Muyoku no Seijo wa Okane ni Tokimeku

(Chi...... Yikes!!

Leo was running down an unpopular corridor, at full speed.

With the anger of being deprived of gold coins, his whole body is full of this with noradrenaline, his face turns bright red and his eyes are congested.

Now himself, while Leo thought in a corner of his head that a monster such as Bruno had previously taught him, "Namahagi" would also be powerful, he only looked like an innocent girl running away with her face blushed and her eyes moistened.

(I knew you were going to make some excuse to catch me, that fucking prince!

Yes, of course Leo interpreted the earlier interaction that way.

I guess he tried to get Leo to attack him by giving him the gold coin once and letting the breathtaking painter take it up.

From Leo's point of view, the bad guy who took Master Carr is Gaephardt, but it included saying, "Don't tell anyone that you received the gold coin," so Master Carr originally claimed to be his own, and no one will believe it - that must be the kind of mystery.

(What insidiousness! What a shade!

After all, Leo thought Alberto was determined by the evil prince, the evil (wal) belt, who was trying to tear himself and Master Carr apart.

(But let it be!

You can't stay and be caught in this college with congratulations more than you know what the prince's true aim is.

Without waiting for the magic to heal, it's time to get out of here - with Master Carr.

Leo rushed back to his room saying goodbye with the thought of teething to the delicious free rice, the cute free tea, the funny free classes and fuzzy free duvets, and the fruitful inner jobs.

- Bang!

Momentum opens the door well, locking it triple first, then dragging the closet in front of the door instead of the barricade.

On his return to college, the Marquis' strong appeal to ensure the safety of his granddaughter left Leo's room with much stronger security than the rest.

- Because of that, he had no reason to know that Lena and Bruno, who had rushed to the College, had failed to take Leo many times.

"Barricade, okay! Next, the Copper Coin Collection, confirm!

In order to ensure that there is no overlook in the actions to be taken, Leo calls himself up and moves around the room in a crisp manner.

Of course I escape, but I can't leave the whiskers I've been saving. "Okay," Leo pushed it into his cuff when he quickly took out the sachet he had put under his pillow and made sure with divine speed that the forehead he counted last night was fitted.

Fortunately, the expensive ones are sent to Hannah Orphanage for the most part, so there is little gold-eyed stuff in the room.

Leo went straight to the window as he snuck a round of applause for his good disengagement.

Out of the door by a positive offense, I'm sure the evil belt decides to catch me.

Then all you have to do is get out of the window, poke through the backyard and head over to the carriage.

(And...... intercept Gaephardt out of college there!

I can basically only come to the college by carriage. I mean, if you waited there, Gaephardt was bound to come.

Leo's dorm room was upstairs, but this tall would work it out.

No! And the moment I raised my voice in my heart and hung my foot in the window frame,

"Leonora!"

Leo shook his shoulder frighteningly when he heard a quick knock on the door as he screamed.

On that clap, the little copper coin that I pushed into my sleeve earlier jumps and falls to the floor.

It is a catastrophic and super-emergent situation that, by Leo standards, makes you want to cover your eyes by punching your precious whiskers on the floor.

"Alaida......! Barbara......!

It's not Leo who can leave the little copper coins he loves every day by name.

Hurry and scratch the little copper coins as you throw your gaze at the door, which contains the colour of agitation.

but I was in a hurry, and one copper coin after another slipped out of my sleeve from the side I was picking up.

(Wow, wow, wow!

Leo screamed like a mother with rambling children only before he left.

And I hear the prince and Kai desperately talking across the thick door.

"Leonora......! Will you open up here? Let me apologize to you...!

"Dear Leonora! Please! Open the door, please!

Apparently, the prince, once out lousy, enters this nostalgia.

I wanted to say a word or so goodbye to Kai, but Leo, who prioritized ensuring his own safety, had no choice but to give it up.

"Leonora......! I'm sorry. I don't even ask you what's going on - no, I don't even try to figure out what's going on, imitating you unilaterally blaming me...!

"Master Alberto did not scold Master Leonora!

I remember being nearly caught, but I don't remember being scolded, so Leo nearly leaned his neck for a moment "should," but he reconsidered that it was more of a small copper coin than that, and grabbed the floor for it.

Meanwhile, the two people stuck at the door are desperate expressions.

Of course it was because she was driven by a strong sense of self-blame, but given her previous deeds, she didn't know what the heartbroken girl would do.

She was even smiling maliciously and receiving.

She gives her hair easily, and also her life.

If she was abhorred by someone she admired enough to stand up for herself and shelter, she thought that instead of being angry, she would blame herself and run into self-inflicted acts.

"Leonora! It was all my fault!

