Kuhha, it’s so cuuuuutteeeeee!!
The bashful smile of a beautiful tsundere girl with moistened eyes and faintly tinted cheeks. It was so cute that my heart trembled. I like Myra-sama’s innocent smile and Mary’s cheeky smile, but this is my favorite. Cute is absolute justice.
「I’m glad. I’m so happy for you too.」
I am glad to see that Countess Bauer is moving in the right direction, even though I haven’t done anything to be thanked for it. I said something to Miss Amy, or rather I told her only the truth, and not particularly on Countess Bauer’s shoulders. However, the friendship was probably formed because Miss Amy was an honest and kind girl.
I had heard that Countess Bauer’s school life was tough after the incident. The most important reason is that she was close to the ringleader of the case, the former Viscountess Alia Bollelan. The fact that she declined the position of friend of the Royal Princess was probably a further aggravating factor.
I think that Miss Amy is much bigger than I realized for a girl who was misunderstood and had few friends to begin with.
「Umm… I still like Priscilla-sama. I feel bad for her, but I can’t help but dislike Alia-onee-sama as well.」
「I see.」
I’m not going to deny the strength of her heart to say that she still like her even after what she went through.
「But, uhh…」
Countess Bauer is at a loss for words, and I urge her with only a smile.
「Believe it or not, I don’t hate you either! That’s why…!」
Countess Bauer bit her lip. But then she opened her mouth,
「Rify…no, I’ll allow you to call me Ciel!」
Countess Bauer, or Ciel, who told me to be thankful, was so cute, so cute.
「I’m happy, Ciel. I would also appreciate it if you call me Marsha instead of『you.』Best regards from now on. I’m counting on you!」
From then on, we talked about so many things. Ciel’s birth and future dreams. We even discussed what kind of efforts we need to make from now on. It was as if I was watching the old Myra-sama and Mary, and I listened and responded seriously to their stories, driven by nostalgic feelings. I spent an unexpectedly fulfilling time.
How long had I been doing so?
When I came to, the nausea that had made me feel so sick was gone, and I realized that the view from the small window of the carriage was now much further away from the Royal City.
「We’ve stopped. Maybe a break?」
The view from the small window is of a plateau. Lush greenery covers the entire hillside.
「Let’s see… Oh, I think someone’s coming.」
A figure approached. A knock sounded immediately, to which I responded, “Come in.”
「How are you doing, Special Goodwill Ambassador?」
And the one who appeared with a mischievous smile on his face was Keith Gracis. My own brother. My own brother Keith is accompanying the special goodwill ambassador as secretary. Incidentally, my brother’s other duty is to escort me to an evening party in Quanda. Although I had gone through a lot of blood-soaked training with Ryniel-sama, no joke, it was impossible to improve my phobia of men in that number of days. It would be a great help to have my brother accompany me as a secretary.
「Oh, what would the civil service do if I was in a bad mood?」
「I do not know what the goodwill ambassador wants from a lowly civil servant.」
I raised one eyebrow at my brother who said in such a joking tone.
「So, what can I do for you, Brother?」
「I’m here to invite you ladies to a picnic, Goodwill Ambassador.」
「May I understand that that is a lunch break in the name of a picnic?」
「As expected of my sister. I’m glad to see you understand so quickly.」
No, I have to be honest and straightforward. He is a fucking pain in the ass, even as my own brother.
「You two are close.」
Ciel saw us and muttered to me, looking as if she had seen something strange for some reason.
「Hello, nice to meet you. Beautiful lady. My name is Keith Gracis. As you may have guessed, I am the brother of the Goodwill Ambassador, and I am accompanying her this time as her secretary. Please make your acquaintance.」
I throw a handkerchief to my brother, who identifies himself to Ciel with a wink, with a pesillanimous grin.
「What are you doing, Sister!」
「Don’t make such a disgusting gesture to a girl who is almost a year younger than you. It’s bad for my reputation.」
「Eh, eh, eh?」
I turned from my brother to Ciel and took her hand in dismay.
「Listen, Ciel. My brother is smart but a bit blind to women. I don’t think he was foolish enough to be insolent, but never allow your heart to go out to my brother. Good.」
「Eh, ah… I–I understand?」
Ciel nodded her head, perhaps pushed by my momentum, but nodded at least for the time being.
「Hey, hey, little sister. Don’t lie to her.」
「I’m not lying at all, Ciel. And then there’s your language, Brother!」
A quarrel broke out between the siblings. We look slender like civil servants, but our language is crude.
「My name is Cierlify Bauer and I am the lady-in-waiting of the Goodwill Ambassador. It is a pleasure to meet you.」
「You’re a lovely young lady, unlike my sister. It is an honor to meet you. Please don’t mind what my sister says, I would be happy to have you befriend me.」
「Eh, ah… yes?」
「Hey, Brother!」
「Shut up, Sister.」
What a quick turnaround. And what a shameless brother to immediately make a pass at her when I had just warned him not to behave in such a disgraceful manner.
「You, what are you doing?」
In exasperation, my brother’s body jerked up at the sight of a familiar figure who appeared there.
「Well, Noah-sama…」
Good place to be, I called his name. It was Noah Reggtart-sama, the Chief Diplomatic Secretary, or in other words, my brother Keith’s boss.
「Keith-kun. I know you and she are brother and sister, but your relationship now is only that of a Goodwill Ambassador and a secretary. You see my point, don’t you?」
His gentle tone of voice, yet firm and firm in his admonishment, made Brother stand erect and steadfast.
「Yes, I am sorry for the inconvenience. I will be careful from now on.」
I laugh at my brother, who says, “I’m sorry for what I did,” with few words, which makes me feel good inside. Of course, he never ceases to smile on the surface.
「Good. Now, Marsha-dono and her maidservant. Lunch is ready, so please join us.」
I followed the hand that was held out to me. Here is the result of my training with Ryniel-sama. I did my best, even if it was just to lay my hands on him!
「My brother… I mean Secretary Keith is going too, right?」
Nevertheless, I know that there will be a limit to my contact with Noah-sama. Therefore, let my brother be my shield. From what I saw earlier, it seems that my Brother cannot go against Noah-sama, but he has to do his best for the sake of his lovely sister.
「I understand, Goodwill Ambassador.」
My brother’s eyes say,『I’ll remember this,』but I go through it lightly.
「What a strange siblings.」
And I also thought I heard Ciel’s voice, and I also asked for the same direction to go through!
