"Please wait. I got some good Seyroon tea leaves."

Samantha, who had guided the Arias to the reception room and had left the room alone, returned with tea for a number of people. The whole room was filled with an aromatic fragrance of tea, as if to relax the feelings of the Arias, who remained in a mood of discoloration.

When each of them held the handed out tea, it was included in his mouth after enjoying the aroma sufficiently.

"Yummy......"

Aria, a tea lover, exhales with the words. Elsa and Rachel also felt soothed by the muddy warm tea.

"Phew, good"

Samantha never goes on to say anything after this, just smiling at Aria and the others. The atmosphere, which was slightly bitter, also faded, and they concentrated on enjoying their tea.

"Thank you. Thanks to you, we settled down."

Time went on for a while, first Aria, and then Elsa and Rachel, followed by Samantha. In fact, they were starting to sort out their feelings little by little, taking a breath into their bodies and minds with tea.

(So, who's the mother?

In the wake of Greg's words then, Aria and the others became aware of their position. That we are only part of Gin's partay and not a family with Gin or Towka. And that it could remain the same all the time.

I can tell you that this one case has been a good opportunity for them to reaffirm their thoughts and positions.

They were each looking back at Jin's relationship with themselves.

(Thought we were friends at first.)

Elsa looks back on the past. At least, it was when I invited her to a party at a drinking party after a beginner's course. The change in that feeling would still have been triggered by a series of actions that Jin gave me when I broke up with her partner, Sheryn. I still don't change my mind about being a friend, but it's also true that it just doesn't fit anymore.

(What do I want to be?

Elsa was asking herself that.

(He was reassuring like God at first, fellow protectors at the same time, and Temple Chief Clark (grandpa)...)

Reflecting on the process of changing his impressions of Jin, Rachel was crushing her emotions deeper inside.

The first time I saw Jin was when he was wrapped in light as he prayed. I felt God's presence in its appearance and immediately wondered if Ginn was protective. Now Rachel also reflects that it was a delusional idea, but it was serious then. Talking directly to Jin after the beginner's course eliminated that delusional part, but still, trust in Jin only increased. The phrase, like Grandpa referring to his grandfather, Temple Chief Clark, was the biggest compliment to Rachel.

Rachel herself didn't even know how that feeling changed, but the kind of favor she naturally held changed as if that were normal.

(Are you sure you want to stay like this?

Rachel was also asking herself.

(It was a real pleasure to be a part of Mr. Jin's party. But maybe you were satisfied with that)

Of the three, Aria was the first to realize how she felt about Jin. Seeing Elsa and Rachel act with Jin at one foot, it is also true that Aria was delighted with their good fortune, while also feeling envious of their position. Voluntary training, which was just a habit from then on, began to have different meanings, and I was able to be a part of the Gins' party, inspired by one case of magic fever. I was just really glad to be one of them because I thought that was a dream that couldn't possibly come true for Aria.

(But...)

Living together with Jin and the others was fun, and his activities as an adventurer were enriching with a sense of daily growth. Is that why? At some point he may have been satisfied with maintaining the status quo and no longer seeking any further relationship. At the very least, I rarely moved aggressively myself to move the relationship forward.

And that was something I could say again to Elsa and Rachel as well as Aria.

What they wish for. Maybe that's so clear that you don't even have to ask.

"Heh heh, you all look good. It's a big difference from earlier."

The depressing girlfriends couldn't watch, and Samantha was forced to bring them to the reception room this way. But with just one cup of tea, it looks like they could totally change their mind.

Samantha laughed with pleasure and began her last push.

"I think we all know that there are so many relationships between parties. Some people seal their feelings because it can be a problem, but I think it's always hard. Then when are you going to let that feeling go, but I hope that's not such a party."

Even the parties don't necessarily know, and even if they do, they can act exactly as they do. However, even if today we only questioned our current position, Aria and the others were moving forward a step.

"So I'll tell you about my experience. This is something I didn't even tell Aria."

And once he coughed, Samantha started talking as she smiled, remembering the old days.

"- It wasn't until I was still an adult that I liked that person. I couldn't wait to find out I liked that guy who came to the orphanage once in a while."

That was the story of one woman who continued to have a love affair all the way.

