[Noelia : Tears of the Count’s Daughter Mage]

※Noelia’s POV

I came back to the mansion in Youg Hannotes for the first time in 10 days, but in this short period of time, various things…truly, various things happened.

With Frick-sama’s explaining, things didn’t get to the point, so I just explained what happened to father in his stead, and when I was exhausted and returned to my room, I fell into the bed.

“Huu, I managed to get approval for both Dimol and the magic sword somehow…as I thought, the decisive factor was that Frick-sama had defeated the Demon Beast Cerberus.”

While lying on the bed, I remembered the scene where Flick activated Spell Sword and subjugated the Demon Beast Cerberus.

With the conception of the Spell Sword that I had never thought of at all, Frick-sama easily defeated the Cerberus, the Demon Beast of the Demon Forest that was feared by the people of Youg Hannotes.

He’s really amazing…he may be a person who can surpass father who was called a hero in the future…

A person who is brimming with so much talent.

In regards to magic, it won’t be weird to call him a talent that appears once in several hundred years.

Recently, my time thinking about such Frick-sama has increased.

No, rather than increased, it can be said that I’ve been thinking about him all the time.

Most of the time, from waking up in the morning to going to bed at night, my sight kept chasing after Frick-sama.

I understand that he disliked me because of the thing that happened in the beginning, but I couldn’t stop chasing after his figure no matter how hard I tried to.

Even so, at Gawain-shishou’s place, he took me to a scenic flight on Dimol.

Seriously at that time, because he was holding me so I wouldn’t fall, his face was so close, and that made me so nervous that strange sweat came out from my whole body.

Although it was only for a short time, I was so happy to be with him.

Thanks to that, my body remained hot even after we came back. Misunderstanding that I caught a cold, Frick-sama even carried me and kindly brought me to bed.

I was so happy that I thought I would lose my mind just like that, but I managed to endure it somehow.

And after the life in Gawain-shishou’s workshop where such happy things happened, ended, he returned to the inn of Youg Hannotes.

Remembering things about him, I took out the cloak I borrowed from him that I hid under the bed and smelled it.

It calms down with just a sniff.

“Haa…I should have made our relationship in which I can confess to him normally…”

“Isn’t it fine if you just say it? It seems that Noelia-sama has become an adult who can have a proper romance, I’m glad.”

I lowered my guard because I thought that there was no one around, and before I knew it, my personal maid, Suzana, stood by my bedside.

I was seen sniffing Frick-sama’s cloak by Suzana.

Unexpectedly being seen by someone, my body went stiff.

“It’s been 20 years since I started accompanying Noelia-sama as her playmate…the once magic otaku Noelia-sama, has recently became more feminine.”

Suzana nods with ‘un un’ by herself.

Wearing a maid outfit with her braided purple hair and brown eyes that were looking at me, she is a maid from a vassal family who had been serving the Henestrosa family for a long time.

She, who is about five years older than me, grew up together with me as my playmate, and has served me as my personal maid since she became an adult.

Our relationship was one between the employer and the maid, but in reality, her existence is more like an older sister to me.

I immediately hid Frick-sama’s cloak under the bed and forbid Suzana to speak about what she had just seen.

“S-Suzana, please keep this as a secret from father. Even at the best of times, he dislikes Frick-sama, and if Frick-sama receives a nagging from father, his mood would be ruined.”

“Understood. Even though at last there is a person who made Noelia-sama wants to become a bride of, but with Lloyd-sama’s temper, he wouldn’t allow you to become a bride for the rest of his life. In addition, I wouldn’t expose that you’ve been smelling the smell of that gentlemen’s used cloak.”

“N~~~~~~, Suzana!”

Suzana once again put into words about what I was doing, and my whole body flushed from embarrassment.

“Spring sure has finally arrived for Noelia-sama. This Suzana is about to cry from happiness.”

Suzana is covering her eyes with the edge of her apron, but she has always been recommending marriage to me, who had been immersing myself as adventurer and to magic research for a long time.

“I-I don’t think of Frick-sama in such a way…”

When I said so, Susana grabbed my shoulder, who was sitting on the bed.

“You won’t be able to get that gentlemen with such thoughts! You can’t increase the size of your nonexistent breasts, but since Noelia-sama’s original material is good, if you put on some make up and change your conduct, you should also be able to subdue Frick-sama, you know!”

“I-I can’t do anything about my breasts, right…wait, that’s not it. No, I said, I don’t think of Frick-sama in such a way.”

“Do you think you can deceive my eyes?”

Suzana is staring at me with her brown eyes.

Having grown up together since we were kid, there is nothing that I can hide from her, she can see through everything.

Couldn’t argue any further, I swelled my cheeks with a *puu*.

“How about you propose to Lloyd-sama to hold up an occasion to thank the distinguished person who had subjugate the Demon Beast Cerberus and invite Frick-sama. If at that occasion, Noelia-sama, who was dressing beautifully and was putting on makeup, be the entertainer of Frick-sama, it should be perfect. Let’s change you to be the dressed-up count’s daughter from your usual plain mage’s robe appearance.”

“Do I have to entertain Frick-sama?”

“Yes, who else is there?”

“Impossible, impossible, impossible! If I do such a thing, he’ll definitely hate me!”

Seeing me rejecting her proposal, Suzana sighed with a *fuu*

“Then I’ll help you too. Are you okay with that?”

If Suzana give various advises next to me…I may be able to entertain Frick-sama without making him uncomfortable…

In that case, I wonder if he wouldn’t disliked it even if I was a little closer to him.

My heart become filled with so much fuzziness at Suzana’s proposal.

I was frustrated by the emotions I had never felt until I was at this age.

If I could go back, I would like to go back to the day I first met Frick-sama…

I wonder why I had done such a stupid act such as Magic Power Synchronization, and did such an embarrassing act such as monitoring his daily life.

When I remember about such things, tears overflowed from the corner of my eyes.

I don’t want Suzana to see my crying face, so I covered my face with my hands, but the tears won’t stop.

“W-why are you crying? Do you really don’t want to entertain Frick-sama that much?”

“No, it’s not like that. And I’m not crying, I want to be the one who entertain Frick-sama…”

When I said so, Susana hugged me and stroked my head.

“Un un, is that so. Noelia-sama really is in love. I will also do my best to help you fulfill that love.”

Afterwards, accompanied by Suzana, I proposed to father to hold a banquet to thank Frick-sama, the distinguished person who has subjugated the Demon Beast Cerberus.

Hearing that I want to be Frick-sama’s entertainer, father was a little reluctant, but he was overwhelmed by Meiss and Suzana and reluctantly agreed.

Uh oh our cute Noelia got caught in the act