"Dear Leonora...! Master Alberto cares about Master Leonora. Believe me!

I'm finally done picking up the little copper coins.

Listening to a rare hot valve, Leo hung his foot on the window frame this time, exactly then,

"Isn't this glowing gold coin a testament to that...!

Kai's desperate cry - also, the word "gold coin" shook the most sensitive part of the tympanic membrane.

"Huh...?

"This gold coin," Kai said now.

It's as if it's currently in progress and he has it.

Kai unleashed an important word, as if he was unintentionally stopping movement and staring at Leo, who had begun to stare at the door.

"Don't you always take care of this gold coin? Besides, this must also contain the soul of Lady Leonora's mother. Please take a closer look at this gold coin. Please, please, the premature imitation -!"

This gold coin. Here. Take a good look.

(Kai has... gold coins...?

Gaephardt took it from me, didn't he?

Whatever Prince Alberto is, there's no reason for Kai to fool himself, and that can't be true in his character.

If that Kai has gold coins, I guess he really does.

(Oh... like a prince trap...?

Have you ever been bought up to Kai, your disciple?

Leo worried.

bothered, but in the end,

"Really, to...?

I dragged the closet again, unlocked the triple lock, and decided to open the door.

If you go into a tiger hole, you don't get a tiger child.

Even if it's a trap, you can't get gold for not opening the door.

"Leonora......!

"Dear Leonora!

The moment Nanny and the girl unravel the cage castle, the two leak a sigh of relief.

but I saw a closet that was moved to near the door, or - most importantly, a large, open window, and made my face slightly stronger.

What if she was going to throw herself through the window like this...

An ominous thought momentarily passes behind the two of us.

Kai grabbed the girl's arm with the gold coin clenched, and the prince knelt before her.

"Dear Leonora... Oh my God..."

"It's my fault. Leonora, I'm so sorry."

I guess a squeezing apology isn't something a girl can take right away. She did not look at the prince, stared at the squire's hand, and sighed quietly.

"Dear Carr..."

After a pompous grunt, the girl takes up the gold coin looking important and hugs it all over her chest.

Seeing her in the shadow of her late mother, Alberto was about to be torn apart by regret.

Earlier the girl was muttering, "After all, the prince is the enemy".

Although I once showed a bare gesture to forgive Alberto, the cousin of my enemies, there were still some things that were unacceptable deep down in my heart. Naturally.

But she still has me a gold coin.

Alberto squeezed out his words with a little courage for not being pushed back through the dragon symbol.

"I'm so sorry to imitate that I didn't even realize who Gaephardt was and blamed you, knowing that you cared about my mother more than anyone else. Your anger towards him is justified. And I don't know, and I can't apologize for bringing him in with you."

Leo looked surprised when he saw the prince kneeling and begging for forgiveness for some reason.

Apparently, Kai held onto the gold coin that Gaephardt thought he had taken. If so, as far as embarrassment goes, I guess it's Leo's mistake about this one.

The prince had no intention of taking gold from Leo or capturing him.

(I mean, what? who Gaephardt is)

I can't read the context of my mother and you, and I don't even know who Nekoba painter Gaephardt is.

How he read Leo's emotions frowning, the prince penitently mocked himself.

"As much as I'm embarrassed. You immediately made him see that he was Prince Augusto, and I didn't even realize it until he confessed."

"... eh...!

(Ahhhhh!? Prince Augusto, okay, okay!?

Leo exclaimed - calling and failing, shook his shoulders terribly.

The prince is a prince. A great man. I mean, I think he came out a little bit in the conversation earlier, but I think the prince who fell into Flora's wreck was by that name - because no man named Augusto in the Weitz Empire has been around since -.

(Huh? Why? Why is the prince a painter? When did that happen? You mean, eh, is that how the prince looks!?

Things are too swallowable to know where to start.

Or if you say that's the truth.

(Me, I grabbed Chestkura as much as I wanted and cursed him -!!!

Besides, it's a robbery, criminal call.

To his former, albeit royal opponent, dishonored by the assault. For what the robbery hasn't been added, it's still better than against Alberto, but I still don't know what punishment awaits me.

Leo was about to get on his knees on the spot.

(Ugh... you're lying, aren't you? It's some kind of joke, isn't it? No, Kai won't say anything either, and this is really it?... hey, why oh...)

Why do I imitate myself like I'm going towards the death row?

Or why do all the royals come together and appear before themselves in the guise of civilians? I wish I could even put a name tag on it.

Alberto told Leo, standing in blue, thoughtfully.

"I don't think I'm in a good mood situation. So far today, he's got to take it too."

"Dear Alberto, And Leonora."

But at that time, a voice hung from behind the three of them.

It is Natalia.

