The bad ending of an Otome game MTL - Chapter (104)
Episode 104
“Oh. If Lady Elodie encourages me to do that, I will not decline.”
Young-ae, Count of Beth, slowly walked towards the old bookstore with a lot of arrogance.
There were only a few steps that pretended to be elegant and laid-back, and from then on, it seemed to run. It was the eye of a hawk looking for prey.
Is the book called 〈Amy and Polita〉 that interesting? It seemed like he was reading other books too, so it was a coincidence.
The door wasn’t as big as I thought. It was big enough for a tall man to have his head down unconditionally. Instead, the inside of the bookstore was larger than expected, and it smelled of dust. There were surprisingly few people.
An old man who looked like a clerk approached me asking what he was looking for.
Count Beth’s Young-ae rolled her eyes here and there and groaned.
“Um, so, um…… Trendy these days… … that…… Can you give me a suitable recommendation?”
“Come this way.”
Pretending to pretend, the man guided the young Count of Beth without asking twice.
I waved my hand behind the young Count of Beth, who seemed excited, and turned her back. If there is a book related to theology or magic in moderation, I will try to touch it.
There are bookstores everywhere in the capital city, but since this old bookstore is old, there is a high probability that there is something there.
I walked through the classified books. Maids who did not know how to read were waiting at the entrance.
My hands stopped between the bookshelves while wandering through “Easy Reading Myth of the Founding of the Country” and “Easy Reading Magical Biomechanics”.
It’s an old-fashioned name.
As I unfolded it and flipped through it, I came across a paragraph like this.
“A name has power. The ancients thought that if you wanted to kill a great being that you couldn’t fight with your own power, you had to kill its name.
If no one remembers the name and does not call it, the existence exists, but it becomes a non-existent existence.
So this method used to be known as the most suitable method for killing ‘gods’. However…….”
“…….”
there is no back who tore it
I just looked at the blank page and burst out laughing.
It’s an old book, the pages are yellow and faded in some places. I flipped through the torn pages and found an intact page.
“…… It should be borne in mind God’s final death brings the most terrible results imaginable.”
I don’t know why, but I got goosebumps. With the intention of buying it, I closed the book and put it on my side.
I was thinking of digging through the Gloucester family’s library, but it’s still someone else’s book. You may hide important books and not show them.
“What book are you reading?”
“…….”
For a moment, I was almost surprised. I barely swallowed my breath and looked at the white face of Elodie that appeared in front of me.
“…… Pretend to be popular and go.”
“I paid it. Lady Emilia was so focused on the book that she couldn’t hear it.”
Even the voice that seemed to be complaining was so high that it felt strange. No, now, are you complaining to me? It was a little ridiculous, so I opened my mouth and then closed it again.
On that day, looking at me with a grin, Elodie grabbed my arm. I was very concerned about Elodie’s behavior, pretending to be friendly, but I asked for something urgent first.
“What do you mean by what you said to me earlier?”
“It’s literally like that.”
“Common sense, what’s the best thing about being friends with someone who hates you?”
“I…… I prefer a crude and ugly real thing to a shiny, shiny fake.”
The tone of those words was so strange that I couldn’t answer what it was.
Ophelia is a precious child to me, and Elodie is incomparable to that child.
After all, the two are separate. He was nailed to being a stranger in the game. Even if their faces resemble twins, in the end their souls are separate.
“Do you think it’s pretentious that other people treat Lady Elodie?”
“If Lady Emilia thinks so, then she is right.”
“…….”
Edmund Gloucester came to mind. Thinking of him made me feel bad.
A nerd who doesn’t even know if my feelings are real or not. A nuclear bomb that can’t even tell if it’s fake or the truth.
Shouldn’t it be that I don’t really care if that guy gets tangled up or not? Revealing the secret doesn’t mean that Ophelia will come back alive. I…….
“Lady Emilia!”
Count Beth’s Young Ae jumped in like a fly and hugged me.
I managed to avoid banging my head on the bookshelf. she shouted in frenzy. Of course, I whispered as low as the title of the book.
“I saved it! I got 2 copies of 〈Amy and Polita〉!”
