Chapter 66: The Two who Realized
— Reus —
Of the monster group that was composed of close to thirty, there were only a few left when they finally ran away.
I wanted to exterminate them because it’s possible that they’d aim for another child if I let them get away, but Noir was here, so I should stop.
When I looked back while catching my breath, there was the figure of Noir looking at dumbfoundedly.
Although I told her to close her eyes, from when did she see ?
“Noir, you are not injured, right?” (Reus)
“Y-yeah… I’m fine.” (Noir)
Noir was sowhat cold, but as far as I could see, she didn’t have any injuries.
Seeing this child safe, made realize that I could finally protect soone.
I had been an escort at the request of the guild until now, but the escort subject was mostly protected either by Aniki or Nee-chan, so I went to the front and would be fine swinging my sword without worry.
For example, even if I was alone, I would concentrate solely on swinging the sword, while barely having any awareness of the subject as I was too absorbed in defeating the monsters.
Thus… this ti was the first ti that I protected soone.
She was soone that I needed to protect.
It was very difficult, but I was really happy that I could protect Noir without any problems.
This was the thing that Aniki always did… and this was the path that Aniki walked.
From the ti I wanted to line up next to Aniki, I’d been chasing him all the while. I continued training every day, and learned swordsmanship from Jii-chan, but Aniki’s back was still far away until this very day… and, for so reason, it looked hazy.
But now that I knew about the difficulties of protecting soone, and the joy of protecting them, I felt that I could clearly see that hazy back. The back that beca distant after knowing the difficulties, but I was glad that I could clearly see my aim.
I tried to approach Noir, since she was looking here without any indication to move, but she took a step back to avoid .
Yeah, it was understandable why she was avoiding .
Anyhow, I haven’t removed my transformation yet, and my whole body was bright red as a result of the wolves’ blood. Even Aniki or Nee-chan would probably hate to be approached.
“This is bad. You’re scared… right? I will not co any closer, but do not leave . There may still be so monsters left.” (Reus)
“N-no! You’re wrong! You aren’t… scary.” (Noir)
Even if she said so, I knew Noir was scared since her legs were trembling, and her ears were drooping.
A cursed child is a man who transforms to sothing that looks like a wolf, which also looks like a monster. I thought Noir’s reaction was normal, and that made think again about how mature Aniki was.
“Let’s leave this place before other monsters co. Co, follow .” (Reus)
“W-wait!” (Noir)
When I thought of why she would run while shouting, she grasped my hand regardless of it being wet with monster blood.
I imdiately tried to separate my hand from her, because she would get dirty with blood, but she tightly grasped with both hands while shivering, so I couldn’t shake her off.
“Hey, let go because there is blood on it.” (Reus)
I asked her to separate from , but she shook her head and didn’t try to let go of my hand.
We walked as we were because it couldn’t be helped, but since she was tightly holding it, there was no problem with our movent.
We didn’t talk to each other. We just kept on walking and finally returned to the place where I was before rolling down. In a normal situation, I would imdiately go back, but I could not, not in this situation, until I cald my fighting mood.
Although the wounds done by the monsters were healed because of the resilience of the transformation, I felt pain from nurous parts of my body since I was forcing it to move.
Then, I thought about seeing Aniki and Reese-ane soon, and Noir let go of my hands when she noticed that my appearance returned to normal. When I looked at Noir, she was smiling at while being surprised.
“Hmmm, the wolf Onii-chan was scary but… it was amazing, you were really cool!” (Noir)
I do not like that appearance so much. I could beco strong, but I would see nothing but enemies because of the stimulation, and to make matters worse, I didn’t want to be seen with scared eyes by those who I considered friends.
Noir was scared of , but… she felt relieved about being rescued, especially when she put that smile on her face.
Looking at that smile, I thought that I really could keep protecting Noir.
I want to inform my current feelings to Aniki and Nee-chan soon.
— Sirius —
“…You grew again, Reus.” (Sirius)
I nodded in satisfaction, while I was on a high ground away from Reus.
I sensed Reus and Noir were in danger, and when I readied the long distance shooting condition, Reus was already surrounded by the Dyna Wolves.
I wanted to support them imdiately, but I thought that it was a good opportunity to check Reus’ ambiguous goal, so I put my magic into an [Idling] state and viewed their situation.
Whether Reus wanted to beco strong in order to catch up to or so he could protect those who were important… this was probably the ti to make it clear.
