A young girl in a village without protection

7. Covered Eyes

Zelicina took Hisui and Toi back to the mansion in the king's capital.

My father, who worried badly, greets me and asks me what happened to root digging leaf digging and I get laid back. He looked suspicious when he told me that he hired Hisui in the form of an apprenticeship, but soon he admitted that if Tsericina wanted to do so.

Father - Baysell looks at Tsericina as she loosens her cheeks.

"I'm kind of glad that Tselli rarely asks for anything"

"Father..."

Zelicina, who remembered her memory of her previous life with a ritual of protection at the age of six, has spent so much time as a very dear and unwilling child. Even though the lack of protection is part of the reason, Bayselle thought she missed it so much.

I told myself that it was a cute favor for my daughter, although I can't get a little bit of my content to be a man my age.

"Hisui has me dressed, so I can introduce you in a little while"

"Right. But it's still the engagement stage... you'll soon be married to His Highness Solatique, won't you? A samurai can't take a butler apprentice to the castle anyway, can she?

If you want me to work at the Mansion as I am, I have no problem with it, but I will continue with the words.

"... you did"

"What, don't you really feel like being a queen?

"No, that's not what..."

Because it's an immediate divorce anyway. That's exactly what Tsericina doesn't say either. If I told my father that, there would be a wave of chaos before the event.

"... but I have no protection whatsoever. If I don't deserve it next to Master Solatique, I always think"

"Tseri......"

Laughing lonely that you shouldn't be negative, Zelicina mouths the macarons that were ready. Oh, I was just relieved of my expression that it was delicious, and the sound of a knock echoes indoors.

Encouraging her to enter the room, Toy turned up wearing a butler's apprenticeship clothes and a cute ribbon around her neck.

"Well, you look great. And Toy, she's so cute!

When I cuddle Toy, who jumped at me, I lick Tsericina's cheek with joy. The sight smiled, and Baysell welcomed Hisui and Toy with a smile.

And at the same time, speaking of which, it's the first time an animal has entered this mansion, and his father drops his shoulder that he should have had a dog or cat sooner if he was so happy.

Zelicina goes beside Hisui and is amazed at how it has changed.

Amber's hair is set and how she can work is the look of a butler. When I grow up, I think you might be my right arm.

"Father, I'm hissy. I haven't had a courtesy education yet, but I'm a good kid with a solid core."

"It's very nice to meet you."

"Hmm...... I'm gonna need some tselli, hissy. I heard you were a city kid, but you're pretty solid."

Yeah, I snort at my father, and Zelicina's relieved.

"Hisui, what kind of protection are you getting? As your lord, I must grasp it."

"! Do I have to teach protection...... no, should I,?

"That's right. I'll hire him, of course. We can judge what we can do, what abilities we can rely on, and what kind of protection we receive."

For example, if it is the protection of the Spirit Salamander of Fire, it is also appropriate for cooking with fire. If it is the protection of the Spirit Silf of the Wind, many people have motor nerves that rise and aspire to the Knight.

Few people tell themselves of the protection they are receiving, but they often grasp it in the case of the average employer.

Seeing how hissy you don't want to say it, Zelicina leaves a step forward. Tell Hisui, "It's okay," and put your gaze on Bayselle.

"Father, I am the employer of Hisui. So please forgive me for reporting protection to your father."

"What...? Tseri, are you going to be the direct employer of Hissui?

"Yes."

His father opens his eyes in surprise because he thought he was going to hire him to come with Zelicina.

Sure, I've given Zelicina a dime, and she'll be able to pay me from there. I didn't want much stuff and was fortunate for Tsericina that I was saving up.

I put my hand on my chin wondering what was going on, but I told him that I wouldn't mind the condition until I married Solatique.

"When I marry His Highness Solatique, Hisui will take it from me. Only a samurai can take you to the castle."

"Okay. When the time comes, we'll talk about it again."

"Oh."

(Me and Lady Solatique are breaking up their engagement anyway, so we don't have a problem with Hisui.)

With a sigh of relief, his father opens his mouth like it's hard to say.

"When, Tselli"

"Yes?"

"... the rumor is, are you listening?

"Rumor, is it? What is it?"

I follow my memory that there shouldn't have been any particularly big news or anything like that here lately. The game has begun, about as heroin has come out - but Zelicina has no direct contact with heroin.

When I shook my head because I didn't think of it in particular, my father sighed, "Well."

Apparently I'm not sure if I should tell Zelicina, but I tilt my neck wondering if there would be something that hard to say. When Zelicina told me to ask honestly, she prefaced that it was only a rumor and then started talking.

"There are rumors that His Highness Solatique has a woman close to him. Of course I don't believe it, and I confirmed it with His Highness himself."

