Jill has been less overprotective since her departure during this time. I'm not saying it's getting a little rough, but it's getting a little distanced.

Of course, it's not blatant. He talks to me normally, and he stays when he's on his side.

Then why do I feel that way? I don't have the same eye and attitude.

You look at me like you beg for something with your eyes, but if you try to touch me, you just take a little distance. You're taking care not to be noticed by me, or you're going away with ease.

Jill said she wanted to be on her side, but she just left.

But I guess this is also necessary. Cecil, I hear what you told me is working pretty well, and I'm trying not to tie me up, apparently.

... I can't tell you how serious I am to myself, even though it's different to avoid it when I watch.

Jill, I can't tell you anything because leaving is what I need, but do you still think I miss you? How happy I would be if I could be on my side without thinking like I used to be.

But I also want Jill to see it properly as an adult, so it's a complicated mood.

Blurry view out the window from the bed as you sigh.

Already near midnight, during which the entire mansion fell asleep. There are no more lights in the mansion room. From what I've seen from the window, there's no lighting in my father's study either, it's a quiet one.

Probably just me and the guard awake. However, the magical fluctuations slightly transmitted from the outside belonged to someone I knew well.

"Still doing it"

Swinging in the darkness, purple electricity. You must be working in special training for attack magic today. The guards aren't flying in because Jill said so beforehand.

If you don't have time to train at the Magic Academy, this is how you're sneaking in late at night to encourage your magic exercises.

Jill, who says it's time to go to bed, but doesn't compromise and even builds up his training.

It seems to contain the reaction as much as possible, but sometimes it is called darkness, and the magic itself is visible. A beautiful, swinging red and purple light created by flowing magic without precipitation and putting it under perfect control.

I often get a blurry look at Jill's schedule without going to bed because I know I'll be practicing here when I don't have time.

... How can you work so hard?

Jill said she wanted to beat her father within two years. He wants my father to admit it.

The question that came to mind when I heard that was two.

Why do you want to win? Why is there a time limit of less than two years?

If you beat your father, your strength will put you at the top of the Magic Academy. That's why you can name the strongest in the real country. If you want that honor, I don't think Jill does.

Limit of not more than two years. Jill is working so hard right now because of this.

And Jill wants something, yes.

Then the answer to be guided is, "I have what my father wants, and I was given the condition that I can't do it within two years"?

"... what I want"

But he says he wants to protect me, and what do I look like besides what I want? Hmmm...... the more you think about it, the less you know.

Uhm, roaring I notice that the magic reaction has disappeared from the outside. Oh, you've done your best to get near the limit already. When I sneak up on the ring, I feel the magic is largely shredded if I don't have the strength to hide it either.

This concludes the day for Jill. The date has changed a long time ago.

I'm sleepy too, but I was worried about Jill, and I grabbed the shawl and popped out of your room like I'd been bounced off that I wouldn't be home to my room yet.

"Jill."

Everyone is asleep, so when I only killed the footsteps and traveled on a small run, I was able to meet Jill, who was just about to go back to my room.

Jill was peeling her eyes off at me jumping out of the corner dressed as Shawl to Negrije, but she shakes her head to shake something off and fixes the shawl that slipped off her shoulder. In the meantime, my gaze didn't match, so I think I got you worried.

"... Dear Liz, why are you up at such a time and walking away with it too?

I can't sleep.

I'm not lying, I'm sleepy to sleep, but I was thinking and Jill couldn't sleep because I was worried.

It was a word for Jill in the face of her eyes, but she had one big sigh of sighing that seemed promising.

"Please return to your room as soon as possible. I will send it to you."

That's what you say and you urge me to walk to make me go home the way I came. My hand, it won't pull me off. You used to pull your hand and walk next door to me.

"What was Jill doing?

"I couldn't sleep a bit either, I was breathing air outside."

Lying to exhale, Jill.

Maybe it's convenient to lie, but it's in Jill's head. You know, I know I'd be worried if they noticed, so I'll pretend I'm okay. You know, Mr. Strong Patience is the day we've spent more than a decade together.

Ji, even looking up, remained the usual serene expression. No. Just a little out of sight of me. Yes, though.

"Really? Please use too much magic to keep me from falling, okay?

Pitt, and the grin hardened, so I smiled instead and took Jill's hand myself.

I squeezed my hands a little trembled, closer. so that you can stand next to me.

"Jill is a hard worker. You can't do that, can you?

"... I was wondering if I could tell Master Liz."

