When you put it that way, it makes me feel like I'm even playing something.

As I sighed and went inside the mansion, Leon was in the entrance lobby for some reason.

"You were late, sister.... meetwithhim?

"Leon......"

Leon, not even trying to hide his grumpy face, told him to pack it.

"I'm surprised. When I looked out of my room... my sister and he were talking."

"Ah..."

Realizing that Leon's room was just around the corner where Arthur was, Silvi warped his face that it was gone. Badly in between, they were looking at us together.

"It's not a good idea for an unmarried sister to meet and pull alone with a man in a place like that. I want you to be a little more discreet."

"... right. I don't have a word to give it back. I'm sorry."

No matter what you say to Leon, who has a pretty bad impression of Arthur. I don't want to keep talking about it and apologize just at the tip of my mouth and try to get to my room.

Leon tried to get him to go and block his way, but Alice stood in front of Silvi, who had been silent and holding back until now.

"Dear Leon. Jealousy is ugly. I confirm that there was nothing between you two. The lady was just thanking me for the treats I had received before. There was nothing that made Leon angry."

"Alice......"

I didn't expect to be disturbed. I look like Leon was surprised. Alice turned her gaze to Sylvie.

"Please go back to your room first, ma'am. Master Leon is just a little excited. I think if you calm down, you'll be back to the usual Master Leon. I was wondering if it would be better if you didn't have your daughter on your side."

"... right. Thank you, Alice. Let me do that."

"Yes."

"Hey, wait a minute, Alice. I haven't..."

Leon looks like he's in a hurry to Alice, who proceeds on his own. But she laughed and didn't pull a step.

"If you want to talk about the lady, I'm the exclusive maid to ask you instead. Master Leon. You don't want your lady to hate you, do you? I don't think it's going to turn out very well if we keep this up."

"... ok"

Alice snorted, reluctantly, but Leon nodded. After taking Alice's gaze again, Silvi heads to his room this time.

As I went up the stairs, I looked back and saw Leon being forgiven by Alice.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Sister, do you have a minute?

As soon as I got back to the room, I heard Leon from the outside, along with the sound of a knock.

Even as a dokin, I go near the door. But I didn't want to open it.

Check the door. Looks like I did my job earlier, just in case I locked it up.

Sylvie replied, even as she was relieved.

"... what"

"I'm sorry about earlier. I didn't mean to tell my sister when I saw his face."

"Yes... ok"

"So, I'm a little calm, too, and I thought maybe we could have some tea together, so I came to ask you out. Can I come into your room?

"No, you can't."

Rejected aggressively. I didn't doubt Leon was reflecting, but I still didn't think we should be cautious. But would it just feel too bad? I thought I might have been sorry for Leon, but he didn't look like he cared either.

"Oh well, okay. Then I'll go back to my room. Actually, I was hoping I could get some tea in my sister's room or mine, but I wouldn't be forced to. Alice just scolded me. But your sister seems to be concerned too, so you should have some tea. I'll tell Alice."

"... thanks"

Footsteps, signs of people disappear. After a while, this time Alice came and called in a whisper.

"... Leon told me to make you some tea... but are you okay to come in?

"Yeah. Wait, I'll unlock it now"

"You're on proper alert. That's good."

When I unlocked it, Alice came in with a tea support.

I remember getting help earlier and thank you.

"Alice, thank you for earlier"

"I didn't do enough to thank you.... I was just reflecting on Arthur. I wish I could have helped you at all."

My friend's kind words fill my chest.

"I'm sorry," Alice apologized when she prepared her tea early.

"I'd like to talk a little more, but I've got a lot of work to do... I'll come clean up when I'm done drinking again."

"Oh, yeah."

My maid Alice has a lot of work to do. Silvi nodded honestly, thinking she was sorry to hold back too. Drop Alice off leaving the room, then lock her up again.

"... I guess it's too much. But... it's too late."

Then you'd better hit the stone bridge and cross. Less regret is better.

Locked to the door, Hot Silvi sat on the couch and put his mouth on the prepared tea.

My heart is soothed by the taste I'm used to. I thought I was going to break the feeling of being nervous all the time.

"Arthur......"

When the feeling I was straining looses, it reminds me of someone I like who I've become aware of.

Even if you don't want to see him anymore, you can't deny how much you like him. Remembering that they had eaten handmade confectionery, Silvi loosened her mouth.

"You told me it was delicious... I was glad"

There was a cold sweat in it without the poison, but I was glad to hear it myself.

Remember your earlier interaction with Arthur and have a cup of tea.

I left the cup on the saucer and noticed a strange sigh of relief.

"Huh... that?

Dokun, and his heart bounced big. My vision shakes for a moment. My body is hot. Sweat seeps through my body twitching.

"... what, this"
