The World of Otome Games is Tough For Mobs - Volume 10 - Chapter 3.5

I immediately went to Erika. 

Since it was a weekday, there were many followers around, but when I approached them, they were attentive and moved away. 

I immediately invite Erika to the tea room to consult with her privately. 

Erika listened to my concerns. 

” ―― Uncle is troubled by the difference in values between you and Angelica-san.” “That’s right” 

I feel ashamed of myself for asking my niece for relationship advice, but I have to rely on her because there are only a few people I can talk to about it. 

Luxion floating beside me, taking advantage of my indebtedness. 

[Even though you are her uncle, Erika has more life experience than you.] 

“Can’t you be a little more respectful to your master? If you were nicer to me, I’d be nicer to you, too?” [No thanks] 

Erika giggled when she saw Luxion, who assured me that he didn’t need my concern. 

“Uncle and Luxion have always gotten along well.” 

There is one person here who is misunderstanding. 

“Erika doesn’t understand how bad this guy’s mouth is, does she?” 

“A relationship in which you can say whatever you want to each other is precious, Uncle. But more than that, you care about Angelica-san.” 

Smiling, Erika had a tolerance that one would not expect from someone so much younger. 

I turn my face away from Erika. 

“A lot has happened.” 

“You should be honest there and say that you love her. Uncle, you’re not the type to say what you really feel very often.” 

“Honest? I’m always honest. I say what I think right away, and people around me don’t like me.” 

I smiled at her and Erika looked at me smiling. 

I feel as if her eyes are looking into my mind, so I avert my gaze. 

Erika doesn’t blame me for my childish attitude and starts talking about solutions. 

“If uncle wants to be with Angelica-san, I think trying to be nice to her would be the opposite of what she wants.” 

“Eh?” 

When I raised my head and looked at Erika’s face, the person in question had a serious look on her face, her smile gone. 

“Angelica-san wants to support uncle. No, I think she wants to stand next to you and accomplish something together.” 

“Ange is?” 

“Uncle, you are forgetting something, aren’t you? Angelica-san was originally a woman who would have been the queen of the kingdom of Horfalt.” 

Ange was originally betrothed to Julius, a woman who would have eventually become queen if nothing had happened to her. I know that and have never forgotten it. 

“I haven’t forgotten” 

“If so, you don’t understand. Angelica-san is a talented young woman who was raised to be the queen of a country. She has a lot of pride. She just can’t stand being protected.” She doesn’t like just being protected, huh. 

Indeed, she said something like that before. 

It was different from me, who immediately took the help of Luxion to make things easier, in the first place, by thinking about it. 

“She wants to see, feel, rely on, being rely on, and support each other side by side. But uncle can do anything alone.” 

“I’m not really alone” 

I try to make excuses, but Erika smiles and tilts her head slightly. 

“I will teach you the best way to make up.”
