Chapter28，Part3

“Maro, do you want to play?”

“Yes.”

Maro nodded his head vigorously, seemingly having been bored. At his age, with this reaction, it would seem that he could be corrected so that he would not become a sub-human hater in the future. I said I would play with him as soon as I could, but what should I play with Maro, who seemed to be physically weak?

“There’s a carp in the pond. Want to see?”

“Yes.”

Maro invited me towards the pond. It might be a good idea, given his poor physical condition.

We both went to the pond and saw colorful green and blue carp, which looked like tropical fish.

“There’s no pretzels today, so there’s no food.”

“Do you like pretzels?”

“Well, Alice, she wasn’t here today, so…”

“Do you know her?” Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ N0ᴠᴇFɪre.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

“I’m just watching from the shadows. She’s cute and energetic, that Alice?”

“…”

As expected of the heroine. Although he said he was only watching from the shadows, with the way Maro’s face turned red, it seems that he was captivated by her.

Maybe I should keep a little distance from this kid…

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing…”

“Ah.”

Maybe it was because he was distracted by thinking too much, or maybe it was because he was tired, but when Maro tried to help me up, he fell down….

He went down with a thud.

“”…””

And we both fell into the pond.

＊

“I, I am sorry about that.”

“No.”

It was my fault. I dropped a frail child on a pond.

But fortunately, the rest area was equipped with a shower room. I thought I could magically dry his clothes, so I tried to take a bath with him, but Maro resisted.

The difference between a male and female of 4~5 years was just a matter of measurement. I didn’t care whether he could see me or not.

“What’s that?”

“No, you can’t take that.”

“I won’t take it.”

Maro hides the necklace, which was enclosed in what appeared to be a crystal plate, with his hands. Was it important?

I peeled off Maro’s wet clothes for now, and when we took a shower together, Maro turned bright red.

“Nn?”

“Nah, nothing.”

Maro idly peered into the crystal on his necklace. Could it possibly be some sort of magnifying glass?

While I was drying my clothes after taking a bath, Maro kept looking at the crystal.

“Um, father should almost be done with his business, so I’ll go now, okay?”

“Uh-huh.”

I guess it wasn’t a good idea to force him into the bath after all. I felt a little distant from him.

Well, there was no chance that he would see Carol again, so I didn’t mind.

But I wonder what that necklace really was.

“Hello, Maron. I didn’t know you were here.”

“Yes.”

Maro smiled a little in response to the voice of the young man, who seemed to be a butler.

“We’re about to be finished with the Master’s conversation, so please get ready…Maron, were you using that magical tool again? Did you find anything unusual?”

.

When the butler casually asked, Maro’s cheeks flushed and his expression changed to that of a pervert.

“…elves are nice, aren’t they?”

“…hah?”

“Their skin is white and smooth…”

“Young Master…?”

“…No, it’s nothing.”

“Well, don’t be too interested in sub-humans, Maron-sama is the son of the Master who is the first court mage of this country after all.”

“…Un.”

Returning to the mansion, Maro holed himself up in a hidden room in his room, and removed the necklace and attached it to a special mage tool.

The walls of the room were covered with what appeared to be a large number of “hidden” photographs, mostly of Alice and other beautiful girls, taken without permission.

The necklace was a rare magical tool, purchased from another continent, that could precisely photograph landscapes, and had been given to Maro by his late grandfather, along with this hidden room.

Maro took the newly printed large-format photographs from the grimoire and pasted several of them on the walls of the room with a grin.

“…Elf-san.”

Carol had been surpassed. She was splendidly baited by a stalker of the worst kind.
