I saw the look on Master Crest's face back at the salon and shook 'Marie' 's body a little exaggerated.

The glance of a green cylinder stone that disrupted only a little bit of lustrous golden hair and frozen this one's blood watching with no expression was like the use of God who, while still sinning man. Something called too neat beauty is really compelling.

Is the flame that lights in its eyes an emotion of anger?

If an intolerant person sees it, that's what it looks like to run away barefoot, but unfortunately it's intolerable to me, and to Mr. Carl, too.

(I don't deny I'm scared, though)

Thinking with a cold head, 'Marie' put the upset on the table.

Yes, this bet won't screw up at all. If I get upset myself, magic will affect me, and above all, my body in my arms will react. I can't do that.

Master Crest, holding my body, settled down on the couch opposite 'Marie' and Mr. Carl.

"How's Marie over there?

Mr. Carl asked with a smile. This guy is really amazing! What kind of nerve is it to have such a scary Crest in front of you and be funny?

"... before I do, I need to ask you something"

"What is it?

"Are you sure you're going to adopt that Marie?

"I wonder what that means"

Master Crest sat my body next to himself, like dealing with broken goods. I let myself fall to the side of my body, which was losing its strength.

Somehow, I get embarrassed and take my body out of 'Marie' 's sight. It just took the form of a caring look at Mr. Carl, so it would turn out to be O'Rei.

"I don't know how much you understand, but my Marizia is next door. Marie's not worth a lot to me."

To that word, I let 'Marie' 's body rise.

"Why would you say that? Are you saying that if there was a doll, not me?

What floats is a look mixed with pathetic and regretful faces.

Moving 'Marie' properly that way, I heard myself questioning "what are you doing" somewhere in my mind.

He chose me properly. And yet you're being mean?

- Maybe you think a doll would be fine.

That's not true. Properly he is discerning.

- Yeah. It's about him, so shake it up, he must be waiting for me to get the bollocks out.

"Marizia"

Master Crest's eyes stare straight at 'Marie'.

It's like I'm being seen myself through 'Marie' and I'm restless.

Don't look at me like that./Find me.

Conflicting minds flatter each other.

Marizia, listen carefully.

Master Crest stroked my brittle black hair like a rustle and comb.

I'm not sure which Marie you're telling before I embarrass you about that behavior.

"I told you before. Even if you're in disguise, there's no way you could have seen the person you lived with wrong."

That line that sounds familiar is the answer when you hear why Nicole found out it was me in a carriage from Deventio.

"When you were in magic, did you think I'd see the only 'prayer' wrong?

The light in those emerald eyes is undoubtedly anger emotions. But I was noticed that the meaning was very different.

I thought they told me not to underestimate me.

"Marie," she realised, was sitting back on the couch again, and tears were pouring down from Marie's eyes, which had been brought to Master Crest.

Ah.

Why is this guy here?

Really, look at me, so much,... look at me, I guess.

The outcome of the bet is already clear.

Let's give up and name this mocking, obscure emotion.

"... Dear Crest"

I lifted my own lid. Move your neck and stare at his face sitting next to you.

"Well, thank you for finding me"

My voice was shaking slightly.

"And I'm sorry I did something to try"

His expression remains unchanged, neither in words of gratitude nor in words of apology. Does that mean it was all a prospect?

"Dear Crest...?

"What?"

The voice is still somewhere grumpy.

I haven't lost my temper around my eyes.

I was afraid that I might not be forgiven for how much more I apologized than I did for doing this, but I didn't regret it.

Finally, name that emotion and tell. Because it must be definitely under this name.

"- I, Mr. Crest, like,"

That was the heart that told him with a great deal of determination after the beating that risked his life, but without concealing his surprise, Master Crest opened his eyes, exactly three seconds later, he stood up covering his mouth and punched his fist against the wall.

◇ ◆ ◇

"Hahahahaha!

My thoughts were annoying, or the fact that I tried him touched the scales, and my ears were spilled with tears, so much laughter that there was no more.

"Hey, really, abdominal pain... torture?

Words that sound uninterrupted don't make any sense.

Then, when Master Crest, who had been hitting the wall, returned, he grabbed Mr. Carl's chest, who kept laughing.

"Hey, ma, wait, no, really, sorry? No, I, too, don't laugh, abs, to the limit, I'm horrible, so..."

You can't cure the laughter, between the voices of Mr. Carl, who bounces, you and Hiuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

I wipe the tears I pulled in surprised and gently attach my hand to 'Marie' 's chest when I stand up. By severing the effects of the sorcery formation, I returned to the appearance of 'Marie' with red tea hair that did not resemble mine. By the way, the illusion I put on myself cuts at the same time as I see the outcome of the bet.

When I looked next to it, confirming that I had properly 'Marie' 's appearance back, I saw Carl's blue face in difficulty breathing, either because of the laughter or because of Master Crest, so I rushed in to stop Master Crest.

"No. Mr. Carl will die."

I was supposed to grab around Master Crest's wrist, but somehow I was grabbed by the wrist and pulled a lot bigger. As the momentum stood, my body was trapped in Master Crest's arms.

Wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh.

When I had no choice but to borrow 'Marie' 's sight, I saw Carl, who had been let go, holding his own chest and getting his breath ready.

"Uh, you guys, it's really too funny to watch."

