I Became the Villainess’s Brother

36) The use of large quantities of beads

"The beads the prince gave me are really massive..."

The beads given as an apology for breaking them are overwhelmed by that amount when viewed again.

Prince Huddle himself went to the Jackberry house and was surprised when he was handed the jewelry box, though.

Of course, the amount of luxury beads per grain is plentiful enough that I don't think there are any small grain beads in the glass vial I bought.

For the time being, yes, I guess I won't have to buy beads for about six months.

Though I thought it would be a little more expensive than the finishing tools I gave the prince, correction.

Not a little, it's very expensive.

"Is that the glasses chain you mentioned before?

Eldor looks at me and asks.

What I'm making right now is Arianne's glasses chain.

The day I bought the bead, the glass vial broke and the beads got mixed up, and it just took me a while to sort it out.

The next day I was attending a tea party at the Duke of Odile's house.

Well, I could have gone to the Duke of Odile's house in Fortuna.

Instead, you really seemed to want me to come to Fortuna.

There is a Vermouth-Odile Duke's warrant in that house.

She had bad feelings for Fortuna at Andy's birthday party, and she said it was easy for me to go.

Miss Vermouth seemed to be after Fortuna as expected, so I was quite right to go, though.

You can also study Arianne afterwards, or from your own tutor, and go to school in between.

I was kind of busy for a few days and couldn't get enough working time.

Besides, Prince Huddle's assault.

We made necklaces together in the thought of it, but the prince was happy, and except that Fortuna and Prince Huddle had encausted, it was a full day for it.

It could have been a bit of a problem not being able to take the time to make Arianne's glasses chain until today.

See, Arianne is an unfortunate attribute.

Even though I made the glasses chain because of it, I already dropped my glasses and broke them, what a thing that could happen.

Luckily, when I saw her this morning, my glasses were still on her face properly, so I think I managed to make it.

"Although I don't use very expensive materials. For that matter, I've been trying to elaborate on the design, what do you think?

Take the just made glasses chain to the height of Eldor's eyes.

Although the chain is inexpensive golden ancient beauty, it uses design round cans in several places and decorates the red beads together with a few grains like grapes.

And I use yellow-green beads, which closely resemble her peridot-colored eyes, as a subtraction color.

"Sounds like it fits her eyes."

"Too much categorization seems to hook me up somewhere in Arianne's case, so I tried not to be too gorgeous."

"I think it's very good"

Eldor, I know you're telling me from the bottom of your heart, right?

Are you sure this is a good design for Arianne?

No, I'm confident in my appearance, but like this, I'm concerned about whether the civilians have it and it's okay.

I didn't walk much.

Looking at it in the house alone, I don't think the servants of the Jackberry family wear all that flashy ornaments.

Except for Dr. Joshua and Dr. Credil.

Does it happen, or is the ornament itself too luxurious?

My knowledge is vague around here.

"The chain part is golden beauty, and the beads themselves use small things, so I think it's something that civilians can hold for everyday use."

"When the chain is gold, is it subtle?

"I would call it if plated, is it silver in one way or another"

"Is that still the case"

Gold, silver and copper are cheaper than demon ore.

Nevertheless, that's a comparison to demon ore, which means it's a luxury product from the civilian population.

The necklace of shapes that Arianne wears without letting go of her skin is gold, so I thought I'd color the chain of glasses as well.

I wonder if Kim Ko Mi is as easy as this.

"Is Arianne at Fortuna's?"

"It's time now, I think we're in Lady Fortuna's room"

Quickly, let's go deliver.

I put my glasses chain in a trinket and headed to Fortuna's room.

◇ ◇

On the way to Fortuna, Arianne was found.

He holds so many books that he can't hold them in his hands that he walks serpentinely down the hallway to the left to the right.

"... Arianne, where are you taking that book...?

"The voice, la, langleys all over"

You're going to drop the book in surprise at me, but I have Eldor today.

Arianne is classic at scattering along with flashy sounds, but Eldor is holding back a pile of books.

"I would have too much of anything. So why don't we drop a few books?"

"Aww... I've only dropped two books yet"

Have you already dropped it, both books?

You couldn't have picked it up because your hands are in this state.

