18 Lady Wants To Help The Black Knight 5

The gently connected hands are naturally placed on the seat of the sofa between the two. This is the distance between Sofia and Gilbert now.

"Aren't you amazed? ─ ─ I heard something extra...."

"No, if you work here, you'll need the knowledge. I know. I'm the one who gave the job."

Gilbert's voice sounded softer than usual to reassure Sofia. That kindness hurts Sofia now. Kindness, unfamiliar with receiving it, did not give me room to defend my heart.

"─ ─ I touch Sofia because it feels good."

Sofia raised her face in one word. It seems to be the answer to my question and I still don't know anything, but I don't think it's like Gilbert. I don't know much, but all Gilbert ever said was for Sofia.

"That's...."

What does that mean? Gilbert's right hand with his index finger touched his lips as he continued. Don't say anything? Sofia didn't lean down, confused by the sudden sensation and blushing her face. I didn't want to run away just now because of the serious color in Gilbert's eyes.

"I am reading the shake of magic, not the will. ─ ─ It was my first time. Touching it, I couldn't see anything."

Sofia watched. Gilbert's eyes have a definite heat lurking behind serious colors.

"It may be annoying for Sofia, but I need the time to touch you."

Master Gilbert ─ ─

Gilbert took the little key out of his pocket and handed it to Sofia. Numbered tags and keys bump into each other on the palm of your hand and squeal.

"It's the key to Sofia's room. It is located next to the stairs on the third floor. I carried the luggage, but let me know if there's anything missing. There's a servant bath on the third floor... but I don't mind using the bathroom in this room."

Sofia shook her shoulders in surprise.

"Um, I'm in the public bath too...."

"Showers and dryers in the public baths are all magical objects."

Sofia watched. I can't help but relax from my connected hands. Gilbert attracted his hands, as if they represented Sofia's emotions. Indeed, the feeling of being connected and the heat from your hands shake Sofia's heart violently.

"─ ─ Master Gilbert's kindness is... terrifying."

Sofia with her eyes down remembers the kindness of her parents and Alberto. Already lost parents and a former fiancé who left. I was afraid of being gentle and distracted. Sofia thinks Gilbert's kindness is sweeter than his parents' and calmer than Alberto's. Like forbidden fruit, I couldn't help but eat it. I was afraid of it.

"Why are you crying? ─ ─ I don't know unless I say so."

Sofia saw Gilbert with her eyebrows down in trouble and understood correctly what she had heard before. Was it really true that I had to say it?

"No... thank you, Master Gilbert."

Sophia, who made a smile by twisting her face, was anxious whether she was laughing properly. Gilbert takes his hand off Sofia with a lonely expression and gently strokes his head.

"─ ─ Take a bath first. If you use the bathtub water, you can drain it."

If you know that there is warmth in the words that sounds blurry, it will turn into a gentle color. Sofia missed Gilbert as she stood up and walked away.

The third floor is used as a living space for servants, and some rooms are used as warehouses. Gilbert told me that the room was just up the stairs. Make sure it's the same as the number on the key, and Sofia opens the key and the door. Relying on the hallway lights to illuminate the room, I touched the lamp on the table that came into my eyes. Right next to it is a box of matches. Sofia rubbed it with her familiar hands and lit the light.

Rest assured in a thinly lit room, close the door and lock the inner lock. If we continued to light the wall lights, Sofia's room would be bright enough.

"─ ─ This is so awkward..."

Sofia looked around the room in a daze. Window-covered curtains, closets, a desk by the window, and a tea table in the center of the room. The bedding is not big, but it seems soft. Simple ones will probably be provided in the servant's room. I was surprised at the adequacy of the tuning, but Sofia noticed the light that she had lit earlier. Cute wall lights inspired by blue flowers and lamps on desks and tea tables with matching designs. Matches are placed on each side. They were comfortably familiar with the decorative rooms. I feel relieved by those prepared only for Sofia.

I walked to the tea table and stroked the surface with my fingertips. Looking casually at the lamp, a white card was placed next to it. Take it in your hands and return it to the front. Sophia dyed her cheeks into the short words spelled there.

─ ─ To make you laugh, G.F.

"... Dear Gilbert"

When did Gilbert put the card here? The heat that was supposed to have cooled down once lit up in your heart. With only one drop of tears, Sofia gently pulled the card into her chest with both hands.
