The Noble Girl Living in Debt

It has been half a year since I left Agnès.

During that time, letters were frequently exchanged.

Agnes is helping Bernard's grandfather Calvin work, and he writes in a letter that he has a busy day.

Surprisingly, she did not write any sweet words, such as "I want to see you", and acknowledged the plain content of the report.

Hello, Agnes was spending a fulfilling day there, and Bernard was worried that she wouldn't want to return here.

She sent a status report to her grandfather, her mother, and Agnes, and her grandfather was quick to reply.

But it was not a letter but a big box. Among them are a ballroom invitation, a letter, and a costume.

The invitation was written as "Invitation to a costume party". When I opened the folded invitation, it was written as a dress designation (dress code).

In the letter from Calvin, there is a night party in the harbor town, so please tell us to participate and can you find treasures at the venue? The challenging word was written.

Don't know what the treasure is and tilt your head.

When you open the box, you will see a black mask covering the eyes, a golden wig, and a gorgeous formal dress, like a noblewoman from a time ago.

"What is this?"

I muttered myself.

The costume party will be held one month later. I think that I can apply for a holiday from now on.

It was just when the inside of the Knights was calm down, so I thought it was a good time to pick up Agnes.

I decided to apply for a holiday immediately.

◇◇◇

Bernard is currently affiliated with an educational institution that trains knight instructors.

Leading in classroom, sometimes learning self-defense techniques.

It was said that the age group was relatively high, around forty.

In order to become an instructor, a letter of recommendation from a senior management is required, and personality is given priority as a person who teaches youth.

It was the first time in a long history that a young man like Bernard was selected.

The instructors who knew the truth of the incident that took place in the Knights and the knights who became peers welcomed me with a warm attitude.

Thanks to this, Bernard, who has been in his fifth month of enlistment, has been evaluated highly for his achievements in an environment where he can concentrate on his studies.

If I offered my vacation to my superior, I was beaten my shoulder to enjoy it a lot.

If you are grateful for the newcomers, but thankfully for taking the vacation request, you will be taught that educators should be able to relax – that is, they need a day off.

A total of six holidays, four days for a round trip and two days for a stay, are allowed.

Tell your former boss, Lazar, that you will go to the port area.

Currently, there was no involvement at work, but there were several times a month going out to drink or go to a meal.

If you tell Agnès that you'll be seeing him for a long time, it's a good opportunity, and Lazar arranges to return what was at hand with Bernard.

one month later.

Bernard leaves the royal city for the first time in six months.

Because my grandfather had a ticket for a luxury cruise liner, I would have to spend a reasonable amount of time traveling.

However, unlike when I used to spend time with my family, I was alone and enjoyed loneliness.

I didn't play on board for two days, so I just worked hard with the reference books I had brought in with one hand.

And I thought I could finally meet Agnès, but only my mother and Jizil came to pick me up, and I almost fell off my knees.

"Bernard, you knew that Agnes wasn't here right now, obviously disappointed?"

"No, I'm at fault, my mother."

"You don't have to hide it."

I heard that inspired by my grandfather Calvin, Agnes was informed that Bernard was looking for a costume party.

The treasure in the letter was Agnes.

"At all, Dad did something he couldn't understand ... I wish Agnes had always wanted to meet Bernard."

"That's right."

"Yes"

Just because I didn't write to the letter, Agnes could learn that she had always wanted to meet Bernard. The mist of my heart gets a little sunny.

"Now!"

In a word that his mother's spirit entered, Bernard, who was indulging in thought, shook his shoulders with Bikri.

Oceanne's eyes were burning hot.

"Bernard, your hair is a bit too long."

"What so?"

I was told and noticed. Until now, I went to haircut once a month. In retrospect, I haven't been cutting hair in the last five months.

"And then we have to do something with the shade under our eyes."

"No, this won't help."

"It's a special night party"

"Don't worry because you'll be wearing a mask"

"Maybe at the venue, but Agnes who looks at her face will be worried."

"Well, well ..."

"Because I know a good beautician, let's go to the treatment now."

"Oh, that's where women go?"

"Men are coming too recently."

"No, I'm fine--cho, wait"

Bernal was taken away by her mother, without saying.

And the night we greeted.

Bernard, who had a full course of unfamiliar facial treatment, was loose.

He looks back on the horrible eyes of the assault received by Blondel.

I was forced to put on my gorgeous formalwear that my grandfather had thought, “This is a little ...” The eyes are covered with a mask, so I think that the appearance is somewhat misleading.

When you reflected your whole body in a mirror, you looked completely different from your usual self.

The dress specification (dress code) was well protected.