Of course, if Noir wasn’t being protected, I would give them my support, but Reus did a transformation that rarely took place in public.
Whenever Reus transforms, he becos abnormally stimulated, and there was a high possibility of him not noticing Noir’s existence, but he kept fighting without being drunk by the impulses, and he protected Noir from the monsters.
I thought it was overprotective, but I’m glad that those two were alright.
Honestly, I was planning to thin out the Dyna Wolves beforehand, but we took so ti dealing with the other monsters. Hokuto and I also exterminated nearly fifty Dyna Wolves, but since this forest was close to the town, there was a possibility that they would attack the town when their numbers multiplied, so in addition to that fifty, we exterminated their nest.
That monster’s characteristic was to swarm endlessly. There were almost a hundred wolves waiting in the discovered next, but at the sa ti when we exterminated them, Reus already encountered the enemy.
Nevertheless, Reus really did grow up.
Although he said many tis that he yearned to be by my side, I thought that the impetus for him to beco stronger was to protect his sister, Emilia.
However, as Emilia beca stronger, she was no longer a target of protection, so his goal changed to being by my side. Of course, the feeling that he wanted to protect hadn’t changed, even now, but his sister and I were strong and we almost didn’t need his protection.
His battle style was mostly stepping forward and defeating the enemies, so he forgot the feeling of defending.
And without asking for anyone’s help, he would see the person he wanted to protect for the first ti, and he wouldn’t know what they thought unless they were asked. But I think that sothing had definitely changed. I will not know until I hear what he thinks.
I will see him with an innocent look later, and listened to his honest feeling after things have cald down.
…However, there were things need to be done before that.
“Five are running away… huh. Hokuto, I’m going to ride on your back.” (Sirius)
“Woof!” (Hokuto)
Since I’d been keeping track of the presence of the Dyna Wolves that were escaping, I figured out where I would go.
Hokuto stood behind after confirming their location, and I pointed my finger towards the Dyna Wolves that continued to escape while looking through my self-made telescope.
There were many obstacles in the forest. Furthermore, to aim for the wolves that were still running was a difficult technique, and the distance was already a few kiloters ahead…
“It’s regrettable, but they are still within range.” (Sirius)
It would be impossible in the previous life, but they were within the range for the current .
If you are running away, you should run more in a zigzag motion in order to avoid being aid at.
However, since it was impossible to snipe from a very long distance in this world, it would probably be unreasonable to be alerted.
I confird their figures that could be seen moving through the trees in an instant, and then, after calculating the moving distance of the enemies and the landing position of the bullet, I activated the long-range sniper magic, [Snipe].
In a mont… the head of the monster that I aid exploded, and since the remaining wolves had stopped moving to watch for an attack, they had beco easy targets.
It was pitiful to be killed without knowing, but this was the retribution for aiming at my disciples and their child.
I unconcernedly shot through the heads of the remaining monsters. I would use this asure later for other monsters.
“Disposal complete… Shall we return, Hokuto?”
“Woof!” (Hokuto)
Then, I got on Hokuto and returned to Emilia.
Thus, the large number of Dyna Wolves that inhabited in this forest was completely annihilated.
—
Since Reus was matching Noir’s walk, Hokuto and I made a great detour in order to avoid them and returned to Emilia.
Since we returned earlier, Emilia and Noel were vigorously rushing at us. I was surprised with that threatening look for a mont but that was a secret.
“Welco back, Sirius-sama! Are there any injuries?” (Emilia)
“Sirius-sama! How about Noir-chan’s and Reus-kun’s reactions!?” (Noel)
I sohow managed to calm them down. I told them that they were safe and heading back here, and then Reus and Noir showed up.
Noel and Dee imdiately ca out, but Noir hid behind Reus when she confird her parents’ figures. It would be difficult to face them after yelling and fleeing like that.
But, Noel was unconcerned about that. She ran to quickly embrace Noir…
“Noir-chan! Reus-kun! You’re safe… no, what on earth were you doing!?” (Noel)
“Aah… yeah, Noir and I are safe, Noel-nee. Anyway… look.” (Reus)
As one would expect, she stopped when she saw the condition of the bloodstained Reus. After Reus explained about the monsters’ blood stain, he put his hand on Noir’s head and urged her to co out.
