Me and Celia were coming home.

Then, surprisingly, unexpected people greeted me.

"Welcome home, Mr. Slade, Mr. Celia"

"Mr. Orfina!?

"Duh, why are you here?

In addition to Cretta, Mr. Orfina, Mr. Alma and Mr. Shalol welcomed us.

They should have gone back to Sona's house, but why are they here?

"Actually, when I heard that Mr. Slade and the others were in trouble, I came here to help out a little bit."

"You were..."

Apparently, the four of them also know that something was happening in this town rather than the visit of the Dark Knight. However, since we fought downtown, that wouldn't be anything strange either.

"Are you both okay with your body?

"Cletta, it's okay. The injury was healed by a healing technician"

"I haven't fought, so I'm not hurt."

"Really... then you can rest assured for now"

We spoke to Cleta, who seemed worried.

Always bright Cretta seems worried about this happening to the boulders, too.

"Anyway, you want to get some rest soon, right? Please wait while we prepare dinner and more"

"Oh, thank you"

Thus, we were first returned to a reassuring place.

◇ ◇ ◇

Me and Celia were talking to Mr. Orfina and Mr. Alma while we were waiting for dinner.

I just feel like that posture is a little problematic. Because me and Celia are getting knee pillows.

I'm asking Alma, Celia's asking Orfina, to do that.

By the way, Mr. Sharroll is in charge of cooking with Cretta.

"Mr. Slade, what about my knee?

That's what Alma asked me to worry about.

The knee is very comfortable to sleep on. For that reason, you won't have to worry.

"Well, that... sounds good"

"Really? Good, then. Even on my knees, I can heal you."

"Yeah..."

Mr. Alma said that with a little light on me.

That looks adorable.

I thought this guy was a man, so maybe my eyes are crazy.

"Speaking of which, are you glad Alma didn't participate in the cooking?

"Yes, I am good at cutting ingredients, but not that much when it comes to flavoring…"

That's what Alma answered my question.

Alma seems to be the type of person who is good at preparing below. I'm a little impressed with some of those people.

"But I like Alma's food, too."

"Dear Orphina... thank you"

So, Mr. Orfina raised his voice.

In that word, Mr. Alma is a little lit up. Perhaps it is weak when praised?

By the way, Mr. Orfina and Mr. Alma sit tight. I have a subordinate relationship, but I'm really close.

"How's Celia? Does my knee feel comfortable sleeping?

"Yes. It feels very, very good. A little, I'm afraid..."

Apparently, Mr. Orfina's knee feels good, too.

However, Celia seems a little nervous about the boulder, too. It's the knee of a noble man. That too, naturally.

But come to think of it, Sona's a nobleman, too, so maybe you don't need to worry so much.

"Mr. Celia, you don't have to worry about that. She told me that she thinks of Celia like her sister. I mean, it's the same for me and my sister."

"Oh really..."

To Mr. Orfina's words, Celia gave a delightful voice.

I guess I'm doubly happy with what Sona was saying and what Mr. Orfina told me.

"Mr. Slade, too, is like family...... will he be your brother?

"Huh? Oh, right..."

So, Mr. Orfina has said that.

I always forget that Mr. Orfina is younger than me. Both Faraes and Orfina look older than they are, so they forget.

"Mr. Slade? Do you think I look older?

"Yep..."

Such a thought of mine was immediately discerned by Mr. Orfina.

Apparently, it's easy to understand who I am.

But this is not good.

Mr. Orfina may get angry if he hears that he was considered higher than his real age. I remember Faraes getting a little angry, so I'm a little worried.

"Then maybe I'm your sister."

"Huh?"

"Mr. Slade could essentially be my brother."

But Mr. Orfina wasn't angry at all.

Rather, it sounds a little happy.

"Um... aren't you angry?

"Huh?"

"Yeah, I feel higher than its real age..."

It bothered me, so I decided to ask.

How can you react so differently to Faraes?

"I won't be mad at you for that. Instead, if you think you're an adult, you're happy."

"Oh really...?

"Yes, I am conscious, as a noble being, to behave with decency. If you look older than you really are, you're just happy that you've achieved it."

"I see..."

That's why Mr. Orfina seemed happy.

I guess that comes from my consciousness as a nobleman.

What a splendid concern. The spirit is very respectable.

"Speaking of which, I think Sona is a little grown up too..."

"Huh?"

So Celia has said that.

My understanding of that word doesn't follow a bit. Is Sona that grown up?

"Sona, too, must have a sense of herself as a nobleman. It's a relief."

"Right. It's a very noble behavior…"

Mr Orfina also endorsed Celia's words.

That would mean my perception is wrong.

I'll look back in my mind about Sona.

Sure, I may not even be able to see it as an adult. Behaved a little bit above my real age, but not strangely.

But my first impression of Sona is really strong.

Sona was more like a child on her first assignment. For that reason, I guess the feeling of being an adult didn't come out first.

"Mr. Slade, do you agree?

"Yeah, right. I think Sona is an adult."

"Hehe, right"

Mr. Orfina asked me, and I was answering that.

If I hadn't thought about it properly, I wouldn't have gotten this answer.

"Sona, she's really cute. I've been trying very hard to be a fine nobleman for a long time..."

From there, Mr. Orfina started talking about Sona.

Mr. Orfina, who talks about Sona, sounds like a lot of fun. Really, you must like Sona.

However, the problem is that its content can be Sona's embarrassing past. This won't happen personally because we're being told about it without Sona's permission.

But it is not sneaky to block the story of Mr. Orfina, who seems to be having fun. So bad for Sona, but let me talk to her.

That's what we were talking about until dinner was ready.
