The Branded Female Fencer

"Hey."

"... Hi."

We'll be alone, somewhere between Jake and Dute Hilde. Jake remains in the room and stands on the spot.

"... why don't you sit down?

"Right."

Jake sits in Dute Hilde's bed. Dute Hilde said it meant "to the chair," but Jake didn't seem to think about it. Dute Hilde gets nervous about having Jake at a distance that's going to reach his face if he reaches out, but he didn't feel so bad about it. I know Jake has no offense, and I've decided to think he's this carefree character. Even so, the usual Dute Hilde would definitely have protested. I'm not saying anything now because I owe Jake and I'm willing to try to walk over with him, I just can't.

Silence drifts into the room. Neither of you said anything about looking for a cut in the story.

"" Um!

At the same time we talked. These two may be more alike than we think ourselves.

Talk to me from you.

"No, please come from Mr. Jake"

"Yes, it's because it creeps"

"I'm telling you to stop that twirl!?

Ugh, the two of us are about to stare at each other. And I sighed at the same time.

"I wonder why the wasps are like this."

"You don't feel right, do you?

"Well, even so... we don't want to hang out forever."

I agree with you.

Jake nods.

"So. What do you want to do after this?

"What do you mean?

I don't know what Jake's asking means, and Dute Hilde listens back.

"That's why I want to come to school. There's been a lot going on, but I don't want to keep you out of this mess. Well, I still can't forgive you for what you did to Nellie, but I think it's Nellie, not me, who decides that. Besides, I think I've done too much without talking to you about twirling, and... so if you're going to twirl but apologize to Nellie, as far as I'm concerned, I'd like to take my side in twirling."

"Mr. Jake..."

Jake looks a little to the side, and he talks casually. Jake wasn't used to these situations either, and honestly it was hard to apologize. For him, he had come to this occasion with more difficult thoughts than going towards Alberto.

Dute Hilde somehow learns intimacy and ease of talking to Jake about his attitude like that.

"Right... even as a wasp, I didn't mean to hurt Mr. Nellie. Honestly, I didn't think that would happen."

"But you were gonna water me?

Jake cuts back mean. Dute Hilde gets all over the word.

"Well, that's... well, it's a boy, and killing him doesn't seem to kill him..."

"That's a terrible one, you"

"Oh, that's...! But honestly, I didn't really think I'd do it. I had just entered the classroom through another entrance, too, so I didn't know what was going on. But that's a waxy species. I'll take full responsibility."

"Huh. So you're coming to school?

"Yeah, even tomorrow."

Jake took a big back stretch and deep breath in the words to show relief.

"Oh good. I thought it would be all kinds of awkward to stay like this! Is this going to solve everything?

"Will Mr. Nellie forgive me?

"I don't think that's a problem. He's a man who forgets when he wakes up asleep, even if he doesn't like it."

Jake put his arms together. Yeah, nodding. Dute Hilde chuckles at the trick.

"Now that I think about it, I'm starting to wonder why I hated Jake."

"Oh, my God, you're such a pain in the ass to twirl"

"Sounds like a lot to me."

Dute Hilde makes her peel, but Jake doesn't give a shit about her like that. I guess Dute Hilde got angry because Jake is one of these people. For better or worse than ever, everyone around me reacted to every move of Dute Hilde, the Duke's Lady. But for Dute Hilde, Jake was different from every human being he'd ever met, and he acted as if she was out of sight. Dute Hilde may have wanted to distract Jake without realizing it himself. Although the method is naive and wrong.

Jake lays down in bed and keeps talking. I fell back just like that, so I got my head around Dute Hilde's knee, but once again, Jake doesn't give a shit.

"Hey, hey! Where's your head..."

"You can't help being told that, can you? I had a little something for Lotte, too."

"It's..."

Dute Hilde has a mouthful of corn.

"How about a proper apology to Lotte, too?

"Of course I am! Once I decide to do it, I hate halfway around!

"Ha, its intent!

Jake looks up at Dute Hilde's face.

"But why were you abusing Lotte?

"It's... an embarrassing story, because when she's cute and cute, everyone praises her..."

