[Noelia : United Front]
※Noelia’s POV
I see off the back figure of Frick-sama who is going to the forest where the giant horse seems to be.
After all, he seems to really like that giant horse.
Even his back that I saw off seemed radiating wholehearted joy.
Beginning with Dimol, Frick-sama seems to be really interested in finding intelligent beast.
Suzana commented on his figure, saying that it was similar to the appearance of a man when he went to a woman who he was interested in.
“Is Frick going to meet his lover? Is Noelia the type who allow her husband to have an affair?”
The bone bird that took the role of Cinzia-sama’s eyes perched on my shoulder and whispered.
Hearing those words, I unintentionally imagined myself becoming Frick-sama’s wife.
Me, Frick-sama’s wife…
I wish he does not if possible, but with his appearance, women won’t leave him alone.
Ahh, but after all cheating is… wait, no!
Why am I getting ahead of myself even though we haven’t even dating yet!
I was ashamed of myself for having such immodest imagination, and I felt my face getting hot soon after.
“Cinzia-sama, Frick-sama and I aren’t in that kind of relationship…”
“Oh my~, is that so? Your mother, Florina, ran out of her parents’ house because she hated her fiancé who was too ugly; she was the type who ferociously attack the man who she liked, so I thought her daughter inherited her carnivorous lineage. But it seems that what was inherited was the bad points of the husband.”
As Linus-shishou’s disciple, Cinzia-sama shared a desk with mother Florina in the period when they were learning magic, so of course she knew why mother left her parents’ house.
“M-mother is mother. Frick-sama and I only have a master-disciple relationship—”
“Hee~, looking from outsider perspective, Noelia obviously madly in love with Frick though~. Hee~, master-disciple relationship huh~. Hee~.”
Cinzia-sama flew around me and talked as if to make fun of me.
At that time, a thin iron plate hit the bone bird, it broke apart and fell to the ground.
“The bones over there! Even if you are a master of magic, I will not show you mercy if you keep making fun of Noelia Ojou-sama.”
“Hey, you already act first though! I’m only an existence made up of bones and empty armor, so I’m not injured, but if it was a person, they would be seriously injured you know!”
“That’s why I did it! I can distinguish between a person and something that is not a person after all.”
Suzana who was pinching a thin iron plate between her fingers was about to start a fight with Cinzia.
“Suzana, please refrain yourself. I’m fine. Cinzia-sama, my apology. My maid has been rude toward you.”
“Noelia Ojou-sama!?”
“I think it was completely Suzana’s fault just now. Apologize to Cinzia-sama.”
After I rebuked Suzana, I got in between them and picked up the bones of Cinzia that had fallen to the ground.
“…Cinzia-sama, please forgive me for my rudeness.”
Though she was silent for a moment, Suzana dropped on her knees, bowed her head, and apologized to Cinzia.
“Well~, it’s fine. I’m not injured either~. Still, even Frick can’t calmly confess with a combat maid who really loves Noelia around.”
Having been restored to a bird’s form, this time, Cinzia perched on the shoulder of Suzana who apologized and began to whisper.
“Cinzia-sama seems to have misunderstood something, but I also think that Frick-sama is the suitable groom for Noelia Ojou-sama. He is the person who made the magic otaku Noelia-sama remember her womanhood and made her captivated.”
“H-hey! Suzana!”
It’s true that I wasn’t interested in romance until I met Frick-sama, and it’s also true that I’m a magic otaku.
However, when it was said straight to my face, I felt embarrassed and strange sweat oozed out of my body.
“Ah~, she got Florina’s blood after all. She’s a daughter who exquisitely draws the blood of the late bloomer Lloyd and the magic otaku Florina. I see, it sure made me feel annoyed. Perhaps I should help as well.”
“Cinzia-sama, are you saying that you would like to help Noelia Ojou-sama confess to Frick-sama?”
Hearing Cinzia words, Suzana’s eyes shined sharply.
I-I feel that this talk is heading toward a dangerous direction.
I-I wonder if it’s okay to leave them to their device.
I could only nervously watch the two of them, wondering whether I should stop them.
“Alright~. It seems interesting after all.”
“Well then, we will have a truce temporarily; I welcome you as a comrade in the united front to get a groom for Noelia-sama.”
Suzana asked for a handshake from the bone bird that was perching on her shoulder.
On the other hand, Cinzia also presented her bone wing, and the fight was settled.
“U-umm… You two… I sincerely ask you, please don’t be a bother to Frick-sama. I sincerely, sincerely implore you.”
“It’s okay. It’s okay. Though Noelia has no boobs, her face is cute; depending on how she does it, she will definitely make even Frick submit. Even though I look like this, when I still have my body, I was called the bewitching witch of Inbahanes; I’m a master of love. Leave it to me.”
Flying flutteringly, the bone bird perched on my shoulder and whispered so.
“I-is that so? If I receive guidance from Cinzia-sama, even Frick-sama…”
“Yeah~. First of all, you have to change what you’re wearing. Keep the skirt short, and although you have no breasts, you have to at least show your neckline.”
The full-body armor, her real body, began to move, and lifted up my skirt, and the bone bird pulled down my clothes.
“I-I have to expose this much skin!? I-it’s a little—”
“The dress you wore at time of the dinner also made Frick-sama reacted. A not so flashy sex appeal is—”
“N-noo… this kind of appearance…”
Afterward, the lecture time for the magic theory of the Employment magic was changed; it became a Frick-sama capture strategy meeting with the addition of Suzana; various ideas came up, but I didn’t have the courage to carry out any of them.
While we were doing such a thing, Frick-sama returned from the forest, riding on the giant horse, so the meeting was naturally disbanded.
