Um, but why are you here, Ms. Tacchia?
Why am I here? You were sprawled out asleep in the front yard of the place I moved to, so I brought you here.
You an I was sleeping?
Dont you rember what happened last night?
What happened last night
Yes, I dont rember the dream I had before, but I do recall so of yesterday.
I definitely rejected rilyns confession, then didnt know what to do, so I closed my eyes, and then I felt a soft touch on my lips
After that, I dont rember much. Maybe I blacked out from drinking?
If you dont rember, then its fine.
As I was trying to recall it, Tacchia moved away from my side.
Then, standing by the door of the room, she concluded the conversation with a blunt attitude and beckoned , saying,
If youre awake, co to the kitchen and eat. Ive prepared the food.
Ah, yes
Well, Ive already realized that Tacchia is that kind of person.
For now, lets eat the food she prepared and think. After tidying up the bedding and thinking, I imdiately followed her to the kitchen.
Though she moved, the layout of the house was no different from before.
Exiting the room and going left led to the workshop. In the middle stairs, there was a bathtub leading downwards, and further on, there was the kitchen where Tacchias prepared al was waiting.
The difference from then was that a familiar face was there to greet .
Good morning, Hyo-sung~
Ms. rilyn?
Ahem!
Why was rilyn in Tacchias ho?
As I was bewildered by this, a cough from the opposite side drew my attention, and I saw a red-haired woman sitting opposite rilyn with a blunt expression.
Hyo-sung, good morning.
Ms. Airi, too?
Unlike rilyn, who smiled at , Airi sat at the table with a polite attitude, waiting for to sit.
Though I was with rilyn until last night, I hadnt expected Airi to join us as well.
Could she have sensed sothing happening to through a prophecy and co here?
Co on, dont just stand there. Co and sit down~
Before I could ask about it, rilyn pulled my arm and led to the dining table.
After I unwittingly sat next to her, I noticed Airi, seated across from , staring intently at .
Hyo-sung, you seem quite comfortable sitting next to Ms. rilyn.
Huh?
I heard she was an acquaintance you t before. It seems youve gotten quite close in my absence.
Startled, my gaze shifted to the side.
There, rilyn sat beside , smiling broadly.
Despite Airis glaring, rilyn seed unconcerned, even indifferent, as she focused her attention on .
Ah, no, I an, thats
Oh, right~ Co to think of it, are you two a couple?
rilyn tilted her head, sensing my discomfort.
anwhile, her characteristic eye-smile widened slightly, revealing her amber-colored eyes towards Airi.
Certainly, if you were a couple, perhaps you wouldnt be so keen on having another woman sitting so close. You think the sa, right, Hyo-sung?
No, that Airi and I are not exactly like that
Oh my~ So youre not quite a couple yet?
Her voice was higher than usual, and her smile brightened even more.
While the relationship between Airi and was indeed ambiguous, Airis eyebrows rose as if displeased by my current statent.
Hehe, if youre not a couple, then theres no problem with sitting right next to Hyo-sung, right? Youre okay with that, arent you, Airi?
rilyn, seemingly indifferent, hooked her arm around mine.
Despite clearly noticing Airis feelings, her bright smile seed almost provocative.
No, it wasnt just seeming like a provocation; it was indeed one.
Sohow, unbeknownst to , she seed to have developed so sort of wariness against Airi.
Well, it doesnt really matter to .
Airi seed displeased by rilyns actions, but only for a mont.
Regaining her composure, Airi spoke to rilyn in a composed voice.
Its better to sit facing each other rather than side by side.
Along with this, a soft and gentle smile appeared on her lips.
Sensing sothing from this, I started to feel the grip of rilyns arm around mine gradually loosen.
Ms. rilyn?
Its nothing~
Hehe, rilyn chuckled, giving a sideways glance at Airi.
Airi also smiled slightly and tilted her head, but even so, the gazes of the two didnt seem to stray from each other.
Whats going on? Did they have a fight without my knowledge?
Could it be that they fought over , causing such a huge uproar that it could have destroyed an entire city, leaving an aftermath that lingers even now
Nah, surely not.
Briefly entertaining that thought, I soon brushed it off with an ambiguous laugh and proceeded to get ready for the al.
After all, that couldnt be it.
Airi was a fortune teller, and rilyn was a minstrel. Both were frail and uninvolved in fighting, so it was unlikely they would fight so fiercely over , right?
Yet, the lingering thought that it might be true probably stemd from the fantasies I had when I was still nave.
Even though Airi and I had beco close, our relationship wasnt confird, and there were many awkward aspects to it.
Hehe, Hyo-sung.
But was it because of that that I was too conscious of Airi?
I felt that rilyns behavior, which was always playful when facing , was particularly burdenso at this mont.
Co on, open up~ Ahh~
Um, Ms. rilyn. Hold on.
Oh dear, why are you saying that~? I fed you like this during dinner yesterday too~
Thats right, thats right. Since youre living together, its only natural to prepare als together~
Um, Ms. rilyn, please calm down
But despite being that close, youre saying youre not a couple?
Despite my attempts to calm her, rilyn stood up from her seat, continuing the conversation.
Her fists were clenched tightly, veins popping, yet her face was still adorned with a beaming smile.
That could be the case. After all, both Hyo-sung and I have missions that we must focus on right now
A mission, huh? Thats a convenient excuse for soone living off others.
E-excuse ?
Well, isnt it? If youre interested in soone, just go ahead and date them. But putting it off, saying its not the right ti, youre just setting up a scenario to change your mind later and move on to another man.
rilyns unexpected tirade crossed the line.
Yet, she continued without restraint, even more assertively, glaring at Airi with wide eyes.
And to say such things so brazenly in front of soone whos already caught.
