63 – Secret Garden (3)

“But I really don’t know if I’ll be the princess’s mate or not. Is it okay for you, a noble person, to be like this?”

No matter how much rumors spread that Lily and I were like that, the change in Anna’s demeanor was too sudden, so I asked.

It was because I was showing an attitude as if I was not at all assuming that I would not be connected with Lily, even in the event of a situation.

“Yes? Is that so…? I’m not sure, considering what happened in the finals, no one would think so…? That’s why rumors spread faster.”

what happened in the finals. Lily pulled me in the face and told me how she had been kissing me.

Why is that? What’s the big deal? I tilted my head with an expression of ”, but soon after hearing Anna’s explanation, I was quite surprised that people from a completely different perspective than me, that is, people from this world, could accept Lily’s behavior completely differently. to be.

No matter how commoner he is, being the head of the academy is a feat so great that he erases the word “commoner” with an eraser.

… Of course, the chief was also handed over to Ian now.

However, those who have heard my rumors also know that my skills are several floors above that of the chief, Ian.

In fact, it is an undeniable fact that Ian was defeated with just one shot in the final.

Well, now that Ian also has Durandal in his hands, the feat of subduing the main character in the blink of an eye is impossible.

But it’s not enough that I’m the only one who knows that fact, and it’s also true that rumors are spreading that she beat Irene Justia a while ago.

In a word, I can already say that I am a shining existence that cannot be diluted with the word ‘commoner’.

If this continues, he will be able to gain the same level of fame as Finn in his heyday, who spread the name of the swordsman widely.

That’s why, as the princess’s mate, I’m not lacking that much. Rather, it is said that this is the reason why rumors ran.

Just as if she put up an advance payment and even pressed the steam button because she didn’t want to miss out on a product she liked so much, the princess herself offered her lips and said, ‘This guy is mine, so don’t even think about looking at it too much.’ It is said that it has become a public expression of intention.

Even after abandoning the fiancé who had been so chaste.

Under such circumstances, how could these two separate?

The academy cadets’ opinion is that since they have risked their lives to protect the princess twice, love is enough to sprout, and even as a princess, she will not be able to abandon her mate again and find a new mate.

No matter how many times the act of changing partners is implicitly treated as a cheap woman or something.

Rather, the opinion was that it would not be possible as she is the princess who draws attention.

In other words, for Anna, I was almost confirmed as the next Emperor Yeo’s consort.

‘That’s why he was shivering like this.’

It’s the same party, so I plan to build a fairly friendly relationship with me from now on, so that I can even make a favorable impression in advance.

Anna, who was not shy, must have felt even more pressure.

“Well then, putting that aside…what happened to the bill?”

Even if that’s the case, if I say that I don’t need to be so nervous, what will it be? In front of my eyes, the president of the company said, ‘Don’t worry about me, just relax.’ After hearing that, who would sit comfortably?

There is no reason to say anything, and if Anna suddenly changes her attitude just because I said that, that’s a problem, so it’s better not to worry about it and achieve the original purpose.

“Ah, if it’s a bill, here it is…”

What Anna held out to me was a nice little navy blue box that looked like it might contain a ring. Decorated with a gold ribbon, it was easy to see that the packaging was also elaborate.

When I opened the box, I found a red prosthetic eye with the same eye color as mine, wrapped in luxurious fabric.

When I picked up the artificial eye and examined it, I felt a soft touch as if I were touching my real eyeball.

Could this artificial eye look like normal eye movements to others? I asked Anna with such a question.

“How does this look to others?”

Then, with an expression of regret, Anna hurriedly waved both of her hands. Unfortunately, it didn’t seem to have the effect I was expecting.

Well, that bill was made by the world’s best alchemist, but even if it’s a heroine, if it’s the same as the one made by the first year of the academy, you’ll use it.

“That, originally, the effect in the prosthetic eye Berry-san was using may be just for appearance, but it’s an item that contains a considerable technique called field of vision distortion! As for me…”

Anna, who seems to be trembling that it is not a technology that humans can imitate at all.

I seemed to be curious about who used such a technique simply for the sake of appearance, but I couldn’t help but pry into my circumstances. It’s just a look of regret in the mouth again.

“…If at all, the story would have been different if there were even traces of the prosthesis.”

