A week after returning to Ardis' mansion. My brother said to Lilia at the breakfast table.
"Lilia. I'm going to go buy out to the city because I can make some time today, but are you coming?
Of course from noon, Lilia thinks a little bit about what to do with her brother's words. I don't have any other plans, but I don't particularly have to go shopping myself.
"By the way, what's your brother for? Is that what you have to go directly to?
"Well done. You asked!
My brother, Cross, stands up. Next to Lilia, who rounds her eyes, Tina was sighing if she knew what was going on.
"There's been a good blacksmith coming the other day! I asked for a new sword! I'm promising to give it to you today! 'Cause you had a great reputation, oh, I'm looking forward to it! Because it's actually my sword..."
Cross is a long time to let the sword speak. So I avoided this topic as much as I could, but I didn't think the reason for shopping was the sword. I think it's my favorite thing to say that it's peace itself now because of wars and other events long ago.
"Tina. Sounds like you knew, when did you hear that?
"Huh? Ah...... About twice, have a cup of tea with me, then..."
"Heh..."
I thought it was only called by my mother and Theo, but apparently my brother had called me, too.
"Lilia, that, that..."
"Leave me alone."
Cross continues to talk about things he doesn't quite understand. Everyone in the family had one experience, so there was nothing particularly surprising about it, but rather a flat meal. I'm already on my way to work for my father.
"It's a waste of time to hang out. I'll study."
"Yes, is that okay...?
When Lilia urged, Tina arrived puzzled.
In the story of the servant who remained on the spot, he continued to talk for over an hour after not having a single family member. Why do I respect you all the time when you get here?
There was also a hope of sawdust, and I was to accompany him on the shopping trip.
After lunch. Lilia was taken to the carriage by her brother. Only some merchants who have passed special examinations can open shops around the mansions of senior aristocrats. So when it comes to shopping, you'll be away from the mansion for a little while. Because of that, the section lined with the mansions of the senior aristocrats is always quiet.
The shop-lined compartments are naturally busy. Many go out and merchants raise their voices. Many senior aristocrats don't like this hustle and noise and come shopping on their own rarely, but some lovers prefer to visit. You also like the face of Ardis, except Lilia, and now Lilia can say the same.
The carriage was kept on a royally designated site and Lilia entered the city with her brother.
And soon,
"You'll be free to come shopping with me. You should come around as you like. Meet me in the carriage in two hours."
That's what I said and left Lilia.
- Did it make sense that I came with you?
- Fair enough. Then we'll shop too. There will be delicious treats here too.
- You can't buy much right here.
At a glance at who his brother had left, Lilia turned to the compartment where he sold much food.
Ambient gaze. Whispers. Where Lilia goes, it's bound to stick. This isn't because of your mind or anything, it's something that comes from what Lilia has done so far. If you circle your gaze around you, you will see and be diverted from many people. There are obvious pussies, and some of them are purposefully saying it to sound like it.
I didn't even care before. I was laughing off that it was human jealousy downstairs. But now it still bothers me. Because there's not a single thing that's good for the emotions that can be directed, and everything is bad emotions.
- Lilia. Are you okay?
Lilia nodded with a hard look at Sakura's caring voice.
- It's okay. Thanks.
- Mm-hmm. Don't push it.
Although I can only hear my voice, I am very comfortable that Sakura will always be at my side. One would definitely have escaped.
- I thought if your brother was with you.
- I can't believe the sword alone changes you so much. I wonder what I'd like.
- I agree. I don't understand.
Sakura and the light mouth, I became interested in the stalls in sight and headed there. It's a small stall selling fruit.
- Is there any hope?
- Mikan! Ringo! Sweet stuff!
- With lemons, then.
- Why!?
Just kidding, laughing and grabbing a basket with a giggle. As I raised my face to speak to the people in the street, I met an old man with a drawn expression.
"Maybe you... Ardis's...?
"You don't understand the intent of the question. What do you want to hear?"
"Hih...! Excuse me, are you Master Liliane Ardis......?
To the old man's inquiry, Lilia frowns and looks around again. As always, many people deviate as soon as Lilia and I meet each other, but still somewhere, somewhere, somewhat uncomfortable as before. Scared of Lilia and distracted, not, seems to be distracted because she was noticed being watched.
"Sure, I'm Liliane."
Answering that to the old man, he opened his eyes wide and immediately bowed his head.
"I am so sorry for this......! Well, you don't seem to be wearing makeup and you don't notice... Please forgive me...!
To the old man's attitude, Lilia made her eyes black and white. If nothing has been done yet, neither has this one done anything. And yet what is it?
- That's what you do every day. Recent, not previous.
- Oh, you know what... Well, you don't have a choice.
Only some people have admitted Lilia yet. I meant to know that, but at the same time I felt uncomfortable when shown with attitude like this, it made me sadder than that. I was going to try my best, but he still hasn't had enough.
Restored her mind, Lilia shook her head gently. Give the old man a basket with a bowl.
