The passing wind was quite cold, but the rising body temperature adequately offset it, so Euphemia felt rather refreshed.
‘that’s interesting… … ‘
If you look closely, you can immediately notice it.
When Ferzen walks down the street, he looks at the floor instead of looking ahead.
And his gait unwilling to step on the line of a neat road laid down densely in a square that is revealed by following that gaze.
I wonder if there is any special reason, but for Euphemia, I had no choice but to pass it on, saying that she has a unique habit.
I didn’t have enough clues to go straight to Severe Symmetrical Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.
“It’s here.”
“… … ?”
In front of a certain shop where the steps stop.
The pretty name Chanelia immediately catches my eye.
And beyond the glass of the store, various kinds of beautiful paintings were laid out.
Is it a place run by a famous painter?
“Go in.”
“Uh huh… … ”
Since the interior emphasized too much luxury, Euphemia narrowed the distance and entered the interior as if it was almost clinging to Ferzen’s back.
“welcome!”
Contrary to what I expected to be wearing work clothes soaked in paint, the welcoming artist greeted me in very stylish clothes.
“I want you to paint a portrait of me and my wife in one picture. Personally, I think oil painting would be good.”
“It takes about a week for it to dry enough that it doesn’t get on your hands. To hang it in a frame, it has to dry for about a month… … ”
“Okay. And on the left side of the picture, I think it would be nice to leave a separate space for writing. Is it possible?”
“yes! Sure! Then we’ll take you inside. Please follow me.”
portrait?
At the sound of an unfamiliar sound, Euphemia followed Ferzen who was dragging her and stepped inside.
“You can easily compose the composition.”
Unlike himself, who was standing idly, Ferzen glanced around and took a chair and sat there.
Euphemia also wondered if it would be okay to take a chair next to Ferzen and sit down… …
“Eupemia.”
“why… … ?”
“Come here.”
Ferzen taps his lap.
“I’m serious… … ?”
“It’s a married couple, what else can’t be done?”
“… … ”
“I don’t mind if you don’t mind.”
He glances at Ferzen for a moment, wondering if he is sane, and when he looks at the painter who is setting up, he responds with a bright smile.
Euphemia sighed at him and staggered to sit down on Ferzen’s lap.
Then he supports his back with one hand, and hugs his head with his firm chest as if to lean his face comfortably.
It’s more convenient than I thought, but… …
“It would only make you uncomfortable, just sitting next to me… … ”
“Eupemia. It is polite to not move when you become the subject of the painter. If it was going to be uncomfortable, I wouldn’t have even started in the first place.”
“no… … What kind of portrait do you come up with now?”
There are no pictures in this world.
so… …
“If you want to remember a specific moment forever, there is no reasonable way to leave it as a picture.”
“That would be your own opinion… … ”
At Euphemia’s words, Ferzen didn’t really deny it.
However, the purpose was to force her to burrow this moment in her mind and then remind her of it, so she did not say any more and closed her mouth.
Euphemia also kept silence so as not to offend the painter who was quietly drawing, put her hands on her stomach, and relaxed.
In that case, Ferzen’s hand supporting his back would be a burden.
‘I’m not worried… … ‘
The eyelids are getting heavier.
Since I ate a full meal with wine, it was as if a tiring hunger soaked in and water was pouring down like the stars in the night sky.
“If you are tired, take a nap. It will probably take three hours.”
“Three, time… … ?”
“okay.”
Even so, I was worried that it would be difficult to support my back for three hours.
“I’m not soft enough to be worried about you.”
“… … ”
Yes, will this man justify his worries?
With a smirk, Euphemia stretched her body back slightly as if to purify her, but his large, firm palms were still stably supporting her back.
Ferzen, will I ever see this man swaying aimlessly at least once in my life?
Eupemia closed her eyes, embracing a meaningless thought that might never come true.
thud.
thud… …
The sound of his very stable heart can be clearly heard from the ear touching his chest.
Whoops.
Ferzen, who lowered her head slightly, brought her lips to her bedside, and gently patted her with a large hand supporting her back as if she were playing a lullaby.
I wanted to tell him not to act like a strange child, but his body, which became languid as if floating on a cloud, was too bothersome, and slowly dragged his consciousness down.
After that, Euphemia, who was completely asleep… …

Very naturally, as if tamed.In search of Ferzen’s warmth, he only dug deeper.
* * * * *
The painter, Zelos, who is putting a couple on the canvas, paused for a moment.
‘It suits you well.’
A wife sleeping peacefully in her husband’s arms.
And when I see that such a wife is giving meticulous consideration so that I can sleep comfortably, it looks very good.
Occasionally, seeing a noble couple like that gave me a fresh shock as if my prejudice against nobility was being shattered, which made me feel better.
I don’t know how much we can capture that kindness towards each other, but I think we’ll do our best… …
Zelos moved his stopped hand again.
* * * * *
“it’s over. Now you can move.”
“is it… … ”
He loosened his stiff neck as if breaking it, and got up while holding Euphemia, who was still asleep.
“Can I come to pick you up in a week?”
“If it doesn’t rain, you can come on the sixth day. And as I said, if you take it with you at that time, it dries so that it doesn’t get on your hands, so if you want to hang it in a frame… … ”
“I said about a month.”
“yes. you’re right. And we have prepared the blank space you requested in advance, is this enough?”
Nodding my head at the painter’s words, I sat down for a while, took out a pen, and wrote in the blank space in ancient language.
In the future, Euphemia will be curious about this ancient language and try to decipher it.
“I… … If it is not excused, please allow me to display this painting until you come to retrieve it.”
“that… … Do whatever you want.”
“thank you!”
Pay the bill and leave the store.
Euphemia still showed no sign of waking up.
I hung my hands near my neck for easy hugging, and naturally hugged my neck and buried my head in the nape of my neck.
If only I had been so obedient… …
I’d lose my mind
“… … ”
It’s probably because all the alcohol is gone, and the night wind is impatiently cold.
Giving some strength to the hand holding Euphemia to him, I took a slow pace to return to the mansion.

