Lydil, Nasha's encounter with Shayla dates back to the spring when the backyard was opened.

It was the beginning of Lidil's visit without any hesitation to Shayla, who just understood that she had been sold and left pompous in her room.

"Hello, are you from this room?

Knocked on the door and said so and laughed, Lidil told me that she had come here the other day too and told Shayla she knew nothing about the backyard.

"I also came from the emerging Baron family that gave me the title for my great-grandfather. Because your father doesn't have much business talent, we are poor even though we have a lot of children. I got a side room conversation thinking that if I left the house, it might help my family a little bit. '

Not all of the emerging nobles hold the economy of the kingdom. It is good to have given the title, but some houses have lost their possessions and are lost in the bottom line while being flirted with by an unfamiliar aristocratic society.

Many of the lateral chambers at the end had been diagnosed with going into the womb in exchange for aid to their parents who were in such distress.

Similar conditions, with close rooms. The understated but actually stubborn Shayla and the bright, social and fearless Riddill were surprisingly fit. While working with her, Shayla was able to undo the curse from her uncle and aunt a little bit.

Then a little later, Nasha added to it. One night, Nasha, who got lost, opened the door to Shayla's room by mistake as her own.

'Um, isn't this my room?

'... Probably, but this is supposedly my room'

'So where is my room?

Suddenly she had a big stray and the troubled Shayla followed her to Lydill's room. At the time, Shayla, who didn't have much interaction with anyone but Lydil, couldn't think of anyone else she could rely on.

"Oh, Shayla and... were you, Nasha?

As Shayla expected, Lidil, who lacked wide and shallow interaction, also knew about Nasha. Lydil laughed at Nasha, who was halfway there when she got lost, and it was a good memory that the three of us searched her room.

"I'm your stepchild. My real father died when I was a little girl and my mother was raising me while working as a waiter in a restaurant for the nobles, where my current father... met Baron Crockett and was proposed. The Baron is a good man, but I'm still not a real nobleman, so I'm hard on that mansion. '

"So, in the back house? But is this not the place like the pinnacle of the aristocratic society?

'That's true, because I heard from the king that the rear palace is now almost abandoned. Except for a night club where everyone's in attendance, you just have to make fun of them in the corner of the back palace. "

"Oh. Actually, Master Nasha, you had a lot of nerve."

'Is it?

There is a saying that equine fits, but in this case it is exactly what Lydil and Nasha and Shayla did. After this night, the three of them start acting together. To be precise, Riddill, who took Nasha, invited Shayla to take her out everywhere.

Whether "Dear Peony" began to do terrible things to the side rooms of the emerging aristocracy, and with it the treatment of the maids to Shayla became cluttered, or "Countess Crester" entered the rear palace in the summer, and the force map changed dramatically - even as Shayla became rumored to be a "pet," only the two of them changed one thing.

After the park tournament, I had told the two of you who came to visit me that, out of so much distress, Shayla had told me not to get involved with myself anymore. It's also true that the King went through for a time, that my 'parents' are those helpless people, that Red Rose hated me, that there's not a single thing I can do to get involved in this.

- And then he got mad at me for wanting to.

'Can you not underestimate too much, Master Shayla?

'Something good or not, that's not Lady Shayla, it's up to me and Lady Riddill to decide'

The two sermons, for Shayla, hurt in every way.

"Because Master Shayla is a pet princess, your parents are. Oh, so Red Rose hated you, so what? If Shayla and I continue to hang out together, will we be in a bad position within the rear palace? - I won't. I don't know about the others, but my Ernest family doesn't imitate betraying their friends. '

'Is that what you think I've been thinking about dating Master Shayla with intentions? I'll tell you what, I knew as much as Lady Shayla had been passed by His Majesty since about the summer. This is all the room is close, and you can't be more aware of it. In the midst of rumours that the Red Rose was amiable with His Majesty, I also saw the rumor and the opposite reality, and thought it might be confusing. If you want to avoid trouble, at that point you are away from Master Shayla'

"Master Nasha is right. No matter how troublesome it may be, I want to be on Shayla's side, even if I turn the namesake to the enemy. I guess we're here now because I felt that way!?

