336 336, Swallow Morning

I explained the situation to Alec when I entered the inn and settled down.

"You are. You were such a foolish nobleman, too, who would do whatever he wanted if he ordered.

Alec seemed just a little sad.

"That's why I'm sorry about the house, but I don't need it anymore. I don't think Alec and Soldane's friendship will change, though. But maybe Soldane's right. I'm getting a little worried about my life in Alec's capital.

"In this case, if Curse went back to Kutanutsu alone, it wouldn't change my mind. I'm just going to interpret Curse as leaving first, deciding that I'm okay on my own. So don't worry.

"So is that. I guess I worry a little too much. Because Alec is so pretty and cute.

"Curse...//"

Then I mouthed Alec's red lips for the first time. The contents may be disgusting to the old man's habits, but it made my chest sound pretty loud. Alec also told me, "My heartbeat is amazing"... embarrassing.

Nevertheless, I'm glad Alec is safe and well enough to escape.

That night we slept trying to hug each other in the same bed. I'm sure you'll have a good dream.

In the morning, I was the one who woke up first. Apparently, the chaser didn't come... the range alert I left all over the room was unresponsive. I can't stay alert yet.

There's a knock. Breakfast, I guess.

When I opened the door, there was the guide and Soldane. When the clerk left for breakfast, she opened her mouth and said, "I'm sorry!

Sordane has been impetuous and bowing her head and apologizing. Alec woke up with that voice, too.

"Oh dear. Soldane just arrived. And breakfast.

"Morning, Sol to Curse. You're early.

"We're both sorry about yesterday. You came to stay because of me..."

"Soldane doesn't have to apologize, but do you know what's going on? Well, let's talk while we eat.

That's where it matters, right? I understand you came all the way here. But you've found this place a lot. He must have waited until morning before coming.

"Yeah, I'm gonna know. My brother says you attacked me suddenly, vandalized my room, and ran away. A maid with an aunt was listening to you from Curse. I've been apologizing for not being able to stop you.

Uh, that maid comes with an aunt. Is there a maid for each individual in the Borderline House?

Let me explain it to you from my mouth.

"That's why you don't have to talk about the house.

"No, I've been telling your mother about that, so it's okay. Don't worry about it. What more can I do than that? No matter how much you apologize, you don't apologize enough.

"Um, then how about we send a letter of apology to the Alexandres as the Borderline Uncle?

"That would be nice. Then we won't be doing weird imitations in the future, and Curse is safe.

"Okay. I'll tell my mother. Curse, you have..."

"You don't need it, do you? You can even put your name in the corner of the letter of apology to the Alexandre family. I feel like getting a letter of apology or something to the Martins would be a hassle.

Are you sure about this? A letter of apology from home is quite serious...

"Yes... thank you for not taking care of it. My brother was intact... and the room was scratched but intact. The wounds in the room are my brother's magic, right?

"That's right. You used the magic of the wind.

"But my brother is the tenth in the fourth grade of magic school. Still, you won't be dealing with him... and Elizabeth won't be dealing with less than second place either.

Oh, that's my sister. It's troublesome, but I have to tell you about this one. Is it bad?

"Alec, I'm sorry I rescheduled my date, but should I go to my sister?

"Yeah, fine. I have to explain it to your sister, too.

Soldane is sober. I guess he said he was sorry he had to reschedule his date.

Then we've had breakfast, too, and let's go to the magic school dorm. I would have liked to take a morning bath.
