The World of Otome Games is Tough For Mobs - Volume 10 - Chapter 9.3

[Master, why was Marie after the treasure?] 

“Hah?” 

Luxion questions me as I run away from Marie and retreat to my room. 

[No, Marie does not need to overwork herself at present. Having gained a protector, Master, she should have no financial problems. It bothered me that she did not want the honor and was after the treasure. What did Marie want?] There is no need for Marie to force herself to get the treasure. 

As Luxion says. 

I turn over and turn to Luxion and speak for Marie’s feelings. 

“Because Erika was her daughter.” 

[That’s not an answer, is it?] 

“That’s the answer. The daughter of her previous life just showed up. No wonder she wants to be proud of herself.” 

Luxion sounded skeptical or unconvinced by my explanation. 

[That’s why she wanted to become independent? I don’t understand. There should be no inconvenience to be under Master’s protection.] 

Marie was into treasure hunting because she wanted to be independent from me. 

But Luxion cannot understand Marie’s feelings. 

[Given Marie’s character, wouldn’t she want to avoid having her support terminated by Master?] 

“You’re not thinking about how she feels, are you?” 

[Feelings? Isn’t it Marie to always count on Master’s support?] 

“It’s not a mistake, though.” 

I talk to Luxion about Marie a while back. 

“She didn’t know her daughter from a previous life in this world, and she caged those otome game targets. Then she became a saint, but her knowledge of the game is so half-baked that she’s treated like a fake saint.” 

[Her short-sighted thinking is similar to Master’s. As expected from the siblings of the previous life.] 

“I’m thinking a lot deeper than Marie.” 

[Are you sure it’s not just what you think?] 

“Shut up! ――Anyway, Marie is being fed by me while paying the bill for doing as she pleases. She doesn’t want her daughter from a previous life to see her like that.” Marie probably wanted to appear like a mother in front of Erika. 

After all, in her previous life, she had been a pathetic figure. 

Stumbling through life, and regret for not doing something more motherly. 

“It’s a regret from a previous life. In front of Erika, she wants to be a fine mother.” 

[Did you notice it and keep quiet about the hidden door?] 

“That is that, this is this, okay?” 

[You are a merciless Master.] 

She was trying to find treasure, become independent, and be the ideal mother in front of Erika. 

But think about it. 

After having caged five men. 

This level of effort will not erase the negatives that have been building up. 

It doesn’t even go back to zero. 

“She’s just good enough not to be too pretentious.” 

I tell him how I feel about Marie, and Luxion turns clockwise on the spot. 

What does it mean? 

[I understand Marie’s purpose. At the same time, there is one more thing I don’t understand.] 

“What?” 

[I wondered how you could be so aware of Marie’s feelings, but not be aware of the feelings of your own fiance es. I’m not joking, I’m really wondering.] Luxion hits a sore spot and I get a complicated look on my face. 

“If I could understand how women feel, I could have lived better.” 

[Master is so dense] 

“Why are you so foul-mouthed?” 

[It’s because I’ve learned too much from Master’s foul mouth.] Are you saying it’s my fault that you are so foul-mouthed? 

You were pretty foul-mouthed from the first time we met, weren’t you? 

“To begin with, Marie is not a woman to me. She is my little sister.” She is the existence that is the most hateful and closest enemy. 

I have known Marie since we were small, I’m not saying that ―― I can grasp Marie’s thoughts, but I can understand them a little bit. 

It is especially easy to understand when impatient, as she is today. 

“Ange and others are wonderful women, unlike Marie. It would be rude to put them together.” 

[Marie is going to be furious when she hears about that.] 

I turned over and turned my back on Luxion as the image of an enraged Marie came to mind. 

As it is, I ask Luxion about Erika’s condition. 

“So, how’s Erika doing?” 

[No problem. A thorough examination will reveal more details. However, we cannot find the time for that under the current circumstances.] 

Because of the long time required for a full examination, it has not yet been done properly. 

The same is true for Mia-chan. 

Because of the long period of restriction, only simple examinations were currently being conducted. 

“As soon as we get into summer vacation, we’ll do a full examination. I’ve already obtained permission from Milene-san. When will you get the results?” 

[The results are up to Creare to analyze.] 

I hope the mystery of Erika and Mia-chan’s illness can be found out and treated. 

If I leave it to Luxion and others, there will be no problem. 

As I’m thinking about falling asleep, Luxion wakes me up. 

[Master, a suspicious airship is approaching Einhorn. ―― It appears to be unmanned.]

“――Ha?”
