Even acknowledged by myself and others positive me, needs some time to recover her heart this time.

However, around half a year later, my heart’s wounds started to heal a little, and I regained a positive attitude.

I was sad, I thought it's better that we haven't met at all. I had a lot of regrets.

Even though everything simply returned to the correct story, I felt lonely, it can't be helped, sometimes I cried when I could see the food that doesn't decreases.

But there were lots of fun things too.

I remembered that there was much more than sadness.

I can't say anything about Muriel-sama, but at least for me, the time I spent with Melba was an important thing, and I was happy whenever I remembered it.

Laurel-chan who knows the matter of things, deliver me the information about Muriel-sama's recent state.

Muriel-sama seems to feel emotions little by little, as in the original story.

So I started to think that if Muriel-sama is happy, it's fine.

On such a day.

I received a report from Laurel-chan that Muriel-sama was concerned about me.

Gentle Laurel-chan is grieving that I and Muriel-sama were sacrificed as war damage.

And somehow, wants us to get closer.

Dissatisfied with me just looking from a distance at his happiness, she tries to cheer me up all the time, spilling a bitter smile.

With a bitter smile, 

“It seems that there is a girl who swings a dog poop in the academy, since it was awkward he found out that it was Tiarella-san"

I was told outrageous thing.

“No no no no”

What is that!?

If someone notice such a strange girl, even Muriel-sama would be bothered.

Laurel seems to be delighted, but the meaning of his concern is different.

In the first place, I don't remember doing such a strange thing at this highly respected Luxen academy.

Forte with a difficult face cut into, while I was denying.

“Is it not the day when you made something called Karintou? Newly-made and fresh, covering it with sugar at my place, telling me it's double size, you swing it in plastic bag. That black object, to tell you the truth, I too thought that it was dog poop…look-like. There was so much of them, that I even started to worry about you…"

“No no no … "

In the end, what.  You are too rude to me and Karintou.

Fortunately Muriel-sama’s concern soon faded away, Laurel-chan was disappointed, but for me there was no reason to be disappointed.

Days passed by without anything happening, the day of the girl’s decisive battle, Valentine’s day came around.

[Should you try to give some chocolates?] Forte tempted me, and  I too was drifting with the flow, feeling like doing it.

Muriel-sama gets so much chocolates, in the dimension that the shop can be started.

Not being aware of the girls, gifting him those chocolates, receiving at most Laurel-chan's .

But it was a big opportunity and I wanted to give food to Melba who was in Muriel-sama.

I blended in with squealing girls, to present Muriel-sama my chocolates.

I thought that I would pass them without attracting his gaze, but Muriel stopped his feet for some reason.

[Hm? What? Is he looking at my chocolate??]

“What is that?”

“Well! That is chocolate.”

I was bewildered by Muriel-sama asking something obvious. Frowning, Muriel-sama took my chocolate.

[Kya! iya!] Shrieks raise from everywhere.

Eeh! What?? Rather than joy, my stupid head was occupied with doubt.

Forte struck it while saying.

"What is that thing? What were you thinking about? Why did you shape it so strange ?!"

“Strange? It's Heart-shaped !?? ”

Forte who doesn't understand what I'm talking about tilts her head on me.

“Isn't that a butt.”

I heard Muriel-sama muttering.

“Wha~t ?”

No, it's not. How could a girl make a butt-shaped choco for Valentine's day?

“Oh, reverse, direction is reverse! This is not the bottom …. Wait, wait not so strong!”

Muriel-sama’s way of holding it was too strong, the contents have spilled out.

In the heart-shaped chocolate, soft ganache (filling made of sweet chocolate and cream).

“…… Peach color is not good, is not it? It is an ass however one look at it.”

“Haaa! Apologize! Apologize to Laurel-chan!”

Peach color is favorite of Muriel-sama . It was written in the official fan book.

He likes it because of the hair and eye color of Laurel-chan, but still I think that making the chocolate with Muriel-sama’s favorite color I'm praiseworthy.

But what is it? Saying that its a butt, how did they look at it. Strange.

Besides, from the crack of the heart turned in the opposite direction, as if from the hole, blackened Ganache was dripping in a large drops, I started to see it in an earth-shattering terrible way.

Muriel-sama silently looks at chocolate.

“Then, that's what it is!”

Although I tried to retrieve and withdraw the chocolate, because of its awkwardness, Muriel -sama suddenly put chocolate to his mouth.

