"Well, my question is next."
Mel, with her forehead, stared at me with her pretty face and bright red eyes.
"You were scamming your abilities, weren't you? Why?"
As soon as I did, my head was cold, as opposed to my heart moving faster. Still, my face gave me the usual smile.
Be cool when it's a pinch. If they get distracted and hold the pace completely, it's over. Because your status and your smartness are above you.
It's okay, if there's really no problem where it was known. Mel will never know about me in her previous life. I don't show weakness.
"The question is abstract and I don't understand. Please elaborate."
"Fine. … I spoke to every tutor in your history. You've been around ever since you were a child... and in some ways you've learned that childhood is better and weirder."
Mel arms in front of her body and narrows her eyes to observe my reaction crumbly.
... Uh, shit. In this world, because of poor transportation and lack of household registration, it is extraordinarily difficult to find people compared to previous life. That's why I was alarmed. I didn't know you were washed from childhood without putting a thread on that much gold… I was proud that no one noticed you had cut it, but I didn't know you'd find out from there.
"You had some abilities in your childhood, especially excellence. For example, it's math, for example, it's reading and writing. But being too good to keep up with the competencies of the tutors who were only employed in terms of educating young children. That's why the Swallow family hired a new teacher who excelled in Miso's discipline of outstanding subjects. Then you start to stumble."
"Not to mention at first, it's normal to stumble, right?
"Yeah, normal."
Mel lightly affirms her objectionable words. Then you shoot me through with a red eye.
"But I thought I was listening. He says it's like he's adjusting himself to" normal. "
I felt bitter. I might have been tasting Mel for a bit.
"I heard from the first tutor. At the time, in her first class, she made probation questions and tested how much you could do at the moment.... you must have had trouble with that. I didn't know how much that would be judged" normal "and made the mistake of being too much in some subjects. Then, as I understood the average, I gradually and deliberately stumbled on it to match" normal. "
Mel's story, like a detective, was unfounded, but it was all true. You can give her a flower circle, except she doesn't know what the motive is.
Because I didn't know that some subject levels were considerably lower in this world than in previous life. The world's knowledge level description could not have been incorporated in a single romantic game for a long time.
And when you think I'm too retarded, my parents order me to be caged. So in light of the common sense developed in my previous life, I answered to the extent that I thought it would be normal if I could do it so far at this age.
Then I noticed my failure trivially in the tutor's reaction and made adjustments as Mel said. I made my standing "normal". That was at an unnoticed rate if you were involved as a party. Slowly. Slowly.
"So your grades at school are all above average. I can't blame it, but it's not particularly noticeable. It was made as fast as possible."
How did you find out until my grades… there was no ranking in the school. The power of Conne and gold is strong.
... Even Nica didn't deny that my abilities were above average. I'm afraid of Mel's curiosity and exploration. Thanks to you, I lost a little room in my heart. You'll be sleeping feathers like mud today.
"Say the question again. Why did you fraud your abilities by making such adjustments?
I turned my thoughts around in my brain and instantly made the choice not to say anything from the truth.
"Because I didn't want my parents to expect me to."
That was true indeed.
"You knew I was almost under house arrest, didn't you? To my parents I was a tool. If they don't think they can use it, will they break it or can they throw it away? But on the contrary, if it was used too much, it would have forced it to the fullest extent possible and made it a consumable. I had to be there for the least I could do to protect me."
It was a minimum usable existence, so I could be a civilian. If I could use it too much, I wouldn't get it truncated, and if I couldn't use it at least, I might have been destroyed or thrown away in the middle of my dream before my engagement was broken.
To what extent, I saw Liliana in Ladillo and knew.
"If you worked hard to stretch that without hiding your abilities, maybe you could have been a great man. But I didn't want to be great."
What I wanted to be was a civilian. That's just one thing.
"… generally within expectations. But if we're talking about this now, there's one contradiction. You know what I mean?"
"Right. It's hard to believe that you lied and break your vows, so let me be brief."
Now I said I didn't like being dumped, but the first question about breaking my engagement made everyone happy. He said he was happy that he was abandoned. This would also sound contradictory.
