Reincarnated as a Farmer Gamer: Rising to the Top with the Evolution of the Weakest Job that Only I Know About!? - 55.1

By the time I left the training room, Lady Diana’s face had turned pale.

“Diana, try not to worry too much. It’s best to get stronger at your own pace.”

“Yeah…”

She is definitely worried about it.

I could have eased up a bit, but it would have been noticed anyway, and given that she wanted a one-on-one fight, it’s already a sign of defeat, isn’t it?

I met up with the young lady.

“…Hey, Beryl?”

“Yes?”

“Did you go too far?”

“Not at all— I just did as she wished. Besides, if I had eased up, she would have been hurt even more, wouldn’t she?”

“…Still, Beryl, you’re stronger than Diana.”

“Of course. After all, I’m the young lady’s knight.”

“I see.”

Lady Diana, who had been talking to Al, bowed deeply to him.

Could it be…

Al came over and whispered to me.

“Hey, Beryl.”

“I refuse!”

“Don’t refuse after seeing that face!”

“Ugh… Why don’t you do it, Al?”

“I can’t possibly beat her easily. Only you can, Beryl.”

“Tsk… I knew it would come to this, and I didn’t want it…”

“Please. My friend.”

“Alright, alright… I’ll do my best…”

At that evening’s dinner, Lady Diana was absent.

That night.

When Rin came over, we sat on a bench in the garden under the dark night sky.

I never thought I’d be using the garden so soon.

“Hey, Beryl. You went too far.”

“…I know.”

“We went through the trouble of pretending to lose so as not to provoke those people.”

“Yeah, well, that’s true.”

“It will soon reach the lord’s ears. It can’t be allowed.”

I understand what Rin is trying to say.

A normal noble daughter would attend many parties with her father. She would be introduced as his daughter, but the young lady doesn’t have such events.

To the lord, the young lady has always been a puppet, just a pawn. The daughter for the third son of the Kuzelia family.

“Hey, Rin. What do you think will happen next?”

“…The young lady will be forcibly returned. There will also be responsibility for the lady, and once the tax exemption for Beryl’s village is over, hell will await us. Rather… I think it would be good if it just ended there…”

“Yeah, that’s how it will be. But well… It’s the young lady’s decision. I’ll handle it somehow.”

“Are you out of your mind!? Do you understand what you’ve done and your current position!?”
