You didn't expect this, did you? I've time-traveled again!

This morning he experienced the wake-up service provided by a charming maid. Although it was just Ram alone, he was still very satisfied.

However, what happened next made him a little unhappy.

"Guest, it's not a good habit to always stay in bed. You should get up."

Although Ram spoke very respectfully, her expression was one of disgust, as if Suoh Takeshi, who had delayed her from tidying up the room, was a great villain.

“I’m telling you, Ram.”

"What's wrong, you lazy guest?"

"How is this going?"

Suoh Takeshi pointed to the neatly folded white clothes placed beside the bed and asked, "Why did you prepare these clothes for me?!"

Unfold the white formal suit laid out in front of him; its style, texture, and comfort were all the best in the Earl's mansion.

but!

Is that a knight's formal attire?!

right!

No matter how you look at it, this outfit is the formal attire of the Knights of Zero!

"Oh dear, has the guest's eye suddenly gone malfunctioned? Can't you even see the knight's uniform?"

Ram's sharp tongue relentlessly lashed out at Suoh Takeshi, and then said with a displeased tone, "This was specially prepared for you by Lord Roswaal, so you should accept it with gratitude."

""

Suoh Takeshi was having a hard time accepting her drastic change in attitude.

Ever since Suoh Takeru declared at the dinner table yesterday that he wanted to duel with Roswaal, and both of them returned home battered and bruised last night, her attitude towards Suoh Takeru has taken a sharp turn for the worse, becoming extremely unfriendly.

Although Ram was already known for her sharp tongue, she's become even more sarcastic now!

Suoh Takeshi believes that, to a large extent, it was because he caused Roswaal's injury.

Honestly, that's so petty.

Although he was also at fault.

But Suoh Takeshi still made one last attempt, asking, "I'm not a knight appointed by the kingdom. Wouldn't people criticize me for wearing a knight's uniform? This is the best evidence to attack Roswaal. Won't it leave someone with something to hold against me?"

really.

Ram, who was loyal to Roswaal, tensed up upon hearing this, but she still decided to obey her master.

"Ram doesn't think someone like Wu is qualified to be a knight either, but..."

With his usual sarcastic remark, he added with unwavering loyalty, "But this is Lord Roswaal's arrangement, and Ram just needs to follow it."

""

It seems that persuasion has been unsuccessful.

Damn!

We've been tricked!

Roswaal, you tricked me!

At this moment, Suoh Takeo finally realized just how deep the schemes of this 400-year-old monster were!

yesterday.

During their friendly sparring session, Roswaal suggested that he take on Emilia's currently vacant position as her knight guard and asked him to think it over carefully.

On the surface, they said they admired his abilities and hoped he could assist Emilia.

However, Suoh Takeshi suspected that Roswaal was merely following the instructions of the Book of Wisdom Youth Edition and wanted to keep him around.

Subaru Natsuki is already Roswaal's servant, so there's absolutely no need to worry about him.

But I am different.

His demand was to duel Roswaal once.

Once the goal is achieved, will you stay or choose to leave?

Roswaal was certainly unsure of his next move.

Simply!

Using the excuse of having her serve as Emilia's bodyguard, she can keep herself by her side!

She had been declining the offer, indicating that she had no intention of becoming Emilia's knight.

So Roswaal played a little trick during the duel, deliberately burning all his clothes and preparing a brand new knight's suit for himself.

"What's wrong, guest? Would you like Ram to help you get dressed?"

Ram picked up the knight's uniform, shook it, and said, "What a spoiled child. Oh well, Ram will reluctantly help you get dressed. Come on!"

Hey, wait a minute!

What's with this tone of voice used to coax a child?

"Ugh"

Suoh Takeshi couldn't help but sigh.

Roswaal, without a second thought, just threw the knight's outfit over.

The implication is that there are only two choices: either wear it or go naked.

But once he puts it on, the end result will inevitably be that he becomes Emilia's knight.

Really.

Raising an immature son is already exhausting enough, and now you're burdening yourself with a naive and innocent daughter?

Is this some kind of real-life parenting game?

I'm only 20 years old!

I don't have a girlfriend yet!

Suoh Takeshi was extremely conflicted.

"Guest, while going naked is a form of performance art, it's best not to do it in the Earl's mansion, as it will lower Lord Roswaal's public image."

Seeing Suoh Takeshi's conflicted expression, Ram secretly smiled, but her words were sharp and sarcastic as she urged him on.

"Besides, Lady Emilia will get styes."

""

"You'll get a sty."

She repeated it twice.

I just don't know if she was talking about Emilia or herself this time.

"I know, I know, I'll wear it, okay?"

Since that was the case, Suoh Takeshi had no choice but to put it on.

Roswaal, I'm going to add two dark circles to your clown makeup!

While secretly resolving to teach Roswaal a lesson, she prepared to get up and change her clothes.

But just as he was about to change his clothes, he noticed that Ram was still standing there.

"Um, Ram, I need to change my clothes."

"Oh, really?"

Ram replied coldly, but made no move to leave.

Left with no other choice, Suoh Takeshi repeated, "Um, I need to change my clothes."

"What's wrong? Do you want Ram to help you change your clothes? Sure."

Ram made a move to help him put on his clothes.

That's not what I meant!

Suoh Takeshi said with a slight embarrassment, "I'm very shy with someone watching me!"

"Ah, is that so? Then please pretend Ram isn't here."

Ram also sensed that Suoh Takeshi wanted her to leave, but she remained unmoved.

He simply closed his eyes slightly, pretending not to see.

I suspect you have feelings for me, and I even have evidence!

Forget it.

As a man, Suoh Takeshi wasn't too flustered with a woman watching him; he was just a little embarrassed.

If she wants to watch, then let her watch.

There won’t be any missing pieces of meat.

Suoh Takeshi quickly took off his pajamas and prepared to change into his knight's uniform.

But

why?

Why does this seemingly simple and plain knight's outfit have so many buttons inside?!

He couldn't fasten the complicated and numerous buttons properly, and ended up sweating profusely from his frantic efforts.

"hehe."

Ram's laughter was so soft it was almost inaudible, but Suoh Takeshi, with his exceptional hearing, still heard it.

It was a little awkward.

Finally, Ram slowly stepped forward and gently helped him tidy up.

It seems that her initial goal was to help Suoh Takeshi successfully change into the knight's uniform.

I'm sorry, Ram, I misunderstood you.
