Maou Reijou no Kyouiku Gakari

"Back door......"

Looking in the direction indicated by Rosé's hand, it is blurred to see that beyond the darkness there is the same door as what was at the entrance.

"Can we just get out of there?

"Yes."

"If you leave, you'll confess who you are and what you're after."

"Yes."

The slightest smile from Rosé's face, to which I replied so briefly, has already disappeared.

Take a slow step towards the back door.

A dull noise echoes through the cabin from the wooden floor.

"We will have it"

That's what Rose says, and she offers me that white, beautiful hand.

"Huh? Oh..."

A moment later, I realize I'm talking about the lantern in my hand.

It feels as if I'm being seen through to my heart which door I'm going to choose anymore.

Offering Rosé a lantern, she receives it for her slow and elegant work. For a moment only, her hands and mine touch each other like they plunder.

Although it looks like a doll, the high body temperature, which is the opposite of the impression I get from its appearance, is firmly transmitted from the area touched.

"What's wrong?

"Yes, no... anything..."

There is no way I could say that I touched a woman's hand and was flirting with emotion. I appropriately deceived her and turned back to the back door.

The situation is incredible, but this is a normal door, no matter what you think.

It just made it easier to understand which door to get out of, and it's just a forest out there. You can listen to me later and go home if you're not convinced. That's all.

Behind such an idea comes a nasty sweat twitching in my hand holding the sword pattern.

One step closer, one step closer to the door. No matter how close you get, it's just a door.

The woods outside are also slightly visible from the small windows nearby.

Take a big, deep breath and put your hands on the door.

And push it open all at once.

The first thing I felt was the smell of intense flowers stabbing my nose.

"Become...!?

And it was a vague garden that delayed and spread its sight all at once.

Colorful flowers blooming in trees and shrubs.

Shizuku dripping in suspiciously radiant leaves reflecting moonlight.

Curved cobblestone trails.

Whether it's a creek or a fountain somewhere, you can also hear the constant flow of water.

And even further back, there is a large mansion sitting as if it were a castle.

There's nowhere in the woods where the voice of that darkened beast that was supposed to have been earlier rings.

I look back in a hurry.

There is no such thing as that wooden cabin there, and only Rosé with the lantern I gave her is upright as if nothing had happened.

"What did you do!?

Immediately pull out the sword before you think about it and poke it in front of Rosé.

I asked formally, but it's obvious it's due to magic.

But there was no sign that Rosé chanted the spell. That said, it should be assumed that a surgical ceremony had been planted in the door or in the cabin itself.

Even before the tip of the sword, Rosé slowly moves only its little lips again, as usual, without moving its facial expressions.

"We have taken you to a place where Master Frey will be working"

"I haven't told you to talk to me yet."

"That was early. Sorry, sir."

Rose bows her head slightly without even showing how she cares that the tip is right there.

Without any element of credibility, I don't see anything behind or hostile at all, for whatever reason, from that word that is lightly spun.

Eyes and eyes meet again.

Black eyes enough to be sucked in just by staring.

In the silent silence of each other, we can only hear the slightest blowing wind and the accompanying leaf whispering.

"... let me talk to you in a little more detail"

Put your sword in the sheath of your hips.

"Yes, I did. But before you do, there are people who would like to see you."

"Is that the client?

"If you see him, you'll understand."

Are you still unwilling to answer now, or does the Hundred Hearts mean only at first sight, Rose said so without answering my question, slowly starting to walk ahead of me on a trail made of cobblestone with a lantern.

For now, there seems to be no choice but to follow.

Besides, I don't know where or when the guy who's been setting up such a big play is, but I'm pretty sure I'm sorry I don't have to look at his face, whether I take a request or not.

Walk through the garden following Rosé. Apparently, it's moving towards that big mansion.

We don't say a word to each other, all we have is the sound of walking on cobblestones and the scent of aromatic flowers.

As you approach the mansion, you will see its beauty even more clearly than you did when you watched it from afar.

For the convenience of my previous position, there have been few opportunities to see large mansions before, but this mansion is no less pale than those.

If there's one thing that bothers you, it's the middle of the night, but I can barely feel any sign of life coming from this mansion.

"There are other servants like you who have this big mansion?

Unable to withstand the odd tension, he wields a casual public discourse at Rosé walking forward to the left.

"No, only me and the other servant in this mansion"

"This is such a big mansion and there's only two of you!?

"Yes."

Rose answers me that way, even if I'm stunned.

"Then take care of this garden too...?

"I take care of the garden by myself"

Look around the large garden.

Is it possible to take care of this by yourself...

Besides, this big mansion, there's got to be something else to do.

I do have a sense of competent maid from the looks of it, but I don't believe in boulders.

With that in mind, we arrive at the entrance to the mansion, in front of a large door.

"Please, come in"

Rosé opened the door and said so.

The indoors visible from the open doors are illuminated by only a few lights, creating a creepy feeling that once you step in, you won't be able to leave again.

But whatever was waiting ahead, the worst couldn't have happened again.

Get ready and straddle that lair.

More quiet indoors than outside.

It's dark and not very clear, but I can only see that many of the decorations that are decorated everywhere are so expensive that they don't have the same color as what was in the college.

"Come here."

Soon Rosé, who had come inside, stood before me again and proceeded to the back of the mansion to lead.

Relying on the lantern light, walk in the dim hallway.

I can only hear the trick and the footsteps for two slapping on the ground.

That's how, after a while of walking, I see a different light from that from the lantern Rosé has at the end of his sight.

The light is leaking out of the door at the end of the hallway, the little window attached to it.

And it shows that there's someone behind that door.

"Please, come in"

Rose stops in front of the door, but now she's staring at me without a hand on that door.

I see. You mean open up here yourself.

My stomach is so bracketed.

Don't do anything to check what's going on inside the window, but put your hands on the laterally open door that makes you feel old.

Then he stepped to the end of the open door, rattling and making noises.
