Kuro no Senki (LN)

Cecily woke up on the bed, relieved.

My bedtime clothes are sweaty and stick to my skin and I feel sick.

If this is Viscount Hamal territory, I will order my servants to prepare for a hot bath, but it is Marquis Elakis territory that is here now.

Cecily in the Marquis of Elakis territory is not the son of the former Viscount Hamar.

Nominally a behavioral apprentice, actually a maid.

To Ladies Maid, Parlor Maid, Cock Maid, House Maid...... Whatever the number of maid roles, the newcomer Cecily is a lower end maid who is called everywhere to do chores, Maid All Works.

A lower end maid, Cecily has the luxury of not wanting to take a bath in the morning.

It doesn't make sense to yell out loud that you are a behavioral apprentice.

If you want luxury, you'll have to come out.

I don't know if I will be allowed to bathe in the morning by being born an advanced maid, but at least I have hope.

Cecily stepped out of bed and stretched her back.

"... it's clear that you've come this far."

The room is for two, but not that shady basement.

After the maid training, the room changed.

From the gap in the curtain, the sunlight is plugged in.

Furniture is a bed, a desk, a chair, a chest for putting clothes in.

They are simple to make but user-friendly.

Cecily took off her bedtime clothes and shook her body when she blurted.

Paid underwear doesn't feel good on the skin and seems too simple to look at.

"... wasting milk, it's not, is it? I can't help thinking about it. It's none of my business."

Cecily wears an apron dress.

Comb your hair with the supplied clothes and wear a headdress and you'll be ready.

He glanced at the other party who still wouldn't wake up, and Cecily sighed deeply.

"Mr. Verna, it's morning. If we don't get up soon, we're not gonna make it to breakfast, are we?

"... let me go to sleep."

When he grabs his shoulder and shakes it, Verna shakes it off depressingly.

If you're in maid training, I'll beat you up, but the penalty you can impose now is enough to skip breakfast.

"Well, I'll go first."

After thinking about it, Cecily decided to respect Verna's will.

We leave our room and head to the servant's cafeteria.

Gatsungutsungutsung on the way through the accountant hitting the wall.

That smells delicious, and when Cecily made her nose snap, someone ran from behind with the butterflies.

"Go away, you won't wake me up!

"I woke you right up."

Cecily slows her gait and walks shoulder to shoulder with Verna.

"It's polite to wake you until you wake up, isn't it?

"I only respected Mr. Verna's will."

Ahhh, and Verna scratched her hair.

"Mr. Verna, your clothes are messed up."

"I don't know how, 'cause I just woke up"

Cecily stopped and corrected the mess in Verna's outfit.

"Disturbance in clothing is a disturbance in my mind. By and large, sleeping isn't in itself proof that you're not conscious enough as a maid?

……

"What is it, those eyes?

Werna turned a frightened glance at me, Cecily asked.

"... stained the maid, huh?

"Think of what you're going to say."

Ha, and Cecily mocked Verna.

"I'm a maid. Trying to call me aristocrat, aristocrat, doesn't translate into being treated as a maid. If you insist on a dog as a cat, it won't ring, will it?

"You know exactly what words mean - but you've made up your mind to live as a maid anyway."

"No matter what you scratch, if you're treated as a maid, you have to show the value of being a maid."

Cecily sighed when she lost her option to escape.

The man's words are a curse.

I just have to be aware of it if it is put into words.

Entering the dining room for servants, Cecily and Verna receive bread and soup and baked fish at the dining table.

The seat where Cecily and Verna sit is at the end of the long table.

Cecily exhales and scratches the stew with a spoon.

"If you don't have an appetite, you do."

"Mr. Verna, this is so lame."

Making a noise, Verna sips the soup and cheeks the bread in her mouth.

Cecily devours the sumptuous meal.

"How dare you, well, that's all you can eat in the morning"

"Don't eat, you're powerless."

"You're gonna get fat, aren't you?

Cecily carries the bread into her mouth in small pieces.

"Do you care what they called a slab?

"No!

Was it a drawing star, Verna rode herself out and shouted.

"... but I'm expecting a little"

"I don't think you have anyone to show you where you've turned it up."

Cecily pointed out, Verna stripped out her teeth and laughed.

