Chapter 55 – Episode 35-1. Sad Crying Child
‘I’m tired.’
Arlen took the towel that Vivien had told her to throw away, and went into her dormitory to keep it.
‘I’m bored, and I’m hungry. Haa… Dog is tired.’
Maybe it’s because I woke up early in the morning and walked around quite a bit.
It was when Allen was slumped over at her dining room table, eyes half-closed like that when the rice comes out.
“Good morning, Allen.”
“…Huh? What is it? Why are you here?”
Hard speech. An appearance that would appear anywhere in a historical drama. I was a little embarrassed by the greetings of Welton Arsna, who became my slave yesterday.
“There must be only one reason for coming to the restaurant.”
Welton, who was sitting right in front of her, was staring at Allen with her arms crossed.
“…Is this the first time you’ve seen a handsome guy? What’s so mean?”
“I thought about it all night.”
‘What bullshit are you talking about all of a sudden?’
“Yesterday, in the big mansion and casino, you didn’t treat me as a slave, but rather as equals.”
‘That’s right, I did it because it was obvious how Maros would act if the son of the duke family told me to follow him.’
“So, after thinking and thinking over and over again, I made a decision.”
“What did you decide?”
“Forward. I, Welton Arsna, have decided to become Allen Mestia’s faithful sword.”
“Is it your family history? It’s so fucking embarrassing.”
“I’m serious. Allen. If you want, you can give up even the next patriarch.”
“Are you crazy? You gave up that good position? Okay. You’re weaker than me, but you’ll be my sword?”
“I will try.”
At Welton’s words that he would become a sword first, Allen burst into laughter. Then, while looking at the spell engraved on him, she just quit.
Because Allen likes this guy. It was because she quite liked the loyal guy even though he was a bit like a middle 2 bottle.
‘Baby. You speak so well that the chicken meat grows. Shall I send it over there?’
“Anyway, you’re my property, so it doesn’t matter. Then let’s test it to see if you can keep your word of protecting me.”
“I’ll accept anything.”
“I have a map of a dungeon where an item is sleeping. But this is a dungeon that only I can go to.”
Of course it’s gurada. Who could create a single-player dungeon other than an unrivaled genius?
“If you come back with this item, then I’ll accept it as my sword. It’s simple, right?”
“Okay. Then…”
“You don’t have to rush, kid? Let’s go on the weekend.”
“What would you do if someone else stole the item inside it?”
“It can’t be helped then. Anyway, let’s start on the weekend.”
“I get it.”
‘He’s trying to go somewhere without a map. Still, if it’s acting, I’ll accept it happily, and if it’s real, it’d be great.’
Allen laughs inwardly and wakes up to bring the breakfast he ordered.
“Then enjoy your meal, Mr. Allen.”
“Fuuuuu! Mr., Shiva… What, why did you suddenly change your tone and address?”
“Don’t you like it? If you don’t like it, I’ll try to change it.”
“It’s okay. Just, as usual. Act like I normally do.”
“Okay. Then enjoy your meal, Allen Mestia.”
‘Young. Even though I’m upset about something, I’m even more upset when I listen carefully…’
Allen wiped her mouth and picked up a knife and fork to eat her huge steak.
If anyone else saw it, it’s courtesy, it’s etiquette, it’s etiquette, so they’d tackle her and fall, but who dared to touch Allen?
He is the second son of the Marquis of Mestia, and the academy student sitting with him is the third son of the Duke of Arsuna.
There were very few people who would touch the two unless they were a person of high rank, such as the royal family or the imperial family of a foreign country.
“Oh, hello…”
The main character with a cute voice greets Allen.
“Oh, you woke up early? Did you sleep well?”
“Ah, yes…! That, but…”
Mirai glared slightly at Welton, who was sitting in front of Allen, with her slightly frightened eyes.
“Sorry.”
“N-Neeet!?”
Welton Arsuna apologized as she approached Mirai, who was suddenly frightened.
“Yesterday’s rude behavior. I apologize.”
“Oh, that, that’s…”
“Hey, what should I do if an apology is so frightening? Respectfully. You should ask for forgiveness more like a gentleman than you think.”
Hearing the bitter words from Allen, Welton ah! She says, looking at Mirai as she gets down on one knee with her enlightened expression on her face.