"I wasn't unhappy to be abandoned, but there are many ways to be abandoned, aren't there? To burning rubbish, unburning rubbish, illegal dumping, transfer to people. I'm sorry about the disgusting way they dumped me, let alone didn't want me to break it. So I am undoubtedly happy with the series of flows and the status quo from that divestiture. No lies."
Mel seems to have convinced me once and for all, she nodded with a difficult face.
"By the way, I ask this out of curiosity, which of you was the current way of being dumped?
"How to be dumped...? Oh, right... isn't that unburning garbage? It's not burned, it's not illegal, it's paying for it, and it wasn't given to anyone. You didn't think the garbage you dumped was going to live without going to the dump."
Instead, they're paying for it, and I think coarse garbage is more appropriate in me, but you don't have this concept of world coarse garbage.
... Now, is this the end of Mel's second question? Phew, my liver is a little cold.
Honestly, I should have finished what I wanted to hear if it was true by now.
There are only two things you would like to know about this meeting before I ask Your Highness to break my engagement. Objective judgment about the actions you have taken, Lili's current standing. That's it.
That's all I ask, because I know more or less how far I've influenced Redilo's story. If it could be determined that the scenario had deviated significantly, it had to be fled far away.
But from what I've heard, it seems that the major muscles of what is a fine glitch have not changed.
Lili is brilliantly pushing her way to the Queen, just as Heroin chose no other route than my Highness.
I don't know if they think I'm plotting a rebellion, but if I live honestly without anything dark behind my back and become just a civilian, there won't be any particular problem. If Nica is a watchman, that will prove my innocence.
… but just in case, let's go down the big road as bright and crowded as possible.
Well, unfortunately, the question hasn't finished yet, and I've been able to do only one thing that I still have to ask because of one bug that I really can't miss.
"From me this is the last question. Um, I was wondering if I could ask Master Melvin about this... but I'd like you to let me know how my brother Shed is doing and how he's living his life."
"What?"
Mel turned a frivolous eye to a suddenly smiling topic.
As for this one, seriously, I'd like to hear what's going on after that sudden Jandere flag of Shed.
"... Isn't that Master Nicholas?
What?
Question marks rumble in my head at unexpected words.
... Why Nica? Is there anything that Mel cares about Nica like that?
From my point of view, I do think we should be concerned about Nica's trend in the position of Genius Royalty, who hates Lili. But Nica promised me that she would identify Lili, so I don't need to imitate her exploration. Lili's side is on my side.
I've been with him for over ten years, even if I skip Redilo. That one keeps his word.
Mel still looked like she wouldn't fall for some reason, but she opened her mouth loosely as if she was willing to answer the question.
"I did look into Shed Swallows... and I did look into you... but he seems to have a strong sense of inferiority and respect for you."
Oh, yeah. That's just like the original. That's how Shed feels about his sister-in-law, called Miss Perfect Warrant, who's not good at jumping through without a blood connection, right?
That faceless, flat tone was set to hide unwanted feelings for my sister-in-law.
"As things stand, you've recently lessened your soft-handed attitude. And lately, she has changed her expression a little bit. Sometimes she looks shy like she's bitter when she wonders if she's lost her mind. That seems to be popular with girls."
... I mean, that's, uh... what do you mean? Shall I just predict?
My short circuit but excellent effect the other day. Due to the bread throw, Shed, who realized I was unexpectedly inferior and not as awesome as I had the respect for him, turned to hold on because I was the one who would take over this house and become the master, even though I was bitter and ashamed of my old feelings for me.
... too optimistic? But I don't think there's any contradiction.
"There are no particular problems with the study side or friendship. There's nothing to talk about, among other things. Hey, how you doing?
... no other discomfort? That's all?
Huh? Shed's route. That's it? Really? Me, you totally crushed the flag with one bread?!
Bread is amazing!!!
"... you look happy."
"It's Reiki sister love. You can cry, right?
"I'm not gonna cry."
Mel's nori is bad.
Mel's escorts, who are finally in the air, will look a little more smiling.
