[Seven Bell Moments on Holy Night Festival Day (AM 7: 00)]

Time goes back a little.

"Good morning. Belle."

"Ah, good morning, Mr. Linsha"

Holy Night Festival, that morning, Bell looked like he would have fun to see.

- Well, sure. What excites me about Holy Night Festival Day is that children have no choice?

Even though I think so, it is Linsha who gets stuck smiling.

Linsha doesn't have a sister, but watching Bell kind of makes me feel like I've got a sister.

- Still, what the hell does this kid have to do with you, Meer?

Meer said, I meant with my belly sister...... but I wonder what that's just like Linsha.

- But does the shadow look like Meer, or does it feel like a child with a remote explanation?

Being a child who is in no way able to help, it is also of great help as a Linsha. Changing clothes, taking a bath, if noble, let your squire do it. Bell can do it alone, naturally.

- And you're not a bad kid, are you? Well, I don't know about giving money around to that person I took care of...

That way, I couldn't help but like Linsha.

Money of immediate value, to thank you.

That means liquidating the other person's favor on the spot.

What people get to know each other better by exchanging favors and being kind. You can give it back to someone who has made it better for you by making it better for you again. Kindness returns kindness to kindness and love returns love. Whether it's a friend, a parent, a child, a companion, or a good lord... that's what Linsha thinks.

But what if I pay for it?

That's where the relationship cuts off. The one who pays and the one who offers just enough consideration to match it. That's all there is to a dry relationship. That doesn't lead to fostering bonds, Linsha thinks.

But I'm more concerned about Linsha than that......,

- This kid feels like he's trying to give back his favor when he can, so that he can be gone whenever he wants. Whenever a relationship breaks up, it's like not letting them lose money..., you look like you're dating like that.

That may be called a clean way of life. I certainly don't know if I'll see anyone I see today again tomorrow. So thank you when I can properly thank you. Maybe it's a very fair way of life. However,

- In this kid's case, you kind of feel like you're giving up. It's such a dry place that you think you can die whenever you want...

Linsha didn't like it a little bit. Children innocently believe in tomorrow. At least, on this island of St. Noel, that should have been allowed......

- Well, fine. When you say goodbye to me, if you give me the money, I will scold you to say thank you in words. That's okay, 'cause I'm gonna teach you one last time.

and so on, and it was Linsha who stuck with me.

[Eight Bell Moments on Holy Night Festival Day (AM 8: 00)]

"Good morning, Belle"

It was in the dining room, when Bell was having breakfast.

When did you show up, there was a Strina Etwa Yellowmoon standing behind the bell.

Seeing that face, Linsha felt just a little uncomfortable.

- I've always laughed lovingly, but I don't know, my laugh seems a little stiff today...

"? What's wrong? Leena. I don't know, she's not feeling well..."

Apparently, Bell felt the same question. Tilt your little neck and stare at Strina.

"That's not true. More than that, look, Belle."

With that said, Strina showed Bell what she had lowered from her neck.

"Holy Night Festival, so I lowered it from my neck. What do you think?"

It was a small horse amulet (Troya) made by Bell before.

"Oh, you put it on me. Ugh, I'm glad."

Nico grinning bell. Strina said to Bell like that.

"So, to thank this Troya, why don't we walk outside for a little lunch today?

"Heh? Are you outside?

"Yeah. Yeah. Because I enjoyed my picnic in the woods before this. He said it would be fun if we went out together again. Anyway, there's nothing to do until Candlefire Mass."

"Fine, but are you going to the woods again? Sure, you can't go in..."

"Hehe, for those with poisonous mushrooms growing. But you can get into the field near the entrance. I've been there the last time."

Then, Strina smiles pathetically.

"Hey, we're going to put you in that beautiful field. Isn't that very nice?

"Um, I get it. Let's go. I'm just looking forward to it."

Bell smiles happily, too.

Seeing that exchange...... I wonder why, Linsha had a bad feeling.

No, if it feels bad, maybe I've remembered it before.

Because Linsha knew all too well about the ingredients in Straina's tone.

That was because it had a subtly similar tone to the way her brother, the fan Lampere, spoke when he was trying to fool someone......

Linsha opened her mouth to follow the unconscious alarm.

"Okay, Belle. I'll accompany you."

See Strina and his squire Barbara as he tows. Then,

"That helps. I've had a little business since lunch."

Barbara said to Linsha lightly enough to clap out and bowed her head deeply.

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Straina."

[Second Bell Moment on Holy Night Festival Day (PM 1: 00)]

After lunch, Bell and Strina, along with their accompanying Linsha, were coming to the woods with them.

As she was saying, there was never a watch at the forest entrance, and the three of them were able to come to the field without any problems.

It was a wilderness that came the other day, but the season is already winter. Either that or the sight felt cold.

