「Ohhh, that’s harsh…」
I agree vehently with the little mutterings from overhead. Because it’s so scary scary. I am horrified, no joke, when I imagine this being directed at .
But honestly, I’m thinking,『Suck it up.』Besides, he had been criticized so harshly. I breathed out a sigh of relief that Raul’s ambush and other annoyances would end. Douglas-sama glanced at and then imdiately patted on the head as if to comfort with a pom.
I was glad he felt that way, but I felt as if he was treating like a child, which made a little sensitive. And he always strokes for a long ti and with a little too much force. My hair gets ssed up and I don’t want my head swung around. But my hand imdiately retracted and I tilted my head.
I felt nothing but discomfort that Douglas-sama, who always stopped no matter how much I disliked it, would stop when I didn’t say anything.
「?」
I looked up at him with a question mark in my mind, and he looked down at with a subtle expression on his face, then turned his head toward Ryniel-sama and the others as if urging to do so. I tilted my head further and turned my head in that direction, too, and Ryniel-sama looked at as if he had sothing in his eyes. And Raul was reprimanded and turned his head down, but the look that peeked out of him made cling to Douglas-sama’s sleeve involuntarily.
I guess you could call it an expressionless face with no will, inhabited by a dark light. But the expression is fleeting. It was only at that mont when his gaze really t mine that Raul looked down again, and when he looked up again, he had the familiar theatrical look of anguish on his face.
「Ahh… oh dear lord…」
With full and trembling hands on his chest, the theater of smugness began again, as if to say how his heart was in pain. I wonder if I misjudged that look I saw earlier. I feel a strange unease.
「What are you saying?」
I ca back to myself with a huff at Ryniel-sama’s line, not noticing Raul’s expression.
Indeed, after being reprimanded, he suddenly found himself in a theatrics of self-indulgence and not knowing the context of the conversation, so this question was a natural one.
「Does Captain Ryniel not think anything of it when she sees the Commander and the others?」
「No, not really.」
Raul shook his head as if he was not convinced, and for so reason began to lant.
「Ahh, why, Marsha. I trusted you…! Why…! You would do such a thing as to shoot my heart rcilessly through with an arrow of frozen ice!」
Raul, as if dizzy, stepped out of his bellows, and there was a mont of silence.
「「「………………Huh?」」」
I think the three of us were of one mind when the aning of the words finally reached our brains.
「…Frosty ice arrows, you say?」
The repeated lines of Raoul spun by Ryniel-sama, buhah—!! I blew it out of my mind. That’s right, I blew it out in a big way. I also said that all the excitent I had felt in Raul’s face, which I had never seen before, was blown away by this line.
I know what it ans, even if only vaguely. It’s an appeal to say that he is deeply hurt by my rejection, isn’t it? I get it, but I’ve never seen anyone shalessly ntion it in real life, not if it’s used in a play or poem! Y–Yeah, we didn’t mishear him just now. Ryniel-sama repeated it, so there’s no way we heard it wrong, that’s right. Buhhuhuhu, eh, is he serious? Oh no, soone praise for not gushing!
「Yes! My heart bleeds with every attack.」
Raul continues to lant, aside from the whirlwind of laughter that blows up in my mind.
「Captain Ryniel, it is true that she may not accept even if I take the necessary steps as you ntioned! No matter how much I wanted to, her stubborn heart would reject .」
“Don’t laugh, don’t laugh!” I think so, and yet every ti Raul speaks up, a grand paroxysm of laughter hits . He was so desperate that if he uttered a single word, I would start laughing. There was no way I could stop Raul from screaming in embarrassnt. I could see that Douglas-sama was laughing as well at the shiver that wasn’t mine, transmitted from the arm that I had casually grabbed.
「I am aware that this rejection was caused by my past conduct!」
Oh, you are aware of it, aren’t you? Or rather, you are aware of it and you are doing this. Normally, he would be ashad of himself and stay away from , but I guess it can’t be helped because he’s a flower man who spouts such embarrassing lines, fufufu.
The more Raul acts out his grief, the more my abdominal muscles are exercised.
「It is my sin to have locked Masha’s heart in a box of thorns…!」
「「…………urk!!!!!!!!!!」」
Box of thorns——! Buhahahahahahah! Hey, hey, what, what is that “my heart in a box of thorns” about? Eh, when did my heart get trapped in that box of thorns, fufufu.
I’m afraid that and Douglas-sama are about to blow up any minute now. Douglas-sama pokes with his elbow, telling not to laugh, so as not to be noticed by the surrounding onlookers, but I poke him back in the sa way. Ryniel-sama is too aweso to hear that line up close and not blow it out of the water.
「That is why I am obligated to remove Marsha’s thorns. I am rather proud that only I can do that. In other words, it is a heaven-sent test for !」
A Test From Heaven!!
「No matter how much the thorns hurt , I was willing to accept the hurt for her sake. But…!」
Raul looks at with his eyebrows tightly knit and tear-stained eyes. No, his gaze is not only on , but also on Douglas-sama. At that mont, I had a further fit of laughter and quickly hid myself behind Douglas-sama’s back.
「It is not thorns attacking …! It is a blade of mindless ice…!」
Ugh, just stop! He had shifted from arrows to blades! It makes so much sense that my stomach muscles are on the verge of collapse!!
I had no idea what Raul ant. It was amazing that he seed to be able to communicate with Ryniel-sama because he was able to carry on a conversation with him. And what is this sight?
But the question was answered by Raul’s next words.
「She and the commander are apparently in an unusual relationship!」
「「Haah!?」」
My mouth fell open. And it was an unladylike big mouth. If I hadn’t been hiding behind Douglas-sama’s back, I would’ve had to expose my face in a most unbelievably embarrassing manner.
I could see many of the hidden gazes around and Douglas-sama concentrating on .