Why, and to Shayla's lips, who moved, returned the same answer.

- Because we're friends.

Instead of successfully crossing the world, the two of them chose not to be ashamed of their own hearts and minds, very, very dazzled by Shayla's eyes at that time. At the same time, Shayla finally realized she didn't believe in both of them somewhere in her heart.

For Shayla, who has the secret that Juke is going through, the only person in the rear palace that can be believed was Dee, who doesn't know his face or his real name. The desire to know more about her swells from time to time, but now that he doesn't want it, he gets away with poorly handed. Don't let Dee hate you, Shayla and I were thinking of carefully packing the distance. Because she seems to have a very timid side to hide, gentle and inclusive.

And sweet to Dee like that, Shayla had neglected to make an effort to seek a familiar understander. - Yes, I can notice.

"- Thank you, Master Lidil, Master Nasha."

"What happened all of a sudden? You don't remember me asking you to thank me for opening the store, do you?

"No, I remember a while ago."

"Previously, was it?

"... you would have come to visit me after the horticulture, wouldn't you?

"Oh, no."

Same as when we met, Lydill laughs.

"Lady Shayla had a lot going on back then. If you want to throw it all out, you can't help it."

"By the way, if you have a hard time taking sides in the situation, but inner support for Master Shayla, because there are others out there. In case of need, we will bridge with Lord Riddill!

Shayla thought she was a happy man.

There are people who tell me that they are friends, there are ladies who help me, - there are 'best friends' that I can relate to.

As much as what else do you want, isn't it filled?

"I've decided. In the prayer of the Lord's Day, I pray that my loved ones will be happier, thanking God Amenos for leading me to the rear house"

"... Dear Shayla, I've been struggling to come to the rear palace for a while, and probably will continue to struggle for a long time."

"Rather than the Amenos god, Radova God's test would be more fitting, wouldn't it?"

Radova God is the one crack of a connected God who is supposedly torn by the Amenos God in mythology, presiding over thunder and ordeal. From the legend that he despaired of humanity's stupidity and tried to sink the world with lightning, he calls the test of falling independently of his own will the 'wrath of Radova God'.

Shayla smiled and shook her neck sideways to the two people who always cared about Shayla, who had flown away and come this far.

"Sure, it's a lot of hard work, but for that matter, the Back Palace gave me a lot of irreplaceable encounters. That's the same light for me. So again, Amenos, I think it's God's guide."

"... are we in on that encounter, too?

"Of course! Master Lidil and Master Nasha are the heads of an important encounter"

Lydil and Nasha also laugh back at Shayla, who laughs like her worries are clear.

The courtyard was right there.

********************

Slightly different from the proper material, but as Lydill said, it was mostly side rooms in the same position as Shayla that were coming to peek into the courtyard's opening. Occasionally, out of rarity, or noble noble ladies also show their faces, but they never stay long.

For the first time in a long time, Shayla was able to indulge herself outside in serene comfort.

(... Speaking of which, I wonder how Dee is doing)

I sneak up on the side rooms enjoying opening the store, but I can't find anyone who looks like Dee.... Though at present all I know about Dee's hindsight and hair color, there are limits to looking for it.

(Maybe Dee didn't dare come to the store)

If Dee wants to hide his appearance from others because his appearance scares him, he will avoid places like this where people get together in large numbers as much as possible.... Maybe Dee is going to spend the whole time during the descent festival in a closed cage in his room.

"Master Shayla? What's the matter, sir?

"Oh, I'm sorry. Think a little..."

Lydil calls out to me and rushes closer to the two of us. Lydil and Nasha were apparently in the midst of chilling a store that mainly collected ornaments imitating winter. As soon as they joined, they pressed the cape.

"Li, Master Ridil?

