A week has passed in the blink of an eye since Hualien came to live at the Countess Walker''s house.


    Although she does not show her emotions very much, Hanae seems to be surprisingly sociable and soon became friendly with the members of the Count''s family.


    Lise was friendly from the first meeting, and so were the other sisters.


    Alicia, being of the same s*x, conversed with them without any wariness.


    When she saw Alicia riding on a baby dragon, Karen was indeed surprised, but after a while, she too was allowed to ride on the back of the baby dragon.


    She has been adored by Erika ever since they had a hand-to-hand combat.


    As the granddaughter of Mokuren, the first wizard of the court, Hanae showed more than enough ability, and Erika accepted and respected her.


    At the same time, she was not satisfied with the somewhat melancholy look in her eyes that said, "Sam, you''re in trouble, too.


    Jonathan and Grace are not treated as guests, but as Sam''s fiancées like his own children, just like his daughter.


    The Earls of Walker are good people, after all.


    If this were any other family, they might have seen Hualien as Lise''s rival, but there was no such atmosphere in the Countess Walker family.


    While they were living like this, Günther appeared and said, "I should be treated as an equal!" Stella sent a letter from the palace saying, "I would like to live there too ......, but I don''t want to cause you any trouble, so I''ll just have to put up with it.


    She told us that although she continues to study, she has started to cut down on the amount of work she does and has started to leave her room more often.


    She seems to be actively meeting with her parents and spending more time with her family, which she had been holding back until now.


    Sam''s daily life has not changed much.


    He continues to train in the physical arts while flirting with Liese. Recently, Hualien has joined his training, and they have been meeting more and more often.


    In terms of simple body techniques, Sam was not as good as Hualien.


    Even if he used body enhancement magic, if Hualien used it as well, they were repeatedly defeated due to the difference in their physical skills.


    But even so, she did not judge Sam to be weaker than she was.


    With a sword, Liese and Hualien''s abilities were very close.


    Neither of them gave their best, but they always drew each other.


    If Liese could use seriousness and Karen could use magic seriously, the match would be settled, but neither of them had any intention to do so.


    Liese and Hanae have gotten to know each other quite well through their meetings.


    Sam also learned a lot from Hanae, who pointed out that he had been relying on magic power and gave him advice on how to improve, which helped him to grow one step more.


    After that, we learned physical techniques in the mornings, focusing on hand-to-hand combat, and in the afternoons, we trained in magic.


    In the evenings, we play with the dragon cubs and talk with Alicia about other things.


    At dinner time, he talked with Erika and Jonathan, and in the evening, he spent sweet moments with Liese.


    One day at noon, when I was quite satisfied with such a daily routine.


    Liese, who had finished her morning training and was wiping off her sweat, called out to Sam, who was out of breath.


    "Hey, Sam."


    "Yes."


    They sipped the cold lemon water that the maid had prepared for them, and Hualien handed them both glasses as well.


    As Sam thanked her and quenched her thirst, Lise continued.


    "I told you before that I was Kensei-sama''s disciple, didn''t I?"


    "Of course, I remember."


    We have heard before that Liese is a disciple of the <, who holds the title of being the best swordsman in the kingdom.


    Sam does not know how much of a person the Swordsman is, but he knows that Liese respects him.


    "Since you have been so kind to me, I would like to inform you of my engagement to Sam. He has been taking care of me for the past two years."


    Apparently, Kensei was concerned about the divorced Liese.


    If Sam remembers correctly, Lise''s ex-husband was also a disciple of Kensei''s like her.


    Maybe that''s why Kensei was so concerned about Liese.


    "Yes, he did. I think it''s a good thing. Then let''s go say hello to her.


    "Will you go with me, Sam?"


    "Of course. I''m the one who''s going to marry Liese-sama, so if I don''t go, who will?"


    "......Thank you."


    "I don''t think I''m supposed to thank you for that."


    (I thought it was an invitation to go and say hello, but I guess Liese-sama was planning to go alone?)


    "I want to go, too."


    "Hualien-sama?"


    "I have always been interested in the strength of the Kensei. I''d like to meet him if I can.


    Liese smiles at Karen, who raises her hand and says she wants to follow.


    "Well then, the three of us should go."


    "Hmm. Thanks."


    Hualien has decided to accompany him, but Sam wonders inwardly if it is really all right for her to go with him.


    (What would it be like to bring your fiancée and her blind date to a wedding to report your engagement?　Oh, but is it okay that Lady Karen is not my fiancée?　Huh?　(I don''t understand)


    After much deliberation, I decided not to worry about the details.


    Lise says it''s okay, so it must be okay.


    (I thought he was a sword saint or someone I had no chance to meet since I can''t use ...... sword, but I never expected to meet him in this way. I wonder what kind of person he is.)


    Sam was also interested in the person of Kensei, though not as much as Hualien.
