Drop!! ～A Tale of the Fragrance Princess～ (WN)

The big full moon with blue illuminates the area more than usual.

But even subtracting it, many stars were shining in the sky, looking up from the meadows, where there was nothing to block.

I traveled from the woods with a black horse that Sylvester had come on board. He said he got off a short distance so the ghost wouldn't notice, but the black horse waited very long.

And after the trip to the destination, it continued quietly to Sylvester walking with the lights in his hands.

"Here we are."

I stopped on my feet with that word and followed with my gaze the tip that Sylvester indicated.

Then it was filled there with jasmine with white flower buds. There was also the influence of the magic of the earth, and the flowers seemed to wrap slight light around them to float in wonder.

"Beautiful"

"This is a sight I can only see at night. Ever since I first saw it, I thought Dili would be happy."

Sylvester smiled as he accidentally picked up the voice of a zero cordelier.

But it was also in the meantime, and I immediately tightened my expression.

"... sorry to keep you quiet all the time. And again. I'm Jill, I'm Sylvester."

"Oh, uh... Cordelia, it is"

"I know that."

Cordelia didn't say it as a joke either, she just accidentally named it back without knowing what to say. Cordelia didn't know what look she was putting on her face, but Sylvester blew it small. But it was also for a moment, and soon the expression was put away.

"The truth is, I was going to say it sooner. But it's hard to say."

"That's... why not?

I would have avoided it myself, so I think I would have only had a more unusual exchange if I had been revealed who I was sooner. So from the results, it was only because Jill shut up about being Sylvester that we were able to be close friends. For Shelley's sake, even if it didn't get close to Sylvester, it's equally likely it did.

But Cordelia's circumstances and Sylvester's silence… it was also impossible not to care that he remained silent until Vernault. In my childhood, I also feel like only one of them is out of company.

But what Cordelia heard was a word she hadn't even dreamed of.

'Cause, Dili, he said he didn't like people who lie.

"... Yes?

"My preference is knights, people who don't lie. Vernault said."

That being said, I don't remember talking about such stories other than Jill. However, I thought that if you were asked by some fold, you might be answering that without difficulty. Especially when it came to lying, he feared that he would encounter Sylvester and Shelley by being confused.

Sylvester went on to say words before Cordelia thought with her hands on her mouth.

"And I respect your father's reign, but I've heard him say he's not interested in me."

"... I don't remember. But I'm sorry if I offended you."

I mean it, but I don't think it would be surprising if I said something similar. I've always been appealing to you that I'm not going to get close because I'm not interested in Sylvester or anything.

However, I didn't even think of it in the dew, such as when I was passing it on to the person, so it is difficult to make the person current.

"I just think it was natural that you weren't interested in me. 'Cause I was actually a kid then who couldn't do anything. So - at least, I encouraged you to study so you could be interested, and I loaded you with workouts. So I bought some time to get away with Dilly and her good friend Jill, wanting to keep going."

"Huh?"

"Dillie, not only are you not really interested in Sylvester, you would have been trying to avoid it"

Cordelia almost unwittingly solidified into words unwittingly uttered.

Sylvester knew that too. But that's something I've never even told Vernault. But even to delude him, Sylvester was more certain than he had already noticed.

"Why..."

"At first, I didn't even know why I was being avoided. They told me they weren't interested, but they never told me they didn't like it, and Sylvester wasn't in contact enough to hate it in the first place."

That's right.

That's why Cordelia was trying to keep the distance intact.

"That's why I couldn't say anything extra. But thanks to Miss Clyde Raine, I noticed. Around me, it's often annoying. So if you think one of them was a dilly, not just something you like to get close to, no wonder"

That's a little different from the facts from Cordelia's point of view, but from Sylvester's point of view, it may turn out to be the same thing as reality. But either way, after Sylvester understood such a thing, I felt sorry for him if I knew he was trying to tell me the truth.

"But I was in a hurry when Dili came back to King's Capital in that"

"In a hurry, is it?

"Because it was really beautiful"

"Huh? Kiku, what are you suddenly saying!

Cordelia rushed to squeeze out the words as she felt her face get hot on the sudden words, but Sylvester kept her normal mind without surprise.

"If we don't tell the truth soon, someone's gonna take Dili. So I thought I had to be able to tell the truth in Sylvester, and while I was doing that, it really made Dili feel bad about me."

To the words, Cordelia gradually felt like she was being confessed, but she hastily calmed herself down that it was an overthought. I've always thought of Jill as natural. I guess I'm still saying that if my fiancée could, I would see fewer boyfriends.

Such cordelia. Sylvester went on to say.

"If you really think about Dili, I also thought it was best if I stayed away. Because Dili always works hard and shines everywhere. But I really... I didn't want to do that unless Dili clearly told me I didn't like it."

"... I, too, am delighted to have met Master Jill. Because he's a very important friend."

I thought it would be convenient for you to try to escape, and even though I understood that Jill and Sylvester were the same person, I was hesitant to look directly at them with stained conditional reflexes over the years. But this is how he came to help me, and the person he was talking to was definitely Jill, a reassuring person. Sylvester's appearance was no longer a matter of wonder either.

But Sylvester shook his head small.

"That could be true for Dillie. But that's not all for me."

"What does that mean?

Sylvester smiled softly at the neck tilting cordelia.

'Cause you're my, and you're still my first love.'

Cordelia's eyes were opened to a firm voice that was not even quenched by the wind.
