"Pardon?" "While the capital is relatively safe, problems can arise when it's this crowded." Ethan's words were sharp and weighty. Kana inwardly admired this as she answered with a smile. "Ah, it's fine. I'm familiar with the streets and I have the strength to protect myself. Besides, security is tighter than usual during the Foundation Festival period." "I see." "Of course, as Duke Cardium said, it's necessary to be careful in case of unforeseen situations." "Right." Ethan nodded and…-

CHAPTER 8. Foundation Festival "Why are you so surprised? Didn't you hear anything specific during the process of contracting with spirits?" "No. I was just told that it seemed to suit me well." Kana spoke truthfully and smiled awkwardly. Liriel, not being a spirit summoner herself, brushed it off. "Well, I suppose that's possible. And Kiriel, as you can see, the results are fine... You'll have to discard your hypothesis." "Yes." Kiriel, who had been a bit gloomy, actually calmed down…

'...What timing.' Kana felt dizzy. It was bad enough to be pickpocketed while relaxing, but the people she encountered were also quite remarkable. Letie, breathing heavily, asked with difficulty in a broken voice. "What… happened… here?" "Well, actually, Miss Evie and I were pickpocketed..." "Ah, me too!" Letie empathized vehemently in a shrill voice. Meanwhile, Kiriel alternated his gaze between the boy caught by another mage and the one held by Kana, then lightly flicked his…

Kana's eyes widened. Tomorrow, the focus was supposed to return to Letie and Richard, with Kiriel only appearing briefly later to handle the aftermath when an incident occurs. 'Hmm, it would be troublesome if Kiriel interferes with the female and male leads' scene. Should I accept his offer and keep him occupied instead?' While Kana was weighing the situation in her mind, Kiriel emphasized with sparkling eyes. "Yes, if I want to monopolize Miss Kana's day, I'll make time even if I don't have…

"What is it?" "To put it simply, I'd like to offer some advice and help to the Master of the Magic Tower, and in turn, I'd like to receive help from you when needed." Kiriel's eyes narrowed at Letie's words. "Elaborate." "As you know, I have quite a few enemies around me. Today, I almost fell victim to a curse." "Ah, Lady Cordelia Serade?" "That's right. As you might have guessed from the fact that healing abilities didn't work properly, she threw a curse at me, and I…

They walked around the area briefly before slipping through the gaps between the gathered characters to exit the central plaza. Surprisingly, there was hardly any feeling of congestion. Kana glanced at Kiriel, who was lightly moving his hand. "Did you use magic?" "Yes." "I thought it felt surprisingly comfortable. It was thanks to you, Lord Kiriel. Thank you for your consideration." "It's nothing." Kiriel brushed it off as if it were a matter of course. Even while under his protection,…

"No. The only person I'm acquainted with from the Serade family is Lady Letie." Kana firmly denied, shaking her head. Cordelia was on the opposite side, and Dain was never in her consideration from the start. Kiriel inwardly felt relieved but wanted to confirm once more, so he probed her gently. "Really? You're not... interested in him or anything?" "No, I actually find him a bit uncomfortable. Our first meeting wasn't great, and we've clashed over trivial matters every time we've met." Kana…

Not long after, a refreshing energy enveloped her body. Kana's eyes curved gently as her mood naturally improved. "It feels nice. Thank you for bringing me to such a wonderful place." "It's nothing. Come here and sit down." Kiriel, who had already spread a blanket on the ground, gestured towards her. As Kana sat beside him, he took out a moderately thick shawl from his spatial storage and wrapped it around her. Kana was a bit surprised. "When did you prepare the shawl?" "I always had it.…

"T-This is..." "It means exactly what it says." His eyes were resolute, but Kana was considerably shaken. It was brief, but the content was intense. 'Like? Is that something a sub male lead would say to a background supporting character?' Even if you try to interpret it differently, considering the atmosphere, it was nothing short of a confession. Kana tried to gather her thoughts and asked for confirmation. "Surely you don't mean 'like' in a romantic sense, do you?" "...Yes, I…

"...Could it be that you're asking for a hug?" "Yes, that's right." Kiriel nodded, smiling brightly. The refreshing and clear smile on his handsome face seemed far from his supposed prickly setting. Kana struggled to gather her scattered thoughts and managed to speak. "Um, would that be helpful for you, Lord Kiriel?" "Of course. It gives me strength." "...I see." She fell into contemplation as she looked at him, his eyes twinkling with inner expectation. 'Hmm, since he'll be working…
