"It's been a long time since I've had tea with your father or mother."
"Right, Rose. I can't believe you're coming home... I still want to dream"
"When you're tired of your job, you're always coming home, right? Dad won't get angry."
The three of them, Rosé, Arius and Camilla, were enjoying their afternoon time surrounding one table.
Freshly baked cookies in the finest tea brewed by maids.
No matter how much I had, I would easily eat out of it.
"Did anything go wrong while I was gone? Actually, I'm worried about that..."
"Oh. You don't have to worry about Rosé like that..."
"That's right, Rose. I may have had some problems, but most of them have been solved by my father."
Listening to Arius, Rose hands on the cookies as if she was relieved.
From the cheerful faces of the maids, I knew the answer somehow, but it's still a pleasure to change to certainty.
"That's right. Is Rose doing well with the Demon King? I don't think she's a bad person, but my mother is a little worried..."
"It's okay, Mother. Because the Demon King is a very kind man. Being entrusted with a lot of work would mean being trusted - nah!
Rose made a happy smile as she hid her mouth with both hands.
When we talk about Aria, Rose is in a good mood, like every time.
I guess you like Aria so much.
From my parents, it's a complicated feeling that my only daughter is in love with the same sex.
"Apparently, you don't have to worry. Camilla thinks too much."
"... right"
"- Rose. So, what do you think, Richt, about you?
Richt suddenly comes up on the subject.
This is packed with Arius' kindness to the extreme.
Keep it up, I don't see any sign that Rose can have a lover.
Doesn't mean to interrupt Rose and Aria's friendship, but thinking about her single daughter all the time, Arius couldn't help but move.
"... to? Is that Mr. Richter?
"Yes."
"Sure, Mr. Richt is a benefactor of his life, but how could he suddenly...?
As expected, Rosé looks strange.
Because all I had in my head was Aria, I am baffled by the sudden appearance of Richt.
It's impossible to choose between them.
Even in an attempt to absorb Arius' sincerity, it remained a mystery in the end.
"Richt, if you and Rose are going to make it, it's going to be pretty good."
"..................... Huh?
Rosé dyes her face red like a boffy explosion.
Arius' serious face - not in any way a joke or an atmosphere that makes fun of him.
That seriousness had highlighted the embarrassment.
"Hey, what are you talking about?!? Because I'm no match for Mr. Richt!
"Well don't say that. Richter, do you look interested in Rosé?
"Ho, is that true!
"It's my idea."
"Isn't that an inquiry..."
Tension to fall at once from the climax to the bottom.
What delighted me even for a moment would be a lifetime of unconsciousness.
For the first time in my life, it could be the moment I was angry with Arius.
"I agree with you, Richt. She's cute."
"Oh, Mother! Mr. Richter can be annoying too..."
Here, convince Rosé to follow Camilla.
Now that I know what Richt is capable of - as a parent I think of Rosé, I really wanted to keep it close.
The fact that Rosé died once further strengthens the idea.
"But if you don't take it soon, someone else will take it, okay?
"Oh, an extra favor! Don't look at Mr. Richter like that!
Plus - and Rose re-drinks tea.
"Mr. Richter is one of us."
"... Camilla. Looks like we're in too much of a hurry for a boulder."
"Oh, sorry"
In that one word from Rosé, I felt like I figured out the relationship between Distopia.
He trusts Richt with all his heart.
I thought it was for my daughter, but it still seems early.
If we don't consider the existence of a rival, we have plenty of time to wait for Rosé to grow.
Arius quietly took a step back because his parents couldn't help but rush.
"Anyway, I'm glad Rosé seemed to enjoy it. Say hello to the Demon King."
"Yes, sir"
Camilla and Arius will have their hands on tea again, reassuring Rosé that nothing has changed.