No, she was beside it, with another person.

"Please. Mr. Gaephardt - No, Augusto, please don't give your brother a chance to apologize."

"Huh... what...!?

Leo looked at Gaephardt, who turned into a blonde, and said, "Something's changed my face a lot!?" He shouted, and was burned in the throat by the guiding magic.

I see.

Making Alberto and obviously feel blood related, he was apparently a real Augusto ex-prince.

"Natalia, it's..."

Seeing a girl who couldn't hide her upset, Alberto frowned, too.

Even her own apology for blaming her would be unacceptable, and there, even if Teng himself, who took her mother, sends an apology, it would mean she can't sort out her emotions.

But soon after Augusto stopped, he knelt on the floor and drowned deeply.

"Dear Leonora von Harkenberg, Of course, I don't think this is the kind of apology I need to make, but I'm really sorry."

The voice was low, and very slightly trembling.

That's what everyone loses their words to an apology that squeezes them out of the bottom of their soul.

Leo also looked at the situation where the two men were kneeling down, causing a grand panic.

(Er, erm, what is this, why am I being apologized for? Why does this guy stay low on me?)

I don't remember living a life where I could bow my head to a big adult, and rather, it's this one who should apologize. Leo wandered his gaze awkwardly, but Augusto's,

"You're right, I took Claudia away from you... your mother."

I finally figured things out with an exquisite follow up that

(Sort of... Sort of! The mother of this body (Lena) is supposed to have died in Flora's accident. I mean, now I'm the victim's child)

In the meantime, Augusto's sad apology continues.

"Mother, it is best that you learn to be angry at me for falling on you. Dastardly, I even shut up about who I was at first. Which face do you think you're looking at now?"

You decided to apologize with your blonde prince's face, which is a hard atmosphere to give back.

Or Augusto killed Lena's mother (Claudia) when she did it. I regret that she took it, but the actual girlfriend is still a big bakery today. Moreover, I know that the exile from the aristocratic society also felt like the will of the person, according to Lena's explanation.

(Rather...... If you're the mother of a guy like Lena, isn't that how you took advantage of the exile opportunity to open your dream bakery in downtown, or something like that...?

Leo thought about that with a puzzled look on his face.

For, the true victim of Flora's scourge is not Claudia, who fulfilled herself, but Augusto, who fell in love with adolescence alone and became insensitive. Only the son of the Chancellor and the sons of the Knights Commander, who said they had been similarly disposed of.

I'm sure Leo would lose hope of living if they took all of that away, even though there was a lot of savings and whiskers.

Somehow the entity has been able to grasp, Flora's Society of Disasters and Victims.

Mr A, the representative of the meeting, had a sinking face everywhere.

(No, no. But I guess it's true that you kicked Lena's mother out of college at a one-sided trial, and this guy's not bad at all, is he?

Leo, who's been a little concerned,

"Thirteen years ago... what did you do?

I asked a question to hear the specific statement.

Augusto then told him that, with deep regret, he had taken Claudia's shoes and made her walk barefoot down the street from the college.

"... barefoot?

"... Yes"

"Seventeen-year-old, to a woman?

"... Exactly"

Augusto distorted his face with self-blame. Approximately, Leo accidentally said, "Huh?" I was about to weaken.

(What, about that?

Even in the deepest part of Lower Town, many people still dare to spend time barefoot because the roads have not been paved.

And Claudia is Claudia too. She was certainly seventeen at the time. Speaking of seventeen, it's the oldest category in the Hannah orphanage. That's what you do without going home alone.

(It's not like they danced in burnt iron shoes, and if you don't have shoes and your feet hurt, you should have torn your clothes and wrapped them around.)

Leo's idea of growing up in Lower Town worked everywhere.

Leo was convinced.

Former Prince Augusto, he said this man was some kind of pathetic man.

Augusto's penance was welcoming the climax while Leo had a distant eye with a shuddering half and a sympathy half.

"With my life, I don't think sin can be redeemed. But if you want, this, life..."

"-... no"

Exactly. Neither does Leo have a hobby for taking lives away from men who have borne the consciousness of sin in vain.

"You too..., you've been very, very troubled"

Rather, so much so that one wants to fool around with him among those involved in the self-fulfilment of others.

But Augusto, who apparently thought even redemption had been refused, drowned deeper.

"But what's left of me no longer, except for this dragon symbol, is only about life -"

That's how Leo's eyes snapped at the things he lifted in a sense of self-derision.

……

Leo's shoulders shake.

(no ho ho ho!?

That was exactly the kind of brush the pattern was made of gold, as Leo's dream embodied.

(Ko, this illumination! Smooth shape that's going to fit in this hand! How about this different depth of fun even though it's the same color as Master Carr!!

