The air was quiet for a few seconds, and suddenly, Genna spoke, "It's rude, master."

As the words landed, far and near, without a hint of hatred, a warm, soft mass pressed against my cheek.

At the same time, a pair of arms wrapped tightly around my back.

"Hmmm??!" I was momentarily stunned, and immediately realized that I was being hugged by Genna.

"Gen, Gen, Genna?!"

I don't understand what this unfolds is. Why did the girl who questioned me one second suddenly hug me the next? [Hidden: At this moment, Ninety-Nine has not yet realized that not everyone's expressions will be very accurate and accurate. 】

"Master, Gennai won't be angry, and he won't leave you, because, master, you, are Gennai's relatives......" [Hidden: The white-haired elf gently hugged the petite young girl. Those slightly narrowed blue eyes flashed with complicated tears]

I listened in a daze, and Gennai's long answer was at a loss.

「…… So, please don't put on such a sad face. Aren't you, the thing that doesn't make Genna want to be abandoned? So why do you have to think about it yourself? Genna, I swear to you that Genna will never, absolutely not leave you. So, master, please also promise Gennai to stop thinking about 'being abandoned by Gennai', okay?"

Genna's gentle timbre, mixed with sobbing and choking, made me more and more confused.

I was mentally prepared to be abandoned (calming magic), I was ready to go to war (the consciousness of being killed), and I was ready to refuse her request for resurrection (Refusal of Words).

But I never thought that this person would actually ......

Again......

See through me......

And, again, gave me the answer I wanted the most......

"Hehe......"

Tears blurred my vision, and in the gentle embrace of Genna, I couldn't suppress my crying, and choked up, "Well, I promise you."

"Ah, what a... What about a good girl......"

As I sighed, tears welled up in my eyes. The calming spell is still in motion......

“…… But that's why I don't want to deepen the bond any longer. ”

I was restless, restlessly thinking.

But suddenly, Gennai's gentle voice once again interrupted my thoughts, which I didn't want to think about': "That master, Genna also has important words to say to the master......

As she spoke, she let go of the arms that were holding me and floated backwards, half a meter. [Hidden: Because 99 didn't hug Genna, Genna was able to move freely after letting go of his arms.] 】

[Two 'girls' with crimson and tear-stained faces look at each other.] 】

「…… I like you." The off-white haired elf, with one hand on his chest, said so.

[From the end of Genna's last sentence to the time he left 99 and floated backwards, there was not a total of 1 second. 】

Just when I was still thinking about 'how to make Gennai give up admiring me without revealing my past', Genna's sudden confession made my brain completely shut down.

"Huh?"

I stared blankly at the beautiful girl with a pink face and burning eyes.

[However, the restless admiration in Gennai's heart is out of control at the moment. The gratitude that Gennai had accumulated in the past few days completely erupted at this moment: the moment he learned that his master was really afraid of being abandoned by himself. 】

"I know master, you have someone you like...... " Gennai's eyes flashed with bitterness, unwillingness, and helplessness, and the small hand on his chest was slightly closed because of jealousy, turning from palm to fist.

「…… Still, I want to tell you: I like you. So I will never leave you, even if I will always be your maid, and I want to be with you forever."

The girl who looked like an elf, with pale pink tears on her face, said with a happy smile.

"......" was another sentence that I didn't expect, and my newly restarted brain was confused again.

What a happy thing it is to be confessed by such a cute beautiful girl.

But, I don't want to... Defile her......

So, after a few seconds of silence, I did something that I might not have understood in the future. (Let's be honest)

"I'm sorry, Genna-san...... I think it's better if you don't like me."

I smiled and said, I wanted to make a super cute smile, but whether it was my brow or my tears, I just frowned uncontrollably and rolled down.

"Because...... I'm not clean anymore......

I narrowed my eyes and said the last thing I wanted to say in my cutest form. (Trying to numb your mind)

My heart was tingling, and my brain was dizzy and swollen like a fever. The calming spell is still in motion......

However, the moment my voice landed, the moment I was ready to tell this person about my past, the moment I was ready to scare this girl away with my 'dirty past'.

Gennai suddenly said angrily:

"I know! But I don't care!! I don't care what you've experienced in the past, master, you're everything Genna is here now! If someone says you're not clean! Then Genna will be the first to kill him!"

The girl's clenched fists were raised above her head, and then smashed from the air, and finally closed in anger on her ribs.

Teardrops, in the process of bowing and roaring, splashed into ice beads along the slender eyelashes.

The long flowing white hair also fluttered gently with the girl's bow.

I looked at Genna, who was usually quiet, and suddenly looked excited. I was confused.

At the same time, I was also amazed by her sudden speech, sudden tolerance, and sudden sickness. It made it even more confusing.

She ...... Got it? I muttered in distraction, "Heh, hehe......" [Hidden: The young girl's eyes became a little hollow, and she wavered uneasily. Tears poured down. 】

This is the first time I've seen Genna so excited, but, more than that, I'm more curious:

She...... How much did you see through me......

At this time, I didn't realize that my heart, which had been aching faintly, was no longer too painful.

However, this did not end, just after Gennai said the above sentence, less than 2 seconds, she roared again:

"Gennai... Genna just wants to be with you! I just want to be with you! I just want to be with you!"

Genna, hovering on the snow, lowered his head, squinted tightly, twisted his body as if angry, and flicked his arms irritably. It's like a child who asks his mother for a toy, but his mother doesn't buy it, so he loses his temper.

The long beige hair, swaying;

The teardrops were scattered.

Although this appearance is a little naïve, I understand that Gennai just wants to make me understand her mind through this kind of behavior.

"Hehehe......" I smiled bitterly. The pain of self-blame in my heart immediately increased several times. I really don't want such a nice girl to like me.

But at the same time, I can't deny that my stinging heart is being wrapped in a sense of happiness and warmth.
