I Swear I Won’t Bother You Again!

Violet returned home that day as usual... perhaps a little late. There is no doubt that the thought of not wanting to stay at home makes my feet heavier. When I told her that I had changed it on my own so that I could eat in my room, she smiled with a pleasant but anxious face. Elephant's words are poisoning Violet. It seems that words such as "together as much as possible" didn't have a profound meaning, and even if I told her I was absent, I just nodded with a smile. I think the margin is too scary.

She seems obsessed and doesn't want to monopolize it. Love for Violet in front of her does not force her to be bound. At first glance, it's a diagram of my stepmother wanting to narrow her distance from her stepdaughter. The feelings that are hidden inside aren't so cute.

"Cissui-san, have you served Violet's share yet?

No, not now.

"She doesn't seem to have an appetite, so please take a few minutes."

"Copy that... hey, Mari"

"... I think it's still okay."

"Good. Come and tell me before you get serious."

"Yes"

He glanced at Marine's expression while working hard, and said so without blaming her. The cause of Violet's loss of appetite is probably mental for now. I have told others that I am ill, but it is only a matter of time before it becomes a fact. Violet is not weak, but her mind and body are close, and her body sinks slowly when she feels weak.

I would like to take measures as soon as possible to support Violet's body. People's flesh and blood are the end of what they eat, and because the mind and body are intimate, the good health of the body sometimes restores the mind. It is the responsibility of Cissuit to take charge of it, and above all, it is a priority task.

And Marine's mission is to support the shaking spirit.

Same time of day, less time in the hallway. After cleaning up Violet's dinner and taking the empty plates to the kitchen. Do you always help with dishwashing and then help Violet bathe or prepare after bathing? But today, I have to focus on something else.

"Cissy, can I ask you to leave?"

"Oh, I don't mind."

"Thank you, excuse me."

The greeting was there, and he turned his back to the kitchen with his quick feet. I didn't mean to be in a hurry, but I was really distracted by the hurry. This time, which everyone would have worked to clean up in their places, won't last that long. Once the meal is finished and the bath is ready, more people will come and go in and out of the hallway. I always think that there is an extra number to take care of four people, but Violet just makes himself a lot, and there are many maids and butlers per person. In the case of Violet, my mother hated those who approached Violet to the extreme, so she still won't leave anyone beside Marine.

Move your legs at the same rhythm as your heartbeat. It wasn't that loud, but I didn't like to hear it because I was aware of people's eyes. There are carpets, so they should be practically silent.

There are three telephones in this mansion. The first is the office, which is an old workplace, and the second is the office. These two are risky for Marine to use. The first is unspeakable, and the second is the difficulty of being easily heard by people because of the use of the room. As a result, Marine can only choose the third one, which is placed in the hall. It was placed almost exclusively to receive it. It is rarely used by people, and if you are careful, you will not hear the contents even if your voice sounds.

There was no one in the blowout hall as expected. People's signs and sounds are far away, but I felt more at ease than resting. The lack of popularity after sunset, on the contrary, invites anxiety and fear.

Pick up a wasteful phone on a cat's chest. Even though the performance should all be the same, it is much larger and honestly heavier than what Marine saw when she was in church. Honestly, if you don't have support, your hands will soon get tired. Turn the dial and attach your hand to the outlet.

After several sounds, something broke and connected.

─ ─ Kuglus Mansion.

Soft and quiet, yet sound right. Because the pronunciation of each letter is beautiful, the voice of a woman is easy to hear on the phone. I'm sure it's the same for any person who sets it a little higher. This technique is used to make people who can't see their faces recognize their mood correctly.

"Excuse me for calling suddenly. My name is Marine and I am an acquaintance of your son, Yuran-sama. I'd like to talk to Yuran-sama this time, so could you please take care of it?"

There was no more calm left to look at the sentences that I had finished with a breath. The sound of your heart rushing to its limit sounds, and even a few seconds of silence feels endless. Suffer a bouncing breath and find out what to say first by fully running your brain.

The sweat on your forehead slipped off. The voice of the telephone call shook instably.

─ ─ I'm sorry... Yuran-sama is out right now.

"Eh...?

─ ─ You are scheduled to return home in two days.

"... is that so?"

─ ─ If you have anything to say, I'll do it.

"I, uh... I'm fine. I'll call you back."

─ ─ I was afraid.

"Thank you very much. Excuse me."

Lower your head to the invisible person and undo the phones you can't hear anymore. I should have lowered the heavy machine, but now it's much heavier.

(It's okay, calm down, it's still okay. Two days later, he hasn't come back yet, and he hasn't noticed anything yet. If only I had time ─ ─)

He put his hand on a heartbeat that was about to break through his chest and exhaled many times. Tell yourself it's okay. The agitated brain slowly cools down in agitation and confusion.

Oh, Marine.

"Hmm..."

It's an illusion that you're seemingly calm, but you're actually much narrower than usual.