Eldor holds more than half the books out of Arianne's hands, and I'll take up a few too.

I can have it all, though.

Maybe if I do that, Arianne could be pissed off if someone sees me, so I can't help it.

Arianne's glasses are a little slippery, but you can't put them back because you can't use both hands.

When I reached out and put my glasses back in position, I said, "I can see clearly ~" and I got some deviant answer.

Yeah, that's normal driving.

"Arianne, you mustn't force it. If you can't bring it in once, you just have to split it it twice."

"Mr. Maryche gave it to me. Fortuna needs it."

... Whatever you think, it's not enough to let one have it, this book.

And it's suspicious that Fortuna needs it.

I think Fortuna takes herself to the library rather than letting people bring it.

Upon reaching Fortuna's room, Fortuna opened her pink tourmaline eyes to a large number of books, still saying something.

"What the hell happened to that book?

"She needs Fortuna."

"Am I?... You did. Let's take it. Thank you, Arianne."

Oh, Fortuna.

I can't believe I'm smiling at you for accepting tons of books you don't need.

If you answer the fact that you don't need it here, Arianne will cry.

Steady, Maryche.

I know you hate me, but are you even mean to Arianne?

It's possible to be mistaken, but no matter what you think, you won't let such a little kid have this amount of books, will you?

Books were delivered to the bookshelf, and for those who could not get in, an elderly servant arranged them on the bookshelf instead of Arianne.

The amount of books still to be cleaned up is temporarily arranged on a side table.

... You've come a long way, Arianne.

It's hard for me to hold it all at the top, too, this.

Should I praise you for your good work, or should I say don't be impotent?

Both, I guess.

"It's not all the books yet ~. I'll pick them up."

"Wait. These are the two books, right?

After cleaning up, Eldor stops Arianne from leaving the room in a hurry, just back in the room.

I thought we went into Fortuna's room together.

In its hands, two books are held.

That would be the book Arianne said she dropped earlier.

When were you going to pick it up?

I really don't have Eldor.

"Thank you very much."

Receiving it quickly, Arianne put two books on the bookshelf.

Yeah, you're arranged properly and beautifully.

But I don't know if I'd force it into a cup of bookshelf.

This is gonna be tough when I take it out later.

Even when Arianne isn't around, I guess I should fix it for you.

An elderly servant prompts me to come to the table.

Soon Arianne will brew me some tea.

It's still delicious tea, isn't it?

"So, brother, what happened today?

"You said it before, didn't you? I brought Arianne's glasses chains because they're finished."

"Because of me. Soo?

Arianne is in good hands.

I took Arianne's glasses chain out of the locker.

"It's beautiful... eh"

"Looks good on Arianne."

Arianne gleams with joy and Fortuna takes the glasses chain out of the small storage.

"Arianne, can I borrow your glasses?

"Ha, ha."

"... I wonder if it feels like this"

"Right. I think we just need to pass the rubber through the frame part and then adjust Arianne herself to a position that won't interfere with her vision"

"Hey, regulation?

"It's not hard. If the chain loosens its sight, it'll get in the way, won't it? Adjust the chain in a position that attaches it to the frame so that it doesn't."

Is it hard to understand what that means?

Hold on to the glasses chain. Arianne's grated.

"Arianne, please stay still for a moment"

Eldor attaches his finger to Arianne's eyeglass chain and shifts her position.

"What do you say? Can you see the chain?

"I can see it when I lay my eyes down ~"

"What would it be like here"

"Seems a little...?

"Then let's use it in this position for the time being"

"Yes, I understand!

It was on the edge of my eyes that an elderly servant was desperately caught laughing.

Arianne is the same age as your grandson, isn't she?

Well, so is Fortuna.

"Good for you, Arianne. You look great."

"Yes, thank you, Fortuna."

Next to delightful Arianne's face, the glasses chain shakes.

Yeah, I figured you'd be glad to match Arianne's eyes and hair color.

Evil isn't noticeable, and I'm familiar with it.

Now the establishment of dropping and breaking glasses will be much less.

"Your brother's accessories are always fascinating. My necklace is also often heard at tea parties."

Fortuna looks happy and touches the necklace on her chest.

The combination of silver teaspoons and demon gems I gave you the other day, they didn't have many designs, which seems to be popular.

