Endo and Kobayashi’s Live Commentary on the Villainess

Tsunrize Animation Planning is in progress.

I would be glad if you could take a look at the Recent Developments Notebook.

――――――――――――――――――――――

The night when Liesellotte, who had fainted at school, was carried home by Siegwald.

Riesellotte was about to visit the study of her father, the Marquis of Bruno Riefenstahl.

After a light knock, she accepted and opened the door. As she had asked the butler in advance, my father finished his duties for today and was resting on the sofa.

"Excuse me, Father."

"Oh, Leaze, what's the matter?" Are you feeling better already? "

Bruno asked worriedly when he visited his daughter who had just fallen today.

"There's no problem, Father." I've had a long nap, so I feel rather energetic and restless. ”

"Well, that's fine..." "Oh, for now, just call me here."

Bruno, who seemed still curious about Liselotte's reply with a clean look, urged her daughter to hang there by showing the opposite end with her hand from the edge of the three-seater sofa that she was sitting on.

After bowing her head lightly, Liesellotte sat down alongside her father.

Then she took a breath and bowed her head to him again.

“I'm sorry I caused you so much worry.”

"No, I don't have to apologize." Rather, I'm sorry. I was just reflecting on it. I left Leaze to take care of the house.... "

"No, it's not your father's fault." What happened this time was that my dreams... no, my loosening of my mind led me to it. "

Bruno lowered his eyebrows in embarrassment at Liesellotte, who insisted on blocking his father's words.

"That's not true." I'm sure Leaze feels that way because she's too responsible. Even though we have a responsibility as fiancées of the school and your highness, it is our fault for relying on you. I'll make some changes from now on. "

“No, you don't have to. Recently, my mother has been full of vitality, and she and Elizabeth have been taking on social activities together. At least the house is not a burden right now. Rather, please take it for granted that you will be the future prince's concubine."

Bruno leaked a sigh to his proud daughter, who asserted that she was stretching her spine and spine.

"Leaze, well, all the people of Leifenstahl are like that, but there is a stubbornness that will never be overturned once you decide to do it...."

Bruno, who had said so much, nodded with a face that did not hide that he was unwilling for the time being.

"Okay, thank you, I'll leave you to it." But don't push yourself too hard. I'm sure your Highness and I are worried because we love Leaze. "

I-I don't care about you, my lord!

Bruno seems to have caught on to the part of "I don't care" and leans his neck against Riesellotte, who instantly denied it with a bright red face.

"No, indeed, your Highness is kind." Therefore, I'm sure that the fact that my fiancée who I knew from a young age collapsed in front of me caused a lot of trouble, but...... Yes, that's right! I came to your father to discuss today's apology! "

"As far as I can see today, I don't think your Highness can think of Leaze as just a contractual partner..." Oh, I see. Is it awkward or embarrassing to talk about being in love with a boyfriend or a boyfriend? ”

With a red face, Bruno nodded in a relaxed tone to Liesellotte, who was trying to change her story in a hurry.

"Oh, no."

Bruno nodded to Riesellotte, who was increasingly revealing his agitation, with a gentle gesture that seemed to say, "I know."

"Oh, that was an apology." I see. His Highness said it was okay, but I have to thank you for everything, including his servants. ”

"That's true, though. I brought it out, but before I tell you the story! Father, I disrespect your Highness! Our bond is just a fixed one, and it's my one-sided feeling to be in love...!"

"Oh, my ears hurt. Yeah, I was the first person to tell you that.... I'm sorry about that, too."

"Oh, no, no.... what are you talking about?"

After murmuring with a bitter expression, Liselotte leaned her neck into confusion as Bruno stretched her spine and lowered her head.

Bruno raised his head and smiled at his daughter, who didn't know what she was apologizing for.

"I'm glad Leaze made my dreams come true." All I want to apologize for is saying something like watering your dreams. You shouldn't ask for His Majesty's love. I think now I've told Leaze a very tough thing at a very young age..... "

That's what Bruno said. I don't know how to put words on my back that seem to have gotten smaller, and Liesellotte is just drowsy.

