Today was a dungeon investigation day.\n
However, my brother and I were staying home within the Avi territory.\n
By the way, besides my brother and I, the other members of the team were on their way to investigate.\n
So why were my brother and I not going with investigation team?\n
It was because of something that happened in the city two days ago.\n
On that day, I had accidentally bumped into Mira Boulangère, the second son of the Count Boulangère family, in the city.\n
Mira was hiding his figures with a hood, and we were dressed so simply that I didnât think he would notice our positionâŚ\n
The Boulangère family formally wished to apologize to Charlotte, the Dukeâs daughter, for any disrespect they might have caused.\n
âŚHow did Mira find out about me?\n
I think it was probably because of my brother.\n
It was probably Brotherâs beauty, which could not be hidden by simple clothes alone!\n
Also, aside from what I really thoughtâŚ\n
My brother was apparently quite famous.\n
Well, I guess he is the legitimate son of the Avi family, the next in line to the royal family, after all. And he has that face, you know?\n
He was currently the No. 2 person for those wanted to get married.\n
Of course, Chris-sama was the number one.\n
I donât think so, though!!!!\n
And, well, I handât been wearing any special disguises, so people who knew about me might have noticed.\n
Mira of the Boulangère family was coming over to apologize, but the patriarch of the Avi family, our father, had already gone to the dungeon.\n
This was because of fatherâs insistence that there would be no problem as long as Charlotte, the witness, and Lucas, the future head of the Avi family, were both present.\n
âŚYou chose the dungeon over your own daughter, didnât you?\n
It was fine though. I didnât mind.\n
I was more worried about the fact that those adults went to investigate the dungeon alone.\n
I knew that they were good and powerful, but they just didnât know when to back off.\n
I hope that they donât concentrate too much on collecting magic stones and end up in troubleâŚ\n
I tried to raise a flag. (T/N: like a âdoom flagâ)\n
Fufufu\n
Since they were adults, they should take responsibility for their own actions, right?\n
WellâŚperhaps it was because he wanted the children to make peace with each other rather than having the current head of the family get involved. Aristocracy is a class society, after all.\n
ProbablyâŚprobably.\n
I should have just pretended that I didnât notice what was going onâŚI wish I had done everything in my power to make it so.\n
Whyyyyy~\n
I fell down and put my head on the lap of my brother who was sitting next to me.\n
Fufufu. Itâs my brotherâs lap pillow.\n
âCharlotte-sama?â\n
Immediately, Marianna, a maid, intervened.\n
âSorryâŚâ\n
I stretched out the wrinkles in my dress and sat back down in a well-behaved manner.\n
Even if I didnât want to, I couldnât wear a wrinkled dress when we had guests coming over.\n
Currently, my brother and I were in the parlor waiting for Mira to come and visit us.\n
My brother was drinking a cup of tea by himself with a cool face.\n
Hah~\n
When I let out a deep sigh, my brother patted my head.\n
I put my head on his shoulder.\n
This seemed to be okay from Mariannaâs point of view.\n
To be honest, if I didnât know Mira from the game, I wouldnât have even noticed him. âAlbino coloring is rareââthatâs all that would have happened.\n
So why would he come here to apologize?\n
If it werenât for me, my brother wouldnât even have noticed that he was the second son of Count Boulangère!\n
Even nowâŚcan you please just pretend that you didnât notice meâŚ?\n
If youâre shy, just stay away from my villainous face.\n
Itâs for both our sakes!\n
And soâŚ.why?\n
Why was the shy Mira appearing in front of us, even if it was just to apologize?\n
Mira hated his appearance, so there was no way he would take part in a situation where he couldnâtâ hide herself in a formal apology.\n
Do you really want to apologize for bumping into me that badly?\n
Why�\n
Was it just a coincidence that we in the first place?\n
Could it be that he was following me?\n
If so, that would explain why he was in a place that wasnât even near his territory.\n
But then that meant there was a reason why he wanted to get closer to the Avi family, right�\n
Was it not just shyness, but a guilty conscience that caused you to run away after your eyes met mine?\n
âŚNo way.\n
Because itâs Mira, the research idiot and invention genius, right!?!\n
There is nothing in the Avi family that would make a shy person like him be attracted toâŚ\n
âThere is!!!!!\n
I wanted to hold my head.\n
I knew why Mira was acting this way.\n
Mira wanted the magic stones.\n
Currently, the magic stones collected in the dungeon were kept by the guild and the Avi family.\n
What if Mira wanted them for his research on magic tools?\n
It all made sense.\n
As expected of MiraâŚ\n
Was he an idiot or a genius�\n
I couldnât help but have a bad feeling about Miraâs visit today.\n
Hah~âŚI donât want to see him.\n
Just as I let out another sigh, I was told that Mira was arriving.\n
