Outaishihi ni Nante Naritakunai!!

"It was fun today! Thanks!"

"This way. If you like, I'll make you another cup of tea. It's fun talking to Liddy."

When you're doing something fun, time passes fast.

It was not long before it was time to return and we returned to the royal palace. I also bought a good cup of coffee as a souvenir.

Reid said he'd give us a lift to the front of the room, so we head to the room together. At that time, there was something I wanted to talk about just the two of us, so I had the escort removed a little.

"Liddy? What the hell are you talking about until you take off your escort?

I opened my mouth to Reid, who asked me with a surprised face, wondering how I cut it out.

"Uh, the... I'm talking about Ilya"

Yes, talking is about Ilya.

What does Reid think of Ilya? That's what I wanted to ask her.

When Ilya's name came up, Reid looked surprised.

"Ilya...... Lydi is talking about Ilya sister-in-law?

"Yeah. Actually, I, I'm friends with her, too -"

Watch how Chilari and Reid are doing. Hearing that me and Ilya were friends, Reid looked like he was stuttering, but soon he just got the look of saying he was convinced.

"You're enough to be friends with me. Sister-in-law, before breakfast."

"No, I didn't. But Ilya's cute, so she wants to be my friend."

Those cat ears are just right there.

Reid will not know that Ilya is a beast man, nor will Ilya know that Ophilia is Reid.

As royalty in the same country, living within you, and how do you not know each other?

That's because it's a severe pull cage in a different way for both of us.

Observe Reid still. In the meantime, I didn't see any bareback on her like she hated Ilya. Keep talking at ease with that.

"Uh, so, I'd like to ask, what do you think of Ilya? Ilya said she wanted to get along with you."

If you don't dislike it, ask him directly. Reid had a puzzled look on his face, but eventually he exhaled heavily.

"... No, of course I prefer the sister-in-law thing. Anyway, you must have been my brother's wife. But look... somehow, my sister-in-law would be small, wouldn't she? I'm so anxious. I'm worried you're gonna crush it."

"That's understandable if Sir Lantinotes still says it, but I'm not convinced Reid said it, am I?

"Ha... well, I'm not lying"

Returning bitterly to my point, Reid laid his eyes down.

"... my brother chose it. I'm not sure he's a great guy. But this is what I am, isn't it? It's hard to get close. That's all."

"Ilya is not the kind of kid who judges people by their looks. I'm sure you'll accept about Reid, too. Well, it may be hard for you to trust me even if I say so, but I can assure you it's okay."

"I'm not doubting Liddy."

To my words, Reid shook his head quietly beside me.

"Just, hey, there's something wrong with me. Ilya, there is no fall on my sister-in-law. I wonder what it is. Maybe I need a little more time. But... oh, you can't run away forever,"

"Reid?"

He groans like a solitaire, and Reid grins. That weirdly bothered me and I rang out, but Reid quickly erased his expression.

"No, it's nothing. Right. Ilya, if you can get along with my sister-in-law, I would love to."

"Really? Well, me, I'll move on my own, okay?

"On your own?

I nodded at Reid tilting my neck.

"Yeah. Just so you two can get along. Of course, I mean gradually, but, look, I was wondering if it would be a bad idea if it was an extra treat. I thought I'd get some recognition."

"... yeah, well, the more so,"

It was a reid stuck in words for a moment, but the answer I gave was' yes'

Ilya didn't refuse to let me move either, and if we're both okay, you won't have to hesitate.

"Yeah, okay. So much so!

I replied with a smile, but for some reason I said to Reid, "You know as much as I mean, don't you? I thought I couldn't solve the confirmation."

◇ ◇ ◇

Reid gave me a lift to my room, promised to go out again, and broke up.

I also thank my brothers for escorting me while I was busy, and I enter the room. Freed was sitting on the couch in unfamiliar rooms.

"Fried."

"Welcome home, Liddy. Did you have fun?"

"I'm home! Yeah, it was so much fun!

I looked back and laughed. I was glad to see my husband, and I ran to Fried.

Only put the wrap containing the coffee you had on the table, then jump into his chest. Fried, who was speculating on my movements, stood up and took it at risk.

Fried, who held me back, sat straight on the couch. I can put it on his lap.

"Where were you today?

"Eh."

I'm going to talk to Fried about what happened all day today. When he said that he had promised to play with Reid again, Fried said as if he was in trouble.

"I'm glad my wife is everyone's favorite, though. I wonder if it would be troublesome to run out of time with me, my husband.... Hey, Liddy, I've got some free time tomorrow. I'd like you to date me if you can, but can't you?

"Come on!

I don't even need to be asked. Immediately, Fried laughed happily.

"That was good. Irvern is a great mountain and ocean, but I'm going to go to the ocean tomorrow. See, there's a request from the witch, isn't there?

"Oh yeah, Mr. Derris's. Yeah, I'd like to get it done early."

Ingredients that are the source of physical recovery drugs. It is the mission that has been entrusted to us to adopt it.

I want to take as many of these medicines as I can as I take care of them frequently. That's what I think.

"While I'm on a date, I'll also do Mr. Derris' request. Perfect plan."

"I really wanted to separate the request from the date. I was wondering if you'd feel too good about putting errands on a date."

"Why not? You've decided to do Mr. Derris' request alone, haven't you? If we're gonna do this together, collecting herbs isn't like dating. I don't think it's weird to be together."

To me, everything I do with Fried is like a date. So nothing's wrong. Explaining that, Fried also agreed with me, "Right."

"Then let's walk along the coast tomorrow. Is it okay if we go out in the afternoon?

"Yeah. I'll be fine in the morning."

I left today, but I'm not too tired because I was just talking at the cafe.

When Nico and I told him that I was fine, Fried smiled oddly.

"Hmm?"

"Well, don't hesitate today."

"Hmm?

"Tomorrow starts in the afternoon, and Liddy looks very well today, unlike yesterday. So don't hesitate today."

"... uh"

I realized what Fried was talking about, and I was stuck in words.

Indeed, yesterday Fried shunned me for a long time. They let me sleep at night knowing I had business in the morning.

If I remembered that, there was no choice to say no to me. I mean, though I didn't have that option from the start.

"... yeah, fine"

So when I was ready to tell him so, Fried laughed as relieved as "good," pushing my body down really reluctantly.

Afterwards, as promised, Reid's use brought me the book she wrote, but it couldn't possibly have been received by me being held by Fried, and I was able to look through the book, after all, the next morning.
