The Debutante Ball's Dangers
..? Why are you looking at me with such eyes, young master?
As usual, when I came to pick up Kyle, he was staring at me with strange eyes.
Louise beside me was also looking at me with the eyes of someone seeing a strange person.
I wonder what was discussed in class that made both of them look at me like this.
"Nothing."
"...?"
"...?"
Without saying anything else, I left the classroom like that.
Louise said she had to organize and stayed in the classroom.
"Young master, since the debutante ball is not far away, it would be better not to do anything dangerous for a while."
"Yes."
"It would be better to rest for a while instead of doing swordsmanship classes, as it might be better to avoid getting hurt."
"Of course."
"For the next few days, besides a little dance class, there probably won't be anything else. If you think there's something you're lacking, please let me know."
My thought is that I've learned enough now, but Kyle might feel that something is slightly lacking for him.
The debutante ball is such an important event, so it would be good to prepare as close to perfect as possible.
Of course, since people are people, it won't be perfectly perfect, but.
"Yes."
"...."
"Young master, why are you like this?"
"Is this really a class...?"
"Of course it is."
Obviously this is a class.
Anyone can see it's a class.
It's also what most female nobles do, and Kyle needs to be careful.
The reasons why male nobles fail are divided into three: mouth, hands, and lower body.
These three things cause all males, including nobles, to fail.
It goes without saying that one must be careful with words.
The mouth is the most important in all human relationships.
And hands, one could also fail by mishandling them.
And finally, the lower body.
It was really dangerous.
There are many stories of men who failed by getting a woman pregnant.
Of course, it's natural for a man to affect a woman.
At the genetic level.
Just exchanging a glance and smiling a little makes a man unable to sleep that day.
Such a man becomes even weaker when drunk.
And if he makes a mistake in one night, he could ruin his entire life.
I hoped that Kyle wouldn't make such a mistake.
"You shouldn't easily let yourself be carried away by rubbing bodies closely at the party."
"I know that, but..."
"Even if you know, it's dangerous."
From my adventurer days, I had seen many guys who drank with colleagues and had their relationships change the next day.
"Even if you know, it's what men suffer."
"...Even so, do I have to rub bodies like this...?"
"If I don't do that, how will I resist the women who try to seduce the young master?"
"...."
While pressing my chest against Kyle's back.
Although not as young as children, it should be enough for him to adapt to some extent.
"You need to get used to this kind of thing. You might find it difficult when drinking, but you need to get used to it. Like this."
I moved my body from behind and stood in front of Kyle.
And I said while facing one of Kyle's hands with my hand.
"Oh my, young master, your hands are surprisingly big, aren't they?"
"Yes...?"
"How about comparing it with my hand?"
"..."
By saying that, there will be young ladies who try to do skinship with the young master subtly.
What should you do then?"
"...Thank you..?"
"...."
It's not something that can be easily dealt with.
Men should also have some walls.
"It's not that. You have to say no. Do you understand?"
"Yes..."
Even in class, it was easy to pass, so how on earth will I protect my lower body at the real party... I really started to worry.
Really...
"Young master, and while holding the glass with one hand, suddenly coming to the side like this."
Standing next to Kyle.
And crossing arms with one of Kyle's arms.
"Even if you try to refuse such arm crossing, you have to. Do you understand?"
Women really rub their chests like that with men.
Well, since men like those chests, it's the easiest way.
"Or like this, while lightly touching the young master's arm and saying, Oh my, young master... Your muscles are quite impressive. I'm not a body that easily gains muscle..."
It's not that my body doesn't gain muscle, it's just that I don't exercise, but I have to say it like that.
Usually, I touch arm muscles.
But in some cases, I lightly poke chest muscles.
Of course, for noble young ladies, they won't poke the chest.
"I'm so envious..."
"....."
"You shouldn't be seduced by saying things like this either. Do you understand?"
"Yes..."
And there's another important thing.
It's not really a man's fault, but asking for help from a man.
While deliberately asking the man for help, subtly creating the next appointment.
It was really dangerous.
Of course, since they are nobles, it would be an official schedule, but still dangerous.
