I came back to my room with Sherry and Leena in tow.
"Wow, so this is Leo's room. It doesn't look any different than my room.
They were watching my room as soon as I got transferred in.
That's because we live in the same school dorm.
On the other hand, I'm surprised it's not a larger room because it's the royal family .
'Is that so? My room is a little smaller.
'Really? Well, yeah.
Leena's not a nobleman in this country.
But she's been treated like a marquis.
Master Leo, welcome back. You're back early.
We were having a conversation when Belle came out from the back.
"Oh, I'm home, Belle. Yeah, it went faster than I thought it would.
'Is that so ...... that ......, how about you two?'
Oh, yeah. You guys hadn't met yet.
They were "Leo's fiancée.
As I was about to answer, Shelly told Belle to intimidate me.
Hmm? What's up, Shelly?
'Well, um, ...... you know the names, but it's Shelia and Rihanna.
Anyway, I told Belle about the two of them .
'Oh, I didn't know that. I'm sorry. Well, I'll go now.
Belle apologized politely and walked off into the back .
From the look on her face, she didn't seem to care that much about Shelly.
"Hey, Leo?
Yes, yes, what can I do for you?
Shelly today, I'm kind of scared: .......
What did I do?
What is she?
What do you mean ...... my personal maid?
Maybe you're jealous?
Is that so. And you seem to be quite fond of him for that?
Oh, Lena's in the game.
You two don't stand a chance.
Hey, why don't you two calm down. Belle's been taking care of me since I was a little girl, she's like family to me.
We're all in this together, right?
Family ......
Family? Then why does she have the same necklace as us!
I didn't know you were watching that part!
How do I explain that to you: ......?
'What? Oh, that reminds me . Well, ...... when we first met, I built it for you in return for showing you some rare magic while I was showing you my creation magic.
If I remember correctly, it was.
Unusual magic? What kind of magic can she do? Magic that could only be used by beastmen?
That's right. Belle can do beast magic, magic that can make your body look like a beast.
'Yes. ...... So, if you gave that to her, did you do to her what I did to my teacher today?'
What did Shelly do to the teacher?
Ah, magic manipulation: .......
I didn't do it. Belle had learned to manipulate magic before she came to us.
'What? Leo didn't tell you? Then who taught you?
Shelly had a surprised look on her face .
Come to think of it, Belle was the first person outside of the hero's circle who could use magic control.
'Belle said she learned it at the orphanage.
The orphanage: ...... Yes, that's right: ......
An orphanage? Um, the little orphanage on the edge of the Imperial City?
I don't know about that, but ......
I mean, on the contrary, how does Leena know about the orphanage?
I think so. I've been there once. The director seemed to get along with the grandmothers.
With your grandmothers?
Oh, yeah.
Then it's no wonder Bell can control magic.
If she's acquainted with the brave man, she can at least control his magic.
Hey! I'm getting off track!
Leena and I were talking, and Shelly interrupted us.
'Well, ...... what were we talking about?'
It's ...... that, well, what kind of relationship does a maid named Belle or something like that have with Leo?
Are we going to go back to that again?
Oh, yes, that's right. But didn't you say they were like family?
But then Leena helped me out.
'Are you sure about that? You could be lying to me!
Shelly, please calm down for a moment.
Calm down? On the other hand, how can Leena stay calm? Leo, Leo could be taken, you know? Taken: ......
Sherry started to cry as she yelled at Leena .
Oh, I made her cry: .......
What do I do: ......
I'm sorry . I can't believe Shelly thought that: ....... I'm so sorry.
After much thought, he hugged the crying Shelly and apologized.
Anything you say here is not going to make a difference.
Then you have to apologize honestly.
"You don't forgive me. You're going to have to hold me until I stop crying.
Shelly said and put her face on my chest and began to cry .
'Yes ......'
I had no right to say anything, so I obeyed.
"I'll do it later. I'll be at Miss Bell's.
'What? Oh, yeah.
I thought about stopping her, but all I could do was look away with Shelly in my embrace .
Then Shelly calmed down a bit and started talking.
'Hey, Leo ......'
What?
You'd rather have a maid than me, wouldn't you?
What is the correct answer to this ......?
Should I tell it like it is? .......
'It's not true . I consider Belle to be family, but I'm not going to marry her like Shelly or Reena . The only two people I'm engaged to are Shelly and Leena.
Yes ......, can you believe that?
Then she turned her eyes, which had turned red from crying, to me.