“Miss Mirai Mirai, I know very well that the rude behavior I did yesterday is unforgivable.”
Wellton behaves like a pretty textbook gentleman and makes a long explanation.
‘Looks like you’ve learned basic etiquette.’
It was strange to see a guy she thought she was ignorant of so politely apologize.
“I-I…”
“Mirai. If you’re afraid of this guy, you don’t have to forgive him.”
“Ha, but…”
“If you’re afraid of Welton, I’ll stop you again. No, I’ll slap you openly. So you don’t have to forgive me like I just said.”
Mirai was encouraged by the words that Allen would protect her.
“Oh, don’t do that in the future… Yo!”
“All right.”
“Ho, even if I’m angry! Don’t… Don’t hit people…!”
A little girl’s shout.
It wasn’t that big, but it was clearly communicated to those of us around.
‘That’s nice. If it were me, I would have started with two fistfights.’
Allen, who was watching her as a third party, felt her satisfaction and vicarious satisfaction.
‘Oh, I want a daughter. Then he would really play well.’
“I won’t do that again.”
“I-I don’t want to forgive you yet…! The big hand that’s about to… Hit me…”
“Welton. Go away.”
“Okay. Then let’s go.”
Welton responds to Allen’s words, greets Mirai, and leaves with his last meal.
“Shall we go out for a minute?”
“…Yes.”
****
The feeling of resentment is truly terrifying.
No matter how weak the old man, no matter how weak a child is. If something is wrong that made them unhappy, their friendly gaze and attitude change 180 degrees.
A person who has always been kind.
A dish that was always warm.
A hand that was always warm.
However, the villagers who knew the true nature of Mirai, who was born with the constitution of misfortune, were very cold-hearted.
The always friendly people treated Mirai as little more than a rolling stone, with all their angry, dirty-looking faces that said they shouldn’t exist in this world.
The dish, which was always warm, could not even be seen unless it was the garbage rolling around in the trash.
The always warm hand threw farm implements and stones, kicked Mirai out of the village, and stood guard so that he would never see her again.
For some, mana is a blessing, but for others it is also a curse.
That little girl The girl, who still needs to grow up and grow up in the hands of people, realized how harsh and harsh the world can be at just three years of age.
“I-I’m so…”
“Are you okay.”
A bench in the backyard of the academy.
It was school time, so there was no one there except Allen and Mirai, who were sitting on a bench in the backyard.
The boy was wiping the girl’s eyes with a handkerchief, who was crying so much that her heart broke.
Of course, Allen doesn’t know Mirai’s past. Not to mention the evil curse merchants from the black market. So-called joke.
He must be a useless merchant who loses all his money if caught.
“Honestly, I can’t forgive Welton. He tried to hit me.”
“Huh…!”
Am embarrassed. I thought I was going to cry, so I came to the backyard… But I wonder if I was relieved to be with you. It hurts my heart to see Mirai crying sadly.
“Kuh, even in my dream… That big hand… Uhhh…!”
“I can’t say it’s okay… I can’t help it. I can’t help being scared. Still. You have to get over it, Mirai.”
“Huh… Ha, but… Black…!”
“You don’t want to live crying like this all the time, right? It might sound a bit harsh, but there’s no problem that can be solved by crying. The world is quite harsh. You have to act, move forward, and think about living.”
A soft flowing voice. Mirai knew this too.
She has lived with harshness, contempt, and all kinds of worldly aid more than anyone else.
But when she heard the boy she liked speak coldly, her already bursting tears showed no signs of stopping.
“You’re not alone, right? If you’re having a hard time, you can ask me for help, or you can ask your friends. Of course, this is contrary to what I said earlier, but I think people stand alone and help each other to move forward, right?”
‘Oh shit… I don’t even know what I’m talking about…’
“So… Uh… What should I say… Um… I’m sorry. I’m not very good at talking. If there’s something difficult, try bumping into it as hard as you can. If that doesn’t work, let’s bump into it together.”
“Kyo, kyo tuk tuk… Whimper…”
Mirai, who had been crying for a long time, sniffed her nose, and the last tears fell from her eyes.
“Uh… My eyes are puffy… Swollen. Let’s go to the health room and get some sleep.”
“Lose, lose… Sniff… Ho, I can’t sleep alone… Sniff…”
“Then I’ll stay by your side until I fall asleep.”
