“Now, now, Master; they won’t do it again so why not let them off the hook this once? You guys—you won’t do it again, right?”
“We won’t!”
“Really…..?”
Suspicious.
Why were devil brats called devil brats?
Because they were creatures that would feel regretful immediately after making people mad, but it would all be forgotten after a good night’s sleep.
Before long, they wouldn’t even feel sorry! Instead, they would pull their eyelid and stick their tongue out cheekily!
I glanced down at the three of them; their heads were bobbing up and down in unison.
“Well, I’m going to tell Belus about this. And Latho! You’re the eldest—why are you teaching them strange games? You’ll be helping out the village head with his chores. Understood?”
“Eeeeh?!”
“Understood?”
“Eh…”
“Un. der. stood?”
“Yes.”
Alright, that should be enough.
These two really do need to get back though—or else it would get too late.
“Then, let’s go home.”

“Yxj~s.”
I released them from seiza, then made my way to the front door with the three as they tottered along, as well as Bel.
“Ct! Dkbatfg!”

“Nice to meet you—I’m Bernard, an apprentice healer. ….Um, is it okay if I also call you Andrea-kun?”
“……”
“Eh?”
“No way.”
As if to spurn the older boy’s gentle voice, Andrea rejected him with a harsh tone.
“I will not have my name be called so familiarly by a commoner like you!”
“……..eh?”
“Don’t think you’re all that just because you’re older. You’re just a frivolous, pathetic guy.”
“……”
Sss… The whole area fell into a dead silence.
I could only see the back of his head, but Bel was probably—
“…..Ha. Hahaha. I see; I was discourteous! A waste like me frivolously called out to the Honorable noble scion of Moorwright, I truly deeply apologize! I will keep my distance from now on! Please, pardon me—I will excuse myself,”
Ah.
Bel turned away sharply and left with angry, loud footsteps.
I was stunned for a while by the sudden situation.
Andrea’s attitude gave me a shock.
Why on earth did he say such horrible things?
With a head full of doubts, I stared at him and had a hunch.
“….You—no way.”
“……”
Andrea, who had been left in the dust, was standing still like a stone and his face was deep red like he might burst into flames.
“….What, so you had a crush?”
“C–c–c–cru–crush? Nonsense! I don’t have a crush on that little runt!”
“Okay, whatever you say. But what you did just now was terrible. If you want to apologize, you should do it now.”
“…….Tch.”
“Timing is very important in these things.”
I knew because that was what I learned from my frequent fights with Jill.
“Poor Bel… he might be crying.”
“Urk.”
“It’s natural after all. When the heart is hurt, it’s normal for tears to come out, right?”
“I, I… I’m going to apologize!”
Saying that, Andrea demonstrated his leg power and disappeared in a flash.
To think his daily efforts would be rewarded in a place like this…
“Ah, the springtime of youth—”
“How young.”
“You are saying that…?”
At Latho and Guy’s words, I couldn’t help but let out a sigh.
