Right in the middle, a thick, huge table stood.
On the wall across, a huge window.
It gave the entire room a bright impression.
This was the room I had just received.
John and I were sitting opposite, facing each other at the table.
” Ah, Mary San, thank you. ”
Mary San made tea and as it was, left the room.
” ……. ”
” ……. ”
How awkward.
Somehow, John was making a stiff face as he looked at me, coupled that with his upturned eyes, he looked scary.
” …Erm… ”
When I spoke, he jumped and softened his nervous expression.
” Ah, I am sorry. ”
He smiled, embarrassed and looked straight at me.
” I unknowingly got nervous. As you know, I am John Veltor, and I will be working as your tutor from today onward. ”
Oh…A gentleman…
Till now, he had defied all of my expectations. His soft manner, polite tone of speaking, none of it said ‘prideful wicked noble’.
I put down my guard and relaxed my tensed body.
….I was sorry for misunderstanding you.
With that meaning in mind, I bowed my head.
” Yes, I will be in your care. I am Williams Beryl, please call me Will. ”
When I said that, John looked shocked.
…Hm? Did I do anything weird?
For the time being, I could not think of anything so I just continued.
” Erm, what should I call Veltor Sama? ”
And John’s shocked expression changed into a good humored smile.
” You can call me however you prefer. Only… ”
With that, he had a seemingly wry smile and a mischievous expression.
” ..not Veltor please. ”
Ah, I see.