“Um, I have to go see you later anyway. Do you want to go with me?”

Anna, who had even prepared these decorations to impress me, looked blatantly downcast.

Was it like Anna, who was extremely active in alchemy?

It was an implicit offer because she had to visit it someday to get my eyes back, but it seemed like a golden opportunity to Anna.

“Yeah?! Is that okay?!”

Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide and pushed his face right in front of my nose.

“Uh, uh…it’s like a party. Of course it’s fine.”

Even though it was Anna like a child, there was only one thing that was burdensome when she clung to her like this, so she gently pushed her away with her fingers and nodded.

Then, Anna seemed to come to her senses, and she reminded me of the matter she had asked me to do before.

If you get excited and shout loudly, things will be annoying.

“Oh, and sorry to say it again, but as for my intention…”

“You asked me not to tell anyone, right? Neither about my prosthetic nor about the prosthetic I’m making.”

“It’s good that you seem to know it well. So, what’s the effect of this prosthesis? If it’s an artificial prosthesis made by Anna Freesia, the effect seems to be quite different.”

I don’t even want the effect of containing the soul and will like the original intention. I just think it’s okay if it’s not a general agenda.

“Hee hee…I also referred to Mr. Berry’s fighting style and put in an effect exclusive to Mr. Berry!”

However, as expected, Anna was Anna, and it was Anna with abilities that could not even be imagined with the effect of entering the prosthetic eye, befitting the character’s characteristics.

“All living things. Did they take advantage of the fact that each of them radiates a very small amount of mana every day, so weak that people can’t even notice it?”

Anna’s explanation was as follows.

This artificial eye detects and accumulates all the mana that I normally waste unnecessarily.

And if I use that accumulated mana at the timing I want.

“In an instant, Berry-san will be able to exert twice the strength and speed of her original limit!”

There are no aftereffects because you usually save up what you waste and then use it. However, the unfortunate thing is that it is collected in that way, so it can only be used once every 3 days.

To sum it up, Anna gave me a special move that I could use once every three days.

this asshole guy. It must have been a lot of hard work to make this, but now I see dark circles around my eyes like a curtain.

No matter how much it is for the sake of success, I am not a cold person enough to be cold-hearted towards the guy who worked so passionately for me.

Besides, didn’t he tell me directly without hiding his intention?

Rather than those who try to hide even obvious intentions, those who convey even obvious intentions through their own mouths without embellishment are clean and pure.

So, as a way of congratulating Anna for her hard work, he smiled while stroking her hair, which was small enough to fit in one hand.

“Well done. You did a great job beyond my expectations, Anna.”

“Ehehe…Thank you!”

“So, why did our attendant not talk to me and cling to Anna and cling to each other?”

“…”

Inside the sky ship of the elves heading to the secret garden. Inside, there is a man who is staring at the filth of three women.

Do I need to say two things? it’s me

“Huh? Why are you making that face? Didn’t our attendant tell you the other day? If you want to be jealous, do as you please.”

“…Yes. I did, I did. But that Anna…!”

“Anna?”

“Oh, isn’t that a child?”

“Oh my God, then, did our attendant play with a child?”

The corner of the mouth is smiling, but the snow is here in the ice mountains of the north? Lily is looking down at me with eyes so cold that it makes me mistaken.

And on a bench a little away from us, Refre and his best friend Bianca, who are returning to their own country, are also looking at me with eyes like they witnessed a lolicon.

Don’t be like that, I don’t treat children with haircuts… !

Because the opponent was that Anna, I inadvertently caught my guard. It was caused by the idea that anyone could look at such a child’s body with the opposite sex.

However, Anna was obviously a female student of the same age as me, and due to the nature of this era, where marriage is at an early age, the difference in perception that Anna’s infant body type did not have a big problem in seeing her as the opposite sex led to this result.

“Ah~ Then maybe that’s the reason you liked me from before? Was it because I was young? Somehow… Grace had a reason to be cold.”

After all, our princess started to shoot at me, saying that the reason why she fell in love at first sight when she saw her was because I was a lolicon.

“Then now that I’ve grown enough to grow up, I’m no business? So, are you going to switch to Anna now?”

… I’m sorry Anna, it looks like the rope you’re holding is a rotten rope!
