188 – Scene 188# Midnight Confession
*
It was almost midnight when I escorted Bella to the school gates.
Fortunately, he didn’t get caught dancing with Wendy, but he had to sweat hard to refuse Bella’s request to take her to the mansion.
In fact, at that time, all I could think of was Wendy.
The sudden appearance of her didn’t look like a 12-year-old no matter how you look at it.
‘Is it magic I don’t know… ?’
I thought hard about it.
Throughout the original work, I had never seen or even heard of the magic that grows overnight.
Of course, there was no episode where Wendy suddenly became an adult.
Because she died early and was one of the characters who disappear without any importance in the story.
When a mysterious woman wearing an eye mask invited me to dance, I didn’t expect her to be Wendy.
When I held her hand, I would have noticed it later if I hadn’t touched the familiar bandages.
Wendy’s grown-up appearance was truly astounding.
Tboob.
I walked down the dark hallway and arrived in front of the office.
It was already midnight, so the building was filled with silence.
I opened the office door without hesitation.
And Wendy was there.
Moonlight streamed in through the large windows.
Beneath it stood a woman wearing a dress resembling a golden butterfly.
I looked at her, lost for a moment at the unrealistic and dreamy appearance.
“ah… . Count.”
Wendy, noticing that I had come, hurriedly approached me.
It is Wendy who walks a little awkwardly, perhaps because she is not used to the shoes.
“That look… .”
“Count. Rather than that, why don’t you dance with me now… ?”
Wendy, who had cut off my words, was appealing to me with desperate eyes for some reason.
She didn’t shed tears, but her amber eyes had a strange power that was hard to refuse.
“… I get it.”
I have a mountain of questions to ask, but it won’t be too late to ask after the dance is over.
I held her hand and got into a dance position.
“Then Wendy… .”
“J-now!”
“Well?”
“For now, just call me the nameless ‘lady’… !”
What do you want so much… . However, we decided to go along with Wendy’s insistence a little.
“yes. Are you ready to dance with me? A ‘lady with no name.’”
“Yes, yes!”
Wendy, who responded energetically, took me by the hand and started dancing.
It was a prom for the two of us held in the office.
Wendy is clumsy, but she took the steps more confidently than before. It seemed like he practiced quite a bit while waiting for me.
I could guess how much she wanted to dance.
“Stay close so you don’t bump into the bookshelf.”
“Ah yes!”
Wendy’s gaze was on me throughout the dance.
If you are a beginner, you should look at your feet stepping, but should you say that you are proud or courageous when you stare at me, your partner? .
But apart from that, she seemed very happy.
He was ecstatic as if he was savoring this moment, as if he didn’t want to miss it even for a single moment.
It was sudden, but I thought it was good that they danced like this.
If time permits, it might be good to teach her to dance properly later.
“You got better in a short time.”
“I’m still in a hurry to follow the count’s dance… .”
“Anything like this is great.”
“Ehehehe… . I was praised by the Count.”
Wendy smiles bashfully.
Although she was wearing an eye mask, her smile was dazzlingly bright.
Even the bright moonlight seemed insignificant compared to her smile.
How many times have you danced like that?
“Huh?!”
Out of nowhere, Wendy’s foot got twisted.
I quickly grabbed Wendy’s waist, who almost fell over.
“be careful.”
“Go, thank you… . My legs are weak… .”
Wendy, who was hugged tightly, was slowly calming her surprised breath. Her face was very close.
Then my mouth opened on its own.
“face… .”
“Yes?”
“Is it okay to look at it?”
Wendy’s eyes widened.
Hesitantly, she nodded her head.
I carefully removed her eye mask.
Then, a beautiful female face with a young tee was revealed.
It was the same as the grown-up Wendy that Michaela had shown her the other day.
“Count… .”
“Can it happen?”
“Yes? Oh yes! Sorry…”
I didn’t miss Wendy’s small moan as she staggered to get up.
“Does your foot hurt?”
“Gwa, it’s okay! It’s just that I’m not used to high heels yet… .”
“Let’s take a look.”
“Yes? Oh, kya?!”
He lifted Wendy up and sat him by the window next to him. And carefully took off her high heels.
