Chapter 51 – Let Me Introduce You to My Girlfriend.(3)
Rose came out today with the excuse that she wanted to get some air.
But the real purpose was to have dinner with Barefoot.
A few days ago, the dinner I had with Starchis to match the words was more fun than I could have imagined.
After matching the words, we talked and exchanged concerns and emotions that we could not easily talk about.
In particular, the stories about the adventures Starchis told me were so much fun.
Rose thought that this was enough to be friends already.
Hehe…”
It was the first time I had a friend of the opposite sex, so I kept thinking of him at home.
What would you like to talk about next time?
Or maybe I should ask for that next time.
She was looking forward to more and more time to share with him.
More than anything, I am happy that there will be many things to spend time with him in the future.
In return for lending the vampire’s blood, the requested meal was accepted.
A reply came from Stion.
She decided to eat in the next 5 days.
It will not be only this.
Starchis said he only needed to act once or twice, but he said that he was afraid it would be someone for him.
Rose rather enjoyed this kind of acting.
So, I wanted to do more if Starches was okay.
It’s like a situation in a novel, and it can be an opportunity to get closer to Starchis.
Maybe you don’t know
He might become a friend for life.
If not…
Rose swallowed her saliva.
She shook her head.
You can’t do your personal delusion outside.
“…Miss?”
One of the two hulking bodyguards following behind looks after Rose.
She was a senior bodyguard.
Her name is ‘Brooke’.
“..Yes?”
“Do you have any concerns?”
Brooke seemed quite cautious.
She deserved it.
Now it is not in the mansion, but in the city center.
It’s crowded and noisy.
In a place like this, if you take her eyes off Rose for even a moment, she will run away.
It was fortunate for the bodyguard that this aberration was not known even to Hiannisti.
Of course, on her part as Rose, it was no good that her own deviations were known to her father.
If such a thing is known, it will be impossible to come out with an excuse to come outside.
So even if the risk of Rose’s deviation being known to Heian was small, Brooke was restless.
There is no more dizzying situation than running away to a place where they are not and getting hurt while playing.
Apart from being scolded, she did not want to see Rose, who had been protecting her all her life, endangered.
“…I can’t run away today. I don’t make the same mistakes.”
Another bodyguard, Pippin, says.
But Rose smiled leisurely.
Because she has already made her plans for today as well.
Seeing that laugh made Brooke and Pippin’s hearts skip a beat.
She was Rose, who always escaped with bizarre schemes.
What else would you like to come out with today?
And if she unfolds that ploy, will they be able to hold her back… She was not confident.
From that laid-back smile, it seemed that she was already convinced of her escape.
In the end, he couldn’t stand it and said Brooke.
“Even if you run away, come quickly today.”
“No. Don’t run away If we really get caught, we die..!”
Pippin begs.
Rose laughed at them and reassured the bodyguards.
“I’m not running away today.”
Brook and Pippin’s faces light up,
“Of course… Assuming that you two act according to my words.”
It gets dark again soon.
“What are you trying to do?”
“He’s trying to run away again…!”
“Pippin, you’re stuck.”
“Ah! Are you going to run away?”
Brooke and Pippin groan.
“Don’t worry. Not a big request. Just…”
Rose looks around and points to an ordinary clothing store.
“There. Everyone change clothes over there, right?”
“Clothes?”
The bodyguards’ clothes were matching.
Light clothing tailored in black.
It wasn’t even a suit, but it was neat.
First of all, it is clothes that give the impression that they are not ordinary people.
Because of its size, it seemed intimidating.
“I dress like the people around me. So that I can look normal.”
“Why… Why…”
“Today I made a dinner date with my friends outside. But those friends don’t know that I’m an aristocrat.”
“Are you saying that you made friends with the common people?”
“Yes.”
“Are these the friends you made when you escaped before?”
“Yes that’s right.”
“Oh… The young lady is sociable too…”
“Thanks for the compliments. Anyway, I don’t want to let people know that I’m a nobleman, so Brooke and Pippin, if you want to keep an eye on me, put on your normal clothes and sit at another table and watch me. If you do this, I won’t run away today.”
Brooke and Pippin looked at each other and said to Rose,
“So… You’re telling me to watch from a distance and pretend I don’t know?”
“Exactly. There is no way ordinary people have bodyguards, right?”
Rose offered a deal.
I won’t run away, so please don’t interfere.
Brooke made a quick decision.
“Go! Miss!”
There is no option to not listen anyway.
If you do, you will run away again in an extraordinary way.

Lily checked her clothes once more.
Today was the day I went to meet Elsaine.
She was squeamish when she noticed her clothes, but she wore aggressive clothes today.
Elzain came to her pretty, but she hated being pushed around.
Clothes that reveal the chest, as before.
I couldn’t ask for anything more if Starchis made my heart beat even a little bit.
-Kong-Kong-Kong. Caw!
There was the sound of something hitting the window.
Lily was taken back by the sound.
Because it was something I had been waiting for a long time.
She has been sending letters to her master ever since Starchis got her girlfriend.
To learn some kind of magic.
However, no matter how many letters she sent, there was no reply from her master.
And this time, after he collapsed, she changed her content.
The topic was ‘how non-mages can feel mana better’.
Lily was doing her best to help Stachis’ arm heal, but she was afraid that she was doing something wrong.
Lily quickly opened her window.
A crow had a small box hanging around her neck.
It was a familiar bird.
Her master’s bird was right.
“How are you… Errol?”
“Caw!”
The bird responds
Lily removed the cage from Errol’s neck, the crow.
