"So what can I do for you? Is your uncle still trying to get me back, by any chance?
No way. Dad's already given up.

 Eruka shrugged her shoulders in disgust.
 You'll be able to take a gulp of the tea and put it back on the table.

You can't be a lone wolf like you and hold a post in the academy. It would be much more productive to have you wander around and present your research results.
Oh, so you finally get it.
Well, you finally get it, don't you?

 Eluca glared at Allen with a stare.
 Charlotte discreetly tugged on Allen's sleeve.

You're an uncle to Allen, but you're a father to your sister?
"Yeah. I told you, she's my sister-in-law. We're not blood related.

 Allen indicated Eruca with his chin.
 Actually, she and Allen don't look much alike. The only thing they have in common is their hair color, but while Eruca's is black, Allen's is half black and half white.

"I lost my parents when I was a child. I lost my parents when I was very young and was taken in by a distant relative, the Crawfords. Eruka is their daughter. She's the same age as you.
"Oh, I didn't know that. ...... Sorry. I didn't mean to pry into your family's affairs.
I don't mind. It's not like I need to know.
No, I'm still very confused about it.

 Eruka stared at Charlotte with a pouty face.

Who is this person? I'm not sure.
It's ......!

 At that moment, Charlotte's face turned bright red up to her ears.
 She panicked and looked at Allen and Eruca in turn.

No, I'm not! I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm going to have to.
That's right, Eluca. Don't be rude.
"What?

 Charlotte looks back as if shocked for some reason.
 I'm not sure what to say.

I'm sure Charlotte would feel repugnant if she were misunderstood as being in love with such a personality-disrupting social misfit and a scheming genius wizard. For the sake of her honor, I'll make sure to deny that.
I don't think that way, okay?
I don't think so!" "You have an overly perfect self-esteem sometimes, don't you?

 Eruka stroked her chin curiously and stared at Allen and Charlotte.

If not her, then who? I'm not sure what to do.
"Well, that's .......

 Naturally, Charlotte is at a loss for an answer.
 Naturally, Charlotte was at a loss for an answer, but Allen made it easy for her.

"This is Charlotte Evans. She's a wanted woman who escaped from a neighboring country.
"Hey, Mr. Allen?
"Oh, ......?

 I don't understand." To Eruca's confusion, Allen gave her a brief rundown of what had happened so far.

 She had been forced to leave her country for a crime she did not commit. He was currently hiding her and teaching her various 'naughty things'.

 When the explanation was over, Charlotte turned pale and asked Allen.

I'm not sure if that's a good idea ......?
I'm sure he'll figure it out on his own. I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.
But it's your sister. ...... You should be worried about Allen. ......

 Charlotte looked at Eruka with concern.
 It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.  

I always thought that ...... you were an idiot, but you're not. You're an idiot.
"Oh. Why is that?
That's obvious!

 Eruka stuck her index finger firmly at Allen.

It's not about giving her food or letting her beat herself up, ...... it's about teaching her something naughty that will make her happy!
I'm not sure if that's the point.
