As Wooden Drucker finished his piece, Clarisse actually stood up and applauded him.
"That was beautifully played!"
Wooden Drucker looked at her with a hint of curiosity. She smiled slightly.
"It just finished snowing, and the view in the garden is so beautiful. I'd like to go outside for a walk, if that's alright?"
It had been snowing heavily since she arrived in the mansion that morning, and now that it had just stopped, she felt almost suffocated inside the house. She wanted to explore the estate and gather some information.
Wooden Drucker stood up and came to her side, adjusting her coat collar.
"Do you need me to accompany you?"
"What are you talking about? Your leg can't handle the cold!"
She tried to keep her expression natural when facing Wooden Drucker. His tone was regretful.
"It's a shame that such a beautiful snow scene can't be enjoyed together…"
She smiled and reassured him.
