10. devil. (One)

‘Wow, pretty… … .’

Unlike a maid like herself.

Lucia’s appearance seemed to shine.

I thought so.

The reason why I thought that was that her hair color was silver, like the white snow that had just fallen.

The atmosphere of her softly closing her eyes is like a fairy in a fairy tale.

It must have been because I suddenly felt that way.

Of course, contrary to his appearance, his mouth was a bit rough.

Even that, to the extent that it feels like a kind of charm.

It seems that Master Cale is admiring him.

When my thoughts stretched to that point, for some reason, a part of my chest felt stuffy.

If so, will Master Cale marry him someday?

The original betrothal relationship was broken off.

As I continued to think, I gradually felt my heart tighten.

A feeling of sinking somewhere in the chest.

‘… … What is he saying now. What do I say?’

Reasonably, I was well aware of how blasphemous this thought was.

Just thinking about this.

It was an insult to the Aion family head, who had put him in the ducal family.

However, unlike that mindset.

My heart was beating for some reason.

I heard that when you fall in love, your heart beats like it’s about to explode.

Could it be that you are like that?

‘… … It’s not like that.’

I don’t think I know everything about myself perfectly.

Still, to some extent I knew.

The feelings she has for him are not love, but crush.

And that you have to let go of that feeling before you can harbor love.

But I don’t know why, my heart was beating fast.

thump, thump, thump. and

It didn’t seem like she was doing this just because she liked him.

Something.

that there is something you forgot

Something we must not forget… … that I forgot

You might think it’s strange to even think about this in just one heartbeat.

I just had that feeling all of a sudden.

swish

Ciela shook her head in an attempt to calm her unusually fast beating heart and took a short deep breath.

And seeing Cale standing in front of her… … .

I inadvertently spit it out.

“Brother Cale. Bocchan… … You said you liked Mage Lucia, right?”

The question came so casually that it surprised Ciela even more.

It was a very personal question.

Depending on what you hear, it can sound unpleasant.

Surprised by that, Ciella spoke as if Cale didn’t think much of it before she could calm down.

“uh? Ah yes. It was.”

Her voice was so indifferent that it made me think she didn’t know what Ciella was saying.

Just like saying the obvious.

Saying that, Cale nodded and let out a pained sound as if pondering for a moment.

“I did say that, but it was an excuse.”

‘… … ?’

Flash.

Hearing those words, Ciela put on a dazed expression for a moment.

Is that an excuse?

I wanted to cancel the engagement because the person he likes is so pretty.

Looking at her face, I was convinced that it could be.

But that was an excuse… … ?

“… … I had a reason to break off my current engagement. It’s a secret from my father, of course.”

Having heard that far, Ciela barely understood the meaning.

therefore.

I had to break off the engagement, so I used Mage Lucia as an excuse… … .

Then why are you so good at it?

Don’t you say you’ll support the elixir, don’t you say you want to be friends?

To be honest, it was full of things I didn’t understand.

In the meantime, one thing was certain.

The fact that the person you like isn’t there.

Suddenly relieved by that fact, Ciela nodded.

“ah… … okay.”

Feeling a subtle relief that even she doesn’t know why.

* * *

Although I suggested that Lucia go for a walk.

Well, I didn’t go far, I was just walking around the magic tower.

It was because the mages of the Mage Tower couldn’t leave the Mage Tower unless they had a very special business.

that.

Even Lucia, who lost her magic and couldn’t use magic, was the same.

Still, if there were such a condition, all the wizards in the Mage Tower would be in a state of starvation because they couldn’t see the sunlight.

There were walking trails around, and there were many things to do except for the Magic Tower.

I grabbed Lucia’s arm and walked slowly in line with her steps.

Come to think of it, is it spring now?

It was winter when I died, so it must be quite a contrast.

Even the weather. temperature too.

Let’s walk the promenade of the magic tower for a while.

I could hear the whispering voices of some mages nearby.

“… … Isn’t that ‘Lucia’? That geek who can’t even use that magic.”

“Right. Ha, to go out with a guy… … Do you think it’s good to sell? Why are you bringing such a useless blind b*tch to the Mage Tower?”

I guess… … Lucia seemed to be a celebrity in many ways in the Mage Tower.

A bit on the bad side for now.

I could hear it even in my own ears, especially since I didn’t do anything with magical powers, so maybe Lucia heard it too.

People who have lost their sight are said to have superiority over other senses.

perhaps.

It might have been the voices telling Lucia to listen.

