I Favor the Villainess

"Love balance......? Of that amor poem?

"Yeah, I am. What they say is the balance is used at the festival."

I am still attending the Tea Party today as Claire's servant.

Today's topic seems to be about Amor's festival, which I refrained from at the end of this month.

In addition to Claire and her surroundings, Tea Party participants rarely have Manaria and Yu, as well as Sain.

Now Yu, a man of the Church and familiar with the sacrifice, is explaining the sacrifice to Manaria.

"Wasn't Amor's poem just a legend?

Master Manaria asks, tilting the cup gracefully.

By saying that the right to inherit the throne is as good, he speaks in a familiar tone to Master Yu, unlike his Rod counterparts.

"It is said that Amor's poetry itself is probably a compilation of some of the folk heirlooms"

"Yet the balance exists...?

"... Well, I guess it's actually a demon prop"

I continued to snort at Master Sein's explanation that you were right.

"It's only in recent years when magic stones have been discovered that tools with supernatural powers have been developed under the name of magic props, but there have always been some tools with strange powers themselves."

He didn't know he was using the magic stone.

"So magic stones are also used in the balance of love?

"... it seems so"

Lady Sayne nodded not even looking interested.

"So, how exactly are the scales used at that festival?

"Well, a kind of duel or matchmaking... in short, a bride fight"

Master Yu replied with a smile.

"The strife of love has long been a source of strife, as Amor's poetry suggests. Amor's festival is a bride feud that has its origins in it."

"Do you even dedicate?

I made a joke and said it was like a manaria...

"You're absolutely right. We dedicate ourselves to the balance of love and put an end to the struggle for love with its weight."

Master Yu affirmed it.

"Surprised. I learned all about the cultural history of the Kingdom of Bauer, so I knew the legend of Amor, but I didn't even know the balance existed."

"Well, it's a history of sex. I guess Manarian teachers couldn't really cover that far, either?

Master Yu's cup was emptied, so I quietly replaced him.

Thank you, and Master Yu continues.

"Well, when it comes to disputing weights, it doesn't mean disputing them with actual mass. The weight of thoughts shapes the battle, set proportionally to the difficulty of obtaining it."

"Heh? So, should I even dedicate flowers of floss?

"As far as the history of the festival is concerned, the flowers of the floss are considered the heaviest"

"It's a legend, isn't it?"

Master Manaria said as he was impressed.

"I ask a lot about the festival, but is Manaria interested in the festival?

I wonder if he's even a thinker, and Master Yu made fun of him.

"It's not like that, but it doesn't look interesting. And it's romantic. Even I would like to entrust my thoughts to the balance."

"Sister, we women are contenders, not those who entrust our thoughts to the balance?

Said Master Claire with a bitter smile.

"Claire's good, right? Because there's Ray."

"Become!? Dear Yu!"

Claire reacted to Yu-sama's teasing.

"What? What? Is that how Claire and Ray get along?

And then Master Manaria creeps up.

"Please don't say anything stupid to your sister. He's only making fun of me."

Dear Claire, I can't wait to get involved from this any more, mouthing the cup with such expressions.

"I have said many times that I mean it, but Master Claire's guard is quite stiff,"

"Oh. So, is that Ray's one-sided idea?

"Sooner or later, I'll think of both."

"You won't tolerate any more bullshit, will you?

Master Claire made fun of me.

Yeah, nice eye.

She's also cute today.

"By and large, if same-sex is okay, I'll choose your sister over you, me."

"Ha ha. I'm glad to hear this. I'd be happier with Claire than I am with you."

"If you're my sister,"

and two others smiling at each other.

Do it roughly.

"Speaking of which, Claire's first love was manarian."

"No more! Master Yu, please don't steam back your childhood stories"

"You mistook me for a boy."

This is the story of the time when Lady Claire was kept at Count Larnac's house, Lady Manaria's home.

When she lost her mother, Lady Claire had one regret.

I had plans for your parents' outing on my birthday, and Lady Claire woke up and told my mother she hated it.

And while the carriage was in an accident on the go, and the dollar saved her, Mrs. François died.

Since that day, Master Claire strictly forbade herself to be selfish.

As you may not imagine from the selfish lady she is today, Claire was one way or another too discerning a child.

Dear Dollar lost his partner, a good politician, and his wife, who was also a socialist, to be chased for a while by post-processing, leaving her daughter, who couldn't afford to be cared for, with a relative, the Larnac family.

And Master Claire meets Master Manaria there.

"I was saved by the words of Manaria."

This is what Manaria said to Claire as a child who was too harsh on herself.

- Nobody's blaming Claire.

Manaria sharply discerned the guilt of Claire, who didn't even realize her real father, Dollar, and pardoned it.

Lady Claire said she had not wept in years after hearing it.

Master Manaria went on to say this to Master Claire, who never stopped crying.

- I swear to protect you here and now.

That is a passage of the oath of love that appears in Amor's poetry.

I don't know if Manaria had any concerns with Claire at the time, but anyway, Claire, who received the line that was told in the story, came to Manaria completely with it.

These are back stories that are never told during the game and can only be seen in the configuration collection.

This kind of background is one of the reasons I like Master Claire.

Well, thanks to Manaria's words and Dollar's spoil, Claire has since been selfish in the streets.

"I like Master Claire like that"

"So suddenly what are you saying!?

"I'm sorry. Overflowing with thoughts."

I always feel like a dud leak, but if I care, I lose.

"Oh well, Ray really likes Claire. Oh..."

Master Manaria laughed like a child who found something funny when she grumbled about it.

Nothing but a smile, but I was in the mood of a frog scorned by a snake.

"But I'm sorry to hear that. Claire said she liked me better."

With that said, Master Manaria wrapped herself around that arm as she held Master Claire.

"Oh, dear sister, what's wrong?

It seems that even Claire, who asks questions such as this, is not satisfied.

Keep it down. Me, be cool, count primes......!

"Claire, would you believe me if I told you I liked you?

"Of course it is. I still believe that, don't you?

"Heh heh heh heh heh"

Master Manaria suddenly put out something like a hit.

No, that's a very good thing to get along with.

Ordinary mind Ordinary mind.

"... Ray, there's tea spilling out of the pot"

"Excuse me."

It wasn't a normal mind at all.

"... what's wrong? You look pale."

"No, anything. Thank you for your concern."

I tried to answer Sain's question with no interest in love at all.

I mean, wasn't Master Claire in love with Master Sein now?

"... Claire and Manaria are good friends"

"... right. How about a replacement?

I tried to make some tea, as if it were some other HR Sain.

"... Ray, that's not a pot of tea, it's a milk pitcher"

Oh, maybe I can't.

Seeing me like that, Master Manaria laughed fun-filled.
