Kamiel was in a slightly excited mood today.

He even hums a song that he normally doesn’t sing.

Maybe I was a lot excited, not just a little.

‘Will you like this book too?’

The reason why Kamiel did this was in the book he held dearly in his arms.

This book was one of the books that Camiel read with great emotion.

So. I was planning to recommend it to you as well.

Immediately after finishing reading this book yesterday, Kamiel was counting down the time to go to Leasian.

And finally. It’s time.

He arrived in front of her door, walking faster than usual, and knocked on the door.

smart.

“Come in.”

It was always the same words of acceptance, but Camiel’s complexion brightened just because he heard her voice.

“Good afternoon. Miss.”

“Okay… however. Are you doing something good?”

“Yes?”

He was about to sit down on the chair when he stopped.

Was it obvious like that?

“Haha… . That’s a bit much. Yes.”

Kamiel sat down on the chair and smiled awkwardly.

Is it because this is the first time he looks this excited since he came to the mansion?

Rheasian was curious and asked as he bit into a cookie.

“What’s going on? Tell me.”

“Yes? Well, it’s not a big deal”

“Tell me.”

“Not real… ”

“I told you to speak?”

The more Kamiel tried to ignore her, the more uncomfortable she became.

‘Are you saying you have a secret you can’t tell me? what?’

Crispy –

Leasian got irritated and chewed the cookie roughly.

Kamiel thought about that for a moment, then lowered his head and said.

“That… It’s done… .”

“What? I can not hear you. Again.”

“… … crab … So.”

“It’s too small? speak loudly. What can you hear if you speak in a voice that is drowning out everything?”

“Oh, I was looking forward to meeting you.”

He seemed shy and even stuttered.

Leasian stared at him blankly, forgetting about the cookie in his hand.

The beautifully flushed cheek was so cute that I wanted to bite it.

‘No, what was I thinking…’ .’

“Yeah, really? Is that so?”

“Yes… … .”

There was silence.

Kamiel held his face in silence.

It wasn’t a particularly strange thing to say, but when I actually tried to say it, it seemed strange.

So, he didn’t want to talk, but he couldn’t resist her bullying and ended up talking.

‘As expected, I’m somehow embarrassed… .’

In reality, I just wanted to introduce the book quickly.

As I belatedly explained this situation, her face darkened.

‘Why do you seem so sullen?’

Is it because of my mood?

The two were awkward for a while.

After returning to their usual track, they chatted briefly and finally came up with the topic of books.

“What book did you bring?”

“In the master’s study… ”

“Hey.”

“Yes?”

“Who is the owner?”

The voice suddenly became cold.

‘What did I do wrong?’

Kamiel tilted his head and said the right thing.

“Well, your father is… ”

“Don’t call me that. I’d rather call you father like that.”

“Anyway, that’s a little… Ah yes. That’s what I’ll call it.”

It was difficult to accept the young lady’s words, but I couldn’t help it because her expression changed as if something was really going to happen.

“Do not think of my father as your master, not only in front of me but also when you think about him in everyday life. Who is your master?”

“That… yes. I will do that.”

It was only after hearing the confirmation again that her expression relaxed.

Really… Leasian made a sound and stopped as he was about to put the last cookie in his mouth.

“Lady? Why are you doing that?”

“… Open your mouth.”

“Yes? Suddenly?”

“If you just want to open it, open it obediently.”

How can I stop her stubbornness?

There was always a certain number of people who would retreat.

“Ah~ Do it.”

“Ah… … ”

Kamiel had no choice but to open his mouth, and soon something entered it.

For a moment, I was startled by something that entered my mouth.

“Lady? This… It’s a cookie. Why do I do this to me?”

Kamiel asked, holding the cookie in his mouth without daring to chew it.

In fact, since it’s already been in your mouth, you can’t spit it out and give it to them.

‘The lady gave cookies… .’

Kamiel was very surprised.

Aren’t cookies her favorite food?

For her, who refused to eat normal meals either mentally or physically, cookies were her only meal.

‘I heard that you won’t even eat cookies after this time… .’

Thinking of that, Kamiel could barely chew or swallow the cookie in his mouth.

Leasian, who watched this, opened his eyes.

“Chew. Why aren’t you eating it?”

“That’s right… For you, this is a meal. I’ve already eaten, but this is your only meal.”

“That’s it, so chew it!”

She couldn’t help but stand up and stride towards Camiel.

