59 – You’re really crying.
“….”
After the couples got together, a strangely awkward air flowed between Trixie and me.
To be precise, Trixie was feeling a little awkward with me.
It deserved it.
We are in a situation where we have a ‘confrontation’ ahead, and even the last conversation did not take place in a very good atmosphere.
“Breakfast.”
Trixie finally broke the silence. That was the first word.
To be honest, I want to go around alone. I have my own plans, and she has her own plans.
Unfortunately, however, individual action is not possible for us.
◎ You must ignore your partner if it appears after not being seen for more than 15 minutes. That’s not your match.
Because of the above clause. In other words, we cannot be apart for more than 15 minutes.
I’m not afraid of abnormal phenomena, but…. Trixie is the problem, not me. She will be swept away
‘Well, just this time.’
Trixie von Fritz.
I have marked her as a candidate for her subjugation. Therefore, I intend to inevitably conform to the above clause.
“Let’s have breakfast.”
She urged. I quietly nodded her head. I didn’t mean to skip breakfast anyway.
“Let’s go.”
I figured out the geography of Sappho language last night by looking at the booklet. Now, there is no space I don’t know about in this fairground.
“Wait a minute.”
Trixie tried to stop me.
“The restaurant is not that way.”
“Follow me.”
“No.”
But I ignored Trixie and started walking in the direction I had set my mind to.
“… Where.”
In the end, Trixie had no choice but to catch up with me. She said again.
“What are you doing? It is not a first-time area.”
That’s a fact I know better. But what if there are better restaurants outside the first-time area?
I stand firm. Trixie followed me with her disapproving face.
And soon after, signs began to appear.
[ ♬ ]
The signboard has only one musical note written on it. This is the restaurant I had in mind, ‘Harmony’.
“… You wouldn’t want to eat here.”
“I will have breakfast here today, so you know.”
Just then, a neatly dressed waiter approached us. Although he looks plain, he has a golden pin stuck in his chest.
“Good morning. Gentleman. If you have made a reservation, would it be okay if I ask your name?”
“I didn’t. I will just pass.”
Trixie stepped up and answered. The waiter’s gaze naturally turned to the white name tags on our chests.
And after a while, a troubled smile appears on his face.
“The white nameplate…. Sorry. Unfortunately, it seems difficult to use Harmony for the safety of our guests.”
“No, it is possible.”
The troubled expression on the waiter’s face grew a little thicker. He points to a signposted list with a polite gesture.
“As you can see, even the pen that writes the list has a yellow name tag on it….”
“What are you doing, let’s go. You have to follow the rules.”
Trixie urged, but I reached out without a word.
The white name tag on the uniform doesn’t represent me. You won’t be able to bond.
The pen in his hand moves smoothly over the sign. It wasn’t long before Trixie’s and my names were written.
“Hmm.”
[ Kaplan ]
The habitually moved hand wrote down my real name. It seems that it can’t be helped because it’s a level engraved in the soul.
I was going to draw a few lines above it, but I just let it go. It’s not an easy handwriting, and it doesn’t matter who sees it in the first place.
“… !”
Trixie’s and the waiter’s faces flashed with surprise at the same time. I asked the waiter calmly.
“Is it okay?”
He nodded his head, dumbfounded. But soon, he calmly started guiding.
“Wow, I checked. Please enter.”
“….”
Trixie looked at me with narrow eyes. Either way, I walked slowly inside.
We arrived right after the business opened, so we were almost the first customers. It wasn’t too difficult to get a seat by the window.
Looking inside the restaurant, I realize that my choice was right.
Unowned string instruments move on their own to create melodies, and the delicate decorations in the restaurant are all antique.
“Sit down.”
“….”
Trixie stared at me as I sat down.
The reason was obvious. Starting with the dining room table, chairs, and forks, knives, and spoons…. All of them had yellow name tags.
Damn—!
I snapped my finger once.
By putting a thin film on the outside of Trixie, I took measures to bear her burden. With Hera, this level of mana usage is comfortable.
“Sit down now. Because it’s okay.”
Trixie looks suspiciously at me. But I just return the unconcerned look.
Within seconds, Trixie’s fingers moved. Very, very timidly, he poked the chair with his fingertips.
Cock, cock, cock.
“….”
After confirming three times that nothing is happening, Trixie quickly sits down on the chair.
“… How is it.”
She said, lifting her chin very slightly. So, it seems that she thinks that she survived thanks to her own ability.
A waiter approached holding a menu.
“Nice to meet you both. On such a fine day, what would you like to eat?”
I handed the menu to Trixie.
Then Trixie started ordering three salads.