"Try it on, Master Shayla"

"Look, come on"

Driven to Nasha, not knowing what was what, Shayla weaved the cape she was given. Ho, sigh leaks from three places at the same time.

"I knew it."

"I thought you'd look great."

"Huh... Huh?

"Go ahead, lady, check this out"

To confused Shayla, a store-numbered woman offered me a larger mirror.

This cape, made of white, fluffy hair, covers Shayla's upper body. The sunlit cape sparkled meticulously and it was strange to see her complexion better anyway.

"Ma'am, you look great. I can't believe you're dressed like this. The cape is a reward."

"Uh... you look good, huh?

"Very! At first glance with Master Riddill, 'This definitely looks good on Master Shayla!' And I had an opinion. I'm glad you look better than you can tell."

Nasha hits her hand with joy, and Lidil snorts beside her.

At the edge of her eyes, Shayla searched for Cape's price tag. Normally, this is a buying process, but unfortunately her nostalgia is a 10,000-year-old iceberg.

It was only good quality to see, and the amount was tough on Shayla.

"It's a very beautiful cape, and although I liked it. Unfortunately, this seems to be a little expensive for me to have"

Shayla takes off the cape and returns it to the clerk, giving her a flair of sincere regret. The clerk was obviously dismayed.

"Oh no... there won't even be ten customers in Wangdu who will look as good as the lady"

"No way. If you look better than me, I'm sure there are others out there"

It's actually Shayla who is really a little sorry while smiling at a little bit of a big sales talk. Animal lover Shayla naturally loved the fluffiness and rubbing, because this cape was her favorite.

"Then we'll have that cape. Can you wrap it up for a present?

There, Rin's voice echoed. Looking back in surprise, two full grin friends are standing.

The clerk's expression was brighter and Shayla's face bluer.

"Yes, I did!

"You mustn't, Master Riddill, Master Nasha! Such a luxury item."

"Oh, that's not even that much if you two split it it. Hey, Master Nasha?

"Even so. Besides, Master Shayla, you must have liked that cape. It looked really good on you and... then Master Shayla should have this."

"You two are right! Yes, the packaging is complete."

That's right, I should say professional, or the lady in the store number is amazingly fast-track and offers a beautifully wrapped cape. Lidil received it before Shayla withdrew and Nasha let Nico pay cash to complete the deal.

"Master Lidil and Nasha won't listen to me anymore!

"Oh dear Shayla, this is a misunderstanding. Exchanging gifts between family and friends on the Sunday of the Evening Festival is a fashion these days. Because of this, don't you want to choose something that makes you happy?"

"Then I'll give you both something, too"

"Right. At this time, should I also choose a gift for Nasha?"

"Oh, Lord Riddill, you forgot your stuff, didn't you?

In the wake of that conversation, the three tours of the store became one-of-a-kind: looking for each other and buying what they wanted from each other. Riddill and Nasha put capes on Shayla, Nasha and Shayla put necklaces on Riddill, Riddill and Shayla put gloves on Nasha, etc.

"Though coincidental, you've become all ornaments"

"Oh, really. - Yes, Master Shayla, Master Nasha. Because of that, and at the New Year's Eve party, why don't you put on what you got and attend?

"Well, that's a good idea!

Across lunch (the arts were plain fine, as the people in charge of the kitchen at the rear palace were letting them expand stalls giving away easy to eat sandwiches, etc.), the three of them finally finished buying each other presents, having enjoyed shopping for a long time, and were in high tension. Shayla walked through the crowd in pacing with Ridil and Nasha, who made a good noise, where she felt like something had caught on the edge of her eyes, stopping inadvertently.

Looking around, there is the back of the store where I bought the cape earlier, and something hangs glistening underneath it. Shayla fluttered closer so that she could be enchanted by its brilliance.

(This...)

It was a strange thing. Of an elongated stick that shines silver, one end is sharp and pointed, while the other is swayed with a number of decorations coloured with white and silver. If it's quite impossible, it doesn't look like the bamboo (kanzaki) commoners use when wrapping their hair around, but what they use isn't so thin or pointy, and it doesn't have a hiccup decoration on it.