"Don't bother your Highness, that's what I thought from the bottom of my heart, but that's not all." Speaking of which, Leaze, thinking of His Highness, said that she would be forced to push her feelings in. I think it was cowardly. However, all the people in Riefenstahl are loving or overthinking. Jealousy is fierce, and I don't know what to do with my passion. That's why, as a royal servant and as your father, I stuck a nail in your face. "

In Bruno's words, what came to Riselotte's mind was that scene she saw in [Nightmare].

[If this love does not come true, it will all perish] The end of my thoughts that I grew up in is a nightmare-like scene of destruction.

Bruno continued to repent without noticing his daughter, who had suddenly turned pale.

"However, this is probably half of the reason." I'm also Riefenstahl. For the sake of her beloved daughter, she will be as opposed to the royal family. I'm not going to stand up for Leaze, but if I have to, I'm going to stand by you. It is not unacceptable....... I didn't want Leaze to hurt me more than anything. "

I couldn't see the expression on my father's face from Liesellote, who was looking up at Bruno's words that were spun out.

His hands, which covered his face with lamentation, trembled as if he were crying.

"I was afraid that Leaze would talk about love and ask for love, and that His Highness would respond to that and that the two of them would develop love. It may be discarded or dissolved due to changes in circumstances associated with years such as political strategy engagement, but if such a thing happens after love has grown up smoothly, it will be a tragedy.... my brother and sister-in-law's mourning was painful, even when they watched it from the sidelines."

"... I guess so."

Her daughter, who knew her father's unchanging love for her brother, who had grown up before Liesellotte was born, only briefly acknowledged Bruno's words.

Regret, bitterness, giving up. Bruno raises his face as he exhales for a long time, as if he were exhaling something heavy in his heart, all of which he can feel.

Then he lightly sat back on the sofa and turned to Riezerotte.

"In fact, you guys had a little bit of that story around April, didn't you?" His Highness listened to the voice of God, and now that Leaze has received the favor of God, their engagement is the cornerstone. "

"Yes, it's all thanks to the mercy of the gods." I am truly grateful for it. "

Riesellotte nodded with a serious expression, and once again offered a prayer of gratitude to the gods of the other world.

Her complexion, which reminded her of the gods, had improved as if she had waved through [Nightmare].

“Love grown up turns into mourning of its size if lost. Besides, if you ask your Highness for love, you could be rejected, and that would hurt you. Both possibilities can be eliminated if we divide between politics and politics. Conversely, if you continue to dream indissolubly, in the unlikely event that your dream does not come true, the thought and effort that you put into realizing that dream will turn into a blade that tears your heart apart, stabbing you as deeply as you thought it would come true. That's what I thought.... so I tried to crush your dream while it was still a shallow wound."

Bruno, who regretted it with a painful expression of remorse, mocked himself and let out a sigh as his shoulders lost strength.

"In the end, everything was useless and worrying." I'm glad you don't have to worry about it. And now that I know it was a useless worry, it means that all I said at the time was that I mischievously hurt you.... I'm really, really sorry. "

"No, I don't need an apology." In other words, Father, you said earlier that it was as if my dream had come true, but there was some kind of misunderstanding..... "

"Haha. When you're so shiny, it's kind of ticklish." Whatever it is, even if you can't force your Highness's favor from the beginning, it doesn't mean that you can't accept the favor that your Highness will give you. I naturally want my daughter to get along with me. "

I know. It's embarrassing to talk about love with your father.

With that said, Bruno lightly raised Riselotte's objection, turning into a bright smile, tapping his daughter's shoulder.

"Leaze, be a little more honest." Honestly, I'm happy to be happy with the happiness I've been given. Although Leaze is strong, she is still a child to me. "

"...... ah"

Liesellotte's cheeks reddened to the brim with certainty and affectionate words from her father.

The expression on Bruno's face, who was smiling at her, made a shadow.

"... well, until then, I'll be told what I'm going to say when I bully you even younger than I am now." I'm really, really sorry... "

"No, please don't apologize anymore." In other words, your Highness's patronage is something that I think is interesting recently, but... oh no! Anyway, thank you. "

Didn't you know the limits of shame or what to say?