“Wait.”
I interrupted because I couldn’t see it. Breakfast was ruined by this. I said to the waiter.
“First, prepare three salads. With different seasonings.”
I pointed out exactly the three seasonings written on the menu.
“Don’t bring it all at once, bring it exactly at intervals of 6 minutes and 14 seconds. Do you understand?”
“Yes. Would that be enough?”
“How can that be? Two steaks at the end. I will point out the parts from now on. Master both.”
I slowly pointed out the cut of meat and seasoning.
“Okay. Harmony is lucky today to have such a great first guest.”
The waiter with a smile politely bows and leaves.
“….”
Trixie looked at me with a slightly dumbfounded expression.
Silence fell as the waiter disappeared, Trixie said a word.
“I must have been here a lot.”
“Do you know who the beggar is?”
“It’s a beggar.”
Her eyes narrow slightly. Come to think of it, Trixie knew me as a commoner.
“Don’t count on that.”
She nodded. Compared to her previous life, it is not wrong to say that she is a beggar now.
This time I said a word.
“You are the daughter of an aristocrat…. Did you order like that?”
“I only eat salad.”
I pointed out the overall ordering method, but it seems that I thought it was pointed out that I only ordered a salad.
Of course, it is difficult to understand that people only eat salads day and night. It’s not a balanced meal from a magical point of view.
“Why don’t you eat something else?”
“No. To do ballet.”
“… You?”
Do you have time for ballet before the showdown?
Is it full of confidence or desperation?
But Trixie seemed to understand her meaning a little differently once again. Her face turns red in her sneak.
From noble mtl dot com
“Why?”
Her gaze shifts to Trixie’s own violent chest. She naturally shifted her gaze toward me as well.
Looking at it now, there were other problems with ballet.
“What are you wearing so ignorantly?”
Exactly as it was expressed. She in her previous world was also proud of her chest…. It wasn’t that big.
Trixie’s face blushed. Like it’s about to burst
“… What, ignorance? This is the age that doesn’t go away. What do you know?”
“I don’t need to know.”
“And I can do ballet even when I grow up.”
I have no particular interest in other people’s breasts. However, it would be inconvenient in terms of using magic.
I advised her.
“Engrave a magic circle there. Then it will come in handy.”
“Are you crazy? On someone’s chest… !”
Tsk, I just ended the conversation by clicking her tongue.
From personal preferences to interests…. The difference between her and I is so great that we can’t even chat.
Just when I was listening to the melody of a stringed instrument without any conversation, a familiar woman caught my eye.
An elf with golden hair and pointed ears.
She is disguised as an official with a golden pin on her chest, but I can clearly see her true identity.
A bloody ghost I encountered at the library. The guy was snooping around here.
“Anyway, you should eat alone.”
“… What?”
“Never mind, I’ll be back in 15 minutes.”
Leaving a dazed Trixie behind, I headed out of the restaurant.
The bloody woman is busy snooping around here and there. She called her quietly.
“Hey.”
“… !”
She is so startled that she is at a loss. It’s probably because of me that they snooped around.
“You’re impatient because you can’t show that you’ve infiltrated.”
“I’m sorry. I just have something to report to Maiev….”
We moved to a remote place. It was a place that no one else could reach because it was remote even at first glance.
“Take it.”
She handed her one of her trivias.
Before she came to Sapore, she had two extra trivias.
I intend to use these trivias purely for the purpose of communicating with the blood demons.
“From now on, contact me through this. I can’t possibly see that stupid little thing with my naked eyes.”
“I, I, I will…” .”
“Name.”
In just two letters, her face became more sullen.
“That…. She’s said it over twenty times….”
“Should I even remember your name?”
“Te, this is Teresa!”
Teresa.
I turned to her and nodded her head.
“So, what I was going to report.”
“Yes. I will report to you from now on.”
Theresa took one gulp of her saliva and opened her mouth.
“First of all, the location of the object has been confirmed. The artwork itself named ‘dream’ is a magical tool.”
“Again.”
“Confirmed that the interim evaluation has started. We will also step in step with it.”
Unbeknownst to me, I narrowed my eyebrows. Interim evaluation has begun.
… It must mean that the actual Maiev has already taken action.
I spoke in an indirect manner.
I was very concerned that you were so savage that I couldn’t even check it.”
“I’m not that good. You mean you can immediately recognize Maiev-sama’s level of magic?”
Does Maiev use such unique magic? Naturally, interest arouses.
“Should I use it for you too?”
“Buy, buy, I will decline!”
Theresa waves her hands from side to side.
“I don’t like being in a frame. I hate being stuffed alive, even if I die. Boo, please be lenient!”
