I talked to my kids in a small garden on the other side of the castle and then I was looking for a garden in the courtyard where Laurier would be having a tea party. The weather is nice. They're doing it outside today, and there were several noble children in the courtyard who Princess Serena supposedly invited.

Among these, I was able to spot Laurie, my beloved daughter, a silver-haired girl... and a very beautiful young girl. Laurier seemed to be speaking lightly with other noble children, too... but he noticed that my appearance was approaching and came running over here.

"Good day!

"Oops..."

I graciously embraced Laurie, and I stroked her.

"Is the tea party over?

"Yes! What about every last one?

"I'll finish soon, too. Was it more... fun than that?

"Yes!"

Laurie, who answers my question energetically... yeah, good. More than anything if you enjoyed it. When I was having such a parent-child exchange, there was some sign that I was approaching, and I looked at you and then lowered my head.

"Dear Serena. Thank you for inviting my daughter today."

The person who was there was Serena, the second princess, who called Laurier this time. Master Serena said after looking funny at me holding Laurier in my arms.

"Good day, Duke of Fall... it was me who had a great time with Mr. Laurier today."

... I told Serena, who has a level of elegance that I suspect is really a 5-year-old, that I was somewhat uncomfortable with, but relieved by it.

"Is that so... I hope so"

"Oh, and... the treat that the Duke of Fall made was also very tasty. Is that really made by the Duke of Fall?

"Yes... what is it?

When she heard that, Master Serena nodded as if she was convinced of something and then smiled.

"It was really delicious, not flattering, so... if you don't mind if I take it again?

"Yes. Anytime."

"Then next week, I'll be interrupting the Duke of Fall's house, so I'd like to be fed again then."

... about the fact that the Social Dictionary was not a Social Dictionary. Oh, my God, while I was thinking about it, I said it with a bitter smile, not a no.

"Waiting for you"

"Yes. So... I'll see you next week, too, Mr. Laurier."

"Yes! Thank you very much. Shiranama."

As I watched with a smile on my daughter, who was polite enough to thank the lady, Lady Serena whispered to me as she approached me as she remembered.

"I'd like to hear more about you next week, so please take the time... Duke of Fall. No... the otherworlds with that memory."

That's what I'm going to say and then I'm going away, Master Serena... what's your statement now? You realize who I am even if I don't?

"Ouch. Are you kidding me?"

When I was confused, Laurier leaned over here worried. Why don't you... I can't believe I'm worrying about my daughter, my father is disqualified. Let's get this straight!

"It's okay. Laurier, by the way. Did you get along with Serena?

"Yes! I've had a lot of pageants."

"Well... I'd be glad to."

I'm curious about what you said earlier... but it's more important that Laurier enjoyed it than that, so I put that question in the corner of my head and then said it with a smile.

"They're coming to my house next week... what did you tell them?

"Yeah? Um... well, I was asked about something strange."

... right. Laurier, I'd love to hear about my relationship with Sasha from a point of view, but I'm just a little scared, but... well, Laurier seemed to get along with Master Serena anyway.

"I see... well, I'll try to make some more elaborate treats for next week's visit."

"Really? Yay!

Laurie smiling happily... Yeah, I'm worried about Master Serena, but if you can see this girl smiling, let's do it.

With that in mind, Laurier and I went home.
