I think I've cried too much just today, but emotions are hard to control.
It's probably because everything I've been storing up until now was released today.
Otherwise, I don't think she could have cried like that.
If I wasn't a wiseman, I'm sure I would have a terrible face right now.
I'm very thankful that I didn't have a bad face, because I'm planning to meet Augusto-san's mother's doctor.
A wise man's body is really useful.
As a result, I confided everything to Cinza-san and Alfred-san, and my heart felt so much lighter.
It seems that I really have been accumulating a lot of stress.
It's not that I wasn't aware of it, but I didn't really know how much I had accumulated, so I guess it can't be helped.
"...... Apologies for the outburst."
"No, it's fine."
"Yeah, yeah, don't worry about it."
Despite the fact that I showed them crying so much, both Cinza-san and Alfred-san didn't seem to mind at all.
I think I've troubled them, but they even look a little happy about it, I wonder what’s going on, what’s happening inside them right now.
No, uhn, I don’t mind though?
More importantly, I'm sorry that I'm going to cause you both so much heartache.
In the end, it seems that Cinza-san feels the same way about both me and myself, so the problem will be the people who know the original Augusto-san before I entered.
If I want to keep them in the dark, that's fine, but there's no way I can avoid explaining to those brothers.
"I just want to confirm one thing."
When I called out to Alfred-san, he looked at me as if it was obvious.
"What is it?"
"About the Cherbourg brothers, do you think I should tell them about me?"
I was thinking that it would be too much trouble, so I should just tell them.
When I thought about whether or not I could trust the brothers, I felt that the older brother was probably fine.
However, I have some concerns about the younger brother.
He's better than Alfred-san, but he loves Augusto-san.
"...... Your tone of voice has become that of Master, is that alright?"
"To tell you the truth, my tone of voice makes me sick.
It seems that this tone of voice is ingrained in my body, but if it makes you uncomfortable, I’ll stop."
I wanted to talk to him as me, but when I opened my mouth to speak, I got goosebumps and a creepy feeling of discomfort, so I had no choice but to change my tone back.
I had no choice but to change my tone.
It's physiologically impossible for a beautiful middle-aged man to be a woman.
No, I'm not denying the fact that I'm a man who is a woman, but the fact that I fall into that category is aesthetically unacceptable. I can't allow it. I can't.
I'll say it again, because it's important.
I just can't allow myself to be the one who is a beautiful middle-aged man and a lady at the same time.
If it wasn't me, I wouldn't deny it, and I would even respect you for living that way!
"No, to be honest, I feel very uncomfortable too, and I'm rather grateful."
"Likewise."
The two of them laughed as if they were in trouble, and I agreed with them wholeheartedly.
I'm sure you're right! It's impossible! It's hard to watch!
"So, about those two brothers: ......"
"Yes, ...... Ernest seems to have noticed a change in your husband, so I'm sure he'll have no problem with an explanation."
"Well, what about Paul?"
"If you don't tell him, he'll probably sulk."
"What a pain in the ass."
Alfred-san's soft smile turned into a wry smile at the words he had just said.
"That's how much he loves you, Master."
"...... I see."
Uhm, I'm sorry about that.
"Do you want me to call him?"
"No, I think it's time to move on."
Augusto-san's specs are so great that he has a perfect sense of time. It's amazing.
"...... You're right, it's already past lunch time... I'm sure you'll want to get the word out sooner rather than later, but I have a meeting with Dr. Schrag today..."
"It's 15:00, I think."
While Alfred-san was checking the time with his pocket watch, I mentioned the scheduled time to him for confirmation.
Alfred-san nodded his head in agreement.
"Yes, you are supposed to have lunch with the Grand Mistress, so you should be able to talk to the brothers for about an hour and a half."
"All right, I'll meet with them as soon as I've finished lunch with Mother."
"All right, I'll see them after lunch with your mother."
In contrast to his reverent bow, Cinza-san, the covert spy, raises his hand lightly.
"Yes! Well, I'll start by gathering information about the neighboring countries in this country, because I need to find them first."
“Sorry, but I’ll leave it to you"
"I'm trying to win your trust, so don't worry about it!"
He gave me a thumbs-up with a very smug look on his face, and I wanted to slap him because it made me angry.
And his actions are low-key creepy. This old man.
