In the Ehren marquises, Ehrenar City.

In the market section, can be seen two people walking in the stream of people who passed by. It is Yoro and Chad who has done their shopping in this place, and right now, they are in the way going home.

Yoro: "Hey Chad, do you know when my sword teacher will be back?" He asks while walking beside badly who is his head guard in the mansion

Chad there, as intimidating as always, keeping stern stare at everyone who passed them, making them afraid to even look at his foot.

Chad: "I ain't know, why don't you ask your father when he has got home, young master?" Chad replies while walking beside him with two shopping bag in both of his hands.

Yoro, hearing Chad reply, is wondering if this big guy can accompany him as a sparring partner in swords. "Hey Chad, would you like to be my partner tomorrow?"

Chad who heard his young master words, have a shocked expression right now, "Umm... I am sorry young master, but I would like to have an adult as my partner, a woman especially"

Yoro: "not as my life partner, darn it! but as my sparring partner!" He snaps at him while feeling deja vu in his heart.

Chad: "hmm, maybe if I have time, I'll tell you later if I am available," Chad said as they exited to a wider road.

While waiting for a coachman, Yoro suddenly speaks again "Hmm, I was wondering, Chad. How you even got to be our head guards in the first place"

Chad: "As a guard? Hmm... Well, at first, I was just a peasant who attends the academy" seeing a free coachman, he signalling with his hand for him to stop. Stepping inside, he sits at one of the seats available while Yoro sitting at the opposite one.

Yoro: "then, my father recruits you?" He said with interest can be heard in his tone

Chad: "well, it is not really that simple you know? When a noble recruit people to their side, especially a peasant, he can't just choose them randomly" he said while folding his arms and close his eyes

Yoro: "Can't have them spying on you, right?" He states to completes Chad sentence.

Hearing his words, Chad nodded as a response and open one of his eyes to stare at the kid in front of him, 'Lord Ehren son is really smart though. I wonder if I ever have a kid like that in the future"

And that way, they arrived at the mansion. Their way to the mansion is uneventful and quite boring. So when they had arrived, Chad immediately back to his duty as a guard while Yoro walking through the corridor to find Cecilia.

When he sees one of the mansion maids in front of him, he wants to ask where is she. But just as he opened his lips-

*Crash*

Yoro: "Ce-Cecilia, y-you are heavy-" already knowing who tackle him down, he pleaded her to get off him. Even if his hand can hold a sword properly, the body mass of a person older than him is another matter.

Cecilia: "mou, you are so rude, young master. You shouldn't call a girl heavy, or she will be mad at you" she said with a pout in her cheeks.

But Yoro who still bellow her doesn't care about that thing right now. "W-whatever, just get off me!" Feeling tormented, he raised his tone a bit at her.

Realize her young master really in pain right now, she quickly apologizes "eh, I am sorry young master, I may a little too harsh"

Yoro: 'little your ass!' cursing in his mind, he suggested at her "hmm... If you want to greet me, I more prefered a hug than tackled to the ground by you" he said with a wondering expression

Cecilia there, hearing what he said making an o with her mouth before she nodded her head "I understand! Young master is more prefer chest than le-"

Yoro: "B- by the way Cecilia, I brought a gift for you when I went to the market" he quickly interrupted her to changed the topic as the conversation went to the inappropriate way.

Cecilia: "really?!" Her eyes turn starry when Yoro pull out a little bundle from inside of his pocket. "Whoa...i am really-reaaaally grateful, Young Master," she said sincerely while smiling happily at him

Hearing what she said, he smiled bitterly "You haven't even see what I bought for you though" as he put the bundle at her hands, he added "open it when you are alone, okay?" When he sees her nodding, he backs up slowly, just to be frozen by her statement.

Cecilia: "Alright, but you must know this, young master. That everything and anything you bought for me is precious. Even if it's cheaper than most of the thing in the world and in the eyes of others. For me, it is more precious than brightest and rarest gemstone available in the universe" she said that with the brightest smile she can muster.

Hearing her word, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. Widening his eyes, Yoro can't help but feel shame in front of that bright smile of her, so he feigns his embarrassment by stating "Cecilia, you are teasing me again" he said while turning his head to the side.

Cecilia: "no, I am not! What I said before is true!" she said while she clenches her fist in front of her chest to show her seriousness

Yoro: "yeah yeah, whatever. I must prepare myself and be ready for the dinner, you must do it too, Cecilia" he said and turn his body to escape this pink atmosphere and hide his embarrassment from her.

Cecilia: "mou, why are you not hearing me!" Hearing her rumbling, he just walks away and wave his hand to signal he understands. All while Cecilia just standing there, staring off at where her young master at even after he was long gone.

And then, she lowers her brown bangs until her eyes can't be seen. "young master, if you continue being like this, you must take responsibilities for what you have done with my heart...or otherwise, I will chase you wherever you went... even to another side of this world" she mutter to no one in particular in that empty corridor...

==================

The sky was turned black after the sun has set. Inside the marquis's mansion, Yoro can be seen preparing for the dinner which will be held out in the hall of this mansion itself.

Yoro: "Umm, Bella-san, this is a bit tight for my convenience..." Yoro complained while holding the collar that set to tight in his neck.

Bella: "but this is the general norm when you wearing formal clothes like this. You have to hold in as you are the son of a great Marquis Ehner" Bella said while combing his hair to look neat enough in the dinner.

Yoro: "but this is a personal event! Can't we have a loose or two in this one? I may die in the middle of dinner because having out of breath!" He voices out his unsatisfactory while Bella continue doing her job

Bella: "fufufu, you are so funny, young master. But there is indeed one of those happened in the past" Bella said while holding out one of her hands to cover her smiling mouth.

Yoro: "are you serious?! It is not funny at all, dammit. I don't want to die while I am this young! By ridiculous reason on top of that!" He shivers involuntarily as he hears Bellas word, just to realize he is being played at, by her.

Yoro: "ha-ha so funny, Bella-san," he said with an annoyed tone as Bella loosen his collar a bit so he can breathe freely.

Looking in the mirror, he mutters to himself "hmm... wow... I don't realize it before, but this sure is one hella pretty face" touching his cheek while he turns his head right and left, he believed his face will grow more handsome than what he had in the earth before. While his feature may not change much, he feels his face somehow being perfected to another level.

Yoro: "saving my remaining points at the time is really worth it," he said with satisfaction drips out of his voice.

Bella: "hmm? What point are you talking about, young master?" Just to realize he voice it out loud.

Yoro: "No, no, it is nothing Bella-san. Just forget what you heard before" he responds immediately to her question, all while he can't wait to use his cheat ability soon...
