The Noble Girl Living in Debt

Bernard thinks what to do about Agnes. But it's hard to answer right now. It was too big a problem to have alone.

"-Captain"

"what?"

"I have a consultation."

Since he says with a serious face, Lazar suggests that you listen slowly after work.

"No, I want to think a little more, so I'd like to hear it at a later date."

"I see. I'll listen anytime."

"Thank you"

I knew that it was better to report early, but I thought it would be nice to consult with my feelings not being organized. Tell Lazar too.

"Don't worry. Listening in a confused state is no doubt, but it's up to you to decide in the end. You can think about the problem to some extent."

However, he was warned not to pack too much.

◇◇◇

The bell rings, Bernard goes home.

The sky is cloudy. There was wind, and black clouds were flowing rapidly. Looking up at the sky, it may be a matter of time before the rain starts.

I was walking fast to the carriage, but suddenly heavy rain began to fall.

If you get on the carriage in the rain, you will be seen by other passengers with white eyes. After several experiences in the past, Bernard decided to shelter under the shade of a closed bookstore.

The rain that had been a light rain gradually became a heavy rain.

Speaking of which, I remembered Jizil saying that it was better to have an umbrella.

In the morning, it was sunny with no clouds, so I didn't take it with me.

Bernard's mother soured her mouth to ask her to listen honestly, as she (Jizil) was all right. The words permeate now.

Fortunately, the rain of this season repeats suddenly falling and stopping. Will not descend for a long time. So I decided to wait in front of the bookstore if it would be clear soon.

As expected, the rain that has been gaining momentum is gradually falling.

With this momentum, it is possible to get on the carriage without getting too wet. I thought I should put my cloak over my head, and when I removed the top button, I could hear something singing from behind.

-Myaa, Myaa

It was a weak cat meow.

When I looked around where I heard it, there was a kitten in a box under an empty wheelbarrow. Until now, it had not been heard with loud rain.

If you squat down and look into your eyes, you will see eyes of a very skinny cat. She shook and shook asking for help.

The body is slightly dirty with mud, and the eyes are half-open, with the eyes being stuck together.

It turned out that the kitten was abandoned at a glance.

There is almost no traffic in the rain. The last few days have been very cold at night.

Bernard knew well what would happen to the kitten if he left it.

-Mya, Mya!

The kitten is desperately complaining. Hungry or cold, Bernard doesn't know.

It looked like a tight chest when I was watching.

The kitten had clear blue eyes. If you look closely, the fur is golden.

The front leg is hung on the box, and it is crying. It was very similar to Agnes clinging to Bernard last night.

Bernard holding his head in front of the kitten.

I thought that if I could not answer, I should follow the teachings of the knight.

Suddenly, the rain had stopped. A little sunset comes in from the sky.

"-Fucking !!"

Bernard wraps the box with the kitten in the mantle that was in his hand and stands up.

Then I ran to the carriage.

The kitten was quiet in the carriage. A cat who can read the air unexpectedly, Bernard is relieved.

By the time I got to my house, the area was completely dark. Head to the entrance with heavy steps.

Opening the door, Agnes was greeted.

"Welcome home, master"

"……Ah"

The expressions of Bernard and Agnes were dark.

I have something to say to each other, but I stare at each other without saying any words.

Agnes' moist blue eyes were the same as those of the kitten that was abandoned earlier.

It is difficult for Bernard to read the emotions that seep out there.

However, there were some points that were easy to understand.

Both kittens and Agnies are unwavering facts for Bernard as being "weak."

As a knight, the action he had to take was quite simple.

At the moment you notice, stomach stomach.

"Hey"

"Yes?"

Bernard takes out the box with the kitten from the mantle. I presented it to Agnes.

"From today, your job is to take care of kittens."

"!?"

"Ask Jizil what you don't understand, because I used to have a cat in the past."

"Oh, that, me, ha"

Press the kitten's box against Agnes looking up at Bernard.

She receives the box and gives her a tight hold on her chest.

"Hello, are you sure I want to be here?"

"Do whatever you want"

"Oh, thank you very much"

"However, there is only one condition."

"?"

"It was not in the contract-"

The additional conditions were surprising to Agnes.

It is a ban on going out of town. He was asked to ask Jizil if he needed anything.

"If you can't keep this--"

"Yes.No problem"

Agnes' answer was prompt. The eyes that had been moistened are shining all at once.

Bernard is stunned because he decides easily. I heard the sound of a kitten, Mya, and returned to me.

"If you break, you'll be fired immediately."

"Yes"

There are few lovers who come into this deep forest. If you don't get out of the house, you won't find it.

"Thank you, Master."

"That's okay, see your cat with Jizil."

"I understand"

Bowing and bowing, Agnes leaves the entrance. The last expression I showed was sunny.

Look back at the back with complicated feelings.

After dinner, Jizil reported about the kitten.

"Are you OK?"

"Yes, because we were weaned."

About a month after birth, he says he has grown teeth and is ready to eat baby food.

If I took care of it for a while, I was able to grow up without problems.

"Let him take care of the cat for a while."

"I understand"

I was asked what to do with the name, but I was not good at that, so I decided to leave the naming to Agnes.

Insist that you decide to hire Agnes officially.

I told her not to leak any information about her, no matter what she asked me.

"... I guess. The L'Averges are people in the world."

"I asked you."

"Yes, I'll tell my family well."

Finally, Bernard asks Jizil a question.

"If it's a story, one day suddenly the knight's position will be stripped off and dismissed from the house. What would you do if you were to be kicked out of the royal city?"

Jizil responds to the question. Round your eyes. However, it soon turned into a smile.

"So, let's open a shop in the countryside. How about a frontier restaurant," Kitten and Kokumatei "?"

"why"

"Allen uses the meat of the beast that his husband has harvested in the forest, and cooks. The vegetables are grown by Dominic. That's right! Let's leave the service to Eric. And give the customer a cake made by Celia. It's also nice to have a cute signboard girl .... Why wouldn't it seem fun to think about it? "

"I'm very positive."

"It's all about life, it's fun, but it's a short life, and pessimistic will hurt you."

What I was worried about became ridiculous and sighed.

Life can only be done. Pessimistic losses.

It resonated deeply with Bernard's heart.
