Within hours of departure, we will reach Belle's house as promised.
We get off the carriage blinking at the mansion in front of us.
"I've been expecting you, Miss Bell. Welcome home."
Upon arrival at the Lower Mansion, a gray-haired white beard and a tuxedo old gentleman grabbed his chest and bowed deeply, presumably the oldest, lined up in front of the gate.
A fine sword (Rapier) is attached to the waist.
The butler...?
Looks like he's equipped to fight... and this way of moving his body, the way he's used to fighting.
I said butler and escort.
As you will learn, the five maids lined up on the left and right bow together saying, "Welcome home."
We are taken aback by this state of affairs.
Rather than us... it's me and Len, excluding Dorothy.
For us from the countryside, it is honestly not realistic to be even a servant on such a large mansion.
"I'm home, Grandpa Charles. Margaret and the other maids are here."
"" Master Velvet!
The servants smiled with great joy and rejoiced at Velvet's return home.
It's like a touching reunion.
I was only a few months away, and I was so happy.
I'm curious how happy I would be if I met my parents.
Then the butler, called Grandpa Charles, took out the handkerchief and burst into tears.
"Uh-oh, miss... I didn't expect you to come home... I'm insensitive!!
The handkerchief is dyed like a waterfall in the water flowing through your eyes.
"Sha, Grandpa Sharl... it's in front of everyone..."
Belle treats the butler's grandfather with embarrassment, worrying about us.
When he wipes away his tears, he thinns his eyes.
"- Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Bell. I didn't expect Miss Bell to come home... and bring your friends..."
That's how Grandpa looks at us.
Dorothy puts her hand on her waist in a cold look with her belly in her miniskirt.
I don't think it's a bit chilly in the season...
Compared to the bell being a long skirt, it looks cold after all.
"Long time no see, Mr. Chardeere."
"Oh, Miss Dorothy. It's as beautiful as ever."
"Oh no... eheheh"
Dorothy gets a real social resignation and rubs her head like a light.
Is this guy a bit surprised...?
Next time something happens, let's try using it...
"And you two...."
"Gilford Eura and Len Austadt are in the same class as me. They're both good people."
Thanks, and we bow.
Then your grandfather's eyes sharpen.
"That's... that's why you didn't do it, right?
"Hand it out...?
What do you mean...?
Hands-on...
That's where we realize haha.
"Oh my God, this is crazy! I'm just a schoolmate!! No, hey, Len!
"Oh, wow! Of course, Grandpa, don't worry!
Even if I hurry to fix it, my grandfather's sharp gaze still makes us worthy.
"Don't you think there's a man who would leave such a beautiful Miss Bell alone?... suspicious...!
"The rationale is ridiculous...!
"Oh my God!
Then Belle rushed to stop Grandpa's runaway.
"Hey, hey, Grandpa Charles! It's not like that anymore... my grandfather Charles has gone too far with his tinted glasses."
Well, it looks like Elena, but I can't tell you the color glasses...
But not at all!
Grandpa immediately lowered his eyes to the words of Bell.
"--That's reassuring. If Miss Bell says so!... I'm a customer, and I want you to have a comfortable stay and go home."
My eyes aren't laughing, grandpa...
You're quite loving Belle...
After that, we enter the premises under the guidance of our grandfather.
There were fountains in the courtyard and the gardens around them were very well maintained.
Through such a natural path, you enter the Mansion.
"Uhh... it's amazing inside..."
The house is two stories long and has a large staircase right in front of it.
Red carpets are laid, chandeliers hang, and expensive pots and paintings line up.
Go upstairs while guided and walk down the long hallway.
The view from the window is natural and doesn't seem very close to London.
Ma'am, your husband is waiting for you.
That's how Grandpa puts his hand on the door knob.
Then Belle and Grandpa turned their gaze for a moment.
Is it a sign or is it just an eye contact...?
When a double-open door opens, there is a huge table and chair inside.
On top of it are fruit and candlesticks.
And standing in the middle are two fine men and women.
On the other hand, a gray-haired man opens his hands and speaks up.
"Oh, good to see you back, Belle."
"Dad... I'm home."
That's how your father strokes his head slightly when he pulls the bell closer.
But Belle's expression isn't that bright.
"Welcome home, Belle. I've been gone so many times...."
A brown-haired woman in a beautiful dress standing next to her... probably her mother.
Her mother nodded with joy.
Mom, I'm home.
They both seem calm and kind.
--But I don't feel as happy as Grandpa Charles.
Isn't it just my parents who are stupid?
It's very different from Grimm's.
They're worried about breaking the curfew and searching the city.
"Hahaha, and it's been a really long time, Bel. What about school?
"Yeah, it's fun."
I see, I see. I didn't have to force myself to go, but when I suddenly said I wanted to go, I wondered what to do.... "
That's how they laugh.
Then they'll look at us.
Oh, Dorothy, it's been a long time.
"Long time no see, Sifa, Yuma."
"Oh, how's Betty?
Betty? Who are you talking about?
Then Dorothy answers.
"My mother is fine. When I met Yuma, I was told to say hello."
"Oh, I see. Fufufu, that's good. I want to see you again."
Yes, I remember.
Belle and Dorothy's mother certainly said they were seniors and juniors in London.
From what I've seen, Dorothy's mother is a junior.
Nevertheless...
Belle's mother has brown hair and a slightly light-haired feeling. She has a different impression from Elena.
On the other hand, your father has such a tough look on his silver hair.
Apparently your father is more of a descendant of Elena's lineage.
As Bell said before he arrived, it doesn't seem like he'd be happy to see his parents.
"And the two of you...?
We'll be introduced to each other in Bell's explanation, just like before.
That's right, unlike Grandpa, they react normally.
Then the bell cuts out quickly.
"Um, I just wrote to let you know...."
"Ah, you said you wanted to see Elena's grave. It is remarkable that there are such enthusiastic young people. Someone?
Ah, it's me.
I'm going one step ahead.
"Hmm. Um... Gilford... was it? I've been listening. Happy rookie match. They fought with Belle."
"Oh, yeah, well. You know very well."
"Hahaha, when it comes to rookie fights, in the magicians' neighborhood, that's the story. I'm glad Belle knows his limits."
"Yes, absolutely. That's why I said I had to go."
…………
What... you're some kind of negative parent.
But it's about someone else's house, and I don't have the right to talk.
Even if it were Elena's descendants.
"Don't look so dark, Belle. --Well, it was Elena's grave. You wouldn't do anything wrong. [M] Chardeur, show him around."
"Yes, sir."
That said, the grandfather bows deeply.
"Then let's guide the others to the Mansion first. There are plenty of spare rooms in the bedrooms."
"Oh, I'm looking forward to it...! I'll be right behind you, Gil."
Ah.
I'm taking Grandpa to Elena's grave alone.
--Finally, the time was approaching for my thousand-year-old wish to come true.
