Since then, my uncle and Allen have gone through a long time of training in the name of play before returning.
"He... he was getting so strong.
"There was that dark auction, wasn't there? After that, Allen changed all at once. I couldn't keep up at all at first, but now I can easily keep up with my uncle's training.
"... don't lose. Is Master Germa still staying here?
"Yeah, I think your uncle and aunt are gonna be around till they get tired of it.
"Right. I'll talk to you for a second.
So Elle turned away to his uncle, who was resting.
"Rosé, you were here. Dinner's ready. Oh, my uncle was playing with the young boy again, wasn't he?
The old lady who came to call me dinner time frightened me. So he sighed and looked at his uncles.
"Hehe, your uncle is still fine.
"Even in the realm, you invite young soldiers to work out. It's also a problem to be too well.
"I'm so glad your uncle is well. Well, I don't know about it for the people they're making me train.
"We're all going home in a tug of tea. It's pathetic.
"I'm sorry to hear that. Heh, but it's a good thing that the people who protect the territory are stronger by their uncles.
Elle said she had finished talking to her uncle and moved to have dinner with everyone.
"Rose, is school fun?
"Yes, it's fun to learn a lot, and I've made friends.
"Yes, that's good.
"Oh! Ricker, now you can hang out with me too!
"... yes.
"Grandpa, Ricker's very busy right now. You mustn't force me.
"Really? Well, Lord Laus and Allen are asking me to work out, so Ricker, you're coming in your spare time.
"Huh? El Really!?
"Yeah, I was looking at Allen today, and I thought I wasn't there yet... and I'm going to have an audition tomorrow.
"You were. Not really, don't push me, okay?
"Yeah!"
He smiled at Elle as he waved his tail happily and suppressed his desire to touch him.
