"Suddenly, you decided in a hurry."
I told Lilia to squeal in the dark world. After the study group at the Royal Castle, I went back to the mansion and went to bed, and I am here now. Looking for Sakura, he was tapping Maho with his fingertips under a cherry tree.
"Sakura. What are you doing?
When he asked Sakura, Sakura raised his face, and answered briefly, Examination.
"Investigations?
"Yeah. I don't know exactly, but which route it is."
I tilted my neck without knowing what it meant, but I waved that Sakura wouldn't mind. Lilia honestly gives up because I can guess she won't answer me from what I've heard. I sat next to Sakura and leaked a small exhale.
"Tired?
"Right. I'm a little tired."
I guess, and Sakura laughs. Lilia also smiled vaguely.
"That's the answer to Lilia's whining earlier,"
Sakura said, and Lilia nodded as she urged ahead.
"Next three years, it's the final grade. Considering all the preparations, there's a lot to decide."
I see, Lilia nodded. If you ask me, I only have about a year left until I graduate from school. It will be time to think about the future.
Sakura said in an emotionless voice, thinking so.
"Lilia doesn't need it."
I don't know what they mean, Lilia frowns. Sakura continues.
"You don't have to make a hasty decision. If Lilia had the knowledge she taught, she wouldn't be in trouble for the future."
It is true that the knowledge given by Sakura is many special, and you may not have any difficulty with your life depending on how you use it. But the truth is that I don't really want to rely on this knowledge. You see that too, Sakura shrugged her shoulders.
"Well, I'll leave you to Lilia. At least, I don't think you need me."
"Really? If Sakura says so, don't panic and see what's going on around you a little bit more"
When Lilia said so, Sakura distorted her expression somewhere complicated and nodded small.
Last day of the year. The Aldis family takes their time this day. Until the day before, a large number of servants were moving around busier than usual, but today it's too quiet. That should be it, too, and most servants are going home. The servants who are still in the mansion are all those who have no place to return or are unwilling to return.
Alisa also went home to her parents until last year, but she stays here this year. I asked if I didn't have to go home, because it was Lilia's exclusive, and I was proudly chested. I appreciate it and I'm glad to hear it, but I'd rather be a little sorry for Alisa's family. That's what I thought, I sent out a letter the day I heard Alisa would stay, use it if it wasn't annoying, and so on.
Speaking of Cynthia, her family has no place to go home because they're all Aldis' secret detectives. The secret detectives work in lieu of the servants who are gone. Most importantly, they're pretty much off too, unless someone from Ardis calls them in to finish what they need to do by yesterday. Some of them seem to be keeping an eye on suspicious people coming around the mansion.
A quieter mansion than usual. Lilia was in her room with Alisa and Cynthia, feeling just a little restless. They were trying to be thorough in their service, but now they're sitting opposite Lilia. I really sat the two of them down trying to work in the form of an order. Still, as soon as Lilia's cup is empty, she has tea for me.
"Quiet."
Pompous, Lilia shrugged. The two of them, softly restless, heard it and nodded, yes.
"The others who remain, unless called, are just waiting. They barely call me till night."
"Don't you guys want to take your time alone? I don't mind."
"I am the exclusive of Master Lilia. This is my place."
Alisa says with her chest up. Cynthia nodded many times that she felt the same way.
"Yes. Thank you. Glad to hear it."
When I said that with a smile, they both smiled happily.
"So Master Lilia, may I stand!
"Rejected. Sit down."
"Ugh..."
Alisa drops and gets smaller. Lilia sighed frightened, wondering why she wanted to stand so much.
- Because I'm here as Lilia's exclusive maid. It's usually a fixed position next to Lilia, so I guess it's unsettling to be sitting at work?
- Is that what this is about? I'm just saying I'm going on vacation.
- Yeah. Still, yeah. I told you to sit on it, but you didn't say you were off. Why don't you just say it right?
I didn't realize until Sakura told me. Sure, I didn't tell the two of them to sit at the chair but it was off. Maybe I'm here on purpose of work.
"Alisa. Cynthia"
When Lilia called out her name, they looked up. I am facing tension for some reason.
"We're both off today."
Say that briefly. Then they opened their eyes and blued their faces. It's like despair, that look on your face.
- Yeah, what?
Unexpectedly pulls his cheeks and asks for help from Sakura. Sakura said, thinking a little.
- I don't feel comfortable, so get out, I guess it was converted into content.
No way, I thought. When I saw the two of them, Cynthia said as she looked at Lilia to the top.
"Um, Master Lilia...... Should we still leave...?
"I'm sorry, I disturb Master Lilia..."
Alisa follows Cynthia. We both noticed our voices trembling and Lilia said in a panic.
"That's not what I meant. I'm saying we can both take the day off. That's why I'm inviting two friends."
"Friends...? Are we?
"I know you're saying it is."
They glistened their faces with joy. When I see a full smile, I feel so ashamed. Lilia gently distracted herself from the two of them and turned to her.