"No way, on that guy's watch"

"I didn't. But it's possible, isn't it?

"When you have an unfounded confidence, it's hard later, isn't it?

"I have my reasons. Yeah, I've been talking to Master Chrono a lot, and I've been getting candy balls and stuff."

Cecily sighed at Verna's figure to brag about.

"You're a cheap woman with candy balls."

It's not cheap.

"Good thing, Mr. Verna?

Cecily gracefully legs and points the tip of the spoon at Verna.

"A man is a creature who devours what a woman offers without thanking her. Besides, I have a side that I want to save that I think will only offer me the same next time. If you don't control the amount you give, you'll be shaken to the bone."

"You, have you ever dated a man?

"There isn't."

When Cecily ran out, Verna gave a frightened look.

"Wow."

"Of course."

Cecily strained her chest.

Cecily is a historic nobleman, even though she is a maid of honor.

I know as much as men and women rush.

"No, I didn't praise you. I've never been with a man before, but I'm scared he'll curse me like a bad guy."

"I don't want to be told by a woman who gets caged with one candy ball."

"Ahhh?

"Take it, will you stand?

As Verna embarked on herself, Cecily responded with her arms around her.

"Hey, stop fighting."

Pampered and an elf sitting next to him slapped his hand.

Is my age around twenty years old?

I cut all my golden hair around my shoulders.

The nose stands out, but it feels more adorable than beautiful.

With her left eye covered with a black eyelid, Cecily decided to call her an eye patch.

"You think I like Krono, too, don't you?

"I know how you feel, because Master Chrono is basically nice to everyone. Even candy balls have piles of sugar in them."

Eyepatch put his arms together and frowned hard.

"About a pile of sugar? What do you mean?

"Something about being able to take sugar from beet grown near the hashel... Oh, keep growing it, it looks like there's a problem, something about quitting selling it"

The eye patch doesn't seem to know the details, but if you try Cecily it's a stunning fact.

The sugar is purified from the juice of a plant called sugar cane.

The Empire relies on imports because there is no suitable land for sugar cane cultivation, but if sugar can be refined from outside sugar cane, the story changes.

No, if you monopolize how you cultivate it, you get a huge fortune.

"Don't get me wrong if I say what you want to say."

"Well, that's a good place to work if you're so nice from time to time."

"That sort of thing"

Is that guy sweet? and Cecily looked at Verna and Eyepatch on the side.

"Is there something you want to say?

"Are you insane that that man is kind?

When Cecily inquired, Verna tied her mouth like a muck.

"Don't return questions with questions. Well, if you say so, Cecily hasn't been spoken to by Master Chrono."

"Instead of being talked about, they're looking at you like you can't even look down."

It would still be more emotional to watch the stones rolling on the side of the road.

"You, what have you done?

"I didn't do anything."

"Really?"

Verna looked at Cecily with a frigid odor.

"I've been beating up Master Krono before."

"That one! Because that man whispered shameful words in his ear!

Cecily threw up.

What kind of desire that man has for himself.

Even if I just remembered it, it sucks.

"Beating Master Chrono isn't as good as the Empress Tilia"

"Hehe, you look like you're close."

"We're close... well, aren't we good? It feels like Princess Tilia is looking forward to sleeping with Master Chrono."

Cecily sighed. I don't want to believe that an empress of a country would happily open her crotch to the son of such a riser.

"It's awesome. Are you good at Chrono-sama?

"Talk about being so strong."

Ignoring the exuberant Verna and Eye Patch, Cecily continued her meal.

Serious, people-friendly, gentle to everyone, and quite sexually proud are the servants' ratings for Chrono.

But not from Cecily's point of view.

It may be serious, people-friendly, and gentle, but that's not all.

What I recall is the body of an enemy soldier who was rolling into the hills of the Holy Argo Empire.

If you look at the body of an enemy soldier who was so severely damaged that you want to turn away, it's obvious what that man did.

That's what the devil does.

Cecily is working with Verna to clean the devil's office.

The sharing is Cecily cleaning the floor, and Verna cleaning the furniture and conditioning.

"Are you also complaining about something?

"... no, nothing"

Cecily looked back and said, the man...... Chrono replied with an unpleasant look on his face.

"Thank you for cleaning the office."

Thankfully, it was in a tone that I didn't even feel the shards.

