Chapter 73 (2/2)

Thumping her chest, she declared,

“As wide as this nation may be, there are few knights as manly as I am, you know. At the top are Captain York, Palwick-san, and then probably me, okay!”

“Eh…?”

“Uh…”

“No way, dude…”

It was so exaggerated that n.o.body knew how to respond.

Even Fii thought that perhaps she boasted just a little much. The anger from being left out had gotten her excited.

Still, she hadn’t thought that she had been too far off the mark. After all, all the maids had been kicking a fuss over her recently.

Fii had absolute confidence that she had manliness in her too.

“Anyway, I’m joining in. I’ll show you just how manly I am!”

“You sure? The person who gets last is gunna get a punishment game.”

“By the way, I’ve been last every time so far…” added Remié.

His shoulders were drooped, and his eyes were a bit wet.

Because of his gentle personality and rather cute appearance, it couldn’t be helped that he was low in rankings like this.

Even Fii was confident that she could beat Remié.

“No problem. After all, it’s impossible for me to lose to Remie! I’ll join! Far from losing, I’m aiming for top place!”

“So mean…!”

Ignoring the shocked Remié, the apprentice who had explained the game to Fii suddenly crossed his arms in a manly way and then declared in a deep and manly voice,

“Alright, got it! Heath will also be partic.i.p.ating in the Northern Dormitory’s Fourth Manliness Ranking. Is everyone fine with that?”

“Yeah!”

“No probs!”

“Sounds good!”

Each apprentice knight bellowed their response as they posed in a manly fas.h.i.+on, and thus, Fii’s partic.i.p.ation in the Northern Dormitory Manliness Rankings was settled.
