“Ririina, good work Hasn’t it been exhausting to play along with Prince Leon? For now it seems that everyone has left so shall we return

to the mansion?”

“No, it hasn’t really been that exhausting But before I return to the mansion I need to report to Father and the others, butone way or the other we still haven’t reached a conclusion, it seems”

As I said this looking troubled Chris-sama responded with a smile

“Ririina, it’s fine Why, because you e to hi any ain another day Because it would cause an uproar if I was discovered here I’ain back there”

After ponponing my head a second time he went and left

And thus no one was left

Just as the matter with these past few minutes?

It’s been like a storm especially since Brother appeared

As for o report this for now

But just how am I supposed to explain what happened here?

“ and with that there hasn’t been ement I am truly very sorry”

I sis as they were

The reactions upon hearing my report differed individually

The King was groaning while holding his head

Rachel-saainst her hand

Father was cackling ‘fufufu’ while looking at the King with an evil smile

By his side Mother wassure of the condition of her fist

First of all MotherBrother, is what I think

Brother mine, today won’t be over with 5 times

And there may possibly even kicks involved

Do your best!

“Ano, it doesn’t look like we can continue this talk today any ht to leave the rest for another day?”

Towards my words the first to react was Rachel-sama

“Ririina, it hI really aht his up in a single go with everyone assembled”

We really should

Since it seems that my words don’t reach Leon-sama it would be better for someone else to be present as well

“Now then, ill be returning now Ririina, let us go And let us expectantly await Ricardo’s return to the mansion, shall we”

Mother mine, what’s up with that smile?

Despite being a sry at what is with this amount of pressure

Is Brother going to be alright?

He’s sturdy, after all, so I’ht?

Translator’s notes

[1] 私の頭を軽くポンポンとした。 : I read and hear about this kind of gesture often in japanese pop culture (es) but I still can’t figure out what they think to try to express with it With round I can’t help but see it as a so (as in, to kind of emphasize their respective positions of above and beneath in a relationshi+p) gesture, but is that actually intended? I sure don’t hope it is I’ood with social cues that appear in stories but yeah, this one still eludes me

(1) More apparent in the raws, but it appears Chris talkseven worse with Leon than Ririina Like an overly fa of dissonance Iine how someone walks up to you, puts their arm around your shoulder, asks you for money in a superficially friendlydown on you It kind of rese this now because this is the first line he’s actually directed at Leon It holds true for pretty ree

(2) It is much later (as in, some 25 chapters later) mentioned that Ricardo doesn’t use force with Leon because he’s a Prince, and I reckon it ht be the same with Chris who is a Prince as well Would explain why the head of the chivalric order (and Son of that family) could not ine he could have dragged theer, really
