"Lady, lady, it's morning, please wake up..."

"... hmm?

Last night, he ended up sleeping without dreaming.

Alice shook her shoulder, and Silvi slowly opened her eyes.

"... Morning, Alice"

"Morning, Silvi. Looks like you've been asleep a long time. You don't wake up at all."

"... yeah. I had a lot going on yesterday... Ah!

Soon after, Sylvie remembered what happened last night as a result of Fury Tao, except for the hanging cloth, which jumped up.

"Oh, yeah! Alice, I need to talk to you!

I want to talk to you about Arthur. Looking up at Alice with that thought, she stared at Silvi with a frightened look, dressed in maid clothes hung with chicken and iron.

"Now that I know I need to talk to you, will you just get dressed? You don't wake up at all, so I'm pushing things."

"Oh, sorry."

"There's no one but me right now, so you can talk while you're dressed."

"Yeah."

Feeling in a hurry, get dressed. Sitting in front of the dresser, Alice grabbed a brush and started combing Silvi's hair. That's how I hear it in a relaxed tone.

"So? What happened? Talk about the night club we went to last night anyway. What, they even nominated you for an engagement? You're welcome to talk like that."

"No."

I will immediately deny it and talk about what happened last night in an orderly fashion.

When she finished telling the whole story, Alice laughed through the mirror, "Oh," she said.

"Even the prince was confessed, and he finally told me he liked it. You don't feel like you're finally on the Arthur route. Congratulations! Run for the Good End."

"Stop. Because it won't be that way. Because I don't go Arthur Route or anything. Even today, he said he was coming, but I'm going to say no exactly. I'm gonna pay you back."

"... say that, you, you like Arthur"

"Ha!?"

Hearing the bossy whining words, Silvi looked back reflexively.

Alice complains that she had tied her hair.

"Hey, don't move."

"Don't move, it's not! Hey, what is it? Wow, I like Arthur..."

When I glanced at him, I returned a frightened gaze.

Pocan and brush smack him in the head.

"You... you seriously think they haven't noticed? As much as I'd like to show you what you look like when you talk about Arthur. You look so happy. 'Cause it's not convincing at all to say' I don't want to go Arthur Route 'with that face"

……

"You like it. Then just stick with Arthur. It's not like I'm going for the opposite, and nobody's complaining because it's a good idea."

"Complaining... that's not what I'm talking about"

Silvi was listening to Alice whilst she was stunned, but denied her inquiry.

"Arthur likes me because he's a heroine in the game. I can't forgive it."

"What's that?"

blinking, Alice said.

"It's true that you're the heroine of the game, isn't it?

"Don't say it lightly..."

When the item drips, Alice makes her face rise and begins to comb her hair again.

I said as I stared over the mirror at the gesture.

"I want you to see me properly. Not heroin, me. Is it weird that you think so?

"I don't think it's weird...... yeah. You're seriously in love with Arthur."

"Wow, bad?

"Not at all"

As she turned red but stared over the mirror, Alice denied it with a couscous laugh.

"If that's the case, I can't help it. But if Arthur finds out he really likes you, then you give up running? That's what this is all about, isn't it?

"Because it can't be in its current progression"

"Fine."

Pushed off, Sylvie snorted reluctantly.

"... if that's what you mean. But! Anyway, I'm definitely running away from you now!

"Yes, sir. I don't know what it means to run away even though you like it, but if you like..."

"I mean it!

"Yes, sir."

"Alice!"

Staring at Alice, who replies appropriately, Alice said out of sight.

"Yes, sir. He said he didn't think it would be too much trouble to chase a couple with both thoughts confirmed. Why don't you two just run along the sandy beach?" Don't try to catch me, "he said. I'm sure Arthur will take care of it with a Norrinoli. And then I don't know if they push me down."

"... I won't do it."

"You've already done something similar."

"He said he didn't!

Strongly complaining that it was unfortunate, Alice has looked at it with suspicion. And "done," he mutters.

"Yeah, yeah. I could still be cute today. For now, Arthur is coming today. I'll ask you the rest of the story if I can get Arthur through well."

"... um"

Sylvie nodded, not dissatisfied, but thought Alice had a point.

"Good luck"

"Yes, yes, good luck ~"

Alice leaves the room waving with a flicker. Dropping it off with resentment, Silvi was once again firmly sworn that he would definitely escape Arthur's demon hand.
