready, and it's OK anytime.

"Well... to be honest, my relationship with Anna has never been good. Although it may not seem so to outsiders, there seems to be a barrier between us."

"Huh...?"

Feeling quite surprised, Ryuto had already forgotten about pressing the shortcut key at this point. Of course, thoughts of mutual destruction were also forgotten.
