"For us to stay in this relationship... I have to be single."

"If you don't help me deal with my parents-"

"Did you expect to see me being forced to marry a magician from nowhere on the grounds of family?"

"You have to help me tell this lie!"

"..."

"Why do you still have that expression?"

"No." Ian coughed lightly.

"I just think... If it were before, you would definitely not say such things - you would put your family first."

"...That's not because of you."

Ophelia said with a blush.

"This weird thing happens every time... I can't go back!"

"But except for the first time, I never forced you, right?"

"I don't care, it's your problem."

"..."

Ian smiled.

"Row."

"If there is a chance, I will go to the Clock Tower with you."

"Then -" Ophelia's eyes raised slightly.

"That's all?"

"Hmm." The man nodded.

Obtaining the other party's consent simply made Ophelia more courageous.

"Now that it's all said and done... then Ian, please promise me one more thing."

"what's up?"

"that is--"

Ophelia looked at Ian in front of her.

"Can we always have this relationship?"

"..."

Ian was a little surprised at first, but quickly regained his composure.

"No."

"Why?" Ophelia was a little anxious, "It's just this mutual comfort relationship, I don't want anything else from you!"

"But -" Ian pretended to be innocent, "I think it's appropriate to add another friend?"

"..."

Ophelia was stunned for a moment, and then she understood - it meant that it was okay to maintain a relationship, but to keep a distance.

"You... are really annoying."

"Well, thanks for the compliment."

At this time, a radio began to play in the corridor of Chaldea.

That was Olga Marie's voice.

"Masters, I'm sorry to disturb you at this time."

"Please all gather in the conference hall within half an hour."

"I want to announce the results of the investigation into the helicopter incident."

176. Matthew’s Service/Ophelia’s Perfect Education/Survey Results (4k)

The director's broadcast made the two people who were bickering suddenly quiet down.

"It's actually the result of the investigation into the helicopter incident?"

Ophelia recited the information revealed on the radio.

"Director Chaldea's execution ability is really strong. He figured things out so quickly."

"Isn't this natural?" Ian didn't react much, "If you don't have this ability, how can you be a director?"

"……Right."

Ophelia did not argue.

"I change clothes."

"Later, let's hurry over."

"and many more."

Ian leaned close to Ophelia and whispered a few words softly.

After hearing his words, the magician's cheeks suddenly turned red.

"You...want me to go to that meeting like this?"

"is it not OK?"

"You're so nasty!"

Despite what she said, Ophelia still changed her clothes honestly as Ian asked.

The moment she tied the bow around her neck, she clutched her belly and glared at the man resentfully.

"You have so many bad tastes."

"Miss Ophelia, you too."

Ian smiled and held out his hand.

"Do you mind coming with me?"

"..."

Ophelia, who was still angry a moment ago, has become completely docile now.

She clearly knew that the other party was playing with her, but she felt willing to do so.

"……asshole."

She held his hand tightly.

have to say.

Although it was really shameful to come out like this, the feeling of being held by his hand was really relaxing.

Although she felt cold from time to time, Ophelia still accepted it all silently.

Just like this, they arrived near the entrance of the conference hall, and Ian suddenly pulled her into the aisle aside.

at this time--

Behind the top student magician were the Master candidates and Chaldean staff who entered the conference hall one after another.

But the man's eyes were on the black skirt she was wearing.

This kind of gaze made Ophelia feel bad immediately.

"What do you want to do?!"

The man didn't speak, but his eyes never left the skirt.

"..."

Ophelia's cheeks turned red little by little.

She seemed to realize what this man wanted to do - before going in, he wanted her to lift up her skirt for him to "appreciate" again.

"...Don't do this."

Ophelia took a few steps back.

"If I were discovered, I would be considered a strange person."

"..."

The man still didn't say anything, but looked at the magician in front of him silently.

Ophelia knew there was no way to avoid it.

Her hand moved closer to where the man's gaze was focused.

A clatter.

The magician with his back to the crowd closed his eyes and turned away - the raised skirt is the key to unlocking the veil of the garden.

This is a situation where if you are not careful, you may be regarded as a weirdo by others.

But what she heard in her uneasiness was...

"Pfft."

Is he laughing?

Ophelia opened her eyes and found that Ian was indeed smiling.

Immediately, her face turned red and she let go of her skirt.

"What are you laughing at!"

"Nothing." Ian looked at Ophelia, who was extremely ashamed just now, with a smile.

"I just didn't expect you to actually do these things yourself."

"Why do you mean I took the initiative to do this?" Ophelia was a little anxious, "Isn't it because you thought so that I did this?"

"Huh?" Ian raised his eyebrows.

"My Miss Ophelia, if you think about it again, is this really what happened?"

"..."

Ophelia recalled carefully and suddenly discovered a terrible fact.

and many more!

He clearly didn't say anything, but simply looked at himself.

Why do I think of so many things for no reason?

and--

I really took the initiative to do all these things, and even hoped to be praised.

When did I become like this...

"It seems that Miss Ophelia has reached a very interesting state."

Ian looked at the magician in front of him with interest.

"So--"

"This Sunday, let's try something more interesting outside the room."

"Now, we have to have a good meeting."

"see you then."

After saying this, Ian walked past Ophelia.

The magician turned around and looked at the man blending into the crowd, and his heart actually started to throb.

Is it outside the room this time?

Shouldn't it be outside...