"Mm-hmm. But Jill works too hard on a regular basis than I do."

"Really?

"Yes. It's good evidence that you're working so hard to get to this point in time"

You shouldn't be able to do that, and when you put your nose on your index finger to your back stretching mood, Jill repeatedly blinks like she was taken aback. Immediately troubled, then with a slightly happier glow, your eyes narrow.

Still, Jill tries to smile modestly and get a little distance from me.... Cecil, you seem to care a lot about what you told me.

Then I want to be independent, but I don't want to leave.

"Oh, yeah, Jill, just drop by, please."

"... Yes?

I wanted to be with you at all, and I accidentally grabbed Jill's hem.

"Let's talk about it. Just for a little while."

Invite the reluctant Jill to your room and sit back on the bed.

Jill stood right in front of me because she definitely didn't sit next to me. I'm pretty intimidated because of the height difference and seat height, but I'm not afraid because my face is calm.

"... hey Jill. Are you tired now?

I know you're tired, and I'm sorry. I don't know. I just wanted to talk to you.

I knew Jill would never affirm my inquiry, and I couldn't help but ask. How can you work so hard every day, you are.

"Not quite."

Look, I never say I'm tired.... Me too, even though I want you to rely on me. You always treat them like children and try to hide them all from me. Sometimes you said it was sweet.

"That's what Jill looks like."

"It's okay. Besides, it's my job to work out."

"It's stoic, isn't it, Jill?"

"No, because this is selfish"

"... Really?

"Yes, it is."

After all, I don't think my guess is wrong. Jill works hard for what she wants, right? I'm in trouble because I don't know what I want.

"Then may I ask what that personal greed is? I always say what I want. What exactly do you want?

As for this one, I meant to ask you seriously, but Jill just laughs lonely and doesn't answer. I know Jill can't tell you how this happened, but I still want to know.

Mm-hmm, and even if he swells his cheeks, Jill just shakes his head loose. Hands that used to stroke me like I'd give up. Now, he was stretching straight next to his body so he wouldn't touch me.

"... Dear Liz, it's time for you to go to bed. I'm going back to my room."

"Uh, a little more"

"Don't you see it's not a good idea to keep a man in the middle of the night"

"That's right...... no?

No, sir.

Honestly, I thought this was the only answer to coming back, so I guess it's more of a shock than a shock.

"If you don't get some sleep soon, you'll be in trouble."

"I'll give it back to Jill just like that.... Oh, Jill's sleepy too, isn't he? Sorry."

"No, I'm fine."

"No, please rest well!

Jill pretends to be normal, but I think she's pretty tired. 'Cause I've been practicing in addition to my work, and I've been trying until late at night.

You're also depriving me of time to rest because I've retained it, then I need to give it a rest as soon as possible. I work hard every day, so you shouldn't interrupt me, right?

Jill slowly puts her palms on her head with a slight hesitation to me, lowering her brow and laying her eyes down, as I said all I could. Oh, and if you look up, you meet with a smile, but still, Jill is happy to stroke you and your cheeks are loose.

Jill's been out of touch lately, but it's not like he hated it, is it? What you care about, it doesn't change, does it?

Indulging in the feel of my hands while I was at it, I realized that Jill was subtly wandering my gaze and that I ended up treating him like a child.

"... hey Jill"

"What is it?

"... is Jill... treating me properly as an adult?

I'm sure it's because I'm kind of childish, but Jill always sees me as a 'symmetry to protect'. As a squire, I guess it's natural, but still I always feel valued and loved in cages.

Cecil said the cage has largely disappeared, but it doesn't change the fact that it is cherished and adored. Really, Jill had a verse that she was dealing with to forgive her children.

Well, I know I was sticking to Jill, so I just think of him as a kid.

... hey, I was wondering if you could treat me like an adult. Though I think it's better to fix what I say and do first.

Jill remains calm without changing her expression, even as she inquires as she peeps.

Otherwise, I wouldn't blame you.

"I always treat children, and"

"I don't think we should visit at this time because I think it's a woman"

"But I always feel like I'm treating you like a child"

I feel pretty childish when it comes to stroking my head, rubbing my back, or whatever I wanted. Because it feels good, I want it to stick with me.

Jill pushes to silence me when he builds a mountain on his lips, even if he treats me like an adult a little more. Jill stares straight at me this time, wondering what a reflection this kind of statement seemed like because it would mean being stunned when she shut up there.

"... If you don't understand, let's put it into practice?

"Huh?"

Damn, what a cute scream I didn't expect myself to scream.