“Do you like my present?”
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
March 5 — Lizzy Paul Liana Claudia’s 20th birthday.Yuriel pulled Lizzie’s wheelchair from behind and asked Lizzie how she felt excitedly.
“yes. very much thank you.”
“It’s so hard I can’t feel it.”
“Is this the first time Lizzy sees Professor Yuriel at the academy… … Please understand me even if I am shy.”
“Professor, Lord Loer is comfortable calling me Yuriel.”
To the extent that it is awkward to get closer, as the siblings try to distance themselves from each other in pairs, they lose their strength.
After all, it’s a fact that she and her sister are getting married, but can’t it be a little more comfortable?
‘I don’t think so… … ‘
Lately, since I’ve been tormented by Ferzen, I think I’ve forgotten what the weight of Alfred’s name was for a while.
Yes, this would be natural.
After thinking about it, he leads Lizzy’s wheelchair, and a very familiar figure catches her eye from the other side.
To the extent that I can’t believe that I’ve seen it wrong… …
Ferzen, who gently scatters his unique presence, walks.
“… … ”
“… … ”
As soon as their eyes met, Ferzen stopped walking.
Loerdo, Lizzy, and Yuriel also remained silent.
“Are you going out? Yuriel, you must not have abused your authority.”
“Today is this child’s birthday. What is abuse of power? … ”
“is it.”
Ferzen, who slowly lowered her gaze and looked at Lizzie sitting in a wheelchair, sighed for a moment before opening her mouth.
“… … Happy Birthday. Have a good time with your family.”
did not want to receive
I didn’t want to get it… …
“thank… … do.”
Lizzie reluctantly accepted his congratulations.
As if nothing had happened, Ferzen passed them by holding the green-haired woman in her arms.
Perhaps that woman is his wife, who has been rumored recently.
“Damn you bastard. To be able to meet you outside on a day like this that makes me feel sad… … Lizzie. never mind.”
Lizzy nodded at the words of her older brother, Loer.
“Don’t worry, don’t… … I don’t.”
Even if you want to pay attention, you won’t.
Because he didn’t want his life to be affected by that anymore.
But no matter what, it was unavoidable for the atmosphere to sink differently from the first time.
Not only Loer and Lizzy, but also Yuriel, whether they liked Ferzen or not, was very concerned.
Kirik.
“ah… … ”
For a while, just waiting for the wagons to pass by to cross over to the other side… …
Lizzie, who was caught up in the beautiful canvases lined up over the glass wall in the shop decorated with the splendid exterior, immediately dropped her purple eyes as soon as she saw a painting there.
“yes? what… … ”
Yuriel, who was following Lizzie’s gaze, also engraved a picture of Ferzen hugging Euphemia in her eyes.
Ferzen in the picture was holding Euphemia, who was sleeping in her arms, like a princess, with a soft smile and a soft kiss on the bedside.
The painter Zelos added some adaptations in his own way, but Yuriel and Lizzy would have no way of knowing it.
Whoops!
“Huh, uh… … !”
Clutching her fern-like hands, Lizzy barely managed to hold back the tears that were about to escape.
But as much as the tears falling from the corners of his eyes, he couldn’t stop himself.
“Lizzy… … !”
Loer hastily hugged Lizzie.
But it was only a catalyst that made him vomit out crying, which he was barely holding back.
“Uh-huh… … ! Whoa!”
You ruined my life, it’s going this way.
Why is it that you, the perpetrator, are living with such beautiful happiness in your hands?
At least, if you have a conscience… …
Shouldn’t you show me that happiness?
With such a gentle gaze, if you have a heart to love someone, why would you do this to yourself?
The resentment in her heart that she can’t vomit, like an immature girl.
Lizzy is just… …
I had no choice but to pour it out in the form of tears and crying.
“… … ”
And unlike Lizzie, Yuriel, who can read ancient languages, laughed as she read the words engraved on the left side of the picture.

Hello, that sentence, seriously.
「If the old water flows into the sea, do you think you will become the sea too? ‘ I doubt that it was written by the man who spit out the evil words.
‘If I had known that I could speak like that… … ‘
All you have to do is receive the Brutein’s seed.
To myself who grew up listening to such words from a young age.
Could it have been a little softer rejection?
‘Really… … ‘
he’s a disgusting man
