Esther continued her words, shaking her shoulders with a red face.
"... actually, I saw... me, Marc and Celine doing it."
"What, did you see that?
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to sneak a peek! I'm so sorry!"
Suddenly Esther lowered her head momentarily. I didn't mean to be so angry, but I'm so sorry I pulled a little.
"No, no... The portal crystal is a public place, and if they see it, it's our fault. Don't worry about it."
Esther leaked a trembling voice with her head down to my words.
"Yu, will you forgive me?
"Fine. Is that why you raised your head? Right?"
"Yeah, Arigado, gushu...."
Esther rubbed her nose with her head raised slowly. My eyes also seem to be moist. He was driven to blame more than I thought.
I could have prevented it if Nicolas had kept an eye on him in the first place. We'll have to pursue it later if we can't keep an eye out.
"Um, so why are you suddenly talking about this?
"Ah, look at that... And I wanted you to make me a mark."
"Why?"
"I wanted to know more about Mark than I do now, and I wanted to get along."
He said he wanted to get along better on his way home after defeating Green Fox. Well, if we refine the portal stones together, we'll simply stay together longer and get along for a minute. But...
"If you don't hurry, you should get along a little bit better than before.
"Yeah, I'm not in a hurry. But when I saw Marc being Celine, I envy you, and I want you to do it... that's what I thought. Isn't that why...?
Does Celine still feel envious that she wants to finish the refining quickly in three months?
It is true that Ester has been working on refining for many years, and it may be helpless to feel that way.
But Esther must have refined the portal crystal with her tricks.
If it's almost finished, I think it's better to make it all by myself than to finish it crisply with my hands.
After all, the results that I built alone will lead to confidence in the future, and it should be an irreplaceable experience. I can't easily accept it because of Estelle.
"But, Esther. You've been doing this all by yourself, haven't you? So just a little....."
"Fuaaaaaaaa!? Well, it's mean to say that! That's right, I'll do that alone...."
I wonder if Estelle raised her voice and she crouched down a little.
And the tingling stopped moving while holding her knees, and she finally crouched down after a while. He looked up at me with a gaze. That face is bright red at the height of the past.
"... hey, Mark, if you're alone, you can't? I've done it before. Don't you want to be with me?
Esther asked me with tears. After all, I was doing it by myself, but if I was asked again whether I was going to go to the lazy side now, is there anything to be ashamed of? I don't think you should be embarrassed enough to cry.
"Huh? No, it's not normal to do it alone, and everyone does it. I don't care about that. Celine used to do this all by herself?
"That's right. My mom said we'd all do it alone... I'm glad...."
Esther stood up while rubbing her eyes. I'm not going to let that excuse me because I've been purifying it myself.
But, um, the magic supply to Esther...
Ester must have been refined in a portal crystal with a windy mana.
If the previous battle with Evil Funger had given Mana more confidence in the wind, she would have easily come up with the idea of chopping it with wind magic.
Okay, this is Esther's selfishness, and if this happens, I'll say one more selfishness.
"Okay. I'll make it an ester."
"Oh, really!?
"Instead, I'll get you a drink."
Well, what is it?
There was a sound of reddish ester swallowing up my spit.
"Is Celine okay with this?
In any case, it would be better for me to train myself to use another mana at the same time. It also reduces time.
"Eh!? With Celine? Bo, I'm embarrassed about that...."
If you saw the magic supply, you might have seen the disturbed Celine. I wonder if Estelle herself knows that it is possible for her to do so. Well, I know it's embarrassing when Celine sees it.
"Esther, you can't do this if you're embarrassed. Besides, it's Estelle's selfishness, so it's a bit more than Celine's."
Is it cheap to say this way? But I want to do magic training anyway. Training to activate mana at the same time is exciting just thinking about it.
"Yeah, no! Well, I'm not leaving Celine behind! I don't want to be Marc's best friend."
"Best of all? Well, it doesn't matter if we work together? Perhaps it's just right."
I see. It was nice to be alone with Marc for the first time... But, yeah, if you're with Celine, you're not scared... "
I don't know when I saw the magic supply, but it scares me when I saw it. But Estelle is not as clever as Celine. We have to be very careful.
"It's okay. I'll be gentle."
"Absolutely.
"Yeah, I'll take care of it."
"Thank you, Marc. I believe it....."
When Esther puts her hand on her chest, she moisturizes her eyes again and mutters. I knew you were worried.
"Haha, I'm pretty used to it already. Don't worry."
"No, I knew it. Marc is amazing... So, um... When and where will you be?
"Yeah? Of course it's a portal crystal for lunch. Maybe tomorrow."
"No, I'll do it there at lunch. My mom said that there are people who like that...."
"Who else would have done it? Well, there are a lot of people at night. Cerine and I can't show it to anyone, and it's Celine and I who think we can concentrate in the afternoon."
"Uh-huh. All right, all right. Please, soften your hands."
I nodded loudly to Esther, who had her hands lined up in front of me and mysteriously lowered her head.
