"Well, this is Duke's unsolicited idea, so maybe I can't help it."
Mel shrugged so as if she'd given up something.
"I'm sorry I said the least"
Mel suddenly bowed her head to me.
I was surprised by Mel's sudden behavior.
Jill also looks at Mel with her eyes round.
I didn't think I'd be apologized for.
It's amazing how you can apologize for what you did.
Of course, but there are a lot of people who can't do that. You're growing up well.
"But, you know, I think the Lord was pretty tough, too. I have absolutely nothing to do with that kind of ant. Will you just listen to me for now?
Mel said that with a slight bitter smile.
I nodded small. I'm in class now, and nobody comes in the way.
"It's strange what Cather Liz said when she first showed up at Duke's place. I wanted to be friends with you. Well, I guess that was fresh and unusual for Master Albert and Master Gail. Because no one ever spoke to me like that because I was one of the five nobles."
Mel gives a look like he crushed a bitter bug.
I wonder if Mr. Liz is that bad.
Sure, you're a crazy person to ask only the first dialogue.
I think even civilians know enough about this world's identity system.
In other words, the Lord is called out, and the brothers and Gayles are called out as such.
"You've been observing it close the whole time?
Jill looked strange and asked.
If Mel has been observing Mr. Liz for so long, how could Mel not be Mr. Liz's watchdog?
"That's right. Me, it's a stunt to get rid of the signs."
I laughed proudly when I said that.
You look fancy enough, but sometimes you can get shady.
These people scare you the most, don't they?
"Cather Liz is blunt, insensitive and enters people's minds without hesitation, curious is a good thing, but I can't read the air at all. And at first, you didn't hesitate to get into your mind, and then you'll feel better."
"That's how you grab people's minds one after the other, unconsciously."
Jill immediately shares Mel's opinion.
Mel is staring at the ground with a light bite of her own nails.
My pretty face is ruined.
Still, I'd hate to hear about Mr. Liz.
The lighter and brighter tone of earlier has turned into a heavy and poisonous tone like a lie.
"Mel wasn't involved with Mr. Liz?
I'm just watching.
"I wonder how Duke didn't fall on Cather Liz."
Jill said so with her hands on her chin.
Sure, that's the biggest problem.
I wonder how Master Duke didn't fall on Mr. Liz.
She's a beautiful girl, and she's inclusive, full of kindness, with a pure heart. Isn't that exactly the ideal of a man?
"... Hmm, isn't that because you were looking at a more intense woman first?
That's what Mel turned to me for.
Oh, me?
I admit I wasn't a normal lady, but I'm supposed to be far from the Duke type of woman.
Perhaps it was a bad idea to make an awesome impression on Duke's brain before Mr. Liz.
But I, I was basically a disgusting woman...
"Ariari's thoughts are completely different from Cather Liz's, aren't they? Cather Liz says something really good. That's not a mistake in itself. But it's just an ideal."
That's what I laughed at. I learned fear in Mel's face.
"You're not acting, are you, her? But Ariari is realistic and sees the future. It's cruel, but it's acting right... and I can't believe I usually go to a poor village"
"Huh?"
Mel hacked along the way and shut his mouth.
He looks at me with a look on his face that he's done it.
... How do you know I've been to a poor village?
I wonder if Mel knew about it, even Master Duke knew about it.
"How does Mel know that?
"Uh..."
"Did Duke tell you that? The squire is influenced by the Lord's thoughts, and that's why Mel has a defiance toward Cather Liz, and she has a crush on Alicia even though she has never spoken."
That's what Jill said as a matter of course.
Is Jill really eleven years old? You sound like an adult.
"Let's go! Mr. Boulder Jill, you're smart! Jill, my lord was the first to find out that you're from a poor village! Well, the lord's face was amazing when I found out about it. I know you couldn't wait to worry about it, but you didn't give me that look in front of Ariari at all, did you?
Mel laughed happily.
Your expression and tone will change really soon.
Probably the darkest character I've ever met.
No wonder this kid didn't come out in the game.
Mel isn't the main character, but he's the kind of character that definitely has a fixed fan.
"I always cared if there was any danger around Ali Ali. Oh, don't worry, I wasn't spying on Ali. I think I've been very patient with that Duke watching over Ariari. Well, it's strange how you say you're gonna watch even though you didn't really ask for it."
... One last word, heartbreaking. I deserve it, though.
"About a year after Ari Ali disappeared from school, there was a sudden increase in Ari Ali's bad words. Maybe you thought you weren't coming back."
Mel started talking without any hesitation.
... Mel and I are going to get along.
"You say it in front of him."
"Ali Ali wouldn't mind."
"It's amazing you even know my personality."
"Ali Ali praised me!
"You're older, aren't you? Come on, keep talking."
Jill told Mel with a frightened face.
Perhaps the most adult of these is Jill.
Mel began to talk about it with a boring look on her face.
"Of course, the worse and worse Duke gets in that situation. Almost stopped laughing... that's when Cather Liz approached Duke. Why don't you join me for a cup of tea? I want to see you smile."
It feels like a heroine dialogue.
Normally, I don't know where it is, but Master Duke seems to like me, so maybe he only has a aversion to the word.
"It's exactly what Ariari is imagining right now. Duke was cold."
"But Cather Liz tried to get more and more involved in trying to get Duke to open his mind by perceiving that Duke's actions were coming from some sorrow or loneliness"
That's what Jill said to add to Mel's story. It's like I was watching that scene.
Mel turned his eyes round and looked at Jill.
"You knew?
"No, I was wondering if Cather Liz would. Just speculation."
"Heh."
Mel seemed interested in Jill. I had cold eyes when I first saw Jill.
But it wasn't uncomfortable how Mel's attitude towards Jill kept changing.
Rather, it was clean and pleasant to watch.
Mr. Liz treats him with a sympathetic eye that says he must be pathetic if he hears Jill is from a poor village.
They're all the same people, so I'm sure you'd say it's cruel.
But Mel suspects and observes from the beginning, and likes any human being if he likes it.
He said he liked me, but I guess he made a huge observation and decided so.
"Hey, Mel. Do you know where Master Duke is right now?
"Maybe it's the dining room at this hour."
"Are you in the dining room?
Jill asked with a surprised look.
Is Master Duke in the dining room? You're lying.
"I'm eating in the dining room on the terrace where only the student council can get in."
Mel hastily added when he saw our expression.
Oh, you know what? Dear Duke, the level won't be eating with everyone, will it?
"Ariari, are you going to Duke's?
"Well, there's something I want to say and hear."
That's all I said and tried to get out of the woods.
It was a little while ago, but something I remember about how to get to the dining room because I went to school.
Mel's signs disappeared at some point when I started walking.
Jill seemed to notice that too.
... Surely it wouldn't be weird to show up anytime and anywhere if you could erase so many signs in a flash.
Master Boulder Duke's squire.
"What magic is Mel?"
"The magic of the earth."
I heard voices from nowhere on my way to whining small.
... You were still nearby.
I've never met a child who could use dirt magic before. I'd love to hear all about it.
But for now, I have to go to Master Duke.
I only walked a little faster.
