--The castle, the garden.

A bright and enjoyable lunch break at Orgol.

The best person to make after-dinner tea is the man.

Otherwise the two exchanged words while looking at her hands.

Two teacups are gently served between the chatting lilac and the lilac.

Ocha

"There must be a little more way to do it."

"Er, if it was a maid, I'd make it so that it wouldn't bother you two! Grass juice"

"Don't be offended."

Peloh

The tea served by the maids wandering around the table is light, dark and perfect with salted plums. The rich aroma of tea leaves and the soft sweetness without clutter can't be put on the waiter's arms.

And yet, why grass juice?

"I'm not complaining about the taste."

Lilac-sama is complaining, that's the best I can do.

"Otherwise, would I not forgive such a presence?"

"Oh, my God!

Looking at it, it seems that such a presence (corona), pointing at itself with both hands, did not feel particularly bad about what happened.

One day, when I was first introduced to Corona, I said, "I'm a little bit of a habit girl, but I trust you the most."

― ― However, considering that Lilac's smile and "fake" were good places at that time, it can be said that this one is more elegant.

"... fuu"

Lilac gently took the teacup into his mouth and sighed and exhaled.

Corona peeks into Lilac's face with a smile as usual.

Lilac glanced at her and told her that the cup was smelly back in the saucer.

"I'm not upset."

I did it!

No, Huta nodded convincingly to Corona, who was pointing at the piece sign.

"I see. Tea made with corona is the most delicious..."

"Isn't this witch mixed with something dangerous?

Too bad

The usual pose of winking out your tongue.

Just... what do you mean? Though I was convinced earlier, Futa remembered a slight discomfort.

Whatever it was, the old Lilac was so spicy on the corona.

Corona doesn't seem to care at all, so you don't have to bother telling her anything. If this question comes to light, Lilac will not be silent.

"What's wrong, Fouta?"

"Master Lilac, it's pretty spicy on the corona...."

"... is that so?

"Ah, you didn't realize?"

"... hmm"

Indeed, Fouta just forgave Corona.

My mouth said, "After all, you are a bonus."

Futa often remembers Lilac who exposed her feelings for Corona.

Who do you think I am!! I thought you were a fragile princess who couldn't protect even one of you!! This hole!! Die with shame!!!

That's all I said.

"Is there something I have to make that kind of judgment about whether I forgive or not?

Maybe this guy.

I don't think you can forgive Corona for that one.

Huta felt that way.

Her work of tilting her tea loosely is elegant and must not disrupt the atmosphere as usual.

Besides, a girl named Lilac M. Fangini has never had an ally before.

Although not known to Fouta, she has deliberately drained herself of her emotions in her life.

"It doesn't matter", such as the feelings you have towards the other person, if it is a relationship of being used and being used.

Beyond that, the top priority is to move things forward efficiently and put in place survival strategies.

Only if it is.

"Dear you."

But. Princess - Thank you for picking me up. "

The point is, I'm not used to relationships other than stakes.

"Corona"

"Yes, yes, maid of the noise, Corona. Did you put your fingers in the tea?

"Don't talk like that even if you put a little finger in it... No, I guess not. Lilac told me to give up the corona."

When she glanced at Lilac, she sent her half-eye to Futa to tell her what she was going to say.

Nevertheless, Fouta's purpose is one. For that reason, even if Lilac hates me a little, it's just hard for me.

"The truth is, you did a great job."

"Futa"

"When I heard about Corona's box, I was so angry about Corona."

Futa!

He promised to help Corona.

"--You, stop it a bit."

Before Lilac, who was about to get up, gave a serious "order" to stop him, Huta said it all.

So let's do it right once.

……

Only foolishly bright music fills the spot.

The crunchy corona expression.

Then, Lilac's face with her lowered eyebrows, which seemed to push and kill her emotions, was in front of Huta.

Uta-sama

Hmm?

"... maid, even if it was enough."

"Yeah."

Apparently, Corona really believed in 'You're Extraordinary'.

I'm sure that was the reaction just now because I was happy.

But...

Lilac's reaction to Corona's gaze made her feel a little nervous.

"I'm in trouble. I mean, that's a real reaction."

That's right.

