Chapter 5 (1/2)
She thought he would got angry and shout at her, but he listened earnestly instead
It was obvious that such a matter like suicide can’t be mentioned, even if we can talk with honesty about als Celiastina’s soul was so worn out that it made the God deeply concerned, thus He put her soul into a rest for a while In the meantime, a completely different soul was sent to her body to maintain it
After suh of relief
It was too rand alone, Celiastina felt a pain in her sto about it It could have been that, deep down her heart, she had wanted to share this weight so she had wanted somebody to hear the entire story
However, even if she had narrated the events that had happened, she believed that the other party would not believe it Yet, it did not see for a moment, he solemnly nodded
”Well In fact, this talk has deviated too far away from common sense But surely you are not Celiastina The word ill-natured cannot describe you at all, I can only think of you as a pure and innocent young lass Even if this all was just a perfor those unclouded eyes”
It would be great if he believed it, and yet, he took on an inconceivable
“U ummm, who in the world are you?”
“Nn? Aa, are you talking aboutI am called Lynes = Ventress (ライナス=ヴェントリス) The advisor of this country's prime minister”
“Prime minister’s advisor?”
Perhaps he was a very iine it as until yesterday she was just a ent of this country, he should be, without a doubt, a person of relatively high status
“And, I auardian”
“Ah So it was like that”
In short, it seems he is my foster parent If that was the case, his informal attitude towards Celiastina can be understood
“Well, enough about me You will live here instead of Cella, but your character and way of thinking are both 180 degrees different froht”
“Ce, Celiastina-sama ell, was she…a wonderful person?”
“Wonderful eh”
It's not what you say, but how you say it Lynes sly
“In truth, she was already a wonderful lady She just has a rebellious character She wouldn’t let anyone order her around, she would do anything she wants to do, and those were her good points But, you have seen for yourself how everyone gives you the discerning eye The situation was sort of like that”
“Haaah Yes, Indeed I suddenly recall that being a thing ------Aah, come to think of it, the person who rescued me That person, do you know him?”
“Do you mean Ashuuto-kun?”
“I am afraid I don’t know his name”
“Is he a handso man with black hair and dark colored eye?”
That person, he was indeed like that Celiastina repeatedly nodded her head
“He is the first holy knight In short, Celiastina's fiancé”
“-----EeeeeeI?”
That person?! The person who facedup reflexively
“I-it did not go terribly well, did it?”
“It was said that Cella was disliked by him”
“But, why?”
Lynes just smiled and silently shook his head
“I was not such an insensitiveimmature couple”
“I, I am sorry”
Realising that she had asked too freely, Celiastina wanted to hide herself
“Hey, what have you done to need to apologise? After this, you will live as Cella, and such actions are unbefitting of her Look, you must throw out your chest with more pride!”
”Bu, but I, I am not Celiastina-sama, what am I supposed to do?”
Ah, that was right, Lynes stroked his chin while pondering
“Then, first, stand up Distance your feet the length between your shoulders and shi+ft your body weight onto your left foot Place your left hand on your waist Keep your right hand in the shape of a chop and place the back of it on your left cheek”
Celiastina changed her posture according to his instructions, and becaerous her completed pose was
“Now, shout 'Ho ho ho, kneel down before norant fools’, and you’ve perfected the basics of Cella”
“E, eeh, please wait a sec! -----about this, it ht??”
She had snarled frantically at Lynes but the other party continued talking without being bothered at all
“When it is time for the maid to braid your hair youthelare Every time you have a meal, you must complain about at least three dishes without fail When so you should voice your repugnance and say, 'you are so noisy', once in three tireet you, you should shout at them,'who you think you are?' and immediately fire the on, you should rant loudly and step on the sweeper with your slender heel When it is prayer time at the cathedral, if the priest spends too h, and click your tongue yeah, that’s about it for now”
With a clear voice, he uttered those outrageous things and Celiastina was stunned While frozen, she searched for her words deep in her consciousness Is this a situation that can be settled by saying so cute but nasty? Thus, from now on, can I live like that?
(It is impossible)
Not fretting for even a second, Celistina drew a conclusion
