136 Episode 32: Witchs Demon Stone Discussion (1/2)
”... Er, it's Tilty Claret, who's going to be in the magic bureau today. Get along...... can we get along? Tilty?”
”What do you think people are about? I've left this for you, Tilty Claret.”
Before I left for Magic City, I was supposed to introduce Tilty to the members of the Magic Bureau, but this woman is good enough to wear a white robe over her regular purple dress. However, it stands out because it's for daylight or because I hide my face in a black vale and even give it an umbrella at the end of the quote.
Everyone is blinded and distracted by the intimidation they feel at first glance. The most pale is Navre, who seems to be bright in aristocratic circumstances. The moment I heard the family name Claret, I was immediately changing my complexion.
”... excuse me. My name is Navre Sprout. Excuse me, but are you sure you're the lady of the Marquis Claret family?
”Right? Notorious Marquis Claret, what is it?
”Yes, no. I've heard your name as a famous pharmacist.”
”Phew...?
Tilty clouded his words so that he could lose interest after turning his umbrella around, looking at Navre, who would elucidate as he panicked. Really desperately bad with people......!
”Because it's my corrupt edge, and even if I say Marquis, as you can see, I'm no good at pulling cages. You just have to treat me right.”
”Am I supposed to say that...? Well, I'm the Marquis's Lady, so wouldn't you be rude...?
Ask me how Charne odood my treatment of Tilty. Tilty herself is the one who cares about Charne, but it also seems to be right for the maid who refrains behind it.
Behind Tilty still stands the exclusive maid like a shadow. It's like being faceless and not being slight from earlier. Usually when I see him, the shadows are too thin to pay attention to, but if I observe him again, I feel somewhere similar to Tilty.
The maid's hair color is a little darker purple than Tilty's, but her back length is almost the same, and maybe if she disguises herself a little or hides her face in a vale, she'll mistakenly see it as Tilty. Could it be a shadow fighter...?
”Everyone's name is Anis. Sure, you were Viscount Charne Persimon, weren't you?
”Yes!
”I don't want you to respect me as a marquis, or a woman who hasn't even shown her face at a social meeting in the first place. I won't tell you to treat me like a civilian, but if you stick with me appropriately, I won't stand a grunt. Rather than, would you mind more than necessary?
”You did it fast, you insidious giddy mushroom woman!
”Shut up...”
Tilty is twirling her umbrella as she groans annoyingly. You communal sickness...!
”You don't have any specifications, anything to wear out even if they treat you like a marquise anyway. It's easier for me to treat you like that from the start, and it's better for each other not to let you waste your effort, right? What are you unhappy about?
”... oh, like Ennis”
”A little gaggy? Will you stop that disgraceful perception?
Gakun got annoyed with the convincing look on his face. I'm not with such a shady guy!
Navre is sighing with his head. It was Priscilla and Tomas who were flat. The two of them look at each other, and they nod to each other, yeah. How long have we been so close?
”If you are immersed in your hobby, you are accustomed to your sister Wang.”
”... right”
”Are you going to put me together with this guy too?”
”I think the root part looks just like that, huh?
I am unintentionally stunned by Tomas's allegations. Oh no... there must be such a thing...! No, hey, I also feel I can't deny it just a little bit, but I just don't like that......!
”I don't care, but if we're done face-to-face, aren't we leaving?
”I guess this is what's happening because of you!?”
”Ma'am, we have loads to load, so we'll take the carriage. We ask that you do not disturb others.”
”Yes, yes, I know...”
”I really know!?”
When the maid says without changing her expression, the boulder Tilty looks like a pain in the ass too. Even if I yell at you, it's like I don't even show you how I care!
In the end, if I can't help talking like this, I tried to leave...
”Hey, can't you manage to pack some more? What about this air bike?”
”Do you go out of your way to get behind me and say?
”I don't like other people... I'm a man”
”You're a bad woman, so you need to care? Or shut your umbrella!
”Yep...?
Are you sure it's okay to take him to the City of Magic!?
With that happening, I drove my air bike back to the City of Magic, and Tilty, who was riding behind me, said...
”... uhh... disgusting...”
”You're lying...? Even airbikes get drunk, Tilty.”
He placed his hand on the air bike and bent his back with a bright blue face. It's just motion sickness, I think an air bike is a totally non-intoxicating ride compared to a carriage or something!?
Eventually, Charne will accompany me until I feel better, and I will give Uncle Dragus and Priscilla a report of my return, as well as the documents I received in the Wang capital.
Navre and Gark went to show their faces to the Knights, and Tomas headed to the private room to which they were addressed.
”... Tilty, are you sure you're okay?
”How long have you known the Marquis Claret?
”It's a rotten edge from childhood.... Well, is that the only childhood you're familiar with?
Priscilla asked me about my relationship with Tilty on the way back to the city after I finished giving her reports, papers, etc.
I've known Tilty for a long time. Except for Ilaria, she's the longest relationship I've had. Although I can't say we're close from the bottom of our minds just because we've been dating a long time.
”My thoughts don't have to mesh. I'm not a bad guy, I'm sure of my arm as a pharmacist, and I admit it because I'm an expert in a different field than I am.”
”As long as it takes.”
”... Well, it's true that Tilty would be helpful if he could come. However, Tilty, as you can see, is weak. I wonder what the pharmacists would do if they weren't curative at all?
”Are you worried?
To Priscilla's inquiry, I inadvertently stopped saying the right thing. Somehow I scratch my cheek.
”... I don't want to admit it, because even that one is my friend”
”Really? Then I will take good care of you with all my sincerity.”
”It would help if you did.”
The conversation with Priscilla is broken and we return to the city. But I heard voices coming from outside the city. There were three people talking: Tilty, Charne and Tomas.
Tilty seems to be asking the two of us if she's back in shape yet. Then you noticed me, and you turned your gaze over the vale.
”You're back, Master Anis. It's quick, but can I try everything? I've been hearing from both of you about the demon stone activation experiment, but I thought you might actually want to try it.”
”It's good to try, but are you feeling better already?