But I felt that I would lose if I did, so I decided to ignore it.
"So, if you find anything, please report back."
"Yes, I'll do that! Okay, I'm off!"
Almost at the same time as Cinza-san disappeared without a sound, Alfred-san opened his mouth.
"We'll head for the dining hall. I'll show you the way."
"Okay."
And so, we passed Cinza-san without seeing him off, and headed for the dining room, guided by Alfred-san, the butler, in much the same way as usual.
We arrived at the cafeteria without any problems, and Augusto-san's mother was already seated there.
Perhaps she was waiting for me to come, but she didn't even touch her food, just smiled and laughed.
I apologized to her for being late for lunch, but she didn't seem to understand much.
I knew I needed to listen to what my doctor had to say.
She smiled innocently, thinking that I was Augusto-san's father, which made me sad to see.
After lunch, I had a meeting with the Cherbourg brothers in Augusto-san's office, after having finished my lunch in an orderly fashion despite the damage to my heart.
I gave an explanation from my mouth in my own tone of voice.
The discomfort was awful, but I did my best, and someone please praise me.
"I've been thinking it's strange that my heart is oddly strong for some reason."
Then the older brother Ernest-san laughed loudly and said as if it was nothing.
"But I didn't think it was a girl! You look like a little boy and you talk like a woman, that's fucking hilarious!"
"Brother, that's rude."
As he began to laugh and bang his knees, his brother Paul-san slapped him on the head from behind.
He looked at me skeptically for a moment, then opened his mouth after a moment of hesitation.
"In other words, is it correct to say that the soul of another person who happened to have died elsewhere entered the body of our late Master, and was turned into a wise man by God?"
When I nodded in affirmation to his confirming question, he seemed to understand, though his expression was complicated and indescribably subtle.
In a muffled voice, he muttered, I see, and looked down.
"If it was possible to change it, it would have been done by now."
"... But, brother."
"Don't get me wrong, Paul, I still don't trust this girl."
I'm not sure I can trust them either, so I guess it's a mutual thing.
There was a moment of silence, and then Paul-san turned his head and muttered.
"I'm sorry, I have to leave for a while.
With that, he opened the door and walked out of the room.
Just as Alfred-san was about to follow him, Ernest-san held up his hand to stop him.
"Leave him alone, he wants to think alone now.
He's not that hard-headed. He'll come back when he's satisfied."
Because they were brothers, they must have understood his temperament.
Ernest-san said, and took out his favorite smoking pipe.
Then I waited for a while, but he didn't come back.
I felt very inadequate, but the time for my next appointment had come, so we had no choice but to break up.
I waited for Dr. Schrag, Augusto-san's mother's doctor, telling myself that we would be able to talk properly once this was over.
Speaking of the doctor, I wonder what happened to that weak-willed man that Augusto-san had hired.
I had forgotten about him for some reason, but I wonder if he's been fired.
I forgot all about him because I was throwing everything to Alfred-san.
I hope he's making a good living, but it's going to be hard for the doctor who helped poison his employer to survive in the future.
If he's in trouble, I'd like to help him, I'm sure he's within my reach.
Okay, I'll ask Alfred-san about it later.
While I was thinking about this, Alfred-san, who seemed to have left before I knew it, knocked and called for the doctor to arrive, so I gave him permission.
As I watched Alfred-san open the door to his office, I wondered if it was a habit of Augusto-san's that when he thinks deeply about something, his consciousness goes somewhere else.
“Master, I have Dr. Schrag for you."
"Thank you. You may leave."
“Understood."
I replied back to Alfred-san, who bowed reverently.
I was thinking about something very unimportant, like how this pompous tone of voice is so easy and effortless, but why is it so easy?
It's a shame that I'm such an idiot that I can't get any words out at all.
While I was thinking about this, I looked at Dr. Schrag, who Alfred-san had brought to me, and I was a little surprised.
If I had to describe her in one word, I would say that she is a different type of beautiful woman from the ones I've seen before.
She's got droopy eyes and a curvy figure, and she's definitely a sexy lady.
She looks like Marilyn Monroe with her hair long and in a ponytail, like she's full of pheromones.
The mole around her mouth is very sexy.
That pervert who was the shadow of the royal family was more suspicious than pheromone, and had a different kind of weirdness than sexiness, but this woman is simply a beautiful woman who specializes in sexiness.
