chapter 7

Nowgun: Okay, okay, I'm lost in a garden. What a great situation. Nowgun sighs. "When will I understand that I don't have to act rashly?"
Suddenly, an unknown person with white hair and light purple eyes comes carrying Nowgun the bunny and says gently,
"Looks like one of the bunnies ran away"

Nowgun speaks to herself: ('And they ask me who is watching me lovingly?' I say bad luck.)

Elsewhere, after Penelope has taken Kano out of the meeting room and they are now walking in the garden, Kano speaks and says in a friendly tone: "It's nice to walk together, Your Highness Princess Eckart. My name is Krestaly Dainsleaf. You can call me Kano without formality."
Penelope's eyes widen in surprise and she says to herself: ('it's strange how she's taking comfortably to me.')
Penelope responds with a little coldness in her tone: "I prefer you to call me Penelope. I'm honored to meet you, Princess Dainsleaf."
Kano responds spontaneously: "Thank you very much. I would have died of anxiety if you hadn't intervened."
Penelope lets out a cold, stifled laugh and says: "Really?" It seems I saved you.
As Kano nods, Penelope talks to herself.
('She's the exact opposite of the rumors. She's not silver, and she's not arrogant, but maybe she's just pretending.')
Suddenly, Kano asks, "Excuse me, but did you see a rabbit hovering around here? It has white fur, golden eyes, and a purple ribbon. I hope it's not hurt."
Before Penelope can reply, Kano sees in the distance a tall figure with silver hair and shimmering violet eyes. Nowgun is over his shoulder.
He approaches and says in a gentle, friendly tone, "Good morning, my lady."
Kano opens her arms to Nowgun and says, "Nowgun! Come here... Where have you been?"

Nowgun responds and jumps into Kano's arms. The man asks, "Is she yours, miss?"
Kano replies, "Yes,  Thank you for your concern, sir."

Winter: "Marquis Verdandi  at your service, miss. You may call me Winter."
Kano answers in a respectful tone, "It is an honor to meet you. I am Krestaly Dainslev."

Winter: "Please excuse me for going to meet the Dukes."

Kano says, "May you be well, Mr. Winter." Her eyes widen as she thinks, "Huh? The percentage... has gone up!" Penelope, meanwhile, is lost in thought, saying, "The Marquis and magician Verdandi, a maniacal figure who hides his identity and runs a castle and trades various secret information, is the one who brought Yvonne for Penelope's birthday. He is a polite person and has not held back from helping." Yvonne is a cat. If it weren't for him, Yvonne's reputation wouldn't have risen. It might be better to court him among the other targets. Then, if Kano was the one who introduced Yvonne to noble society, it would be better to get close to Kano. If I can't get one of the targets to fall in love with me before my coming-of-age ceremony and Yvonne's appearance, it would be a good idea to ask her to help hide me.') Penelope's thoughts are interrupted by a long sigh, then she returns to talking to herself, saying, 'I'm not supposed to trust Kano on first meeting, but she seems like the type to help people when needed.') Suddenly, the two princesses hear someone approaching, saying angrily, 'You idiot, you're hanging around here, and I'm looking for you.'

Penelope is annoyed by his actions and replies, 'What's up, Reynold ? I'm busy.' Leonard replies, threading his fingers and ruffling his pink hair, speaking with annoyance,
'I'm here to talk about the tramp you brought to the duchy recently.' Penelope replies sarcastically, 'What's up with him? Don't you like him? How about you stop acting like an idiot in front of Our guest
Reynold responded sarcastically: “Huh, and who is this guest?” Suddenly, Reynold hesitated a little, his cheeks slowly turning red as he shouted, pointing at Kano: “You… you malicious, , what the hell are you doing here?”
Penelope hit Reynold on the back of his neck, admonishing him: “Behave in front of the guests”
Leonard left angrily, and Kano noticed the favorability meter that had risen from zero percent to five percent. Kano looked at strangely .
