"Yes, that's right! Contact your grandfather for escort! Then I'm sure..."

"No, maybe you should stop."

I twist my neck with my eyebrows raised to Lukulu, who brightens his expression just after I came up with a brilliant idea.

Although we do not know when the convoy we called will arrive, given that my grandfather, Albert Glendrek, is the director here, it will be arranged as early as tomorrow.

The presence of an escort makes it difficult for me to move, or the effect of a “fictional phantom” is diluted by a psychological sense of security.

What Lukulu needs is anxiety, distrust, isolation, and absolute trust in me.

Even if we can't stop sending escorts, we need to guide them to a state of mind that is always suspicious.

Well, I was able to predict the reaction, so I was already thinking of measures.

"Well, why? Wouldn't it be better to have more manpower than to know that someone is after me?

"Lukul, you've just arrived at a clue. Look at this paper. What did you think?

Take Lukulu's hand and expose the piece of paper to your eyes again.

I stroked the nails of my thumb with my fingertips to calm down that trembling hand.

"... maybe someone close to me is the sender."

"But if it was someone really close by, you'd be in trouble already.

Raise your index finger to the lucle tilting your neck.

Slowly move left and right at a constant rhythm to focus on your fingertips.

"Can you imagine why you have to take these roundabouts? Relax, you'll see."

You will be guided to the answer with a gentle tone of voice and unique inhibition.

"... because you can't get anywhere near me without a reason? So you're burning me up and waiting for something?

"Yes, because I know you very well, and if I chase you down like this, I'll see what you'll do."

"No way... the guards are trying to get close to me...!?

The moment the word touches your mouth, you slap Lukulu on the shoulder and interrupt your thinking.

Lukulu opened his eyes as if he had suddenly returned to me from the comfort of his dreams and immediately exhaled a deep sigh after a brief breath.

"That's what I'm talking about. If you can't get close enough, you just keep it the way it is, and if we grab the other guy's tail, it's settled."

"Oh, yeah, that's right! What am I thinking of being a guard....."

It's okay, you're not bad.

"Roses..."

As he stroked his young grass hair, Lukulu exhaled a hot breath.

I rub my forehead against my neck like a sweet kitten to my mother.

"For the time being, let's think we're being watched and go somewhere else. Can I go upstairs today?

"Of course. Let me take the tea down to the table."

Go down the stairs with Lukulu.

Looking from the side, the students who were laughing at the table near the stairs stopped moving at once when I was escorting Lukul.

Are you confused by the appearance of a lewd Lukulu, or are you astonished by the appearance of my opponent in Lukulu, who could not see the shadow of a man?

Both possibilities are possible, but it's a little troublesome to get attention so far.

Move to the end seat and sit down.

On the way, Lucle was speaking to the maid, or in less than a few minutes, a tea set for two was brought in.

"... the chair is hard."

"I'm sorry, but I'll try to be so distracted this time."

"Roses isn't bad! I'm sure it's bad...."

He smiled at Luculle, who was about to say it might be him.

"Let's just calm down and have some tea. I've never crossed my mind, but I'm tired of doing that all the time."

That's right. Besides, if there are so many people, they won't be able to do anything about it. "

"Exactly. You know you can't escape if you put your hands on someone like yourself. So I'm sure if you're gonna do something, it's when you're alone."

Squeeze the lemon into the hot tea poured from the pot.

"Wait, Rose!

When I tried to keep my mouth shut, Lukulu stopped it in a terrible panic.

"I wonder if it's poison. If this pot is poisoned, so is Rose."

"No, that's fine."

I put tea in my mouth while saying it.

Anyway, there's no need to be scared because there's no such opponent from the beginning.

"Hey, why!

If that's what this is about, I've been doing it since the beginning.

Huh?

"There are many ways to just do harm. This has never happened before because the real purpose is not to kill."

Well then...

I lift the edge of my mouth to Lukulu's good face. [M]

I can see the enemy's aim.

With that in mind, Lukulu nodded deeply with anticipation.