I thought she would be wearing a white coat or something because she was a doctor, but she was wearing a very revealing outfit that I couldn't find a place to look at.
I don't know if I can explain it. It's a ratty high neck, but it shows her navel and lower tits.
It's a bizarre outfit, with long sleeves and so much exposure that you'd think the high neck shirt had been cut off in an odd position.
If there is a question, why aren't her breasts spilling out? I guess.
Underneath, she was wearing black hot pants, mesh tights and knee-high lace-up boots of the same color.
Her thighs are so firm that if a man saw them, he'd be too excited to examine her.
I think there's a name for this, but I'm not sure what it is.
Uh, uh ...... Prerequisite, no, this is definitely not it.
Oh, I'm pretty sure it's on there, don't you think?
What was it, absolutely, absolutely ...... The only thing that comes out is absolutely impossible, damn it.
I don't know anymore.
"Wow, that's unusual, that you don't get excited when you see..."
I was a little taken aback by the mysterious way she spoke, despite her sexy appearance.
The voice itself has a sexy husky voice, so I guess it fits, I wondered why she spoke in such an old-fashioned, neutral way.
But I couldn't bring myself to say it out loud, so I decided to give her a bland reply.
"Hmm, I'm sorry about that, I hope you understand that I have already made up my mind."
"I know, isn't that your wife who died of the dead tree disease?"
"...... You know her?"
Someone should praise me for not turning my voice over upset at the unexpected response.
My throat was twitching right now, so I was in serious trouble.
No, I thought, how did you know about this, but maybe this is a rumor about Augusto-san.
Maybe it's not, but it's pretty spread out?
I don't know.
"That's probably true, since the little fellow was examining him."
"Hmm?"
Something more unexpected. What do you mean?
"You don't remember me? What a horrible man, we had such a heated argument."
I looked at her as she wiped away her tears with a handkerchief that I didn't know where she had taken it from, and searched my memory, but there was only one person who fit the description.
"Julia's doctor was a gray-haired man, wasn't he?"
I remember having a heated discussion with her, but I can't see any similarities in her appearance or tone of voice to the point where I can say for sure that she is not the beautiful woman in front of me.
However, the beautiful woman in front of me doesn't seem to mind at all and laughs quietly.
"That's who I am."
"............ What do you mean?"
I don't understand any of this, okay?
My brain begins to calmly analyze and explore various possibilities, leaving my mind behind.
As I stared at the beautiful woman in front of me, watching it go on in a corner of my mind, the person in question dropped another bombshell.
"To tell you the truth, I've also been a tutor for..."
No, wait, what does that really mean?
What is it? What are you trying to say?
"...... I've had more than one tutor."
I only remember having different people watching me for everything from etiquette to sword fighting to magic?
And I don't look like any of them, not one bit like any of them.
"It's just me. I'm the only one."
"............... Hmm."
It's getting more and more annoying to think about it.
Can we just go ahead and call her crazy? Is that okay?
"I was acquainted with the previous Duke, and I lived with him as his tutor, seeing to his entire education, don't you remember? How about this?"
The figure of the beautiful woman who said this with a smile on her face twisted into a limp shape.
I'll explain as much as I can with Augusto-san's amazing specs.
It was not a hallucination or magic, but a distortion.
One after another, the irregularly shaped, variously colored, humanoid shapes transformed into people that were familiar to Augusto-san.
The gray-haired doctor who had been treating Julia-san, the man with the scar on his cheek who had been teaching him sword fighting, the lady who had been teaching him etiquette, the old master of magic.
After a series of changes, the humanoid something returned to the form of that beautiful woman.
"I see."
"Aren't you surprised?"
"I'm surprised, but I get it."
I don't understand the principle at all, or rather, I don't understand how it works, but I know what it is.
I'm sure they're the only people in the world who can do this.
"Doctor, you are a wise man."
"Yes, sir! I've been looking forward to meeting you ever since you became a wiseman!"
Laughing vigorously, the person who could not be identified as she nor he held out their hands.
"I've been looking forward to meeting you!
I am your mother's doctor, Schrage and your beloved wife, Julia's doctor, tutor, etc., Abyss! Please take care of me!"
............ Uhm, can I say one thing.
That’s a lot- ......
