Returning to The Winged Lion's Nest, it was already evening. Atra, who has been human all day, seems tired of boulders and easy on my back. From time to time, I spill a laugh.

At the reception, Mr. Paolo welcomed me.

"Welcome home. How was the water capital?

"It was great. Map, thank you"

"No. If you enjoyed it, most importantly,"

With a gentle expression, the manager said to me.

Really, you must be proud of your hometown.

I snapped my neck to the corrupt edge next door and asked casually.

"I'm sorry, I just want to cut some hair with you in the room, but it's not good, is it?

"Do you have your wife's hair? That's again -... ok. Get ready."

"Thank you. And this."

"? What's this??

Remove the notebook cut from the nose with one hand.

Mr. Paolo receives and tilts his neck.

"Give it to an old man named Pirlo."

"!.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

The old manager is stunned.

I smile.

"I met the old man at the coffee shop you introduced me to. So, to this girl."

My back atra is about to slip off, so I'll hold it back.

Then I laughed with great pleasure.

"I got candy balls. Thank you, tell him. At the coffee shop, you said it would be quicker to give it to you, right? Things seem pretty urgent."

".................. sorry"

"Oh, don't apologize. I don't know anything. It is also the case that this hotel is the departure point for Mizuto Intelligence. I don't even think you're deeply involved. Sometimes we come to stay, don't we? - It's been a very good day. Again, thank you. Well, thank you for later."

Smile, smile, and leave reception.

…………

Mr. Paolo dropped us off with his head deeply bowed.

As soon as I got back to my room, a few hotel people came and got my hair ready to cut.

... I was terribly nervous. Did you hear something weird?

Leaning my neck, I stroked Atra asleep in bed. He changed his appearance, to the appearance of a young fox. I use proper pillows and they are adorable.

Speak up to the corrupt edge.

Lydia, we're ready.

"Mmm."

At the same time as I came back, I took off my clothes, put on my white shirt, and Lydia, who also looked like a moving half trouser, sat in a wooden chair placed in front of me, so I put on a white apron.

... Although I'm not an eye-catcher, I know. This chair, cultural property grade substitute.

After a few moments, the corrupt edge looked back.

"Ma?

"Yes, sir. Your hair's gonna get wet."

"Mmm."

With water magic, wet the back hair that is chopped into clutter.

Combining with a brush, talking.

"Why did you cut this? Dagger?"

"... I don't remember"

"Ha... it's my fault, and I won't say it strongly, but the corner, it was beautiful..."

"Aren't I beautiful now?

Lydia teases me in a sweet tone as I let my legs hang out.

Ever since we got out of King's Capital, there's been Atra, and the time we've been alone, is it because we haven't had much time?

Little by little, I put a pinch in the back of my hair and fixed it up.

"Objectively, I think it's beautiful. I'd say the ribbon is fresh and cute on the forehead."

"I don't need a word from Saiso. Come on.... I'll stretch it out again. Continue ribbon on forehead?

"That's as much as you decide. You don't think 'long's a hassle' like when we met, do you?

"It's still a hassle. I'd have short hair if I were alone. But"

Lydia, it smiled happily.

Through the window, the sunset slips in and the redhead glows.

"I prefer you longer, if that means much longer. That's what I want!

".................. well"

I'm done finishing my hair, flying my hair with wind magic, all the way through, confirmation.

Yeah, I haven't hung up in a while, but it worked.

While cleaning, I'll tell you.

"Even if you stretch it, you can have your hair cut apart from mine. You used to have Lisa and Anna hang up on you, right?

"Now, you're here. Besides, can't you just say that? You sure you don't want to?"

Put the cloth together and remove the apron from Lydia's neck.

Stand up, turn around, nigga.

"Assuming that happens, maybe it's the man who cuts my hair? Can you accept that??

"I don't know what dinner is. I hope this evening is delicious."

"To delude is to... heh... damn Ugh ♪ It's okay. Other than you, I can't believe they touch my hair... it just makes me sick to imagine. I'm glad you could monopolize me."

"... I wonder when and where I raised you the wrong way"

I'll put a table nearby. [M]

Lydia then quickly embraced her.

I assure you with a hard believing voice.

"Nothing, nothing, nothing's wrong. There can't be a world that doesn't meet you, and don't let it exist! Even if, that day -... I didn't have to meet you on the Royal School entrance exam, I found you. Even if you were at the end of the world! So this is inevitable. Understood? If you understand, reply!

"... Really, you are a troubled princess"

"I tend to reply."

He pushes his head against my chest and grabs it with his fingers. Can't help but be happy, my forehead, which is very similar to Lynne's, is also up and shaking.

Hold your back gently and stroke your head.

"Well, sure, maybe,"

"Don't, don't, don't....... Never, Never, Eww, I won't let you go again. So, next time I see you, I'll slash that abominable 'brave man', burn him, and make him cry!!!

"You want Alice? That's big again."

"It's no problem. Because."

The corrupt edge saw me.

And in her arms Lydia laughed innocently, as she did four years ago.

"As long as you're next door, I'm invincible! Nothing, nothing, I'm not scared!!!
