Chapter 12 (2/2)

He is almost always in the greenhouse so in my mind I secretly call him ‘the devil king of the greenhouse’ but I don’t have the courage to call him that to his face!

Taciturn compliments are also hard but he is wonderful at his job. The duke’s house’ gardens are very magnificent. This couldn’t be done without someone who possesses love for flowers. So, surely Bellis should also a great person ……even though his appearance is like a devil king☆

I can vaguely feel like he is a good person but also I am nervous when I talking to him.

Today also, as expected, he was diligently working in the splendid greenhouse facility.

However, while it may be true that he is scary, Bellis cannot be left out!

I ready myself and call out to his back.

“Ex, excuse me~ Bellis?”

Ooh, I fumbled my words.

“……what is it?”

His back is still facing me but he tentatively gave me a reply. Still continuing to work.

“Um, if, I have a baked chocolate tart, so if you want, you can eat it during your break, ahem☆”

I smile and get through it!

“……please place it on the table over there”.

It is the same conversation with his back but Bellis pointed with his hand to a table inside the greenhouse.

“Going, got it. I am sorry for the intrusion~!”

I can’t bear this atmosphere, when I think about putting the tart down and hurriedly escaping the greenhouse and return.

Smaーーーck!

“Hey!, Bellis!! You are being rude to the mistress!!!”

Some devil king’s, I mean Bellis’, head was struck.

I am dumbfounded.

Bellis is stroking his struck head.

Devil king Bellis’s attacker, wasn’t a hero summoned from somewhere, it was Mimosa.

……oh? Wasn’t there was this situation also some time ago~

In Mimosa’s hand is a wooden spade from the greenhouse. Whoa! Mimosa, are you going to hit him with it?!

I look at the hero, Mimosa, while startled, when, the devil king Bellis suddenly recovered. Hide, this is probably the devil king’s counterattack?! Isn’t the hero, Mimosa, in crisis?!

While having delusions on what’s happening I watch the two people attentively,

“As expected, very painful, Mimosa”

Bellis said to Mimosa in a shocked tone while placing his hands on her waist. The glint in his eye……isn’t sharp?! uh, rather it is affectionate?! Why?

While I am left with plenty of question marks flying around me, they keep talking. Someone, I want answers!!

“Did not Mistress make this at great pains and specially bring it to you? With that kind of attitude”

Mimosa looks up at Bellis in a huff”.

……uh huh, deja vu.

“I can’t help it. Because I do not have any sociability etc in me”,

Bellis soothed Mimosa while sighing.

“That’s right. Since old times, Bellis has been like this. Mistress, I am sorry for Bellis’ impoliteness”.

And then for some reason Mimosa lowered her head to me.

“It is nothing, I don’t mind. But why is Mimosa apologizing?”

“Ah, I do not think Mistress knows yet but actually Bellis is my husband. This person has never had social courtesy since old times, furthermore a scary face don’t you agree? He always invites misunderstandings. Although he actually is a kind person……”

Ooh, her cheeks are blushing. She just praised her husband without realizing, right? Well, it is fine though. They are also married! As I thought, deja vu!

“Oh! So it is like that. It is okay! If look at someone’s work their personality will also come out. This garden is magnificent so I thought surely Bellis is also a wonderful person. His eyes are just a little strong ☆ but, what do you mean ‘since old times’?”

“Bellis and I are childhood friends. He has looked after me since I around the time I was a baby”.

“Like your older brother!”

“Yes. we are separated by 12 years so he was like an older brother”.

“Well! With the age difference you are married!!”

Bellis with the Wolf and devil king like atmosphere and the kind and tender Mimosa. Uh huh, this couple was not expected either~. Not just a gap (T/N: in personality) but also in age difference!

I tentatively ask Lotus as well but Lotus is unmarried. No, I was expecting another gap or something different?
