Vol Chapter 57 (2/2)
Ratoka round in frustration, then he heard a voice colder than any he’d ever heard before
“You wake up so early, you daetic, why don’t you practice some more with me for another five rounds?”
At the same moment, Ratoka’s wooden sword that had been knocked out of his hand ca him to moan
Even though he was only eight years old, Ratoka recklessly glared at his opponent Gunther Gunther who had his foot on top of Ratoka’s head as he laid down on the ground, defeated, returned a sharp gaze back at him
“……Sorry”
Although Ratoka reluctantly apologized, Gunther’s gaze didn’t change at all Gunther finally pulled his leg back a bit, and Ratoka hurriedly jumped up and retrieved his sword
He felt like Gunther was about to kick hiht
Ratoka barely e Gunther’s foot by a hair’s breadth, and Gunther tut tutted
“Come on, don’t laze around, let’s start already!”
“Yes, Gunther-sensei”
Ratoka nodded, and Gunther started attacking hiain
……It only took two attacks, before Ratoka was knocked over on the ground again
In the afternoon, he has to go forage for his own dinner That’s the rule of this domain’s army
His physical strength was pushed to its li up, so of course it was i in his state of extreht
He’s used to feeling hungry anyways Sulking and telling hi it out of defiance, Ratoka had never once gone out to forage for dinner
Instead –
“Ah, you’ve co to use parentheses to shoho is speaking for this section to reduce confusion, as Ratoka goes by ‘Elise’ as hen in the mansion)
Still caring about what others thought of hilared at Eliza’s mansion, a symbol of the former doarden’s complicated layout, he heard a soft voice from aabove him
“Elise-sama!” (Ratoka)
When Ratoka looked up, he saw a girl meet his eyes, perched with her elbows on the sill frohted to see hiantly
“Hehehe…… How funny You’re also ‘Elise-sama,’ aren’t you?” (Elise)
Although he still felt slightly bitter at being called that, he sed it down and sirl More importantly to Ratoka, he’s happy that Elise seeain today
“Elise-sama, what shall we talk about today?” (Elise)
“Anything ……But anyways, Elise-sama, I…… when you address me, you really don’t have to add -sama” (Ratoka)
Ratoka h he comes here and says that every time, Elise would always sreed to his request
Well, his true wish is to actually have Elise call him by his real na Elise his real name
That’s why, at the very least, he hoped that Elise could address him more familiarly
Talking with a noble girl, he’s scared to ask her for anything more than that – and he’s also confused, because Elise doesn’t fit his e of how a “noble” should be at all
He’s always believed that nobles were arrogant spendthrifts that never thought about co other than look pretty andthat had told hi else about nobles, nor does he want to hear
Unfortunately, the now former lord of this domain, was even worse than the nobles she talked about, is what he had thought
However, Elise who always sently at him, he couldn’t think of her as a typical noble at all
He felt hi her to be special, and Ratoka viewed her as sacred
However, the difference between nobles has hile day, when he’s in the barracks, he has to hear her naain, that nairl that the soldiers also call Charlie, Eliza He hates everything about her, that dahter
What’s “Charlie” even supposed to

While he sain in the back of his mind, Ratoka spat at Eliza
