The character of Nocton Edgar was unusual, for someone would say he wasn’t the main character.
I went to think of a little boy whose face was blushed by a small favor, who had no words and couldn’t express emotions well.
At first, I didn’t even realize his personality was bad because he smiled mildly with a pretty face.
Strictly speaking, he was ignoring his true nature.
“Oh, you fell down.”
“Didn’t you just let go of your hand on purpose?”
“I’ve been losing my grip lately. I’m sorry.”
It’s either.
“Will you hold that for me?”
“You’re not talking about that pile of books with fifteen copies of the suit tied up, are you?”
“That’s what you’re looking. I’m not feeling well, so I asked you.”
It’s either.
“You want me to get you a what?”
“The 9 centimeters mantis in the window frame. I want to go and see it.”
“….I’d rather catch the trolls.”
Even though the same thing happened frequently, I was charmed by his smiling face and didn’t even realize I was played.
And Nocton Edgar was so noble that even the word “go out” is also an elegant twist.
I didn’t get it.
After a few months, he showed his true colors.
It was his birthday so I worked hard to pick a gift for him—Later, it turned out it wasn’t his birthday. I was fooled by the suggestion his family would not give him a birthday party.
I didn’t know what he would like, but I thought of the empty sleeves of his outfit, so I prepared a cuff button.
It was a button with a black diamond in it.
I saw a smoky silver lining inside when the magic treatment was done. There was a lotus blossom inside and it was pretty like an aurora in the night sky. I was thinking about whether to have it myself or gave it to him.
“It’ll go well with you, Nocton!”
After watching the cuff I had brought for him, Nocton had a strange expression on his face.
It was originally difficult to the read the boy’s emotions, but his expression was unrecognizable that day.
But considering what’s going to happen next, Nocton Edgar may be very clever and Roa Valrose might have thought he was uninterested.
The smiling Nocton lifted up the cuff I gave him.
“Sorry, my hand slipped.”
He dropped it into the lake in the garden.
What happened just now?
I was not immediately aware of the absurdity of the hard-won cuff button sinking into the lake.
I’m just looking at Nocton with a blank face because there’s too much gap between the Nocton Edgar in my head and his behavior right now.
Then, he smiled to me, “Will you pick it up?”
It’s foolish to think of it a few times, but it was only then the smile looked like a smile of the devil, not the angel.
I was deeply mistaken about Nocton Edgar, the first impression of good was broken and the truth came to me.
Nevertheless, the reality has not changed.
I was trying to get acquainted with him not just because I wanted to get closer to a pretty gently boy.
Although, I had given up on having Nocton neatly, his personality confirmed that I need to build a superficial relationship.
I really, really felt like he was going to burn me to death if something happened.
