Noelia's Point of View


　It had been ten days since I had returned to the Yuguhanotes' mansion, and in a short period of time, a lot ...... of things had really happened.

　Master Flick's explanation didn't get the point across, so instead I just explained to your father what had happened, and when I returned to my room, I was exhausted and collapsed into bed.


''Huh, I managed to get you to admit to the matter of Dimol and the demon sword ...... I knew that the deciding factor was that Flick-sama had defeated the demon beast Cerberus.


　While lying on the bed, he thought back to the scene where Flick-sama had activated his magic sword to defeat the demonic beast Cerberus.

　With the idea of a magic sword, an idea that never occurred to him, Master Flick easily defeated Cerberus, the magical beast of the Magical Forest that the people of Yggkhanotes had feared.


　Truly amazing ...... He might be the one who will surpass his father, who is called a hero in the future .......

　That's how talented he is.

　When it comes to magic, it's not surprising that he's a once-in-a-century gem.


　Lately, I've been spending more and more time thinking about such Flick-sama.

　No, rather than increasing, you could say that I'm thinking about him at all hours of the day and night.


　From the time I wake up in the morning until I go to bed at night, my gaze continues to follow Frick-sama for most of the time.

　I understand that he doesn't like me because of the first time, but I just couldn't stop following him.


　Nevertheless, he took a scenic flight with me in Dimol at Master Gawain's place.

　Really, at that time, I was so nervous that his face was so close to mine that he was holding me to keep me from falling off the Dimol, and I was sweating weirdly all over my body.


　But I was too happy to be with him, even if it was only for a short time.

　It made me feel like my body was still on fire when I came back. I even got the extra dignity of Flick-sama, who thought I had caught a cold and carried me to bed with him.


　I was already so happy that I thought I was going to pass out as it was, but I managed to endure it.


　After such a happy thing had happened in Master Gawain's workshop, he went back to the inn in the Huguenots.


　Remembering him, he took out his cloak, still on loan, hidden under the bed and sniffed it.

　One breath was all it took to calm me down.


'Huh ...... I should have had a relationship with him where I could say I love him normally ......'

'Wouldn't it be better if you told me?　I'm glad to see that Master Noelia has grown up to be a proper romantic person.


　I was caught off guard to see if anyone was in my room, but Susana, my personal maid, was standing by my bedside before I knew it.


　Susana saw me sniffing Master Flick's cloak: .......


　My body froze at the sight of someone I wasn't expecting at all.


'I started seeing Noelia-sama as a playmate, and already twenty years ...... of being a magic nerd, Noelia-sama has been becoming more feminine lately.


　Susana nodded to herself with an oomph.

　She was dressed in a maid's outfit, with her purple hair pulled up and her brown eyes looking at me, she was a maid from a family of vassals who had served the Enestrosa family for a long time.


　Since she is five years older than you, you grew up together as your playmate, and she has served you as your personal maid since she came of age.

　The relationship between her and her employer is one of employer and maid, but in reality, she is like an older sister to me.


　I quickly hid Master Flick's cloak under the bed and told Susana what I had just seen.


Susana, please keep this to your father. Master Fricke doesn't like you for free, and it would make him feel even more offended if your father rattled on about it.

I understand. I know that Noelia-sama is planning to marry someone else, but with Lloyd's temperament, she won't be able to marry for the rest of her life. Also, I won't tell you that I smelled the cloak your highness was wearing.

～～～～, Susana!


　Once again, Susana put into words what she was doing, and my whole body was on fire with embarrassment.


'So spring has finally come to Noelia-sama. This Susana, she's about to whimper and cry with joy.''


　Susana, who holds her eyes at the edge of her apron, has been suggesting marriage to me, a woman who has been devoted to adventuring and studying magic.


It's not ...... that Master Flick is that kind of subject.


　As I said this, Susana grabbed me by the shoulders as I sat on the bed.


'You can't drop your lordship with that kind of cynicism!　You can't increase breasts that you don't have, but if you change your makeup and gestures, Noelia-sama is a good source of original material, and Flick-sama should be very happy about it.

'Mmm, you can't help the breasts. ...... is different. No, that's why Mr. Fricke isn't the target.

Do you think you can fool me with my eyes?


　Jiroli and Susana's brown eyes glare at me.

　I've grown up with her since we were young, and no matter what she hides, she can see through everything.


　I couldn't argue with her any further, and I was puffing up my cheeks with a 'phew'.


"How about advising Lloyd-sama to set up a table to honor those who have contributed to the defeat of the demonic beast Cerberus and calling on Flick-sama? It would be perfect if Noelia, dressed and made up, could entertain Flick at that table. Let's go from the usual tasteless sorcerer's robes to a well-dressed lady.

Do I give Master Fricke my hospitality?

Yes, who else is here?

Impossible, impossible, unreasonable!　If you do that, they'll definitely hate you!


　Seeing me rejecting the proposal, Susana let out a sigh, 'Huh.


''Then I will help you. So, is that all right?


　If Susana could advise me on things next to ...... maybe I could provide hospitality without making Master Flick uncomfortable.

　Would that make me feel a little less uncomfortable being near him?


　Susana's suggestion fills me with a hazy feeling inside.

　It's frustrating for me to be swept up in emotions I never felt until I was this age.


　If I could go back, I'd like to go back to the day I first met Mr. Fricke: .......

　I'm not sure why I did such a foolish act of combining magical powers and watching over their lives, but I'm ashamed to say that I did.


　I've been thinking about that, and tears were pouring from my eyes.

　I didn't want Susana to see my crying face, so I covered my face with my hands and couldn't stop crying.


'Hey, why are you crying?　Are you so loath to entertain Master Fricke's hospitality?

'No, no. I'm not crying, and I'd like to entertain Mr. Fricke: ......


　When I said that, Susana hugged me and patted my head.


'Yeah, I see. I'm sure Noelia-sama has a good love affair with you. I will do my best to help you fulfill that love.


　Afterwards, he and Susana proposed to your father to hold a banquet to honor Flick-sama, who was an honorable man for the defeat of the magical beast Cerberus.

　Your father was a little reluctant to hear that I would be hosting a banquet for Master Flick, but Mais and Susana pushed me to agree to it, and he reluctantly agreed.
