After noon.

Looking to heaven, the sky was covered with clouds as thick as it was likely to rain now.

The weather forecast said it would be a beautiful day, and although I didn't say a word about rain... should I take the laundry in early?

In the first place, the weather forecast in this world is not more accurate than in the original world, so it is wrong to guess….

With that in mind, take in the laundry that is dried in the garden with a sigh of goodness.

"It was a beautiful day..."

As I blurred to myself, taking in the laundry that remained dry, I accidentally felt signs of people behind my back.

"I'm home, Ceres"

"Welcome home... Nate!?"

Surprised at Nate's return even earlier than during this time, I unwittingly raise my barbaric voice.

"What's going on? Quite early today."

"Yeah. The clouds came out of nowhere, so I decided to cut them up early"

"It was. Sure, it's hard to walk around here when it's raining."

That returns it and reminds me of the poor scaffolding around here.

The means of travel from this village to the neighbouring town can be either by carriage or on foot, but mountain roads must also pass along the road.

Mountain roads on rainy days are slippery and dangerous, so you should avoid traveling if you can. It's about the brilliant Nate, so I guess I accidentally slipped my legs on my way home and fell off a cliff and went home early thinking I had no ex or kid.

"Ah... yes. I was able to get home early, and should we make some tea now? 'Cause I was just thinking about taking a break, too."

"Oh, let me do that."

Nate replied and nodded, smiling.

When Laura finished her lunch, she left busily saying, 'I have business, I'm going out for a bit,' so it's my only tea time with Nate.

I feel a little bad, but with a hot rose tea and an apple pie that just baked earlier, let's decide to enjoy afternoon tea.

Back in the room, brewing tea, Nate, who was watching the situation, opened her mouth in confusion.

"─ I remember a long time ago this morning."

"Really? What kind of memory?"

"It's..."

That's all Nate said. Stuck in words, he turned into a sinking face as soon as possible.

"... oh, sorry. I knew I'd stop talking."

That said, Nate smiled bitterly. Can't believe you gave me that look... is it hard to say for the rest of your life?

While I was a little surprised, I stopped pursuing it any further.

"─ I see. So you really can't accept this request?"

"Yeah, no matter how much money they pile up, I'm not gonna let that kid go."

In the corner of the little café, me and Laura, the current master of Ceres, were facing each other, diving into each other's voices and having a conversation.

Having successfully accomplished Krisfel's assassination, I decided to speak directly to Laura to get Ceres back.

Worst of all, I intend to take Celes back by any means I can, but I want to make things easier if I can. That's why I brought the negotiation to Laura, but the trouble is that this old lady doesn't try to respond to the negotiation with a stiff "I can't let go of that kid now who thinks like a real grandson".

"Maybe, you suspect? Seriously, I'm Celeste Roseblade's brother."

"Even if you don't say it again, it's obvious from the look on your face that you are sisters and brothers. 'Cause it really looks just like that."

…………

Unexpectedly, stuck in words. When others point me out that I look "just like you," I recognise that I and Ceres are related by blood.

"... even she should be more relieved to be my servant, who is really a flesh parent. And yet I don't want to come back."

"I'm being mean...... right. If the reason Ceres rolled over to me was just a sister-brother fight, I'd be comfortable with it, but if the reason was sexual, sexual, sexual, or violent."

"So, again and again, that's a lie she's been lying about."

"Really? I don't think she's lying to me."

Laura, who blocked my words, stared at me.

Well, it's a reaction as expected. As you can see from the phrase "I think like a real grandson," she puts her shoulders in Ceres.

Rian is persecuted in this world, so if he's a regular holder, he's likely to believe the words of his former master more than Rian, who escaped, but at first glance, Laura seems like a special mindset person, so any further discussion would just be a watershed theory.

"Okay. It's going to take a lot of time before you can believe it.... In the meantime, this is what we're pulling back on for today"

"No matter how much you prove your innocence, I'll believe that girl. If you think for Ceres, don't come to this village anymore."

……

When I turned my back silently to Laura, who stared at me with a stabbing gaze, I did my accounting and left the cafe behind.

I left the cafe and headed out to Laura's mansion. Of course, to get a glimpse of Ceres.

I dived my breath in the shade of a tree, trying to peek into the garden, and inadvertently heard a talk. When I blinked my ear, I could confirm that the Lord of his voice was Ceres and Nate.

When I looked just a little out of the shade, I saw two people in friendly conversation. Apparently, he just came out of the garden.

"Before it rains, let's get rid of what's here"

"I'm sorry. Thanks for everything."

From the sight in front of me and the content of the conversation, it looks like Nate is helping Ceres with his salary job.

Watching them interact while suppressing the jealousy that gushed, heh, an idea came to mind.

─ ─ If I leave here, what will the two look like?

Needless to say, Nate would scold me. After scolding me that it was something I could put on my face a lot while keeping that awful beating, "Ceres will never give it to you," he said awesome, and I can see trying to chase it back.

But what about Ceres? Maybe he'll be happy to see the face of his brother I've seen for a long time.

I know a hundred things about Ceres resenting me. But maybe......

The moment I thought so, my legs moved naturally and at some point I walked over to the side of the two of us.

"... Long time no see, Ceres. And Nate."

The two of them were staring at each other as if they were distracted. Even myself, I don't know why I acted like this.

If you really want Ceres back, you have to be more sensible and surrounded by roots...... not even like yourself.

"Rich...... t......?

Ceres' voice, bewildered but calling my name, was a little trembling.

"Ceres...... I missed you. I really missed you. Come on, let's go home. Let's go home and renegotiate the contract. Yeah, you don't have to worry about the master right now because he's gonna talk to you from me. The truth is, even you should feel safer by my side. Wouldn't you?... right Ugh!? Ceres!

"... Ouch...! It hurts, Richt......! Please! Stop! Hey, stop...!

Seeking consent, grabbing Ceres' arm forcefully, she complained of pain and distorted her face.

"Come on! Richt!"

Suddenly I wondered if the anger had sounded, and Nate broke in between me and Ceres and pulled us off.

"Ceres wants to go home!? No way! Do you know the gravity of what you've done?

"............... shut up"

The moment Celes and I were pulled off, my reason completely collapsed in me.

"What do you know!? I always do! All the time, you're taking what's important from me! Pretending to be my best friend, you looked down on me as an 'anomaly in love with my real sister' and you had a feeling of superiority...! Don't say great things! You're the one who took away the one he loved and never thought about how I felt betrayed by the best friend he believed in. Ugh!?"

Hitting her thought-length with her breath out, Nate opened her eyes wide and opened her teasing mouth with a single breath.

"... ok. Apparently, you don't know it by mouth."

Nate muttered quietly like that, telling him to travel with him to a vacant lot outside the village.