Bruno giggles as though there were a lot of words that came to his mind, and Bruno looks like Liesellotte, who eventually returned only a word of gratitude.

"Well, it was about today's thank you." It is late at night. Let's get down to business. "

Bruno cut out his hand as he switched air.

Liesellotte nodded her head and mended her expression. However, the face was still slightly red.

"Yes, that's right. Well, your Highness was in my room, but who carried me from school to the Mansion? It would have been a terrible burden if I hadn't thanked you very much..."

"There is no such person, so I will give the servant a suitable light gift." I've heard that only His Highness Siegwald carried you. Your Highness seems to have come to hug you without giving up on anyone since he supported Leaze who fell at school. "

"Hah!? All the time!? What do you mean!? What were the others doing, such as putting so much strain on His Highness!”

Bruno, who replied "Sara", broke the expression that had just been picked up by Liesellotte, and grabbed him by the nose.

"Of course I offered to replace you, Mr. Finne, Mr. Barr, and those of us who were in your carriage." They refused us all. I've been told I'm not going to keep my fiancée in someone else's arms. "

Fufufu, smiling, Bruno said, Liesellotte's face reddened, blued, and wandered with growing agitation.

"Y-yeah, that's right....... no, what should I do?" No way, no way, I've been in your arms forever. Now then...... ahhh! "

Bruno tilted his head to Liesellotte, who had literally held his head in her arms.

"Oh...? I hear you've been asleep, but do you remember doing something?"

"... I can't say."

"Did you do something you can't say...?"

Bruno, the warmer, asked, and Liesellotte, with her face lifted up, wept at the purple crystal eyes.

"Because, because... I thought it was your father." The only thing I remember being carried up is that my father gave it to me at a young age. I like that fluffy feeling of dreams and depression, and it's an important memory to remember that I've been asleep several times. So, do you say that it was impressive, or do you say that you did the same thing..... "

Bruno narrowed his eyes at Liesellotte, who complained half-weepy.

"Oh, that's right. It was my job to carry you up when you fell asleep in the wrong place. [M] That was adorable. Leaze doesn't usually come sweet, but she just stops sweetly, like a kitten who wants to warm up...... Oh, is that it?"

Bruno asks when he thinks of what Riesellotte said that she can't say, and Riesellotte nods weakly.

"... yes, that's right. I don't care if you carry me... ahhhh!" I want it to be my imagination! It was in a dream, and my body wasn't actually moving..... "

"I don't think so, so I think you're holding your head."

"... yes. Perhaps I did." But, ah, I think if you carry it lightly but carefully everywhere, I can't help but make a mistake, pouring out a loving gaze and creating an atmosphere of compassion, as comfortable as your father's! "

"Yeah, I don't think I can help it. In other words, I don't think your Highness cares about the extent of it, or I just feel as cute as I used to be."

That's not how it works!

"Haha, I bet you said it yourself. I don't know anymore. Calm down, Liesellotte."

Liesellotte, who was caught in the mouth several times by Bruno, who was calm, shut her mouth with a small groan.

"It's okay, Leaze." As I did to you, Your Highness was carrying you around like a beloved and dear. To the extent that I think your dream has come true. "

"That's not true..." Your Highness is the one who doesn't show his emotions. If you don't do what the gods tell you, it won't be easy to show your kindness. That too, in public, etc. I'm sure your father didn't seem to want that to happen. I graciously approached His Highness, who was holding me for rescue. This is an objective fact. Oh, what do I say... "

With his father's consolation, Liesellotte denied it all the time.

Bruno sighed like such a daughter.

"It's a terrible backward look. I wonder if you're tired after all. Well, I don't think so, but even so, your Highness is not as narrow as he might think in his actions in the absence of human consciousness, which was weak enough to fall. Besides, if you were uncomfortable, you'd have left Leaze to someone else. You didn't, so at least you're not upset, are you?”

"... is that so?"

Oh, yeah.

"Yes, I hope so..."

"You can take the thank-you gift directly to your Highness for confirmation."

