Her Royal Highness Seems to be Angry

A few days after doing his research in the large library room, Leticiel was once again visiting the large library room of the Lucrezia School. Today it is not an examination, but finally to repair the clock.

"Hello"

As Leticiel entered the big library, Zeke, who was here first, turned around and smiled at this one. He is here to help fix the clock, of course.

"Thank you for waiting"

Greeting with the clock in his arms, Leticiel shifted his gaze to the box he kept by Siege.

The box lid is open. Tools such as Leticiel not sure from that gap glance at his face with chills. Leticiel approached the tool box and took the tool he had placed at the top of his hand.

"I don't know... you have a lot of tools"

"Yeah. I brought it from my parents' house, but I thought maybe I could use it to fix the clock."

Sieg smiles calmly. Speaking of which, he was doing a lot of repairs to spinning machines and stuff, he said then.

"Is Zeke familiar with how the clock works?

"No, I studied for myself, but not so..."

"Then should I have a book about how it works? I'm going to check out a few books."

That's what Leticiel says and heads to the bookshelf where the Kalacri related books are arranged. I've been reading a few books the other day that might help me fix my watch.

"That's about enough for one second."

"Yep. But is this all enough parts..."

"Right...... I hope it's not missing."

Place the three books you brought on your desk with a dsuch, and Leticiel sits across from Zeke. Thus began the repair of the clock while searching by hand.

"Is this... is it here?

"No, maybe we'll fit the gizzard parts before then?

"Then... where does this disc go in?

"Isn't it this way? 'Cause it's next to this gear, right?

We had some hard times because we were new to clock repair each other, but sometimes David's advice came to see how things were going, and the repairs went a little but surely.

"All you have to do is put this on... done"

Put in the last part and laugh joyfully with the look that Zeke has done it. The sun was already about to set outside. Leticiel also sighed with a paragraph of repair for a moment.

"Didn't Zeke actually fix the clock before?

"No, it's my first time. But there were some things that were a little similar to how spinning machines worked, so it was difficult, but I learned."

Lift the clock and Zeke makes a final check to see if there are any missed fixes.

"Now if you roll Zenmai...... I hope it works properly."

"Can I roll it up?

"I don't mind."

I smiled softly and Zeke handed me the watch. I received the beautifully repaired stowage clock thoroughly, and Leticiel twirled the Zenmai on the back of the clock.

Zenmai winds up, along with the unique sound of Gi. After about a few rolls, the time that had stopped on the dial moved pickly and began to move katikati to wake up from sleep.

……

When I saw it, some sight passed through Leticiel's brain.

The sight, glimpsed like a flash, was like a courtyard somewhere.

At the end of the young Drossel's gaze is the hindsight of a boy struggling to repair his watch. There were other wooden toys, tools, drawings, etc. scattered around the boy.

Drossel in memory reaches out to the boy's back. The boy tried to turn this way, where Leticiel's point of view only dimmed for a moment. She unwittingly supports her body with both hands about her desk.

"... Huh! Miss Drossel!? Are you ok!?

Suddenly, to Leticiel, who tilted his body about, Sieg kicked Gatan and the chair and stood up, supporting Leticiel's shoulder with both hands.

He controlled Sieg as he peered into his face worried, and Leticiel shook his neck quietly beside him to reassure him.

"It's okay. I'm just a little dizzy."

"Shouldn't you lie down?

"That's not true. Don't worry."

Sieg still had a worrying look on his face, but he respected what Leticiel had to say.

Leticiel kept his eyes closed for a while to calm his mind, but slowly opened his eyelids as he calmed down.

"Are you feeling dizzy yet?

"Yeah, I'm fine now"

Sitting back on the chair, Leticiel pointed to the clock that was sounding catchy.

"The clock is fixed, shall we return it after this"

"Right, I can't help postponing it. Then I'll come with you."

That said, Zeke started cleaning up the tools he used to fix it. Retissiel also returns the book he brought out of the bookshelf to where it was originally.

After a while, after all the cleaning up, Sieg and Leticiel left the school to head to the example grocery store.

Leaving the school, Leticiel wore the hooded feathers he had brought and wore the hood in the eye. I came here today with plain clothes because I'm fixing my watch, but on the contrary, that was convenient.

Walking about 10 minutes under Siege's guidance, Leticiel came in front of that brick shop.

"Hello -"

In the store, of course, but not the same as a few days ago. There was no one at the counter, but I heard a "yes" from the back, and the manager showed up sneaky.

"Welcome...... Ah, Sieg-kun! Besides, the previous customer..."

The manager opened his eyes to his surprise when he saw the Leticiers. To the consolidating manager, Leticiel gives him the watch he had in his hand.

"I've finished fixing my watch, so I'm here to give it back"

To Leticiel's words, how incredible was the store manager, he stared at the clock so hollow.

But when I saw that needle did mark the hour, I received the clock with a howling grin that seemed important.