Noir took off the mantle she wore and stood in front of Noel, but she was looking downward. Then, she raised her face and t Noel…
“…Okaa-san” (Noir)
“Noir-chan!” (Noel)
At that mont, Noir was tightly embraced. Regardless of her desperate condition, Noir was embraced while shedding tears.
“…I’m… sorry. Okaa-san.” (Noir)
“Yeah, I’m sorry, too.” (Noel)
“…Sorry for calling you stupid, Okaa-san.” (Noir)
“I don’t mind that. So, don’t go anywhere. If Noir-chan isn’t here, Okaa-san…” (Noel)
They kept embracing each other while shedding tears, but… the situation had changed a bit. To be specific, Noir seed to be suffering.
“Uhmm… Okaa-san? It hurts?” (Noir)
“You can’t! This is not because of , this is punishnt for troubling Sirius-sama!” (Noel)
“Nyaa! Help , Otou-san!” (Noir)
…It wasn’t my imagination that the impression of the reunion had started to move in a strange direction.
As she kept holding Noir under the pretense of punishnt, I thought of stopping her from being unreasonable, but Dee entered between them and caressed Noel’s head. Noel reluctantly released her daughter, and then, Noir hugged Dee to escaped from Noel.
It seed like an everyday occurrence, after looking at Dee’s familiar hands.
“Noir, you’re not hurt?” (Dee)
“Yeah. That’s because Onii-chan protected .” (Noir)
“Is that so? Reus, thank you.” (Dee)
“Haa!? That’s right! Reus-kun, thank you for helping Noir-chan.” (Noel)
“Hehe… I’m glad that I rescued her safely. too, thank you.” (Reus)
The two had strange expressions when Reus said thanks, but he imdiately realized that his body was covered with blood and when he tried to pick a towel, Reese stopped him.
“Aah, can you wait a bit for the towel and give it to ? Reus, let do that.” (Reese)
“I leave it to you, Reese-ane.” (Reus)
“Water… please. [Aqua Ring]” (Reese)
When Reese activated the spell, water started gathering around Reus and beca a big sphere covering his whole body.
This spell is Reese’s spell that reproduces an original idea of mine, it is a spell that covers an object with water that accelerates the healing process, treats wounds and removes stuck-on dirt. It is most suitable in this situation, since he is covered with blood.
The downside is that the whole body gets soaked and breathing is impossible. If she uses it without telling the other side, there is a possibility that they might drown if she uses it for a long ti, so she has to be careful. Actually, if Reese doesn’t include the healing part, she can uses it for attack, but she rarely uses this spell.
Since it is necessary to have a huge mana supply and fine control to use it, Reese is the only one who can do it, where the spirits can be seen.
“…Yes, you’ll be cleaned soon. Release.” (Reese)
And when Reese released her spell, Reus’ body was soaked, but the blood was completely removed.
Reus also looked satisfied after checking his body. He shook his body and scattered the water around him. Then, he received a towel and wiped himself down.
“Huu… that’s refreshing. Thank you, Reese-ane.” (Reus)
“The outer wounds have healed, but do you feel pain anywhere else?” (Reese)
“Hmm, there is a sowhat discomfort feeling on my left arm, and my whole body is a bit sore, I think?” (Reus)
“Where is it? Show it to .” (Sirius)
So people would try to hide their injuries, and they won’t talked about it until there was an after effect later. Since I taught them to inform any pain or discomforts, Reus frankly told and received a diagnosis.
I put my hand on Reus’ head and checked for any abnormalities on his whole body with [Scan], but… other than muscle damaged due to movent that exceeded his limits, I was relieved that there was no fatal injury.
“…Hmm, there shouldn’t be any problems if you don’t move too strenuously. After I invoke a regenerative process, there will be no pain tomorrow. For today, I forbid you from swinging your sword.” (Sirius)
“Got it. Hey, Aniki. Today, it was my first ti protecting soone I wanted to protect. It wasn’t because of Aniki’s instructions, but it was because of my resolve.” (Reus)
“Is that so? You did well, until you beca like this.” (Sirius)
‘Next ti, please be better so that you won’t be bathed with blood’… and that’s what I thought for a mont, but currently, I was pleased with Reus’ growth.
When I gently stroked his head, Reus seed to be embarrassed.
