Speaking of which, I forgot to ask Master Duke if he had a wolf.

I noticed that after a while away from Master Duke.

I also met Master Curtis... I can't believe you haven't asked me anything.

... The goal today is to listen to the wolves. I inscribed the letter wolf in my brain.

"Oh, I was"

"I forgot to tell you the key thing... oh, you haven't been on in the morning."

"But it's good because you could talk to whoever you want, right?

That's what I said. Jill's expression looked a little adult.

I don't think that's what an 11-year-old boy would call a dialogue.... I wonder if I'll start looking like my grandfather when I'm twenty. I don't like that.

"Someone you like?

Jill turned to me with a surprised look when I asked back.

Beautiful gray eyes glow beautifully reflected by the sun as it plunges through the window.

Jill's eyes are prettier than stained glass.

"What, isn't Alicia's favorite duke? I thought it was going to be perfect."

Jill said so with her eyes open.

"I like it... is this love?

"Even if I ask... But Duke gave you that necklace, didn't he?

Jill said so pointing to my chest.

... I do wear the necklace that Duke gave me every day.

But that's also because you want to be the right woman for a diamond...

I wonder if this is an excuse. Oh, I don't know who I am anymore.

"I wonder if it's different how you like Jill than how you like Duke."

"No, I'm not."

Jill replied clearly to my blurry whine. I looked at Jill with a little surprise.

"How can you be sure?

"Because he's a genius."

That's what Jill said, wrinkled her eyes and laughed.

Oh, that's a pretty face.... Jill will definitely be a good guy, won't he?

"... there are a lot of people who like Duke more than I do, and I'm sure some kids can give their lives for Duke."

"Alicia has zero knowledge of romance."

Jill said so in a slightly frightened manner.

I didn't think younger people would say that kind of dialogue.

I don't know why I'm having a romantic consultation with a younger boy.

But Jill knows more about love than I do, maybe.

I'm not blunt, but you don't know the standard of love.

Do you like it as a friend, as a lover, or as a family? Do you like being as idyllic as everyone worships you like Liz...... Yeah, the more I think about it, the less I know.

"Even if there was a kid who liked Duke more than Alicia, Duke liked Alicia."

Jill said that in a serious tone.

... love will come true one day if you think about them all the way through like a girl comic book! You're not going to be like that.

"Loving someone means not loving someone."

Jill said that while looking at me in a quiet voice.

There was not a bit of youthfulness left in that look. He has a smart, intelligent adult look.

What Jill is saying is obvious, but why is it so hard on my mind?

"Whatever happens, I don't think Duke's gonna change his mind about Alicia."

"Do I have a bad personality?

"... even so, Duke is still watching Alicia."

Jill replied with a little hesitation.

... Wait, I wonder if Jill thinks I'm not a good character.

I wonder why you didn't immediately affirm that I was a bad character.

My consciousness was suddenly pointed that way.

Jill is supposed to answer that honestly and instantly, but what the hell was that earlier...

"Alicia?"

Jill says that strangely and peeks into my face.

"... if you become a woman with a worse personality than you are now, you will surely run away from me"

That's what I said to Jill and smiled.

If Jill thinks I'm not that bad of a character, the only thing I can do is make it worse.

Sure, maybe Jill is small when he sees my bad personality because he's pretty belly black.

... you can't beat your partner. We have to work harder on polishing the bad girls.

"I don't think Duke can shake his feelings, though."

Jill shrugged so small as a solitaire.

I dared to pretend not to hear it and move on with my legs.
