“It’s okay because you can ignore that kind of thing even if you don’t do it. Well, that’s just like Ellis. Even though it’s been a long time since I’ve seen Ellis, it’s definitely etched in my memory.”

“Ahh… Is that so…? Ha. But this is a line… ”

“What, I told you to do that? I’m fine. Well, I do get a little annoyed sometimes. But I can bear it. I think you’ll know how to mediate.”

“Huh? I’m Ellie… Haa. Well, if you say so.”

“Then, um… I’ll let it be. I’ll change all the beds before you come back.”

“But, do you go into other people’s rooms? No matter how big the room is, it’s full of stuff. And there’s furniture, right?”

“Yeah, they all fit. You don’t have to worry. Except for Yuri, who has a very small room, a queen-size bed will fit. You can also solve this problem by buying a storage bed and creating storage space.”

“Um… Is that so? But the reason for making a new bed is really… just… ”

While I was being so dumbfounded, Arin interrupted me and said.

“Sister Yunseul! Sleep with Sister Bine… No, I said we’ve been using it for a long time anyway, right? The spring seems weird too… Hehe… ”

“Right? Look, isn’t it weird to let a child sleep in a bed like this?”

“No, what is that… ”

“Since we’re doing it all at once, it’ll be cheaper. I’ll change the things in your room too.”

“No, the bed in my room is barely a month old…!”

“Okay, then let’s stop talking about beds. So, are you satisfied with your room, Ellis?”

“Oh, right! I have to pack my bags at my house. Ugh… I have a lot of stuff. Even if I live alone, moving to a studio apartment is… ”

“You can just throw away the things you don’t use. Just bring your clothes. Since you’re strong, you’ll be back in no time. What should I do? No. Just tell the president to move it, so you don’t have to worry about that.”

“Ah, no. I can go, but the association president… Besides, the association president isn’t a moving company, so isn’t he a waste of manpower to be used for that reason? What kind of new… ”

“Well, you’re a busy person who works hard, so you should exercise and regain your energy. The president of the association couldn’t go on vacation this year, so you should use it up, so this would be good. And, Bin, you’re sick. That’s why you’re excluded.”

“No, what is that… Haa. It’s okay since I don’t use magic power when I use my strength. And can’t I decide to move the luggage after I leave here…? ”

“You’ve been working so hard all this time, Binnie. That’s why I allowed you to hire Ellis. How could I have five people do housekeeping work for the magical girls in their prime? I was foolish. Now, work with Ellis.”

“… Nothing really goes my way… Do you think Ellie would do things that easily… ”

“Ellis? Are you going to work?”

Blanc answered my question by interrupting me and directing the question to Ellie instead.

Of course, in a cold and scary voice, as if to let Ellie know that all the good attitude she had shown up until now was a lie.

In a voice so terrifying and solemn that it was easy to shatter any new beliefs Ellie had just developed.

“n, yes! Of course! Even without Blanc-sama’s orders, of course, with B, Vinae. No, I was going to do everything Vinae did! Vinae was at a level where all she did was play, eat, and sleep! Heh, heh heh… ”

“Look, did you hear that?”

Why are you talking as if it’s so obvious?

Blanc was looking at me with a smile.

Ellie, who was eavesdropping on my conversation with Blanc next to me, was shivering so much that her hands were getting cold.

That’s an order that assumes a threat.

No, more than an order… something more like that… hmmm.

“Sleep. Ellis? I told you I didn’t like that kind of attitude, right?”

“Ugh, ugh! Mi, I’m sorry!”

And then Blanc, who even points out the tone in which he spoke to himself…

It’s scary.

“What did I just see, Blanc?”

“Huh? Q&A with Ellis and me?”

“Haa… What do you think is the cause of my sighing?”

“Hmm. I don’t know. Are you tired? Or maybe there’s a lack of oxygen? There are so many people in this room that there might be a lack of oxygen. Okay. Then, the date for moving the luggage is before Binney leaves. Ellis, can you do it all by yourself?”

“n, yep!”

“Use it.”

“Ah, uh, yeah! Of course! I, I’m a freak too? T, if I just have magic power, I can do it all easily! Yeah! ”

To Ellie, who was still trembling as she answered, the fear of the threat still lingering.