“Hehe… But, it was hard to protect those who cannot fight. I realized how amazing Aniki is again.” (Reus)
“You’re right. It is really difficult to protect. Well, did you feel sothing?” (Sirius)
““It wasn’t clear, but I feel I could see sothing. Looking at Noir’s smile, and being thanked by Noel-nee and Dee-nii… it made really happy. But, that is sothing that Aniki always does, and I only felt it once… that is what I thought.” (Reus)
I took my hand off Reus’ head, and he had a good smile while displaying teeth like a boy.
“My dream to catch up with Aniki still hasn’t changed, but I thought that I wanted to beco stronger to protect soone important. From here on, please take care of .” (Reus)
“It is difficult, you know? Unlike how you try to catch up with , it is difficult to protect soone, unless you beco many tis stronger than now.” (Sirius)
“That is my aspiration!” (Reus)
Was that the answer Reus got from this situation?
On the path of catching up with , the path of protecting soone had beco clear and it felt like a midway stopping point. It wasn’t a big change, but it was a fact that there was a definite change.
If there are many paths, there is also the possibility of being unable to decide, but the possibilities will expand with that alone. No, rather, you should be greedy. Rather than just having strength and standing by my side, it would be better to beco stronger and beco a spare hand to save people. You probably can do that much with your potential, and let continue to be your respectable goal worth pursuing.
“My first target is to defeat Lior-jiichan!” (Reus)
“Aah… yeah. Keep going for it until the end.” (Sirius)
He will keep progressing himself to beco stronger, and I think that it should be a fight at the end.
—
After calming Reus, who was boiling with determination, we discussed our future plans, but judging from Noir’s anxiety and Reus’ physical condition, we decided to go back to [Erina’s Dining Room] a bit earlier.
When we returned, Noir didn’t get on Hokuto. She was walking in the middle of Noel and Dee with their hands connected.
A scene where the parents and their child were holding their hands together and laughing with each other was a scene of happiness. The disciples were looking and smiling at such a scene.
“Noir, she looks happy.” (Emilia)
“Reus also did his best. That sight is happening because of your protection.” (Sirius)
“After all, the parents and child are good. I’m a bit… jealous.” (Emilia)
Since we didn’t have parents anymore, it was impossible to link hands with our parents like Noir. Although Reese has a father, she had no mother, so it was impossible for her to link hands together with her parents.
Reus seed purely happy, but Emilia and Reese were envying while smiling.
I didn’t understand their feelings, but it was good if our way of thinking changed a little bit.
“It may be impossible to be in Noir’s position, but it is possible to beco like Noel, you know?” (Sirius)
“”Eh!?”” (Emilia/Reese)
“I don’t mind if it’s a boy or girl, but if it is Emilia’s and Reese’s child, they will look cute either way.” (Sirius)
“Uhmm… Sirius-sama? Is that… could it be…” (Emilia)
“Err… the father is…” (Reese)
“Well… soday, I guess?” (Sirius)
When I looked over my shoulder, Emilia and Reese stood still with reddened faces, but I continued walking as if I didn’t see them.
When those two imdiately caught up, Emilia was overco with emotion, and held my left arm, while Reese was smiling as she quietly held the other arm.
We couldn’t be like Noel’s family right now, but it was good since they were happy.
While looking at Reus, who walked ahead, and Hokuto, who was at the rear, I was enjoying the warmth of the important existences I felt from both sides.
—
When we returned, what we saw was the scene of carnage in [Erina’s Dining Room].
The rumors of Donburi served at noon seed to have spread all over the town, and nearly twice as many custors were rushing in. Reus, who fought earlier, was forced to rest, while we made a charge to the dining room, which had turned into a ‘bloodbath’. By the way, Noel left to look after Noir.
Today, Noel’s brother and sisters were working, and when we participated, the number of people was too many, compared to the size of the store. After we ca back, the progress of the dining room beca smooth.
The business ended with no particular problems. Dee tried to pay his brother- and sister-in-laws when they were about to go ho, but they said they didn’t want it because he was family. They were a good family.
Since Dee didn’t feel good when he received their help without giving anything back, I gave them a souvenir of my new homade confection that I made during break-ti.
And, at present… Noir and I were sitting opposite of each other at a table inside the store.
Reus was sitting on her side, and since he said he won’t talk as much as possible, he sat while binding his mouth in a straight line.
This situation was created by Reus. He persuaded Noir back in the forest, and suggested to her to tell her real feelings to . Although, I understood to a certain extent when I heard from Reus, I would like to praise his nice assistance, because it was easier to correspond to the side who ntioned their real feelings.
