I want an octopus.

Soft awakenings were prompted by vibrations in which the dimmed consciousness was pleasant, and tremendous pain struck the moment it was accepted.

Breathe in and open your eyes to the feeling of tightening your head tightly.

Then blue eyes, brown skin that seems to melt with fluffy blonde hair and tears.

"No?

"... Mr. Leggles?

What's wrong with that?

I stroke my hair like a chick softly, marveling at the beautiful toddler overflowing with tears on his polo and stomach.

Peepee and a small hand slap my chest down. The vibration I felt comfortable with is probably this.

Soft back, familiar chandelier over the head.

That said, I passed out in front of the princess and was transported to my room...?

Unravel.

Blurring and even stroking your hair, Leggles, you hear an understated knock and you think I'm asleep, but the door knob turns before you respond.

"Excuse me...... Master Leggles? Master Leggles?... I wonder where he's gone... Master Leggles?

It's Mr. Utsunomiya to look in his voice.

Leggles, who was called by name in the first place, wakes his body from above me.

There were signs of Mr. Utsunomiya approaching the hair of a chick who came out of the futon.

"Uh... Isn't that a no, Master Leggles? Your brother is having a good night. Get on your stomach, you bastard! Yes, sir."

"Huh?... Meh?

"Meh! Yes."

"Meh?

I'm directly below you, even if you ask.

Well, blah, blah, blah. It's not light, so I want you to come down.

"It would help if you came down, wouldn't it?

"Do you want to get up?

"Yeah, I'll wake up."

Nodding, the chick gets out of her stomach with a chick and sits on the edge of the bed. When I woke up too, Mr. Utsunomiya came running.

"Young lady!? Have you noticed!?

"Yes...... I have a little headache, so keep your voice down."

"Oh, oh, excuse me!

Imitate Mr. Utsumi, who paid most tribute to Pekon, and you, Leggles, bow your head, too. When you stick your finger in your fluffy hair, you're cute to laugh at.

Subject to that, Mr. Utsunomiya looks very serious.

"Young lady, um... you're down, remember?

"Oh, yes. Taking a walk in the back yard…"

"Yes, Dr. Romanov brought back the young lady and Master Leggles..."

"Dr. Romanoff?

"Yes. Anything. Please find Dr. Romanoff coming out of the garden crying. Master Leggles must have stuttered when the young man fell in the garden and came to ask someone for help..."

"Really... Leggles, you..."

How clever.

I didn't think I could do that when I was three.

If you mix your blonde hair back with a sneeze of gratitude, Leggles, you sneeze like a snooze.

Pretty platter Leggles, for your tricks, but Mr. Utsunomiya doesn't even dust. On the contrary, I'm concerned that I'm going to cry a little.

Why don't we ask him? And when I nearly opened my mouth, Mr. Utsunomiya spoke out first.

"Um... young lady, is it true that you fell because you've been up late and over again making Leggles' picture books?

"Is...?

"Lately until late at night, the lights in the young lady's room haven't turned off, and then the next morning there are more Leggles' picture books..."

"Oh......"

It's fun, sewing.

If you're tickling, you're gonna lose track of time...... But I can't stay up late enough to interfere with my health, not for a five-year-old. As soon as you get sleepy, Tangu! is.

A polo and a grain from a lukewarm large eye. Tears fall on rosy cheeks.

As I recall now, Mr. Utsunomiya is also a sufficiently beautiful girl, and the tears of a beautiful girl are mostly a good place for ordinary people to have weapons of mass destruction.

"Huh!? What!? What's wrong!? I did something -?

"No, no, no, no, no, no!

"No!? I didn't! I didn't!?

Ghaa!? Beautiful Girl Gang Crying, Me Nose Shouting!

Leggles, you are looking at me properly. Don't look, because I'm not doing anything.

I give you an embroidered handkerchief from the bedside to Leggles whimper and cry. And when I pressed my back against Mr. Utsunomiya, I offered her a handkerchief to figure out my mission.

"Meh! But it's stuck."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, excuse me..."

"Mr. Leggles, there are times when you can talk normally and times when you don't."

"Yes, sometimes we talk in some grown-up way... not!

Shit, I thought we could get a corner story out of the way. It's not going to work.

Wiping tears with the handkerchief you received, Mr. Utsunomiya opens his lips in confusion.

"... Young lady, how can a young lady get so far to Master Leggles?

"Hmm? Cloth book making is part of my hobby. It's not just for you, Leggles..."

"That's not all. Please make sure that Master Leggles can study properly in this mansion, or not be too neglected by his wife..."

"Isn't it normal for my brother to take care of my brother?

"... I didn't even know Master Leggles existed until this time, did I?

Hmm, is that right?

I've known a lot of people in my past life, and I know there's no place for my brother and brother to hang out, but I don't almost hang out in this world. What's more, I don't even know how to react when I honestly say this, because it's like being told "I'm a brother from today" in a state that's almost equal to others, without even touching my parents.

"It's common sense not to bully a child younger than yourself. And I'll protect you."

"But... the... Leggles are children made elsewhere by the young father..."

"It's not your fault, Leggles, at my father's convenience. I've told you before, I'm neglected in the first place, and since it's not even your fault, Leggles,"

Is this an alley? The thread of tension that stood to be neglected, abused, and the stress exceeded its limits?

Well, you'd be very tired of not being able to read the sincerity or anything from the person you thought would be abused. I should have talked to Mr. Utsunomiya sooner.

While I think you failed, I urge Mr. Utsunomiya to sit on the edge of the bed, though I'm sorry.