But Agnes wouldn't notice this, and she wouldn't be able to find her if she changed her hair color and hid her eyes.

I decided to challenge the evening party while feeling depressed.

◇◇◇

The costume party is held at a social hall owned by Calvin's firm.

The venue was crowded with many people in disguise.

As expected, men and women wear masks in similar formalwear, so it is not clear who is who.

Everyone was dancing, eating and talking happily.

I hear that most people interact without knowing the other person.

If you complained to Jizil who was at the side of what was going on, they replied that a fancy party was like that.

"It's fun because I don't know the other person's status."

"It's an annoying event for me to find Agnes."

"That's sorry ..."

She gazed at me at a glance because she spoke something else.

At the same time, seeing Jizil wearing a mask on a dark blue dress, she looks at her, wondering, "What are you doing?"

"I'm just an invited guest. Oh, my person."

Jizil left her husband, Dominique, in a delightful manner.

Then, Bernard is left alone on the spot.

I had to search for Agnies in the crowd and sighed big.

Every eyes looked the same, but every woman looked the same.

The only clue that remains is to check the exposed part below the nose.

I checked the mouth of a passing woman, but it seemed difficult to make a judgment by itself.

It is difficult to judge only the appearance because it is painted with lipstick. However, I felt that she could be distinguished as Agnès by the softness and elasticity of her lips. You will be amazed at your thoughts and what you are thinking.

Bernard looked at the woman's lips and gave up looking for Agnes.

Revive your memory to see if there were any other characteristics.

I remembered that there was only one thing that could be identified as Agnes.

That is-mole on the chest.

Everybody wears a dress whose chest is boldly opened. I thought that if you had a similar design, you could see moles.

... No, no. You should stop it.

The reason I gave up immediately was that if I looked at the woman's chest and walked, she would definitely be treated as a suspicious individual.

Over time, congestion in the venue will increase.

It was difficult to move, and Bernard was frustrated.

When Agnes calls out to a stranger somewhere and thinks she is in trouble, she feels at ease.

I have no choice but to call my name anymore-I thought so momentarily, I felt a softer shock from behind.

Someone is hugging Bernard's back.

Take your hand around your waist.

Only one owner with a white fingertip wearing a sapphire ring knows it.

As soon as the opponent left, Bernard immediately looked back.

There stood a beautiful woman with straight black hair hanging down, tying a butterfly mask and drawing mole on her mouth.

Wearing a purple dress that fits perfectly with the body line. Her appearance was so lustrous that she couldn't seem to be the same person as her usual neat and clean.

"Anies?"

"Yes"

Because it is visible only to another person, check it just in case. No doubt at Agnes.

"I understand you well."

"I'm sure Bernard looks at him when he stands."

"It's amazing"

After exchanging words lightly, it's time to pass while staring at each other.

Bernard seemed to be a woman unknown to Agnes in front of her, and she was restless.

I want to undress and talk slowly.

Suggested to go to the inn, Agnes took out one envelope.

The address was Bernard and the sender was Calvin. Under the address, it is written to open in the venue.

Moved to a place with few people and opened the letter.

Inside, there is a key to the accommodation facility on the top floor of the social hall, and a sentence from Calvin saying .

"It seems they have a place to rest on top."

"It looks like"

"Did you hear?"

"Yes, I heard you."

"Well then, would you be willing to say something?"

When he arrives at the prepared room, Bernard loosens his tie around his neck, takes his wig and throws it on the chaise lounge.

Scratched the hair that had been stroked and returned to its original state.

Bernard felt uncomfortable about the luxurious room, and took off his jacket and sat down on the edge of the large bay window.

And I was dimly watching the night view of the port city.

After a while, Agnies returns.

However, Bernard is astounded by the appearance.

"--Hey!"

"Yes?"

"Why is the clothes as they are!"

"Well, there seems to be no change of clothes."

Looking at Agnies who came, he held his head unintentionally.

Agnies was a normal girl at first glance. The gold hair is loosely braided and shows a refined appearance.

However, he wore a dress with a high degree of exposure and worried about where to look.

"A little coming"

Bernard calls Agnes nearby.

If you reach your hand and reach the distance you touched, I put on my jacket over my shoulder.

"Oh, thank you, thank you.-"

Bernard pulls the body of Agnès bowing to thank him, and gently embraces him.

While enjoying the soft hugs and sweet scent you feel after a long time, she whispered softly in her ear.

"I've always wanted to see you."

"!"

Agnès gasps when he hears something unusual for Bernard.

Then, the words muttered in a voice that seemed to disappear like "I am also" were blocked by my lips without saying it to the end.

The two reunions, separated from each other, were filled with sweet moments.
