Duke, Please Repent! chapter 256

47. The Duke's Advantage (3)

No? Come to think of it, that's a bit true! Why do I have to be insulted?

"Are you the one who asked me to swear?"

When I started arguing with Serpence, he countered with an absurd expression.

I will accept it that way. If I had known this would be the case, I would ask for another curse.

I didn't mean to say that.

More than that, didn't I tell you to change the habit of cheating first when others compliment you?

Isn't it too rude to turn around just because you're at a disadvantage?

"So did you or didn't you?"

did it, did it

I guess I am also a cowardly adult.

I'm sorry to Serppens, who has a gloomy expression on his face, but I want to avoid that topic. If the words are long, the words 'that kind of taste' come into his mouth.

may be

It was all due to Humanus instilling strange knowledge into Serpens. Serpens is right to blame Humanus, not me.

But think about it. I'm not denying praise. I'm just answering your questions about my actions.

"Uh ? It sounds like something I've heard?"

When I agreed to it, his expression brightened slightly. He's just a simple guy.

"Then why is it so difficult to say that you are handsome?"

Usually everyone has a hard time.

Don't rationalize it by saying that you're not confident in yourself. Serpense's face is not at the level of a normal person!

...Is that tidy?

Finally, my infusion education started to shine.

How many years have I lived in a country where all education is instilled?

It's a bit daunting, but I mean, it's about coercing a child who is dying of suffocation... .

"Shion, do you know that you're making a very villainous expression right now?"

Okay. You didn't even help. I'm disappointed, Euges.

"I believed that if it was Zion, he would do well without my help."

Eugene smiled brightly.

I had just told Serpense not to deny compliments, so it's hard to argue with anything.

I didn't see it that way, but Eugenes is also a bit sarcastic.

"Well , anyway. Serpense, don't be shy about praising yourself. If you say you're going to love yourself, why are you ashamed of that? It's ugly in Serpense's eyes when I say that I care and love you. Did you see it?

Absolutely not.

sure?

HO oh... " --9 - 口

Then how was it? Yes? Yes?

When I begged him, he shrugged his neck like a tortoise and tried to have a conversation with his eyes.

But I declined to receive it. I've given him a few compliments, but I can't go on like this.

I am also a person who deserves praise. And giving praise would also be a good education.

"Do you really have to say that ?"

There is no expression of communication as clear as language. It may be possible to some extent with eyes and gestures, but distortion can occur as much as subjective judgment is involved.

There is only one. It also lacks specificity.

I don't think so...?

Serpence tilted her head with an expression that she did not understand.

No, it's not what it is.

What nonsense is that?

"Isn't that what you were going to say to me?"

If you're thinking of avoiding it with strange words, don't even dream of it! Come on, praise me!

Hey, shameless...

He praised my dignity with a look of regret. Not the kind of compliment I was hoping for.

It looked great until I added this bad word to the end.

He should know that it was he who added strange words to the back, not me.

I know that Serpence was just shy, but I have something to tell you after talking.

"Serpence, don't be too stingy with compliments. Whether that's a compliment to others or a compliment to yourself.

It is said that the recipient is happy, but in fact, it is more beneficial to the person who does it."

"What do you mean?"

It's good to be liked, you don't even need to explain it. The more you praise, the more it means that his ability to recognize strengths also improves.

"Is this the calculation that the more you praise, the better you will praise, and the more people will like you?"

Didn't your intentions suddenly become impure?!

that I suddenly scold myself

Thinking about it, Serpense's expression softened.

But it's a misunderstanding caused by the guy intervening before I even finished my words.

"There are benefits to that, too, but that's not what I meant to say."

then?

To put it in an easy-to-understand way for Serpens, it meant that you can develop a 'positive view'. This is very important. If you know your own strengths, you can love yourself. If you know the strengths of others, you can see and learn and develop.

You can do it, and if you feel good in something, it becomes a hobby, and if you find good in things, it becomes a treasure of Serpence."

洛

This is so good, that is good. If you think that way, the world will automatically be filled with the things Serpens like. It will also fill you with happiness.

yes... army.

As always. Serpence slowly pondered my words with a serious expression.

He is truly a good student to teach and a good child to raise.

Okay then, second!

Well?

Tell me about the second advantage.

Ah .

I guess I was thinking too deeply. Serpens woke up a beat later and nodded.

"Um , is it on the strong axis in Continental Certification?"

Well, that's fine. I don't like the fact that there are limited conditions, but that's enough for me.

It's not pretty. Well done.

Serpense's face brightened noticeably after receiving the praise.

After all, I am a (twenty) six-year-old, so it is said that I really like being praised. Of course, I am also very happy to see you.

There is nothing that pleases the person who compliments you more than seeing a face you like after receiving a compliment.

If a compliment makes a whale dance, the opposite holds true. When a whale dances, it tastes like a compliment.

