Business Meetings with the Three Major Trading Companies
Two days after my discussion with Brother Roland, negotiations with the Elfast Magic Kingdom regarding the magic vehicle were terminated. Then, two days later, the presidents of the three major trading companies appointed by the Royal castle within the Kingdom of Critonia were summoned to the palace.
Regarding negotiations with the major trading companies, Prime Minister Sylberg personally handled them. For the...

Negotiations with the Elfast Magic Kingdom
Two weeks after conducting the trial run of the magic vehicle, Emmy and I had repeated discussions and finally completed the magic vehicle that would become our product.
The prototype magic vehicle used during the trial run was made of metal, but because of the risk of it being misused in warfare and such, we changed most of the body to wood.
Furthermore, for precision parts like the suspension, we degraded the perform...

With bare legs, bare belly button, and shin hair.
The gentleman waiting at the school gate was the Duke Carlisle. It's probably about his son.
"Please, Marchioness Burton! Lift the curse from my son."
The sobbing gentleman... Duke Carlisle. Personally, I have a good relationship with the Duke Carlisle. I call him Ojisama with affection. The Duke is a moderate and has little prejudice against Beastmen. He's calm and thinks Beastmen are excellent in their own rig...

Reporting is important.
After fully charging up on Dirk's affection, I arrived at school only to have my mental state immediately ground down. Oh God, Shiva-sama, Kurarin-sama... do you have some grudge against me? On second thought, I feel like it wouldn't be unreasonable for Shiva to hold a grudge.
But really, is prostrating at the school gate the latest trend? Also, I don't think I've ever told anyone to prostrate themselves, but it feels like it's happening to me...

Rewards for the Frost Wyverns
After exterminating the Frost Wyverns, the next day, we headed to the Adventurers' Guild to receive our reward.
Due to the number of wyverns we defeated, we decided to collect our reward a day later.
When we approached Melanie's reception desk, she promptly led me to a back reception room.
Hmm, a bad feeling.
The amount announced by Melanie while serving tea was a surprising sum for this round of Frost Wyvern rewards.

Frost Wyvern Subjugation This Time
Due to the commotion surrounding Talat's evolution into a Frost Silk Spider, our departure for the Frost Wyvern hunt, our original prey, was delayed by a day.
The journey was similar to when we defeated the Ice Cyclops, so it wasn't much of a problem.
When we arrived, it wasn't Snowelter's dwelling but simply a steep cliff.
This seems to be the Frost Wyvern's habitat.
"Definitely here. It matches perfectly with the Adventur...

What is the Value of Frost Spider Silk?
The next morning, I visited the Trade Guild to meet with Alizée.
Meeting Alizée was easy, but things got busy from there.
When I showed her the Frost Spider Silk, even Alizée looked puzzled and began examining it in detail with a magnifying glass for appraisal.
After confirming the details, she emphasized that no one should speak of this and immediately went to call Priscilla.
Is this fabric really that amazing?

"I wonder why you fell in love with Prince Akemi? Himari asked me with a serious expression. It was so strange.”
"That child has been acting strange lately."
"Did he find a girlfriend, or did someone whisper love to him?"
"How interesting~ Could it be his first love?"
"Oh my, how lovely."
The voices of the three women could be heard. The last one was Aoba’s.

I was incredibly grateful to be sheltered in the Commander's exclusive tent or room. The whispers behind my back about being given special treatment despite being a new recruit were countered by the usefulness of my title and the respect it commanded.
Similarly, I skillfully used the gossip about being the Commander's favorite to my advantage.
In reality, Sakuji never made advances towards me.
I glanced at Sakuji once more. He was vigilant, always lo...

"What are you saying? Chasing after someone in that way is no good."
Sakuji interjected, questioning with a hint of accusation.
"Just stating the facts. It's not about chasing after. I can't live without him.”
Otoha detached herself from Naruhito next to her and calmly stated. Naruhito nodded in agreement.
"We must ensure His Highness and Hitachimaru live long lives."
Sakuji sighed and, for some reason, turned towards me.

Feeling a bit guilty for leaving Adry-sama and Sei, who invited us to lunch, behind, but not wanting to attract any more attention from the Knights division, the three of us girls hurriedly followed the Head Chef into the cafeteria.
"Um... was it really okay for me to join you?"
Alicia-sama asked while glancing at the line of Knights class students lined up outside.

Needless to say, Mariel-chan was gazing dreamily at the two murmuring to each other.

I suggested, looking at the long line of Knights Division students and ready to give up and suggest going back to...

Trial Run of the Magic Vehicle
The barrel containing the miasma water was moved from the Royal Castle to the dwarves' workshop due to Sister Emily's opposition.
Emmy and I carried one barrel into a room in the workshop and decided to inspect the miasma water.
We uncorked the barrel and transferred the water into a glass tank.
The miasma water was a transparent pale green color and had a rich forest scent.
So far, we felt no physical discomforts, and it se...

After somehow convincing Sister Emily, Brother Adel proceeded to persuade Brother Roland, and then set off with Kreiss and the others for the Primitive Sea of Trees again.
Brother Adel can be stubborn once he sets his mind to something, and lately, he's been frustrated with political matters, so going on a journey might be a good break for him.
Now, until Brother Adel returns from the Primitive Sea of Trees, let's advance our ideas for t...

The dwarves were pleased with the abundance of alcohol, and there were no complaints about not entering the to...

Frost Silk Spider
When I selected the evolution path, the cocoon began to shake.
Eventually, the entire cocoon froze, and when the ice shattered, Talat emerged, about one size smaller than before.
This time, Talat's entire body was unified in shades of blue.
It's a chilly blue with a mix of silver, definitely giving off an icy vibe.
So this is the Frost Silk Spider.
But what's going on?
He was staring at me without moving.
"Talat, can you understand...

Until dusk, we searched for Ice Cyclopes and managed to defeat a total of seven.
The Snowelter said it doesn't sense anymore, so it seems we've taken them all down.
But understandably, dealing with this many high-level monsters has left us exhausted...

Ah, yes.

The next morning, guided by Snowelter, we were led to the lair of the Ice Cyclops.
As we proceeded, frost began to descend on the ground, and the temperature dropped rapidly.
It seems the temperature around the Ice Cyclops decreases, just as Melanie mentioned.
Continuing forward, the trees eventually cleared.
Peering beyond, we saw a giant on the other side of the frozen river, feasting on something.
With its pale blue skin, it was...

Coming home, flirting and fluffing.
As we returned home, snuggling with Dirk in the carriage, the coachman had a look on his face like he'd reached enlightenment, but I'd like to think that was just my imagination. The carriage dropped us off at our house, then returned to the Burton estate.
Upon arriving home, I immediately set to preparing dinner. There's no time to waste! Today, it'll be quick and easy dishes! All for the sake of fluffiness!!

Disappointed and excited.
We go back in time a bit, after school, where Rinka was doing her punishment cleaning. I wanted to help, but I also had work to do, so I couldn't.
Plus, my darling picks me up every day! My joy was riding in the carriage with him and chatting on the way home! It would take just a moment via teleportation, but I sit on Dirk's lap in the carriage and tell him about my day at school. Dirk always says, "We can't go to school together, but at least I want us to w...

"I might not even remember living here..."
Suddenly, it got noisy, and people in black clothes rushed out of the gate. It seemed like the servants were evacuating, so there didn't seem to...

Since Hitachimaru was driving, I leaned comfortably against Otoha. But then, Hiiro separated us.

"I won't cling to just anyone."
Hmm, as I thought about it, Hiiro leaned against me.