(Oh, that's heroin)

No, come on, more than that.

(Did you check with the person?!?)

Surprised by his father's ability to act, Zelicina urges him to go ahead.

"Your Highness has told me that there are no such intimate facts and that we will not cease our engagement"

"Huh..."

I wish I had said I wanted to destroy my engagement at this time, Zelicina thinks. I wonder why you bothered to answer the question of the continuation of your engagement and the fact that it's going to stink in the future.

(But Master Solatique is kind)

I thought it would be hard to say that Tsericina had a woman who wanted to marry her. I tell my father that, even though I don't care.

"If you don't care, don't worry. But if you need anything, talk to me right away."

"Okay. Thank you, father."

Guide him through the mansion to Hisui as he moves to Zelicina's room. Looking around for a moment, it's kind of fresh how he's raising his voice "ooh..."

"Hisui's room will be guided later by Deacon Hanley. Hisui asks Hanley to educate him as my Butler Apprentice."

"Okay."

I still don't have the language, but I can very much like the way you snort straight away. "Yes," he says, wanting to see Hisui in politeness soon.

"Hisui, call me after you because I will be your employer. It may be tough, but can you please?

"Mm, okay. Dear Tselli,"

"... thanks"

(Your father called you Tselli, so that's what you got?

There's nothing wrong with that, and if not, Zelicina decided not to care because she thought Hanley would be careful. Besides, this is just about as good as being tough if you're a butler on the side.

When she arrives in her room, Tsericina gives Hisui a single key and a silver pocket watch.

"This is the key to my room and a gift for Hisui, who became a butler apprentice. Try not to lose that key because it's all I have."

"Huh...? Wow, okay. Thank you, Master Tselli."

Except for the master of the mansion, the butler is the only one allowed to have the keys.

Hisui is only allowed to have the keys to Zelicina, but I hope that one day he will become a deacon entrusted with everything in the Marquis of Linkrat.

"You should keep the key down from your neck. Pocket watch goes to the inner pocket"

"Okay."

I look happy and Hisui takes care of two things.

Relieved that I was happy, I just thought I'd start by brewing some tea, and I realize that Hisui's jade eyes are staring at Zelicina.

When I ask what's wrong, I look at Tsericina with a surprised look.

"Master Tselli, there's no protection."

"Oh, that's the thing. I have no protection from God or from the Spirit."

…………

Don't you want a husband like this? And, sit on the couch. Immediately Hisui shakes his head and clouds the words "I don't hate it, but".

"Hissy?"

With a slightly troubling bare gesture, Hisui approaches Tsericina. Put your hands on the couch and peek into Tsericina's face.

The looming emerald eyes and gaze together make the heart beat a little faster.

Hisui reaches out his left hand and slowly touches Tsericina's cheek. Tsericina, who is having an inner panic about what the hell is going on, is hacked.

(What Hisui is looking at is my left eye?

How could you do that? I want to say so, but I can open my mouth because it's the closeness that makes me exhale.

"Hey, could this be Master Tselli's left eye..."

"-!"

The door of the room opens at the same time that Zelicina unwittingly closes her eyes.

"What!?"

"Tselli, come see me - who is it?"

"Dear Solatique!

"Uh, Master Tselli's fiancée?

Walking with a large strand, Solatique forces Hisui off of Tsericina.

"What are you doing!!"

The cold voice of Solatique sounds, and Hisui distorts his expression in a troublesome way.

From the looks of it, it looked like Hisui was pushing down Zelicina. It would be natural for my fiancée, Solatique, to be angry.

"Dear Solatique, he is hissy. I'm a butler apprentice with me."

"It's awesome."

When Tsericina made the introduction for the first time, Hisui also lowered her name head.

But Solatique is not so easy to convince either.

"Deacon Apprentice...? Tselli's going to marry me soon, so you don't need a butler, do you?

"Until then, it is. He helped me when I was in trouble in the city."

"That's why there's no way I can miss things like this right now. Hisui, I will not condone it by the answer."

"Dear Solatique!

Without even listening to Zelicina stop, Solatique stuffs herself up to Hisui. You must be seriously angry because your right hand with the protection of the military god Tulle is touching that love sword.

The temper is sobering, and Zelicina is breathtaking.

(Why are you so angry about me that you don't even like me?

Zelicina tries to move to shelter Hisui, wondering if it is a man's pride, and he can stop it from Hisui himself.

"Hissy?"

"Nothing, I didn't do anything nasty. Just."

"Just - what?

Hisui opens his mouth and once he stops the words.

Move your gaze from Solatique to Tsericina and tell him, "Because it was beautiful".

"You, Tselli, are my fiancée."

"No. My eyes, they were beautiful"

"My eyes?

Sure, baby pink light colored eyes may be unusual.