“What else are you doing… ”

“Chew. Chew it.”

“Mmm!”

Leasian was personally moving his jaw.

Camiel was distracted by the feeling of her dry, soft hand caressing his chin.

Finally, after eating the wagjak cookie, he let out the breath he had been holding.

“Whoa… miss. Aren’t you touching me too deeply?”

“Well, what are you saying! As for the level of thinking… .”

Her ears suck too much to deny it.

Kamiel found her reaction cute and wanted to play with her even more.

“What level? I was just stating the truth… The young lady just criticizes me… . ha… … I’m so sad… .”

“No, that’s not what I meant… ”

“No, it’s okay… . It’s my fault for making her misunderstand… .”

Rheasian was so pure that he was easily fooled, but he was not completely devoid of tact.

She realized that Kamiel was teasing her and started shaking.

“Ugh… ! Are you really going to do that? Are you still making fun of me?”

Kamiel responded with a hearty smile.

“Yes. Miss, are you really gullible?”

“You, you really! Do you want to scold me?!”

“It was a light joke. Calm down, lady.”

Did you say it’s hard to spit on a smiling face?

That was exactly the situation Rheasian was in right now.

Since Kamiel was always smiling, I felt like my anger was subsiding.

“Ha… . it’s okay. What kind of grappling should I do with you?”

“Haha… . Still, lady. What I said earlier was sincere. That kind of physical contact is not done carelessly.”

“… Then what should I do?”

“Well… . To my future husband?”

Leasian clenched his fists tightly.

‘You’re talking as if it has nothing to do with you?’

Every time Camiel said something like that, she felt like her clothes were turning inside out.

I don’t know why.

I just hated it when Kamiel said that.

“Lady… ?”

“Uh, huh? No.”

Camiel felt goosebumps for a moment, perhaps sensing that he was about to die.

So, when I looked down, I saw that the young lady’s hand was shaking violently, as if she was holding back her anger.

It was fortunate that the fist was released without being shaken.

If I had been hit by that, I might have lost consciousness.

‘I watched it for ten years… .’

“Oh, come to think of it, we ended up here talking about books, right?”

“Wait a minute. We’ll talk about the book later. When you have done everything as before and still have time left.”

“Yes? Why?”

“Huh?”

Kamiel couldn’t help but feel impatient.

I’m really looking forward to seeing how she reacts when she’s introduced to this book, but let’s wait.

“Well, there is a set procedure to work.”

“Um… All right… .”

Kamiel was disappointed, but accepted it.

Anyway, it’s not something serious enough to go against her words.

In fact, tea time was almost over.

Now that the cookie plate was empty, all I had to do was drink the remaining tea and treat myself.

‘But what kind of illness does she have?’

It was a question that suddenly occurred to me while treating Leasian.

Although Camiel was treating her, he didn’t know anything about the name of the disease or anything like that.

‘It wasn’t a problem even if we didn’t know what our abilities were.’

The Atran people only deliver acquired vitality to the target.

The rest was left to the acquired vitality that had spread throughout the opponent’s body to take care of.

If there is a defect in the mind, treat that area. If there is a problem in the body, treat the body.

The Atran people are a race that cannot be saved unless they die, as long as they have the strength to do so.

“It’s over.”

“Um… .”

Was the hand I was holding quite warm?

Rheasian always let out a sad sigh every time his hand fell.

It was quite a rare scene to see the person being surprised by the sound he or she made.

Kamiel smiled slightly, and she seemed to understand my swearing well.

Leasian narrowed his eyes.

He smiled happily.

“Lady. You’re cute.”

“… … .”

uh? It was unexpected.

Camiel was prepared to be beaten and revealed his true feelings… .

Surprisingly, no punches came and the young lady only turned her head with a pout.

“That’s it. Sit here quickly. He said he had a book to introduce.”

Leasian said as he patted the seat next to him, which was practically his reserved seat.

“Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for this moment?”

“What kind of book did you prepare?”

“This is the book.”

“『Good deeds that only I know』?”

“Do you know this book?”

“No. This is my first time seeing it… I guess it’s a novel?”

Rheasian seemed to be interested, so he opened the book and flipped through it.

It took only about four minutes to turn from the first page to the last.

“I read it all.”

“Yes?”

Kamiel was dumbfounded.

I read it all in just four minutes, even though I only skimmed through the book?

