It was close to 3: 00 when I returned to the Count's mansion. The Count returns after sunset... I don't think it's strange if that happened yesterday, even late at night. Tell the Deacon I want to see him.
If you think
"Are you back"
"Huh?"
The Earl stood in the entrance hall.
"Reggie!"
"Lady —— Me"
The lady who came forward held me, and I stomped on it, but I felt confident in the upper spring, so I held on to it all the time.
"Duh, what's going on...?
"He said he'd be home soon! Yet at this hour..."
"Ah."
Were you worried? No, no, the lady was anxious... but I relaxed for lunch.
(Oh, what are you doing? I...)
I can't believe I was full of heads about the Count and forgot about the lady.
"... I'm sorry, lady. I'll be with you for the rest of the day until you have a good night."
"Really...?
"Absolutely."
So I want you to loosen this hugging hand... where did the deacon bring it from when he's looking at this one in the shape of a ghost like he's never seen before and the maid takes the munch for the horse!?
"Mr. Reggie."
And the Count has eyes like permafrost!
"Calm down, Count, calm down..."
"Yeah, I know. I'm calm, aren't I? Yesterday, there was so much trouble that I thought about how I should preach the logic of things to an escort walking outside..."
Sermon course decision!
"Well, more than that, you are..."
I stand beside the Count, my eyes turned to a little man. [M] Noble, more of a civilian-style man, wearing a brown jacket that seems quite superior.
It's just that my skin is blue and black and my hair is upside down silver. Beyond the glasses I put on my eyes are cat-like golden eyes.
Sounds like it's not a human race.
"Hey, this has been seen interesting. Does it mean that His Excellency Count Sullies was also a parent of a person"
"… Specula 2nd Class Clerk, it doesn't teach nobility that way."
"I'm sorry if I disturbed you"
Around talking to the Count in a cheerful way, is he a pretty good executive while saying clerk?
If I don't know,
"Eva, Mr. Reggie, to my room"
That's what the Count said.
In the Count's office, where there is a debriefing every 10 days, there were me, the lady, the Count, Mr. Specula, and five deacons. Does the Deacon intend to "watch the story" only because he stands at the entrance and exit of the room?
(This guy, what the hell)
When I saw Mr. Specula, I was looking at him.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Reggie. I am a clerk at the Wang Metropolitan Home Office, my name is Specula"
"Nice to meet you. I am escorting Miss Eva at the Sullies' house. I'm Reggie."
"Hmm..."
At that time, it felt like Mr. Specula's eyes had been applauded. I don't know... it's a sight to explore this one.
"... Count, is Mr. Reggie's style of escort the same as usual?
"Yes."
"Really? This way, please."
What? What?
Mr. Specula wrote something down on the paper at hand and gave it to the Count. Upon receiving it, the Count snuck a brilliant brow and nodded small.
"So this is it."
"Oh, are you going already?
"My work is done."
When Mr. Specula stood up, he left the room in a courtesy of the deacon —— and at the same time the deacon left with him again.
"What was that, Father?"
…………
The Earl stared at Mr. Specula's leftover paper and said this as he showed us it.
"The Specula 2nd Class Clerk has also been given an extremely rare gift by the Wang Metropolitan Administration."
Here's what the paper said.
—— Genius Nashi.
"The gift [Orbview ] lets you know the gift of the person you see. I don't know how many stars there are on his level... but I've been asked to confirm Reggie's gift."
"Father!? Why would you do that--"
The lady is hacked even though she is surprised and blameworthy.
"Reggie, are you..."
"Yes, I'm not wearing a single gift."
I spoke honestly (...).
(Ahbu ~ ~ ~! I was wondering if you might have that kind of gift!
The Count has not once confirmed his gift to me since he signed an escort contract. I got rid of the Raiders to the Count. I don't know if I thought that moving all that would be enough, or if I had another thought, or maybe I had an idea that it would be a "magic system" because I used [dark magic] in conjunction with Mr. Maxim.
But in one case yesterday, the Earl who found out I spotted the poisoned dish must have thought I had some kind of special gift. It is not strange to suspect that the gift is not for the earl or the lady to do harm in a moment... Because the Count is so cautious when it comes to the lady.
(Just in case, it was really just in case, but I'm glad I left [Morinawa] off...)
The Count has the "Devil's Eye of Hearing". So I said, "I don't have a gift," not "I don't have a gift."
I was not alarmed. It was my victory.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Reggie. I didn't suspect anything about you."
"No, I know how you feel. Just in case, right?
"Yes, and on the other hand, I found out —— something that I'm sure Mr. Reggie wouldn't know."
"What I don't know...?
"Those who can use magic without the use of gifted pearls seem to have a variety of advantages: they can activate magic quickly or have unusual magical user-friendliness. Of course, it has the disadvantage of its high mastery difficulty."
"-- Magic Activation"
"Yes, you used [Dark Magic] 's" Dream Devil's Prayer "Playing Nightmare" in conjunction with Maxim, right? That activation was too quick, that explains it. "
"... Could the Count have been asking me since then if I didn't have a magical gift?
The Earl grinned with a grin that didn't even look good on him.
"I didn't think you had any gifts... for any reason?
"No. I don't have to put it on. So far I can live without a problem, so I'll put it on when I can't help it"
This was also an honest part. [Mori Luo Wan] Now that we have managed to do so, the remaining six of the 16 frames of holders remain vacant. When I can't help it anymore, I want to use 6 frames.
"Father, did you find anything out about yesterday's assassination attempt?
"Right. The discovery of poison from the plates of the Holy Prince Kruvschlat, some noblemen said that the poison was put in by Mr. Reggie."
Ahhh.
Well, I guess so.
That's something no one but me noticed at that moment...
"Oh no!? There's no way Reggie could poison you!
"Lady, please calm down. Count, use the Eye of the Devil. I'm not poisoned."
"... Yes, I have confirmed"
The moment of activation gives you a hard glimpse.
I guess the Count was going to check at some point to see if I was the "real killer," until the activation of the Devil's Eye was too smooth.
Conversely, you mean you never used a demon eye so far today? Surprisingly trusted, am I?... No, it can be an operation that makes you think so.
