“Ah, you mean the day Lulu drank so much wine that she became a dog?”

At Ion’s words, Lulu’s father, Sir Kino, glares at Lulu.

“What was it that you avoided answering back then?”

“Ahaha, back then. What did you say?”

Ion smiled and took a sip of his drink.

“Why do you call me junior? Was it something like that?”

“You didn’t even answer questions like whether or not you were interested in me.”

Now that I can talk, it’s time to ask questions.

“A little… Well, that’s what it felt like. I was interested in you, and like I said before… (Ion’s face blushed a little) Okay, I liked you, so I wanted a nickname of my own. ”

Her father, Lord Shizu, burst into laughter at her shy confession.

“My daughter was this cute too.”

“She’s better than someone else’s daughter.”

Despite Marquis Lucio’s complaints, Lulu gets angry and asserts herself.

“What, what are you talking about? She originally didn’t want to go see Ain on the entrance ceremony day. If I hadn’t dragged her, she would have just been exercising or something.”

“Oh, that’s the only praiseworthy thing you’ve done lately.”

At the Marquis’s words, Lulu proudly sticks out her voluptuous chest.

“Lulu, the Marquis’s words were not a compliment.”

“…I’m so glad my son-in-law is so perceptive.”

“What? Didn’t I do well?”

“Well done.”

At Lulu’s reaction, Marquis Lucio looked at her daughter with cold eyes and spoke to me.

“No returns, son-in-law.”

“Return? I won’t give it to you even if you recall it.”

“Hahaha, that’s right!”

Fortunately, my answer seemed to please Marquis Lucio, who laughed heartily and downed his wine in one gulp.

“The wine is really good today! Duke Icarus, bring me more!”

“Of course.”

As I looked at the two of them, I realized that they were definitely Ion and Lulu’s mothers and I laughed.

“This is in front of my son-in-law.”

“I feel good because I’m in front of my son-in-law. Son-in-law, do you not like drinking?”

When Marquis Lucio asked me, who had a puzzled expression on his face as Kino tried to dissuade her, I smiled and shook my head.

“I’m not good at it, but I like it.”

“Then! Well, the glass is empty.”

I couldn’t refuse when Marquis Anastasia, who ruled the empire with the Moratium family, got up herself (shamefully) and poured me some wine instead of having her maid do it.

“Duke Knight Sustained said he was going on Thursday, right? Then you should sleep in today and go! I guess I owe Duke Icarus a favor after a long time!”

“That’s fine.”

Duke Icarus smiled and nodded as if it was natural for Marquis Luciola to tease him.

As the atmosphere ripens, Marquis Lucio, slightly drunk, mutters.

“The daughter said~ She was good at magic since she was little~ So she got really~~ Huh? arrogant~ She looked down on the males and was just~”

“You’re drunk, you. Come on up.”

At Marquis Lucio’s drunkenness, Sir Kino forced himself to smile while sweating coldly.

“It’s been a while since Lee-i drank so well, so it looks like he drank too much, son-in-law. Lulu, don’t take your mother’s words to heart. Okay? Dad is always on your side. ”

“Hey! You said that~ You’re always nagging at the males because you’re carrying a baby~ Huh! If you weren’t my son-in-law, hey, son-in-law! Let me hug you once! Thank you so much! Hey! ”

When the Marquis Luciolas got really drunk, he started rambling in his thick southern accent, and I quickly gave him a hug and helped him to the VIP room together with Sir Kino.

“My son-in-law is really~ trustworthy… Lulu, you know… She’s a good kid, but I’m not saying she always makes me worry… Zzz…”

“It seems the Marquis cherishes Lulu a lot.”

As I speak to Sir Kino, supporting Marquis Luciola, who is now completely asleep, he laughs.

“Lee loves Lulu, but he treats her harshly. It’s for Lulu’s sake, but after scolding her badly, he always comes to me and regrets it.”

“Lulu has good parents, huh?”

“Haha, what my son-in-law said is so pretty. Next time, if I have a chance, I’ll meet Lulu’s other moms too. They’re all curious.”

“I will definitely come and see you on time.”

After dropping Marquis Lucio off in the magnificent bedroom, I said goodbye to Sir Kino, who was sitting next to me to look after his wife, and then went back down alone.

“What about Mom?”

“You’re asleep. Lord Kino is watching.”

“I hate to say this, but my mom really can’t hold her liquor.”

Although Lulu said that, I think that Marquis Luciolas and Lulu are the same.

The reason she’s okay now is because she refrained from drinking wine to keep an eye on Marquis Luciola.

“Then let’s drink it properly.”

As soon as her parents disappear from sight, Lulu begins to sip her wine without hesitation, and Ion giggles.

“That’s right.”

“Let’s get up first too. Ion will show you around the mansion, so take it easy and we’ll leave around lunchtime tomorrow.”

“Thank you for your consideration, mother-in-law.”

Duke Icarus and Lord Shizu say so and get up from their seats, and I follow them and bow my head.

After those two people left the hall, only the three of us were left.

“Half done, half left.”

“Nothing special, right? I wouldn’t turn down Night Sustain, Gold Bunny, or Iron Foxtrot either.”

