The Unbound World’s “Normal” is Difficult

24. "Normal" insect control (1)

The next morning, Elma and the others came out to the cafeteria for breakfast, and there was Deborah and Kevin and their servants.

As a guest, although the main cafeteria serves daily meals, in fact, the family of this mansion only sat down for dinner on the first day.

Even then, Lord Jonas remained silent, and Deborah suddenly sold her charm to Lucas, leaving just to say hello to Kevin because she couldn't eat.

This is the first time I've ever had a face to face with morning Lucas and the irregular Frenzel family since, because the rhythm of life didn't match.

Looking at Lucas and Irene, who were a little surprised, Frenzel's sister and brother stood up and shouted at Elma.

"You're in a good mood, Your Majesty the King, Your Excellency Elaine, and Your Excellency Elma!

"How about that, Your Highness, Irene, and Elma!

As a courtesy, I called Lucas and Irene first in order of identity, but the heat and volume of my gaze completely betrayed the manners.

Elma looked as if she had pulled it slightly, but without thinking of it, they rushed in.

"Ahh......! Somewhere without a heart, like a razor! Were you asleep without dinner? Because of this, my cheek line became sharper than yesterday's noon by about three hairs....! It's so sweet...!

"Could the doctor who arranged it have been helpful? I think my skills are good, but yesterday I was so upset by your beauty, it seems that I left without reporting to me after the medical examination, and how much trouble did I have?!...... No, that's fine, if you're even feeling better!

Apparently, they were both deeply worried, angry, and exhausted.

"I think I've reported it to His Highness, so it's still good....."

Kevin was still mumbling and complaining about how sorry he was for his trouble, but Elma responded calmly.

"I'm sorry I suddenly fell down yesterday. As long as you are ashamed of the smell of herbs and flowers. But thanks to you, I was able to sleep well and had a very good dream, so I cleaned up vigorously in the morning."

"Nh, no, Elma, I can't believe it's cleaning!

"Well, if it's cleaning, I should just throw a fire at that damn clover field and clean it up right now!

"I told you, Kevin!

The mean sister and the arrogant younger brother have now become nothing but pure fanatics.

To the falsehood of the two believers, Elma pulled her chin slightly.

"I appreciate your feelings, but cleaning is the normal job of a maid, and it is dry at this time and can easily cause a wildfire, so could you please stop?"

and calmly added water.

"I'm so glad... that Elma is wearing a normal sensitivity that will stop that runaway sister brother..."

"Don't be fooled, Irene. I don't think he has any particular doubts about Kevin's sudden inclination to declare the destruction of the ecosystem."

Lukas calmly pointed out when Irene whispered.

In fact, Elma was not surprised that the person she was dealing with suddenly enslaved herself, or that the person she was enslaved would dedicate her country, land, or nature to herself.

It is the influence of a mother's teachings.

That's why Elma listened briefly to Kevin's disturbing remarks and proceeded with the conversation.

"Well, rather than that, I'd like to head back to the swamp again today. I also have a few concerns about the moths I caught yesterday."

For her part, she wanted to get back to the investigation that she was late for because she fell, rather than being worried about herself.

However, when Elma blurred to let Kevin know about the investigation, the Kevins blocked it.

That's what I'm talking about.

"Actually, there's something we think about."

The two of you snuggle your breath as if they were connecting phrases.

As a result of Kevin's sudden injuries over the course of the day, he became a nasty boy with tiny eyes, and now Deborah and Kevin are nothing but beautiful and bullying sisters and brothers.

Deborah, who had changed character to a purist girl, gently combined her hands to look up at Elma.

"First of all, please forgive me, Elma and all of you. This Deborah, my current brother, was foolish enough not to go around listening to you, so I shared with Elma what I had just heard about Kurakusha."

"In fact, I know that the fact that your territory is in such a state that you are worried about your Majesty is a matter for a lot of self-reflection, and it is a mistake to be against the Royal Family. So don't worry about that. I would also like to apologize for any violent remarks you may have made against His Highness and Mr. Irene."

When Deborah urged him, Kevin also focused on Lucas, telling him clearly.

Even as a young man, his sense of responsibility and temperament seeped into it, and after only one day of his growth, Lucas turned his eyes inside out.

"... I see." [incomprehensible] "

"What a waste of words."

