Chapter 16 (2/2)

In the first place, I al roughly…… Theyabout my villainous face, but I don’t want to be called a pervert!

“…Uh, uh, this is…”

Nothing ca

“Disgusting……?”

“……Eh?”

Sophiain a weak voice I asked her to repeat herself –

“……It’s not disgusting?”

This ti…… Me!? Since I’!? Oh no, I’h last year a certain self-i Mary…… I’ht!

“Uh, that’s…… I’m…”

I opened my mouth and tried to defend myself somehow –

“Katarina-sausted by the way I look?”

I lostwhat she had to say next Eh? What’s thisone? Sophia is? I had a completely blank face by reflex while Sophia looked like she was about to cry

“……Hair like an old person’s and eyes as red as blood…… Everyone says I’ and a cursed child……”

“!?”

What’s this!? So!?

The people of this world have golden, silver, brown, red, and black eye and hair colors, a colorful assortht Sophia’s white hair and red eyes would also be co different from the rest…… Anyways –

“Saying you’re cursed… What on earth?”

While I was trying to question Sophia, as if to block me Nico spoke up in a cold voice

Well, for sure, I’ve never seen anyone like Sophia before, but –

“But, I think you’re pretty though……”

“……Eh”

Sophia opened her eyes wide at what I said Sophia kept staring at me as I continued

“I think, that Sophia-sama’s silken white hair, and eyes that sparkle like rubies are very beautiful in my opinion”

If I don’t say so to this extent I probably won’t be able to shake off the ito convey that I was straight and that she had nothing to be worried about

“As such, I’ll be very happy if you could continue coht with you, won’t you be friends with me?”

As I said so, I extended htly Those beautiful white hands of hers clenched er had such a dubious expression

Thus, the friend that I had alanted to discuss roet!

After I sent off Sophia and Nico in their horse-drawn carriage When I returned to ame memories” notes –

I didn’t have anything written there aside from what I remembered today

Well, I’m a little surprised that Sophia turned out to be a capture target’s sister, a rival character just like Katarina, but –

This tiet in the way of their relationshi+p

And, it’s very good news that Sophia is the saic power That ic school

I’ll always be able to discuss books with her fro up and down in joy on top ofwarned to be cautious by Anne

After that, Sophia began coularly By the way, Nico would always accompany her

The best part was that Mary finally got influenced by our passionate discussions and asked if she could borrow so with us and our book discussions became even livelier

Also, for Sophia who had al me in the field as well

At first, Sophia and Nico were rather shocked, but now it’s okay to appear in front of them in my work clothes

In this way, I increased the number of repeat visitors to my place