- I don't have people, so I might feel that way. The town made a fuss at today's festival... Exactly, even if it's a festival, no one's going to come to this place.

"Well, unlike when I came here, I kind of miss you."

Strina looks around and sighs small.

"Too bad. Hey, Belle, why don't we go deeper into the woods?

"Huh? Is it in the back? But if a soldier finds you, he'll be pissed off, won't he?

"I'm fine, I'm fine. You're not doing anything wrong, are you?

That said, Strina pulled Bell's hand. He looked confused, Bell, but eventually he gave up, grinned, and ran with Strina.

To the innocent appearance of the two children, Linsha exhales a small, reassuring breath.

- Kids, I knew, had to look like that.

Linsha called out to both of them, thinking, etc.

"Master Bell, Master Strina, I'd rather not go too far... Ah!

... Shortly afterwards, a gutsy shock ran to my head.

At the same time, the force falls out of his knees and his body collapses.

"... ahhh..."

Without even having time to scream, Linsha's consciousness is rapidly entangled in darkness.

"Ah! Mr. Linsha!

In the distance, I can hear Bell.

"... Belle, run..."

The voice that squeezed out its power, but with a faint voice..., so it couldn't reach Bell...

"I will not allow you to kill Mr. Linsha!

The next voice I heard was right around the corner..., just above my head.

A sharp and noble voice......, never heard of Linsha before, it's Belle's voice.

Such a bell sounds like a laugh. The voice of an elderly woman, this voice...

"Haha, I can't believe I won't forgive you. It's like, you're a real princess. Do you think I'll ask? Like the princess ordered, you think I can do anything according to your word?

Crease, and a laughing sound in your mouth. That's how the voice goes on.

"Nonsense. Nonsense. What's in it for us to do that?

A whisper, a voice as if it were entangling. Opposite Bell said in a clear voice with Rin.

"... if you hadn't killed Mr. Linsha..., I'd follow you very closely. It's not about killing me here, is it? Aren't you trying to take me hostage, Meer?

"... oh? You're smart by the looks of it, Belle."

"If I kill Mr. Linsha here, I will resist dying. Or do you want me to pass out? I think that would be tough..."

"Hehe, oh, you work your head as abominable as it really is. It was a surprise. Sure, I was planning on getting you to sleep... but with your help, it would be easier."

a lot of silence...... then the

"Fine. I won't stab you in the face. Most of all, you may die as a result... You won't be able to move with that wound or call for help. If you can't move, you'll suffer extra, and maybe it's kinder to stab him in the stomach... Oh, and that one's pathetic too. I wouldn't have done this if I hadn't involved you..."

The voice continued as if to whip the bell. But for one thing, the deal seems to have succeeded.

Unexpectedly, there were signs that the bell would crouch in by my side......

"... Thank you for your help so far, Mr. Linsha"

That being said, Bell put something in Linsha's collar with the mess. The feeling…, cold, leaves the metal feeling who it is, Linsha quickly found out.

It was two silver coins.

"This is all I can thank you for. I'm sorry. I'm sorry this happened to you. Please, be safe."

So, as the footsteps go away, so does Linsha's consciousness...

"... kidding... don't do it"

How long have you been unconscious......

Linsha woke up.

Try to open your eyes, face down. It was the blood that fell out of my head and I couldn't open it properly.

A bumpy and aching head. My body flutters, shakes naturally, and soon falls on the spot.

I failed many times trying to get up and fell many times trying to walk out.

Well, it does seem like things are going to get worse if it moves. If this stays down, you might want to wait for someone to come. Because I'm sure it's not that unlikely to be found during the replacement of someone on the watch for poisonous mushrooms.

But..., still...

Linsha starts moving forward.

Like dragging your body when it drifts.

Nice to meet you, while you take it to the tree.

gushing out of its belly...... to be thrust and moved by anger......

"Thank you... if you want to... more, something else, take shape... Thank you with silver coins? I want something like this, and I'm not... you, you know... I was..."

Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

To Belle...... and more than that, to herself who couldn't protect her enough......

"I, on, while..., I can't believe this is happening..."

I was going to protect Bell, but I was protected.

In this way, I could not help but be angry at the fact that I had made him repay me with silver coins... and forgive the situation I had to.

But there, Linsha grins sarcastically.

"Ha, but yes... of two silver coins, valuation, or…. Sure, I allowed the kidnapping, it's me, so maybe this... just fine..."

Gillin ', eating up his teeth, Linsha stopping, never.

That's loyalty. Her feelings for Belle.

"My loyalty is for two silver coins...... Then..., you deserve two pieces of silver, show me how it works, I'll just..."

Make sure to crawl off, off, and Linsha goes on through the woods.

I'm at St. Noel's School, to bring the news to my people......
