Loreleia participates in street dancing.

If you show it to the magicians who know her, you will be shocked.

This is Her Majesty the Shadow Queen of Britain, the First Lord of the Clock Tower. She should have afternoon tea in the castle or chat with the bigwigs in the classical conference center, but she should not be in the ordinary mall to participate in such a disgraceful event.

Of course, Her Majesty herself did not think so much about it and devoted herself to learning cultural forms that she had never been exposed to.

To be honest, Lorelea's dancing is clumsy, and she doesn't have the fluidity of magic at all, but this clumsiness is exactly what Shinji wants to see.

Mighty queen, perfect queen, he was tired of hearing such praise. Everyone took her strength and perfection for granted, but forgot that she was just a girl under twenty years old.

Ordinary girls are singing about youth at this age and enjoying the best years of life. But she is already at the pinnacle of the magic world, at the helm of the Magic Association.

Yes, this is a remarkable achievement, but it is also a heavy burden. Her high and cold image are indeed partly due to Barsermelo's education, but they are also indispensable to the persecution under this pressure.

She must be worthy of the name of Barsermero, she must be worthy of her lordship, and she must be worthy of the name of nobility.

So she can only be more careful and push herself more.

Shinji still remembers the first time he met Lorelea as a lord.

High?

Full of majesty?

The perfect queen?

Neither, he only felt a kind of indifference, inorganic indifference.

At that moment, he thought of Artoria, the figure who deliberately suppressed his emotions in order to fulfill his duties as king.

Although Loreleia is not so extreme, she has changed a lot compared to her before. At that time, she would explode because she used the wrong "kiss hand salute" and use the "storm shooter" to attack herself. Definitely not now, even if you feel dissatisfied, you won't vent in such a casual way.

This should be the expectation of Barsermelo and many aristocratic magicians, the rational master of the law and politics, the queen of the lonely high, and the magician at the peak.

But Shinji didn't want that.

At work, he doesn't want his boss to be too inhuman.

In life, he doesn't want his friends to drift away from him.

I finally met someone who has the right appetite, how can I leave it alone?

So as long as he has the opportunity, he will use various methods to touch Loreleia's humanity, even if it is to make her angry, even if it is beaten by her, it is better than sitting there with a cold face.

Maybe one day, she will become the so-called ideal queen, but at least in the best time of her life, she will not be overwhelmed by magic, work, and aristocracy.

Today's event was part of that, and thanks to the popular Danish dancer, the results were surprisingly good.

After casually finding a chance to sneak out of the crowd, Shinji asked Lorelea.

"How does it feel?"

"There were too many people, and it was a little uncomfortable, but — not bad. ”

It is enough to have this sentence, this is what a girl of her age should look like.

I thought so, but Shinji didn't say that.

"Isn't it because you're too stiff?"

"Hmph, it's not that you have to pull me in, I can't even say I can't go. ”

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't expect you to be so clumsy. ”

Hearing this, Loreleia's expression immediately turned cold. Considering that this is a downtown area and it is inconvenient to do it, she chooses another way to vent.

"Go back, it was a mistake for me to come out with you today. ”

"No, I was wrong, I can't do it. ”

Shinji lowered his posture instantly, but Loreley Lea already had immunity to this move.

"I'm tired of hearing this kind of insincere apology. ”

"Then what do you want me to do. ”

"Don't you do anything, I'll go back alone - what are you going to do!"

As he spoke, Shinji suddenly took Loreleia's hand and dodged into a dark corner.

"Don't talk, don't be found out by them. ”

"They? hey, that's—"

It turned out that behind the two of them, I don't know when there was an extra man and a woman, the man was older, and the woman was younger, all of whom were acquaintances.

"—Professor Velvett and Miss Leenys, why are they here?"

"Because Webb buys everything except his suit and shirt. He is actually a person who is very afraid of trouble, and it is more convenient to buy ready-to-wear clothes directly than to customize. Rhaenys probably came with Webb, who always said he had no taste in it. ”

"I see. But why are we hiding?"

"Do you think you're the right person to see them?"

“……”

Only then did Loreleia react that she was not wearing a lord's dress, but a very ordinary casual dress. This way they can see the image they have always maintained......

"It's all your fault. ”

"You just said it wasn't bad. ”

"Hmm, you still say!" Loreleya was so angry, the magic power in her body began to accelerate, gathering her fingertips to construct the "Storm Shooter" technique.

Seeing this, Shinji hurriedly held her other hand as well, and said in a low voice: "Calm down, my eldest lady, isn't it obvious that you are using magic tricks here to tell them that there is a problem, and you don't know Weber's eyesight." ”

Loreleia was startled, and hurriedly dispersed the spell and gathered her magic power: "Then what should I do?"

"Let's go, let's change places. ”

"Where to go?"

"The Lajère trail, right on the Rhine, not far from here. Great place I found last time I looked at the apartment with Webb, the view was quite nice. Halfway through Hyde Park, we can take a walk, see the scenery, and have a lake dinner together. ”

Loreleia didn't refuse in the end: "Okay, but next time you want to accompany me to hunt vampires, don't take the one with you!"

"Okay, that's a deal. Webb: They're in the mall, let's go, Lorelea. ”

Hearing this familiar name, the girl sighed softly.

Lorelea ...... It's been a long time since I became Barthomero, and no one has called me by that name. ”

"But you're not Barthomero today, just Lorelea, an ordinary girl. ”

"yes. ”

"Don't like it?"

"No, how could it be. ”

……

"Lorelea. ”

"What?"

"It's nothing, I just want to call you by your name. ”

"Lorelea. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Lorelea. ”

"Don't, don't scream. The continuous calls made her a little embarrassed.

"Because I think it's a nice name, I'll keep calling you that way from now on, when there's no one else. ”

"Ahh ”

The girl lowered her head and her cheeks flushed.

The boy squinted and smiled softly.

What a great day, isn't it?
