87. At the gymnasium (8)

“… Can I hear it again?”

Shione’s expression had hardened before she knew it.

It was cold.

It wasn’t just her expression.

The same was true of Shione’s tone towards her older sister.

For speaking to her sister, her respected knight, her reaction was infinitely callous.

‘Yes… ….’

In a way, Shione’s reaction was natural.

Doesn’t she suddenly come over to her exclusive attendant and whisper a whisper into her ear?

After that, don’t you want to borrow it again?

At dawn, when everyone is asleep.

Whoever it is, isn’t it bound to lead to misunderstandings?

Siabel’s hand that was on her shoulder dropped.

She passed me and slowly approached Shione, and I glanced back to see Siabelle’s profile.

‘…… ?’

Sia Belle was smiling warmly at her brother’s cold reaction.

Slowly.

After Sia Belle brushed her own bangs to the side of her, she started stroking Shione’s hair.

A wary gaze and a mischievously bright gaze intersect.

Siabelle was the first to speak in this quiet situation.

“As you can see, there are a lot of bright ears here.”

Sia Bell slowly surveyed her audience.

There were not a few people who gathered in the match between me and her, which had been going on for quite a long time.

Soldiers who were training under the instruction of the instructor. Many of them were watching us.

The knights who were facing each other with their swords were also looking at me with curious eyes, and furthermore, at the two young ladies with a strange atmosphere.

“I think it would be better to move to a separate place and talk.”

As Siabelle said, there is nothing good about talking about renting me at dawn or something here.

Shione nodded her head with a confused expression.

And me too.

“Ray. I want you to follow me too.”

“… ….”

“Since it’s your story, shouldn’t you listen to it for yourself?”

I chased after the sister who was walking in the lead.

Siabelle came to a room where no one except me and Sione entered the room.

Sia Belle sat at the table where Shione and I usually shared tea and refreshments.

Naturally, Shione sat across from her, and I just stood a little further away and watched them.

“… I will serve the car.”

Rather than just watching in this atmosphere, I thought it would be better to serve tea.

I have new tea cups and tea for Siabelle to use. Then I took some refreshments and went back to my room.

While I was out for a while, I thought we were having a conversation.

The two of them didn’t even talk about anything until I came back, and only a deep silence lingered in the room.

“I brought refreshments and tea. Eat it.”

Dalgrak. Dalgrak.

Shione placed a plate of her favorite cookies on the table.

Then, Shione, who had her hands neatly placed on my lap, reached out and picked up a piece of cookie.

“… ….”

Scramble.

… Yes, I heard you wanted a cookie so much. I can’t help it.

In order to drink tea together, I poured tea into Sione’s cup first and then filled Siabelle’s cup.

“Thank you.”

Unlike my boss, who was busy eating cookies, Siabelle thanked me with a grin.

I bowed my head and took a step back to look at them again.

Although it was normal for Shione to smile like he was happy every time he ate a sweet cookie.

Now, Sione looked at Siabelle with an expressionless expression, probably not liking what Siabelle had just heard at the gymnasium.

“Oh, does it smell different from the tea Bronte brings every day?”

The name of my friend, Brontë, after a long time.

“The car Bronte brought was for use. This is much better.”

It seems he needs to work harder.

While Siabelle was enjoying tea for a while, Sione spoke first.

“… Sister.”

“Hmm?”

“I want to borrow a lei at dawn. May I ask you a question?”

“Literally. Didn’t you say that because you can’t see business unless it’s early morning or late at night?”

“…You’re a bit mischievous.”

She put down the teacup with a slight smile at Shirin Shione’s tone.

Then, Siabel sensed my sister’s emotions through her cold eyes, and saw through her thoughts with calmly open eyes.

“Are you kidding me?”

Leaving behind Shione’s composure, which was further crumbling.

Siabelle swept my bangs to the side and continued.

“Since we intend to share swords, there is nothing we can do about it.”

Shione’s expression subtly distorted at Siabelle’s words.

“If it’s a sword, it’s better today… Didn’t you also say it was early morning?”

“No, not that kind of sword.”

Sia Belle crossed her arms reluctantly.

“I want to see the sword that Rei showed at her princess’s coming-of-age ceremony.”

After saying that, Sia Bell turned her gaze back to me, and Sione naturally looked at me as well.