Stuffed alive…. I think it would be good to approach it with the feeling of combining ‘softness’ and ‘harmony’.
Maiev’s unique ability has been confirmed. Now, you should tap the calculator accordingly.
Theresa bowed her head.
“Then I’ll see you in two hours. You are the pride of the clan.”
I nodded quietly. It was also possible to guess that the ‘interim evaluation’ of the blood demons would take place in two hours.
Two hours.
It was a lot of time to make a plan.
◈
“… What.”
Trixie was left alone.
However, I didn’t feel like grabbing flan. Because now I know he’s more of an unruly human being than Trixie.
‘He was very good at casting spells.’
He wasn’t nervous when dealing with the waiter, and he didn’t even look confused when choosing the menu.
It would be impossible if you have not often encountered luxurious cuisine…. To Trixie, flan is always new.
Just in time, the food is put on the table. Left alone, the girl picked up a fork and knife.
Are restaurants with yellow nameplates different?
… I finished my meal in less than 5 minutes. I even ate all the flan.
“Hmmm.”
Trixie cleared her throat and wiped her mouth with a napkin. The flan should come soon, but I can’t even see the nose pluck.
‘Should I wait in front of the restaurant?’
For now, that was the most reasonable choice. If you start wandering all the way to Trixie, there’s a big risk of getting lost.
But suddenly, the list of signs caught my eye.
[ Kaplan ]
It was hard to recognize because the writing was so flowing, but Trixie had definitely seen this shape before.
Also, even if you don’t recognize it, isn’t it a way to know that your handwriting is amazing?
Even within the Fritz family, such excellent handwriting was rare.
First of all, I traced it on the memo page of Trivia. If you think about it a little more, you will remember where you saw it.
“… ?”
At some point, Trixie opened his eyes wide.
‘You’re all thinking about flans.’
Is this me? Thinking of another man?
She shook her head vigorously. This is unavoidable It was designated as a pair, but the other side disappeared.
“… Where are you going?”
How many more minutes until 15 minutes. I didn’t want to get caught up in an anomaly.
But then.
“… It’s okay.”
My head feels dizzy. At the same time, a strong wind blew.
Trixie closed her eyes tightly. She had her hair flying like crazy.
When she opened her eyes after a while, there was a space she had never seen before her eyes.
Just a white room.
In front, beside, behind, on top, even on the floor…. Framed mirrors were attached to it.
Trixie happened to look at one of them.
“… ?”
Then, puzzled, I involuntarily backtracked. The mirror did not reflect his true self.
‘What is it?’
Trixie in the mirror was standing in front of a tombstone. Trixie remembers that day clearly.
Not long after the death of her mother. That is, the past days.
Trixie noticed that the image inside the mirror was ‘reality’, and began examining the inside of the other mirrors as well.
“The Arena of the Faculty of Knights?”
Judging by the appearance, it’s clear. A stadium full of spectators. Someone was standing in the middle of it.
Blue hair, swaying blue flames…. It wasn’t hard for her to recognize that it was who she was.
‘This is me too.’
Despite his whole body in a state of disrepair, he stood proudly while accepting the cheers pouring down like rain.
‘… I don’t remember this.’
I don’t remember experiencing anything like that. I’ve never seen it even in my dreams.
However, the situation in the mirror is unfolding as vividly as in reality.
Parching─!
The moment I tried to take a closer look, the mirror cracked like a spider’s web and then shattered.
“….”
Trixie swallowed dry saliva. Reluctantly, he approached the other mirror.
This time it was the biggest mirror.
Twilight has fallen and the world is all orange. In an unknown place, inside the mirror, Trixie was kneeling.
I can only see the back. However.
‘No way, are you crying?’
In the mirror, Trixie’s shoulders tremble like crazy. Under his chin, something transparent and shiny falls incessantly.
‘… She’s really crying.’
The self in the mirror was clearly weeping.
And that while hugging someone who had fallen down.
Standing with her hands on her own cheeks of her fallen teeth, she was crying madly.
It’s sad. Even though I can’t hear the sound, I can feel it.
‘What’s wrong?’
Trixie unknowingly narrowed her brows.
Kneeling, hugging someone else, crying while shaking your body…. All of this was unimaginable to her.
He himself knew best that he did not have the temperament to care so much about others.
It was around that time that Trixie in the mirror turned her head this way.
At the same time.
I could barely see the face of the one who had collapsed in her arms of Trixie.
The moment he confirmed his identity.
“… !”
Trixie was so shocked that she couldn’t even scream.
Maiev = President
Huh… 🤔
