Seiju no Kuni no Kinju Tsukai

Episode 44: Let Me See

"Mr. Makina, do you have something to do with the library?

"I'm here to see Clarice. Well... if you're still here, I think it's okay for the three of us to talk."

Mr. Makina flies her gaze at the two people she was confronting.

"Looks like Crohiko was the only purpose for you two."

Currier and Cecily show a little confusion.

To those two, Mr. Machina turned a gentle grin.

"But... you guys have to say you're at a low level"

"Low level...?

Mr Cecily asks in surprise.

"What the hell does that mean?

Heh heh, and Mr. Machina snapping up his own hair with both hands.

"Earlier exchanges, let me hear it"

Hmm?

I learned to catch on to my current words.

Mr. Makina seemed to have appeared like something like 'I just happened to be here'.

But what I'm saying now, it's as if I was listening to an exchange between Mr. Currier and Mr. Cecily...

And that means...

"Did the school director also hide behind the pillars?

"Absolutely."

"Also, of course?

"Yes."

Plenty of responses until it's clear, such as not being willing to excuse yourself.

If they give it back to me like that... I can't say anything more.

It seems that both Currier and Cecily are thinking about what words to utter to the school director.

With a clear face, Mr Makina said.

"You two seem to want to draw Crohiko's attention toward yourselves."

So Mr. Currier tried to say something.

but they didn't get the word out and it gets stuck all the time.

Mr. Makina continued, smiling like she had understood.

"If you think you can use disparaging remarks to distract people of the opposite sex - I must say, it's a big mistake."

Make yourself stronger with each other somehow, Mr. Currier and Mr. Cecily.

The look on their faces is exactly, like, muggy.

Mr. Machina pointed to the space between them as frightening.

"Not to mention exposing yourself in front of the opposite sex trying to distract you from that look - out of the question!

The school bell rang at the same time Mr. Makina said off.

In the evening, the sound of a bell rings in the school.

When the bell was over, the school director lowered his hand.

"... okay? If you want to draw the attention of the opposite sex, increase your worth, not denigrate each other. Not as much as you can imagine what Crohiko would think of that as you haven't hidden your opposition to each other earlier?

Mr. Currier and Mr. Cecily crossed their gaze with Hikaru.

Keep your voice down and Mr. Currier calls on Mr. Cecily.

"Hey, Archrite's daughter"

"... how do you call that, can you handle it?

"... arklight"

"What is it, Verstein?

"That schoolmaster... who is he?

"I am the daughter of the Renowsphere family, with a court magician in my father."

"That's not what I'm talking about. What does that have to do with Crohiko?

"Oh, is that what you mean? … I hear it was the school director who first saw that Crohiko was a curseless man and called him to this school."

Mr. Currier peeks at the school director on the side.

"I see... hun, thank you"

"... Phew"

"What?

Mr. Cecily smiled lightly at Mr. Currier.

"Quickly, is that a practice?

"Hmm? What?

Mr. Currier, who will be decent.

"Ugh."

Mr. Cecily, shit! solidified in winds such as

"What does' practice 'mean now?

"Hey, it's nothing... you're welcome!

Ah, and Cecily, who crimsons her face.

Mr. Currier frowns in surprise.

…………

I mean, I seem to be lurking my voice, and I can hear the whole conversation...

and Mr. Makina opened his mouth as if he had anticipated the timing there.

"Don't be antagonistic, I'm not saying. But wouldn't it be a lot of trouble if you were just devoting your efforts to losing the person at the heart?

The point is... get along, right?

Yeah.

I want you two to get along even with me.

So...

"Hmm?"

Is Mr. Makina inviting me?

I walked over to Mr. Makina, paying attention to the two unfloating faces.

But even if I came to see you, Mr. Makina's invitation never ended.

On the contrary, he seems somewhat dissatisfied.

…………

Oh, you mean that.

I lowered my posture.

Nice, nodding, Mr. Machina.

I put my hands on my mouth like I was talking hisso, and she whispered in my ear.

"Cecily Arklite is the daughter of the prestigious Arklite family. Then I checked the test results on that kid named Currier, and the genius of the sacrament alone is pretty good.... most importantly, she's your partner in the offensive squad, right?

"Yeah, that's right."

"So even if you think about the future, you should do well with those two. You should have more good allies."

"I see..."

Return your gaze from the two of you watching this one as much as you want, plus Mr. Makina punches you in the ear.

"That's why, well... good luck. I was going to give you some help, but in the end, it's up to you."

"... Yes"

What do you care about the schoolmaster's exhalation in his ear?

"And I'll hear from Clarice about the information you got today and figure it out.... well, don't worry about me, and then somehow get through this"

And when he slapped one on my shoulder, Mr. Makina started walking towards the library door.

Across the much-looking currier and Cecily, Makina hands on the library door.

So, Mr. Machina threw an inquiry at Mr. Cecily.

"Miss Cecily... you're obsessed with the Holy Monument attack, the number of three, right?

"... Yes"

"I know you're aware of your brother... but I just thought... You and Currier Verstein, and Crohiko... now, not the three of us?

"It's..."

"Pfft, never mind. Because I just figured it out. Well, good afternoon."

Thus the school director disappeared into the library, and the three of us were left on the spot.

So, the first thing I saw was...

"Um, Mr. Currier, Mr. Cecily"

It's me.

Phew, and breathe one.

And I said.

"I, I knew I wanted the two of you to get along. Not because the dean told me... that's what I've been thinking"

Return the heel.

