Sitting in a tub of rocks and soaking my feet in a hot spring, I decided to cool my head off.

The cold wind is pleasant.

I think about what I just did.

There was a part of the story that I didn't really understand, but I'm pretty sure it was the perception that Emerald and Alicia rubbed around me.

I like Alicia, but am I wrong to say that I also want to get along with Emerald, who is a childhood friend...

I thought now that I'm same-sex, I'd be able to hang out with you with ease, and that's not going to happen, so the world is full of it.

'... Alicia, are you okay?

'... I'm sorry, Mr. Ikto. My attitude seems to have spoiled Mr. Emerald's mood.'

'You have nothing to apologize to me for. Nevertheless, why did Jade get so angry...?

It's unusual for emeralds to bump directly into aggressive language that far.

"I think I know how Mr. Hissui feels... because I say all I can to Mr. Ikto sweetly."

'I don't think so. Instead, I guess Alicia just helped me out...... should I say something to Emerald from me?

'Please don't do anything Mr. Ikto. She spoke directly to me despite where Mr. Ikto was. So I have to tell you the answer.'

'Okay. But if you're in trouble, you can count on me. I'm Alicia's lover...'

"Yes. Thank you very much, Mr. Ikto."

My body got a little cold, so I went back into the hot tub again. Then I wash my hair and take a bath.

There was no jade appearance in the stripper because of the time taken. I wipe my body up and wear underwear.

I found some yukata for the stripper cage and I decided to try it on. But I just tried to weave feathers and it's obviously a rash, not very much, but it's not something I can wear.

Give up and try to grab the yukata for the kid next door. Kingi's illustrations lined it up, and it was a cute design yukata that felt like it was for kids.

I got a little worried and put my sleeve through a yukata for the kids. I knew I wanted to spend some time in the hot springs in yukata. Besides, I can't be seen by anyone because I'm not leaving the room.

When I finished dressing and went back to the room, the jade sat in the back room with a cool look on his face. When I notice this one, I smile and get up.

In her yukata, she has an indescribable color, combined with the fact that she is unloading her hair.

"You look great in your yukata, Alice. She's cute."

"This was the only size I could fit, so I just have no choice but to wear it... honestly, it would help if you didn't touch the yukata too much"

"Oh, yeah, I'm sorry"

"Mr. Hissui."

"What's wrong, Alicia?

In the wake of Alicia's voice, my jade eyes were suddenly narrowed. Even though it doesn't change where you're looking at it, I feel my spine freeze when I get a completely different cold gaze from when I look at you.

"Mr Hissui's, I will answer your question just now"

"Let me hear it."

'I like Mr. Ikto. Ikto says he likes me, too. But my "Ah" and "Like" are different from normal people. "

Alicia continues her words.

'Mr. Hissui said earlier that I was not standing on the same mound. I think you're right. I can't walk with Mr. Ikto. Because kissing and hugging won't happen.'

Alicia's words, spoken lightly, were mixed with various emotions. Ever since I became Alicia's body, the dark emotions behind her have been hidden from me.

'I want Mr. Ikto to be happy. I do not want my presence to be burdensome when one day Mr. Ikto is found walking with me. If Mr. Ikto likes someone other than me, I'm going to be honest with him.'

Alicia's response was shocking to me. Physical contact does not materialize, but there is a bond between the two that they have cultivated over the past year. So I thought even this unusual romance would work. But it turns out that Alicia didn't think so.

"Alicia, are you sure that's all right?

'I think it's what it should be. Even so, I can't tell you how great it sounds because I'm just so sweet to Ikto's feelings...'

"How far are you... okay. If that's what Alicia's gonna do, I'm gonna do whatever she wants."

Emerald looked at me and smiled. Makes my back nervous when I feel something creepy about why in that gaze.

"It's time for dinner. Let's all enjoy our dinner, shall we?