At first I thought it was a joke, but seeing her expression made me wonder if it was real.

“I don’t know either. Since when did everything start to be read just like this?”

“Uh… Really?”

“… Are you saying I lied?”

“No, no. That’s not it, it’s just because it’s an unbelievable ability… .”

There was no way he would doubt himself as he completely trusted her.

Since Leasian had driven a wedge, Kamiel could only believe that it was so.

He was a little… I was jealous.

‘If only I had the ability to read books quickly… .’

Perhaps sensing the hidden thoughts behind his bewildered expression, Leasian shook his head and opened his mouth.

“There is no need to be jealous.”

“I wasn’t jealous… ”

“The problem is that you are too easy to understand. So, can you date a girl?”

“What am I… Because I don’t plan on dating. haha… .”

“What? Why!”

“Yes? I’m the one who’s not dating, so why are you angry?”

“That… … .”

Ah, my face turned red again.

Now, as always, I enjoyed her reaction.

‘That’s why I don’t date women…’ .’

I need to correct this.

To be exact, the correct expression was that we ‘couldn’t’ date.

‘Who would like someone whose husband is terminally ill… .’

Above all, it was nearly impossible to meet a woman other than this woman unless I left this mansion.

Except for the maids and maids.

“… anyway! So, this is the book you read that impressed you so much?”

“Yes.”

『The Good Deeds Only I Know』 was a story about a talentless boy who wanted to help others, made a wish to God, gained talent, and then helped others.

Leasian looked over the book several times and said that he did not understand.

“Why is this? Where were you so impressed?”

“From the protagonist’s actions and the joy of the people around him.”

“The problem is that they have no idea that the main character helped them, right? Above all, he is suspected of being the culprit of a theft incident. To the people he helped so much.”

It was just as she said.

The protagonist helps others without revealing his abilities.

The reason was because of a promise made to God.

“If you say you helped, your ability will disappear.”

“So. I don’t know why you want to help others like that.”

is it?

Kamiel had never thought like her.

Because it was a story that resonated with him so much.

“Just… Isn’t that a good thing in itself?”

“Are you saying that you just do it because you like helping others? That’s completely stupid. If it were me, I would have quit the moment I got suspicious of him as a suspect. Even if it’s embarrassing.”

Kamiel became a little bitter at her words.

‘Is it really that stupid…? .’

Is it because he thought he was very similar to the boy who was the main character?

My heart ached because everything Rheasian said seemed to be directed at me.

“What, no way… You’re not saying this because I don’t like this book, right? We just don’t have the same tastes.”

“Is that so?”

I answered with a smile.

There was no need to reveal these feelings to her.

However, I wanted to ask this.

“The lady… How would you feel if there were people like this around you?”

“What? What else is that… ”

Leasian was about to ask if this was a random thing, but did he see Kamiel’s expression?

He fell silent with a serious expression.

“Um… … I guess they’ll just call me stupid? It’s a meaningless assumption to begin with. Because there are no people like this around me.”

“… yes. That’s right.”

“Huh? Are you going?”

“Yes. Miss, next time I will choose more carefully. I’m sorry.”

There was no time to hold on.

Kamiel left the room without looking back.

The only lingering sound was the quietly closing sound of the door.

“… Did I say something hurtful again?”

Leasian recalled the conversation from a little while ago and looked back.

“… No way.”

The girl’s expression became dumbfounded.

I thought about it from Kamiel’s perspective.

‘I said it was a book that I definitely read with deep emotion, right?’

What does that mean?

There are many reasons why the book is worth reading.

One of them may be because it moves the heart.

‘The reason my heart is moving probably means that I sympathized with it to some extent.’

In other words, Kamiel sympathized with the book.

So which part did you agree with?

‘Come to think of it… . What would it be like to have someone like that around you? ‘

“Ah.”

She realized it too.

The person around Kamiel that he was talking about was Kamiel himself.

However, she criticized him for being an idiot… .

“Ha… … .”

Leasian sighed deeply and covered his head.

‘What if Camiel hates me because of what I said?’

‘I can’t believe you lost affection for me… ‘I guess not?’

‘Probably not…’ . Just like this, no. Just in case… .’

She became somewhat anxious.

I was afraid that Kamiel would distance himself from me because of this incident.

The chances of that happening are low because he’s stupidly good… .

‘If Camiel really rejects me… ?’

The moment I thought about it,

The light disappeared from Rheasian’s eyes.