"I wish the three of us could get along without a relationship, like forming an offensive squad or not. Mine, maybe a casual push. But I'm talking about the two of us right now... because I can't compare either of them, SU- I like them!

Tell me, I ran out.

I thought I heard a call, but I didn't stop, I ran straight to my house.

Running, various thoughts rush around your head.

"... I don't know"

What are you talking about, me...!

More than that. I can't believe I 'like' it...... oh, already!

I got embarrassed and accidentally ran away!

Lie down gently, breathing briefly and repeatedly.

Something's hard to meet tomorrow...

When I finally looked up, the sky was finally starting to darken and full of vision.

When I got home, Mr. Mia was there.

"Ah, welcome home, Master Krohiko.... Um, how's it going?

"... Huh? Oh, yeah... maybe I'm a little tired. Exercise came running all the way home... haha..."

"Really...... ah, I'm ready to take a bath, if you don't mind! And be sure to stay tuned for dinner!

What is it?

I was so soothed by Mr. Mia's healthy appearance.

"Thank you"

I said thank you and then headed for the bath.

When I came back after refreshing myself in the bath, dinner was lined up on the table.

"Excuse me, from what to what"

"No, not at all! This is what I like and do, so please don't worry! Oh, that's what I'm doing with your forgiveness, too, Master Makina, so don't worry there!

Finishing dinner, Mia and I start cleaning up after (they refused to help at first).

I finished cleaning up right after dinner.

Then Mr. Mia,

"Then I will do this"

And I tried to get out of the house.

but accidentally stopped in front of the door.

"... Master Krohiko, may I have a moment?

Mr. Mia turns this way.

"? Yeah."

"Master Krohiko is not from this country, is he?

It is explained to those around me, with the exception of Mr. Makina, that I am not from another world, but from the East.

"Yes. I'm from the East... from the back of the mountain. So I don't know anything."

"It had something to do with it."

Once, Mia hesitates to speak.

Then,

"Well... don't be too reluctant, eh?

And I said to care.

"Don't, do you?

"Yes... I think it's because I've come to this school from another country, but Mia has Krohiko, who seems so reluctant."

Mia lowers her brow butt and smiles as she glances at her lonely emotions.

"Mia is a sub-race. So it's a little bit... I also feel like I know what it's like to be treated as a 'stranger'"

"Mr. Mia......"

"But Master Krohiko has courage... and most importantly, he's very kind. So please, feel more confident in yourself."

…………

Don't, huh?

I just didn't realize it myself, maybe there was.

Look at it from the side, enough to understand.

Pepper, and Mia bowing her head.

"Well, I'm sorry to bother you."

"No... I'm glad you rather said it that way. Thank you, Mia."

Then Mia responded with a merciful smile.

"Mia... whatever happens, she's on Krohiko's side"

Then I lay my eyelashes down and put my hands on my left chest.

"Master Krohiko has become a 'friend' to me and others... because he is very important. So..."

Her mouth loosens softly, as if to bite her happiness.

"It is also happiness for Mia today that Krohiko will be happy in this country."

――――

I can't believe you've said this far.

This is what I do.

…………

No.

Didn't they just tell you to be confident now?

I need to take her feelings right.

"Mr. Mia."

"Ha, ha."

That's right.

Let's be a little more confident.

If you think you should... say it as firmly as you can.

Like earlier, in front of the library.

Don't hesitate to be weird.

From myself.

Above all... Whatever you say, I want to be as man as I can stand.

... I couldn't stand the embarrassment earlier, but I ran away with it.

But from now on...

"I'll try harder."

Keep your eyes open and look straight into Mr. Mia's eyes.

"And you'll be a strong man enough to work harder and protect Mr. Mia from anything"

I can put my strength into my hands with determination.

"Let me see."

All I need right now... is strength.

Yeah, like...

It's not just 'usable' the power of the curse.

We need to be able to 'use' the power of the curse.

That's not all.

In many ways, we have to be strong.

I'm sure that will lead to a lot of confidence.

"Dear Krohiko..."

"So please keep an eye out. I'll try to be more confident in myself.... Mia's, also for"

Mr. Mia weeps slightly.

And I laughed.

"- Yes."

He laughed at me.

"Good morning, Mr. Currier."

First thing in the morning, I found Mr. Currier on his way to school and spoke to him.

She came out of the girls' quarters just in time.

"Mmm...... oh, good morning"

"Battle class of the day, Bishibishi, please!

"You're so uptight... well, it's nice to be motivated"

Two, walk side by side.

Curious gaze is poured out by the other girls students but I don't care.

"By the way, what is it?"

Cut it out of me.

"Hmm?"

"I'm sorry about yesterday. He's gone in that way."

Tell Mr. Currier the same dialogue as you did yesterday morning when you apologized to Mr. Cecily.

"No, yesterday... I'm sorry too"

Mr. Currier misses his gaze as he cheeks.

"Or it wasn't like me.... I don't know, I can't describe it well, but I feel like you're being plundered by him, and I feel like I'm buying into selling words."

"Surely there was no good thing about Mr. Currier"

"Mm-hmm... you're quite right today.... but I guess so. That's it, look, jealousy's the one."

…………

I didn't get the next word out of this right away either.

I said 'jealous' straight away, now......

"But there's no such thing as knowing who the Spider is. And Cecily."

Hmm?

Cecily?

"Oh... actually, after that, I sat down with him and talked a little bit."

Seems to have guessed my doubts, Mr. Currier said while listening.

"So, well... the guide, maybe it's not a bad one,"

"Ho ho."
