After the maid-san with mofumofu tail left the room in a fluster, I was carried back to the sofa by Ena.
Ena hands me over to Annela Obaasama and the soft feeling of Ena changes to Annela Obaasama’s equally soft feeling that doesn’t lose out to Ena, it was comfortable enough to make me lose all my strength and wish to sit in her lap for a long time.
While savoring such feelings of bliss, Roland Ojiisama moved in front of me and dropped down on one knee.
There are no signs of the good-natured old man from before in his expression. He seems to be thinking about something with a really serious expression.
「Elliana…… can Lilianne really not see?」
Without turning his gaze from me even for an instant, he asks Ena who was sitting next to Annela Obaasama a question.
「Yes, there’s no doubt. Randolph-sama has been monitoring and examining her for a long time, and he researched many documents relating to Cloudy Eyes. In fact, he even went to confirm with the patients who have the same symptoms…… however…… that just a while ago……」
「…… Umu…… she evidently went “around and behind” in order to touch the maid. Those weren’t movements of someone who can’t see. Even if she could grasp the position by sound or presence, getting that flawlessly to that specific place would be difficult」
…… Oh crap, because it was a chance to mofumofu, I did it without thinking. Which reminds me, I can’t see, don’t I…… I always see through magical powerbegan know who’s where so I have completely forgotten……
「Certainly, I also did consider that. However…… according to Randolph-sama’s investigation, people who suffer from Cloudy Eyes have no chance of recovering their eyesight」
She has the same serious expression and tone as Roland. Theo and Ellie are keeping silent, not cutting into the conversation.
「If that’s the case…… Lilianne is special…… or she might not be suffering from Cloudy Eyes」
「Ojiisama! Lily doesn’t have Cloudy Eyes!?」
Ellie who was staying quiet until now reacted to “no Cloudy Eyes” and raised her voice. Her voice was mixed with expectations and anxiety, but she asked clearly.
「Calm down, Ellistina. It has not been decided yet. Even if we try to confirm with Lily-chan, she’s still just a one-year-old, we can’t do much. Therefore, we can’t be sure of that yet」
「…… Yes」
Admonished by Annela’s calm voice, Ellie replies in a feeble, disheartened voice. If my illness can be cured, Ellie could share the things she loves with me, so she has great expectations.
And, I’m saying this myself, but Elli loves me, Lilianne. It’s natural to be happy when the illness of the person you love can be cured. That’s why she must feel very discouraged.
「B, but! There’s a possibility, right!?」
In the downhearted Ellie’s stead, Theo fiercely stands up clings on. He loves me, Lilianne as well. And just as Ellie, he would like to share the things he loves with me. If there’s a possibility, no matter how small, he clings on with a strong spirit and asks.
「Umu…… the possibility is sufficient. Because the movements she showed were clearly movements of someone, who can see. But, just as An said, Lilianne is still too young. Even if she could see, we can’t tell if it’s just temporary or permanent. It’s not certain whether she can control it herself. Otherwise, Randolph-dono or you should have noticed. However, since we were able to see such delightful actions, let’s immediately call for Randolph-dono to check…… asking Lilianne to confirm would be the fastest way, but……」
「Then, at once」
Roland Ojiisama spoke his thoughts gently, but he shut his eyes and deeply sighed then for a moment with sharp look looked at me――the flow of magical power sharply changed――I did not overlook what I was looking at.
Ena immediately began to act, she addressed a maid-san and told her something.
She’s probably telling her to call over the old man. Since it doesn’t end with a word or two, is she telling her to convey an emergency?
It’s quite a distance from here, so I could only hear murmuring.
This is bad…… hasn’t it turned into a quite serious matter……
I’m beaten…… but, I have received many examinations from the old man Randolph, and he never took notice of the magical power, so won’t it end up in vain like always?
Old man, thank you very much for your effort. When I say words of gratitude in my mind, Roland Ojiisama moved in front of Theo before I noticed.
