The day after I poisoned the prince of the kingdom.Cecilia breathed deeply as she looked up at the blue sky on the bench in the courtyard.

"I don't know what I'm going to do...."

The pudding was not well made, and it bothered my friends, and I have no important prospects for the future.Ain and Zwei have not yet met properly, and the favor is that they are crawling the land.

For now, I've been forbidden to stand in the kitchen for a while, so I can't make pudding anymore...

"And Oscar got wet too!Gil's gonna get mad at me!It's scattered! "

Your arms and legs are stretched, and your legs are stretched.

There were a lot of things about Oscar, but now I don't think about it because my head is about to flak.And this is not a question that Cecilia can answer by herself.It's not simply a story of likes and dislikes, and there are situations such as mutual positions.

When I was doing so, I was surprised to find a lot of stuff under my feet.Dropping his gaze, he saw a cat there someday.

"Nyahn!

"Ah, here."

Koko!

Almost as Cecilia called out the cat's name, there was a voice behind her.Looking back, there was...

Zwei?

"Ah, the other day...."

There was a split twin.There is a braid on the left side, so it is definitely my younger brother (Zwei).When he met Cecilia, he distorted his sorry face like his brother and suddenly lowered his head.

"I'm sorry about the other day!You saved my life, and Ain did it!... hey, did you get hurt?

That's what Cecilia said with her crying face. Cecilia turned around the shoulder of the one who had been kicked.

"I'm fine! I'm fine!I didn't get hurt. "

"... I see.I'm glad. "

Your chest feels relieved with a reassuring face.

In fact, it was painful enough to harden my expression, but I put a smile on it and got through it.

Cecilia suggests Zwei next to the bench in a side-by-side fashion.Zwei was confused at first, but more honestly than he thought, he sat next to Cecilia.Zwei sat down and rode on his lap.

Zwei once again lowered his head to Cecilia as he stroked Koko, who had begun a pleasant nap on his lap.

"I'm really sorry. I also advised Ain to apologize...."

Thereafter, Zwei seems to have tried to solve Cecilia's misunderstanding.But Ain's attitude was stubborn, and he didn't listen to Zwei all the time.On the contrary, "Is he threatening you?They suspected it. "

"No matter how many times you say it, you won't listen to me.Ain has a bit of a hard head..... "

"That can't be helped by a misunderstanding!The situation was the same!It's okay. I don't care at all!

"Thank you very much.... I'm glad Cecil is so kind."

With his gaze down, he smiled softly.The pretty face is as good as if it were a girl.That's the target.

(... I just realized!This isn't a very good situation!?)

All of a sudden, I was surprised and slow to think of it, but maybe this is a great opportunity to increase my likelihood.

Play a conversation here to increase Zwei's likelihood!And when you get along, you can introduce Ain and increase the likelihood of Ain!

This is the only route we have left!

(But I don't know about the conversation.Let's talk about Koko.No, but....)

I wanted to ask him more than that now.

Cecilia turns back to Zwei and opens her mouth.

"Speaking of which, is that okay?

"Is that so?

"Something, like a fake?

Cecilia remembers when she met Zwei.I didn't feel that it was the first time for anyone to get irritated or irritated.Are you used to being weird?I felt it was not routine, but habitual.

Zwei nodded deeply after seeing Cecilia's words.

"Yes, not every day..."

"Why?"

"That's because... we're twins"

Lower your voice and lower your gaze.Cecilia twisted her neck more and more with such a Zwei look.

"What do you mean? Why do you think you're twins?

"... don't you know?

"What are you doing?

Cecilia twists her neck with a confused face.Then Zwei got a little lost and answered the question with an overwhelming voice.

"Twins have long been called 'devil's children' and hated."

"The devil's boy?

"Yes, there is a myth that the demon that the goddess allegedly defeated was actually a twin demon.Especially in the north, where there's a temple, there's a lot of people who believe in it. "

Does that mean that the three bullies were from the northern realm and that Ain and Zwei, the twins, were faking as "devil's sons"?