Mr. Utsunomiya, who was reluctant at first, also sat confused when he said let's talk. Leggles, you're on my lap for some reason.

"Mr. Utsunomiya, I think the facts are polyhedral. If the angle changes with the one you see, a different side emerges. Sure, Leggles, you are a testament to my father's betrayal from Kikunai, but I would be the outrageous testament to Kikunai in your mother's home. So, Leggles, they thought you could abuse me on the other side."

"It's..."

Kokuri and Mr. Utsunomiya nod.

Well, you do. I can't believe you betrayed your mother and let another woman give birth to you! I understand you're not expected to accept that. This is a rule of thumb from a previous life. My mother loved the noon melo over there.

But.

That's adorable to a mother. A child is a mirroring guy whose mother hates the person she hates just as much and gets love and empathy, and I can't possibly have that.

And.

Mr. Utsunomiya might want to tell Leggles your guardian, just a little bit, and put him down.

"Mr. Utsunomiya, it's just me, but you don't feel like you're going to live very long."

Leggles, the footage I saw at the fall of the stairs, left you still unwieldy, not to mention a young man.

Me and Leggles, you are two different things.

Leggles, you're young, because I'm young, too.

If I told you, Mr. Utsunomiya turned pale.

"Hey, what are you talking about!?

"What... Leggles, I told you when I welcomed you in, didn't I? Humans don't know what's going to happen, they need a replacement."

I twist my neck a little to Mr. Utsunomiya, who became suspicious of his behavior. Aren't you overreacting?

"... I was dying of an epidemic six months ago, wasn't I? So somehow, I started to wonder if I wouldn't live long. So, Leggles, I was wondering if you'd be okay with me dying."

This is a lie. Because I already know that Leggles will kill you. So by the time we get there, Leggles, I just want you to grow up to be a fine countess owner.

"Even if I die, my parents won't have any emotions. I'm not expected to be alive."

"No!? That...!

"I do. 'Cause six months ago, when I was about to be thrown a key by a doctor, only Mr. Rottenmeyer and one of them worked at the Mansion."

"………………"

"But you're not, Leggles. Though I lost my mother, my father has gone out of his way to get you the best teacher, to get into a place you don't even want to come, and I'm still sperm on my job trying to make a huge buck by lowering my head to my mother to keep Leggles from harming you. You're not even expected to be alive. I'm sure there's more to rejoicing in when you become the master of Kikunai than I am. Maximum number of maximum happiness. That's a political philosophy. If you won't live long anyway, enough to make your brother the best lord... hey"

"Hey, maybe you'll live longer!? At that time......!?

"At that time, Leggles gave you the housekeeper, and I... you just have to live by doing the singing and the handicrafting"

I'm sure such a future will not come.

In the corner of your head, you wave down your sword, Leggles, screaming like that.

There are so many things I have to do for that day to come.

I'm a little tired of talking too much and sigh softly.

"I want you to do something for Mr. Utsunomiya, too. Even though Kikunai Mansion (here) is no longer an enemy land for you, it doesn't mean you're still completely on your side. So, little Leggles, on your behalf, you should increase your side of Leggles. Leggles, you're the only one who can appeal to how smart and good you are. I want one of the mansions on your side, Leggles. Even if I die, no one suspects that Leggles has anything to do with that death."

"Young lady!? What are you talking about!?

"Leggles, if they suspect you killed me, it's what my mother or Sebastian thinks! Neither to my father nor to my mother. I will not take sides and I will not be hostile. But I don't want to profit the kind of guy who drops a toddler down the stairs! If my mother ordered that, I don't like being considered the same race any more!

Utsunomiya gently touches me breathing on my shoulder.

When I held that hand, Mr. Utsunomiya, with serious eyes, shook my hand back.

"Sebastian tried to make me help Leggles kick you out. That bastard, that way my mother might have eyes on me, and let me flinch! If I don't abuse the weaker than I am, I don't deserve to be loved either!?... Don't insult me, even I'm mean!

Yes, there was anger in me too if I stuck it in.

There is irresistible anger in Sebastian, in my father, in my mother, where I said it.

I may want to avenge my parents by making you a fine adult.

You surprise me for roughing up my voice, Leggles. You look up.

My brother.

If you say it's cute or not, it must be cute. If not, would you fall down the stairs with me?

I guess it's complicated because I'm a five-year-old after all, and I'm inconsistent with a lot of things.

Too much talk.

I look up, Leggles. As I rinse your hair, Mr. Utsunomiya softly rises up and squeezes up the hem of that skirt for the maid with both hands.

In gratitude for the style of Cartesy, Mr. Utsunomiya put his hand on his chest.

"... I get it. Wonderful, Utsunomiya Alice. We will do everything in our power to protect the young man and Master Leggles from this!

"Huh? Ya? Mr. Utsunomiya would like to work for you, Leggles."

"No, it is also for Master Leggles to fulfill the wishes of the young man. Good luck, Utsunomiya, as a young lady's hands and feet!

I don't know, but Mr. Utsunomiya seems motivated. And, Mr. Utsunomiya, you say the name 'Alice' below. First ear.

If you snort under the pressure of Mr. Utsunomiya's mood, her face will turn all the way to the truth.

"Young lady, please get along with Master Leggles. If Master Leggles and the young man get along, I will make sure to protect you and Master Leggles, Utsunomiya!

"Er... aren't you in the mood for something?

"Huh!? Oh, that's not true! I mean, the young man is surprisingly intense! I can't believe it's" That Bastard "!

Laughing brightly, Utsunomiya quickly said, "I'm going to let you know that the young man has noticed -!," disappeared from the door to the hallway as he sang.

Nah, I'm suspicious.