What? And to me who was making stupid face, Muriel-sama returned that the taste is normal.

It is ambivalent to see him. I am surprised too.

But regardless of circumstances, I was very satisfied that I could give him food.

And the year came to an end.

At the end of the academic year there is a school assignment, and we can't afford to devote our heart to love affairs.

It's an important exam where unless one is recognized, one can't advance further.

I was trying to develop bicycle for presentation there.

I was confident. If I use magic tool that Melba gave me, I borrowed the idea to make pedal move with a little momentum, creating something like electric bicycle.

I wish it had stopped at the completion, but what if it can fly in the sky? I was on the run.

The image is a certain famous movie, where aliens will come out, improving it while humming Chara-chan theme song.

The day of examination.

Big moment to announce the research, but magic-tool reached its limits and the bicycle broke in the mid air.

Falling down with triumphant air still intact, teachers and students were in a daze.

Alongside the teachers, at the special seat, Muriel-sama, who was watching research presentations of all the students didn't change his expression, but it seems that he spilled the black tea held in his hand.

It's painful in various meanings, and promotion is in danger.

Since the chance of promotion assignment will be given several times, it would be good if I was to produce results at the second announcement, but it will take a considerable amount of time to fix it.

As I was about to cry and remake it, Muriel-sama came in from the window.

With my eyes rounded and body stiffened, he says to me that he wants to buy the rights on the bicycle.

Muriel-sama was adopted by a great merchant family, and the bicycle I invented, even though for the people with no magical power, seems to have a good selling point.

It was said that I would receive the profits according to sales, and I was greatly motivated for promotion.

“Bicycles that can go not only on the land but also in the sky and the sea, what do you think?”

"You don't have to do unnecessary things”,

I aimed for further improvement, but was rejected coldly.

Since there is no time, I desperately try to rebuild the bicycle.

At that time I receive news that my father had collapsed because of overwork.

Norfolk territory is 90% agricultural land, but because of bad weather it’s influence fell.

My father, being devoted to that problem, overworked himself and collapsed.

My mother is supporting him as much as she can, but my mother’s body is not as sturdy from the beginning.

Not just promotion, money that can alleviate parents’ hardship are also hanging on this bicycle.

I have devoted myself wholeheartedly.

Since Muriel-sama sells out from his own house, he sometimes come to see my progress.

I tried to think it was normal, that he is being nervous and tempered, but franticly he wasn't in that state.

Completing the bicycle after all the hardship, I could proceed safely, it was commercialized and sold a bit, and I received the money.

But more than I thought, the conditions inside the territory of Norfolk family, our financial difficulties were too serious.

I must do something! I tried to produce money based on the knowledge from my previous life.

As Muriel-sama's foster father said, to [find some kind of idea!] Being encouraged by initial success of bicycle.

Something in the form of fireworks. There is no fireworks in this world, but there are explosives.

If it turns out well, I would receive the money, I thought so and studied gunpowder, went to ask about a place to deal with it, and talked about handcrafted fireworks.

Dark gray fireworks, rocket fireworks, and so on, as long I can think of anything I will produce it, calling for Muriel-sama to show off.

Although there wasn't a problem at the prototype stage, this time it continued to misfire, and somehow the incense fireworks exploded and my bangs burned, and in the end only snake fireworks went without a problem.

“… How, how was it?”

“What?”

“Would it be good for sale?”

“……”

“Well, and, I would like to say that this is a snake fireworks, don't misunderstand it in a lewd way, It’s not a poop. ”

“Why don't you care about your bangs more than that?”

Although I'm concerned about wavy bangs, I am more concerned about weather this fireworks would become money.

Now that it's come to this, rocket fireworks! I thought, but Muriel-sama said he will do it himself.

Saying, if it will be done by me, there is possibility to destroy the building, so rude! I thought, but since there a lot of gunpowder, I am afraid of the failure, so I left it to him.

Fireworks were completed, and the next attempt was an automatic door.

I showed it to Muriel-sama confidently, but of all things, that time an error occurred, and I was caught between the door. It was painful.

[First of all I exposition of necessary improvement points], trying to deceive him with that, but probably I was seen though

Muriel-sama who felt that the idea was not bad, made a magic tool to accurately sense approach of the person.

Completed automatic door was also in the original story, and it sold well.

In this way, not as a complete stranger, but as a person having ideas for a successful merchandise, I was recognized as special by Muriel-sama.
