After dinner that day.

Barletta was sitting on the bed in her own room, surrounded by the Ninas.

Nina and the others look at Barletta, who looks sorry and blushes her shoulders, with a face of heartfelt dissatisfaction.

"Huh!? Aren't you out of your mind, Barletta, after you told Master Reese!?

"That's right! This is a chance for a generation!?

"We can be alone, and we can just seduce them as they are!

"Tomorrow morning I hope to have a rotten night with Master Kazura so that I can no longer stand on my feet!

Barletta gets even smaller to her friends who complain about her mouth.

Barletta had thought that before she had promised Reese that she wouldn't "run out," she couldn't betray it.

I told everyone that, "What are you talking about!?" So we're under total attack.

"Ugh... well, maybe, but that's not how it works..."

"He said you should just pretend you forgot about that promise!

"That's right! What do you mean eaten or eaten?!? Barletta's on the eating side tonight though!

Approximately to her noisy friends, Nina stares silently at Barletta with her arms around her.

Barletta is a little drawn to everyone with a beastly eye.

"Well, that's a little too worthless. I'm not a beast..."

"Though character won't satisfy your affection!

"If you're going to leave yourself to desire, now's the only time. Oh!?

"He said you just have to face the beast's character!

Everyone but Nina complains about the smaller Barletta.

"What's the character of a beast...", Barletta said, putting in an inner scratch, but not in her mouth.

"Hey, Barletta. What do you want to do with Master Kazura?

Everyone turns to Nina.

"Master Kazura and you want to be lovers, don't you? Yet it's strange to be concerned about your competitors. What if Master Reese seduces Master Kazura and he gets over it, or what?

"Master Reese wouldn't do that."

Nina looks surprised at Barletta, who I assure you instantly.

"How can you say that? You don't know what's gonna happen."

"That's right! If such a beautiful person compels you, even Master Kazura will surely get his hands on you!?

"From our point of view, Master Leese is too beautiful. If we don't get ahead of ourselves, we'll lose!

Everyone says it.

I can't wait to hear about Barretta.

"I don't think so. Because, Mr. Kazura, you care so much about me and Master Reese."

"What's that? What do you mean?"

I don't know what that means, Nina leans her little neck like that.

Barletta looked like she was in trouble and saw her.

"... I can't do this without Mr. Kazra. Same goes for Master Reese. I think Mr. Kazra understands that. So..."

"So you're saying Master Kazura is trying not to stick with either of them?

"... probably"

"" "" Are you an asshole? Ahhh!?

Daughters other than Nina bark simultaneously.

Barletta was frightened and shrugged her shoulders.

"I don't know, your own imagination!

"That's right! How can a relationship between a man and a woman change so quickly in one night!? You won what you took first!?

"He said he didn't need to think about his rivals!

Wow, my daughters look so excited.

Barletta looked up to them with a slightly dissatisfied eye.

"That, even if someone in this was in the same position as Master Reese, can you say the same thing?

Everyone says, "Ugh" to Barletta's inquiry.

"I can't betray my friends..."

Barletta gets nagging.

Nina sighed, ah.

"So you're going to wait until Master Kazura picks someone?

"... yeah"

"Then I ask, what would Barletta do if Master Kazura didn't choose Master Leese?

To Nina's words, Barletta looks up to her.

"... I don't know."

"... you know. I hate to say this, but that relationship, it's gonna end someday, okay?

Nina kneels down, grabs Barletta's arms and looks at her.

"None of the three of us are either way now, but that won't last forever. On some applause, either Barletta or Master Reese... Yeah, maybe Master Kazura will pick another person and we'll both cry. Do you know that?

"... yeah"

"Then don't choose which one you want to take. Do you take your own happiness or do you take friendship and give up about Master Kazura"

……

"Imagine Master Reese and Master Kazura sticking together?

"Ugh..."

Nina said, an upset ran into Baretta's eyes.

"One of them confessed, and Master Leese and Master Kazra are lovers to each other. I'm with you everywhere you go, always love love. One of these days we'll get married and have kids. You just watch it all the time nearby. What do you say?"

"... eh"

In Barletta's eyes, tears creep in.

Seeing that, Nina leaked a sigh of "ha".

"Look at that. You don't like it enough to cry just thinking about it. If that happens, you'll probably break it."

"Hey, hey. Nina, that's too much..."

One of my daughters flaunts Nina when she sees Barletta crying out quietly.

"Look, look, if you cry so much, your eyes will swell, okay? To go to Master Kazura, that's the first thing to do."

"I'm sorry I said that mean to you? Look, I'll give it to you."

"You're worried about Barletta, too. I'm sorry."

The three comfort Barletta with their mouths.

As such, Nina noticed her daughter with only one suspicious face.

"What's going on? Look at me like that."

"Yeah... Barletta said Master Kazura cares about Barletta and Master Leese, but she wondered what she cares so much about. Normally, do you think that much?

"Uh..."

Nina glanced at Barletta, who was comforted by everyone, and took her to the corner of the room.

