153 Alone friend (for Gilbert and Mathias) 1

"Stay quiet with Hans."

"What...?

And Gilbert used magic. It wasn't long before Sofia came to the Marquis of Forster. We went shopping together, went home and saw the stars on the roof of the mansion to hear about Sofia.

Sofia asked me that time.

"Why are you keeping secrets from Hans?

That would be a natural question. A good adult told his servant to hide and use his magic. Something seems to be wrong with that.

"Hans doesn't like me using this magic. When I was a kid, I was careful when I wore clothes regardless of the season, ever since."

Sofia laughed at me then. Until then, the strong expression was soft and loose, reassuring.

Even now, some time after getting married, Gilbert sees the stars with Sofia and uses this magic every time.

That was when Gilbert was a kid.

Gilbert was a good and troublesome kid at the time. The tutor praised me, and the sword teacher told me that I had good strength, and I had unfounded confidence. I felt like I could do anything.

From that time on, Gilbert had a great deal of magic and was forced to live without magic tools. Not to mention that at that time, there was still no magic control bracelet, and all the old tools were used in life. At that time, there were no magical objects in the Marquis apart from the servants' section.

It seems that it was from birth that I understood the human mind that I touched, regardless of my own will. My mother, Christina, said that she was a red child who cried so often that she would be in trouble. It was not until he grew up and began to speak that he realized that Gilbert was reading the shake of magic. Of course, Gilbert himself doesn't remember that.

Nevertheless, Gilbert was doing well. Although it was only in the unlikely event that I would play with children my age, my family was all kind, and the adults I usually deal with were genuinely impressed by Gilbert's high potential. There was a happy world where there was nothing wrong with reading the shake of magic.

That's why the incident happened.

"Dear Gilbert, Please, stop playing with your jacket off. Everyone will be surprised because we have visitors today."

The season is winter. The outside air is very cold. Against Hans, who came to pick Gilbert up in his coat from the top of his uniform, Gilbert magically raised the temperature around him and wandered around the garden in light clothes. As usual, I am used to being embarrassed by Hans. As for Gilbert, I don't care if I catch a cold, so the difference in thought is irrelevant.

"I'm sorry, Hans, do you have my jacket?

"Yes, this way. Please put this on and stop using magic."

Gilbert took his jacket from Hans's hand and put it on honestly. I already know that there is no point in saying it back. But the cold ones were cold, so I kept using the magic secretly.

"Gilbert should be back in time, as there are some strangers here today."

"Yeah, I'll be right back."

Gilbert didn't like the people in the subdivision. They don't know Gilbert can read magic swings. I knew that there was a lot of magic, and it seemed ridiculous to think that they were trying to put their position at the top by despising the inconvenience.

Nevertheless, visitors are visitors. I have to go even if I don't want to. Gilbert sighed as he dragged his heavy feet.

"It's been a while."

"Count, it's been a while."

"Please take your time."

From those who arrived at the Mansion, they lined up to greet Elvin and Christina. In response, the servants guided them to the cafeteria one after the other.

"Welcome."

Gilbert was dressed up and greeting his parents the same way. I didn't like tough greetings, but Gilbert and the Marquis of Forster had a human consciousness.

The historic Marquises of Forster had many divisions, each with a different title and a different name. It's not a big difference as a faction, but it's generally difficult to say that we're close. Christina also told me not to touch the people in the branch.

Gilbert, you've grown up, too.

Hide in Elvin's shadow, pretending to be a familiar adult reaching out to stroke his head. That way most people laughed and forgave me.

"─ ─ Thank you very much."

Lower your head slightly with your face out. You'll look polite. It's a common technique because you're a child.

After all the greetings, there was a dinner party in the cafeteria, and the adults were supposed to have a meeting in the hall. In the meantime, the children seem to play on the grounds of the mansion. Gilbert was supposed to be back in his room as soon as the dinner party was over.
