These were the words Eric spit out towards the gatekeepers.
I listened blankly, not knowing what that meant.
"Lucas is annoying, but living in the annex was comfortable."
"But people around us think it's strange that the door doesn't open very well-"
"Is that our fault? It's the magic."
What are these bastards talking about?
No wonder the door didn't open-.
"So close the door- Rosie."
They seemed to have belatedly noticed my presence.
Confused, they exchanged glances.
"Rosie, that's-"
"What were you all talking about? Is the door open more than that?"
"H, huh?"
"I have to go report to the Marquis. Before that, you better get the monster out of the room."
I pretended not to listen to them and acted calmly without changing my expression.
They looked at me with uncertain faces.
"Aren't you going to take him out?"
"H, huh? Yeah, we have to take him out-"
The gatekeepers moved immediately. Then he drags the monster and throws it out of the room.
They seemed relieved to think I really didn't hear them.
Except for Eric.
Eric looked at me, displeased.
I approached Richard calmly and gently shook his body.
"Hey."
"...."
Richard didn't answer my call, and it seemed like he was only half-conscious.
What the hell are these bastards doing?
Is this what a person should do?
I had goosebumps all over my body, but I didn't show it. But, first, I have to wake Richard up-.
"Rosie, didn't you hear what we talked about down that street before?"
"What?"
"You heard what we were saying on the street. But why didn't you hear it today?"
"I'm just thinking about something else-"
"Really?"
Eric didn't give up, unlike the gatekeepers.
He didn't seem to intend to get over this situation easily.
The gatekeepers' expressions suddenly change at Eric's question.
...Damn it.
Their attitude also changed completely.
As if they're going to hurt me right now.
"Rosie, are you sure you will come to the Marquis? Like a child does to their mother."
Eric gave a crooked, sarcastic smile.
"...Hey, stop it. Excuse me, Maid Rosie...."
The gatekeepers, who disagreed with Eric, tried to convince me by covering his mouth.
But after hearing Eric's following words, they too became no different from Eric.
Eric shrugged off the doorkeeper's arm.