It's the beads that decorate the surroundings, so I can't wear them to a formal party or anything.

It makes me happy to see a little tea party or something that I love to use for everyday use.

"Hey, brother. Why don't you tell me how to make it, too?

"To Fortuna? Sure."

"I'm glad. What kind of accessories would you like?"

"What about necklaces and matching bracelets, etc?

"Bracelet...... Isn't it hard?

"With the necklace, it's easy if you remember how to make it. Is the problem a tool?

I gave it to Prince Huddle, so now he only has my share of crafting tools.

There are a bunch of beads.

"Dear Langley, I have bought about three more sets of fine tools"

"Eldor, is that true?

"Yes, I thought you might want to make some. I'll take it."

Be polite and leave Fortuna's room.

Eldor, seriously, perfect!

Eldor's hand, which came back after a while, had the crate I always used and the three remaining crates.

Around that he is also bringing me beads, it is because he is truly exhausted.

"Give this to Master Fortuna"

"Thank you, Eldor"

"If you have two left, why don't Arianne and Eldor do it together?

"Me too?

"Wow, that sounds like fun."

I got a ton of beads from Prince Huddle, so there's something you want to try.

Especially when Arianne can make accessories.

I'm pretty anxious when it comes to whether Arianne can do the tortoise unhappiness attribute.

I will teach the three of you how to use the tools as I taught the prince.

As expected, or what to say, it was done a few times, except for Arianne.

But even Arianne, which I was anxious about, after dozens of exercises, I was able to get the 9-pin twist and round cane distortion right.

"Fortuna. Well, how can you do that?"

"Arianne, you just have to circle it slowly, without forcing yourself into it."

"The shape of the nine pins is weird."

"Arianne must be because she's circling at the root of Yatco. Use thin tips."

"The tip, it's coming off."

"It is difficult to apply or subtract force, but I think it can be bent to a small, beautiful circle when rounded with a tip, as Eldor said"

After all, make it nine pins. Make it a T-pin, it's hard to round it in shape.

Prince Huddle, made of one shot, is too awesome.

"... Arianne, why are you rounding the tip of the nine pins before you go through the beads?

"Uh, don't you want to round it up?

"If we round it up, we won't be able to get the beads through, will we?

Oh, you can't even look away for a second.

I need to teach you the steps until I know exactly what to do.

"Do I have to throw this away ~?"

"I don't have to throw it away, because it was earlier that I bent it, so I can reuse it if I cut the tip off with scissors. Lend it to me."

"Yes ~"

At the tip of the nine pins received, cut off the bent area with scissors.

Because it's a longer nine pin, I think I can round the tip again, even if I drop the tip or if it's a smaller bead, even if I pass a grain through it.

"Brother, is this what it looks like?

Fortuna connects the nine pins through the beads to show the main part of the bracelet.

"Yeah, you're beautifully put together. And then, do you want to put on a mantel or a crab and an adjuster? If it goes with the necklace, I think Crab Cane and Adjuster would be nice."

The mantel is beautiful, but the necklace I gave her uses crabs and adjusters.

Cut the larger chain of eyes to about five centimeters, decorate the tip with beads and attach the main part of the bracelet to the other.

And if you attach a chain cut to about 2 cm ahead of the other end of the bracelet and a crab can do it.

Fortuna just finished her bracelet with my mouth.

Although Arianne is still stuck with the nine-pin treatment, Eldor is starting to make another bracelet.

By the way, the bracelet is perfect.

Fine, did you get into making accessories?

"The necklace and I are really in the mood."

Fortuna smiles, comparing the necklace on the chest to the freshly made bracelet.

Yeah, it looks good on you.

Now I think I'll also make earrings and hair fastenings.

If Fortuna will please me, I'll make more and more.

"Wow, I could do it too!

"Which one?

I peek in because Arianne is squeezing her bracelet all excited to say.

Yeah, yeah, yeah?

I guess I could have made it pretty.

I'll borrow it for a second and pull it gently.

It doesn't cut off on the way, and it's good strength.

... this is the plan I came up with, maybe I can implement it?

Before I do, there are a few things I need to check.

I had a plan in mind before the bracelet Arianne and Eldor made.
