The Little Duchess’ Home Tutor
Episode 37: Readiness and Passion
Lydia and I broke up. When we got to the office, it was unlocked. You're early, someone's already here.
The maids in the Linster family are very enthusiastic about their work, although you can tell by looking at Anna. They were also the ones who cleaned this building that was dirty and polished it up shiny. Even when I picked out the conditioner, I was helped a lot.
I'm just too enthusiastic, so I asked him to 'rest a little' and he looked like he was going to cry. I didn't mean to take the job.
Perhaps someone came out early today and is cleaning and getting ready. I have to thank you later.
Through the hallway, to the office.
"Good morning. A little early, but let me unlock it."
"... Huh? Why are you here?
It was someone who shouldn't have been here. He was Felicia in maid clothes for some reason. Apparently, he was wiping dry on his desk.
Look at me in amazement and smile and answer like a child whose prank has succeeded.
"Master Allen said so." I want to work with you. "
"Well, yes... after graduation, I told you so. Besides, isn't today the closing ceremony of the Royal School?
"I couldn't wait until next spring. The Royal School has been expelled, so I will take care of you here from today. Nice to meet you"
"Become!? Anything, Mr. Felicia."
"Felicia, it is. And stop being overly respectful. We're going to have a hard time together, so don't hesitate."
"... you know what I mean? Leaving Royal School is synonymous with being bounced off a public birth course, right? Sometimes graduating like me doesn't help, but it doesn't hurt. The title" Royal School Graduate "is useful even when you succeed the Foss Chamber of Commerce at some point."
"Not a problem at all. My father said," I can't let my daughter inherit the important chamber of commerce. "'I was told. My parents left today, too. Don't worry."
Mouth the outrageous content with a smile on your face.
... a little too far into it, I guess.
I did want to work with Felicia. I seriously thought how far I would go if I gave a girl the opportunity to feel so talented in business.
But I'm not going to go crazy to her life without my hair.
When I'm worried, I shudder and laugh.
"Master Allen is a cheater."
"... suddenly it's terrible"
"But you're really sweet. Now you've been guided to my future, haven't you? You've only been talking about me for such a short time."
"That's natural. Have you decided where to live?
"No. I'm thinking of letting you live here for the time being. Will you forgive me?
"... you can't. This is not where pretty girls like you live. It's dangerous to be out at night."
"Huh."
A strange voice leaked out of Felicia's mouth. I also see the cheeks. They turn red within sight.
Is something wrong?
No way, I've never seen my face in a mirror, there's no way.
"Oh, you're playing too much. It just sounds flattering to hear from Allen, who is usually in contact with Lydia and the others, or is cute."
"The only time I flatter you is when I make fun of Lydia and Tina. I won't lie with my appearance that I did that. You are a very attractive girl. So I reject living here, even temporarily. If I have to apologize to your parents..."
"There is no need for Master Allen to be able to bow his head. This is what I chose. I don't need to intervene."
"... you're stubborn"
"Didn't you like that, too?
"Ha... I'm surrendering. Regards, Felicia"
"Welcome, Master Allen."
Exchange a girly soft hand with a handshake.
Unexpectedly bitter. Has this been avenged? Shit. I misjudged this kid's readiness and passion.
... Anna, is that why you didn't tell me your name? Lydia and the others knew. The mystery that got involved yesterday is also ice solved.
However, I guess Felicia didn't talk about leaving her parents' house. If I'd known, the Linster family would have prepared it.
I have no choice. It's temporary, and those kids who come this afternoon will understand... and I want to believe.
"Now let's get to work. Heh heh, I was so excited last night that I didn't sleep inside. Anna just took over!
"That's comforting. But before we do that, we've solved a serious problem. Felicia, are you sure you're not going to live anywhere? Stella and Karen."
"As you know, royal school dormitories are forbidden to outsiders"
"Is that still the case? Ok. Then... come to my house until you decide where to live."
"Huh."
Second weird voice of the day.
Oh, I have to explain this. Misunderstood.
I know very well that being lazy in a place like this can make a big deal of difference later.
"Of course, you will ask both Dukes houses to provide you with a decent place to live right away. Just a few days in between. It would be painful to wake up in a man's room."
"Um, uh... ah, if you don't mind Allen... well, I don't mind..."
"Good. Then use it this evening. You'll be fine on your own, so let Karen stay in the meantime."
"... Huh? Isn't Allen with you?
"Felicia, as I was saying, you're a pretty woman, aren't you? You mustn't go to a room with a mushroom man. I'll wake up here."
"Or cute... I'm cute..."
Three times, my cheeks are dyed red.
Do boys at the Royal School have no eyes to see? Ask Stella, who is good at makeup even in the afternoon, for some thin makeup. She's cute enough now, but she's got to look different.
"I know you're asking, but Karen and the others will be here this afternoon to help. Try everything this summer with their help as well. Felicia?"
"Ha, ha! I'm going to do my best to cow the King's Capital business!!
Inside, you have a lot of ambition. Anyway, let's go step by step.
For now, that explains it to Tina and the others. Lydia... we will negotiate because she will hear some of my best. It's only 'to some extent', yeah.
