Then one evening.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After dinner, when everyone was having their own time. I was in the garden of Clarice's mansion, preparing Codolis baked goods for the next day.

The key to customer satisfaction is how much you can prepare in advance for the busy time of the day.

It is never enough to fill up on just one skewer, so don't make them wait too long.

It's a strange aroma, isn't it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

At that moment, a voice suddenly called out to me from behind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mitra, is that you?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mitra was standing behind me, covering her blind eyes with a cloth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Are you sure it's safe to come out here?　It's dangerous, don't go too close to the fire."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mitra rarely comes out of her room, except for meal times.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He can move around in this mansion with no problem, but he probably doesn't like to move around much in the first place.

'I smelled a strange aroma. I was a little curious..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Do you want some?　This is the herb-roasted codfish that Clarice was talking about at dinner.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I see... I'll have one of those.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I took a simple chair and desk out of storage for Mitra and asked her to sit down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you very much.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't want her to stagger from the deliciousness of the food while eating it standing up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Right next to us, a fire is still burning to roast additional coddlis.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The heat would give some idea of the direction of the fire, but still, for a blind girl, everything would be dangerous.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'I am used to it, sir, so please don't take it too hard on me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well...okay."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Come to think of it, I haven't really had a proper conversation with Mitra.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mitra took a bite of the herb-roasted cod roast.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It tastes strange. It tastes somehow nostalgic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, it doesn't. I remember my mother used to make a dish that tasted similar to this one. Perhaps I'm just imagining things.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes," he said. This is something my wife mixed for this occasion. Perhaps... there is an original flavor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, you have a wife?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, she's too good for me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When I said this, Mitra looked down a little and fell silent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It seemed like a strange silence, so I continued talking anyway.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I heard Mitra is getting married soon. I heard from Clarice. Congratulations to ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was so happy to hear that," she said. Thank you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then there was silence again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Did I say something bad...?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Clarice had been worried about Mitra for some time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

She had gone on dangerous expeditions to save her mana for that purpose.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I hope this will make everyone happy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Clarice told Burgess that she was a woman and asked him to marry her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Although that has been put on hold, they still seem to be on good terms.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I have a feeling that Burgess is getting more comfortable with the fact that Clarice is a girl, so perhaps it's just a matter of time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sure it's just a matter of time," he said. I have to stop Clarice from getting involved in any more dangerous things for me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I guess so."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The way he said that made me feel a little caught up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you for dinner.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Saying that, Mitra turned to go back to her room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When she got up from the chair, she seemed to stagger a little.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I put out my hand to support her back.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I put my hand out to support her back. Shall I walk you back to your room?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The one with the wife. The one who has a wife... a daughter just before she gets married?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, it's not like that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Don't worry, I can go back alone."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Saying that, Mitra walked a little and put her hand on the wall of the mansion. From there, she began to walk along the wall through the garden.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I am sorry, Mr. Albus. I know you meant no harm..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The apology must have been for refusing to be his chaperone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No. I'm the one who's sorry. I am the one who is sorry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I will find my own happiness. I want Clarice to be happy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'I must not be a fetter on her forever. I will be me... and I will find my own happiness under the nobleman Jimmy Radiak."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ah...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I felt a slight stirring at the familiar name of the nobleman.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Jimmy Radiak.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He was a nobleman in the village of Yak who wanted to take Puddin as his wife in exchange for the cancellation of Arcana's debt.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

His marriage proposal was almost blackmail.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I had this memory of him, so I knew he was not a good guy...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I can't say anything bad about him because I didn't actually meet him or know him or anything like that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

To the present Mitra and Clarice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It must be Jimmy Radiak who is offering a helping hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'It's nothing,' he said. I hope everyone finds happiness for everyone."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes...yes."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

For a moment, I was lost.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I decided not to say anything that would put a damper on the happiness of Mitra and Clarice.
