-Captain! How can you sleep in a castle every time!? - the deputy head of the knights was indignant. Gunther was also a beastman, he tried to live up to the status of a valiant knight, but Makella remained as wild as she was. Even a domesticated wolf cannot be weaned from savagery.
- Don't worry so much, Gunther. said the she-wolf named Markella. She is a knight by birth, as their tribe made a pact with the first king. Today, she should be given the newly minted heroes, but this is after the banquet.
- Welcome everyone to the banquet! - said the king, drawing the attention of all the aristocrats. Since the whole country agreed to the heroes' summoning, everyone from the baron to the earl had to attend the banquet for their hidden plans for the heroes.
- Today the call was successfully made! Say hello to our newly arrived heroes from another world! - he pointed to the door, and the knights, by order, opened the door, from which the heroes began to emerge. To the applause of the aristocrats, the entire class entered the banquet hall. The leaders of the group leading the others were Kudo Rin and Suzuki Hinata.
-Wow! I have never seen such clothes. - said one of the aristocrats next to Markella. Markella, on the other hand, looked at their physique and how prepared they were for a fight.
- Hmph. Weaklings. - none of them was worth the attention of Markella, since they all looked like aristocrats spoiled by the good life.
Nothing in Markella's life was easy. She had to cling to her fangs and bite into the granite of knowledge and the strength of the capital's streets, as the old custom of survival fell out of the tribe.
-Hm. He's not bad.
Looking at Sakamoto, she noticed that there was no smirk, no awe, no hint of arrogance on his face. Frankly, he didn't care about the banquet.
For a moment she could remember him. This boy entered her room. He remained impassive even when he saw her naked. Remembering his face, Markella didn't like that part.
You see, he has a girl in bed, and he did not even pay due attention to her. The vein in her forehead bulged with anger on its own. Should she go say hello?
-Captain. I know that angry expression. Don't say that you... - Before Gunther could say, she followed Sakamoto, who separated from everyone and went to the balcony.
- Hello, handsome.

-Ha ha! Yes, you are exaggerating! Your book is much more beautiful, Baron. - in the circle of aristocrats, Kudo was like a fish in water. Thanks to his chatty tongue, he could easily form bonds with anyone, and this is thanks to his father. The class dispersed to the sides, some to the table, some went in groups to the children of aristocrats.
-I'm glad to see you! Hinata introduced herself, bowing to Count Juliot and his sister Danielle. They were from a well-known family, which was created thanks to exploits during the wars.
-Julette de Lagroff. Nice to meet you, and this is my sister Daniella. - Since Julio was the only son in the family, he had to be polite and watch his words.
- M-Mutually.. - Danielle said shyly, bowing back.
-Your Highness. Marquis Dagit, Goluts and Duke Julius are not active yet. - said the maid, who came up behind the prince. The prince waved his hand and the maid left.
-The old man was completely senile. Leave the future of the kingdom in the hands of children? Never. It's better to do everything yourself. - said the prince and began to act according to the announced plan, between trusted persons.

Sakamoto went out to the balcony and decided to get some fresh air, as it turned out, he was not alone here. There were also Princess Claudia, who called to him, and the children of Duke Augustus, who stood at a distance from the king.
Since Sakamoto was trying to get away from at least some attention, that's why he came here. But due to the fact that the door to the balcony slammed on him, everyone turned around.
-My name is Sakamoto. I'm glad to see you. - Sakamoto said, holding out his hand, as he had long forgotten the traditions of his world and country.
-Finally. At least someone knows the etiquette. My name is Henry Augustine. I'm glad to see you too. And this is my sister Priscilla. -
Henry Augustine, in terms of age, he is the same age as Sakamoto, but mentally Yudai was older. Augustus respected only his own etiquette, and the way the heroes were welcomed irritated him. Bow? Yes, you must be joking. This is not how bows are made. Elegance is not in precision, but in movement. Therefore, Augustus left the hall.
His sister, like a tail, followed him. She is a silent girl who looked at Sakamoto with disdain until he sat down on one knee and took her hand and kissed her. This surprised her. She didn't think the outlanders knew their etiquette.
-You're so beautiful. - with a fake smile, he decided to still take the advice of his long-dead love. She always said that even older girls should be treated like a diamond, even if she starts accusing you of being ignorant.
- Hello, handsome. - said the she-wolf who came out almost throwing Sakamoto's soul out of his body, since he did not expect that she would become attached to him after he saw her this morning completely naked.
- Ototo! Princess Elizabeth! Didn't know you were here. - Markella was confused, because she wanted to punish the boy.
- Hey Markella. - Elizabeth said with a very oppressive smile on her face. Because on her part it looked like harassment to the hero.
