148 – Love Front (1)

After the meal, Reinhardt and Damian went out for sparring, and soon after, Swordsman and Ludwig also left. Even if it seems that children are not like that, when they are with adults, they become conscious of this and care about it, so it was a consideration in the sense that they should not worry about themselves and talk comfortably with each other.

It seems like Lizerote wants to talk to Alphonse, so it seems like he was conscious of this.

Of course, there were not only children who wanted to sit down and talk like Lizerote.

Alphonse, who was interested in the sparring between the two, tried to follow Damian with his eyes shining. For Alphonse, the superiority and inferiority of the two was an intolerable subject, and even if it wasn’t covered up now, he would be able to see a little bit of Reinhardt’s ability.

However, unfortunately, Alphonse had to remain in his seat.

“I didn’t expect to see you here.”

At dinner, it was Lizerote who looked at Alphonse but did not talk to him, but it was probably because he was conscious of the adults as Ludwig had thought, and when the adults all left the table, he spoke to Alphonse.

Now that Lizerote started talking to him, Alphonse, who was about to go outside, was naturally confined to his seat. Since the conversation started from the moment the child spoke, he couldn’t go outside unless he ignored it.

It was shown on his face that he would die because he was curious about the couple’s fight, but Alphonse, a polite child, decided to keep his manners instead of his own interest.

“Ah, hello…Lady Kromel.”

“Put, come to think of it, I didn’t even tell you the name. Lizerote. I’m Lizerote Cromel. You can call me Lize for short.”

“My name is Alphonse Krause. Hello, Rize.”

When Alphonse finished introducing himself, Lizerote nodded in greeting, then turned to the others who were still seated.

Even though many people have left, there are still people who remain here.

Hailey hadn’t finished eating the snacks for dessert yet, so she sat down, and Elena, who would normally have followed Damian out, didn’t leave because she still had questions about the two of them.

“Other people who are close friends of Brother can also call it comfortably.”

“Yes. Nice to meet you. Rize.”

When Elena answered with a slight smile, Lizerote, who saw this from the front, couldn’t take her eyes off her for a moment.

Then when she regained her senses, she seemed to be ashamed of it, but her face turned red and she pretended nothing had happened, but since she couldn’t make the fact that there had been such an action happen, Elena smiled lightly at the child’s cuteness.

‘It seems like it’s been a while since I’ve seen this.’

Lizerote probably wouldn’t know, but since this wasn’t the first time she’d met her, she laughed at Lizerote’s reaction the same way as before.

She doesn’t try to remember everything from the past, but Alphonse and Lizerote were meaningful children to her, so a meeting like this remained in her memory. In fact, it would be correct to remember it because it was part of the school days I spent with him.

Even then, like today, it seems that the two people who came to visit because of the sacred festival met because of Damian and Reinhardt… Unlike the previous meeting, it seems that Alphonse and Lizerote are not meeting for the first time this time.

Elena knew that Alphonse left the mansion not long after he came, so she knew that she hadn’t known Lizerote from the East before.

Since this fact hasn’t changed, it must be the same that Alphonse and Lizerote met for the first time today. It just happened in a place other than this mansion.

In fact, the timing of when the two met was not particularly important to Elena, but it was a certain familiar feeling felt in Lizerote’s gaze toward Alphonse that aroused her curiosity. Maybe that feeling was the cause of a different encounter than before.

Elena was insensitive to the feelings of others, but that is now a thing of the past.

It’s a story when I didn’t even know how dull it was. As I spent a long time in love and returning, I was more emotional than before. With that much experience, Elena now is not as dull at recognizing other people’s feelings as she was in her previous life.

More than anything, there was also a point that it was even easier to notice what I felt from that gaze now because it was something she often received. It was because the warmth that Damian felt when he met his eyes was similar to this.

Lizerote’s feelings for Alphonse. It was clearly a feeling of goodwill.

I don’t know if that feeling was a crush on the opposite sex or a human meaning, but it was clear that Lizerote was interested in Alphonse.

‘What happened to the first meeting?’

Alphonse and Lizerote had a good relationship in their previous life, but it was far from the current atmosphere, so I wonder if the earlier meeting did not serve as an opportunity.

Elena looked at the two with interest.

Changes that take place differently from her previous life always give her a new stimulus.

And among them, the thing that gets Elena’s attention the most is the relationship between people. Since one of the biggest purposes of her own regression was to restore a distorted relationship, she had enough reasons to be interested in this way.

Above all, Lizerote’s emotions were important.

Because favor is the starting point of the feeling of love, and the subject of love has always been a subject that raises expectations. Elena was also a woman, so she was interested in her feelings from before.

I had no experience with him, although I was interested in it because I was insensitive. It wasn’t now though.

“I was worried about how to meet again after we parted without a single statement, but I’m glad.”

“hahahaha. Me too. I was surprised that he suddenly disappeared like the wind. I was surprised that he didn’t even know his name until later.”

“Oh no, that’s…”

‘Wow!’

The atmosphere looks good, but I feel like I need to get out of my seat.

I didn’t intend to stay for a long time from the beginning, so it wouldn’t be bad to get up at the right time. As I was watching their conversation, thinking about when to go out, Haley, who was eating a cookie next to me, started talking to me.

“Do you two look good?”

“Yeah, that’s right. It’s nice to see.”

“When is a good time to leave?”

At Hayley’s words, Elena looked at the plate in front of Hayley. The cookies on the plate were completely emptied.

Haley was supposed to grab some before she ate them all, but apparently she ate them all. Elena, who checked the empty plate, stood up instead of answering, and Hailey followed Elena.

“Huh? Where are you two going?”

Alphonse asked the two of them as Elena and Hayley got up. I couldn’t say that I would leave the place alone, so I had to make an excuse, but the two already had a good excuse.

“Dear Damian. That’s not going to happen, but I’m worried because I’m not in front of my eyes. The two of you should finish talking here.”

At least to Alphonse, Elena’s words were credible.

In fact, even when she was in the South, she was Elena who always watched Damian’s sparring in case he got hurt, so she didn’t say anything wrong. While Elena was praising herself for covering herself well, Alphonse gave a different answer than she expected.

Hearing Elena’s words, Alphonse raised his hand as if he had waited and spoke to her.

“Oh, then I’ll go too!”

“uh?”

“I was curious too. Hyung-sama and Reinhardt-sama’s fight. Aren’t you curious about Rize? Of course, since the two of you are fighting, they’re going to keep each other’s hands, but it’s still a fight between the two of you!”

“…Ah, yes me too…”

“Then let’s go!”

As Alphonse said with a clear smile, Lizerote nodded her head coolly, as if being swept away by this.

When Lizerote agreed, Alphonse rose from his seat with an excited face.

It was not what Elena had in mind. Elena looked at Hayley with a puzzled face when things seemed to be going the opposite of what she expected, but unlike Elena, she was smiling as if nothing was wrong at all.

“Well then, shall we go?”

Rather, it was Hailey who took the lead as if she had been waiting for those words.

Elena was confused.
