"I'm sorry." I borrowed your shower. "

Cecilia said that an hour after Gilbert helped her.

She frowns apologetically as she wipes her wet hair.

Gilbert, sitting on the sofa, turned the page and said, "It's okay."

There was definitely nothing I could do about it.

"Ahahah..."

"Besides, it would have been even more serious if I had left it alone..."

“What's the big deal?” Cecilia twisted her neck, and he finally lifted his face from the book.

Cecilia, if it weren't like that, you would have stormed the public baths.

"Nah, that's right..."

"It's about Cecilia, so I'm going to come to the conclusion that 'let's bear with it', but at some point I'm going to come to thinking like 'If there's no one here, we can do something about it', and I'm going to say, 'Okay, let's go in after everyone has gone to sleep!'"Isn't that the conclusion?"

"...... I'm going to......"

Isn't that right?

Cecilia opened her eyes in surprise at the sharpness of being able to predict the future.Maybe he knows more about Cecilia than Cecilia herself.

"That's why it's better to avoid risks here."The other risk is whatever it is. "

"Another risk?"

Well, you don't have to think about Cecilia.

As usual, Gilbert sighed.At that moment, "Don't even know the person..." Cecilia rolled off his lips, but she didn't know what she was talking about, just twisted her neck slightly.

"Anyway, thank you." Thanks, Gil! "

Cecilia laughed with a relaxed look on her face.

Looking at his face, Gilbert opened his eyes for a moment and turned his gaze back to the book.Is it because of his mind that his ears overlooking the book are slightly red?Her forehead and concealed buttocks also seem to be slightly colored.

Without paying any particular attention to his appearance, Cecilia sat down next to him.

However, the distance is not the usual, it is a little far apart.There was a subtle distance between the two of them, even though their bodies usually sat perfectly together.

Gilbert stares at Cecilia for a moment at that distance.

"I'm really sorry, but it looks like you helped me out during the summer vacation."

"... well..."

"I wish I could thank you for something, but nothing comes to mind."

Thank you.

Probably didn't have a few seconds.

When he placed the book on the low table in front of the sofa, he spat words he had never heard in his usual voice.

Well then, can I hug you?

"...... Yes?"

Cecilia said that she didn't know what it meant, and she slightly distanced herself from Gilbert.

"Okay? No matter how many times I've told you to stop, you've been hugging me all over the place, so it won't matter this time, right?"

"No, that's..."

It doesn't matter... it doesn't matter.

The evidence is that cold sweat is seeping into the forehead that has just been washed away, and the temperature is also rising.I don't know because I don't see it, but my face must also be red.

"Besides, Cecilia, I haven't touched it much lately, so I'm lonely..."

"Eh!? Say-"

"I'm just kidding."

Gilbert bursts out laughing.

"But it was the fact that I was piercing my shoulders."Even today, you're obviously avoiding me and your highness. "

"Ahahah..."

All I can do is smile.

It's true that we've been avoiding Gilbert and Oscar lately.Cecilia was not unwittingly embarrassed and distanced, but deliberately from them.

I thought that I shouldn't do anything that I can't reply to the two people who give me favor.

It is the intention of Cecilia to be honest, sincere and honest.

He looks at Cecilia like he sees her younger sister, not her sister.

I'm telling you, nobody wants that.

Um...

I won't tell you, but your Highness misses me, and I'm not enough either.

"It's not enough..."

I told her it was all right, Cecilia, as usual.

Having said that, he lightly spread his hands.

So, is that okay?

"Um... go ahead?"

As usual...... Cecilia nodded tinyly, not being able to refuse.

At that moment, Gilbert's hand spins around Cecilia's back.

"--Oh!"

Slowly hugged. Cecilia blushed and stiffened her cheeks as she was drawn to her body in such a force that she could escape the frenzy.

Until now, Cecilia would have turned her hand on her back, but I couldn't do that.

Hey, hey, Gil.

What?

"Sure, I've been deliberately avoiding it lately!"We've been through this before!Hey, this is embarrassing already... "

Somehow I felt like I had lost, and there was a sign that Gilbert overhead was blowing out.

"I'm nervous."

No, that's right, isn't it?

Cecilia's nerves are not so blunt as to pretend to be normal, hugged by someone who knows she likes herself.

"Well, I'm glad you're conscious."

Cecilia bowed her face to his voice, which seemed a little joyful.

"That's right, Gil. I'm still tidying up my feelings..."

“It's okay, I'm not in a hurry.”

“I know you think I look like my brother in Cecilia, and I don't think that's going to happen in a few months.... and if you say that you haven't spoiled that feeling before, you're going to be lying. "

Gilbert finally leaves Cecilia there.

"I'm not going to pick any of them, or say any of them, or make any extra dialogues."However, even if my brother tells me that I can only see it, I don't resent it, so don't worry. "

I choose Gilbert because I don't want to break the relationship.

I felt like I had been told not to do such a thing.

"Leanne told me before.""I hate you for expensive calculations."

"Um......"

But after all, I'm a smart, cunning, purposeful person who doesn't choose the means.

That's clever.

It's called abdominal blackness, something like this.

Gilbert laughs in embarrassment at Cecilia, who describes everything in any way.

"My aim is to make Cecilia happy, after all."To do that, I don't care about other people's feelings, my feelings, Cecilia's feelings, etc. "

"I-I don't know how I feel either!?"

"Well, maybe it doesn't matter."... so make sure you're worried and come to a good conclusion.If you choose me over that, I won't make you regret it. "

”Something... I can afford it”

It's a bit unfortunate that you were so cool and excited, and that you were able to see everything you were thinking. And it was pathetic.

Well, it's in front of people you like, and you dress up, right?

Gil's shaking it out!

Even if you hide it now, right?

Cecilia pointed her lips as she scratched her neck with a spare face.However, that stunned face quickly disappeared from the front.Next, I came out with an unfortunate expression on my face.

Gil

Hmm?

"I'm sorry I can't return anything."

"It's okay, I've already got enough."

Cecilia was not sure whether she should thank or apologize for the gentle sound, and she could only nod "Yes".
