From Mr. Volk's study, we moved to Ariane's room.

"With that said, has Ray been to Amelia and Senior Rebecca's house too?

"There is. I'm sorry to bother you both in your room."

"Oh, yes..."

"What's wrong with you?

She suddenly looks pale or in a hurry.

"Ray, you mustn't tell those two especially if you're here today."

"? For any reason?

Why you should not tell Amelia and Senior Rebecca that you visited Ariane's house.

Maybe she does something big, too?

"This is advice from the maiden. Whoa!

Despite being in the hallway, she puts her index finger on my chest with a ton of fingers when she looks zui.

Because of the seriousness of the situation, it was decided to accept it, although the particular reason is unknown.

"Advice, thank you. I don't know, but let's keep it quiet for both of us."

"Yep. I like that."

Return the heel.

I tried to chase after him, and I arrived.

"Okay, go ahead."

"Excuse me."

Give a gentle thank you and go into Ariane's room.

Initial impression is a simple room. That was the thing.

Seniors Amelia and Rebecca were somewhat obsessed with the interior as well. Never flashy, but I did think it was an aristocratic maid's room there.

Ariane's room, on the other hand, was qualitative. Table in bed. Besides, as much as I have a closet, I have nothing to highlight.

If you insist, dumbbells and other muscle tread tools in the corners of the room stand out.

But that doesn't make this room gorgeous.

Would Ariane, in one way or another, have a flashy impression but not much attention to the interior?

"You look surprisingly primitive..."

"I'm sorry. Was it on your face?

"It's okay. I'm very stylish about myself, but I wish I could sleep in a different room."

Smile gently with Nicole.

Ariane-Olgren.

I recognised once again that I seemed to know her and still didn't know her very well.

"Okay, call me."

"Excuse me."

Try to pinch the table and we'll head over. At the same time, the sound of the door being knocked carefully sounds.

"You can come in."

When Ariane says so, the door opens quietly.

"Excuse me. Ladies, I've brought tea and sweets."

A maid of honor on the spot.

She puts tea and afternoon tea stands on the table. And serve the treat beautifully on that stand.

Cookies on cake. Plus, there's a little treat I don't know.

"Now I beg your pardon."

One more thank you and I'm leaving this place.

"May I have a moment, please?"

"Oh. Thank you, I'll take it."

Ariane and I had never spent time like this before.

When I look at her lightly, she drinks tea in a very graceful manner and also hands on sweets.

The Lady of the Three Nobles is not Dade, but perhaps has a solid education.

Ariane today seemed a more sophisticated and very attractive woman than usual.

"? What's going on? Look at me."

Not good.

Have you fallen in love with me a little?

I honestly apologize here.

"I'm sorry. What Ariane did was too graceful. I was in love."

"... be!

I drop cookies on the spot polo.

She only had a little cherry blossom stained cheeks like that.

"... Ray. You're against everyone, aren't you?

"Absolutely. I want to be honest with everyone."

"Ha... I can see those two struggle too..."

"Those two?

"This is the story."

After that, after a whispering tea time, Ariane has cut out a certain topic.

"Ray, I need to talk to you a little bit."

Looks serious sometime.

Those eyes are shooting at me.

"Let's talk"

Then I put it away for a while and she has cut it out like this.

"I... that. Is there still room for growth?

……

Moisturizing eyes.

That was definitely shaking.

It was clear from my eyes that Ariane had room for growth. But to say that you are going to ask such a question… you think that the person has not been able to feel the growth.

"Yes. Ariane is still on her way. Neither do I."

"... if you're on the way, I think almost all magicians are on the way."

"That's right. I don't think there's a finished magician."

"... yes"

"Maybe about Amelia...... no, the causal butterflies (butterfly effects)?

Ask the cause of Ariane's troubles in a straightforward manner.

Ariane laughs mocking herself when she raises her hands just to say she's come.

"Hehe. Sounds like a prospect. Let me tell you a little bit about the past."

Second, stare out through the window.

And Ariane starts talking about that past.

"Amelia and I have been very close for a long time to say that we are the same age. But Amelia, troubled by the way the aristocrats were... left me. No word ever arrived."

……

I'll shut up and listen to the story.

"Then I began to strive for Amelia. Believe me that staying her goal is what I can do."

"... right"

"But if Amelia goes ahead of herself like this... I'm just going to be a little frustrated. Oh… I'm sure this is what Amelia was feeling… I noticed recently."

Lie down.

The behavior was not like her usual.

Ariane's weakness to try for the first time. But I would never fool around with it.

All men are weak creatures. Even if he is the Seven Sorcerers, he is no stranger to it.

I know that's normal because I've touched many people's hearts before. And myself, I've had help from different people.

So I'm sure I want to help someone from now on in order to reward them.

"I'm just hot, I just need to move on. I know that's right, but I'm really lost. Can we just keep this up? Can I grow up like this? I've also heard stories about premature mages. Genius at a young age. But as it grows, it becomes mediocre. I can't wait to be scared of it..."

He holds his own shoulder and is slightly trembling.

I have been in contact with the ladies of the three great nobles and I think... that they are constantly exposed to great pressure "pressure".

I guess they are asked to look like they should be as the three nobles.

That's what I've seen and felt about Amelia and Senior Rebecca.

Ariane is also still lost. Believe in yourself, even if you're moving on, one day the time will come for you to stop.

That's what happened to me.

"Ariane."

Stand up.

And then lean closer to her side and gently wrap those two hands around her.

"For everyone, there are times like that. There was a time for me to stagnate."

"Really?

"Oh. But then there were people around to help. So I was able to reach the status of [Ice Sword Mage]. A man must not live alone. So let me help Ariane."

"... is that okay?

Eyes shaking, staring.

I respond to Ariane with perseverance.

"Absolutely. That's why you said you wanted to team up with us in this massive sorcery battle, Magics War, right?

"Right...... right. I wanted to know Amelia's secret. How could you have grown so much? That's where we got there, Ray..."

"Right. Then let's go for the victory. There must be something ahead that Ariane is looking for."

"Yes...... is it?

"Ah. Definitely. Trust me."

Once again, I hold both of those hands.

Ariane then rises to momentum on the spot.

"Ok!"

I'm just a little surprised to see Pa and her slapping herself on the cheek thoughtfully. That was definitely because I wasn't doing anything.

When I saw it, my cheeks were red and swollen.

"I'm not going to uzzle anymore. Are you following Ray? Therefore lead me. Thank you very much."

Ariane has done so and bowed her head deeply.

Of course I accept that.

"It's nice to meet you again"

"Yep."

Shake hands.

In its eyes resided a strong will.

I'm sure a human being named me will continue to touch the thoughts of many. Each time, we grow together through minds and minds with others.

I still think.

People can't live alone.
