18 "Otomes feelings.Mandragoras heart." (2/2)

Yo.

It was Mr. Jack from Jack O'Lantern that floated in the air.

After floating for a while, he sat down next to me and spoke to me unexpectedly.

Why did you go off on your own again? My brothers are worried about you.

”I see.

I'm glad to hear that line, and I'm sorry for worrying about it.

...... I've been feeling a bit strange lately. When you see your master getting along with other women, you feel bad and depressed, but I hate myself for feeling that way. ......

The feelings I've been feeling inside lately are the first time I've shared them with someone.

I don't know why I'm feeling this way. Then Jack answered my question.

Dora-chan. You like my brother, don't you?

”Huh?

It was unexpected.

I certainly liked my master, but for some reason, as soon as he said it, I could feel my heart pounding and my face turning bright red.

”Dora-chan. The love you have for your brother means that you like him as the opposite s*x. You're in love with your brother. That's why you're jealous when you see a woman who is friends with someone else.

It was the first time I realized that someone had pointed out to me that I had been attracted to him.

I had been attracted to the gentle master as I spent time with him in my daily life.

I had grown to love him beyond the boundaries of race. I loved my master without realizing it.

”But I am ...... a mandragora and ...... master.

You can't deny that you love someone just because they're different. The reason you like her is more important than the reason you don't like her.

I was somewhat relieved when Jack said that to me.

I like my master. Then I'll take that in my heart.

I thought that I would cherish the existence that the master had raised me with.

Then as I was waiting for the rain to stop, I saw someone coming from behind the rain again.

It was a mysterious person dressed in a pure white robe.

I don't know if it's a man or a woman. But there was a hint of something out of the ordinary.

It was ...... mandragora.

Then he chanted something and I felt my body bound and floating in the air.

I tried to speak, but the words wouldn't come out of my mouth.

My consciousness sank into darkness as I watched Mr. Jack swing away without a kick as he tried to reclaim me, losing me in the figure's hands.
