Natalia shrugged her shoulders and said, "Of course.

I don't think my family will interfere with me now, and if they do, they'll probably send me a more straightforward and less interesting teacher. I was just trying to make sure.
I'm flattered that you believe me. By the way, what would you have done if you had found out it was your parents who were behind it?
I would have sent him away. Of course.

　Natalia bites into her hamburger and says plainly.
　She ate wildly, not caring if her mouth was stained with sauce.

I can't stand the idea of being related to that family. We have to get rid of the pests for the sake of our mental health.
Pests. ...... Sounds like you really hate your parents' house.
Yeah. I get chills just thinking about the blood in my veins.

　Natalia smiles a thin smile at the edge of her sauce-covered mouth.

We are a typical aristocracy in name only. My father is only interested in keeping the family alive, and my mother is a trifling woman who is only proud of the fact that she gave birth to me. The servants are all mere idlers. It's really a trivial house.
No, don't say that. ......
Of course I have the right to say it. She's never even picked me up or read me a story. How can she be a mother?

　Natalia's words are harsh, but they do not sound heartbroken.
　It was easy to see that she was deeply dismayed and dismissive. After that, she continued to munch on junk food, using her family's sarcasm as a snack.

(Hmmm, looks like a long standing grudge has exploded here.

　I've been raised to be a butterfly and a flower, but suddenly I've been sent to a remote island. I thought that's why he's not good enough. ...... Apparently, he's been overwhelmed with resentment towards his parents for a long time. He even vented it to Allen, whom he met yesterday and today. He must have been very upset about it.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who's a bit of a jerk.
"...... That's one thing. If you have magic, most things can be done in this world.

　After a few moments of hesitation, Natalia assured him.
　It's not just a rebellion, it's a decision. It's not something to be taken lightly.

(Then how do you feel about Charlotte, ......?

　Father, mother, and servants.
　That's all Natalia has to say badly. She waits and waits, but there is no sign of her sister's name.
　So Allen decides to try the scythe.
　He nodded and nodded to Natalia's complaint, and when the time was right, he said.

I heard about your sister. I heard about your sister, too. I think her name was Sha--

　Then Allen stopped talking.
　He had to.

　Natalia had stopped eating and was staring at him.
　In her crimson eyes, there was a cold fire that froze her. With a look of pure murder that left even Allen speechless, Natalia said simply, "I will never use that name again.

Don't ever speak that name in front of me again. It makes me uncomfortable.
"...... Understood.

　Allen raised his hands in the air and paused to comply.
　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

(It is fortunate that Charlotte is not here at this time. (It's fortunate that Charlotte-sama is not here at this time, as she seems to have a lot on her mind.
I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what it is you're thinking about.

　Is it a grudge of a different kind from your parents', or is it a different emotion?
　Until we find out, it would be better to avoid having her meet Charlotte directly.
　At that point, Natalia shut her mouth completely and picked at the remaining French fries in silence. She could feel the distance that had almost been drawn between them opening up again.

(I knew this was going to be difficult.)

　As he slurped down the stretched ramen, Allen muttered in his mind.
　It was just at that time. Just then, uninvited guests approached the table they were sitting at.

"Hey, isn't that Natalia there?
"Hmm?