"My first confession was as soon as I grew up. But that guy didn't laugh at me and fix it. Now that I think about it, there was quite a difference in age, and I guess I just seemed like some kid when I was just an adult. But I didn't give up. I quickly became an adventurer trying to be a little closer to him. Party with people close to the year you met at the beginner's course. But, you know, I tried so hard, I guess we didn't have a lot of talent as adventurers. I managed to get a D-rank over the years, but I didn't know how many more C-ranks it would take."

Samantha remembers the time and looks just a little lonely.

Aria and the others also somehow came across Samantha's face, yet unconsciously leaned forward after listening to her.

"That's where I got a fellow who felt the limit and quit being an adventurer. That's when I slipped through the party with him and became the receptionist for the Adventurers Guild. I originally became an Alliance employee because it was one of my future designs. Of course, you were studying to take the recruiting exam, right? I studied in private to get close to him."

As I've said before, one of the conditions for guild officials is that they are adventurers of D-rank and above. Further, a variety of knowledge is required to do so as a staff member. While Samantha continued her activities as an adventurer, I could imagine she would have worked desperately hard.

I couldn't get a little loneliness yet, but I was already sure of who those Arias were, too, in the way Samantha laughed nostalgically.

"Then again, for three years, I worked hard without shaking my sides. I've been confessed to others a few times since I was an adventurer, but all I could see was that guy. Of course I said no, and I never showed that guy my romantic feelings. 'Cause I thought you couldn't see him as a paedophile unless you recognized him as a proper adult first. No, I did my best back then."

It's a convincing story for Aria, who was self-admiring but who had been a colleague with Samantha. Long before Aria became an Alliance employee, Samantha was a senior she could count on.

"And now that I can rely on that guy for work, and then I usually go through conversations and fill the outer moat, and finally convince him that he recognized me not as an orphanage child, but as one adult, I confessed to that guy again. Heh, I was surprised then. Once upon a time, I remembered being confessed as soon as I grew up, but I never thought I'd ever change that feeling again."

Samantha laughs when she remembers and dulls. I wonder how strange that guy was at that time. At the same time, that scene floated in the back of Aria's brain, as if she had seen it.

"But the other person is also a sarcastic one. I didn't get O.K. any time soon. There was quite a difference in age, and he already had one wife, so I'll be the second. You definitely didn't feel bad then either, but, well, I can understand being cautious. I've been talking about wasting it on me and the younger ones, but when you get here, push. Push. I kept giving up."

Proudly Samantha laughs.

"Actually, only to his wife has been telling me how I feel for a long time. If you're serious, I'll back you up, and you gave me all kinds of advice. It was her advice to put up with the confession so far, and it was flawed to me that that person was consulting his wife that he had been confessed. Thanks to him, his change of heart is in his hands."

Oh, my God, especially Elsa snorts loudly. Elsa was also taken care of. His wife is not only profound in her prowess as an adventurer, but also profound in her nostalgia as a woman, who can be described as a female jewel.

"It wasn't until a year after I confessed that he accepted my feelings. He was then...... Well, this is our only secret."

Him - Fortunately for Greg, the worst was apparently avoided as a man: being exposed to confessions (proposals) on his own.

"Well, here's the thing in my case. They're pretty old in my case, so I don't think they'll be very helpful to you guys."

((((Very informative!

I can't tell you because it's a secret, but given Jin's previous life, Aria and the others also had more age differences than Samantha and the others.

"And you all feel the same way, don't you? Which of you will he accept, or all three of you? And if he chooses only one, will the other two give up? No, what if no one chooses? It's up to Mr. Jin around here, but you have to be ready."

Samantha's closest was Aria, but she was equally supportive of everyone only on this matter.

But when Aria and the three of them looked at each other and nodded at the words, which were harsh even as they were told about them. And I said.

"" "Thank you!

They are party members, lovers (rivals), and irreplaceable friends.

Whatever answers Jin would give, their answers had been decided.

And then you said you weren't inclined to apologize for Greg's loss to Aria and the others who came out of the room, that some raw warm gaze was pointed or something?

In any case, after this event, there will be a slight change in the relationship between Jin and the others.

The presence of a newly-added family called Towca, what will that bring to them? That will be spoken of in the future.