If I thought I was suddenly drawn, I'd fit in Jill's arm at some point.

The feel of a hard chest plate pressed against your cheeks, Jill's scent filling your nostrils. It's not the usual gentle embrace or anything, more intense, like begging, a powerful embrace asking for me.

It's not painful, but it's held, so much that you can't take much physical movement. It's like, just hold tight to not let him get away with it.

For the first time I've been touched like this by Jill, I can only look up at Jill by losing my words because I'm too unexpected.

"Why are you so defenseless?... Why won't you let me go? If you'd let me go, I'd have given up on you."

"... Jill...?

Dropped words are not directed at me. As if to tell yourself, Jill vomits word by word in agony.

Before chewing the meaning out, Jill hung her mouth corner mocking herself by looking down at me, which fit easily in her arms. Why, such a sad way to laugh.

"... Dear Liz, you know I'm a man, right?

"Yes, sir"

"I'm better than Liz thinks, I'm a man. Much more than you think... a violent, unscrupulous person."

My lips touch my ears.

That's all I get, but I whisper in a low, sweet voice and tremble my tympanic membrane, so I tremble as if I even responded to my body. It's like your spine was stroked with a feather. Forced to draw out the inner heat, you leave something like a thin paralysis on your body.

Ha, and even the little exhale that was leaked is slightly grumpy. It touches my neck, so I'm sorry.

Same goes for the physique difference, but rejecting Jill right now is going to go in some bad direction, but it's going to develop into a lot of problems even as it is, and I can't move in the sense of a double triple.

So I could only shake my body if I was pecked of the skin on my neck that had been stripped out.

"... J, ru?

Below even the neck, halfway between the clavicle and the neck muscle. It's in a position where you can hide it thoroughly with your blouse, but now pull it so your lips can inhale your skin.

I don't have much of an edge on this sort of thing, but I can tell it was marked. It didn't hurt that bad, so maybe something nagging.

Still, if you look in the mirror, you're sure to see small, depressed marks.

Why, Jill buries her face in her neck as she is, to me confused as she is held tight. Now I don't smoke my skin, just push my lips against my neck muscle.

Still, Jill won't let go of me. Ning Lo, hold your back tight with me.

"... too defenseless, I'm going crazy. Please, refuse."

With his face buried in his neck, he still sounds like he's going to cry.

... weird, of. Why, do you want me to refuse? It's like, it's also like the wind you're trying to hate yourself.

Jill, with her face up, laughs mocking herself again. Really, that just looks like a crying laugh, and I'm just a little physical with a hug.

My body is held, but I can manage to move it if it's earlier from my elbow. I slowly turned that hand around Jill's back.

Big body, shaky as it gets. Not like me, man's body. The splendid body that envelops me only felt small now for some reason.

I really wanted to stroke your head for you, but you're caught, and at least you'll hold it from me with forgiveness. It's more like self-immolation than daughter-in-law, Jill.

"Master Liz, in a way, is cruel.... I guess I'm stupid. I can't speak for myself."

Giving back a hug all the time, I stare back at Jill's convulsive giggle and grief living together at close range.

"Even though I know I shouldn't depend on it. Even though I know I shouldn't tie you up. If I think of you, I should give up.... Still stuck to a slight expectation, am I stupid?

"... Jill..."

"If you won't stop me, I..."

So separates the words, and Jill slowly comes close to his face. With a tight face right on my side, I couldn't even think of stopping Jill's lips from touching my skin.

I touched it, next to my lips...... Why does twitching and heat spread all over your body from there when you just touch it slightly?

Jill was back to a grin that just lowered her eyebrows, even though all she could do was let her mouth fill with so abrupt a development. A slightly troubled grin that hid earlier shaky emotions.

"... from now on, be really careful. Then rest and have a good dream."

Jill leaves with such an elegant grace that she lets her body go on purpose or something. After my back disappeared across the door and I was stiff for plenty of thirty seconds, I finally fell into bed thinking was the limit.

If you look beside your lips, you will remember what you felt earlier and you will feel even more ashamed.

It's not like I've never kissed you before, it's all Jill. I have been given lips by momentum.

And yet, the embarrassment is better now. My heart hurts. I remember how I felt when I was held up and Jill's eyes, so much so that I was extra ashamed to wander around on the bed.

I'm sorry I messed up the sheets quite a bit or dropped the stuffed animal on the floor, but it's not the other way around.... If you do that, you have to be aware of it.

... there's no way you can sleep, Jill's idiot.
