The afternoon after returning to the Mansion from a party at the Imperial Palace, I was stunned.

Philia stands in front of the entrance to the study and tries to find her.

What do you think, Solon? Do you look good?

"Um, would you say it's bad if you look good... Philia is a princess..."

Philia was dressed as a maid. Clarisse's usual outfit is a stylish waitress with a green base.

Filia puffs up her cheeks.

"I want you to say you're cute."

"Why, why are you wearing maid clothes...?"

I wanted to imitate Soron because he was dreading Alte in her maid's clothes.

"And I didn't do any derele..."

When I try to argue, Philia stares at me.

Well then, do you want me to de-redeem you?

"So, I'm not going to do any delay to my disciples..." Well, but the maid's clothes are cute.

"I think so,"

Ah, you said it was cute!

Filia says with a full smile, I smile and laugh.

That said, I don't think it's right to leave the princess in her maid's clothes no matter what.

Ask Clarisse to change into Philia's clothes sooner rather than later.

Thinking so, Philia said something outrageous.

I put on my maid's clothes, so why don't you do something like a maid?

"Oh, that's a lot to be afraid of..."

I'm going to serve you like Solon would be happy.

Philia says mischievously.

The way you say "service" is curious...... and then I deny that thought in my heart.

"I can't let the princess Philia do that."

"You don't have to worry about it." Besides, I'm a disciple of Solon. I don't think it's too bad to repay my master every day. "

"Philia-sama is a good disciple, so you don't have to take care of her like that." That Philia-sama is my disciple is the biggest reward for me. "

When I said that, Philia glistened and looked happy.

I thought you would agree with me, but it seems you didn't.

Philia is one step closer to me. The hem of the skirt of the maid's clothes swayed flutteringly.

If you do this, you'll only look like a cute girl maid.

And then Philia went around behind me.

I'll rub Solon's shoulder!

Huh!?

"I mean, Solon, you look tired."... it's also my fault, isn't it? "

Philia said the last word in a small voice.

I shook my head sideways in a hurry.

That's not true.

Is that so?

Philia touched my shoulder gently, questioning me.

The feel of the little hand was a little ticklish, but it was warm.

After a while of silence, Philia was serving me... rubbing her shoulders.

It's an unfamiliar touch, but it tells me that Philia thinks of me.

"Solon... it's me..."

When Philia said something, the study was knocked on. Both Filia and I were surprised and hardened, and the door opened the next moment.

"Oh, Solon-kun... something terrible happened..."

Sophia, in her friar's clothes, jumped in and froze when she saw us.

"Philia-sama... and Solon-kun..."

Well, there's nothing unpleasant about it!

"What were you doing dressing the princess as a maid...?"

When I swooped my neck to the side, Philia let out a pleasant voice from behind.

Ah, Sophia-san, did you imagine something strange?

"No, I'm not imagining anything!".... and..... "

Sophia contradicted Philia, but she cut her words as if she remembered the main point.

Sophia scratched her golden hair with her little fingers and stared at me anxiously with her jade eyes.

"Lydia, the daughter of the Duke of Talusa, is at the door."

I was so surprised I was about to roll out of my chair.

I know a girl named Lydia very well.

She was the daughter of an aristocrat in my house and a childhood friend of mine.
