Volume 4 Chapter 10 (1/2)

It’s about the night of few days ago.

Someone knocked on the door.

Opening without thinking, I saw Laurel and gently shut the door.

As door was knocked again, I opened it, there still was Laurel.

Huh? Why!? What is it for? While welcoming her in panic, Laurel-chan entered the room, bowed and offered an extra-large bouquet.

[Um, I thought I troubled you, so I wanted to express my grat.i.tude!]

Laurel was fl.u.s.tered and didn’t say a lot.

She was pretty nervous to visit me as I am a middle cla.s.s n.o.ble.

Considering Laurel-chan in trouble, I without resent was helping against her attackers.

Both of us spent time confused and couldn't start a talk.

It was Laurel who ended the silence.

Laurel who is usually a simple person and has shy personality, changed to an aggressive character when flowers got involved.

Laurel raised her head and noticed a lot of potted plants in my room.

“I am glad that such a person who loves flowers in the academy! I am so glad!”

Laurel who thought she was able to meet the flower-loving comrade was excited.

Dyeing her cheeks in pink, making her eyes glitter, [Flowers are blooming beautifully!] She praised it.

I was very awkward thinking about the acquisition route.

Laurel clutched my hands and gave me a [thank you] with excitement.

“Thank you for helping me!”

“Oh, yeah, I'm glad that we both are safe.”

“Yes, not only that, not only in the cla.s.s, but also for food and clothes, thank you!”

Laurel seemed to have noticed what I was hiding.

Because I could only do small things, I thought that it was not enough to thank me, but Laurel said my actions were quite outright.

Every time a cla.s.smate did a terrible thing to Laurel, I was grinding my teeth suppressing the anger and trying to distract their attention.

Even at that time of soup bullying

[Well, that soup is delicious isn't it?]

Even being scared of persistently saying that, I withdrew the cla.s.smates who were bullying Laurel-chan.

The feeling of wanting to set a distance from strange existence like me, exceeded their disgust for Laurel.

That is how I felt that my position is in danger.

“Even that evening, Tiarella-san could escape alone, but you protected me. Even at the s.h.i.+p restraining your friend … Thank you so much, I will never forget your kindness!”

“Er, um … … to go that far … … Do you mind forgetting?”

Trembling to Laurel-chan's vigor.

She seemed to be hungry for kindness from others and was overflowing with more than necessary grat.i.tudes.

“I wanted to say thanks earlier, but …… Um … couldn't go out … ….”

Laurel's vigor in talk disappeared.

It seemed too complicated to speak.

“Were you alright? Did not you recover with magical power?”

If you own a magical power as much as Laurel, you could recover immediately as soon as you pa.s.s through the magical power non-interference area, but alcohol did not suit her const.i.tution so much.

“Um, no it’s different, I couldn’t …out, in the room, that … …”

Laurel-chan face became red.

Take it out? What?

“Um, could it be Ricardo-sama!?”
