Continuity is the Father of Magical Power

"Ugh, I'm home. After all, don't worry when you get home"

When I came back to my room, I fell asleep on the floor.

"It's true... if I knew this was going to happen already, I would never give you permission"

Contrary to me in peace, Belle was very grumpy.

Well, you'd be pissed off if all that was dangerous.

"So sorry. For that matter, don't you think it's a good idea to have useful information?

I wish I hadn't met the Demon King today, because I was so scared to get information.

I don't regret it at all.

"That doesn't matter compared to Leo's life! I'm not sure I can live without Master Leo, am I?

"Wow, I get it... But it's good to know who Bell's parents were, isn't it?

It was surprising that Belle was the daughter of the Beast King, and I think it was a great harvest to learn that she was properly loved?

"Right. But it's not as important as Leo."

"Really? Don't you think Belle would like to go home?

"No. My hometown is that orphanage, and I don't want to go all the way to a place where I know it's already doomed"

Oh, this... this is getting mucky.

"Even if I could take you?

"Then it's a pity. As I have said many times, I, Master Leo, am the most important. I don't want Master Leo to do anything dangerous. Didn't the Demon King say that? Outside the empire, it's dangerous. So I'm against going outside the empire, right?

I don't know... I don't care what you say.

First of all, I need to fix my mood.

"Wow, I get it...... so when we're safe one day, shall we go?

"... then"

Oh, is that good? We found a breakthrough.

Besides, I knew you'd want to go to your birthplace.

"Okay, when that happens, do your best to make the world peaceful!

We've got a goal, and we'll do our best!

"Nothing. I don't think we need to make the world peaceful until Master Leo takes the risk... No, rather don't"

Oh, is that what you're coming for this time? Hmm... what am I supposed to do?

"Why not? It'd be more fun to have some kind of goal, wouldn't it?

Today's bell is in a difficult mood to fix......

"Not good! Dear Leo, please take care of your body a little more! Even today, be mine when the dragon shows you were about to kill me!

Oh, you saw me get blown away by a dragon...

On second thought, you left Bell worried today.

Even though demons in the Devil's Forest alone were a fear to Bell... I'm the dragon to talk and punish demon kings and reincarnators... yeah, I usually think about it and it breaks my heart.

"Sorry...... oh, he's gone"

When I realized Bell's state of mind and tried to apologize sincerely, Bell left the room.

"Oh, I don't know what to do..."

Should we go after him? Or, if we go after him, it's counterproductive?

"What if I apologize properly? Sister Elle used to say that when you upset someone, you have to go and apologize right away with your apology, right?

"Oh yeah... what do you think an apology item is? What... Lou, why are you here?

Looking back, Momoko and Lou crawled out of my bed.

"Today, I was napping in Leo's bed because I missed them all at the castle"

Oh, speaking of which, lately, Shelley and Leena have been obsessed with magic specials, and Mr. Elsie is finally busy developing the underground...

Sure, Lou would have been free. Well, on second thought, you should have taken Lou with you.

Then we should have been able to gather materials safer.

Well, I can't help but say that now.

"Yeah... what I just heard is, don't tell Elsie or Shelley and the others, okay?

"Huh? Why?

"You don't have to know that."

I know Lou is on Elsie's side and Shelley's side.

Here, if Shelley and I say something about getting mad at you, I'll definitely be on your side.

"Huh. Well, no. I'll hit you with the meat of a dragon. You fought the dragon, didn't you?

"Ooh... it's the meat of a dragon"

You think Lou's gonna offer you terms of exchange?

"Huh. When Sister Elle asked me to do something, she taught me to negotiate so that I could get the price right."

I laughed bitterly at Lou for saying that and putting his chest up, and I thought Elsie did it by accident......

"Good for you..."

"More than that, don't you have to go apologize to Bell? We have to hurry, don't we?

"Oh, I was! What do you think I should do with the apology stuff?

"Uh-huh. How about Leo's pants or something? Belle, you were collecting Leo's pants in the box under the bed like you cared?

My pants?

"Really? Are my pants worth that much?

Well, if you saw what was under the bed, you'd be doing something.

"Come on? Isn't there something for Bell?

"Yeah... I'm gonna go to Bell's for now"

Well, you better apologize for now.

SIDE: Bell

When I popped out of Master Leo's room, I was back in my room crying alone.

"Ugh... I don't like me anymore..."

I wonder why Master Leo is trying so hard to say something like water......

I say too much because I'm worried about Master Leo.

Dear Leo, you tried to fix my mood with those hands because of your kindness, but I was supposed to be in a position to ask Leo how he was feeling......

Ha, too sweet for me, sweet Leo these days......

