hmm… … .

Something kept coming to mind about it being a moving plant, but when I thought about it, I didn’t think it was something to be that scared of.

It would be disgusting if several objects were tangled and rolling around, but right now, there is only one stem flowing leisurely.

If it had at least leaves, it wouldn’t have been so creepy.

“This is… … Is it okay to leave it in the guest room?”

“Of course.”

Amelia nodded vigorously in response to my question. It seems she never wanted to be brought into her room. I also didn’t want to be brought into my room… … .

Well, even if it was my room, it was now at the level of ‘there is such a thing’. Because I lived with Amelia in her room almost all the time unless I went out, even when I was changing clothes.

When I thought about it again, I was slowly moving my belongings to Amelia’s room. I didn’t ask anyone else to move them, but since I lived in the same room, I took the things I used from my room one by one and that’s how it happened. Now, everyone who works in this house knows about it. So, I take care of bringing all my washed clothes and my cleaned personal equipment to Amelia’s room.

… … .

I hope people won’t think we’re strange, right?

In other people’s eyes, we would look like good sisters who had been together since childhood. That was the way it should be.

That way, no one else will interfere with our time together.

I picked up the flower pot and placed it in a place that gets plenty of sunlight.

The stem, which was moving leisurely, tilted towards the window. Does it photosynthesize even though it has no leaves? I don’t know how it came to be.

When I put my finger to the tip of the stem, the plant leaned against the stem leisurely.

When growing stem plants that are not trees, you often put in a stick for the plant stem to climb on, and this is what comes to mind.

Looking at it this way, maybe it’s okay in its own way?

It would be scary to watch if it was wriggling around a lot or, as Isabelle described, if several entities were moving around together, but I’m really glad that’s not the case.

… … I guess I’ll put off using my abilities for a while. If it gets bigger for no reason and then becomes disgusting, that’s just a problem.

When I lifted my finger, the plant quickly fell from my fingertip.

“Then, shall we go practice?”

“Yes!”

Diane reacted immediately to what I said as I stood up.

Diane looked a little embarrassed as all eyes were focused on her.

“Why, why are you like that?”

“No, it’s no big deal.”

Amelia answered Diane’s question with a smile on her face.

It doesn’t seem like Diane clearly noticed the change in her attitude. The more she talked to us and the more we sparred, the more aggressive her attitude towards us became.

If Diane has those feelings for Adele like Amelia said… … Perhaps, it may be similar to how I worked hard on Amelia throughout her training.

The sight of Amelia drenched in sweat is like that in many ways.

This can be said to be a consensus.

Actually, we can’t talk about our feelings openly.

And in that sense, I felt a little sorry for Diane. Neither Adele nor Amelia could understand the feelings of the person they liked, but at least I was sharing body heat with Amelia every night.

Honestly, if you tell me now not to sleep in the same place as Amelia, I probably won’t be able to sleep easily. It’s already Amelia’s… … Because I was completely consumed by the shape. I already knew how to hold her more comfortably, what actions I made and what Amelia did in her sleep, and how I could rub my lips together.

Not long ago, I felt jealous of Diane and Adele, but now I even feel a little sad, and it’s really funny how human hearts are. Well, it’s more like the situation has changed rather than just the heart moving that way.

“Today, both of you, let’s relax a little and then go back. Or, you can just spend the night here.”

“Oh, I’m sorry. Anyway, in order to do that, I have to tell my father in advance.”

“Me too… … If you do something like that without saying anything, there will definitely be someone who says something.”

As Adele and Diane declined in turn, Amelia smiled and nodded.

“But think about it. We are friends. In the North, it is natural to provide a meal and a place to sleep to a friend who visits a little late.”

In summer, there is no big problem because the sun never sets, but in northern winter, the sun never rises.

So, if we say ‘late time’, it is not the time when the sun has barely reached the horizon, but the time after the sky has turned completely black.

In the middle of winter, that time is very long.

Literally for the safety of the guests, it is right to let them sleep overnight and send them off during the light hours.

It seemed like a slightly different story here.

“In that case, I will gratefully accept that invitation someday.”

“Oh, me too! I’ll definitely go to sleep by then!”

Amelia’s intentions were very clear to my eyes, but those two people didn’t know the truth.

Well, I too would like Diane and Adele to continue.

A ‘justice’ may also arise.

*

As always, I trained to the point where I was drenched in sweat.

Oh, of course, the story about the sweaty person wasn’t me. It was about Amelia, Adele, and Diane.

Amelia’s skills and stamina were gradually improving. Although she was still the first to get tired out of the three, the accuracy of her sword swing and the time she could endure were improving little by little.

Amelia herself does not show much enthusiasm for swordsmanship itself, as there is no reason to learn swordsmanship to that extent in the first place.

However, just as physical strength gradually improves if you exercise consistently, Amelia’s skills were gradually building up as well.

Still, it was fortunate that he would never become as good as me.

Adele and Diane were originally passionate about swordsmanship.

Adele seemed to think that swordsmanship was self-improvement as a member of the knightly family, and Diane seemed to be swinging her sword hard with the intention of fighting and winning against Adele.

Maybe it’s similar to my thoughts?

Do you want to one day hold Adele tightly and prevent her from running away?

… … It’s unfortunate, but I don’t think that will happen, but what can I do? I can only support her. Diane has her own charm, so I just hope that she can do something with that.

“Let’s stop here for today.”

At my words, Adele and Diane took a deep breath and lowered their swords.

Afterwards, I wash my body like I always do and dry my hair while chatting.

In fact, there was a device for drying hair in this mansion, but we did not bother to bring up the fact that there was a device.

Because it was fun to sit together and chat like this.

Even in my life where there was only Amelia until now, many things had been happening since these two people came in.

I enjoyed it so much.

Amelia seemed to be like that too.

Now, it has become meaningless to say whether he is a villain or a good character.

I just hope that time passes peacefully like this.

“Oh, by the way, how are you going to get back?”

Amelia suddenly said that as she lifted her teacup.

Last time I went back, I first sent someone from here to deliver a message to Diane’s mansion, and then sent a carriage from there to take Diane away.

Adele gave us a ride in our carriage.

I had been concerned that the atmosphere would be awkward in many ways if Adele and Diane rode alone in the carriage, but today they were having a proper conversation, so I didn’t think that would be necessary.

“… … By any chance, can Adele ride in the carriage with you when she goes home?”

Diane asked cautiously. Her eyes looked towards Adele for a moment. It may not have been just my imagination that there was a bit of worry in those eyes.

“Are you okay with that?”

Adele opened her eyes wide and looked at Diane.

“Of course, it is more economical to go to the league than to send someone from here to call someone from the mansion. Honestly, it is a waste of time, and in the end, it does not change the fact that we have to use Amelia’s person.”

“That’s right, but… … .”

In fact, if you had said to the mansion, ‘What time are you planning to return, please come pick me up?’, everything would have been resolved… … .

In the first place, Diane was targeting something completely different.

“If you two do that, I would be grateful.”

Amelia smiled slightly and spoke to the two people.

“I’m okay, but.”

Adele said, looking at Diane with a slightly suspicious expression.

“… … How are you doing Diane? Are you okay?”

“… … Of course.”

Diane’s face was filled with determination as she answered.