That is too unreasonable, to say the least.

"What is that?! Is that what twins say!?"

"I don't think it's that unusual.I don't know what the rest of the country is like, but it looks like it was rubbed when we were born in our territory.My parents told me to kill one of them. "

"Oh no...."

Cecilia loses her word to the word of Zwei.

It's okay to be faithful, but why don't you think that killing a newborn child is against God's will?

"Ain is strong, and I can tell them a lot, but I can't say anything because I feel like this.Ain's always here to help. "

Yeah, well, I guess that's the last time we talked about Cecilia.Indeed, he was used to helping.

Cecilia stood up and looked back at Zwei.

"Let's go say it!

Huh?

"Let's protest against those bullies!It's strange to be treated like that just because you're twins!

The pig rushed. Cecilia, who was about to run away, stood up in a hurry.

"Hey, wait a minute!

"It's okay, I remember your face!When it's time, we'll talk with our fists!

Cecilia Sylvie, the brain muscle lady.Instead of "shutting her up with a fist", it seems that "talking with a fist" is her.

Zwei rushed further into the majestic appearance.

"Yes, it's okay!

"If you're scared, you can hide!

"That's why it's okay!

"Don't hesitate!

"That's why it's okay!!"

Huh?

Cecilia learns that he is not reluctant to look at him desperately in the arms.Soon he lowered his raised fist and sat back on the bench reassuringly.And exhale deeply.

"Actually, I haven't been told that lately."

"What? Really?

"Yes. Somehow, a letter of protest came from the Duke of Sylvie to his parents."

"Heh. From Sylvie's house?

Cecilia rounded her eyes when her parents came out unexpectedly.

"Yes. Like, 'The Machias twins are my son's friends, so stop messing around'...?Looks like it was a letter like that.... I've never been friends with a Duke before. "

That said, Zwei smiled bitterly.There is some relief hidden in that face.

(Could Gil?

It would suffice if Gilbert had asked his parents to write to him after listening to Cecilia.It is true that he was quite overwhelmed at that time, and he seems to do this kind of thing without suffering.

"But, ma. As always, it's ignored.It looks like they're stabbing other kids, and nobody talks to them.He's my only friend. "

That's how he strokes here.I don't know if he brought it from home or if he found it at this college, but Koko often missed Zwei.

Cecilia stands in front of Zwei.

"Then why don't you be friends with me?

Huh?

"I don't think so. I wanted to be friends with Zwei!Oh, of course. Even Ain!

"Ain?

Yeah!

As Cecilia nodded firmly, Zwei lost his sight.I wonder if you're lost.Or are you alert?

She sits in front of Zwei.So I looked up at him from a little lower.

That's how I put out my right hand.

"Uh, please be friends with me."

"...... yeah"

A little lost, Zwei takes Cecilia's hand back.At that moment, Cecilia's face burst into a smile.

"Great! I was wondering what I would do if you refused!Good to see you again, Zwei!

"Yes, thank you."

Bewildered by his swinging arms, Zwei replied.

"Ah, it's good to have some respect!I'm glad you could talk to me more easily!

"Okay."

As Zwei nods, the big bell at the academy tells the time.Cecilia looked up at the sound of the bell and took a breath.

"Oh, goodbye! Lean called me after this!

Huh?

"Bye, Zwei!

"Ah, yeah. I'll see you later."

Cecilia took a step in the direction of the classroom that Lean would be waiting for, hearing his voice laughing stunnedly behind her back.

.. ◆◇◆

"Hah...."

Zwei exhales as she stares at Cecil as she leaves.In a blink of an eye, he broke his left braid with a comb.The split of the forehair is also corrected by hand to the right.

And he leaned back on the bench and put his feet together in an unpredictable manner.At the same time, Koko jumps off his lap.

"Hmm... you're feeling like a strange little boy."

The Ain disguised as Zwei... stared in the direction Cecil had left.
