Leold, who had been in agony from being poked in the eyes, finally revived and the three returned to his office.

 Sylvia returned to her seat in the office, and Leold also took his seat and handed Isabelle a letter to the Duke of Flugel.

'Well, then, I'm counting on you."

"I'm at your service."

 Isabelle bows to Leold and then leaves the office.

 Leold looks over the documents on the desk and stamps them with his seal.

 It is a simple task, but the number of documents has accumulated as much as Leordo has been slacking off.

 It's a lot of work, but it's a lot easier than it was in the past. This is all thanks to Sylvia.

"Leold-sama. How about this venue for the reception?"

 Sylvia approaches Leold with a map of the Zeat area.

 Sylvia pointed to the points she had already picked out and circled in red, and asked Leordo.

"Which one?'

 Leold looked at the map, tracing Sylvia's fingertips, to see if the location was suitable.

 As Leold had hoped, they were all close to the factory and without any buildings in the area, making them perfect for the course venue to be used for the unveiling.

'Hmmm... ......'

 The location and the requirements are not a problem.

 It could be anywhere, it would just depend on what kind of course to design and what kind of course to build.

 The money, the labour and the technology are there.

"Why not just pioneer the whole thing?"

"How much more of the grounds do you intend to expand?'

'Ummm ......"

 In Leold's mind was the most famous circuit in modern Japan, the Suzuka Circuit.

 It can be reproduced, but that would be boring.

 In any case, he wanted a completely original and exciting track.

 But Leold has no such talent.

 After all, he is limited to ape imitations, so he decided to reset his mind.

"Okay. I'd better talk to someone about this."

"Who are you going to talk to?"

 Sylvia's question made Leoldo smile.

"Everyone. First of all, Sylvia. What would you suggest?"

"Me? I'm not familiar with these things. ......"

"I'll draw up a short course for you. You can use it as a guide and tell me what you think."

"Okay."

 So Leold drew the course as best he could remember on a suitable piece of paper.

 He drew an oval-shaped course first, then a winding course that looked like a worm crawling on it, and so on.

"I see. So it's going to look like this.'"

'Yes. But I can't think of anything I'd like it to look like."

"If so, how about actually going to the place where the course is to be installed and using the topography? I think it would be easier to visualise."

"That's one way to do it. Sylvia, why don't you go and ask the others?"

"Sylvia-sama is very busy, unlike Leold-sama."

 The civil servants are giving the impression

 Sylvia is now an indispensable person in the office.

 Unlike the freewheeling Leold, Sylvia has earned the immense trust of the civil servants.

 Of course, Leold is also trusted, because he gives them money.

 Leold and Sylvia have different levels of trust.

'You don't have any urgent work to do now, do you?"

"Yes. Thanks to Lady Sylvia."

'Some lords can't sleep with their feet turned to Sylvia-sama, right?

'I bet you'll never be able to get your head out of your ass."

'You guys hit the vital point precisely, ....... Sylvia, thank you so much."

"Don't worry, it's nothing."

 The only thing the civil servants said was assent, and Leold bowed his head towards Sylvia at the same time as expressing his gratitude.

 Then, with Sylvia in tow, Leold went around the estate to get the opinions of the vassals present. The first one would have to be him, of course.

"Gil. Can I talk to you now?"

"Oh, is that you and , Princess Sylvia? What can I do for you?"

"Yes, I'm here to ask for your opinion."

 Leold shows Gilbert the simplified diagram of the circuit he has just drawn in his office and asks him if he has any opinions.

"Hmmm. 'Is this not good enough?"

"Not exactly, but I'd like some more ideas.

"Well, I can't think of any."

"Anything is fine. I'm open to suggestions, like how this should be done, or how it might be better,"

"It's hard to say. 'I think the young master's idea is good, no?'"

'"I think it's very original. ......?'

 What Leold draws is based on his memories from past life and is not original.

 Hence, he thinks it is not good enough to just reproduce it

 However, from Sylvia and Gilbert's point of view, it is an original enough concept, and they consider it something that no one else can imitate.

 In the end, Gilbert only gave him a stamp of approval and no opinion.

 Leold separates from Gilbert and goes with Sylvia to the next person.

"Oh, by the way, Master Leold.'

"Hmm? What is it?"

"I forgot to mention that in the matter of the car, you were thinking about something when you were talking to His Majesty, were you not? I thought you promised to tell me later."

"Ah. Yes, that's right. That's perfect. Let's go to Charles'. It will be easier to talk about it with Char".

"Does Char know about this?"

"I'll explain everything about that, too."

'Mm~, I see. So sister Char knew and did not tell me?"

 After all, Sylvia is blatantly jealous that Charlotte is special.

 Leold knows that Sylvia is jealous of Charlotte if she goes so far as to say so, and he argues to appease her

"Don't be so puffy. There is a reason why I couldn't tell you. I'll definitely explain that to you later, but for now, can you just trust me?"

"I've believed you from the start, ...... Leold-sama. So please tell me this time with sister Char."

"I promise you I will."

 Leold stares into Sylvia's eyes with a serious gaze.

 Sylvia found that there was no lie in Leold's words and eyes, so she smiled cheerfully and forgave him for omitting her.

'I forgive you.'

 Sylvia leaps in front of Leold with a lively voice, turns around and smiles prettily like a pretty girl.

 Leold was so taken by this cute gesture appropriate for her age, which she would not normally show, that he could not move for a while.

'That was a foul thing to do, right ......?"

 With a face dyed bright red, Leold muttered and started walking after Sylvia.

 Soon they reach Charlotte's room and Leoldo knocks on the door.

"Char. It's me."

 Knocking lightly on the door, Leold calls out to Charlotte inside.

 However, there is no reply from Charlotte no matter how much time passes.

 There is no lock on the door, so it is possible to enter, but it is not very nice to enter a woman's room without permission, and with Sylvia behind him, it would be even more of a trouble.

 Leold turns back and asks Sylvia for a favour.

Sylvia. I'm sorry, but could you go and have a look inside?'

'Okay. I'm off then."

 Sylvia slips past Leold and enters Charlotte's room.

 Leold waited outside for a while until Sylvia called for him.

 Shortly afterwards, Sylvia peeked out of the doorway.

"'Um, Leold-sama. Please wait a little longer until sister Char is ready."

'Was Char asleep?

"It seems so. So please wait until she is ready."

"Okay."

 Leold then had to wait in front of the room again.
