Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

14 The next flower is red.

For a moment I couldn't figure out who had spoken, but Alec and Connie seemed to be the same. Fisherman stared at the singer standing at the door with a puzzled expression that did not connect her violent rhetoric with her gentle appearance. Even Helge, who supports the body, peels his eyes and looks down at her in his arms.

"--You have everything I want, and what do you want from me?"

Is this her natural tone?

Felicia, speaking in an incredibly lofty tone from her usual girlfriend, slipped out of Helge's arms, supporting herself. I wonder if it's the effect of hypnotic magic halfway through with weak magic, or if you just woke up from a bad sleep in your dreams. Still standing alone with her fluffy body supported by her own feet, she glanced at Carina.

"If you want a singer's seat, I'll give you as much as I want. So tell me where I am."

"What... what are you talking about? Are you making fun of me?

Carina blushed her pale face in anger and stood up.

"I have everything you want? I don't have anything. What the hell do I have?"

I see you have it.

Felicia laughed. She laughed as if the gentle and elegant standing behavior she had seen during the day was as ferocious as a lie and she didn't know that either.

"--You can go home whenever you want. You have a warm home."

Shiori took a short breath. Alec's hand, which was holding his shoulders, also felt a lot stronger. He might have something to think about, but I couldn't tell from the look he looked up. However, the eyes of purple blue were shaking slightly.

"You can go home whenever you want, to a warm home, to a fine father and a gentle mother who are waiting for you there, sister. Besides, you even have an incredibly masculine fiancé. I don't have any of them."

"... what are you talking about? Then you'll have one too. My fiancée may not be here yet, but...."

Carina seemed confused because she didn't understand the meaning of the words.

"It's true that my original identity may have been a traveler I don't know anyone's child. But now you're the adopted daughter of one of the biggest merchants in the country. Both uncles and aunts are nice and personally wonderful ideal parents. And oniisama loves you as much as her real sister."

"... that's right. But it doesn't change my position to be dangerous."

Felicia shakes her golden brown hair and laughs lightly. The bright blue eyes fainted.

"No matter how cute you are, it doesn't change that I'm not your real daughter. Not yet. But my adoptive father and my adoptive mother are old enough. Without them, it's not gonna be easy to find me."

When my adoptive parents die and my brother inherits the trail, it's my brother's house. A wife who will eventually marry may also be wary of a brother-in-law without a blood connection with her husband.

Some relatives don't like Felicia, whose identity is suspicious. I'm afraid that one day she and her stepson will become friends. Many of them don't want to cause much trouble with business. If your presence interferes with your family business, you can't stay with your adopted daughter forever.

She said she didn't want to imitate the benevolent Amrian house as a nuisance.

"I entered the world of songs because I liked songs, not just to repay them. If the name sells, it can also be a bulletin tower, which might help the house business a little bit. But the truth is, it was to earn my own free money. I wanted to save the money so I could leave the house whenever I wanted."

After singing desperately, I got the title of singing princess.

"... I don't know... but..."

Carina shook her head small as if she still didn't know.

"Even if you leave the house, you're a singer. Isn't there a lot of homes that want you?

"You're an idiot."

Felicia's smile is sad.

"Even a singer is not an eternal title. Now I'm still young and I'm still having sex with you, but I can't believe I'm getting old and passing the high season. And where are those young, talented people coming in from? Someday you'll surrender the princess's seat to someone inside. When that happens, it won't be worth anything to me to stop being a singer. Originally a traveling entertainer around Dosa, the only thing left is Baba, who only deals with songs."

How many houses would you say you can still stay at that time?

There may be a way to become an opera singer or stage actress, but I don't know how much leeway I have left. Learning and cultivation are far inferior to genuine prostitutes, but they are not foolish enough to trust in uncertain hope.

When I realized something, I already had myself in one of the traveling entertainers. With the small sum of money earned by showing awkward tricks, I spent the best of my childhood eating the day. A girl who was taken over by her adoptive father and now received an education worthy of the upper class as a daughter of a wealthy man. There is a consciousness that there is a significant lack of common sense in living as a normal woman who throws herself at the city well.

I don't really think I can leave the house and get a real job and live alone. Only young people can manage momentum. What if it gets past the platter? What if I can't work because I'm sick?