When I looked at the mages who were shaking their mouths with a frown, they shut their mouths with a huff.

A little sharp impression is helpful again in this case.

Is it because the eyes are sharp?

They say I have a dirty personality. Well, apart from that, though, he was pretty handsome.

Lucia let out a low moan as I was fighting a bit with them.

“Never mind, Wizard Lucia. Because it’s not worth it.”

“Yes. I don’t care. … … It’s been a while since I came out like this, I just wanted to.”

“Long time no see?”

When I unconsciously asked her muttering, I put on a look of regret for a moment.

That’s because Lucia right now can’t see.

Since she was almost isolated in the Mage Tower, it was extremely rare for her to come out on her own.

Did he guess what kind of face I was making even though I couldn’t see his expression?

Lucia burst out laughing.

“Puha, what is it? If you’re going to smirk, you’re smirking, and if you’re not, you’re not. Just do one.”

It was definitely a more relaxed tone than the first one.

Has the boundary against me decreased a bit?

If so, I’m glad

Sup.

Lucia took a breath as she took a step forward and spat out.

“… … Whoa. It’s been a while since I smelled the outside air, so it seems refreshing. Does it even smell like flowers?”

“Maybe it’s time for flowers to bloom. Well, it’s spring. Would you like to sit down for a while?”

“good.”

Having said that, Ciela quickly took out a simple chair from the artifact.

A table with two chairs.

It was natural if it was natural, but it was a number that did not take into account that Siela herself sat down.

In the previous episode, even when I told her to sit down, the lady-in-waiting stood firm, saying that it was right to stand next to her master and assist her.

While accepting generously in some parts.

Sometimes, in a unique part, it was Ciella who refused to correct her stubbornness, saying that she could never do that.

It was fortunate that she wasn’t worried about her leg, though.

Beastmen are usually slightly superior in physical abilities to ordinary humans.

Because Ciella wasn’t even an ordinary rabbit beast.

no. Rather, it was a more unique lineage than mine, a direct descendant of the Reinhardt family.

In terms of growth potential, maybe it won’t be pushed by Lucia either.

now… … She’s just an ordinary maid.

what. Isn’t that what’s important now?

Squeak.

I took a bite of the tea Ciela poured for me.

‘hmm… … .’

It’s okay.

I’ve felt this since long ago, but this guy before I possessed Cale.

There are a lot of places where my tastes overlap more than I thought.

Originally, the lady-in-waiting was changed once a month… … .

After Ciela came in, she was in charge for almost ten years.

And it must have been in her car.

I don’t know if it’s amazingly delicious or not.

At least for my taste, it was very good.

Seeing that he left Ciella alone, it seems that Cale in the original story thought the same way.

Moderately sweet yet bitter taste.

More than anything else, I would say I like the neck-turning.

Also, if my memory serves me right.

Lucia liked Ciela’s car as much as I did.

I couldn’t ask for a ride a few times because my personality is the one that can’t say things straight.

If you think back.

When Lucia hesitantly asked for a ride, Ciela said there was a time when she refused, saying she didn’t feel sincerity.

Pleasant memories from the past that feel quite rare now.

As I was sipping tea while remembering that, Lucia suddenly opened her mouth.

“… … Sometimes, I don’t know if it’s good to come out like this. Before I came out, I thought I would only think of the magic circle, but I don’t think much of it.”

“Then I’m glad. I wondered if I was forced to bring it out.”

Looking straight at a place other than Lucia, I answered like that.

actually.

In fact, bringing Lucia out wasn’t the only reason to arouse her mood.

The reason why I tried to come to the Mage Tower as quickly as possible by force.

Although it was simply a reminder of the situation Lucia was going through in the Mage Tower.

I’m not a bad person enough to bother people with just that.

Probably.

‘Soon, it’s time to appear.’

A wristwatch-type artifact.

While looking at it, I tapped the table.

Like someone waiting for ‘something’ to happen soon.

Soon after, I raised my spirits with magical powers, felt the presence of a fast approach, and slowly stood up from my seat.

“Brother Kale?”

five catastrophes.

Beings who are said to be symbols of something terrible to mankind, whose existence is disaster itself.

They are threatening by their very existence. Their strength is not only the power of oneself.

A somewhat distorted race born from a disaster.

A race that hates life, calls calamities “evil gods” and worships them.

cooong.

A black man who had suddenly fallen from the sky murmured.

[There are a lot of bug-like humans.]

Humanity leaves them behind.

It was called ‘The Devil’.