"... uh,"

I was unconscious. When I realized it, from behind the store, I dazzled the insanity of calling out to the people at the store. The woman in the store number (who was the same person as earlier), who apparently called in at the store, looks back and approaches me as surprised.

"Oh, the Cape lady earlier! I beg your pardon for the disrespect with which you see such a murderous and painful back."

"No, I took the liberty of peeking, never mind.... So, I'd like to ask you a few questions."

"We don't accept Cape returns, do we?

"No, it's not! What is this?

Moving her eyes to what Shayla's fingertips had shown her, she turned out to say "Shit" to see.

"Well... you've been found"

"The glittering light caught my eye."

"Oh well, reflect on the sunset..."

Women have a bitter face, where the goodness of daytime affection is like a lie. Shayla falls and leans her neck.

"... me, have you found something extra?

"No, I'm not... This product was just finished this morning. I left it hanging underneath the house to dry for a while, and I forgot it by accident."

"If so, may I decide to sell,?

"... Ma'am, can you tell what this is?

Returned to the question with a question, Shayla thinks a little.

"This is the decorative part... moon, right?

"Yes, this part is inspired by the moon and the snow crystals"

I see. It makes sense that the decorations you see on the moon shine the wrong way. In fact, it can't be, they're imagining 'If there's snow on the moon'. Glittering motifs around them come in different sizes and shapes, but all come tight when they are said to be snow crystals.

"The winter moon......? Wow, beautiful."

"Thank you"

"When it comes to using this ornament, as you can see in this ornament… I still can only think of a"

Besides, a woman blinked her eyes properly. Still no, my cheeks get hot.

"Sorry, it's something I don't study..."

"No, ma'am. Thank you."

A woman's lips shape a grin. Now it was Shayla's turn to be decent.

"Huh, is it? This thin stick?

"In this country, you're not in a very familiar way. Across the mountains of the Goddess, in the Far East, far ahead, it is common for the core of the pigeon to be so thin that it is decorated with a wobble first."

"Well... is that so"

I would say that common sense would change if things were different, but I didn't think that one was so different. Unexpectedly, I get a smudged view.

"If you don't mind, will you take it and take a look?

"Is it good?

"Be a lady, specially. - Please note the tip is pointy."

Saying so, the pigeons were given little weight for the delicate decorative craftsmanship. Fluffy and light - every time you move your hand, the moon and snow gleam.

"... you care, have you been summoned?

"No -"

Shayla slowly shook her neck to the side as she let the light play into the reddish sky.

"Not me, it's not. Remind me a little of the gentle, delicately glowing one like this"

From the first moment I saw it, Shayla had always thought.

- This ornament looks absolutely good on Dee.

You don't even know your face, you might think. But the light of the moon swinging gently in the blink of an eye, the crystals of snow shining to protect that moon, and the seemingly disappearing if you do touch it there - everything felt like it was one dish for Dee.

"... would you give it to your friend?

I jumped in to break the silence, I get annoyed by the woman's voice in the store.

"But this item is for sale..."

"I just wasn't willing to sell it at the Royal Palace, because I was going to sell it somewhere in time. As with Cape, if it's in the hands of the right person, it's the fate of the pigeon."

"Uh, but money..."

"It's not that expensive."

The price told was within the bounds of being able to buy without resistance, even if it was a snowblowing Shayla. - I mean, seriously, I see it in my pocket.

Give this to Dee. Will she - will you put it on and show it to me?

Shayla?

"Master Shayla, oh, where did you go?

- Lydil and Nasha called me to stop where I had left the store and walked with my head core half paralyzed. The two that are approaching are eye-catching and pay attention to Shayla at hand.

"Oh, Master Shayla, did you buy something?

"Oh, yeah... to those who always take care of me,"

In the nodded Shayla's hand - gently packaged, elongated wrapped was gripped.
