104 – Are you a son-in-law? (2)
It was the first time that a meeting was held, but is it usually held in this kind of atmosphere?
“… ….”
The silence is heavy.
My eyes sting.
An expensive sofa is like a cushion of thorns.
Tina was so uncomfortable that she wanted to get out of her seat.
“I want to see Tina get married in the short span of my life. She saw Tina, who was wandering aimlessly, living in her own place.”
She was a liquidator.
Raviel, who came to the mansion, figured out how to weaken Charlotte’s heart, and he poured the words out of her mouth in a way that made him and Tina look as pitiful as possible.
“… ….”
The other side of Tina and Raviel.
With her legs crossed and her arms crossed, Charlotte listened with her expressionless face.
It would have been less of a burden if she showed signs of getting angry, but since she didn’t care, I didn’t know what she was thinking, so I was more anxious for no reason.
“Raviel, no matter how much you think about it, it’s not like you’re causing trouble to others…….”
She must have calmed down her emotions, the words that Tina, who had regained her sanity, came up with belatedly trying to settle her situation.
Raviel gently pressed her breasts with her hands and put her index finger to her lips, as if telling her to stay still as she would take care of it herself.
“Besides, looking through Tina’s memories, you and Adele are so trustworthy, like seeing her sister and her brother. Seeing them like family made me shed tears without even realizing it. The feeling of Tina getting to know life without her family. If you also felt Tina’s heart, she would know how much Tina likes you. So why don’t you accept our Tina into her family with all her will?”
Raviel Biggie.
Emotional arm.
Family.
Crush.
If she recited words that people couldn’t hate even if people wanted to hate them with her unique voice, that alone would turn Tina’s life into a fairy tale and, on the other hand, a touching movie, enough to stimulate people’s tear ducts.
In fact, she’s not sure if it’s getting through. Charlotte presses her lower lip with her white teeth, trying not to show her emotions.
She forcibly lifted the corner of her mouth that was about to fall below her, and closed her eyes, trying not to show her emotions through expression.
‘It’s easy.’
There is such a story.
A story about a bet between the north wind and the sun to take off a traveler’s coat.
In the story, the north wind blew hard and tried to take off the traveler’s coat, but that only made her put on more clothes.
In the end, the sun that sends down the warm sunlight eventually takes off the traveler’s coat…….
Anyway, forcing someone to do something might not be the best option.
Lucy seemed to be trying to fight Charlotte and take Adele away, which means she didn’t foresee her future.
‘Adele doesn’t seem to have any intention of dumping Charlotte, so her best bet is to get her to accept it.’
So Raviel flattered Tina for a better life.
If you are destined to live with Charlotte anyway, wouldn’t it be better to go without conflict?
“I can understand why you are confused… ….”
Charlotte, who had been keeping her mouth shut, opened her mouth with her hand between her forehead.
Look at those twinkling eyes that I’m sure won’t refuse.
There is no such thing as a clear-eyed madman.
“Actually, since the young master has come this far, the answer is almost certain. I’m just giving my opinion to the master’s will. It’s the young master’s heart to accept that. Still, I didn’t want it to increase as much as possible.”
Adele averted her gaze as Charlotte poked Adele in the side with her arm.
“Honestly, she also considered Tina like her little sister, so it’s true that she doesn’t hold back. She was destined to stay with Tina anyway, if Tina intends to continue working as her maid.”
“Isn’t it~?”
The victory is on the decline.
Raviel, who had won a peaceful battle, smiled to the point of showing her white teeth and showed a triumphant expression to Tina.
It felt really good to feel like I was playing a role that I hadn’t been able to do in her lifetime.
“Then just in case.”
Is that why?
Raviel, who relaxed, stopped making judgments.
Raviel took out the necklace from Tina’s neck and showed it to the two of them.
“This necklace and the ring you two are wearing. You made it with the magic stone I left behind, right? But only our Tina seems to be a little outcast when it comes to necklaces instead of rings, so can we make them the same ring as you two?”
Charlotte was serious.
Ring.
It was something that had special meaning to Charlotte.
The only two rings in the world made from the mana stone left behind by Raviel.
