"Iris!"

"Ignis! Good, how are you? Great.........!

You must have sensed that I woke up and transferred me from the city. My hands, which touch my cheeks in a hurry, are a little coaly.

"Haha! Ignis, your face is dirty, isn't it? Phew."

"Ah-me! But Iris is the one! I'm glad you're feeling better! Me too - I ate the flames in the city - I'm feeling better!"

"Oh well. What about everyone? They're not hurt, either, are they?

"It's so sweet! Everybody said they were coming over here once too."

Talking like that, now there's a little footstep running up the stairs with a tottotototototototto, and the door to the room is burning! and was opened.

"Oh! I knew you woke up Iris!

"Come on! Don't worry...! I even borrowed the help of a forest guardian tree!

"Leg! Russ! And the hares......!

Yes, it was. It was Mr. Letterio's wind and blue that saved me by eliminating Kupido in my dreams. Those were the guardian trees of the forest and the spirits of the forest.

"Thank you. Leg, Russ, then... Leg and Russ's sister too, thank you for your help!

I was looking right at this one, bowing my head toward the Spirit of the Hare Earth (Gnome) with a golden needle a turn bigger than Leg and Russ.

"No, no, that's okay! Because she's Penelope's cute goddaughter, even though she's my sibling's contractor! Good for you, Penelope!

"Pollen......!! Shh! I told you not to 'Chan' in front of my goddaughter!?

"Oh no, I am! Ugh!

The cheerful sister, Mr. Spirit, stomps and laughs in Dr. Penelope's arms, a little rushed in the light.

I've seen that several times in the year I'm teaching Dr. Penelope, but this is the first time I've talked to you about it. Besides, I've never seen you talk to a teacher before, so I didn't know you were such a bright spirit.

"Iris, you don't have time to laugh, do you? Look, look, let's have a meal first. Then in the future - there won't be many more until the full moon rises, but you have to think about the spiritual measures for that ridiculous moon!

With that said, Dr. Penelope held Pollen, pulling the Hare Squad and going down the stairs with a little fast foot.

"Whoa, we're going down there first, too!

"Yeah, well, you should never let those two touch the food!

"Oh, shit, the teacher doesn't like cooking and Mr. Pollen is a taste tone retard..."

Leg and Russ said, "Enough not to spill!" "It is!," he nodded, hurrying to fly downstairs. There's got to be some soup or bread to make it, but I guess I don't mind if it's even arranged poorly. As a familiar family.

"Kufu...... it's kind of - it's so busy - it's getting better!"

"Heh, yeah."

So laughing at each other, Ignis glanced at me next to me in a chill and blinked her eyes. At the end of his gaze is Mr. Letterio, who remains standing there.

"Iris - Me too - I'm going down there first."

"Huh?"

"Dinner is ready - I'll call you when I'm ready -... it's nice to meet you!"

"What?"

Ignis sneered and laughed with his mouth lying down, softly flying away.

The room, which has left just the two of us, is unusual tranquility from the liveliness we just had. Quiet... a little awkward silence.

It was in the square of the festival that we met face to face for a few days after saying that we would not be directly involved in the labyrinth exploration and Ignis would not be allowed to participate either.

In a situation where there was a threat of kupido at that time, what a delicate feeling of awkwardness had blown away, and even just now I woke up with something similar.

I guess that's why. I am now suddenly remembering the awkwardness and wondering what to talk about...

I'll take a peek at Chilari and Mr. Letterio's face, but I'm looking out the window and I don't know the look on that face. But maybe Mr. Letterio feels a little awkward, just like me, and if he thinks that way, he doesn't get any extra words.

"Iris, are you okay? If you're not feeling well, I'll bring you your meal."

"Oh, no, already... maybe it's okay..."

He peered into my face with a slightly worried face, and, oh, yeah, I thought.

Mr. Letterio didn't think anything of it, and I was the only one who thought it was awkward. If Ignis cooperates in sowing the grass for Xiao Xiao, the work will surely go fast but with my feelings problem......

"Um... Mr. Letterio. Sowing in the labyrinth, that was tough, wasn't it? Ignis' help...... you needed it, didn't you?...... sorry"

The last "I'm sorry" made me a terribly small voice.

I don't know why I couldn't say it in my normal voice...... yeah, I guess it's my childish part that I can't properly apologize for. Because I haven't swallowed the embarrassment and the sentiment that I didn't want to risk Ignis yet.

"No, this is the one. I'm sorry for Iris. Well... my brother told me too."

"Huh...? In the lead?"

I wonder what that means? The head remembers then leaving Sassa like she was stunned by me...?

"Yeah. After that, I said, 'I have too much of an apprentice's hand. If you're the keeper, do something for yourself'.... That's true, isn't it? Rely on the power of Iris and Ignis... I'm sorry"

With that said, Mr. Letterio bowed his head towards me. The blonde hair swayed sarally and I stood up in a hurry too and said.

"What, I can't believe I'm sorry...! Ignis wanted to go, but it's my fault!

Yes, because since I was an intern by myself, I never left Ignis... I was worried, but maybe I was simply drenched.

I think I realized now that I relied too much on Ignis to be sweet before I even knew it.

"That's not true. Ignis' contractor is Iris. Iris' intention comes first. - This is my sweetness."

"Huh...?

Do the same thing as me...... why would Mr. Letterio think that? 'Cause you're doing your job as a proper labyrinth keeper.

"My brother told me to think about it. Yeah, he said I still can't do anything on my own. I thought I had caught up with my brothers who could do anything by themselves by inheriting the title and role... but they didn't."

Brothers? Is the brother above the head also someone who is in some amazing role? From what I can tell, Mr. Letterio has served you properly enough too...?

"I don't think so...... right? 'Cause, Mr. Letterio, even the junior knights admire me, and I feel that you trust Mr. Lamberto, and you've taken me to the labyrinth even though I'm only one foot away, and you're doing a proper knight's job."

I don't know about you guys, but at least Mr. Letterio from me is a fine knight. You looked extra splendid in your cape and glitter!

"I guess.... Well, at least I can do my job as a knight."

When Mr. Letterio smiled with a slightly bitter face, Tokoton! I heard the unheard footsteps coming from the door.

"I think Lulusus is doing something for you, too!

"Lulusu-kun!

"Lulusu-kun"

It was Lulusu-kun who was supposed to be in the city standing in front of the door he had left open. Just a little, but my beard is scorching and shrinking.

"Besides, it's talent to rely on the people around you, and I can help you say it! Those who stand can use it even with their parents, and they want to borrow the cat's hand!

"You know - the city's settled down - I want to - and I'm here. And - I'm ready for dinner -! Kufu!"

Ignis on top of Lulusu-kun's head made a little face and told him so with Nico's face.

Maybe it was me and Mr. Letterio who wanted to talk to you when you saw that smile and Ignis just left us and went downstairs? And I noticed.

Ignis is a really good kid to rely on!
