"Liddy!"

"I'm home, Freed"

Early in the morning. I fell asleep dressed badly in my mother-in-law's chest and I finished breakfast with my mother-in-law before returning to Fried's private room.

When I open the door, I just get hugged right away if I can't wait.

The smell of Fried I was used to sniffing lost my strength. A sweet and gentle voice echoed in my ear, and I exhaled inadvertently.

"Welcome back. I've been waiting for you. It was a long, hard night without Liddy."

"Mm-hmm. I missed Freed too..."

Cuddling back, I return the words.

I smiled with my eyes together and they dropped a kiss on my forehead all the time.

I can hold it up as it is. I was a little thrilled that it was going straight to the bedroom, but they just followed me to the couch in the main room.

Tea is available on the table.

"When I heard about Liddy's time to come home, I had it ready first. Tired, your mother's opponent would have been in trouble. You didn't have to."

Fried, with his hips down next to him, said so and extended his arms again, this time drawing my hips.

It was perfectly snug, but I wanted to stick with it too, so I tried to keep my body shut and lean even further.

I saw my move. Fried laughs happily.

"Sweet and cute. Did you miss him so much?

"Yeah. I thought you said you'd stay on your own..."

I snort. After all, Fried's side is very calm. I'm thrilled, but I think this is where I am.

That's why I was snorting and chewing, but I was stopped with a melting voice.

When I stopped moving and looked up at Fried more, I looked at him with a gentle, narrow eye.

"If you did such a cute thing, you'd be eaten right away, wouldn't you?

"... nothing, you could eat it"

I stared at Fried with the expectation that he would rather do so, but he just smiled bitterly and didn't even give me a kiss.

"Freed......"

My lips are pointed. Fried's thumb gently presses my lips with obstinacy.

"Don't you look sorry. It's hard for me, too. Actually, I was barely done with my work yesterday. After all, I couldn't take the day off. I'll have to leave in a little while. So sorry. I can't be cute about Liddy right now."

A little surprised.

"It's rare that Fried leaves a job..."

All I can imagine is always doing my errands quickly and handily.

Keeping an eye on him, Fried taught me with a bitter smile that it was the first time in a long time yesterday that he had made a face toward the Knights.

"I was just going to change my mood...... the knights caught me. If I'd coached you, it'd be past the evening."

"It was..."

Nodding, I thought I'd be spared in my heart.

The way Fried teaches knights with his sword.

I really wanted to see that!

"Okay, I'd like to see it too."

"Liddy?"

Unexpectedly crushing the truth, Fried blinked. That face looks unexpected.

"It's not a place for women to get close, is it? It stinks of sweat, and I don't think Liddy would like it."

"But Fried's working out with a sword, isn't he? I'd like to see it once or so."

"If Liddy wants to see it, of course, I don't mind you coming... but I didn't do anything funny. Still don't mind?

"Yeah."

The purpose is to see Freed. I just want to be bored alone when I see him coaching the knights, "That well-dressed man is my lover and fiancée, guffaw". Now I'm mellow on everything, including his appearance, to the point where I can be adored by Freed even if I'm not in military uniform.... It's the end.

The shallow desire inside is beautifully hidden and nodded with a straight face, Fried said, "Then I need to be particularly temperamental that day... because I can't show Liddy what I'm not dressed for..."

And he was squealing. Apparently, they show us where they look good. Hooray. Very happy.

"You're in a good mood, Liddy."

Fried peeked into his face as he was smiling. The distance is close.

My lips were right around the corner, so I tilted my face and mouthed it from my side.

I adore the fried that punches my eyes out.

"Liddy?"

"Fried, I like"

"... already"

Once more, he sighed, holding on to his forehead.

"I say I have to go to the executive... how come only on a day like this..."

"Freed?

I moaned so exaggerated that I stroked my head okay.

I can hug you as soon as I can. I almost wandered into a powerful embrace.

"You flirt with me, you're a bad boy, Liddy"

"You didn't do that, did you?

"I am. Just keep stirring me up... if it were true, I would have held Liddy by now."

It sounds sincerely unfortunate, Fried, but so am I. So I said.

"So... get the job done soon? 'Cause I'm waiting."

"Right, I'm definitely gonna do that. Liddy's waiting for me tonight, so I'll hurry up and clean it up.... Hey, Liddy. You don't have to wear any clothes, so wait in bed tonight as you were born. Honestly, I don't have much time to take my clothes off."

"Fool......"

I turned bright red all over my face to Fried's word to get naked and wait in bed.

But I think love is a nasty disease because I have a self that I'm glad to be asked for by the obvious.

They stick together perfectly. My right hand and Fried's left hand get tangled. I felt very happy when I gripped it back strongly.

"Eh heh..."

Happy and loose cheeks.

"What's going on?

"Hmm... I thought you'd be happy."

Ugh, laughing, Fried smiled like he was in so much trouble.

"Absolutely... you don't understand me at all, so this kid..."

"Freed?

"Nothing. … let's do this until we get to work"

There is strength in the gripped hand. I gripped it back too because I was happy.

"Yeah. Oh, there's still time?

"I don't have enough time to hold Liddy, but I do. What?"

I gently threw up a fried vomiting word that I didn't even think was a joke.

"Not anymore... you know, about Prince Maximilian. You promised we'd talk yesterday, didn't you?

"Oh."

As I recall, Fried nodded as well.

Freed knows all about the past life, all about Cain, all about neutralising magic.

I don't need to hide anything anymore.

"What does Fried want to hear? Listen to me and I'll answer."

I don't know what to tell you, even if I'm not going to hide it. So I asked frankly.

Fried gave him a slight bare gesture to think about and opened his mouth.

"Right...... so how did Liddy get his eyes on Prince Maximilian? I had a bad feeling about him... but he was too big a winner to cry."

"Ugh..."