A ring that Adele could never make again, even if she had other women.
The fact that she and Adele shared it made her feel as special as she was, and it was something that allowed her to respond positively to Anastasia and Tina.
So I couldn’t keep my eyes peeled for Tina trying to invade that territory.
This ideal was a part that could not be compromised.
“No.”
It was a cold voice that was different from before.
However, drunk on victory, Raviel didn’t notice the subtle difference and replied by rubbing her cheeks against Tina like a drunken father.
“Why? Do this too huh? I want to see Tina wearing a ring made from the mana stone I left behind.”
A reaction that seems unwilling to listen.
So, Charlotte changed her target and looked at Tina instead of La Viel.
Tina, who was secretly liking La Viel’s insistence on getting her confirmation, smiled, but when her gaze crossed Charlotte’s, she hurriedly managed her expression.
“Tina said she liked her necklace, right? Right, Tina?”
Cut off.
If you answer incorrectly here, all of your fingers will be cut off so you can’t wear the ring.
With a foreboding feeling close to that certainty, Tina answered by pushing her face away from her clinging face, meaning that she would clearly draw a line between Raviel and Raviel.
“No, of course! Tina loves her necklace! After all, when she grows up, she may not fit!”
“Isn’t it?”
Tina was relieved to see Charlotte smiling as usual.
How did you get past the crisis of death?
* * *
Elara passed the big case, but she still had work to do.
Of course, she’s annoying and it’s not something she’s supposed to deal with like homework, she’s just doing what she’s supposed to do.
“Is there anything you would like to receive in return?”
Adele asked abruptly, leaning against the door of Lucy’s dormitory.
Feeling overdressed for being resting in her dormitory, Lucy tilted her head at Adele’s words.
“He helped me with a dangerous job, so this is my return.”
“Ah.”
As if realizing it only then, Lucy nodded her head.
“But I’m trying to pay off what I owe you until now… ….”
She was about to answer, but she had an idea and she cut her off.
Isn’t it called reciprocation?
Then, wouldn’t it be legal for her to make a request out of selfishness?
And since it’s a reward, no one will try to interfere with this.
In other words, this is an opportunity.
A chance to fully satisfy your selfishness.
I was still, but I seized the opportunity that came rolling in my head.
“Um… ….”
Lucy thought for a moment with her arms crossed.
I wanted to think about how great to ask for something, but I couldn’t rush it, so Adele waited like that for several minutes.
“Oh, it will take a while, so come inside and sit down.”
“How much do you want to worry about?”
“What is it? Are you urging me now?”
“I didn’t mean to.”
Adele, who was pushed back with annoyance at Lucy’s reaction, met eyes with future Lucy who was sitting on the sofa.
She was in the middle of a yawning with her mouth ripped open while wearing a large T-shirt that stretched out at her neck. As soon as she saw Adele, she covered her mouth with her hand and shrieked.
“Hey, you b*tch! Do you live here alone?!”
Her future Lucy jumped up and ran, grabbing her Lucy’s hair and tearing it off.
Lucy’s well-groomed hair was recklessly tousled and messed up.
“Ah! Hey, hey Come on. Let it go and tell me!”
“I should have recognized this bastard when she suddenly dressed up. Did she make up her mind and bring her into her room? Treating me as someone who doesn’t exist?”
“Kyaaagh! aaagh!”
Lucy stretches out her hand to the future Lucy, screaming like her crow, to bury the truth that Adele should not have heard.
Even so, her skills were not enough, so she ended up being suppressed with her arms held behind her back as her role, and she brought more shame on herself.
“… ….”
And, of course, Adele was sitting on her couch watching the whole thing.
She made a fuss as if she wanted to see me, but it was even more strange that her gaze was not going.
Embarrassment appeared on Lucy’s face as her eyes met Adele’s, and slowly her cheeks and ears turned red.
“No…… I usually wear this and rest…….”
Although she tried to make excuses that were not excuses in that state.
“…… Okay. If you are, then so be it.”
Adele’s nuanced answer, telling her to match her words, only made her more miserable and ashamed.
Lucy pursed her lips and muttered something that no one would believe.
“It’s true… ….”
