Then one afternoon, the library door opened and he heard an unfamiliar boy�s voice.

�Haah� That old man. On a day like this, who cares if I rest a bit.�

Shirone blinked as an uninvited guest had made a sudden appearance.

�That person is��

It was Rian Ogent, the youngest son of the Lord.

Having the blood of a mighty knight, he had a masculine, rugged face, and even though they were the same age, he was a head taller than Shirone.

Shirone�s train of thought was suddenly interrupted by a shout coming from outside the library.

�Rian! How dare you run away! Once I catch you, you�ll be made to run another hundred laps!�

�Argh! Damn it!�

Rian, who was running between the bookshelves, finally found Shirone.

Rian, who was running towards Shirone, grabbed Shirone�s shoulders suddenly and said.

�Hey! Don�t tell him I�m here, okay?�

Then, whilst he hid himself under the bookshelf, an old man�s thunderous roar shook the library.

�Rian! I know you�re hiding here!�

Although he was a gray-haired old man, his shoulders were wide. He was also tall enough to remind Shirone of a giant.

�You! A boy as tall as a peanut with blue hair came in here, right?�

Shirone thought about it.

He did know the blue-haired boy, but if the blue-haired boy was the size of a peanut, what did he look like in the eyes of this old man?

�From what I saw, he looked like the youngest young master. But excuse me, who are you?�

Shirone intended to change the subject, but the veteran saw through the boy�s mind.

�I�m a swordsman instructor! I�m saying that I�m the teacher who has the right to beat up that peanut. You�d better tell me quickly, unless you wanna get beat up.�

Shirone pursed his lips.

Anyone who taught the young master under the orders of the Lord was not a person who could get fooled by the words of a boy.

�Oh, I see. The youngest young master is hiding under that bookshelf over there.�

�Hey! Are you crazy? You wanna die?�

Rian crawled out with a frown.

Then, he discovered his swordsman instructor, who came up close to him. He started to tremble in fear.

�Master! This is a misunderstanding!�

�You rascal!�

The swordsman grabbed Rian by the collar and threw him to the ground. JrNovels.com