After spending time with a girl from the territory and having dinner, saying thank you, then having a little alcohol?
"Young master.... Tonight is too scary because of the darkness..."
By saying that, subtly creating private time at night.
"And subtly getting a little drunk on alcohol and getting a little tipsy from the night atmosphere, you might mix bodies a little. Even if it's a place where socializing is done, you must never easily make appointments with women."
"....Yes..."
"Your answer lacks strength. Answer properly."
"Yes."
"Hmph..."
Still worried.
It's a good thing that Kyle meets a good woman, but meeting any woman is not a good thing.
Originally, if it's a really good woman, she doesn't form a relationship overnight.
After slowly and very slowly building the relationship, confirming feelings, confirming love, and loving each other is good.
She's not a loose woman, and there's no way she would fall in love in one day.
"It's a celebratory thing that the young master meets a good woman. But I oppose the young master meeting a woman who is loose, who spreads money, and whose rear is dirty."
"Yes..."
"And if suddenly a woman who was talking for a moment says it's too hot outside and suggests going out, don't go. There's definitely another scheme."
"Yes......"
By continuing to explain to Kyle about women's tails, like this.
Although it seems like I wasn't concentrating properly in today's class, I believed I would be strong in real life.
There's no way Kyle would suddenly mix with a woman he just met.
There's no way...
"Young master, is it okay to believe?"
"Yes, you can believe."
Yeah, since I said you can believe, you shouldn't not believe.
After all, I'll follow, but Kyle will handle it well on his own.
Probably.

Clack clack clack...
Leaving Eristyrol in a carriage.
Already left the Eristyrol territory itself and at the border with other regions.
"Huu..."
It was really very uncomfortable.
It was a carriage I had ridden a lot even in my adventurer days.
Of course, it's not comparable to the carriages I rode back then, but it was inevitable that it was uncomfortable.
"Young master."
"Yes?"
"It seems like we should stay at the inn today. Is that okay?"
"Of course. I can endure a slightly uncomfortable bed."
"I see. I'm glad."
We had been running hard all day towards the capital, but we wouldn't reach the capital.
The distance between Eristyrol and the capital is far.
Probably, at this speed, it would take at least a week.
Since it took a day to leave the Eristyrol territory, it would be like that.
"Is it okay to book only one room? Of course, I'll book two beds."
Originally, I should have come with many servants, but in the carriage, it was just me and Kyle.
It was because Kyle had refused that the other servants would follow.
That's why there was no one to protect Kyle, so to protect Kyle from any threat, I had to stick close to Kyle.
That's why we booked one room.
"....One?"
"Yes."
Still, since there are two beds, it should be fine.
With two beds, there probably won't be any discomfort.
"...I guess there's no choice."
"Yes."
Kyle didn't get angry at all, as if he knew this fact.
Of course, there was no reason to get angry at me who had lived since childhood.
"Then, let's rest in the village for now."
I said that and told the coachman to stop here for now.
Since there was still time before the debutante ball started, it was okay to go slowly.
There was no need to damage our bodies and horses' health.
It was enough to go slowly while resting.
"Um.... This inn isn't bad."
"Is that so...?"
For Kyle who had lived all his life in the Eristyrol castle, it might not look good, but this was average as an inn.
In my adventurer days, I had seen inns worse than this.
There were condoms left on the bed sheets, and leftover condoms in the drawer, and condoms left in the bathroom inside the room.
Thanks to that, it was so shitty that I beat the innkeeper to death.
"....."
Thinking about that time, I suddenly got angry.
I really didn't want to go there again.
"Young master, after eating dinner today, let's bathe. Um..."
I pondered for a moment.
Normally, Kyle bathed with the help of bath attendants.
But today, from now on, even after arriving at the capital, there would be no bath attendants for Kyle.
I would have to do it.
"After dinner, I will help you with the bath."
"Ha..."
"If you don't like it, there's no choice. There are no other attendants."
The reason was because Kyle had told me not to follow.
"There's no choice. Until we return to the castle, I will help you with the bath."
Compared to real bath attendants, it would be lacking, but I could still do the act of bathing well.
Probably?