When he saw himself resting on the couch, Crest held me and returned to the couch across the street himself. I'm not even allowed to move, I can't help it, so I'll borrow 'Marie' 's sight to watch.

"Shut up. - So you're willing to adopt Marie over there?

The eyes of Mr. Crest, who sees Hiraki and "Marie," are very cold. After all, I guess I and 'Marie' are treated completely differently in him.

"No? I mean, it's Marie herself we're gonna adopt, right?

"Do you think I'll allow that?"

"Hmm. Even if they say so. Because it's the result of a deal with him."

In those words, my body shook up tingly without hiding the upset.

"Marie?"

What gets dropped in my ear is the voice that's pregnant with anger.

But I was ashamed to speak with my voice close to his chest, and I decided to borrow 'Marie' 's mouth.

"Dear Crest. I made that deal at my discretion. In return for your cooperation in this case."

"Speak with your own mouth"

When I saw Master Crest staring at "Marie," Carl offered me a help boat, saying, "It's hard to talk about in that position."

It's nice that you finally loosened your arms, but the distance is close.

No, I'm used to close proximity, but isn't it difficult to confess something backwards? Besides, on second thought, I'm in the condition of being on Master Crest's lap...?

"I'm sorry I made a discretionary decision without consulting you.... but if I don't, I can't face my feelings properly."

My feelings, and I just said it, somehow I was misplaced in my face again.

After all, was it annoying? This feeling.

"Crest, because you lock yourself in your room and take your freedom, it's time for Marie to realize."

- It's not like you're gonna tell me.

Mr. Carl glanced at his shoulder with a glance of ice from Master Crest.

"By and large, Viscount Bartove allowed it?

"Of course. I explained how Marie was a golden tree."

To the words, I felt the salon room temperature drop a lot.

"What do you think Marie is..."

"I showed it to you, too, didn't I? Deventio ceramics. It's the glaze Yuyaku developed by Marie, and now it's popular because it's called Deventio's dark blue" Kokiaino "."

That glaze, did you settle for that name?

"Marie has other color-making methods. It's a talent who can make new things, not get caught in an existing frame. My father wanted Nicole before he found out what happened to Marie."

To Carl's explanation, a tongue punch leaked from Master Crest's mouth.

Oh, this guy's tongue punch? This may be the first time I've heard of it.

"He said don't look so scared. If you get the status of Viscount Lady, it will be a deterrent to the sorcerer's association. At least I can avoid your goddess becoming a tool that keeps you bleeding regularly. No matter how many thoughtless they are, they won't get their hands on us."

Oh, that's what I was thinking.

I was surprised to learn of Mr. Carl's intentions for the first time.

"But on the contrary, you will be able to do aristocratic smugness"

I felt much more power in Master Crest's arms supporting my hips.

"Right. So I'm going to give you my son-in-law."

To the words, I felt the room temperature drop again.

Isn't it freezing already? This is too cold from daylight onwards because of how frosty the season has become.

I shuddered myself small. Then, as Master Crest said, "Don't worry," he took my hand and squeezed it.

No, I'm not. I'm ready for my son-in-laws. Because I've just been told how I feel clearly, and I'm already satisfied.

Instead, the anger of the cold air released by Master Crest is a problem.

"Um, Master Crest. I'm all convinced I'm making a deal. So..."

"Marizia. You belong to me. That hasn't changed since five years ago."

I can assure you clearly, Master Crest, that you are apparently not convinced. And I've been totally thru it since I was ready to tell you a lot about my feelings.

Trouble quote, if you turn your gaze to Mr. Carl, he's got a raw warm grin with Nimanima for some reason. The blue eyes were glittering and funny.

I kind of only have a bad feeling about it.

"Remember when I told you I was going to have an engagement soon?

Master Crest nods at Mr. Carl's words.

"Wherever or when, it's no different to take it down"

It's about an approximate house, but can you do that? and tilted his neck. No, but could Master Crest do it?

"Wow, that's scary. But I wonder if I could say the same thing if I said the name of that fiancé."

"Don't wear it. Tell me. You're gonna tell me anyway and see how I react."

Yeah, we've only known each other for a long time, and Master Crest knows about Mr. Carl.

Talking to Master Crest, I was scared that he seemed only interested in me, but I stroked down my chest knowing that wasn't the case.

Yeah, I'm fine.

Even if I marry some nobleman, I'm sure I can handle it. In Mr. Carl's words, it sounds like a son-in-law, not a dowry.

"When they say that, they don't want to talk the other way around."

The eyes of Carl, who is willing to rush all the way here, are sparkling after all.

It's kind of weird because I feel like I was bad for bringing this guy up for a consultation. But there was no other person besides this guy who seemed to stand around well, so I couldn't help it. Because Master Crest doesn't have any friends.

"... kill you and decide you didn't have it all"

It was the first time I heard something called a voice that sounded from the bottom of hell.

Seeing as Carl is a little too, this line is serious with no multiplication. Definitely.

"Dear Crest, no killing."

If I put all my strength into my hand, which was still held in haste, I was stared at with a gentle eye for some reason.

"Marie. You have nothing to worry about. 'Cause you're absolutely gonna protect me."

No, I didn't!

I heard him laughing softly in my ear about how to convince him.

"Oh, you really are a goddess. I'll spare you the pretty goddess."

I had an unpleasant feeling about the mischievous grin.