“… I won’t be able to dance like this.”
As expected, Wendy’s feet were covered with scars. The heels and toes of the shoes were chapped in places.
At a glance, it looked painful.
Have I endured the thought of dancing with me all this time?
“Wouldn’t it be okay if I just put a bandage on it…?” ?”
“Don’t be stubborn. The dance ends here.”
“But… .”
“There is no use in using it. When you become an adult, act like an adult.”
“Hey… .”
Leaving the depressed Wendy behind, I searched the office desk.
It must be around here… … . Oh, here you are.
I approached Wendy with a towel and a bandage. He then knelt down in front of her sitting by the window.
“Bae, Count… ?”
“Why?”
“That… . It’s not that the Count wants to heal you… ?”
“… ? That’s right.”
“Oh no!”
Wendy shouted, hiding her feet inside her dress.
“I will! It’s okay if I treat you!”
“Stay still.”
“No! no! If you do that to a servant like me… !”
“It is an order.”
“Hick?!”
I quietly looked up at Wendy.
I calmly waited for her to obey my orders.
“eww… . It might be dirty… .”
“Dirty?”
“Oh no! It’s not dirty… ! but… !”
Then, Wendy stood up and pushed out her bare feet that were hidden under her dress.
Because I already knew that while serving me, I couldn’t break my stubbornness even once.
“Ugh… . I don’t know. I made it clear… .”
“yes. It will sting.”
“Yes? Heeyang!?”
The moment I wiped my feet with a wet towel, Wendy let out a strange moan.
“… Are you in a lot of pain?”
“It’s not because it’s ticklish… .”
“Be patient with that.”
“Hey… . I-I don’t know how to clean that kind of place… .”
A place like that would be between the toes.
Embarrassed, Wendy wiggled her toes while covering her face with her hands.
I muttered that the figure was cute, but I was stunned.
“I don’t know if he used some kind of magic to become an adult, but now it seems that only his body has grown.”
“Yes?!”
“Seeing that the kernel is still there… .”
“Oh, no… . I’m an adult… Hee!? Go, tickle!”
“Don’t be afraid.”
At that time, a lotus flower leaf flew out of the window. I saw the petals that had reached the end of their lifespan faded.
It looked like a Christmas light decoration, or like fireflies dancing at the last minute.
Treatment is almost over.
All I had to do was wipe it clean with a wet towel and put a bandage on it, so it was only natural that it would be over soon.
Then, Wendy opened her mouth.
“The Count… . Why are you nice to a servant like me?”
What an embarrassing question.
To be honest, I can’t say you’re my death flag. It’s difficult to get people to understand the death flag, and they won’t believe it.
Fortunately, it was a question that had already been answered once.
“Because you are special.”
“I am special… ?”
“yes. You are the only person in this world who spills tea, falls, and gets sick every time.”
“Hey… . I don’t think that’s anything special… .”
“It is special. At least I think so.”
After answering that, he silently put a bandage on her foot.
But suddenly, my vision darkened.
“… The Count is also a special presence to me.”
“… ?”
Wendy, who was sitting by the window, hugged my face tightly.
There was no time to press on what he was doing all of a sudden.
because… .
“I am… . I really like the Count.”
“… what?”
“As for how good it is… . Daily… . I love it so much that I can’t sleep thinking of the Count. Really.”
I couldn’t see her expression, but Wendy’s voice was trembling as she whispered in my ear.
“A while ago… I was happy when you said you were beautiful. Thanks to the Count’s precious treatment, I was able to become this person.”
After hearing her confession, I was about to answer.
side.
A soft touch touched his forehead.
At the same time, Wendy let me go.
When I looked up, Wendy was looking at me, covering her lips with her hand.
“Wendy… .”
“Ehehehe… . It’s a pity, but I guess the time is up… .”
Again, I couldn’t help but be surprised.
Wendy, who looked about the same age as me until a while ago, was back to being a 12-year-old girl.
Like the magic of a night.

The bell of the grandfather clock announcing midnight rang in the darkness.
There are many tears and many fears, but the infinitely lovely girl said with a shy smile.
“Oh, today… Will you be satisfied with this… ?”
