"Louise."

After Louise pushed open the door to the dormitory, Yakumo Mo, who was sitting on the windowsill, put down a magic book in his hand and turned his head to look over.

"Huh?"

Louise, who was still wearing the academy uniform, answered and walked over to Yakumo's side.

"What's the matter?"

Yakumo swiped the index finger of his right hand in the void, and the demonic power of his fingertips stagnated in the air, and finally formed a pattern.

Crossed swords and roses.

"Do you know this sign?"

"This ...... Isn't it the family emblem of the Marquis of Moldhuck's house? ”

"Mothulk...... Marquis? ”

Waving his hand to disperse the pattern in mid-air, Yakumo Mo looked up at the night sky.

Louise stared at Yakumo with her eyebrows, her doubts growing bigger and bigger, why did Yakumo ask this inexplicably?

"That, Yakumo, what's wrong with the Marquis of Moldhuck?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I saw that the carriage with this sign picked up Sesta."

"Shesta? …… The maid? ”

Louise thought about it for a long time before she remembered who Shesta was.

The grandfather they met the other day was a commoner from another world.

Hearing that Shesta had been picked up by Mothulk, Louise immediately understood what had happened.

It's nothing more than a nobleman who has taken a fancy to a beautiful commoner girl and intends to keep it for himself.

This kind of thing has long been commonplace for Louise.

Thinking of Yakumo Mo as if he was very interested in that Shesta, now that Shesta had been picked up, Louise, who was still a little tasteful, actually found that she had no reason in her heart and snickered with joy.

However, seeing Yakumo's contemplative appearance towards the moon, Louise's heart suddenly tightened.

"Yakumo, what do you want to do?"

"Sa...... Guess what? ”

Yakumo glanced at Louise with a smirk. made the girl almost feel that her inner thoughts were seen through.

"Louise, I remember you said that your father was a duke, right?"

"Ahh

At the mention of her duke's father, Louise showed a little pride.

The girl has always been self-conscious about her family name and nobility, and regards her reputation as extremely important.

"Then, as the daughter of your duke. Is it difficult to ask a marquis for a commoner maid? ”

Louise immediately looked at Yakumo with a dark face, gritted her teeth and said, "Yakumo, you really like that Shesta, don't you?" ”

"Like? No, no, no, it's just that it's rare to see a person with black hair and black eyes, and it's just a little kind. It's a pity that he has become a noble plaything. ”

Is it all because of this?

Louise looked at Yakumo suspiciously.

The girl pouted, and said reluctantly: "It can be, but this will owe the Marquis of Morthuck a favor, the nobles are not afraid of trading, but the favor is the most annoying." And our family and the Moldhuck family have been friends for generations......"

[This girl ......]

Looking at Louise who was trying to find a reason to shirk with amusement, Yakumo Mo reached out and pressed her head.

"Louise ......"

"Ahh

The girl was immediately agitated, and stood in front of Yakumo with a stiff body, her cute face getting redder and redder.

"You've been fretting about your magic failing, haven't you?"

"Huh?" Louise blinked her eyes in confusion, as if she didn't understand why Yakumo suddenly shifted the topic here.

"Are you interested in learning magic from me?"

"Is that okay?"

Louise's face immediately lit up, and she reached out and grabbed the placket of Yakumo's clothes, and her petite body stepped forward again.

Rubbing Louise's hair. After successfully letting the girl hold her head and show a strange gaze, Yakumo smiled and said, "Of course you can." Today I stumbled upon the reason why your spell casting always fails......"

"Library?"

Louise looked at Yakumo in surprise.

"So you've been sneaking around these days—"

Before he finished speaking, Yakumo raised his index finger and gently pressed it on the girl's soft lips.

"It's better not to say some things."

"Yes, yes!"

Louise, who was blushing, took a step back, then opened her eyes expectantly and said, "Yakumo, can you really solve the problem of my failed spell casting?" ”

"Of course you can, but ......"

"But?"

Louise tilted her head, then realized. Bun face puffed up again.

"Huh...... Could it be that Yakumo wants to ask me to go to the Marquis of Moldhuck on this condition? ”

After saying that, Louise lowered her head and muttered something in a low voice.

"Really...... Yakumo still likes that Shesta...... Isn't it just that my boobs are bigger than mine...... What's the big deal......"

"No, you don't need to go, didn't you say that the nobles don't like to owe favors? So you just have to tell me where that marquis's house is. I'll just go there myself. ”

"In person?"

Louise immediately looked at Yakumo seriously and shook her head.

"No, Yakumo, commoners can't resist the nobles."

"Who said I was a civilian?"

Louise was stunned, "You're a nobleman?" ”

"It's not ...... But you nobles here...... Shh ”

"What kind of attitude do you have! Look down on the aristocracy? ”

Louise, a little annoyed, pouted and snorted.

"Yakumo, even if you were a nobleman in the original world, your aristocratic status here is not useful."

"So I'm going to grab it directly."

Yakumo grinned.

"Absolutely not!"

Louise rushed up in a panic and grabbed Yakumo's hand.

"Don't do that! I'm going to be very embarrassed......"

Louise believes that Yakumo definitely has the strength to snatch people from the Marquis of Mothulk.

It's just that in this way, the Marquis of Mothuck, who has a noble status, will definitely not give up.

Then the fun will be great.

"Don't worry, he won't retaliate."

No retaliation? Could it be—

"You can't kill him!"

Louise's little face turned a little pale with fright.

"The Marquis of Morthuck's family has made great contributions to the kingdom and has always won the trust of the royal family, if he dies, something big will happen!"

Seeing the little girl's misunderstanding, Yakumo didn't break it, but just gently touched her head to calm her down.

"So, in order not to cause a riot, please ask our lovely Louise?"

"Cocoa, cocoa, cocoa, cute!?"

With a "bang", Louise's whole body turned red.

"Cute or something...... Mrs. Mrs. Mrs., too suddenly......"

[This reaction is so interesting]

Yakumo Mo, who originally wanted to tease Louise again, saw that the time was approaching midnight, so he suppressed this thought.

It wouldn't be good if I waited too long and let that lovely little maid be ruined by the Marquis of Moldhawk.

"Okay Louise, go get that Shesta over, as the Duke's daughter, it's normal to have an exclusive maid in the academy, isn't it?"

"Huh? Isn't Yakumo going to be for himself? ”

Louise asked, tilting her head.

Yakumo shook his head and didn't speak.

[Maid or something, I already have it at home, so I don't need it, it's just for the sake of that girl who looks very kind-]

Yakumo thought so, but unfortunately Louise misunderstood.

[Yikes! Yakumo actually thinks so much about me......]

The little girl's mind suddenly ran to somewhere, glancing at Yakumo from time to time, and then looking away like a frightened rabbit.

"So, let's go?"

"Hmm!" (To be continued......)