Cecily gets annoyed by Chrono's attitude.

"Ooh, don't skip. Move your hands. I have to clean the bathroom after this."

Chipped his tongue and Cecily resumed cleaning.

Looking back over his shoulder, Chrono looked at Verna with a tender look.

That's also until Cecily realizes she's watching.

When Cecily notices you're watching, Chrono obviously makes you look uncomfortable.

That's not all.

Chrono's voice is gentle when speaking to Verna.

Even though it's low when Cecily says things like she pushed them away.

Why don't you at least admit that you're getting used to your job? and Cecily teeth with her back to Chrono.

Cecily prides herself on making long-legged progress.

I can work efficiently now, and I can do laundry by myself.

Alyssa, the maid chief, praises me, and so much so that the cock maid general leaves her breath as impressed.

And yet Chrono is the only one who doesn't admit it.

I have a sense of hatred.

We should have had the worst impression of each other since we met.

Different values in the first place.

Chrono mocks honor, tramples on battlefield reason, and blasphemes the dead.

I don't know how many times I wanted you to die.

Cecily's wishes are also vain, and Chrono is fulfilling his survival.

The first is in the Kingdom of Holy Argo and the second on the southern border.

"... why"

Squeeze small.

Twice Chrono made his living from a desperate place of death.

No, I hear that even the invasion of the divine kingdom of Argo, which has become a cut off for Chrono to become the Marquis, has masked and prevented a desperate difference in power.

Overcoming three degrees of despair, the new aristocrats on the southern border if they are aware...... the Son of the Beginner is in a position to treat Cecily as a maid.

"I'm done over here, but how about that one?

Cecily was drawn back to reality by Verna's words.

"Yeah, this one's over."

"Then it would be good. Then we'll go to the next place."

"Good luck."

Chrono called me, and Verna scratched her cheek in the light.

Out in the hallway, Verna looked at Cecily with her eyes like she said something.

Ignore your gaze. Cecily goes to her next place of work...... bath.

"Ooh, isn't that something?

"... you have no choice."

"It's not like they're harassing me. You're an adult, aren't you?"

Guru, and Cecily got stuck in words.

"Even Mr. Verna would sell me a fight, wouldn't he?

"Cecily and I are the same now, aren't we? Not really, but Master Chrono and Cecily are in a different position."

"I know for a reason."

Verna sighed as if she were frightened.

"Even if you know by reason, you can't move on to action."

"I know that too."

I know.

I also know that my position and suddenly I am not in a friendly relationship should sever my emotions and work as a maid.

But I'm not emotionally convinced.

Clean the bath without difficulty, clean the kitchen again without difficulty, and transfer the written documents out of the office to a paper workshop in the garden of the Marquis residence.

I'm not sure why, but the rewritten documents are pieces of paper at the time Cecily and Verna recover them.

Cecily and Verna pack large quantities of paper pieces into a Zuta bag and sink them into a special container provided in the paper workshop.

I used the expression sink because the inside of the container is filled with water.

Don't forget to stir with a stick to sink quickly either.

Thereafter, the paper pieces are recycled in the paper workshop after the ink removal procedure has been carried out.

The reclaimed paper is degraded in quality, so it is used to write down a little something in the affairs, or it is paid to Chrono's men that they are being cadet educated.

"... that's the other half"

"Half of it is a hell of a water haul, though."

Cafeteria for servants...... sat at the end of the seat and Cecily sighed deeply.

Water transport is the least popular job.

Keep carrying water in buckets from the well to the upstairs and upstairs bathrooms.

I'm sick of it because even though it's a tight job, I have to carry water two places.

It's the last time Cecily and Verna can take a bath even if we carry the water ourselves.

The late shift rep seems to be able to take a hot bath as soon as he finishes his job, so I can't wait for a little late shift.

Well, even late shifts are going to be Cecily and Verna in charge of Hell's water hauling, so I can't let go and be happy.

"... you treat it well here ~"

"What was your life like?

"Helping stores around there, picking up garbage and selling it, sucking wallets?

"I know exactly what a criminal you are."

Oh, well, Verna turned to me like she was rotten.

"When you get used to it, remember the letters."

"That's a special concern. Literature enriches my heart."

"I'm not interested in literature just because I don't want to damage it."

