Somehow, The Villainess Who Regressed in Time Lost Her Magic Power, so She Turned into a Secluded Maiden - 137 2-19 Louis Perspective
After Marcel’s Marquis, I wrapped my robe around my clothes and wandered into a tavern in the back alley of the city.
When I signaled the owner to polish the glass inside the noisy shop and counter, I was guided to a private room located deep inside the dark shop.Excluding the room from the small glass on the door, there was a person sitting there facing away from us.
After confirming that I nodded, the owner left a word of “slow” and disappeared to the noise again.
Concentrate and knock before entering the room without waiting for a reply.
It’s still here.
“… what do you want? I’m on vacation now.And you and I are in the Cold War. ”
Without looking at us, Theodore raised his eyebrows in a mood and vigorously stirred up the jock in his hand.Turning to the side, I took a seat across from Theodore.
Looking across the street, Theodore realizes that he looks as sinking as the Marquis Marcel.
“So, being here meant you wanted to buy some kind of information?”
It’s none of your business.
“It’s a big deal…. looking behind the man who attacked Rachel in the militia forest…”
Theodore put his left arm on his back and said, “What if?”She narrowed her eyes as she said.I’m sure they’re searching for our true intentions.
Unexpectedly, I am losing my trust from Theodore in this world.
This tavern, some of which the owner is famous for as an informant, was introduced to it by Theodore in the past.
According to the materials we checked earlier, the nobles were behind the bandits who attacked Rachel.However, we have not reached the mastermind at this stage.The speed of the investigation is not too fast, because the nobles are the opponents.
In Cyril’s story, Theodore and I in the world said that we had aggravated our relationship after an argument about Rachel’s assault.
So Theodore’s not convinced of Rachel’s death.Just like I am now.
If it were you, I would dispose of all the people involved.So maybe Theodore can’t deny the possibility of moving in the same way.
However, I was half-hearted as to whether Theodore would move for Rachel.Because in the former world, Theodore and Rachel are friendly.But in a world where Rachel didn’t lose his magic, it didn’t seem like Rachel and Theodore had much contact.
Still, Theodore acts with Rachel in mind more than himself in this world. That’s why…
“No, I appreciate it.”
“What the…”
Theodore shook his voice when he revealed his frustration to me as he lay his eyes down and laughed at himself.
I’m sure there’s disappointment and disgust in me for not doing anything but letting Rachel die.
But the words of gratitude are my true heart now.
“I believe you more than I do in this world.”
“What about it?”
“… since I’ve been here, I’ve only been disappointed in myself.
Did I lament the absence of Rachel?Did you regret it?
… of course time went by, and of course I was on official business.That’s the only fact I’ve ever seen in this world. ”
I don’t know what Rachel in this world thought or what it was like to go to the monastery.How terrified you were at the moment of death.
Did you think about it in this world?There is no way to know even that.
“Louis, I don’t know what that means.”
“… ahh, I guess.”
Theodore calmed down his frustration and turned his caring gaze to me.
“What happened?”
The question sounded like a Theodore.But since I’ve been here, I’ve been feeling a bit nervous enough to break down the walls that covered my surroundings in an attempt to protect it.
– You must have been scared, me.
Covering his pathetic face with his hands, he sighed deeply.
I might lose Rachel.I may not have been able to protect Rachel.
We may not be able to return to the original world.
Face forward and decide with your heart that you won’t give up, but your fear is still with you.
“… I realized my powerlessness and weakness.”
“It’s unusual… no, it’s the first time. It’s hard to show people how weak Louis is.
But… well, it’s a strange encounter. I’ve been getting sick of my helplessness lately. ”
“You?”
“Ah, this is me…. if the cost of losing is not too great, people won’t be aware of the unpleasant fact that they were distracted.”
Theodore lowered his eyebrows while poking the olive pin with his index finger.
“So what? I don’t think I’m here to cry.”
“Ah, I’m going to end this crying right now.So… I have a favor to ask of you. ”
I’m sure this fear will never go away, no matter how much you try to deceive yourself.Still, because there are allies who believe in themselves, reach out, and push their backs, don’t stop.
Close your eyes and take a deep breath.With that alone, I feel that the water level of the shaken mind will be slightly calm.
And I looked straight at Theodore waiting for my words.
Theodore, I need your help.
And “That’s it,” I lowered my head toward Theodore.
Even without looking at my face, I felt Theodore breathing into my actions.That will be the case. I often asked Theodore to help me, but I didn’t do anything to make myself look weak.
But strangely enough, I remember Theodore telling me, “It’s always a bad thing to try to do something alone.”
I don’t know where they told me.But I feel saddened by the fact that I don’t rely on them.
That’s why, in order to break this situation, which you can’t do on your own, you expose everything and sincerely say your wish.
Being first to change something will change your behavior.