“Ellie, why are you answering so obediently? Blanc. I will help you too. I cannot yield on this. I really cannot yield. If you do not want to know that I am as stubborn as you are, then do not deny it.”

Blanc looked dumbfounded at my declaration.

He asked me again with a worried look on his face.

“You’re in a really tough situation.”

Was there also a sense of regret in that expression?

Blanc thought deeply for a moment.

What were you thinking?

I wonder if he’s thinking like that because he’s preparing a single word to break my stubbornness.

“You’re being forced to work at the dormitory. I can’t make it any harder for you.”

Blanc speaks with a serious expression.

If you suddenly become so serious, who would believe you?

But I think the sentiment behind those words is sincere.

“Even if it was forced… It’s not that hard, so it doesn’t matter. And you didn’t collapse because of work, right? So, just quietly answer ‘yes.’ ”

“… ”

What’s with that worried look on Blanc’s face?

I want to work, how can you stop me?

“And your body will have fully recovered anyway. Why are you so worried? In fact, there is no problem moving or working right now… ”

“Still, it’s hard. Isn’t it?”

“I’m a freak, you say. If it weren’t for the magic, I wouldn’t be able to move? Didn’t I tell you before? I was an ace at construction sites.”

“What does that have to do with anything? You’ll have a hard time.”

“It’s not hard at all… but the class president said at the time, ‘You look young, but you’re better than Mr. Kim who just eats rice!’ All you do is move things… ”

Blanc thought for a moment, clutching his head, then gave permission.

“Haa… Okay, okay. I get it. I lost. Instead, for this week, definitely get some rest. Don’t have any weird thoughts. Especially don’t think about training. What if you get a fever and collapse again? And… ”

“Ah, stop it… I understand… Why do you take care of me so much? If you’re going to take care of me, take care of me when we fight. How many attacks have I received in the past ten years? Do you know that attacks that are just thrown at you without any mercy really hurt?”

“Okay, okay. You get some rest. Ellis, follow me for a bit.”

Ellie, who was finally relieved that the attention had waned, was flustered and flustered as she looked at Blanc.

“J, I, no. Me, why me, no why?”

“Why? Of course you’re complaining because you saw the pictures. See it for yourself and tell me what’s lacking.”

“Uh, huh? Gu, do I really… ? I’m okay… ?”

“No, let’s go. Isn’t it better to be certain? That’s what I think for now. Is it better to be certain?”

Ellie seemed surprised by the coercive tone hidden in that voice… Yeah.

“Me, me too. Yeah, right! I guess I should go and see! I was wrong…! Yeah, yeah! Let’s go quickly! I’m so curious…! ”

Because he had the appearance of an obedient puppy who had yielded to threats.

Like prey looking at a predator.

Like a mouse looking at a cat.

“Right? Then Binnie, stay here. I’ll go with Ellis?”

“To Ellie… Haa. I’ll tell you later. For now, go and have a good time.”

“Okay. Let’s go, Ellis. Bine is sleeping a little more. If you have any trouble, let me know. Arin will help you with anything you need. Or you can ask Seohyun.”

To that redhead over there looking at her phone like she’s not really interested?

Hmm… Up until just now, yeah. Up until the time we talked about beds, he seemed a little interested.

Right now, well… it looks like he’s not really interested.

“Yes. You don’t have to worry about that, so please don’t make things difficult for Elina. Really… ”

“Yeah, don’t worry.”

“I don’t worry about you… Haa. Have a nice day.”

“Yeah.”

With those words, Blanc takes Ellie out.

Ellie gave me a look of salvation, but…

I’m sorry. I don’t have the power to save you, Ellie.

and…

“Sister, if you need anything, please tell me! I will be your hands and feet and help you with everything!”

There was this cute kid who just stuck to my side.

“Wait a minute! You know this…!”

“Of course Ellis doesn’t know. Why would she tell the villain about the conversation between the magical girls? Hurry up and follow Blanc Unnie!”

“You, you!!”

Ellie’s eyes, as she was dragged away, seemed to be filled with revenge.

Oh, yeah.

There’s nothing I can do.

Yeah. Fighting, Ellie.

I am…

“Arin, it’s okay. For now… let’s rest. Hwaaam… I’m sleepy. Since I have some free time, I’ll sleep.”

“Oh, yes. Sister. Then me too.”

“Come in here. It’s a little cold.”

I’m going to sleep well.