Bruno told Riesellotte that he had finally calmed down.

I-Is that me?

Bruno naturally returned it to Riesellotte, who showed a slight upset.

It all started with your poor health, so you need to look better than you recovered, right?

"That's true, though....... I don't have a face to match your Highness because I may have done such a shameful thing."

"It's okay, it's nothing to be ashamed of." When you hold Leaze asleep, she looks strangely young...... No, rather than that, you usually look tense, or even tighter than your age, can you solve it? Anyway, it looks so cute. I'm sure your Highness will too..... "

"That's what I think because I'm the father!" Mostly, back then, I was young, small, and... more than anything, it was light. That's cute, isn't it? But now I'm tall, I'm growing, I'm getting a lot of flesh, I'm... much heavier. Your Highness is transporting me to you...! "

"Ahh, the cause of embarrassment is the maiden's heart." However, when you hold a woman who is not fat, if you feel burdened, you can only mourn for your lack of training. "

"That's the only logic of the martial arts, no, Riefenstahl...!" Oh, I wish it was Bal who carried me! If I were Baru, it would be like my brother, even though I would be mistaken for my father from a very similar sense of security...! "

Your Highness would be jealous if Bal was holding Leaze and you did something sweet.

Your Highness can't be jealous!

Bruno laughs in the back of his throat, hopelessly, at his daughter, who my father has been trying to follow several times.

Well, I'll ask you to sort out your feelings by the time I see you, so let's talk about something to thank you for right now.

"That's right, that's right. An honorarium and an apology. I wonder if there is anything to match the burden placed on His Royal Highness the Prince so far..."

"Your Highness, I don't think you feel so burdened." She told me not to worry about it either. That's why, I think you liked the ribbon, so why don't you send me some small items embroidered by Leaze? "

If it's something I'm giving you, I'd like three months to produce it.

"Well then, it's too late for that." I think you should show your cheerful figure right away. Well then, take some sweets and have some tea with you. "

"Does that mean you'll be exploring what your Highness wants at the tea ceremony?"

My father and my daughter, who seem to be trying to talk lightly, are always serious.

The conversation between the two of them, who were not subtly engaged, continued for a while.

"Your Highness's desired item, hey." Yeah, one thing he'll want, I think I have a plan for the treasure in my house. As long as you give it away, even if it's all written off, it's a treasure that's so important that you want to get a lot of fishing. ”

Bruno said that it was rough on the wipe.

Liesellotte glanced at her father's face and tilted her neck.

"Treasure, is it...? Whether it is the sword of the master or not, if it is for my disrespectful apology at this time, I would like to offer it..."

"Hmm, but it's more important than that." However, the treasure is already planned to be yours someday, or in a sense, your Highness's..... "

Liesellotte twisted her neck more and more in response to the words of her father.

"Yes, I don't think your Highness will be able to tell you about our treasure any time soon." That's not why Leaze doesn't want to get sick anymore. Think only of the sweets you will take with you and the dress of the day. Yeah, but don't worry about it today, and sleep early. You can't fall again. "

"... I see. That treasure?" This is the responsibility of my father, who is the head of our family. I'll take care of it. Thank you very much. "

Bruno summed it up, and although it still seemed appropriate, Liselotte finally pulled back.

The gaze of his father towards his daughter, who nodded and agreed, stares right at the beads in his palm.

Then, when Bruno urged him to go to bed early, Liesellotte left, greeting him with a correct resignation.

My father stared at the door that my daughter had left and murmured to himself.

"I'm sure your Highness will tell me that you want me to marry Leaze, my family's treasure, soon." But even if there are four of them, oh no, even if there are five of them, including Mr. Finne, every daughter is a treasure that is dear to her heart. I don't really want to use this as an apology, and I want to stay at home as long as I can. "

Bruno says that, then turns around and smiles like he's been blown away.

"However, being with Her Highness is the dream she wants." I'm a shameful father, but this time I won't spill water. If your Highness wishes, I will help you....... please, let's be together, Leaze. "

My father's deepest prayer resounded on the autumn evening, small but sure.
