Andrea was looking at me with his eyes wide open, as if someone had hit him on the head, or as if he had seen a ghost. The expression on his face was different compared to the notification that his favorability had increased. Though it was hard to notice immediately, the emotion on his face was surprising... it was fear. As he stared at me with piercing eyes and mumbled something with his lips, I couldn't help but feel scared as well

"What's wrong? Did a wasp land on you?"

I raised my hand to my face and felt around my forehead and cheeks. It was the number one thing you should never do if a real wasp sits on you, but I was also out of my mind because I was embarrassed.

"Why, why are you looking at me like that?"

Finally, when I spoke, Andrea slowly blinked his eyes. His pinkish irises trembled slightly before settling back in place.

"...The scarf slipped down, so I saw your face."

Andrea said.

Only then could I understand the reason for Andrea's favorability. He must have fallen for me momentarily because my face was revealed. This idiot... Last time, when I crossed arms with Andrea, there was also a moment when his favorability increased. Maybe it's similar to that. But what's there to be afraid of? Did you feel afraid that you would develop a crush on me without realizing it?

It's complicated.

As soon as I had that thought, the system window popped up.

[Favorability is the same liking for everyone! Captivate the male protagonist's body and mind using any means possible ^_^b]

I pulled the scarf up to just below my eyes and muttered curses silently. Captivate? No way. I would never go all the way with a male lead here.

...Well, I had a wet dream, though.

...I also masturbated.

Anyway, as long as nothing happens between the person involved, it's okay.

...At least for now.

"Ugh, let's hurry."

I said as my face flushed for no reason, and so I spoke in a sharp tone. Andrea followed me, his horse's hooves clattering leisurely from behind.

The city we entered, Warton, was very lively. The villages I've visited before were vibrant and busy, but the feeling from a city was different. The wide paved streets were constantly filled with carriages, and the shopping district was glamorous and sophisticated. Pedestrians were dressed deliberately and looked carefully designed.

I absentmindedly stared at the rich dresses of the two women walking in front of me, swaying like cakes. I could probably hide inside those. While thinking about that, Andrea suddenly spoke into my ear.

"Do you like the lady in front of us?"

"Oh! W-What are you talking about?"

"It's rude to stare too much."

Indeed, the two women in front of me had noticed and were giggling and whispering to each other. Feeling awkward, I nodded my head in greeting, and they laughed even louder. Andrea flashed them a bright smile and then grabbed my arm, leading me down a different path.

It wasn't until we were some distance away that Andrea let go of my arm.

"In the past, just by looking at that face, people would line up regardless whether they were a woman or a man but now it's different. You're wearing a hat and a scarf. It looks very suspicious."
