Somehow, The Villainess Who Regressed in Time Lost Her Magic Power, so She Turned into a Secluded Maiden

The demon's guidance by Count Millicier was still the same in our world.

There was no time to rest, and I and Alberic were sweating by the time the Count's men came to call me.

No, I think it's time to head for the Knights.

With such a refreshing smile, the Count of Millicier wiping his sweat with a towel made him feel no tiredness.

"Thank you for dedicating your valuable time to the training."

"No, your Highness is my dear disciple." Let's watch the practice again at any time. ”

Thank you very much.

The Earl of Millicier, who was supposed to be waving his sword with us while teaching us, walked out of the practice area with the same bright expression he had when he came.

When Count Millisier was out of sight, Alberic, who was standing next to him, sat down on the spot as if his strength had been relieved.

"You want to stand up? Let me help you."

"... that's fine. Damn, I can't do anything about it."

Alberik grumbled at my hand.

When I retracted my hand while wandering, I handed Alberic's towel and water bottle to him. Honestly received, Alberic swallows water vigorously.

Then she dropped her gaze to the floor awkwardly.

“You can laugh. Even though I practice every day, I don't have any physical strength at all. I really hate it."

“Don't laugh. You don't have to worry about anyone laughing at your efforts.”

In my words, Alberik raised his face with a pounced expression. However, she immediately sighed with a smile of mockery.

"... you're that kind of person, aren't you? Deliver results only when you make an effort. No jealousy, no mockery. Such a righteous man."

"I'm not the saintly gentleman you think I am. Sometimes I'm jealous, sometimes I'm swayed by emotions.... you're just regretting it."

"My brother? Regret?"... it doesn't look good on you. "

Alberik muttered as he squinted his eyebrows, unintentionally shrugging his shoulders.

- Looks good on you. It's only natural that the Alberic of this world should think so.

Driven by jealousy, you may lose yourself, or your heart may feel cold because of the horror of losing someone, or your body may move first rather than lose your coolness.

It's all about the emotions that come from being attracted to Rachel.

“I didn't know that I could see people straight from face to face. I thought I had to do everything myself, but that was also a mistake. People will be good at it and not good at it."

You don't think my brother would like that, do you?

"Haha, of course." If I seem to be able to do anything, it is due to the power around me. Cyril makes up for my inability to move, and Theodore expands my field of view. And thanks to the Third Knights, I can expand my range of action with peace of mind. "

― ― That's how I've been since I've been in this world. I'm just feeling helpless.

After staring at her hand, she clenched her fist. Then he raised his face and turned his gaze to Alberik.

"I admire you."

"Is your brother respecting me...?"

"Ah. Do you know what herbs are used in this ointment?"

I got the ointment out of my pocket before I went to Horta. It seems to have been the same in this world, and it is what I usually carry with me in case something happens.

When I handed the ointment to Alberic, he opened the lid of the can and drew his nose closer to check the fragrance.

"This is! Thamuru, isn't it? It's a rare herb that shouldn't have flowed into our country... but where did you get this?"

"It's from an emissary of the Empire."

"After all, this herb is a rarity that can only be picked up in the southern regions of the Empire." It is a medicinal herb that helps repair wounds and has long been used locally as a wound treatment, but it is difficult to grow and cannot be produced in large quantities. ”

Even though it's rare, Alberik knew it well.

"Yes, because the professor showed it to me once." Can I touch this a little bit? "

"Yeah, sure. You can take it home because there's another one in the office."

As the tensions that had been constantly flowing between us earlier blew away in an instant, Alberik asked, “Is that okay?” he laughed, his eyes glowing.

"You're lively." You really like plants. You've been walking around the garden with a picture book for a long time. "

In my words, Alberik snapped his gaze off.

"... I don't remember very well"

While muttering to disappear, Alberic unexpectedly leaked a smile as he put the can of ointment into his pocket.

Without interaction with Alberik in the original world, he would not have been able to understand his brother's personality. However, if you look at it this way, you will see that Alberik is a person who hasn't changed anything in this world or in his original world.

"Alberik's knowledge will be a fortune for this country. It will definitely be a great force as an expert in the future. But that's not all. I respect you for your perseverance. Of course, there are many people who can work hard on things that are of interest to them. However, even if you are not good at feeling pain, I respect you who can work hard every day without stretching your hands."

"Brother..."

Knowledgeable and skilled, Alberik has assisted a lot in the last few years. Instead, we were forced to establish a route for gathering plants of rare varieties from other countries.

"Do you have a moment after this?" I want you to stop by my office with me. "

Seeing that the sweat was coming out, I told Alberik that.

Alberik narrowed his eyes suspiciously. However, I didn't take the attitude of refusing like before, and came to me suspiciously and honestly.