“If you think it’s that easy, things will definitely go wrong.”

Even though I answered like that, Lulu snorted as if it was not true at all.

“What the Moratiums and Anastasias have allowed, and the other families are against it? That can’t be happening.”

“Well, this time I agree with Lulu. But not for that reason.”

Ion takes a bite of the sausage and continues speaking.

“If you just look at Ain’s appearance, I’d probably allow it.”

“…That’s true too.”

I’m not sure, but since they both think the same thing, I think it could be possible.

“But I still don’t know. Regardless of whether he’s handsome or ugly, he just looks like a kid to me.”

As I say this, I look at the mirror on the wall in the hallway that is several times taller than me and look around at my face, but my impression is still strong that it is ‘just a baby animal’.

This is probably because the aesthetic standards and appearance itself are different in the first place.

“If you don’t know, you don’t have to understand. Just be aware that your appearance can make even the empress feel uncomfortable.”

I nod my head faintly at Lulu’s words.

“If Lulu is like that, then that must be it.”

“Do you really believe what people say so easily?”

Lulu looks dumbfounded, but I look at my sharp, rounded fangs in the mirror and answer simply.

“I don’t believe what other people say, I believe what you say. If a man doesn’t believe a woman’s words, who will?”

It was something I had thought about all the time, so I said it without thinking much, but Lulu was holding a glass of wine and her face turned red, similar to the color of the wine.

“That… go, go, go… Thank you…”

“…? Why is it like this?”

I looked at Ion, who didn’t understand English, and Ion also had an inexplicably moved expression on his face.

“It’s every female’s dream to have a male mate send her unconditional love and trust. Ah, you just showed us that.”

I laughed a little at the sight of Ion being so moved that it seemed as if he had heard those words himself.

“I trust all my females. Just like you trust me.”

As he said that, he held Ion and Lulu’s hands, and the two of them just opened their mouths like goldfish and said nothing. I laughed because that sight was so cute.

“You’re both cute.”

“Haa, don’t tease me.”

Lulu answered with a pout, but she didn’t let go of the hand I was holding. Instead, she held on tightly and poured the wine while trying to keep it from running away.

“Can you drink it like that?”

“It’s still a mess.”

“No, your tongue is already loose.”

He responded to my words with a non-threatening authority, saying, “Hey, the female wants to drink some wine,” and he still held my hand and drank the wine.

By the way, Ion is not letting go of my hand either.

“If you hold on to this much, wouldn’t they usually let go?”

“Why, I’m fine?”

At my words, Ion chuckled and played with my hand. Lulu didn’t even pretend to hear.

“Okay, do whatever you want. Touch it or whatever.”

When I gave up and declared, Ion smiled and asked for more.

“Really? Then can I touch your face?”

“Okay.”

The moment I thought, “What’s the big deal about touching your face?” Ion started gently stroking your face with his white hands.

“Wow, Lulu. Ain’s hair is no joke.”

“Oh…”

Ion begins to touch his left face, and Lulu begins to touch her right face.

It stayed quiet because it didn’t feel bad to be stroked.

“Haha, the mustache is cute too.”

“None of the teeth are sharp. Males are usually like this.”

She giggled as Ion touched his mustache, making him flinch in ticklishness. Lulu lifted my upper lip to look at my teeth.

After a while of touching my face, eating more, and drinking more wine, we finally finished eating because Lulu was as drunk as the Marquis of Lucio.

“Hoo-heehee, I’m completely fine now…”

“Yeah yeah, it’s absolutely perfect Lulumon.”

“What is that?”

Lulu was struggling, and Ion was supporting her. I had also had quite a bit of wine, so supporting her wasn’t easy. Ion was fine.

“Oh my, I drank too much and now I feel tired.”

“Take a rest.”

“That’s right. I should lay Lulu down and sleep with her.”

“Yeah, let’s sleep… What? You’re sleeping together?”

Ion nods, saying, “Okay, okay,” and looks at me in a hurry. (Lulu is already asleep.)

“We’ll be going to the academy anyways and taking turns staying together, so it doesn’t matter. This isn’t an academy.”

“Yeah, that’s true.”

As Ion opened the door to the place he had arrived at while saying that, Lulu’s room, which looked more like a magic laboratory than someone’s room, was revealed.

“It’s amazing that you have a separate room for Lulu in your house. Luckily, the bed is big. Do you want to sleep too, Ion?”

He throws Lulu roughly on the bed and rolls her over to lay her on one side of the bed so that he can sleep too, and asks.

“Um, uh…”

“Okay, let’s go to sleep.”

I thought that Ion must have answered that way because I was a little drunk, so I dragged Ion along and squirmed in the middle of the bed.

“It’s warm… Come closer, Ion.”

I held Lulu, who was roughly crumpled and asleep, tightly against my left body, and pulled Ion’s head close to my right.

Ion is a furry dragon, so it’s warm when you get close to him, so let’s put a very soft, luxurious blanket over Ion and he becomes the most comfortable person in the world.

“That, that.”

“Yeah, sleep well too.”

I held the arms of the female lying on either side of me tightly and fell asleep in an instant…
