The moment you realize it, you're pulled from behind.

"Ray, this is mine!Don't touch it! "

Turn around in a hurry and there will be bears!A chestnut-haired man wearing a bear mask featuring cute round ears holds me in his arms.But this is Jill!!

"Hey, don't call me by my name at the masked ball.You're an innocent guy. "

"Shut up. I don't want to hide who I am. What are you talking about?Everyone who comes here will already know.Well, there's one person here who doesn't know.... "

Your arms hugging you with a disgusting voice make you feel stronger and more accusatory.

"If you're not used to getting out, there's nothing you can do.It's a problem if you don't notice it until the end, but it looks like you noticed it the moment it was taken.Isn't that enough? You're loved. "

I get a guy called Ray to follow me for some reason, and then I take a ride without knowing it. Yeah, I nod.

"Basically, if it's that important, you should keep it with you."

"Whenever you don't have to tell me, I'm gonna do it!

When Jill complained about not putting her hair in, she thought a man named Ray had blown it out and laughed very pleasantly.

"That's good. Interesting.I'll listen slowly again. Kitty, let's dance next time.And thank you for getting along with my sister. "

Before I asked my sister, she said, "Disturbance is retreating." She winked and left.

"Jill, who is this guy?

"It's my cousin Reinaldo.You must be Miss Merliah Oldis's second brother. "

Oniisama of Merliah!That's why you said that earlier.If I'd known, I'd say hello too!And I'm convinced it's similar to Jill.

"... for now, I want to go home tonight."

I nod to Jill's somewhat tired voice.

It was a masked ball that Triana told me to enjoy, but I enjoyed it enough in the two previous dances.

So I am not dissatisfied with going home.However, there was a little resentment in Jill's eyes and he was scared on his way home.

◇ ◆ ◇

And now I'm kneeling in the carriage on my way home.Jill's slightly grumpy air is awkward and his eyeglasses are still on the ground.

"For the record, I knew the moment you entered the venue."

"Eh!?

That's amazing. I thought it was a fairly complete disguise.Nevertheless, I feel a little regretful, and I can't honestly praise Jill for seeing it with my own eyes.Yeah. I was looking for a different person anyway.

"While I was trying to see how things were going...What is it, that little bird?Forgive me for hitting you in the ear, and make you look so happy.Your guard is too loose.Even the next light clown seemed to be having a lot of fun. "

"... Triana was the first to dance, and Felix was the second."

Jill bursts into me for a moment.If you two couldn't see through, you wouldn't be different from me.

When I got a little more comfortable, Jill got even more upset.Oh, I dug a grave.

"Besides...."

Besides?

"And today's costume... is too bold."

When I felt Jill's gaze stuck in the valley between my chest, I crossed my hands and hid it.

Of course, this is a fake valley!With the help of a magical tool called Corset, which cannot be said, I was able to combine the efforts of the maids and my patience.Yes, it's a crystal of sweat and tears.Yes, but embarrassing!

"This is what Triana-sama prepared for me!? Not my taste! I was embarrassed to be so bold, but I didn't know it was you anyway, so I was pushed!!

Even though I hide it with both hands, Jill can't lose sight of it from my chest, so I twist my body even further.

Then Jill stretched out his hands slightly and took my hands and opened them.

I was fine until now, but I was embarrassed and helpless as soon as I was pointed out.Your body temperature is cool and rising.

And instead of using force against Jill, he pulled his strong arms...

Chu.

and Jill's lips fell on her chest.Your lips tremble when you don't say a lot of things.

You can look up at the same distance and smile easily and maliciously.Jill snapped his jaw at me because I couldn't move or move.

"I'll forgive you with one kiss.It's easy, isn't it? Just keep your face down. "

I don't know.I don't know! It doesn't make any sense!

"I don't want to! No!

When I resume my offensive defenses to regain my critical freedom and both arms with the words of rejection....

Well then, I'll do it myself.

Chu.

and I was prepared to receive a persistent mouthfeel from here, but my unexpectedly light, glued lips quickly let go and instead I was hugged.

"... if I persevere, I'll endure because I look angry.I don't want to fight. "

Hearing the words of compromise with a disgusting voice, I feel calm too.

"I said I'd go home myself, but I really wanted to dance with you."

"I wanted to dance with Jill, too."

Jill has a cute bear mask and an unusual vibe, and she must have enjoyed dancing with a cat and a bear.

"... I was jealous."

The tiny voice I heard in my ear made my chest tickle.Physically, Jill is holding her tightly, so she's squeezing, but it's kind of painful overall, and she can't refuse, so it fits into her arms.

And I was pretty jealous too!Well, it was a mistake.

And what do you mean?Sometimes when I'm alone, I say something cute to you so that you don't break your usual mean and affordable attitude...I wonder what it's like to be older... ahh!It's over!

"Ah, well, I'm losing, so I'm going to throw my knee in the garden...If you like... will you still do it now?

"Do"

Jill's head rests on his lap as he answers with a slightly covered reply.

Because it is a carriage for nostalgia, the interior of the car is more compact than usual.That's why Jill seemed a little cramped, but he climbed firmly on his knees and wrapped his arms around my waist to keep me from shifting to the wagon sway.

"Stay next to me for the next time."

"Isn't that always the case?Even though I wanted to do it this time, I'm telling you that Jill is a game.... "

"... you shouldn't be reluctant to put out your lap pillow."

……

"... put on your hair."

……

This is it as soon as I made a concession.While thinking about it, I will also stroke my hair in the end.Is this the weakness of falling in love?

There was no conversation for a while before the carriage stopped, but we got along somehow.

◇ ◆ ◇

"Ah, today's masked ball was the most fun I've ever had."

I see. I could dance with my pretty stepdaughter.Besides..... "

"Yeah, Gilbert, right?

"Ah, I was about to blow out that distant movement that I could see from afar."

"Me too. I chose a bear mask only this time...."

"Yes, the bears are restless."

"Fu, fufu, ho ho ho"

"Kuku, Kuku, Hahaha"
