As the Villainess’ Final Crony, I’ll Follow Her to the End!

"...... is ah, ......

I'm depressed now, as anyone can see at first glance. The reason why I am sighing so much is because of the events that took place eight days ago.

It's a good thing that you're able to help me carry Master Austin, who had collapsed at the Bernador family's evening party, to the Redmayne family's carriage: ...... The problem is that Master Barkhorn also got into the carriage with them. I'm sure you've got a bad feeling at this point.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in a few minutes. And right after that, unbelievably, Lady Sophia said something horrible.

I've decided that he's the next candidate for your fiancé because my interests and those of Master Barkhorn are in agreement. I said that I would let Chloe choose him, and I'm sorry that I didn't make the right choice.

I'm not going to be able to say anything back to you, but I can only nod my head in response to Sophia-sama, who said she was really sorry to apologize. I'm not sure if it's just a matter of time before you'll be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

You can't complain after being apologized for being so adorable. I'd rather say thank you for the adorable expression. In fact, Barkhorn, who was sitting next to me, was glued to the expression on Sophia's face.

I was about to kick her in the shins as a result of my "don't look at me casually" attitude, but then Austin, who had bent over and snarled on his knees like he was in a cramped position, cautioned me, "Sophia, don't make that face," that expression of hers was so adorable that it was almost foul.

It's a good thing that you're not a part of the same thing. It's a good idea to be able to have a look at a few of the things that you've done to make your life easier.　Do you think such a joke is going to stand? And my voice shook.

But then Master Austin tapped me on the kneecap and said

I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not the only one. I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do that. It is not a good idea to be a good friend. It's a good idea to make sure that you're not going to be the only one who can do this.

He said that it would have been very cool if he hadn't been in a kneeling position. But soon after that, he coughed painfully and closed his eyelids, so I had to stare at him while rubbing his back to prevent him from being tricked.

"...... haaaaah ......

As I let out a deep sigh as I recall the incident in the carriage once again, I hear a voice right beside me say, "Chloe, please stop sighing. I'm sure you're going to be able to get a lot more energy out of me," he said in a voice that is also lacking in ambition.

I've been lying in bed under my watchful eye since that day. The only thing unusual about this room, which would be no different from the usual scene, is the wagon that only contains sets for two people.

The tea brewed by the Redmayne family's skilled maids is also delicious, but since my taste buds are accustomed to the tea brewed by Lady Sophia, I can't help but feel that the tea is inadequate. It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

It's not long before the graduation ball where the engagement is called off, and even the carriage returning from the school for the past eight days is different from Sophia-sama, who is busy with various preparations and procedures. If they are not in the same class as you, Sofia-sama and I would have no contact with each other until the graduation ball.

You say that, Master Austin. You can see that it's only because of Austin's maiden-like collapse at the ball that the two of us have grown closer.　And now you're worried about your energy?

Although this is not a good thing for a mere viscountess to say to the next head of the county, Master Austin, who knows that my words were just taking it out on him, laughed, "That's harsh," as if the air trembled slightly.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of your time with us," he said, "but I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of your time with us.

He said something that I had almost forgotten these days, something with implications that made me shudder for a moment. However, unlike in the past, I can no longer feel the fading of that beautiful, seemingly sublime face, and it's hard to tell whether he was really joking or not.

In the past, I could only take it in the wrong way, but on the one hand, I'm happy, on the other hand, I feel strange.

Suddenly, I realized that I was only thinking about the happiness of Lady Sophia. I'm sure that Austin was speaking from the inside like that.

We are a coexisting entity that uses each other, hand in hand with Sophia-sama to find happiness. That's what we've been up to now, a kind of contract that can't be changed without a written exchange.

As long as I understood my position without making strange misunderstandings with the two of you who treat me from such an easy distance, I was able to meditate on the future that lies ahead. But that is coming to an end soon.

As I hurriedly relegated my words to the corner of the room, I said, "Oh, come on, you're being so timid again. It's because you don't have enough energy, that's why you keep talking like that," I said, hiding my inner turmoil, but - "Yes, you keep talking about me.

It's a good thing you're talking about me ...... If you're so inferior to your appearance, you should try to lose some weight. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most of your time and energy, but it's a waste of time to be depressed and not make an effort to lose weight. Besides, once Sofia is married, Chloe is next. I'm not going to feel sorry for Viscount Evans if he has to take care of me forever.

I was just saying that as a matter of course, in fact, it was a matter of course. ...... Why is that? I've been able to respond to every comment he's ever made, but for a moment I couldn't immediately think of anything to say in response to this one.

But as the people in the mansion were pleased to hear that he is feeling better and eating a little more these days, his face is disgustingly well-groomed as he is able to get up on the bed without using a pillow to support his back.

It was heartbreaking to notice that the paper-white skin is slightly more circulating and the skinny cheeks are beginning to flesh out without shading. "Do you say that?" even though the mood was profane. It is.

You see. You say so, but you don't know that the naturally beautiful Miss Austen can't.

My voice was trembling with irritation as I strained it from the back of my throat, but Master Austin, who took my voice and my words as "upset," asked, "What's going on? And then she calls out to me in a quizzical voice, "Oh, you see, the beautiful face doesn't understand this complex. Oh, you see, after all, a beautiful face does not understand this complex.

I'm not going to be able to tell the difference.　I've always looked like this, ever since I can remember. What if losing weight doesn't make me more beautiful, but makes me even more miserable than I am now? What if I am deprived of my escape that I am ugly because I am fat, I will be left with nothing but despair?

If you feel miserable saying to yourself, "You'll never know unless you try, right?　I don't mind the way I am, but I think you're still pretty when you lose weight," said Lady Austin, who is beautiful herself and has a sister named Lady Sophia, the embodiment of beauty.

Is this a high degree of sarcasm?　You should not casually call this slender young lady cute in a body that admires her pet piglet. Flattery doesn't make a pig stand on its head. But, incredibly, Master Austin's non-offensive advice went on to say

"You're very aware, and you're not too smart. You're very aware, you're not too smart, and you have a good character in a way. If that's the case, the only thing you need to improve is your physique. I despise fools who judge things by their appearance, but it's not bad for Chloe's health to lose some weight and improve her appearance.

As if it were a good idea, he turns his body on the bed and makes an impassioned speech to us. Isn't that energy, the use of it, about eight days wrong?　

Besides, I would rather join a monastery than go through another disgraceful process of looking for a fiancée. You can take over the house after your brother grows up. Yes, I opened my mouth to explain, thinking that would be the best thing to do.

It's a good thing that you're not going to have to worry about it. There is no need for love or romance in a marriage between nobles, so you don't have to worry about it, Mr. Austen.

What jumped out at me as words was something else entirely.

Of course, I have no intention of doing so, and I'm going to languish until Sophia-sama's engagement announcement and wedding, and then I'm going to take on the blind date with a fatter and better condition than I am now. If I do so, I am sorry to say, but my parents might give up and give me a look that would allow me to enter the convent.

My heart skipped a beat as Master Austin rolled his eyes in amazement at my words, and then he continued, "Actually, I'm sorry to hear that, but I'm afraid my parents have given up on me, and some of their eyes might even allow me to enter the convent.

I'm sure you're right," she said, "I do have a marriage proposal coming your way. So, from today until Sophia's graduation ball, I would like to try to find a partner for myself. I'm not going to be here until you find a partner, so please take care of yourself. Then, how are you doing?

It would have been nice if he had said all that he wanted to say and ran out of the room without hearing a word from Master Austin to keep him. ...... Oh, what in the world was I angry about?
