Another new member of the Ark harem? But no matter how you put it, she has to be too young for this. I never thought Ark had lolicon vibes.

I forcibly suppressed the frivolous remark that was about to escape my lips.

No, I mustn’t say it yet. My head would go flying if I said that in front of Lord Gladis’s daughter. Even though Ark and I got along quite well and exchanged lighthearted banters, I’d just met Lady Gladis after all.

But it’d been Marquess Sandrine, a noble with a moderate stance towards hunters, who’d summoned Ark. How did he end up bringing back Lord Gladis’s daughter? ...Though I suppose this was still better than him bringing back the head of the House of Gladis.

Hearing Ark’s words, Lady Éclair widened her eyes and began sizing me up from head to toe.

“You...are the Thousand Tricks? My father has spoken of you at length.”

Her words and attitude were grandiose, but her high-pitched voice was that of a child.

Even I wasn’t scared of a child and her words. Though I was more concerned about Liz.

As the expressions on the guardian knights around her stiffened, Lady Éclair continued in a brisk tone, “As my father reckoned, you’re surprisingly weak, contrary to expectations. It strains credulity that you’re a hunter surpassing Ark Rodin here.”

“...”

“The Explorers’ Association has fallen so low. Did you buy your rank with coins? You vile hunter, you ought to feel ashamed.”

“...”

“Are you not to say a word in response to all my assertions? Have you not an inkling of pride?”

For some reason, the young lady took a step back and looked at me with an expression as if she’d seen something uncanny.

Tino flinched in my arms, but I ignored her.

I resumed the breath that I’d been holding and, trying not to sound disrespectful, said in a calm voice, “I was raised poorly, and my manners are lacking. I try to be discreet in my speech as much as I can.”

“Wha—?! Um...uh...” stuttered Lady Éclair as she looked around as if the wind was taken out of her sails. Then, clearing her throat lightly but firmly, she continued, “M-Mhmm. Th-That’s a good policy to have when presumptuously associating with your betters.”

I had nothing to gain from offending nobles: I wasn’t in a position to reap benefits behind the shield of authority. And, as the young lady had said, since I had no pride, I’d go down in a kowtow if it could get me out of this.

...I wonder if she’ll lend me money if I kowtow.

“My lady, it’s about time,” whispered a genteel senior man standing by at the entrance to Lady Éclair.

The man was dressed in a butler’s outfit that was black from head to toe. He was most likely her chaperone.

“Y-Yes, quite right!”

Probably relieved by the excuse to depart, Lady Éclair looked up at Ark enthusiastically.

“Very well, Ark, we shall meet again. Should your path lead you to Gladis’s domain, just send word to our estate. Train me in the ways
