Hey, stop following me!

'Yikes!　Ugh, I'm sorry, mom.

　There's a little girl getting slapped in the face by a female elf about my age in front of me. The girl with a blue right eye and a red left eye. Is this ... me when I was little?

　I don't know if I'm dreaming. I haven't seen that much lately. I don't know my father's face or my mother's face. The elven woman in front of me now is probably my mother, but I can't see her because of the haze on her face.

　Come to think of it, the other one was my brother. My brother would beat me up every day, too. Back then, I didn't even know why he was hitting me. I just kept getting beaten up and apologizing, and then I kept getting beaten up and apologizing, and the next thing I knew I was being dumped.

　By the time I was dumped, I'm pretty sure I had a new baby, right?　A girl, I think. So I was abandoned in the forest as a nonentity.

　I wandered around in the forest for days and managed to eat with nuts and weeds, and then I met Sylphid-sama.

　After that, he took me to Nanor so fast, and taught me magic, and I was even able to get the prestigious position of head of the magic division in the Nanor Kingdom.

　After that, though, I had to quit when my eyes were found out.

　........Come to think of it, why do I keep remembering my old memories? I've never thought about it before.

"You disgrace our family!　Why are you alive?

　◇ ◇ ◇.

'Huh!　.......................Ha, ha. ...I knew it was because I met my brother.

　I remember what happened after the meeting was over. All the guards of the kings of each country were gathered in the conference room, but I was with Fee and the others.

　And since the meeting was over, I met them when I went to pick them up. I had forgotten all about it, but my brother seemed to remember it.

　But I didn't expect my brother to be representing the elves as an escort. There are a lot of elves out there, so why is your brother there.......

''Are you awake?''

What?

　As I was looking at the ceiling and thinking, I suddenly heard a voice from the side. I looked at the direction of the voice and saw Ray, sitting in a chair, reading a book. Just with a scar patch on his left cheek.

'Ray-kun, what are you doing here?　I mean, where are we?　And what about that left cheek injury?

''Well, first of all, this room is a room in the mansion where I live now. Mr. Merlin fainted and I had to carry him here. Then I waited for Mr. Merlin to wake up. The left cheek is, well, never mind. It's my quedge. Is it better than that?　I was pretty woozy, though?

　Ray-kun is smiling bitterly as he scratches his right cheek. Hmmm, looking at Ray-kun's smile, the mood I was feeling depressed about a while ago is starting to get better. Come to think of it, you were the first person to tell me that my eyes are beautiful, Ray-kun.

　And then you were having blackouts, right? It must have been a dream. Ray-kun also looks at me anxiously. I wonder if he's worried about me.

Thank you for your concern. But I'm fine. Anyway, let's get to the requirements. You didn't want to be here just to see me sleep, did you?

　I chuckle and say that, and Ray-kun awaits. I'm not allowed to see Lady's sleeping face, but I'm glad I got to see Ray-kun's panic.

'Gohon!　Well, you see, the reason I'm here, as I said before, I was waiting for Mr. Merlin to wake up. I just wanted to talk to you for a few minutes.

　Then, Lei-kun starts talking to me with a serious expression on his face. I could only nod my head in admiration at Ray-kun's serious face. Cool..........

　◇ ◇ ◇ ◇.

Hmm, I guess a day of cold weather isn't going to make the swelling go away.

　I look in the mirror and touch the swelling on my left cheek. It hurts. Normally I would use the water magic method to heal the injury, but this injury is not something that can be healed so easily.

　This wound was made yesterday when I talked to the pope and was beaten. As for me, I knew I was going to get hit, so I didn't say anything and he hit me.

　Caro is going to have a hard time today, you know. This doesn't excuse me, but it's another way to settle the score.

　Then I'm getting dressed and ready to go when there's a knock at the door. As I answer, the door is opened and to my surprise, it's Caro who walks in. Normally it would be Krona coming in.

'Caro. What the hell is going on?

'Hmm, I asked Krona to change things up in the morning.

　With that, Caro comes into the room. Then she blurts out a hug.

'Caro?'

"I'm sorry. I agreed to it yesterday, but I was still scared.

　If you look closely, Caro's body was trembling. That's right. Caro had been going through a lot of hard times with her eyes so far.

'Caro, I said that yesterday, but do you still want me to stop?'

　I ask, and Caro shakes her head to the side. Then she looks at me with determined eyes.

'I'm coming too. If it's just as Ray told your father yesterday, then I, that Merlin, and the Odd Eye people who are about to come out of this won't have to go through a hard time. I'll take this mask off too, if that's what it takes to prove it.

　With that, Caro took the mask she had on her face and tossed it behind her. In front of me was Caro's beautiful, bare face, which I was already familiar with.

　I loved Caro so much that I hugged and kissed her around the waist. I hope this makes me a little less anxious.




Do you feel better now?

　I smile at Caro and ask her, and she turns red and puffs out her cheeks in a sultry way. I whisper.

Not another little b*tc*.

　But his hands are squeezing my clothes. She's so cute, already!

　When I was making out with Caro like that, four dark, glowing lights that I could see through the doorway. If I looked closely, I could see that they were eyes.

　It was Alexia and Krona who were looking at me with jittery eyes. Alexia was greeting me in the morning, and Krona must have come to want to do something after all.

　The two of them noticed that I had noticed, and they opened the door with a bang and hugged me tightly.

'It's not fair, Caro!　You just need a hug like that!

'Yes!　I can't forgive you for crying out because Caro-sama said she had something she really wanted to talk to Ray-sama about, and I cried out and gave her the care of Ray-sama!

"Huh, Alexia and Krona. It's like this ... the sooner you get there, the better.

　Caro is laughing like a villain with his hands level under his chin, Ohohohoho, and laughing... was that the kind of character he was?

　But there was no longer a trace of anxiety left on Caro's face as Alexia and Krona rubbed her down.