I guess Verna has been sipped boiled water many times.

Perhaps past events are influencing the strange indulgence towards Chrono.

I felt like I could do it with a little cooperation.

"Unfortunately, Dr. Weissman's class is filled with appointments."

It was the eye patch that spoke from the side.

"Are you serious?

"Super Serious"

When Verna asked, Eyepatch replied in a mild tone.

"Ancient soldiers now, new recruits next... it feels like Verna's turn is next."

"Well, it's free."

Verna put her arms behind her head and muttered as she told herself.

"Mr. Verna, would you mind if I taught you some letters?

"If you say so, Cecily was noble."

"I'm still a nobleman!

Uh-huh, Verna roared to think about it.

"... stop it. I'm glad to hear that."

"Why?

"You don't seem to be good at teaching Cecily. Running out on it doesn't suit you."

Not sure which is the real deal, but Verna is trying to avoid friction with her surroundings, Cecily decided to think.

"We don't care about running out or anything?

"You don't care, do you? I'm a newcomer, so I need to keep pace in the first place."

It looks like it's too much, but Verna seems to think a lot about it as Verna.

"I really don't care, but maybe that too. If I were in the same position, I'd read the air a little bit."

"It would be nice to get paid properly."

"Right. I was wondering what happens when you get hurt."

As Verna put her arms together and nodded satisfactorily, Eyepatch muttered with a slightly lower voice.

"If you say so, you're a former soldier."

"Ma'am. I was an archer, but I was blind, I couldn't grasp the distance, and I retired."

Eye patches stroke the eye bands.

"It was a terrible fight. I guess there's no such thing as a bad fight, but it was a terrible fight anyway."

The tone of the eye patch was unnaturally mild, whether it was the result of an attempt to contain emotions.

"I managed to survive and get treatment... but when I could afford it, I had to figure out how to shake myself or something. I guess that time was the tightest."

Eyepatch poked his cheek wand and gave him a worrying look.

"Pah, it doesn't look like a lot of them are hurt?

"Well, on the outside (look at that), yeah. Actually, it's been over a year and the wound hasn't healed, or it's still a nightmare. It's still like this, so I didn't feel hopeless then. Oh, you can't do it anymore, so much so that you can realize that your body functions, your mind (Nanami) is rattled... so when I heard you would hire me as a maid, I was relieved ~"

"Didn't that guy create the cause of the injury in the first place?

The expression disappears from the eye patch's face, but it's also an instant event.

"I don't deny the consequences of following Master Chrono's orders, but I'm trying to think of it as a different matter from this."

"Just don't worry about it, it"

Hmm? And strangely the eye patch tilted its neck.

"How can you be so relieved?

"I'm Chrono-sama's maid."

"That's not the answer."

Cecily was unconvinced and pointed her lips.

In the evening, Cecily lowered her hips to the wellbore and leaned her gaze.

There's Verna looking neat there.

"Mr. Verna, shouldn't we get a little more strength?

"Don't compare me to the guy in the army."

I do feel sorry for you compared to me and the ex-soldiers. I guess it's muscle to talk to the maid chief here......, and Cecily put her arms together.

Given Verna's strength, it would be best to have her assigned a job other than water carrying.

But given Verna's character, it can't be the best choice.

"... you'll have to let me do my best until Mr. Verna's minute."

"I didn't ask for it."

When Cecily squirmed in a sigh, Verna told her to throw it away.

"It's something I do on my own. You don't have to be sick."

"Evil."

Cecily closed her eyes and nodded small.

Kang, that's when I heard the sound of Kang.

It's not the sound of a workshop dwarf hammering.

Similar to the sound of meeting swords.

After a while I realized it was the sound of a wooden sword meeting.

"Hey, where are you going?"

……

Cecily relied on the sound of a sword trident to go for the place.

That said, the grounds of the Marquis Mansion are limited.

Without straying, Cecily arrived on the spot and encountered a scene where Chrono and Fay met the wooden sword.

Cecily despairs of the sight.

Faye was beautiful.

It is beautiful to see the tip of a wooden sword in magnificent steps, or even a blow at the mercy of power.

Cecily knows Faye's strength.

No, I was under the illusion that I knew.

I was going to be reminded that that was the extreme of the sword.

