Volume 2 Chapter 17-2 Stone Diviner Apprentice, Realizes It Will Not Be Resolved
Both Ms. Natalia and Ms. Parsley tilt their heads in confusion just like I do.
"I'm scared to be away from my family."
...Hmm, I see.
Since it's an arranged marriage, there are cases where people get married soon after getting to know each other.
For Ms. Percella, who looks like a shy type no matter how you see it, this must be a heavy burden.
"I tend to be shy..."
Is that so?
From what I've heard, it seems like we're the only ones she can talk to without getting nervous.
...So, if that's the case... as I'm pondering what advice to give that person, Ms. Percella quietly opens her mouth.
"Actually, when I first entered, I was really scared of Lady Elena."
Huh, I was scary to her?
I never knew that!
"But I think it was Ms. Percella who first talked to me."
"I mustered an enormous amount of courage and mimicked Ms. Parsley."
"I see."
"So, I think it was due to my nerves, but on the day I talked with Lady Elena, I came home and fell into sleep as if I was knocked out."
"Oh, I'm sorry about that."
For a brief moment, my true self slipped out.
To think I was causing her to faint every time we talked.
I'm truly sorry.
"No! Because after I thought that Lady Elena, Ms. Parsley, and Ms. Natalia wouldn't abandon me, I became okay."
I'm really glad.
I was worried about what I'd do if she still said fainting.
"Of course we wouldn't abandon you; we're friends!"
Ms. Parsley said with a wry smile.
"That's right, that's right! You're a precious friend!"
At Ms. Natalia's words, Ms. Percella suddenly paused.
"Ms. Natalia, you were picking fights with Lady Elena when you first entered, right?"
"Huh, oh, haha!"
Ms. Natalia laughs, trying to brush it off.
"But since Lady Elena has become friends with Ms. Natalia, I thought Lady Elena would be okay."
How nostalgic.
At that time, I thought Ms. Natalia was a pufferfish, and I suddenly believed she had turned into my pet boxfish.
I certainly didn't expect us to become this close.
"Lady Elena is really kind,"
When I heard that face-to-face, I felt a little shy.
As I stumbled over my words, both Ms. Parsley and Ms. Natalia started to get excited, saying, "Lady Elena is kind."
I should keep quiet about thinking of her as my pet boxfish.
Let's do that.
And if people think I'm this kind, I can take it as having gained their trust.
In that case, I must live up to that trust.
"Hey, Ms. Percella, I want to introduce you to someone."
"Huh? Introduce?"
"There's a guy who seems to be a good match for you, Ms. Percella."
Upon hearing "guy," Ms. Percella's expression darkens.
"If I step in, won't it be a bit easier?"
"Um..."
"If you meet him and don't like him, feel free to tell me, and that will be fine."
Yes, it will be fine.
Ms. Percella will be.
Well, I think that guy will be really bummed out...
"...Hmm."
Ms. Parsley speaks up to the troubled Ms. Percella.
"If Lady Elena is with us, I think it will be reassuring."
"That is... certainly true."
Ms. Percella nods.
However, if Ms. Percella acts reluctant, it will become difficult for him to convince Ms. Percella's parents.
I wonder if that guy will be okay...
"But, um, in the letter, I wrote... there's someone who passionately says they like me..."
"Yes. Well, um, I think the person I want to introduce you to is the same one."
"Huh? Wh-what?"
Ms. Percella looks confused.
When I saw the letter, I debated whether to tell her I knew the person who was troubling Ms. Percella, but after hearing her today, I thought,
At this rate, that guy will just end up spinning his wheels.
This shy person can't help but need someone else to step in.
I'm starting to feel a bit sorry for that person.
"Hey, Ms. Percella, why not give it a proper reading?"
When I said that, Ms. Percella hesitated for a moment, but she nodded firmly.
"Please, Lady Elena."
She said.
But can a sis-con and a shy person really open up to each other...?
