Three days after Perugius Dola entered a partnership with Ariel Anemoi Asura.
At an auditorium slightly far away from the magic university’s women’s dormitory, prepared for nobles, a place that has a variety of uses.
Currently, this place was reserved by Princess Ariel in preparation to move.
In front of the auditorium’s room, there were four figures.
There were three women and one man.
Quagmire Rudeus, and Silent Fitts – Sylphiette.
The other two were Sword Kings who had recently started to become famous in the neighborhood.
They were Eris and Ghyslaine.
"I’ll say this first, I’ve forgotten about etiquette."
"I’m also ignorant in manners."
In front the auditorium’s door, those two declared squarely.
Before their attitude, Rudeus shrugged his shoulders and Sylphy made a bitter smile.
"Ariel-sama isn’t a person who makes such a fuss about etiquette. For an escort attendant, no more than the necessary etiquette is required."
As Sylphy said so, she picked and removed a piece of thread she saw on Eris’s shoulder.
In front of that attitude, Eris’s mouth formed the character ‘へ’ and crossed her arms.
"But, I’m also Rudeus’s wife, if my attitude is strange, won’t I trouble Rudeus?"
Hearing Eris’s words, Rudeus was blinking his eyes in surprise.
He did not think that such words could come out from Eris.
"I’m not particularly troubled. However, I want you to keep polite speech in mind. If not, Sylphy will lose face."
"……No, I don’t particularly mind. I’ve become accustomed to such things."
Sylphy scratched the back of her ear while her mouth made a pout.
Being bullied, having experience in dressing as a male escort, she got used to being called this and that by other people.
Of course, even if she got used to it, it was tough.
But, after living together these 10 days, to expect such understanding from Eris was unfair.
"……"
On the other hand, seeing this, Eris thought that after all she should try her best.
Her feelings regarding Sylphy were still complicated.
Frankly, she did not yet hold an image of her place in the ‘family’.
However, she did not identify her as an enemy.
The feelings of being comrades, or rather the feeling of being compatriots was closer.
"Hm……"
While Eris’s face made a frown, she looked down at her attire with no self-confidence.
There were no funny places.
It was not formal attire, but Nina assured that it was not an attire that would bring shame to a Sword King.
However, she was a stubborn Sword King.
"The attire is not weird?"
"Yes. It’s fine. That form is very cool."
Having received Sylphy’s approval, Eris nodded with [Alright].
Somehow, having Sylphy say it’s all right was enough for approval.
"Or would a dress be better? After all, Eris is an Ojou-sama from a respectable family. To say, looking like an Ojou-sama would be better?"
"If there’s no problem, this is fine."
Eris has also bought clothes and accessories since coming here, but she hasn’t shown them to Rudeus yet. So far, the opportunity to wear them wasn't there…….
Somehow they did not feel suitable, not once were they put on.
What was shown was only a negligee for night use.
Furthermore, at night the period of time to show it to Rudeus was short, as a matter of fact it was soon taken off.
"About etiquette, until we arrive at Asura Kingdom it is fine to learn from Sylphy."
"……Well, I’m not reluctant to teach."
Eris took a deep breath.
Become a wife.
Become a woman suitable for Rudeus.
While thinking she had persevered well, after all just training the sword was not good.
"All right, let’s go."
Following Sylphy’s words, Eris and Ghyslaine nodded deeply.
Sylphy knocked at the door in front of them and raised her voice.
"Ariel-sama. Eris Greyrat and Ghyslaine Dedorudia-sama have come for introduction!"
"Please enter."
Sylphy opened the door and entered inside.
Due to packing, the inside of the room was more messy than usual.
Ariel was seated in the middle of the room.[1]
Sylphy moved to stand next to Ariel.
Rudeus stood in the middle between Ariel and Eris.
Rudeus first placed his hand to his chest and bowed, then gestured with his hand towards Eris.
"Ariel-sama. This person is Eris, Eris Greyrat. I’m sure Ariel-sama already knows, she is the swordswoman with the alias Mad Sword King. For this journey, she will accompany me, Rudeus Greyrat, as an escort."
Rudeus said so far, then called her out in a low voice with [Hey, Eris].
Eris noticed her arms being folded, placed her hand to her chest and bowed.
It is an imitation of Rudeus.
"Eris Greyrat."
