I think I'll see you often in the future, take good care of me.'

I was sincere when I declare that to Claude. Still, all I could do in this dismal and shaggy tower was magic cultivation.

'If you understand what I mean, don't come to me unnecessarily.

For the first time in a long time, a guy came in who piqued my interest.

I had no intention of missing this opportunity.

Especially when I looked at Claude's dull black eyes. I was intrigued to uncover what was hidden behind that nonchalant face.

'I'm suspicious that you came to me wanting to be Theodore's apprentice in the first place.'

Let's just say I didn't know about the damn rumors when I met Theodore. But Claude was not unaware of the unlucky rumors of the Tower Magician. Even though I knew what kind of person Theodore was. I was curious about Claude's intention to become Theodore's apprentice.

Of course, it was just curiosity.

[Eunice]: Where are you going today, Claude?"

......It was just curiosity.

[Eunice]: Did Theodore order you to run an errand? That's why you're walking around the tower so hard?

It was definitely just curiosity.

[Eunice]: Hey, Claude? You can hear me, can you? Do you have to detonate a magic bullet to see me?

[Claude]: I hear you. So be quiet.

To my relentless barrage of questions, Claude managed to answer in a resigned voice. Seeing him deliberately ignore me even though he knew what I wanted made me feel uncomfortable.

I'd rather throw out a few words nonchalantly!

́....... If I hadn't, I would have been more excited than I am now, chasing after Claude, right?'

Well, let's say Claude was wrong to come in as Theodore's apprentice!

I'm not wrong!

After rationalizing to myself, I eagerly followed Claude as he strode out on his long legs.

[Eunice]: But where are you really going? Is there anything you're looking for?"

Ignoring his shallow reaction a moment ago, Claude shut his mouth again. He was so angry that I wanted to annoy him more. Instead of urging Claude to answer, I stared at him meaningfully.

[Eunice]: Even if our Master looks dazed and thoughtless on the outside, he has a surprisingly good feeling when it comes to activities in his tower. You better be careful when you're doing things.

Knowing that I had said a great deal of words in a nonchalant voice, Claude stopped in his tracks. His eyes were fiercely shining as they touched me.

Accepting that gaze, I let out a small laugh to myself.

'Why can't you hide your feelings at this time?'

Do you have anything to do with me- do you have anything to advertise? I shrugged at Claude and turned to him as if to give him advice.

[Eunice]: I won't tell Theodore.

[Claude]: ......?

[Eunice]: Instead. I'll just have a little look next to you.

My voice was shaking, and a chill weighed down on me. But I ignored it lightly and stared at Claude with a look of ignorance.

[Eunice]: Wouldn't that be a fair deal?

[Claude]: I never said I was doing business with you.

[Eunice]: Yes? So can I run to Theodore right now?"

[Claude]: ....

[Eunice]: Can I run to Theodore and tell him that Claude, who admires you so much, was actually playing tricks behind you?

[Claude]: ...... Hah, you're annoyingly persistent.

Instead of avoiding Claude's gaze, I looked confidently at him and shrugged. Claude then clamped his mouth shut and, without saying a word to me, turned away.

It was an unspoken permission to follow him, so I followed him without refusing.

[Eunice]: So? You're not going to tell me what you're looking for? Maybe I can help you.

[Claude]: I don't need it.

Something must be hidden in the tower. I said to Claude, trying to hide my excitement.

[Eunice]: Hmm, the tower is not as luxurious as you think. But worry not, whatever you're searching for, I'll help you! You have the best ally at the top of the tower by your side. Just one smile on that handsome face, and I'll go over without knowing anything.

I tickled Claude, but he gave me no response.

[Eunice]: Hmm. It's not funny because they don't react. But I can't help it.

But as stubborn as Claude was, I was not an easy person either.

'I'll follow Claude until he responds.'

Usually, if the other person doesn't respond, you might get tired of it. Even this cold reaction was of immense interest to me. And I had no intention of backing down.

'Was this how Theodore felt when he looked at me?'

Every time Theodore says what's so boring and boring that it touches me... I felt like I knew a little bit of that feeling now. If I knew this would be the case, when Theodore came running up. I would pretend it wasn't and accept the prank a little.

I'm a little sorry for that.

I vowed to visit Theodore this evening and make fun of him. I nodded in thought.

[Eunice]: Argh!

Claude, who had been ignoring me and strode away, suddenly stopped. As a result, I pursued Claude eagerly and slammed my forehead hard into his hard back.

[Eunice]: Ugh....... It hurts.......

I groaned as I grabbed my tingling forehead, and Claude turned to look indifferent. It was the first time since I saw his black eyes when he came to the tower.

'It's amazing, to say the least.'

He obviously had black hair that looked awkward, but he felt strangely different from Claude. The black eyes on that face are a little awkward.

What color would match?

I closed my mouth, thinking about the feeling of strangeness. Claude, observing my reaction, spoke to me for the first time.

[Claude]: How long are you going to bother chasing me?

[Eunice]: Hmm. Until I get bothered to follow you?

Before I could finish speaking, Claude's fine brow furrowed in disgust. Judging from his expression, Claude had already noticed.

He knows I'm not going to be bothered chasing him.

[Eunice]: You really can't hide your expression.

[Claude]: ......!

[Eunice]: Look, You're surprised again now.

I chuckled playfully at the change in Claude's expression as it varied. Maybe he thought he could only hide his expression coldly......

Now I saw that, he was actually a shy man who was scared.

'The most enjoyable thing is to make fun of someone who can't stop you from pushing.'

With that in mind, I thought about how I could make fun of Claude in the future.

Shiny

Just as I was lost in thought, suddenly something around Claude's neck caught my familiar attention.

'...... Is that?'

Forgetting to tell Claude what to say, I reached for it as if possessed. It was a moment when he could reach out a little more and get his hands on something like that.

Tak-!

[Eunice]: Huh?!

Just as my touch was about to reach Claude's neck, he suddenly grabbed my wrist hard. He pulled my wrist with a cold expression on his face, unable to see me in surprise.

[Eunice]: Ahh

Claude pushed me against the wall with great force. He even tapped the wall next to my face with one hand to prevent me from escaping.

I looked up at his face, trapped under Claude's thick shadow.

'This is it, even among lovers, you don't do it because it's gross?!'

Note: aka what is happening right now is kabedon/wall slam

The real world is something to live in and see for a long time. I've seen this happen in this tower. I managed to control my mixed feelings and looked at Claude.

Claude looked unusually cold, as if he was going to scare me hard. Unfortunately, it was a failure.

'You have to threaten someone who is going to threaten you.'

I wasn't scared of this situation at all. From the first time we met. I managed to stop Claude from attacking with his magic.

'Of course, Claude may be hiding his skills.'

I stared straight into Claude's face with half imposing mind and half worry. But Claude, unaware of it, warned me in a cold voice.

[Claude]: Don't come near me. That is, If you don't want to get hurt.

It was a dangerous threat. Claude had apparently wanted me to stand beneath him, cowering and crying.

But I had no intention of doing so.

[Eunice]: Can you approach me though?"

I chuckled at Claude, and he furrowed his brow again. Watching Claude's reaction, I gently grabbed his hand that was threateningly pressed next to my face. The scorching heat spread thickly through my skin.

Fortunately, Claude didn't push me away with his magic this time.

[Eunice]: What are you going to do when I get closer?"

The only person I'm scared of is the Sub Male Lead, a mad dog who will kill me.