Then third!

"I objectively see myself "

Ding! Ding Ding!

What the hell is this kid talking about?

Occasionally, there are people who criticize everything and say that they are objective and cold-hearted.

So it's easy to misunderstand, but in fact, he's just a negative person in everything.

I took a deep breath as I looked at Serpens who was bewildered.

"The thing that Serpens can't do the most is

Is it that?"

is not it?

How can you put the word objective into a subject that has been criticized for being subjectively criticized until now?!

" Then, how am I supposed to evaluate myself to be objective?"

I have to go talk about how good I am!

Specifically, how?

I reflexively opened my mouth and tried to pour out his strengths one after another, then paused.

Kneeling to gain momentum

Said it was for This bastard said that, knowing that I was going to shout 'Ding!

It was a sneaky trick to get a model answer.

Serpens. Don't use that fine hair for something like this..., oh shit!

"Third, are you on the good side?"

what anyone can see.

Why does this guy only admit it as his strength after being confirmed by my mouth?

"Okay, okay! I did say the good points though, so I'll admit it. Instead, today is the fourth!"

"Isn't that a promise! How can you change your words while swearing by my Milfeeuil?"

Is this bastard doing this because he's worried that Milfeuille might be blown away, or is he doing this because he doesn't have anything that comes to mind right now?

As I looked at the face of the boy stained with a sense of betrayal, I became somewhat confused.

Did you cheat? Cheating is bad.

will. You even tried to elicit an answer from me! Even so, are you dissatisfied with the fact that I generously gave you a trio shop? Yes?

With a timid, low voice, Serpens seized the boo boo.

There is no objection to what I said, but it seems to be considered disrespectful nonetheless.

How do you feel about your master's behavior like that, Winston, a knight?

Huh! Ni-, I mean?! That, that's what it is .

Do you think it would be better to fix it?

You are a loyal knight of this era, and he speaks the right words without hesitation!

You haven't said anything yet !

You were going to do it anyway? Why don't I understand Winston's heart? I understand.

Are you always like this?

Instead of talking to me, Winston turned to Eugenes and asked her a question. A very bad habit.

Usually, it's not like this, but Sion was a lot more red today. Oh, but in a way, it's usually more...

"Can you explain in detail?"

I'll give it to you.

Winston shook his head with a look of exasperation.

Seeing him like that, Euges smiled quietly. Whether it is late or early, this is probably because they know that they will have to get used to it after going on this trip.

If you drink together, you'll get used to it faster. Come to think of it, I heard that the sake of the Terra Room Kingdom is so famous .

Okay, then, hurry up to the fourth.

Wow! If I finish this quickly, won't I be able to eat Milfeu Yuu or something?

...a lot of money?

Uh] Rai, that's what I said too!

I picked up what I put into my strengths and ate it like a ghost.

Still, it's a shame that I didn't clearly point this out because it's his strength!

So, why don't you serve Milfeuille...? No snacks today...?

Ugh...!

Didn't you say you're handsome?

Serpence, who began to gain confidence in his face, looked at me eagerly, with a brighter face than usual.

If expressed numerically, the brightness is well over 1 million lux. Had there been a tool to measure this, it would have exploded with a pop.

Well, then, just one more! Are you filling only five? Half is good, half!

Isn't this the intention to fill the 10s in this way?

No! I'm really into this today.

End! Can we just say one more thing and finish it?"

With the heart of a parent begging to put the last spoonful of leftover baby food in their child's mouth, I gently soothed Serpence.

Gently swiping his back and chanting 'one more thing, the stubbornly hardened face loosened little by little.

The fifth is to think about the merits.

"Do you eat sweets well?"

''Yes? Is that an advantage?"

"The advantage isn't it? If not, why did you praise it?"

..?

We looked at each other and shook our heads.

"No, um I praised him before feeding him meatballs but watching Serpens eating sweet things, I also looked at him with the eyes of 'That's right, that's right!'"

Did you?

Take advantage of the numerous advantages you have

The first thing that came to mind after thinking about it for a long time was that the first good thing that came to mind was just to eat sweet things?!

Serpence, you bastard, are you really okay with this? is this the best Are you sure?

The advantage is... isn't it?

The boy's eyes fluttered. Withered fence, which had grown pale, made an unconfident expression.

Even though I doubted that I was just throwing it out because I wanted to eat Milfeuille, I thought of what it would be like if that was true.

'My child wants to eat! You want me to eat like this!'

After all, eating spicy food is a good thing and proud, but what else can't be good about eating sweet things?

Serpens are really good at eating sweets.

Put two marshmallows in Dadidan Hot Chocolate and drink it to the point of liking it.

Okay, I take it as an advantage!

I took the Mil-Feuille I had bought in advance from my pocket and placed it on the table.

all.

The wither fence became a fresh fence.
