[Elmer]
Idiot, idiot!
“Idiot, was it…?”
A while had pa.s.sed since Leont ran out and left, but word ‘idiot’ was still going round and round in my mind.
Although the problem he took out was easy, I solved it at a considerably serious speed compared to Leont.
“…I need to study.”
My voice without energy leaked out together with a sigh.
What should I do to become intelligent? It’s studying. I have confidence in arithmetic. No, if math is no good then what about other subjects? For the time being, let’s go with history. I read a book once, but I wonder if it’s fine just that much?
While thinking about those things, I searched for the math book in the room. I looked for something suitable and began to solve it.
It’s surprisingly difficult. If I failed here, I’ll be laughed at by Leont.
“That’s right!”
After I began to write the proper solution, I noticed it. All the names of the theorem I remembered so far were different. Perhaps, they were named after the person who discovered them?
Because there’s nothing I can do about it, I’ll prove it from the beginning and carried on writing the numbers vigorously.
When I finished solving several questions, a lot of papers were scattered on the floor and around the desk.
“I can’t do it anymore.”
It’s natural because I haven’t studied for several years.
Getting off the chair without moving its feet, I extended my hand to pick up the papers which fell into the floor, but somebody quickly s.n.a.t.c.hed them away.
“Oh, my! You’re an expert!”
Uwaaaa! It was Lucsher-san who was in the room. I didn’t hear footsteps, so I didn’t notice at all and fell on my b.u.t.t in surprise.
“May I have these?”
She says so, but Lucsher-san was already holding several papers in her hands.
Anyway, I’m finished solving. I’ll be thankful if she throws it away, even if she preserves my scribbles… I think there’s no helping it.
Since there was no particular reason to decline, I nodded in agreement and Lucsher-san laughed in delight.
“If you’re finished studying, I want you to wear these Western-style clothes.”
“Western-style Clothes?”
“Please excuse me.”
When they saw Lucher-san pulled out those clothes from somewhere, a maid received them politely, and the two other maids took charge in taking off my clothes.
“Eh…”
Though I was used to being a.s.sisted on changing clothes after being reincarnated, I don’t like stripping in front of this many number of people, but the demon maid-san held my hand when I tried to run away.
“Please do not move.”
I did not know whether I was weak or she was just too strong, but in a blink of an eye, they finished putting the new clothes on me.
“It’s well-matched!”
“So cute~!”
Lucsher-san and the maids looked at me who have finished changing my clothes, and then unanimously praised me.
Eh? I felt like I’ve just heard a lot of voices.
When I looked over my shoulder to my back, standing there were a large amount of clothes secured on a hanger lined in a row and some maids holding them. The maids are members of the people who I saw in that room.
Still, it’s a terrifying number of clothes. All of these are mine…?
I looked at my clothes once again properly. The cuff also fits the cloth which seems to be expensive, it’s the so-called custom-tailored. Even I understand this is expensive.
No matter how they’re rich people, if I receive this do often, I feel guilty.
“By any chance, did you not like it? If so, this one—”
“I…I can’t accept it!”
I have to say it now. It’s slightly strange, but I’m certain that Matthias and Lucsher-san looks after me because they’re good people. The only thing I can seem to do to return the favor is by was.h.i.+ng dishes.
“Why is it? Don’t you like Western-style clothes?”
I stared at the pattern of the closed fan without looking up so I can’t see Lucsher-san’s face, and said.
“That’s not it…”
That’s right. I remembered it while speaking. The loneliness I felt when I saw the outside world. These people don’t know that I’m someone who came from a different world.
“That’s not it, I’m not really a child… these much clothes… someone like me…”
I often thought I had no parents, so if I can have food and a place to live then it’s enough. And I must not forget it. The fact that ‘I’ am different from this person who is supposed to be ‘me’.
“That is…”
Lucsher-san’s right hand which was holding the trembled, and the huge sound of wood breaking resounded.
“Who would, dare say that? Who would dare?”
For every word Lucsher-san said, the temperature of the room rapidly rose.
“Eh..That…”
“Someone like me…”
I wanted to raise my voice in denial but I only let out a small muttered grumble, and she didn’t seem to hear me.
“El-chan? As for me, I trully think that you are a child, so that sort of thing, you can’t say it!”
The folding fan completely burst into flames at the same time Lucher-san said those words.
It’s hot.
The flame gradually spreads all over the room while winding similar to a snake. My body felt hot at the same time, too.
“That’s because, you are my child, got it?”
Agitated, I merely heard those words in fragments.
My real feelings. I wonder if they leaked out because I met a ‘mother’ for the first time.
I answered in earnest. It’s a litte hot so it seemed slightly forced.
Is this supposed to be the place where I can belong?