The apologetic Irene, surprised at Kevin's leopard behavior, slammed her gavel in horror.

Then the Frenzel sister and brother nodded lightly and lowered the servants, and Deborah cut out the story.

"Besides, I have a suggestion. I was talking to my younger brother, and I wanted to ask Jonas, our father, about this."

"On your own?

"Yes. As Kevin said, it is shameful that His Majesty's heart is so distracted. If it is because of our behavior, we should change it immediately, and if it is because of my father's malfeasance, I think we should question the situation and stop it."

Deborah was serious.

In the colored eyes of the earth was a light of unwavering will worthy of the daughter of the lord.

Next to him, Kevin is holding his fist.

He told him that he was ready to wet his lips once.

"Honestly, I don't know if it's my father's nature or my thoughts... or if I'm really trying to get my mother back, or if I'm trying to make a deal with the devil. We haven't even had a satisfactory conversation about what he's thinking and what he's alive for..."

Kevin's known father is a man who drives his sick son into the depths of the Mansion as if he were ashamed, and closes himself to his room without communicating with his surroundings.

For a long time, Kevin thought it was because he had taken Eliza, his mother.

Hate it.

However, according to Deborah, his father Jonas may have deliberately kept the demon worm, the enemy of Deborah, in the pond of the house.

It is strange to even try to harm a daughter who should have nothing to do with her wife's death.

Or is it that you want a wife so much that you don't hate people, but you just don't care about children?

Kevin had no idea what he was thinking.

"The truth is, I should have stepped into my father's darkness sooner. But I couldn't.... my sins - I was afraid I'd find out again that my mother died because of me."

With his eyes down, he murmured, putting his hand on his arm, as Deborah encouraged.

Kevin squeezed the ring down from his chest again today and raised his gaze again.

"That's why I think this is our last chance. We want to understand our father properly. And I want to choose the right behavior as a family of lords. So why don't you let us talk to my father?

"Of course, we will take care not to conceal or fabricate our father's claims. My father is sure to be here soon for breakfast, so in the meantime, I want you to lurk somewhere and listen to our conversation directly. That won't interfere with the investigation, will it?

As Deborah put it, rather, Lucas frowned in confusion.

"But then we're going to hear about the family's very personal circumstances. Is that okay with you?

"Yes"

"Yeah."

Kevin and Deborah were not lost in their eyes.

"There is no shame in the process of telling the truth. It is the role of those who bind the territory not to hide, to ascertain the truth, and to know. Please leave it to me."

If you say so, Lucas can't say no.

He nodded to make sure that quick thinking and their voluntary interview with the lord would not run counter to the king's order to "reveal the circumstances so that the royal family would not be dissatisfied."

"Okay. Well, don't hesitate to ask."

Then, look around.

"But I have to think of a place to lurk. After all, my size is huge, and when I hide for a long time, it's not like a pot or armor..."

Ah, about that.

At that time, Elma, who was listening in silence, pushed up the bridge of the glasses and pushed the frame of the painting hanging on the wall.

When you rotate the hidden little lever with the momentum to see the afterimage, the wall moves with a squeaking noise.

A secret space immediately appeared in front of Lucas and the others.

"I thought that might happen, but I just cleaned the hidden room I found next to the cafeteria."

"What were you expecting!?

"I feel a little uncomfortable sitting on my seat, so I am sorry for my discretion, but I have prepared some sweets such as sofas, wine, and nuts."

"Comfortable! Don't reveal the hidden rooms of other people's mansions! Don't clean it! Don't make me uncomfortable!

Lucas no longer has a technique other than to penetrate Elma's work, which is too exhausting.

The Frenzel brothers, who were supposed to have been tampered with and adapted to the structural confidentiality of the estate,

"That's right, Elma...."

"I love nuts too...."

I just blushed my cheeks for some reason.

"Um..."

Irene, who happened to be pointing in the direction of the door, raised her hand as if she had noticed something.

"I think the footsteps are approaching us."

She was making her face twitch a little.

"In a timely fashion, isn't it Yona-sama?

"Yes, you can see the footsteps of Jonas and the Servant, both in speed and tone."

"If you're commenting on it!

As Lucas drank quickly into the nodding Elma, holding them by the side, he pushed them into the small room.

"I'm sorry, but let me use it!

So Jonas came to the cafeteria at the same time as he carefully and quickly closed the hidden door.