Even if Shelley and the others admit it, I must not be merely a maid of honor.

Properly, I need to fulfill my responsibilities as a maid......

"Still, Master Leo...... how anxious do you think I was when Master Leo was blown away by the dragon? I was so anxious, so worried, you couldn't cry, could you?

From now on, I think Master Leo will have to fight people who are stronger than that...

"I'm worried, I'm worried, I can't sleep at night. What are you going to do...... Master Leo?

"Well, I wasn't going to be able to sleep alone for the time being, and it was just fine. Will you escort me to sleep from now on until peace arrives?

When I heard a voice I was used to hearing and looked back in a hurry, Master Leo's face was peeking through the door.

"Oh, I'm sorry. But you knocked, didn't you? There was no response, so when I opened the door to check, I heard voices."

"Uh..."

Did they ask you?

What should I do... How far have I been in my voice?

I was distracted by what Master Leo had asked me, and I couldn't cut out the story as I thought.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry I let you go to the Devil's Forest with my promise that I wouldn't do anything dangerous, but I did something dangerous! Duh, please... will you fix your mood?

Master Leo has apologized for kneeling to the ground and rubbing his head to the ground.

It's always like a ritual when Master Leo sincerely apologizes, and Master Leo used to say Dogeza......

"No, it's me who apologizes...... sorry to say something busy"

I panicked and apologized in the same way at Dogeza.

"No. I don't care what you think. It's my fault. So please, forgive me. I'll give you a pair of pants or anything."

"So forgive me or nothing... pants or anything? Pants?"

In unexpected words, I looked up.

You noticed that, and Master Leo looked up uncomfortably, too.

"Oh, Lou... no, I didn't say anything"

Master Leo started making excuses for something, so I glanced and shut him up.

"Really? In the meantime, scold Mr. Lou later, Dear Leo..."

"Yes... what is it? Ugh!?

I pushed Master Leo down into bed and into a horse riding position.

"Let me erase your memory, will you?

I shook my right arm up, laughing nicely.

Only this memory needs to be erased from Master Leo at all costs.

"Hey, hey, Mr. Bell? Ugh, if my arm hits people with a bee, I'm wearing a bad arm? Don't think it's a good idea to hit your husband with it."

Master Leo was in a real hurry when he saw my bestialized arm.

I'm sorry. But I need this much to fly Leo's memory...

"Hehe. If you don't remember Master Leo, everything will fit in circles."

"Hahaha. Hey, you're kidding, right? Until earlier, you said you didn't want me to do anything dangerous, did you?

"Except for that and this. Besides, you're not gonna die like I hit you, are you, Leo?

That's because it's better than finding out I'm collecting Leo's pants and smelling like shit.

"Yes, no... it doesn't change what's at stake...?

"Hehe, please be prepared and eat your teeth off"

I smiled, waving my fist down against Master Leo's face.

"Ugh!

Master Leo avoided my fist with a single hair.

I'm already a boy, so please be patient with me this much.

"How can you avoid it? Please hit it right next time, okay?

That said, I lifted my arm again.

"Bed, bed! 'Cause you're holed up!? It's harder to avoid, isn't it?

Lady Leo appeals to me, afraid of the hole I made next to my face, but I laughed and flushed.

"Hehe. That's for Leo to fix when he wakes up."

That said, I try to punch Master Leo in the face again, but I knew I was avoided.

"I can't help it if this happens anymore..."

I grabbed my face with my magically enhanced left hand.

"Oh, no... be nothing, because I don't do anything because I found out Belle cares about my pants. I respect Belle's taste, don't I?

"After all, you've found out everything, haven't you? This has to be erased sooner than Leo remembers."

Doss!!

"Hahaha...... Me, now I'm done as a maid...... haha"

I suck as a maid to beat up my husband.

I was crying with a weak laugh as I looked at my lost husband.

"I'm sorry. Dear Leo, I'm sorry...... already, I... I'm quitting my maid...... I think I'll forgive you if you're Leo. But even so, I can't work as a maid anymore"

It's very hard to be a maid.

"I'm trying not to make you aware that you like Leo, that this is the maid..."

I'm not going to be able to do a very good job of being a maid because I already have an emotion that I want to be sweet to Master Leo and an emotion that I need to hold on to because I'm a maid.

"Just so I know about my birthplace, let's quit and go on our journey alone..."

If it's the cost of the trip, I don't care with the money I've worked for.

"Right. Just fine. Dear Leo, thank you for everything."

I got out of bed, thanking Master Leo for his sleeping face.

"Oh, but at the end of the day, after I smell just a little..."

Having left a little untrained, I held onto Master Leo, who had decided to be the last and was losing his mind, and smelled as much as I could.