Same color as gold coins.

With that idea of his own, Leo faded much bluer.

- I see, I thought I saw this earlier and assumed they stole the gold coin.

(Damn, my narcissistic bastard! When you think you can absolutely distinguish Master Carr, you're just mistaken for the same color!

Leo wanted to beat the hell out of himself for not seeing the other money and Master Carr.

But that's not the only problem in this case.

I mean, I would have stuffed and cursed at a perfectly innocent Augusto.

Leo shuddered to be discouraged by the fact that he was about to beat people up just by his assumptions.

How the hell am I supposed to apologize to him?

No, will the ex-royal make him apologize? Is it the death penalty?

(Yabeyi! Yabe-yay! What am I supposed to do?

He was Leo scratching a cold sweat with his tense face, but Augusto said he wasn't particularly willing to blame Leo.

On the contrary, he glanced at the gold coin that Leo had unconsciously gripped and even told him to cut it like this.

"It looks like you already have a dragon symbol. Dragon blood is too heavy for one human to have two. I can't even give you this dragon symbol for a sign of apology."

"Huh..."

In that dialogue, the little money-keeper in Leo looked up.

(Ex-Prince Augusto, what if you weren't mad about earlier? Instead, are you so sick of Flora's disaster that you try to give me a gold brush...?

Very, very loud throat.

Leo worried.

The gold pen - or just the axis part - is what I want. I'd love one.

But it's nothing serious about his sins, and it's not Leo who did the harm to him in the first place, so he doesn't deserve to be paid compensation. I mean, it's Leo who should be apologized for.

- But I want it.

"Then..."

After a rather lengthy reflection, Leo opened his fearful mouth.

If you can't have a "dragon symbol" with a double.

"Take the brush, will you...?

I took the brush part and wondered if I could give it to myself as the part of the axis - in other words, not as a dragon sign (paintbrush) but as a piece of pure gold.

――……

Meanwhile, Alberto and Natalia, who had been sipping solidly from earlier and watching over the two intercessions, opened their eyes wide to the girl's words.

I heard Augusto's distressed confession, and although it was at first he had a strong face, he gave me a pitiful look along the way.

After pondering to him, who had spoken words that shared his afflictions, and offered to atone, he told him, "Keep up the brush."

(What...)

To that lofty heart of forgiveness, everyone who was on the spot was struck as if struck by lightning.

"Yes, now, what..."

Augusto also looks like he saw something incredible.

But the girl softly enveloped his hands, even trembling, repeating the same words again.

"Take the brush, please"

The girl, forgiving everything and smiling with a noble smile, was like the Spirit of Light.

The tranquility that hit the water fills the area.

Eventually,

"Ah... oh..."

Augusto covers his face with both hands in a miracle he never even dreamed of.

"Ahhh......!

A glimmer of falling tears quickly gained momentum and he finally collapsed on the spot.

Natalia gently strokes her sobbing Augusto back.

What a word of mercy, a sight of miracles.

At that moment that made even the blessing of fate feel, everyone lay down their eyes and chanted and prayed the name of the girl and the Spirit.

And Alberto also vowed to his heart to exhort himself even more to behave so that he could once again feel the girl's forgiveness and, at any rate, regain the trust from her.

So.

(Even if I can give you my life, I don't like money enough to cry!

I don't know how that feels, but nobody noticed Leo dropping his shoulder.

Gaephardt Anheiser is a great painter who makes a name for himself in the history of art throughout the continent.

Of his mysterious life, it has not become apparent how he has lived until he is about twenty years old, but he becomes a man of time on a one-leap drawing platform, derising a piece called "A Farmer's Prayer" drawn up in the midst of life misery.

Later, he also published successive epic works of excellence to the observing eye, such as "Portrait of Mrs. Tomamüller" and "Study of Dr. Fogler," and in "Advising Mr. and Mrs. Clingbail," he also alluded to the later attempted revolution at Imperial College.

But what made his fame decisive was the portrait of one girl - "Leonora with her gold coin dedicated".

The painting, housed as a treasure in a gallery within the Imperial College, was made many copies by the Bernstein Chamber of Commerce, which strived to enlighten Weitz-style art and culture, and was eventually to be decorated in the art rooms of museums and educational establishments throughout the continent.

In that painting, also nicknamed "Smile," the girl is smiling toward the gold coin in her hand.

Strangely, the expression appeared to my daughter, about her age, to be a scuffle that made her feel pity when she saw someone who thought of her loved one and who suffered from life.

And to the ill-hearted, imprisoned by desire, it also looks like a kosomuddy grin plotting to rob gold coins, meaning that people always corrected their collars before that painting -.