But Faye's body sweep was more streamlined than it was back then, and the trajectory the wooden sword drew was sharper.

Compared to Faye, it is inferior to Krono's swordsmanship and other plays.

Chrono's sword cannot even touch Faye in the evidence.

Chrono rolls the attack that Faye sporadically launches, and immediately rises up and escapes the chase.

The difference in strength is obvious.

Still, Faye takes Chrono seriously.

I recognize those who are far inferior to me as more than reciprocal, paying attention to each and every one of them.

I knew immediately why.

He threw the wooden sword that Chrono had in his possession.

Faye strikes down the wooden sword as he had predicted, slamming a punch on Chrono's body.

He was struck by a blow all over his body and Chrono exposed himself defenseless against Faye.

Now it's stuffed.

At least that's what Cecily decided.

But Chrono and Faye had that ahead of them.

The glow of pitch black colours Chrono's body like barbarian warfare makeup.

It is' engraving '… a secret handed down to the barbarians of the Aleos Mountains.

He rolls his elbow out of the state where Chrono has finished firing a blow all over his body.

Impossible blow.

Normally, they would have slapped him in the elbow.

But Faye was different.

He took Chrono's elbow with a wooden sword belly.

Chrono and Faye leave so they can play.

I should say again, Faye is quicker to rebuild his posture.

Faye wraps around the kamikaze 'kamikaze' and kicks the ground to pack the intermission.

Gakun and Faye's body sink in.

A shadow tangled around his ankle sealed Faye's movement.

When Faye stepped out, the shadow cut off lightly.

Faye falls ill with a thousand shadows lightly cut.

It was a measure that poked at the assumption that shadows sealed with explosive acceleration could not be easily cut by a thousand.

As a measure, I'm too sorry.

But it is also true that the measure bought about two blinks of time.

The glow of pitch-black cleaves the space.

Chrono uses the power of 'engraving' to pack the distance from Faye at an unstoppable speed.

The next moment, Chrono was dancing through the universe.

I jumped under Faye.

Chrono, who spinned enough to be ridiculous to count in the air, was slapped to the ground and stopped moving.

The glow of pitch-black blinks irregularly and disappears completely.

It wasn't much of a settlement.

It would be nice to call it unusual.

"... are you surrendering?

"I thought I could win today."

Chrono woke up looking like a hundred million bucks and sat down on the spot.

"It's a difference in experience."

"'My whole body is defeated,' is it?

"Master Chrono is mean."

Faye dyed her cheeks to the vermilion in embarrassment.

Chrono gets up and walks out toward the Marquis Mansion.

He stops in front of Cecily and Chrono carelessly puts his hand on his neck muscle.

"Did you have fun?

"Yeah, it was a heartwarming show."

"I'll do my best next time so you can have some more fun."

That ended the conversation.

Cecily chases Chrono with only her gaze.

I stopped chasing him right away, but I'm intensely aware of the signs of moving away, the sound of the door closing.

"Why are you selling fights?

"I don't sell fights."

For some reason, my chest got upset.

For some reason, it's annoying.

That's all the sight played out in front of me is that Chrono was defeated while doing the small work.

"A little more palm...... hey!

"That's what sells fights."

As he tried to speak to Fay, Verna picked Cecily's flank.

Or eagled.

"Hey, what are you doing?

"I can see it."

Cohon and Cecily cough to change their mind.

The fact that Fay had a pocan look on his face drives him out of consciousness.

"Isn't that supposed to be an archery?

"Archaeology with Master Chrono is a study."

Clearly Faye denies Cecily's words.

Of course, I know that even Cecily was seriously archaic.

Otherwise, I wouldn't pay as much attention.

"That greed for victory is a place to learn."

"It's just a handyman."

"If the Krono and I had fought before we came to the Marquis of Elakis, the result might have been the opposite."

The sword, and Faye strokes the sword raised from his waist.

"It's not an absolute force. Even if we multiply the power of divine art, it is to such an extent that we are rendered powerless by local interests, measures, experience and simple small craftsmanship. So one day, Master Chrono's efforts may bear fruit."

Cecily loses her word.

I felt there was a desperate separation. I knew it wasn't as big a difference as I thought it was, but therefore.

Cecily finally realizes the annoying and frustrating identity of her chest.

