144 12. The Good Man, Desired




"Wow, this is ......
"Amazing mansion ......

 Flying back to the mansion with the magic of instantaneous travel.
 The sudden change in scenery startled and confused sisters Lily and Mari.

"Agnes.

 Then, summon a maid from the shadows.
 Agnes Member.

 She is the daughter of Viscount Member, one of the most popular maids in the world at one time.
 She is cheerful, positive, and straightforward.

 She's trustworthy, so when she goes out, she stays in the shadows and does things for you when you need her.

 The most trusted Amelia, who is also the head maid, often comes to the house.

 I called Agnes.

You wanted to see me, master?
Do you want to share a room with these two--do you want them to share a room? Or would you rather be separate?

 I didn't want to be the one to decide, so I asked for their opinion.

No, it's fine with me.

 Mari nodded, and Lily nodded.
 They both seem to be overwhelmed by the dukes' formal residence.

ÒOkay. Then Agnes, take Mari and show me your room. Lily stays.
I understand.

 Mari was taken by Agnes, and Lily stayed behind.
 She looks up at me curiously.

"There's someone I want to introduce you to first. For that job I mentioned earlier.
"--Yes!

 When he said he wanted to repay the favor, he wasn't lying or saying it in passing, but I know he meant it.
 Now, you're going to need Mia.

I'll get her.

 Eliza opens her mouth.
 We're already back in the mansion, but Eliza, while dressed as a man, is still speaking in man's language.

 As with the maid, don't go through the entire setup when you change your outfit.

Okay, please.
You two wait in the study.
"The study? Why?
Forget it.

 Eliza said this and strolled into the mansion.
 I'm not sure, but since Eliza said so, she must have something on her mind.

Let's go inside then.
"Yes!

 Please excuse my loud replies in reaction to my fears.
 I took her into the mansion.

 As soon as I enter the mansion, I see Angel.

Oh, welcome home, Mr. Alec!

 Like a friendly puppy, Angier came running up to me in a flurry.
 You can't help but smile at the sight of Angel.

I'm back. Angel.
How about this one?
Yeah, today I'm going to live in the house. His name is Lily.
Really. Nice to meet you, my name is Angelica Silva.
"Uh, Lilly--Ugh!

 Just as I was about to call out to Angel, Lily cowered again, holding her face.
 The interval between seizures was surprisingly short.

 Understanding the situation, I was angry but calm, but not Angier.

Are you all right?

 Unaware of the situation, Angier reached out to the cowering Lily and tried to wake her up.

 A plop!
 Juice dripped from Lily's face and onto Angel's hand.

Let go of me!
Please stay put.

 Lilly, lightly traumatized, tried to push Angier away, but Angier quietly but nonchalantly interrupted her with a tone of voice.

 Unmoved by the sight of Lily's face, melted down, Angier gently touched it with his hand.
 The hand glows.

 A soft, warm, healing magical light.

It doesn't work. ...... Sir Alec!
It's okay.
"Huh?

 A puzzled Angel.
 Meanwhile, my recovery was triggered.

 This time it's the one I put on Lily.

 It worked, and Lilly's face was back to normal.

Hey.
It's true ...... that Alec-sama was already cured.
Yes. Oh, it's going to happen again in the future, so you don't have to worry about seeing that.


I understand.

 Even as she used her healing magic, the seriousness of her expression faded and she returned to her usual gentle and cheerful expression of Angier.

"Um, ......, where is this one?

 Meanwhile, sensing something in the air between her and Angel, Lily, who hadn't asked anything when the maid Agnes came out, asked fearfully.

'My bride, Agnes. We haven't had a wedding yet, but we're practically in the front room.
"Oh, that was your wife! Ahhh!

 Surprised, and then screaming, tries to wipe the stuff on Angel's hands.

I'm sorry! I've messed with your wife's hands with this stuff!
I'll be fine. I know it's harder on your face than it is on your face, but Alec won't leave you in that state for no reason, so you'll have to trust him.
"Yes, yes

 It's interesting to see Lily's trepidation at the much younger Angel, but more importantly, I was curious about Angel's words.

You know exactly what I'm talking about, Ange, I'm daring you to do it.
"Yes! Because it's Mr. Alec.
Hmm?
"If you're serious, Alec, you can do anything you want. Injury? Sick? I'm sure you have some deep thoughts about why you don't heal all at once.
"I see. Thank you Angier.

 Reach out and stroke Angel's head.
 Angel squints happily.

 A deep understanding and 100% trust.
 It was heartbreaking to see that Angier was looking at me.

     .

 I said goodbye to Angel, who said he was going to Calamity's, and entered the house with Lily.

Hey, brother-in-law?
"I've been here, Hosen.
"Oh. Whoa? You've got a very pretty girl with you.

 Encountered in the hallway, Hossen is still as dynamic as ever.
 The stare will frighten Lily again.

......

 He was not, but was staring back at Hossen calmly and resolutely.

"She's not only pretty, she's strong. She's a nice girl.
Yeah, I think so.
My brother-in-law is good enough for you, but I need a more beautiful woman. The only thing my brother-in-law lacks now is the smell of meth.

 It's a very Horsen-like blatant thing to do.
 I've known Hossen for a long time, so I'm used to it.

"......

 I glanced at Lily and saw that she looked unhappy.
 In the absence of trepidation and bashfulness, she was more responsive to the blunt words of Hossen, the heroic type.

'I guess that's just the way it is, isn't it?
"That's what my brother-in-law is like now.

 Horsen suddenly drew his twin swords and wrote something on the wall.

 First a regular pentagon, then a warped pentagon superimposed on the pentagon.

 It's a graph of a pentagon that you draw to evaluate something.
 The graph is oddly shaped, with up to four far beyond the limit and one at almost zero.

"This is my brother-in-law now. Power, magic--that's a pain in the ass. All of his abilities are beyond human.

 That's a hell of a compliment.

"But here, here is the only thing missing.

 Horsen thumped his graph on the lesser ability.

'More women, my brother-in-law is perfect and invincible.
That's what it's all about, isn't it?
"Oh, look at me.

 Hossen said with authority.
 Yes, I think it's somehow more convincing when it's said by Hossen, the heroic type.

 I don't want to mention that I went to a brothel today but I didn't buy anything (、、、、、、).
 I feel that Hossen is going to be disappointed with you.

 All Hossen had to do was say it and walked away with a big smile.

 That's just like him.

 And then.

You know..." ......
Hmm?
Let me return the favor and I'll do anything I can to help.

 Lilly was also Lilly-like.