I will never forget this smell.

"Gotcha."

"Huh?"

I was done smelling it, and the moment I tried to get up, Leo caught me in the gutter with my head when I was supposed to have lost my mind.

"It's good to finally hear the truth."

"Duh, why?

"Belle, have you forgotten my skills?

"Oh, oh..."

Playback skills.

"I lost my mind properly, but I think I recovered in seconds"

"Ugh... please let me go"

I try my best to escape Leo's restraint, but it didn't come true to Leo's power.

"I don't like it. Then you run away, don't you?

"I should quit now!

"I don't think so, do you?

"Because no more... me, not as a maid. Dear Leo, didn't you find it disgusting to hear about your pants?

Already blown out, I waved the subject of pants to Master Leo.

'Cause I think it's disgusting what you think.

It's easier to quit if you don't like me.

"That's not true. You think I'm pissed off after a peek?

"Oh, that's..."

That return is cheating. You don't know what to say back.

"Hey, Belle? I've been saying this for a long time, but Belle's already my family. If you're with me, you're probably longer than your father or mother, and Bell's the longest with a severance. I can't live without Belle anymore. I can't even wake up in the morning."

Like a chase, Master Leo has folded up more gentle words.

"... that way, Master Leo is always kind to me even when I say my utmost. And I always get sweet. After all, I think I'm disqualified as a maid"

"I guess...... then belle, shall we quit the maid?

"Huh?"

To Master Leo's words, I was thrilled.

Despite what I've always wanted to be, when it was suggested by Master Leo's mouth, I suddenly miss him......

"Would you look after me with a regular bell, a bell as a family, not a maid's bell? That way, you can be sweet on me, never mind a maid, or a subordinate relationship, right?

"Oh, that's..."

I have myself relieved by Leo's continued words... saying I'm glad I couldn't get rid of him. After all, I want to be beside Master Leo.

But still, I shouldn't be beside Master Leo.

"Besides. I'm a lot sweet on Bell, too. I'm sweet on Bell, but I also want to be sweet. So I hope you won't mind and keep sweetening me...... And, you know, it's Belle's job to scold me, so don't worry about it around here, okay?

"Please stop convincing me now. My chest is already painful and hard."

I couldn't stop crying. I turned my eyes to Master Leo and made my final appeal.

"I can't... I, I've become too fond of Master Leo. Until now, I've had enough room in my heart to want you to be happy marrying Mr. Shelley and Mr. Leena. But...... I haven't even had room for that since Master Leo was about to die lately. I like it, I like it and I can't help it. In the future, I will marry Shelley and I am so afraid that Master Leo will leave me...... This is an emotion you shouldn't have as a maid, someone beside Master Leo. So I would like to say goodbye to Master Leo. Maybe there are survivors of the Beastmen in their homeland. So I want to live there."

That said, I poked a flash of clearance and got out of Leo's custody.

I've already told you my thoughts, and I have no regrets.

And, whining in my heart I tried to go to the door...... but soon Leo pulled my arm again and fell into bed I was hugged by Leo and caught again.

"... sorry. I didn't realize you were worried about that...... I'm so, so sorry. I was too sweet for Belle, too. At this point, I'll be clear. Belle, I love it. I want you to stay with me, even if I'm going to be your grandfather and Belle is going to be your grandmother. You don't have to be a maid or a family member... as a lover I want you to keep looking after me."

From the eyes of Master Leo, who said so, came great seriousness.

Oh, no more... so I told you not to persuade me any more...

"No more... say that... you don't know if Mr. Shelley and the others are mad at you, do you? I'm serious, aren't I?

"You don't have to be serious. That's how ready I am. So, what's Bell's answer?

Ugh...... too cheating.

I don't care what happens anymore!?

"Right. I, too, have decided to be prepared for Mr. Shelley to get mad at me. I will continue to sweeten your eyes, so please be prepared, okay?

"Oh, thank you... this is so sweet."

"Hehe... a lover... Um... Dear Leo, can I just say my utmost?

"What? Fine"

"Could you give me a kiss for the rest of the day?

All this time, all this time, I've wanted you to be Master Leo, the kiss before bed I dreamed of while sleeping with him many times... I asked for momentum.

"On the contrary? Then I will."

Gentle enough to say chuh when I meditate on my eyes, Master Leo kissed me.

"Hehe, thank you. Good night."

I opened my eyes and closed my eyes again, holding Master Leo as I was, because I was getting sleepy because of the tiredness of the day and a lot of crying and relief.

"Good night."

Then my consciousness went far as I was healed by Master Leo's gentle voice and the feeling of my hand stroking my head.