Faye hasn't seen Cecily.

Faye only sees Cecily when it hurts and does so to someone she knows, or when she is despised of someone she knows.

While Chrono was the same ordinary person as Cecily, he was recognized by Fay as more than equal.

Now Cecily thinks.

I wondered how likely it was that I had ever given up, cut off as unnecessary, and turned my back.

Cecily sighed on the bed.

After a day of work, I also took a meal.

I took a bath, and then I just went to bed.

Exhale.

Occupying Cecily's chest was a regret for escaping, something he had thrown away so far...... an untrained sword, a position, an untrained battalion to which he belonged.

Cecily held untrained while watching Chrono.

Chrono, an ordinary man, became recognized as more than equal to Faye, a genius.

I wondered if I could have reached the realm of genius if I hadn't given up myself.

... you're untrained, and Cecily sighed.

Time will not return.

My brother shouldn't allow Cecily to return to the army if he wants to.

My brother has an extremely moderate personality, but would prioritize the territory if I were to say which would prioritize the territory or Cecily.

Again, Cecily exhaled.

I wanted to ask.

What did Chrono cherish and for what did he overcome his abstention?

But even as I ask, I'm hated by Chrono.

Now I don't know what to look like and go see him.

"Exhale all the time, what's wrong with you?

"I've been thinking a little bit."

Huh, and Cecily leaned down and sighed not knowing how many times it would be.

"So you're talking about Master Chrono, right?

"You don't have to look so proud."

"I saw it as a reversal of favor that I had ever behaved in a defiant manner towards Master Chrono"

"Mr. Verna's eyes are a pit."

"... don't look at me like that"

I can't even tell Cecily what kind of eyes I'm looking at, but Verna shrugged very spicidly.

"You shouldn't be sighing. You should go apologize."

"If it's that easy, I'm not bothered."

"Cecily's making it difficult, isn't she? I didn't do anything, but Cecily's making me look terrible, so just apologize. I don't want to work in a giddy atmosphere anymore."

Verna said as she rolled over the bed with her right, left, right.

Well, you do bother Mr. Verna about us, and Cecily only reflects a little.

"I get it. You can't bother Mr. Verna any more. I can't help it. I don't like it, but I'm going to apologize to that man."

"I don't want you to apologize that much, do I?

It seemed like Verna was saying something, but Cecily ignored it and got out of bed.

Put your arms through the apron dress you were preparing to wear tomorrow and stroke your messy hair with your hands.

"... Mr. Verna, would you please come with me?

"Ugh, come apologize to me alone."

Verna said it seemed so unpleasant that there was no more.

"Didn't Mr. Verna tell you to come apologize!

"I made the cause, Cecily!

"Nothing. I don't want to apologize. Verna says, I have no choice but to apologize."

"Ugh."

Meanwhile, Verna stepped out of bed looking troublesome.

Chirali and I will gaze at the apron dress to wear tomorrow, but Verna will head to the door as she bites off the stretch, apparently deciding she doesn't mind if she looks asleep.

"Look, let's just go apologize"

"If that's what Mr. Verna says, I can't help it."

"... super"

Led by Verna, Cecily heads to Chrono's room.

The air in the hallway is cold enough to give me goosebumps.

"I forgot something."

"What is it?

Cecily asked, tilting her neck.

If it's an apology item, you won't need it, and tomorrow is well prepared.

"What would you do if you were in the middle of nocturnal games?

"Shouldn't we wait until it's over?

"In the hallway?

"Though I think we should wait in the hallway?

Verna gave a subtle look.

"No, it's not like I'm not interested either, is it?

"I'd like to avoid buying any more upsets."

"Well, you know what... you feel like visiting a man's room late this evening"

After all, Verna doesn't seem to be in the mood for a ride.

I don't think Cecily should visit a man's room late at night either, but wouldn't goodness say hurry.

"... who is it?

Speaking on the dance floor of the stairs, Cecily and Verna stopped on their feet.

Raising her gaze, Faye stood in her sleeping clothes.

It seems to be fay when you say that you look like a fay in your bedroom but you are raising your sword from your waist.

"What is it like for both of you?

"No, hey..."

"I'm just here to see Master Chrono."

As Verna caged her mouth, Cecily took a step and answered.

"What are you doing here?

