When I left Esther's house with my hand pulled, I walked a little along the road. Estelle lowered her eyebrows in trouble and put a little force into her gripped hand.

"I'm sorry, right? Mom said something weird."

"Yeah, I don't care, I think it's a really weird story. I'm only eight years old and I'm so different from Esther."

I think my height is on average about eight years old, but Esther is a tall and smooth beauty at fifteen. Even if you look at the place where your hands are tied together, your friends are friendly rather than your lover. Normally, it only looks like an older brother and sister.

Then Esther answers nothing.

"Hmm. 'It's hard to have a child, so make a lover early', said the elders at the annual children's party every time, and there are quite a few children about eight years old who have a lover. It's not that uncommon to get married at ten.... Speaking of which, is it a little late outside the village?

Oh, really? Are you giving up the village and taking measures to reduce the number of children?

"That's right. Marriage starts at twelve in my town. [M] Besides, there wasn't a single kid my age who had a lover."

As far as I know. Delica said I don't have many friends, and I may have quite a few in the world just because I don't know.

"I knew it. Even if I was told that I was a lover, it wouldn't hurt. That's normal, isn't it?

Maybe they used to tell me to make lovers. My words relieved Esther. [M]

"Well, at least I don't think it's necessary to make a lover because the people around me told me to. I think it's better not to worry too much.... well, see you off around here. Bye bye."

"Yeah, see you later!

I waved my hand to Esther and said goodbye. I walked along the road to Celine's house by myself.

... even though it's not unusual to have a lover at the age of eight, this village is progressing. For now, if Nicolas finds out, it sounds like it's noisy again, and I think it's better to keep quiet.

Looking back, thinking about that. Then I turned my hand back to Esther, who was still waving at me, and now it was time to go to Celine's house.

――――――

Hello...

When I opened the door to Celine's house, Celine, who was already wearing a black dress for going out, looked at me as she sat in her chair.

"Oh, Marc, you're early. I've been talking to Nicolas, but should I go to the magic supply right now?

"Well, if Celine's okay, I'd like to go now.... uh, where's Nicola?

"I'm asleep now. I told you to wake me up because I'm going with you when I supply magic...."

What was he talking about? The door opened with a loud noise, and Nicolas walked in a pink pyjama.

Ohayo

"Good morning, Nicola. You can go to bed, but what do you do?

"Yeah, I'm coming with you."

Recently, the magic supply was defocused after lunch. We can't miss this precious opportunity to see Celine in the morning. "

Really?

I don't know what's going to change in the morning and afternoon, but I don't think I can tell from what I've heard.

Well then, let's go when Nicolas is ready. By the way, where's Mom?

Celine stood up from her chair and asked Nicolas with a magic wand on her hips.

Still asleep ~

When Nicolas answered from her pajamas to her outerwear, Celine exhaled and put her hand on her forehead.

"Yes... Recently, I feel like I've been losing it before. Nicola shouldn't be like that ~"

Yes!

Nicola, wearing her coat, raised her hand and replied energetically. Nicolas, I'm glad to hear from you.

Eclaine, Mom is somehow working. Don't worry, I'm aiming for that direction even more. "

I can't tell Celine that I was talking about this.