"You really fixed it...... thank you, I can't thank you enough"

"Say thank you to Sieg. Because he's the one who fixed it."

The manager's son ran patsy from behind the counter, not the same as the manager went to talk to Sieg.

"Sister! Thanks!"

That's what I said most of the time, and the boy jumped all over Leticiel's leg. Leticiel gazes at the boy and smiles flutteringly.

"You're welcome. But say thank you to your brother over there."

"Yeah! Thank you, Sieg brother!

"Now you take care of it."

He strokes the boy's head in a pompous manner and Sieg says in a gentle tone. The boy also nodded his full strength with a full grin, but stared up at Leticiel with his eyes that said something.

"What's going on?

"You know, sister, thank you for this!

That being said, what the boy has been offering for a long time was a box just big enough to hold it with both hands.

"...? What's this?

"It's Orgol!

……

When I was looking into Karakuri, I also think I read about a machine called Orgol in a book. Sure, you think it's an object that plays songs automatically?

"This kid said he wanted to thank me with this orgol if he could fix his watch. Take it if you like."

The manager said as he stroked his son's head. The boy stares at us with his eyes mixed with expectations and anxiety. Leticiel smiled small at the look and received an orgol from his hand.

"Thank you, I'll take care of it. That's cute and lovely."

"Eh heh."

Thanking him, the boy hung up happily.

"Please come back anytime, I'll be waiting for you"

"Thank you"

At the foot of the manager, who bowed with a pepper, the boy was booming and jumping with both hands.

"Brother! Sister! Not again!

"Yeah, bye."

Waving back at the store manager and his son, who were happy to wave, Leticiel and Sieg left the store behind. The sky is already stained with cedar, and the streets are filled with people rushing home.

"It's already this time..."

"Yes, it's too late, and I'll send it to you."

"Then let me sweeten your words"

Nodding at Sieg's offer, Leticiel walked out of the city at dusk with him. A busy hustle and bustle at dusk runs through between them.

"Why is Zeke so machine-resistant?

Leticiel asked Sieg, who was lined up beside him, curious as people walked the sparse boulevard.

"My parents' house is a sheep ranch. That's why I've been touching yarn wheels and textiles for a long time."

"Was it? What do you have, for example?

"Right...... the most famous thing is still a weaver. Using a weaving machine increases both work efficiency and production and is always helpful. I prefer to weave with my hands."

"You said you liked hair and textiles before."

"Yeah, it's one of the fun things I've had since I was a kid. It's funny."

I narrow my eyes as Sieg nostalgic as I watch the gradual setting sunset.

"It's funny how the clock works. I feel like I can apply a lot, and I want to learn more."

"Does Zeke have something he wants to do?

"Yeah, I want to modify the spinning machine. It's manual now, but I think it would be a little easier for people in my hometown if I could use other motives."

Sieg's side talking about his parents' house and textiles was sparkling and seemed like a lot of fun.

I also thought when I was talking to Eddie before, I guess he really likes textiles and his hometown thing. The look smiles, and Leticiel spills a flutter and a grin.

That's how Leticiel casually watched the city as he talked to Sieg about a world without other love.

I've only been here twice, but once again, the city is full of interesting things. It's completely different from the city a thousand years ago, and it's just like Leticiel doesn't even know.

Until a moment ago, Leticiel used metamagic to just go back and forth between the Duke's residence and the school, but looking at the city of Nirvurne in this way, I think I should have walked more on my own feet.

(Should I use metastases less often from now on...?

Life just goes back and forth from home to school is sure to be fine in this day and age. Because there's still a pile of things in this world that Leticiel doesn't know.

"... Ah, lady!

It was just when I crept through the south gate of Wang Du. Looking around at the butterflies and approaching footsteps, Luvik was rushing over here as he seeped sweat into his forehead.

"Luvik...? Why are you here?

Leticiel pats his eyes on the person who is supposed to be in the mansion. How hurried he is to come, Luvik is breathing on his shoulders.

"Are you okay? Shouldn't you rest?

"... it's okay. Better yet, ma'am, get back to the mansion now. We need a customer."

"... Customer?

As Leticiel was Kyoton, Sieg, who was beside him, looked alternately at her and Luvik and said:

"Now I beg your pardon."

"Yeah, thanks for sending me"

"No. Then be careful"

Smiling small and meeting, Sieg walked down the sun-dyed boulevard. Dropping it off, Luvik called out like he was in a hurry.

"Ma'am, come here quickly. We're waiting for the carriage."

Seeing the side of the street in Luvik's words, Leticiel's carriage was stopped there. What the hell happened at the Mansion that Luvik would reveal his impatience so far?

Leticiel throws Ruvik a question as he walks toward the carriage.

"Hey, what's going on in such a hurry? That much for an important customer?

"Yes. Hurry up, ma'am. My sister... Saligna is here!

"... to?

And to Luvik's words, which he hadn't made a prediction, Leticiel accidentally uttered a dumb voice.