That's what I do, round my back and face close so I can tell you a secret story.

"You know what? As Barretta said earlier, Master Reese is just like Barretta."

"Uh... the one who said no without Master Kazura?

"Sort of. Master Leese relies most on you, no matter what you think, Mr. Kazura, right?

"Yeah. I rely on you, and you look like you like it. I've always seen Kazura, and if I had time, I'd stick around."

"Right. So, Master Reese, that's what happened when we fought Barbell last time, but the military and the internal affairs work felt like 'I have to do it'. You're always so grand, and you don't show me anything at all about not being well, do you?

"Yeah."

"But, yeah, I see it, and I think it's actually always mentally critical. Master Reese, you're only fifteen, aren't you?

Nina told me, and the daughter, she turned hard.

We tend to forget from our usual grandstanding behavior, but she's younger than we are.

"Yet you even served as the Legion Commander, leading your own troops. With one of your own instructions, a lot of soldiers die, right? I guess I'll have to be a lord in the future, and I'm under a lot of stress."

"Yes, it is... it must be very hard."

"Right? If Master Kazura sticks with Barletta, you can't be as stuck as you are now. Don't you think I'd be poking around if someone stopped by?

"Right..."

My daughter roars "hmm".

"So if Nina was Barletta, what would you do?

"Well, that's bad for Master Leese, but I'll use any hand to drop Master Kazura. If they take it away from me, I don't think I'm gonna be able to stand it and die."

"And you could die... oh, sure, you could die"

When his daughter hammered him, Concon, and the door to the room were knocked.

"Valletta, are you there?

Everyone sees the door in unison to Reese's voice, which echoes from outside the room.

"Or we have to hide!

"What!? Hey, why!?

"If you look at me like this, it'll make the conversation easier! Nina and the others, look!

Nina and her daughters, who were comforting Barletta, were also summoned, and we all rushed to lie down in the shadow of the bed and hide.

"Valletta, fine!

"Ugh, yeah... gu"

Barletta wiped her tears and rose out of bed and headed for the door.

When Barretta opened the door, she looked at Barretta with Leese's bright red eyes and gave her a slight face.

"What. Could it be that you're crying? What's the matter with you?

"Uh, the..."

Leese looks worried about Barletta.

"In the meantime, do you want to sit there? Right?"

"Yes......"

Barletta and Reese sitting side by side in bed.

Nina and the others are whispering their ears as they kill their breath.

"Since dinner, I've been trying to come because something was wrong... something wrong?

"Yes, no... that's not..."

Leese becomes a troubled face in the mouth-watering barretta.

"If you're in trouble, I'll talk to you, okay? If there's anything I can do, I'll do something for you."

"What, no, that's not it. It's just... the..."

I can't be honest with you, Barletta gets nagging.

"It's not like I can tell people, or what?

"... Yes"

"Hmm, well..."

With his heartfelt worried eyes, Reese stares at Barletta.

Barletta is filled with unbearable feelings and can't look directly at Reese.

"Someone did something to you, not something like that, right? You know... you were attacked."

"Yes, no! That's not it!

Barletta answers in a hurry.

"Oh well. What's bothering you, that you're going to be able to handle yourself?

"Yes. It's okay."

"Mmm, okay."

Reese strokes Barretta's head, okay, okay.

"But if you can't, you can talk to me, okay? Whatever it takes, you can count on me."

"... Yes. Thank you."

Barletta nodding in a sober way.

Neither did the servant Liese know why Barletta would react like that, and she was in deep trouble.

But when it comes to things that people can't talk about, you can't even ask them.

"I have friends from Grisea Village who are here. If you change your mind, can I talk to those daughters? I'm sure you'll help."

……

Stinging, Barletta nods.

Reese thought for a while with a slightly troubled face, yes! And I hit my hand.

"You know, for a change of mood, why don't you watch some kind of movie from now on at Kazura's?

"What!?

To my surprise Barletta, Leese gets a decent look.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Could it be that you didn't like it?

"Oh, that's not true! I'm coming with you!

Barletta snorts in momentum.

Reese looked a little relieved by the way it looked.

"Good. Well, then, let's watch a fun movie while we eat sweets. Let's stay up late today!

Reese takes Barletta's hand and stands up.

"Me, you like sweets with that 'Happy Powder' on them! I feel a little addicted already."

"Oh, I like that too. It's delicious."

"Right! If it was one of those treats Kazura's bringing me, I guess that's my favorite. Which treat does Barletta like best?

"I like sweets with wizard paintings. Mix the powder, and the more you work it out, the more the color changes."

"Ah, those are delicious too! It's fun to make!

Leese leaves the room with Barretta, talking about it.

Then the doors closed, and Nina and the others rose themselves out of the shade of the bed.

"... hey. Could we have said the worst?

"Dear Leese, you were so sweet..."

Oh, and everyone sighs.

Nina fell into bed.

"... Valletta, if you stay like this, you could really cry."

No one could answer Nina's crush.
