I Became the Villainess’s Brother

39) The Truth About Tons of Books

Feeling comfortable with the early summer sunshine, I finish my daily marathon.

Erdol stopped me as I took a light shower and wiped my hair messily with a towel.

"Dear Langley, you must not treat your hair abusively. Besides, we'll do that."

"Well, if it's night, I'll ask you. It's not that long, and it wouldn't hurt in due course, would it?

In this world, a lot of men grow hair.

I'm very normally short, so I think I just need to towel dry and then dry in the dryer.

If this is a woman or a man with long hair, it seems like it hurts quickly if you're not careful how you use the towel, too.

I don't think I've had anything to do with this in my past life.

You're a long way from a good looking guy.

"Hair itself is a short but painful thing. Not to mention, just wiping it properly will leave a negative effect on the scalp"

As I say, Eldor receives a towel from me and politely and politely wipes my hair.

It feels good when Eldor is touching my hair, so I'm getting sleepy again even though I just woke up.

"Speaking of which, where were you going earlier?

After the run, when I was in the shower, Eldor left, didn't he?

I usually wait till I get out.

That's why I was just getting dressed and wiping my hair.

"We went to Lady Fortuna"

"Also, did Arianne do something to you?

"No, it's a book collection, isn't it? He wanted to bring the other book back to the library without Arianne."

Uh, that massive book.

The book that Arianne was pressed into by Maryche was an impossible amount to get into the bookshelf.

Whether Fortuna sneaks back, Arianne is a servant with Fortuna.

It's pretty hard to get Arianne back to not knowing, isn't it?

"Hmm? You didn't put me back in the library?

I had my hair completely dried with a hairdryer, and when I got back to the room, there was a book piled up on the table.

"I went to put it back once, but this is apparently not a book in the library"

"Hmm..."

I'll take a few copies.

Oh, this is a textbook from the Royal Windilia School.

All of them?

No, a few books are referential.

And this is a book that is often used as an example in language classes.

Why did you put this in Fortuna?

In the first place, why did Maryche have a textbook?

She was definitely about the same age as Eldor, wasn't she?

Though I wouldn't need another sophomore textbook.

Turning the page, I can ask you that it was pretty detailed and that I was studying seriously.

With all this written down, I guess it's because it's hard to sell to an old bookstore.

"Should I send it back to Maryche"

"No, I was refused"

That's Eldor.

Already confirmed?

But this, then I get in the way... Ah.

"Aren't you going to give this to Arianne?

"Maryche and Arianne have a hard time saying they're not very close."

"That's why. Wasn't it hard to give it to you so you could use it directly? Just these would be freshman to sophomore textbooks."

The cost of purchasing textbooks is also paid by the Duke's family.

But if I could turn that amount of money over to other, fine-grained expenses, Arianne's school life would be a little easier again.

If you take the entrance exam, though.

Although the textbooks used don't look very good, they seem just as good for Arianne, who has the essentials put together and doesn't like to study.

"Um, I don't know if Arianne will get it yet, but let's just put it on the bookshelf. There's still room on my bookshelf."

"Yes, sir."

Should I thank Maryche for something?

Of course, not from me, but via Fortuna.

Because I don't like it.

After Eldor cleared the book, I visited Fortuna's room.

"Fortuna, are you ready?

"Well, brother, what's wrong?

Fortuna was embroidered today.

Not silk, but cotton fabric. So, Arianne?

My seat prompts me, and I will face Fortuna.

An elderly servant makes tea.

There is no Arianne around.

Yeah, that was just the right time.

"It's about Maryche. I wonder what her favorite thing is."

"I don't really interact with her, either. But if you're a girl, don't you like ornaments?"

"I don't remember seeing Maryche dressed."

Our servants don't wear many ornaments, but Maryche has a particularly refreshing impression.

Is it because you have short hair?

Not so much as I'm pruning it up, but I mean, back up, Bob.

Women are often stretched out and tied with ribbons, right?

So maybe she doesn't even wear a ribbon, especially when it looks like it.

"If you ask me, you are. What about sweets?"

"Confectionery. If you ask the head chef, they'll make it soon."

"Do you give it to her?

"I wonder if you'd like me to give it to you from Fortuna if I could. I don't really have much conversation with Maryche."

No matter how delicious the treat is, I feel like they're going to give it back to me.

Honestly, I don't know why they hate me so much.

I probably abused him before.

The worst thing I could remember was the terrible trick against Arianne, but other than that, I always hit the servants hard.

I twitched with "The Servants," and I didn't even remember their names properly.

Among them, I'm sure Maryche was included.

"One, may I?"

An elderly servant, who had refrained on the side, bows his head.

Actually, I, you don't even remember her name.

You've served me for years.

I can't hear her now, and I'm hoping someone will call her by her name.

"What's up?

"If it's a gift for Maryche, I'm sure the necessities will be delighted."

"Essentials? What is it like, for example?"

"Right. Is it soap or clothing?"

"Isn't that something you can always buy?

Wages serving the Duke's house should never be cheap.

An unidentified person cannot serve first.

If misfortunes don't overlap a lot like Arianne's, I don't think life will be the first thing to suffer.

"... because she lives with her mother"

It was my first ear.

Even if it wasn't as good as Arianne's, was she, too, living hard?

"Hmm. Then let's keep it soapy"

Clothes.

Because Arianne is an honest kid who will be happy with everything, but Maryche seems difficult.

Do you think your preferences are clear?

I don't feel like it's a waste of consumer items.

"Eldor, may I have the Duke's house soap wrapped? I think it would be beautiful to wrap it in a cage."

"Yes, sir."

Eldor graciously leaves the room.

In exchange, Arianne came.

I usually just do three knitting in two, but it's got knitting in it today.

Are you practicing?

"Fortuna, the chef was full of cookies. Ah"

"Yes. But a little more, let's just calm down and get into the room, shall we? If it weren't for Eldor, he would have fallen again, wouldn't he?

"Ha!"

Replying cheerfully, Arianne arranges the cookies cutely on the plate.

After all, I wonder if the way cookies are arranged gives you character.

Eldor and Sebastian line up pissy as paintings, but Arianne lines up like flowers.

Speaking softly, Eldor came back.

Staring at the cage he had, Arianne makes her eyes shine "It's cute ~".

Yeah, really, Eldor's clever.

A cloth is placed on the cage and the hand-held part is finished with a lace bow.

Oh, this caged cloth, this silk handkerchief?

You can reuse it.

That's Eldor.

"Bye, Fortuna. I'm sorry, but could you give this to her?"

"Yeah, I get it."

Fortuna nodding in two replies.

If she is, she must give it to Maryche well.

The moment we left, Arianne looked up at the elderly servant.

"Oh, thank you, Rovisa, for the knitting ~. The chef praised me for being cute."

"Phew, Arianne's hair was soft and easy to knit."

Arianne, you made a mistake.

Originally, the servant has to be cautious about his private language in front of his husband, but already, he only says he did it.

The name of the older servant is Rovisa.

I left the groom and Fortuna room behind.
