Chapter 58 (1/2)

CHAPTER 58 – SEARCH ERROR?

「You’re late!」

After I had sent out Ojii-chan and the King, I was immediately scolded by Veronica when I returned to the living room.

「Sorry」

「Chase away old men immediately alright」

「No, I can’t do that」

「Well, whatever. Well then, rather than that, where are we going today?」

「Un? What do you mean by going?」

「To play!」

Veronica smiled pleasantly.

It’s a spoiled, selfish smile, but a smile that I can’t somewhat hate.

「We’re going. Now, think of something」

「Is it already decided that we’d go」

「Of course」

「Let me think……」

I don’t really mind playing, so I thought.

I thought of how to play, what kind of magic to use, just as usual.

「This is bad, Lucio-sama」

Sylvia entered the living room.

She seems to be quite in a hurry.

「What happened」

「The floor of the room that the books are placed was broken」

「Ah〜, that’s bad〜」

It finally came huh, I thought.

Books are heavy after all〜. It can’t be helped that the floor would be broken with the amount of books the King brought.

I came to the room where the Grimoires are brought in with Sylvia.

Veronica also followed.

Inside the room, there was really a hole opened there.

I went to where the broken floor is, and reached out my hand.

I used repair magic, and returned the floor back.

It’s an easy magic.

「Even so, the Grimoires had increased so much huh」

「That is true……」

「Ah!」

I remembered something, and told Veronica who was clinging to me.

「It would be probably better if you don’t go near here as long as possible」

「Why is that?」

Veronica got dubious.

「Is there something bad for you if I go near here?」

「No, it’s not something bad……」

『Pa〜pa!』

Chris came.

「Kyaaaaaaaa!!」

Veronica ran away from the room while screaming.

I told you, this would happen.

Veronica is not good with ghosts, and with a meaning, Chris is something like a ghost.

If they met, well, it would be like this.

「Protect the Grimoires, they’re important after all」

『Un!』

「Sylvia, can I leave the rest to you」

「Yes」

I said that to the two, and chased after Veronica who ran away.

It’s not a mansion that is very wide, so I found her quickly.

Veronica was crouching down in the corner of the hallway, and shaking her head while hugging it.

「It came out it came out it came out it came out it came out」

She repeated like a broken record.

Ah〜ah〜, she’s really frightened.

「Veronica」

「Hii!!」

I only called out to her normally, but she was scared that she almost jumped.

I feel bad for her.

「What is that really! What was that! Is that possessing this mansion?!!」

「Sorry, sorry. Uhh, I’ll tell her to not leave that place, so don’t worryーー」

『Papa, there’s a fake one within the Grimoires〜』

When I was about to say that, Chris appeared.

Achya〜, I thought, and looked at Veronica.

「……」

Veronica with an absent-minded

face.

She staggers to the ground, *Jyoーーー*, she peed.

「Higu!……」

And.

「Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeen!!」

She started crying seriously.

「O〜i, are you alright now」

「Please do not enter!」

A pillow was thrown to me.

「No, it’s alreadyーー」

「Please leave!」

The instant I entered her room to check on her, I was thrown out.

I couldn’t help but go out.

A moment of placing my back on the hallway’s wall.

Sylvia came out from inside.

「How is she」

「I helped her change」

I nodded. I asked Sylvia to take care of Veronica who peed.

「It would’ve been faster if I did it with my magic. It’s would be an instant if I used『Dress Up』」

「You should not」

Sylvia unusually told me with a strong tone.

「If you do that, Veronica-san would be more and more wounded」

「Is that so?」

Rather, isn’t it better to hide evidences instantly with magic?

「It is like that」

「It’s like that huh」

I don’t get it, but since Sylvia insists that much, it’s probably like that.

After all, when we just metーー.

「Lucio-sama」

She glared at me. Un, I should try my best to not remember.

「Anyways, I will do the rest, so Lucio-sama should forget that already」

「I got it, thanks」

「You’re welcome」

Sylvia left. Veronica finished changing, but there’s still the cleaning up of where she “did” it. She’s going there.

Well, what should I do. I should go to where Chris is once, and tell her to not leave from there whatever happens huh.

If this continues, Veronica would get afraid after all.

*Gacha*, the door opened.

In her young girl form, Veronica who was wearing Nadia’s clothes, she glared at me with teary eyes while hiding her body with the door.

I really feel bad for her. I should make it up to her somehow.

「Are you okayーー」

「Please take responsibility」