Siabelle’s eyes and Shione’s attention were all focused on me.

“Mine attacks are not light. I know them better than anyone, having gone sword to sword with them.”

Siabel laughed bitterly.

It seemed that he was thinking about the battle with the demons he had encountered with Dioria the other day.

At that time, Siabelle came back with one of her arms turned into a rag, just like me when I caught Arachne.

She said, “But I heard that she cut down two mines by herself…” Surely she knows how to use mana and how to fight? That too—”

“… ….”

“At the highest level.”

… How the hell are you going to annoy me even more?

As if she wasn’t satisfied with today’s sparring, she looked at me with her eyes shining.

The longer I spend eye contact with her, the deeper the smile on her lips grows.

In the end, Sia Bell, who created a bright smile in her cold impression, said to her brother.

“So I want to have sparring again in the way of his and her knights. Unless it’s late at night and early in the morning. It seems too conspicuous.”

“… Even so, it seems difficult to listen to her sister’s request.”

“Whoa.”

At those words, Shione drank the teacup in front of her without any formality.

“At dawn, when the sun didn’t rise, right? To think we would share swords at such a time.”

“That’s-“

“Furthermore, to be in a dangerous situation… Ray is not a knight who trains his sword every day.”

After saying that, Shione took a deep breath.

“And… I can’t because I’m worried.”

From noble mtl dot com

“What do you mean?”

“If Ray appears in front of me with an injury—”

Shione, who was talking softly without interruption, bit her mouth for a moment.

As she hesitated and couldn’t follow her words, her and Siabel’s urging gazes turned to her.

In the end, Shione continued her words in a voice that crawled in embarrassment.

“… It seems very sad.”

Watching Shione say that, Sia Bell smiled and nodded her head.

“You seem to have cared for your attendant more than I thought.”

Shione glanced at me.

Perhaps her embarrassment hasn’t gone away yet, her cheeks are still a little flushed.

“My person… Because….”

After Shione said that, even her ears turned red.

“Ummm… ….”

I can’t help but stay still.

Her master again moved her hand towards the cookie.

Yum.

Shione put one of her cookies in her mouth and quickly munched her mouth.

She looked down at the teacup, perhaps feeling choked up, but was taken aback by the empty cup.

What the hell are you doing alone?

I sighed and poured tea into Shione and Siabelle’s cups again.

As Shione started drinking her tea, Sia Belle smiled and said to me.

“As expected, no matter how you look at it… It seems that our Sione has been very well possessed by you.”

“Eup… !”

Sione, who was drinking her tea, reacted to Sia Belle’s words.

Make sure she doesn’t spout the tea that’s full in her mouth. She was trying desperately.

Gulp.

Fortunately, Shione, who avoided spitting tea at the older sister in front of me, let out a sigh of relief.

The story was briefly summarized with Shione’s small body gag at the end.

“I think I made an unreasonable request ahead of expectations.”

Sia Bell answered her words of wanting to share a sword with me at dawn.

No matter how much it is.

Even if I thought about it, it didn’t seem like they were using mana from dawn to sharpening their swords.

Fortunately, Siabel seemed to realize what she had said, albeit late.

After that, we talked about what had happened until the refreshments and tea dwindled.

Siabelle talked about what had happened in the territory, and Sione about what happened in the royal castle.

Of course, the main story was the story of Sione, who lived a high-density life.

After talking like that for a while.

Drruck.

Siabelle stood up.

“Are you leaving now?”

“We should have talked enough. I’ve been busy lately, so I’d like to talk to Dioria.”

After that, Shione and I came out of the room to see Siabelle off.

After exchanging casual greetings, Shione entered the room first.

Within her, I also followed her at that moment.

“Oh, Ray.”

Siabelle called my name.

“I have something to tell you. She almost forgot about her.”

“You mean something?”

“Yes. A letter arrived from Arya two days ago and I read it. It had your name on it.”

“Yes… ?”

Why the hell is my name written in Arya’s letter?

As she tilts her head in wonder, Sia Belle slowly begins to recite what Arya wrote on her stationery.

“Since I will be visiting Cianella’s estate soon, I said that I would like to talk to you once more if possible….”

“… ….”

“When the aria comes, I will sing it once.”

The relationship that started at the royal castle continued, and another annoying thing happened.
