Elsie is stubborn.

It seems like he is somewhat aware of that fact, but in reality, he probably isn’t even aware of it accurately.

For example, Elsie still hasn’t given up on Korean food.

Calculating our ages, it has already been 17 years since we came to this world, but Elsie has not yet given up the food she used to eat in her hometown.

Even though I had already adapted to the country’s food a while ago and think of its taste as the taste of my second home, Elsie still did not give up and often tried her own recipes, and was actually able to see some results.

Even after everyone who came as her teacher gave up on teaching and left, Elsie continued to practice her own swordsmanship. Regardless of whether it was effective as a swordsmanship or not, it was a swordsmanship that reached a ‘practical’ level thanks to Elsie’s great talent. .

And as we saw just a moment ago, the title for one’s brother is also the same.

That title probably came into my mouth a long time ago. When I didn’t know the name ‘Ora-bunni’, I saw my older brothers using the word ‘hyungnim’ and followed suit, so I’ve been using it ever since. And I’ve been stubborn about not changing that title. If you look at Elsie, you can see that she really has a stubborn personality.

But in the end, El Sirado also follows what I say.

I’m not just talking about the petty argument that happened this morning.

Elsie leaving her hometown and staying by my side as an escort,

And no matter what decision I make, you follow me without saying anything—

Because it’s all about doing my favor.

“… … Why are you looking at me like that?”

“No, just.”

When I stared at her, Elsie avoided my eyes for no reason.

Aside from being stubborn, Elsie was also quite shy. She couldn’t make eye contact with men and was quite reluctant to make physical contact. And this was even worse when the other person was a handsome man, such as the crown prince.

People who don’t know well often take it as an escort’s characteristic reticence, but in front of me, he is so honest and talkative.

… … That’s why I was a little worried.

As shy as you are, wouldn’t you be easily fooled by men? Wouldn’t you just be fooled by men who break your shyness?

The crown prince, the crown prince, and the magic tower lord are not people with such bad natures. If they weren’t, they wouldn’t be in the position of the male protagonist.

However, if Elsie goes overboard like that,

I wonder if those men will show the same favor they have shown me so far.

“So, what do you think about Harvey?”

“… … About your brother?”

“Yeah. So, I don’t know much about it, but I know how close I was with you personally, and things like that. Memories between the two of us. ”

When I asked that, Elsie looked at me with a little confusion.

Did it seem like I liked Harvey?

Well, it doesn’t really matter. It’s okay as long as the person making the mistake is not Harvey himself. I have no intention of marrying someone else yet.

Rather, I just wish Elsie would stay by my side a little longer.

And to do that, I’m sorry Elsie, but she needs someone who can be a barrier between her and the men.

In fact, my image of Harvey as a child did not remain that clear. He was handsome and played an important role in the original work, but he became overly quiet when he was in front of me, so there were almost no opportunities to talk to him personally.

I knew very well that it wasn’t because I had any bad feelings, it was just because I was shy, but the problem was that I couldn’t get the right information out.

Depending on how much Harvey cares for Elsie, whether or not he will be of help to me will be determined. So, I had to know how close the two were to some extent.

“Hmm… … .”

Although she looked a little reluctant, Elsie sincerely pondered my request.

“He cared for me since I was young. You won’t believe it, but I was the weakest in our family. I was also the smallest. When my father dropped me, I even had a big lump on my head.”

“… … .”

It wasn’t a story I could really relate to.

Isn’t it a big deal to drop a child from the level of an adult’s eyes? Besides, Delchi Castle is a completely stone castle. Wouldn’t it be strange if he didn’t die?

“When I first picked up the sword, I was worried that he might cut off my own head with it, and I ran out of the castle… … So, even when I tried to go out of the castle building, not the castle wall, he was scared and tried to carry me around.”

Although she had a very annoyed expression, Elsie’s voice sounded somewhat amused as she said those words.

Some of the stories Elsie told were stories I had already heard, and some were new.

Even though we had spent such a long time together, the memories Elsie had with her family when she was young were still overflowing.

This may be the reason why we can feel affection for each other.

“… … So, the incident that day ended with my brother receiving a sweet night from his mother… … .”

Elsie, who was grumbling to herself and telling stories about pranks she got on her brother and other mischievous things, belatedly realized that she was engrossed in a story and scratched her cheek with her index finger.

“But, why are you asking this?”

“That’s right, I need to know about those stories so that I can tell them in front of you without being blocked.”

“Wanting to see my scars with my brother?”

“Umm, well?”

When I said that on purpose, pretending to be worried, the corners of Elsie’s eyes immediately sharpened.

“What, are you trying to become friends with your brother?”

“So it’s nothing bad?”

“… … .”

When I look at the way he looks at me, it looks like he’s jealous.

Is he afraid that I might snatch his brother away?

Normally she’s so blunt, but at times like this, there’s no such thing as a soft girl.

“So, can you tell me a little more about the story? You can sleep in this room again today.”

“… … Good.”

Elsie nodded.

Seeing Elsie like that, I felt joy welling up from deep in my heart.

*

So I made that excuse again and let Elsie stay in my room.

It’s the next room anyway, and there’s a door leading from room to room.

Elsie would leave the door open if I wanted to.

Still, I wanted to have Elsie by my side.

… … Maybe this is because I know that no matter how hard I struggle, our separation is coming.

Even if Elsie marries my brother and I never leave Grattonmount, there will be very little time for us to be alone like this.

No one would suspect that girls of similar age would spend the night in the same room, but it would be very strange for two already married women to spend the night in the same room.

So, that is, just a little more.

In tomorrow’s life, I wanted to keep my irreplaceable understanding person by my side.

Elsie’s thin eyelids were covering her groovy eyes. Her face looked very peaceful as she exhaled softly.

So much so that I want to get a little closer and look at it.

If you find out that you feel this way toward a same-sex friend, what will your partner think? Will he or she find it disgusting?

I know that feeling like this is abnormal, but I couldn’t help it.

That was why we argued so hard to prevent Adele from riding behind Elsie.

And I was relieved when Elsie finally took a step back.

Because I can avoid losing my friends to someone else.

Maybe it’s my fault that Elsie’s network of connections isn’t that wide.

The fact that she was overly shy in front of men may have come about because she stayed by my side for such a long time. The reason Elsie, who was originally at the age when she would have already debuted in the social world at the prom, is still not good at following the rules may have been because she was next to me.

… … At the prom I attended, I danced only with girls, including myself.

“… … .”

I walked a little closer to Elsie.

Elsie must have fallen into a deep sleep and didn’t wake up.

So much so that you wouldn’t even know if someone came and stole your lips.

Thinking about that, I laughed to myself.

For an escort, she has a really innocent face. Maybe she’s even more innocent than me.

… … Well, the child inside seems to be much younger than me, so it’s natural.

Even as we continue to grow older, it may be natural that our minds do not grow any further, as the only place we stay is in our teenage bodies.

The thin pajamas were pulled by gravity, revealing Elsie’s body line as she lay on her side.

A body that impresses even the same woman.

The memory of me placing my hand on that slim waist is still vivid—

… … .

… … … … .

… … Let’s sleep.

It looks like you’re very tired after a long trip.