"I'm not going home either. There's no place for you to welcome me unconditionally. What do you think you can count on when that happens? Money. There's no dream, no hope, but this is... reality."

I don't know if that's what you grew up with, but that's what Felicia laughs at.

"--I 've been longing for my family. That's why I was really happy when my adoptive father took it back. Rain-free and airtight homes, gentle families, warm and delicious rice, beautiful clothes, and fluffy beds. If you're not feeling well, just shut up and sleep. That's all you need. You can call a doctor, you can get medicine, and on the contrary, you can say something nice to your family. But this isn't forever. As long as I'm an adopted girl, I'll have to let go someday."

Such an ambiguous position of myself. A place that is not eternal.

The goal of singers is to create the necessary savings to maintain a life alone that will eventually come. I have no way of not taking advantage of my only talent without learning.

"That's why. Carina, I was jealous of you. I've always envied you for having what I wanted."

Theoli suppressed her chest. Because I know how Felicia feels.

I felt the same way when I realized that I had to live alone in a world where I was thrown into another world and I had no edge. Even now that I realize that I'm not alone with my brother, lover and many difficult friends, I can't get rid of that feeling. I realized with my own hands how terrifying it is to have nothing to do with a stack of people.

It's pulled even harder into Shiori's shoulder-gripping hand. Embraced by a powerful arm, his body and tight back are warm.

Carina's gaze at Felicia fell to the floor. The white hand squeezed his chest.

"--Still, for me... I longed for your presence."

"... but it's too much."

Alec said quietly, but with a definite disgust.

"I wonder how many people I've brought in just to satisfy your self-esteem. Those who believed you to be one of them suffered all day from poison. Some of them wiped out important stages. On the contrary, they tried to sin against two innocent people. It is not permissible."

"... two? You two?

Carina raised her face slightly.

"Hildegardo was the only one who wanted to be blamed. I don't know who else they are."

Lord Felicia.

Alec exhales at Carina with her eyes wide open.

"... I thought you were going to pretend to be a singer if you had to, but that wasn't what you had in mind."

"What do you mean? I just wish Ferris had left the princess's seat. I didn't mean to be guilty."

"The letter from Lord Felicia lured Hildegard to the scene, and if it were to herald the details of the incident, it would appear rather that she was trying to trap Hildegard and get rid of him from the front stage. Of course the suspicion will be directed against Lord Felicia. Didn't you think of any possibility that Lord Hildegard wouldn't burn the letter as directed?"

Oh, no...

Carina opened her eyes in a daze. I guess he was right and he didn't even think about it. Just to lure Hildegardo.

"Oh no... I don't want Ferris to disappear. I wish you could just pull yourself back. Because I'm an important teacher... and a friend. So instead of such a gorgeous world, you can talk while drinking tea in a quieter place and sometimes sing a song and spend some time in peace - that's how I feel...."

"Carina."

A quiet voice breaks in. Connie said soft, but steadfast.

"Just as your life is yours, so is Felicia's life. Her life is not meant to colour your life."

Walk in, and gently wrap her hands in sweat and cold.

"Miraculously, the lives of the two of you, who were not supposed to meet because of their different identities,

Become a friend - be honest and happy about it. "

Carina leaned without a word. And after a long silence, he nodded small.

Niklas gently pressed down the knight who was about to rope her and shook her head small. Probably won't run anymore.

He turns quietly back to Carina.

"... lady. It was a huge crime for an amateur, but this is all by yourself?

Showing a slightly disturbing gesture to the question, she eventually shook her head (with a rash), "No."

"It's no coincidence that Hildegard doesn't have a job (...) at the time of the music festival. Oh, she looks so serious about her job. So, if it hadn't been (...) an appointment, no matter how many calls Ferris made, he probably wouldn't have responded."

She couldn't immediately understand what her words meant, and Siori looked up at Alec. He thought a little and then said, "I see."

Only a limited number of people can adjust Hildegardo's schedule to make time before and after the music festival.

"... that means..."

As Alec approached, the knight who appeared through the door rushed to Niklas. He whispered something for a long time and then left with an abbreviated salute.

"- Oh, excuse me. They just caught your accomplice. I often say it falls to talk, but apparently he fell off his own accord before talking."

Niklas laughed hard.
