« Father, really. Are you looking at that autograph board again? »
« Oh, Solna. »
As usual, Solna looked at her father, the baron, gazing at the autograph board alone in his private room, with a slightly exasperated expression.
This autograph board was something his vassal had sent from the capital of Duke Ougok. A large handprint and some characters she'd never seen before were drawn on it.
« Look at this powerful handprint. It's as if he bears the world. And these vibrant ancient characters! Unfortunately they're too difficult to read, but surely they must be words of deep meaning. »
Seeing her father nodding to himself with a satisfied look, she could only smile at first.
She never expected, even after a month had passed, that he would gaze at it every night — not even his daughter Solna could have predicted that.
It was the autograph board of the world's savior, the hero Hayato Masaki of the Saga Empire. How the honorary knight Pendragon had obtained it through what connections was unknown.
On that autograph board, which no one could read, ancient characters wrote the following:
To Baron Muno
YES! Lolita, NO! Touch
Hero Hayato Masaki
That no one among them could read the ancient language was a blessing in disguise.
