The Noble Girl Living in Debt

Episode 20: Fou Rose

Bernard called Jizil in my room saying she had a story.

The air in the office is tight.

"--So my husband, what is the story?"

"I know you!"

I was shouting unexpectedly at high emotion, but Jizil wasn't moving at all. Bernard thinks that his attitude is not interesting either.

"Blurred"

"Maybe it's Agnes?"

"I guess it's the only thing, isn't it different?"

This time, we introduce our fiance and Bernard's mother, Oceane, returned to his territory with peace of mind. It should have been such an operation.

Nevertheless, the development proceeds diagonally upward.

Oceanne loved Agnes and started taking care of her bridesmaids. Complains to Jizil that the story will be too leap.

"I was surprised at that, too."

"What is that?"

"My wife is a cautious person, so I didn't think I would like Agnès so early."

"What's that ..."

Bernard puts his elbow at the office desk and holds his head.

Looking at the situation, Jizil makes a statement.

"My husband, how about getting married to Agnes?"

"What?"

"Rather, I think it suits me."

"Who and who?"

"My husband and Agnes."

"why!?"

"Somehow"

"Somehow it's not the answer!"

Jizil tilts her head and thinks about why they feel good.

"Yes. First of all, my husband is impatient, but Agnes is easy. I think that the opposite is better."

"Well, that's a theory."

"Same for me and my husband"

He turned his doubts on Jizil's opinion, but seems to be convinced that he could give an example.

"Before the compatibility, if you decide without permission, it will be annoying."

"Yes, the most important thing is the feelings of each other. If your wife is serious about trying to get married, I will lend you wisdom."

"It's wrong with wisdom."

"Either way. What your husband wants."

Bernard sighed deeply and lowered Jizil.

◇◇◇

I was asked if there was anything that could kill time than my mother, Oceane, but Bernard's house had little entertainment.

All you can find in the study are memoirs and adventure novels from a senior knight.

There was no kind of good old board game such as kingdom board or black and white piece.

The board game you own is not something you can put out in front of your mother, such as a bandit robbing a treasure or a monster attacking a royal city.

Oceanne had been talking all the time, but he had too much time for Agnes to take a bath.

"But, by the way, this house was quite old."

"It's 100 years old."

"Well, is that so?"

Replacement of roof tiles ended yesterday. Next was an attic repair, which he had requested after his stay in Oceane.

"Speaking of that, the color of the outer wall seems a little yellowish."

"..."

"When did you repaint?"

"When was it?"

As a matter of fact, I have never painted a house since I received it from my father. My father told me to repaint once every five years, but a few years passed in a flash as I was busy.

Dominic cares about the walls of the house, but I think it is better to paint the walls soon.

"Bernard, you, wrinkles between your eyebrows, what's going on?"

"House……"

I was thinking about the money needed to repaint the wall, and I was hurting my head, but I can't say that to my mother.

I didn't think I was thinking about tomorrow's work.

I thought the story was over, but that wasn't the only pursuit of my mother.

"Speaking of which, how much money do you save for marriage?"

"Kekkon, Shikin?"

"Yes, at least-"

Bernard opens his eyes to the amount given by his mother.

Breakdowns include the cost of issuing a marriage certificate, bride and groom's dress, wedding reception, honeymoon, and much more.

Informed of the shock, Bernard became less motivated to marry.

◇◇◇

After dinner, Bernard called Agnes through Jizil. Of course, I swear to God that I will not do anything in the room alone.

Surprisingly, Jizil forgave me.

Tell Agnies, who is sitting opposite, that he will have a day's reflection today.

"--It ended without any trouble."

"It was good"

However, he tells us that he has gone so well that it has been a serious development.

"But the problem is that my mother is quite reluctant to do this marriage."

"I found it like that."

"... Well, somehow, I'll do it."

"Yes"

I told you to have a reflection meeting, but it was not much different from what I talked about during the day.

Bernard coughs out and apologizes.

"I'm sorry."

"e?"

"I ask for such a thing with a light feeling."

Agnes says it's ridiculous and shakes her head.

"Oceanne is very kind and I remembered my mother a bit."

"Really"

"So it's going to be a wonderful memory"

The expression of Agnes who made such a statement is very radiant, and there is no fragment of the gloomy dark atmosphere that I showed when I met again.

Bernard thought that the lively servant family had healed her heart.

At the same time, I realized that I had to reflect on myself.

Agnes talks to her if she tries to return to the room.

"that"

"Hmm?"

"I'm talking to Oceane today and embroidered a handkerchief."

Agnies took out the handkerchief from his pocket and spread it out.

Ivy pattern is stabbed there.

On his first look, Bernard turned his suspicious gaze at the handkerchief.

"what's this?"

"It seems to be a lucky charm of the Merlan tree."

Agnes, who was trying to explain the Merlan tree, suddenly noticed Bernard's incident approaching her handkerchief at the desk.

When I looked closely, it turned from doubt to conviction.

"Um, the neck is red."

"Hmm?"

Touch what Agnes was pointing with her finger. Then he was a little swollen.

"Is it an insect bite?"

"I guess. I helped Dominique in the morning, so maybe I was stabbed at that time."

"Let's bring an insect bite medicine?"

"No, if you let go, it will be cured."

"Are you hurt?"

"If you say it, it's painful."

"I'll bring you."

Agnies went to the servant's rest area, received a medicine box from Jizil, and returned.

"excuse me"

That's right, Agnes sits next to Bernard.

The medicine box was packed with medicine bottles and boxes.

Look for the insect bite medicine bottle, pick it up, and scoop out the ointment with your fingertips. When Bernard saw it, he waited.

"No, I paint myself ..."

"I have already taken my medicine."

"... Oh, oh, then ask."

I didn't think when I was talking face to face, but when I sit side by side like this, I become strangely conscious.

Immediately give the reason that a sweet scent is nearby. It made me feel restless.

To avoid seeing Agnes, my gaze turned in a different direction.

If you are desperate not to be conscious, a cold and cold thing touches your neck.

I was surprised and shook my shoulders.

I noticed something cold as an insect bite medicine because I heard Agnes's question, "Do you hurt?" Shake your head immediately.

The voice was too close, so looking sideways, there was an Agniess's face in the immediate vicinity, so it seems to be raising his voice.

Bernard knew that his eyes were so bad that he was close enough to see.

But, I feel like I'm restless.

You can get out of this troubled situation if you get angry like “Here!” As before, but now she was kindly applying medicine.

Just because I was ashamed, I couldn't shout.

Agnes applied meticulously and carefully even though she was trying to endure for a while.

The sensation of slowly crawling his fingertips was beyond words for him.

"... still?"

"I'm sorry, well, I can't see it."

You can see the sweat on the forehead.

The fist on the knee was also clenched more than necessary.

"finished"

"……Ah"

At the moment, Bernard leans on the chaise longue.

"Is it going to heal quickly if applied three times a day?"

"Do you get it"

"If you like it, why not apply it again?"

"e?"

"Because it is a part that is difficult to apply, I am-"

"Good, do it yourself!"

I grabbed the medicine as if I was taking it out of my hand and shouted.

Agnes was blinking her eyes, but soon she apologized for being sad, with a sad face.

Then, after leaving the room, he leaves the room after the bow.

Having done it at the very end, Bernard remorseed and realized that she needed glasses.