“That’s amazing, oh, Lady Beth!”
“Ah, sorry, sorry! I am so excited.”
I felt suffocating and slapped Count Beth’s young girl on the arm. Young-ae, Earl of Beth, smiled bashfully and let go of the arm that was holding me.
Obviously, this was not my first impression of this girl.
We exchanged letters a few times, but today must have been the first time we met separately, but we weren’t too shy.
Is it because I saw you talking to other people at the royal tea party?
Well, it’s better to be honest than to gossip about everything behind the scenes.
So, he proposed to meet outside, and even though Elodie joined, he did not decline.
I decided to fight the social world without running away, but I didn’t like the tiring place.
“I heard it was a precious book, how did you get it?”
Count Beth Young-ae silently drew a circle with her finger.
You said you gave me back money. The enthusiasm for saving the book is truly admirable. I don’t know how much, but since it is a book that is a topic of discussion, I would have put quite a bit on it.
I nodded my head without saying a word.
Elodie looked at the two of us with a strange face.
“You two are really close.”
“It’s because of Count Beth’s young-ae who took good care of me.”
“Envy.”
what? I doubted my ears.
“I also wanted to have a friend who could joke around like this without hesitation.”
If it were a man who would gently lower his pretty eyes, he would sacrifice his liver and gallbladder and promise that if there was anything that made you sad, he would do anything.
The excellent young eyes of a gloomy beauty. Why would you use the beauty world for such a trivial thing?
At that moment, Young-ae, Earl of Beth, who had fallen into the beauty world, grabbed Elodie’s hand.
“Oh my God, then I’ll be Lady Elodie’s friend!”
“Mom, really?”
“…….”
He has a lot of friend candidates. Stand in a line and go around the two wheels of some mansion. I saw them all at the Royal Palace tea party, so why the hell… … .
No, more than that, the character I knew originally called Elodie wasn’t like this.
He was an idiot, a kid who knew everything. A bear that can’t imitate a fox even if it dies?
However, no matter how you look at it with a smirk and look at this side, it is a fox waving its tail softly no matter how you look at it.
I thought the foxes around me would end up with Casio Brahmanduff?
Of course, comparing the world Casio Brahmanduff to Elodie is an exaggeration.
If Casio Brahmanduff was a fox with ten tails, Elodie would be a novice fox with fluffy fur.
But they both have one thing in common: they’re both doing fluttering I don’t know English – I don’t know if I should call this fluttering.
“Do you hate Lady Emilia?”
Fresh green eyes that were wet with water turned to me. Count Beth’s young-ae’s eyes also turned to me.
If I refused, I was in a situation where I felt like I was going to be a bad guy in the world. Of course, I have stubbornly refused even in this situation.
Before I could say anything, Count Beth Young-ae grabbed my hand.
“Lady Emilia can’t do that. Today we are comrades who ate full bread and tart together!”
“…….”
In that way, in any facility that offers group meals, a bond of camaraderie that is stronger than blood will spring up.
Right now, I want to recap what happened to the young girls who shared tea at the royal tea party.
I answered, suppressing the desire to breathe.
“…… We are slowly getting to know each other.”
“After all, Lady Emilia, you are deeply touched. Do you mean that you don’t want to call someone’s true friend carelessly? You have a sense of responsibility.”
‘After all, a frog egg and a grasshopper’s hind leg must be able to be shared casually to be a true friend,’ said Count Beth Young-ae, admiring.
No, that’s not it. At that time, I just took it out to tease Count Betty’s little girl, to threaten me with the story of Ophelia.
No matter how much I am, I don’t like frog eggs, lizards, or toads!
At that time, it was just my image, I spit it out as a symbol that I don’t care, but hearing Count Beth’s young-ae with such a bright face once again made me feel like I had a headache.
Even now, I have no regrets about what I did back then, but I have no hesitation in talking about my past with Ophelia, but it’s a little bit misleading in that way… … .
“I will do my best to be a true friend of Lady Emilia someday.”
In front of me like that, Elodie smiled very pretty.
It was an innocent, gentle smile that could have been built like an angel who fell from the sky.