Errol, whose throat was freed, flapped his wings and flew away again.
Lily closed her window again and blew her mana into the box with her heart pounding.
With a clicking sound, Lily’s mana ham reacted.
Inside was a piece of paper about a handful of curled up.
What would the master have replied? She opened the paper.
————————————
To Lily.
It’s been a while.
She didn’t want to reply
It’s like watching a precious person become like that.
Not everyone can be a wizard, child.
If you have no talent, it’s better to give up quickly.
Whether you have talent or not… You’ll know after a few days.
If he could feel mana even once, the possibility is quite high.
Try to move mana by increasing the contact area with the target.
Any help would be appreciated.
Good luck.
From the master.
P.S. Give up hypnotic magic.
———————————-
“… Thank you, Master.”
Lily expressed her gratitude.
Although her master couldn’t hear it.
When I think about it now, there are many times when I feel guilty.
Like her mother, she left her master who cared for her and went out to see the world outside.
Master was really sad, but he soon understood and sent it away with a smile.
All the people around you are kind people, so there won’t be any hardships or difficulties in your life.
Maybe I could be a little lonely.
Soon.
Lily thought she would have to go back at least once to see her again.
The party is on a break for a while.
Doesn’t she continue to spend time with Starchis like before?
****
“Well…”
Are you okay?
I checked myself in the mirror.
Today, I finally tried on the clothes Lily noona gave me.
Now is the right moment, as she is wearing the clothes her sister bought her to wear when she goes to see her girlfriend.
Objectively, it seemed fine.
Everything was true to size and fit perfectly.
It was not so comfortable to wear as it was a tight fit.
It’s even more so because the left hand is stiff.
Some of the buttons didn’t fit properly.
No matter how hard I tried, it was uncomfortable to put it in with one hand.
It wasn’t bad though.
Thanks again to Lily noona.
What will my sister say?
She said she wanted to see Russ too.
It is an opportunity to show everyone at once.
It’s been a while since I’ve had my hair straightened.
It wasn’t that easy either, but
It was better than wearing clothes.
Overall, it looked clean after a long time.
“… Shall we go?”
Stachis left the door with a black glove on his left hand.
****
It was in front of a fountain surrounded by elaborately carved sculptures.
Starchis was there a little early.
It had already been promised.
Meet Rose first to review the contents once again,
After that, he decided to greet the party members arriving at the appointed place one by one.
The weather was chilly.
Evening was already getting a little deeper and getting darker.
The magic lights turned on one by one, revealing the way.
The moon rose in the sky and the stars began to hang.
It was as if they were preparing for an aristocratic party.
“… Are you okay?”
Stachis looked down at his clothes again.
While doing so, he also checked his own head reflected in the fountain.
It’s been a long time since I decorated like this, so I couldn’t judge properly.
It looked fine to me, but that’s what other people have to do too.
“Cool.”
A voice comes from behind.
Starchis looked back.
A pink-haired, pink-eyed woman and two huge men were walking.
The two men were baffled that Rose had spoken to Stachis.
The two of them were hurriedly scrambling as if they had nothing to do with Rose, but Rose said after seeing that.
“No. He knows I’m a noble. You don’t have to act.”
Only then did the two bodyguards sigh and approach Stachis.
Rose came dressed modestly in her clothes.
It’s like if you’re a commoner, you’d wear something like this.
For no reason, I wondered if Starchis had decorated himself too much.
“Wow.. It’s even cooler looking at it properly..”
As Starchis confronted her Rose, Rose continued her praise.
It wasn’t empty talk.
Rose was feeling her new charm when he decided and decorated her.
She hadn’t even met her a few times, but she was getting to know his numerous charms.
“The lady is pretty too.”
Stachis returned the compliment.
It was plain but cute nonetheless.
She felt like a simple country girl.
No one seemed to know that he was an aristocrat.
Rose felt her heart beat weakly at his praise her.
“Brother, it’s been a while. Do you remember me?”
Brooke greets Stachis from behind.
“How amazing. Are you the friend the lady spoke of?”
Pippin continues.
“Do you remember me?”
Starchis was quite surprised.
Stachis had met with these bodyguards before.
It was the first time I saw Rose.
Saying that there was a lady at the restaurant who came to experience the food of the common people, she showed sincerity and asked her to leave her seat her.
She was surprised that even these two bodyguards remembered her, as the meeting at the cafeteria on the first floor was unusual for her.
“I remember. He’s not an ordinary person, he’s someone who uses his body a bit of him.”
“At the time, I was actually a little nervous. I’m afraid there will be a fight.”
“Aha.. So.”
At the words of the bodyguards, Stachis nodded his head.
He thought it was a unique experience only for him, but he thought that these two bodyguards were the same when they saw him.
“Are you here to spy on me today?”
Starchis asked, looking at their clothes.
They were clothes that looked a little small.
Still, it didn’t stand out as much as the old black clothes.
Likewise, it was plain clothes like Rose.
“That’s right… I have to watch closely to see if they run away.”
“I am not running away. I already met the person I promised, so how can I run away from here?”
Rose retorts Pippin’s words.
“Well… We’ll have to wait and see.”
Pippin never let go of his doubts about how much he had suffered in the past.
“Hello.”
And in that situation, a greeting is heard.
Everyone was surprised and looked in the direction from which the voice had been heard.
Not good for detection.
A beauty full of decadence.
She was wearing a seductive dress that exposed her breasts to her.
It was Lily.
“…Sister?”
“See you again. Starches, Mr. Elzain. By the way…”
Asked Lily, pointing her hand at the guards politely.
“Who are these people?”