"It's not like I asked you to reflect on the trouble you caused me.

"I don't have one."

I see.... I don't know... "

Above the sky? Unusual blurry corona words.

Next to that, Fouta was convinced.

That's why I apologized to Futa, crying.

Lilac really helped me, and I thought she was angry because she bothered Futa.

Even though it was just that, I felt happy that it was directed at me.

Actually, if you think about it many times.

"... Futa. I don't know how you looked, but I never forgave her that much."

Loosely shaking his head, Lilac stood up and looked at Futa.

Your hands on the table tremble slightly with your fingertips.

Is that humiliating or...

"Dear Lilac, I'm not telling you to forgive Corona. But I don't think you need to hide what you've been doing for Corona."

"That's not true. The emotions that I have shown will be an entry gap for someone. The contract is still running out, and it's such a rough thing."

"Dear Lilac, I..."

I can't tell Futa the kind of conversation.

And now I didn't know what to say.

- Actually, whatever Fouta said, it doesn't change. It was about Huta and Lilac, so I only had fruit that night. No matter how connected they are.

I don't know if a trusted person deserves to be trusted.

And how difficult it is for her to trust her.

People who had no allies until just three months ago can't easily expand their circle of people.

The human mind is not doing so well.

Futa doesn't know that. Lilac doesn't know.

And of course, there is no way that the other person here will know what they don't know.

But...

Mei-do!! Princess, I love you!!!

It doesn't matter if you know or not.

If we hadn't arranged for Futa, we wouldn't have been able to push them up to this spot. That's why we can't move forward if we don't do something ourselves from here.

Just because the human mind had some sort of trusting human accent, there is no need to rush to anyone.

I don't have one.

It is enough to convey their thoughts and to know the truth about each other.

The little bird wings.

Lilac stares at Lilac in surprise with her dazed lilac.

She glanced at the two of them, and put out her tongue.

"No, don't look so much. It's illuminating."

Smile and don't break the usual smile.

"I don't know what the princess is thinking. The maid likes the princess. I really thought it was good that you didn't feel like it."

Looks like a recording box.

It doesn't sound right, but I feel stunned after listening to everything, and that's it.

"I don't know if you can believe me. But really."

"... why suddenly?"

"I don't know. I thought you should be greedy!

The word did not leak spontaneously.

Greed and nothing. Originally, there was no desire for her.

That's why I still don't understand what "greedy" means.

If you want to say you want what you think you want.

If your life and balance can be trusted by the other person.

It's her utmost greed.

"... you"

This time, Lilac's expression, which had lost the place of his emotions, was so distorted that he almost cried.

It is unacceptable to trust.

It is by no means just selfishness, as long as it involves its own life.

Even though it is.

Why suddenly, twice in the last few months alone?

"Hey, princess."

The girl who stares smiles.

"--There's a possibility."

One word and a smile were the answers.

─ If you want to scatter your life here for no reason, help me.

If it helps, what will change?

"Come on? I don't think I can understand that."

"--I just came to pick up the fruit that will rot if I leave it alone."

─ If not, finish here. If you say yes, do you still have the possibility?

"Puh. Ahahah. Possibility, possibility! There hasn't been anything like that in the last 10 years or so, okay?

Do you feel like you're telling me to trust something like that?

"Not yet, I don't know what that is. If you don't know. But I don't want to die right now."

"Maybe you picked it up. So, thank you. Please help me."

"Maid (me), thank you, I like Princess."

Peloh, she smiled.

The tension thread loosened and the force on her shoulders relaxed.

And then...

"It's something I haven't seen anywhere in over 10 years..."

She murmured and lay her eyes down.

Carefully stroke your lips for a moment and close your eyes to squeeze your eyes.

The look on their faces again is the usual princess.

"I don't know if I deserve to believe it or not..."

In that word, Futa and Corona looked at each other and laughed.

"You're not being honest, princess!

"I don't remember making such a friendship to be honest."

A girl with a clear face gently putting her hair on her ear.

Futa comes up with something.

"You haven't signed a contract yet, have you?"

In one word, it seems they both understood.

As she opens her eyes, the other girl sings with pleasure.

"Well, shall we tie it up?

It's not a contract. Friendship, how much.