"What do you want, you're the only one?"

Faye slipped away from Cecily and Verna at first sight and said something with a mosquito ringing voice.

"I can't hear you."

"So... too bad"

Faye leaned over with his arms together.

It was as if we were trying not to face each other.

"Why don't you say it a little louder?

"… night games, is"

Silence descends.

Couldn't stand that silence, Faye was still leaning her body in a way that seemed to collapse.

"... should I wait until it's over?

"You don't have to wait! I want you to do your errands quickly and when you have your errands, get away from Master Chrono's room as soon as possible!

Faye told him to roll up and gave way to Cecily and Verna.

I keep my eyes peeled against the wall.

Cecily follows Verna to Chrono's room.

He stopped in front of Chrono's room and took a big, deep breath.

"Mr. Verna, how many times do you think Knock would be appropriate?

"Knock as many times as you want."

Three times, Cecily knocked on the door.

There was no reply, so when I interpreted it as acknowledging and opened the door, the white light of the magic item irritated my eyes.

Chrono was doing something to his desk.

Chrono rests his hands and slowly turns back to Cecily and Verna.

Chrono opens his eyes to surprise and soon becomes the kind of eye he sees the usual nagging objects.

"... what can I do for you?

Cecily regretted it.

I wasn't thinking about apologizing for Verna if I wanted to talk to her enough to turn this gaze on her.

Hey, you're apologizing, right? and Verna poking Cecily in the back with her elbow.

Chrono is poking his cheek wand in a grumpy manner.

"... you are"

Cecily squeezed out her voice.

My legs trembled.

Also, the fear rises that something will be seen through.

I'm too scared, I shake my head.

This man, with his own experience and insight, nursed Cecily as inferior.

You can't be that far away from humans.

"How can you hold the sword? You understand that no matter how hard you try, you can't reach heights, right? It doesn't make any sense if the genius makes an effort."

After Cecily finished saying it, she noticed.

If I hadn't given up, I could have reached the realm of genius myself.

Cecily doesn't believe that.

It's just a wish.

It's like prayer.

Chrono strokes his right eye quietly.

You look like you're thinking of something, and you look like you're anticipating the timing.

"... I know, I can't believe the genius can't say how much effort I put into it. Sometimes I think I'm wasting my efforts. But better than not doing anything and regretting it"

Chrono told me to exhale.

"What do you hold the sword for?

"My men, for those who feel like me. And for myself. I don't want to be the worst scumbag from myself."

Now it's time Cecily was beaten.

Chrono continues his efforts for what he believes is worth.

If he escapes, he'll be the worst scumbag ever, so he'll be stuck.

Cecily escaped for fear of facing inferiority before being undervalued.

The last thing I said was that I was noble.

But how can you boast of running, running, running, and the last thing that comes with you?

I will spare no effort to keep one or more of my men alive.

If he had such thoughts, his dialogue was right then.

"You... are not the son of a lowly mercenary."

Yeah? And Krono jumps up one eyebrow in surprise.

I can't help but react.

I can't believe Cecily's having this change of heart.

"You are a proud nobleman. Please, forgive my previous disrespect."

"I don't care."

Now it was Cecily's turn to jump up a single eyebrow.

Do you harass people as obstinately as those who don't care? And I was in the mood to question him for about an hour, but I felt bad for myself.

This is going to put him to sleep, and Cecily gently followed Chrono's room.

Chrono was looking down at Cecily with an evil grin.

Cecily sits on the floor and looks up at Chrono.

Chrono narrowed his eyes so that he could put his utmost hatred into his sight, but even that hatred was comfortable.

Understanding what an evil grin meant, Cecily tried to escape.

But Chrono won't let Cecily get away with it.

"Yu, dreams, dreams, right?

Cecily jumped up and repeated her rough breath.

It's a terrible nightmare, and I held my head on the bed.

I apologized.

You apologized properly, so you shouldn't be offended like that.

But there is no guarantee that the words whispered in my ear a few days ago will not materialize.

What if it wasn't whispered in punitive terms, but that's what Chrono meant? and Cecily felt her palpitations quicken.

"... it's still before dawn, isn't it?

"Yeah, I'm going to sleep another night!

In the end, Cecily didn't sleep until the night was white and started working in a state of sleep deprivation.
