The Unbound World’s “Normal” is Difficult

25. "Normal" insect control (2)

Jonas, who arrived with his usual gloomy expression, first glanced lightly at the fact that there were other people in the dining room - his daughter and son - and then shook his shoulders slightly when he put Deborah's figure into full view.

――――

"Good morning. Before I ask, I'm Brandon Deborah, your daughter who recently succeeded in dieting."

When Deborah said calmly, Jonas stared back seriously, but he nodded with a calm gesture as to whether it was still the lord's penetration.

"... I see."

Then, add the gloss.

"I was surprised because it suddenly became beautiful. You look just like Eliza."

I'm appalled by the dramatic change, but I don't feel attracted to my wife more than I need to.

Deborah and Kevin quickly looked at each other with confusion as to whether this was the behavior of a man who "dyed his magic hands in the hope of his wife's soul".

"... Father"

After a short tour, Kevin cut it out. Looks like you decided to step in on him this time.

Kevin pretended to be casual and told him to take the cutlery and pretend to butter the bread.

"It was one of the maids who accompanied His Highness, Elma... who transformed my sister like this. She was very competent, and in addition to the beauty work she had done for her sister in the past few days, she also used various techniques of making the King's Landing to help her work in the Mansion."

For example, and Kevin leaves it for a little while.

"A starchy pond in the backyard. I wonder if the monsters that were gushing there stripped me clean."

――…………

This had a clearer reaction than earlier.

"... what?

"That's why I'm a pond monster. Did you know? The algae that were gushing there weren't just algae, they were insects, and they were carefree - that is, monsters. Even though there is a sister in my house who is weak, this is a rare situation. I'm really glad you handled all of them - right?

…………

Yonas' strict face stretched slightly.

It looks upset and frustrating.

Lucas, who was watching the exchange through a small hole in the wall of the hidden room and through the pupils of the portrait hanging on the camouflage, leaked quietly while still sticking to the wall.

"Damn, I can't even read that fine expression from this hole."

"Wouldn't Elma be able to read the facial expressions?

Then Irene, who was also sticking to the wall and peeking through a hole corresponding to the ring of the portrait, made a suggestion.

Lucas nodded.

"Elma, can you read the Lord's facial expression?

I kept my gaze fixed in the cafeteria and asked, but there was no reply.

"Elma?"

Suspiciously, he turned his back and Lucas and the others suddenly burst into tears.

"... what are you doing?"

"It's a knit."

Just in the corner of the hidden room, between the sofa and the side board, Elma finished the lace knitting with a luxury that was not commensurate with her standing position.

Every time she moves her arms and fingertips, the yarn roars and the design appears.

Both names accidentally entered a delicate and beautiful race formed by the momentum of fury.

"Why are you knitting in this situation? You!

"I heard that it is' normal 'for women to knit and crush time during waiting times, etc. The thread I just took from the moth cocoon in the morning was of much higher quality than I expected."

"This isn't waiting time! Rather, it's a place of truth! I mean, after all, you really boiled the moth larvae!?

"The voice sounds quiet. Oops, it looks like we're getting close to a conversation."

The result is a calm penetration.

Lucas and the others rushed to the wall again, embracing the awkwardness of being halfway sealed from screaming.

In the cafeteria, Kevin began to raise his voice in the tight air.

"- Why are you making a face like that? Aren't you glad, Father? Isn't it? The devil is a natural enemy of Frenzel territory. Kill them as soon as you find them, and be happy to be lucky when you find the carcass. Isn't that what it is?"

"Kevin, I'm not-"

"Or is there something unhappy about it? Could Father explain the reason for such suspicious behavior by treating the algae and moths with a temper as if they were trying to keep them instead of exterminating them!?

At last, Kevin stepped in with great momentum.

"You think they didn't notice!? Damn it! Father's actions are causing great anxiety to our people. Are you drawing the moths towards the swamp behind the forest at night? Is it your father who allowed the devil to exist in the Mansion's pond? What the hell is this about? Why are you doing such a horrible thing!

"Kevin..."

"It is rumored that my father is dyeing his magic hands and devoting his sacred vineyards to the devil to regain his mother's soul. Is that so? Is that what this is about? Do you love your mother so much!?

I heard you hate me so much for spitting blood. [M]

Deborah watches over her brother, whose emotions have won too much.

But Jonas told her sooner than she said a word that would be water.

― ― Am I going to get rid of my role as lord? Don't let the rumors swing you around. Everything will work out for me. You just have to believe in your father and wait. "

It's more a line to keep your son away than to undertake the whole thing.

As expected, Kevin became more and more rough in tone.

"You haven't answered my question at all! Is it true that my father owns a magic moth in the swamp, and if so, why, I'm asking! Why won't you answer me!?

So...

"Can't you trust me so much!?

Kevin screams without putting his hair in.

Rather than screaming angrily, it's a bloody scream.

That was what had tortured Kevin for so long, rather than anger at his father, who might have fallen into magic.

"Kevin..."

"You're always locked up in your room! They don't look at me or my sister! With the excuse that I tend to be sick, I drive deep into the mansion, and do not teach the lord's work or mind, nor even communicate, nor reveal my heart. Is that because you don't think I deserve to be the next lord?

"What..."

"By that time, am I your unreliable son!?

At last he shook his voice and shouted, and Jonas exclaimed.

Deborah also looked at her brother with her eyes open.

She never thought her brash brother would suffer so much.

However, her loss to being sick - the appearance of poison from the complex in her body - was felt very much by herself, and she narrowed her eyes in pain.

"Kevin...."

Jonas returns to me with a shy murmur from Deborah.

He said something to his son, but soon he pulled his mouth and shook his head.

"... I've never thought of you as an untouchable child. That's true. I didn't tell you about the moth because I didn't believe you. Please believe me."

"Believe me, I still can't tell you what happened?

"... I don't disgrace the Lord's ring. I want to protect the sacred vineyards from the damage of moths - is there a lie or a lie in that feeling? I want you to believe me."

His sister and brother looked at each other silently as he chooses to speak with the sound of a slaughter.

I do not deny that it attracted the moth. However, there is no falsehood in your desire to protect your territory.

It's not that I don't trust Kevin and the others. But I can't tell you what's going on.

It's too vague, too contradictory.

Deborah bites her lips and thinks about where she steps in on behalf of her brother.

But she didn't finally open her mouth.

It's not because I gave up pursuit.

- Bang!

"Milord!

Because the servants who should have let him down jumped into the cafeteria with a pale blue face.

They opened the door with a momentum that struck them, and quickly complained to Jonas about their plight.

"Thank you very much! I found a lot of eggs of moths in the field and made a fuss....! The people of the area are coming to petition for permission to set the fields on fire!

What the-!?