"What, it's just jealousy"

Dute Hilde blushed too bright a face of embarrassment as Jake did not hesitate to deviate.

"I would also say that..."

"He said he didn't need to be jealous like that. It's cute to twirl."

"Huh?"

Not knowing what Jake had said, Dute Hilde overheard.

"Now what?

"Yeah, I said I think I'm curly but cute"

Jake said without hesitation, so Dute Hilde turned his face bright red with the lights this time. No matter how many times I've been praised by the nobles for their far-fetched beauty phrases, I've never been told this directly to face to face with Dute Hilde. Not much of a mess, Dute Hilde, who doesn't know what he's talking about.

"Oh, uh, what's, uh, what's, uh, what's so cute about wasps?

"Mostly all"

Jake, who says it off with no light content, gets up and takes a serious look at Dute Hilde's face.

"My skin is white and beautiful, and I think my hair is great. Beautiful eyes, too. I don't know about that hairstyle."

"This is fashionable in waxy countries!

"Phew, I think I'm gonna be a pain in the ass after I wake up in the morning."

I touched Dute Hilde's hair while Jake said so, so that's when his hand touched Dute Hilde's cheek.

"Hiwow!

"What kind of weird voice are you raising?

"What are you doing to the lady!?

Dute Hilde turned his face increasingly bright red. Redder than ripe cane fruit. But he's not the kind of person who realizes that, like why Dute Hilde is turning bright red on Jake. Only sharp about Lisa, but otherwise dull.

"Are you okay, twirl? You have a bright red face, don't you?

"Well, whose fault is it?"

"? Something I don't know. I wonder if he's had another fever."

That said Jake hit his forehead from the front on Dute Hilde's forehead, so the two faces get very close.

"Hih, hih, hah..."

"Oh, come on!?

I fell into bed just saying that Dute Hilde was the limit. Jake will be able to hold Dute Hilde in unintentional support. Dute Hilde, who came confused by the situation, began to talk about things he didn't know well.

"Oh, that's... that's too soon. Still the wasps..."

"I don't know what to say. Ah, it stinks already."

"What are you tickling together, children?"

"Whoa!?

Jake is just as surprised because he accidentally heard a voice from behind.

"What the hell is that? Stop sneaking into the room without a sound."

"Sounds like a lot to me, Jake. It's a habit, right? More than that, Dear Dute Hilde, I will leave snacks and drinks here. If you eat this and go to sleep, you'll be completely back to normal tomorrow morning. We'll send you home afterwards, so you can start in the afternoon at the school. Are you sure you want to arrange that?

"Already like..."

It didn't look like Dute Hilde replied in a very decent condition, but Kiko left the room intact with a courtesy.

Dute Hilde is still snug in Jake's arms.

"... well, there was a lot going on, but we, we're gonna be friends, okay?

"Friends... right"

Dute Hilde finally returns to sanity. I also felt like I learned how to catch on, but, well, I decided not to care.

"Then it's my pleasure. Oh, let's get rid of me, shall we?

"Then the wasp should also be called 'Hilde'. That's what I'm asking people close to call me. I'll give you special permission to call me that."

"Uh, I'd better twirl"

"Not good!

Two people who develop into contention as they are in the room. I'm starting a bickering almost with each other in my arms, but I don't even seem to care about the two young people yet. Two people are sneaking around from outside the room listening to how it is.

"What's the matter, Tsukiko?

"I saw it a few seconds before I really kissed you"

"Hmm... did I grow it the wrong way?

Miriazal roars.

"Can't we do sex education properly, after all?

"You're telling me to do that?

"If I leave it to you, I can make a girl! I don't know what Lisa's gonna say later."

Imagine Lisa, who was genuinely angry, and Miriazal trembles.

"Whatever, I'm trying to keep Lisa from showing her school life..."

"If you suck, you can have Jake's Harlem at school, right?

"Nature is horrible..."

and so on, and Miriazal and Shizuko were worried about the crap.

And back at school, Dute Hilde reconciles safely with his classmates. Their class then became a friendly, rare class, regardless of nobility or common people. At its heart are Jake and Dute Hilde, but they were still having a friendly oral fight today, which gradually became a specialty of the school.
