I felt like I had been caught in the crossfire, and I felt fine.
Return to the Mansion and rendezvous with Belle.
Looks like Dorothy and the others are in the library right now, and Bell came to pick me up.
"How was it, Gil?
Bell, look at me with your blurry eyes.
When I looked at Elena's grave with my own eyes and confirmed that her death was a fact, my perception in me changed dramatically.
Silver hair, unlike unhygienic battlefields, is shiny and transparent.
Skin without a fierce force under the flames is clean without stains.
Lighter blue eyes like the blue sky than the blue sea.
Not a martial body, but a soft body.
What have I been thinking? [M]
I can clearly see it now.
Velvet is velvet.
A descendant of Elena, who... is at the forefront of his family's life.
--And my friend who learns with me in London.
I laugh at Bell's question.
"Oh, I knew Bell was Bell."
Huh?
I smile at a bell with a strange face.
"Anyway, I'm satisfied! Thanks for bringing me."
Belle waves his hands in front of his chest.
"No, thank you for everything you've done for me... I don't know if this pays off."
"I didn't take care of you... But I appreciate the book."
"Good."
Bell tended to laugh on his face.
I thought it looked like Elena before.
Now the expression looked purely bell-like and cute.
◇ ◇ ◇
Then I'll join Dorothy and the others and enjoy the mansion.
Grandpa Charles and Maid Margaret will take us to the Mansion.
Beginning with the huge library, the garden, courtyard, and basement that I saw earlier were also equipped with training rooms.
The walls had a line of defense to keep Bell's magic from breaking.
I have a drier smile than a Knights' training ground.
I saw the mansion all the way and found out.
That's the fact that Bell's house is so rich!!
I'm not a nobleman... but I wonder what you're doing.
The truth is a mystery.
And at sunset, we were invited to dinner by Belle's parents.
Long dining tables between large and luxurious meals.
On both sides, waiters, maids, grandpa Charles, etc. are absent.
Len sits next to me and talks.
"Hey, this rice is too luxurious..."
"Don't talk about rice. I don't know what they say."
"Then what are you saying?
"Dinner...?
Len looks at me with a gloomy expression.
Don't look at me like that.
"We'd better keep quiet."
"That's right...."
"Now, everyone, please eat more and more! You'll eat plenty!
Belle's father, Saifa, prompts us to eat with a gentle smile.
Good, looks like it's not going to be hard.
"" I'll take it!
Steak with a delicious sauce and a fashionable salad.
A puddle-like food in a strangely colored soup.
Anyway, I've never eaten anything luxurious before.
We'll see Dorothy and the others eat, and we'll start eating with a gaze.
Then Sifa laughs.
"Hahaha, you can eat as you like. I'm a friend of Belle's. It's not such a tough place."
Ren and I face each other.
"It's just dinner with friends... that's all you have to think about"
Using that word as a cue, we start eating manners or whatever we want.
Looking at it, Dorothy stunned and held her head.
"Those who have no education because of this....."
With that said, Dorothy cleverly slices the steak with a fork and knife into her mouth.
"Well, Dorothy. It's fun to eat like a regular dorm."
Belle's face smiled too.
Dorothy swallowed the meat and wiped her mouth with a pucker.
― Well, that's true too.
The meal is over, and we drink a poured drink while we're hungry.
Oh, it was so delicious.
Then Sifa opened her mouth as she was waiting.
"So, what does Belle look like at school?
"Hey, Dad...."
Belle tried to stop it in a shy way, but he was pushed out.
"As usual, Mr. Sifa. Belle enjoys my pace."
"Hey, even Dorothy...."
"Hahaha, because my daughter won't tell me anything from herself. Anything else?
Following Dorothy, Len also opened her mouth.
You're totally relaxed.
"That's right, I don't know if you can take care of it or not... Just being here will heal you."
Well, that's a pretty high rating.
I see. At first, I disagreed, but maybe I was right to let him go to London. "
Disagree...?
What did I object to?
I get caught up in it.
Even though your sister is in London, this mansion won't cost you a lot of money.
"After all, it's magic!
I see. The chain magic that inherited Elena's magic is a really great word. "
"Haha, Gil always says he'll beat himself in rookie fights."
Ren tells the truth about the rookie fight.
But I pressed my mouth because I thought I had said something wrong immediately afterwards.
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa!
The air...
"Speaking of which, Gilford won. Oh, wow. That's right. The Knights in the future? Is there a way to be a researcher?"
That said, Belle's father laughs with joy.
That Bell lost.
As if you didn't care about Bell's magic from the beginning.
I thought about it during the day, but I'm still indifferent to magic.
Bell listens to the story with a slight grudge.
What is this feeling...
Isn't it about magic that your daughter came back to study magic?
More than that, I can't believe I care more about school life...
As for magic, I wonder if I should let it go. No, but is that what parents do?
"Belle seems to be having fun at school."
"--Yes, Father....."
Great. Wow. I was worried that Belle, who wasn't good with people, would miss her. Blessed be such a good friend. I'm glad it turned out that way. I hate it when I tell you to come back and show me your face... but it's thanks to your friends that you're back. "
Sifa and Yuma laugh at each other and drink wine.
I'm somehow worried, and I'm going to mumble again.
Um...
"What is it?
"Well, don't you care about Bell's magic? Grades... well, I don't know what to say."
"Gil-kun...."
Then they looked at each other.
"In the first place, I allowed Bell to go to London, not for magic, but as part of my social studies. You see, Belle isn't shy enough to say magic first, is he? Honestly, I didn't think you'd get it... no, no, I really appreciate what a good friend you've got."
These people...
I know it's no offense, but I don't understand how Bell wants to do his magic.
I don't trust you at all with magic.
For my parents, Bell is just a cute daughter, my beloved child... magic is secondary.
It's nothing unhappy about it.
However, seeing Bell's dark face makes it impossible.
I remember what Bell said during the exam.
"You have to admit I'm like a sister spill."
Perhaps all the magic is in the hands of my sister, and Belle is in this house...
At that time, the door opens with momentum.
"Hey, why hasn't anybody come to pick me up!? I'm back..."
Everyone sees the sound.
There stood a smooth, long woman with light maroon hair tied down. Big luggage in one hand.
The woman looked familiar.
Yes, I've seen you with Homura-san several times...
"Ah, oh, you're home already, Belle. I don't think I'll enjoy taking my friends with me."
"!... oneechan. I'm not coming home....."
"Sister!?
Bell's face suddenly stretched.
Velvet's sister smiles.
"My beloved sister is back, and she'll come to see you.... you won't even see me at school. Welcome back, Belle."
