Break up with the Bells and leave the Mansion.
I wonder how many people live in this huge mansion no matter how many times I look at it.
"I am the butler alone. There are five other maids who were welcomed earlier. The waiter, the gardener, the grave keeper, a few guards of the Mansion - nearly twenty, besides the Roar family, are in the Mansion."
"Hah..."
My stupid voice leaks to an incredible number.
If there were that many, would the Mansion be this big?
No, the other way around. Is it because it is so big that you need that many employees?
It's a feeling we commoners don't understand.
I don't know if it's a robbery, but the security's tight.
- There aren't many people who think it's security.
Is it a deterrent because they are heroes in the first place?
And then...
I look at my grandfather's hip sword again.
Don't smell that sword.
I'll be taken by my grandfather, out of the courtyard, to the back of the mansion.
"This is a garden that your wife likes and cares for. --Well, of course, because the gardener is good at it... oh, no need to say anything else."
That said, the gray-haired gentleman wrinkled his eyes and laughed.
Can I say that...?
Still, he's a soft person. You treat me well, too.
The garden is lined up with small tables and chairs for lunch in the middle, surrounded by colorful flowers.
Beautiful trees lined up, all cut up beautifully.
"Out of here, there's a tomb where generations of Roa ancestors sleep, just a little bit more."
"... okay, I'm just a classmate. I've never been to the grave before..."
Then the grandfather said, "I can't really..." and then continued.
"I've begun to write to my wife begging her so much. I always just nodded in silence, and when I said it well, I was a good listener... and when I said it badly, I couldn't express my opinion. I only begged so desperately for admission to London Magic School and to enter your cemetery."
"Eh... the bell...?
Unexpected stories clog my words.
Parent-child relationships are all in the house.
I have no idea without my parents.
However, as far as this grandfather's story and the conversation between Bell and his parents are concerned, Bell does not seem to be the type of person who can defy his parents.
Still, I didn't expect Bell to give me permission as desperately as he decided to go to London...
I feel strange and warm inside my chest.
I knew Belle was your descendant, Elena.
I don't want to thank you very much later.
"I'm sure I trust you. I was glad to see it.... you must enjoy your life in London. I am delighted to have friends other than Dorothy. --Well, if I knew him well, I had connections with the son of the Rior family...."
"- Don't worry. Belle is a good friend to me."
"Ha ha ha. I'm relieved. It means that you will die without regret."
"Hey, don't tell me you're going to die...."
Grandpa laughs and adds the word "joke".
I don't know if he's a butler with a sense of humor or just a nasty grandfather...
"There's still a little more to the cemetery. Let's talk a little bit more."
That said, Grandpa glances at us.
"Where do you know Mr. Bell?
I can't help but think of meeting Bell.
"I see, I knew Bell during the exam. Dorothy and I got to know each other first, or we got to know each other, and then we got to meet Belle."
I miss it.
Dorothy scolded me... no, not now.
Bell is much gentler.
Grandpa roars slowly.
"You have to thank Miss Dorothy. Nothing is more thankful than more connections. They've been friends since they were little... like real sisters. Connection is important, this world - to live in society.... of course Bell is a retreat idea, so it's more important than others."
This grandfather seems to understand Bell quite well.
I leak the episode of the first time I met him with such carelessness.
"So when I first met Elena, I made a mistake...."
"Hahaha, because you have two melons on your face. Everyone was surprised when they grew up like portraits in the Mansion."
"Of course! --So, I was surprised and my head was confused, and I grabbed my hand... oh my gosh, it was so impatient."
"Ha-ha?
Then the grandfather's movements suddenly stopped.
The air has changed.
Don't look back, just stay still and don't move around.
"Er... Grandpa...?
"What....."
"How rude!!! I can't believe I took Bell-sama's first!!! Are you insane!? You're crazy, but you can't do that unless you're crazy!!
The fiercely intense grandfather floats an incredible sword with me and my face a few centimeters away.
"A wolf pretending to be a friend is you!! I thought it was suspicious!!!
The grandfather reached out to the thin sword on his hips as if he had been cut.
"I'll pick the bad seeds here!! Miss Bell will understand too!! Unnecessary connections will eventually create mixed lines!! Get ready!!"
"That's not what I was saying!? Hey, hey, hey, stop! Wait, wait! It's the first time I've ever stolen anything! It's a misunderstanding!!
"What's wrong!! Bell-sama's... uhh, hold Bell-sama's hand and kiss her like that... someone who knows!!! I was just a little against this, going to London!
"Hah!?
"Belle is innocent! You are an outsider to the evil in your heart! No one complains about cutting it down here!
That said, Grandpa pulls out his sword as far as the inside of the blade.
Its eyes are sharp and full of murder.
What's wrong with this grandfather... you love Bell too much!!
It was weird from the beginning, but you were kidding!!
"No, seriously, stop! Really stop!! I didn't do anything! I only touched it a little at first, and I didn't do anything else! I'm kissing!!
My desperate appeal finally slows my grandfather down.
But I still can't get my hands off my waist sword.
"... isn't that true? If you ask Bell-san...?
I shake my head vertically desperately.
If I was truncated by mistake...!
I'm not gonna let you shut me up, so I'm gonna kill you!?
And this grandfather... I know he's not the only one...!
"True, true! Belle and I are just friends!!
Throwing a skeptical gaze at my desperate persuasion, Grandpa Charles.
I raised my hands slightly upside down and my grandfather stayed on his hip sword for a while.
--After a little while, my grandfather finally sheathed his sword.
The cachan sounds.
Grandpa sighs deeply and coughs lightly.
"Gohong - I see. I'm sorry I doubted our guest. Punishment is spontaneous. What is it?"
That said, my grandfather apologizes for his rudeness.
"No, I'm sorry too, so I'm sorry...."
I can only see a future where there is some kind of punishment or trouble for Bell.
I chose to be calm.
Bell-related topics in front of this grandfather...
"It would be helpful if you could say so. Oh, I'm so sorry. I may not know, but in fact, I was particularly fond of Belle...."
"You'll see!!
My sharp penetration glows unexpectedly.
"Well, well, you look so cute as a handsome kid."
That retreat would have been remarkable.
But the grandfather didn't agree to it unexpectedly, just listened to me in silence.
"But I'm relieved. Bell-san is still alive in school."
"Oh, I'm doing fine. I'm not going anywhere without your help."
"Help me? What the hell are you doing?"
"Stop fooling around!!
I finally said jijii, but I feel like I can say jijii anymore.
Well, I guess so. I was worried before I left this house, but it looks like a nice environment.... but there's one problem with that school... "
Huh?
"Oops, it's time for the cemetery. Are you ready?
"Ah, ahh."
After all, I couldn't hear any more.
But more than that.
Finally, I'm going to the cemetery.
An iron fence and stone walls in a wood-like landscape with lush trees.
There is a stone staircase, followed by an iron gate.
There stands a terrible cat-headed man in a tight triangle hat holding a lantern during the day.
"He is Jawok the Tomb Guard. Well, it's silent, but my arm is a sure sorcerer. Come on, let's go."
I'll follow my grandfather to the first step of the stone steps.