Noel and Dee were looking secretly, but Noir didn’t seem to realize because they were diligently hiding.
Since we got back to the dining room, Noir had ti to be alone with Noel. It appeared that they were talking a lot during that ti, and I couldn’t feel the hostility that was shown in Noir’s eyes from before. However, she seed to be wondering about how to make the first move, and the silent ti continued awhile between us.
Still, Reus and I patiently waited, and the word that finally ca out from Noir’s mouth was…
“Err… Sirius…-sama?” (Noir)
“What is it?” (Sirius)
“I-I’m sorry.” (Noir)
It was an apology to .
I didn’t think that she did sothing that made demand an apology, but I won’t be able to understand if she didn’t clearly say it. It was because I should understand what that apology was for.
“Aah, I don’t mind it because I’m not angry at all. Anyway, can you tell why you are apologizing?” (Sirius)
“Uhmm… I said… that Sirius-sama’s dishes weren’t tasty even when I ate them. I also said… not to take my Otou-san and Okaa-san away, and I said nothing when I got so desserts…” (Noir)
“Haha, didn’t you say it was unpleasant and not delicious? But, what Noir said wasn’t a mistake, right?” (Sirius)
“There is no such thing! It was really… delicious.” (Noir)
“Thank you. However, what I want to say is, no matter how delicious the als or sweets that I make are, I can’t ever win against Dee.” (Sirius)
“Eh?” (Noir)
Yes… no matter how I struggle, I can’t win against Dee.
Noir probably didn’t think that I would say this. While she was looking at with a confused expression, I placed the dessert that I had prepared in front of Noir.
“Is this… a dessert?” (Noir)
“That’s right. Yes, I made this and it is called Mont Blanc. Let alone Noel and Dee, Reus also hasn’t tasted this yet. Here, eat it.” (Sirius)
To be precise, it was a dessert made with nuts similar to the taste of chestnuts, but since the taste and appearance were exactly the sa, it was nad Mont Blanc.
Reus unintentionally gulped his saliva, and… I could hear a small voice of Reese saying “So good.” from the other side of the door when Noir took a bite of the Mont Blanc. At that mont, Noir had glittering eyes while being surprised and finished eating it in no ti.
“How was it?” (Sirius)
“Yes! It was very delicious!” (Noir)
“Really? You’re saying it because you’re having it for the first ti.” (Sirius)
Noir looked down, seemingly embarrassed when I smiled at her, but she imdiately looked up and smiled at .
“I will teach Dee later, so you can have it soday. And then, it will beco the most delicious Mont Blanc.” (Sirius)
“Eh? This is also tasty, isn’t it?” (Noir)
“No, the Mont Blanc that Dee will make is the most delicious. He will make everything just for you.” (Sirius)
“Aah…” (Noir)
“Listen to , Noir. I think that Noel, Dee, and Noir are my lovable family. But, no matter how Noir likes , I can’t win against the love Noel and Dee have for you.” (Sirius)
After telling Reus to sit next to , and calling Noel and Dee, who were hiding, they sat on both sides of Noir and were looking at with earnest expressions. As I expected of Noel, she properly read the mood.
Noir was confused with the sudden developnt, but she beca calm when Noel gently stroked her head.
“Well, shall I ask Dee? Will you be able to win against , for Noir’s sake?” (Sirius)
“Yes, I’m sorry, but I will never give up on that. It is because I love Noir.” (Dee)
“No! I love Noir more! When it cos to Noir-chan, I will absolutely… not lose to Sirius-sama!” (Noel)
Tears began to erge in Noir’s eyes, as she watched her parents, who were pounding the table with their hands at .
Thus, the love of her parents was displayed before her, and finally Noir seed to realize her misunderstanding. Reus, who was next to , was smiling until his teeth were seen and he called for Noir.
“How about it, Noir? Was it like I said?” (Reus)
“Yeah! Thanks, Onii-… Reus-sama!” (Noir)
“Ouu!… Eh?” (Reus)
Reus tilted his head at the last word uttered by Noir, and I also had a similar feeling. What did she just call Reus, if I’m not mistaken?
Noel, who noticed our wondering looks, explained to us with a raised finger.
“Aah, Reus-kun. I discussed this with Noir-chan a little while ago, and she has decided to beco Reus’ attendant in the future.” (Noel)
“Eh? Not Aniki… but ?” (Reus)
“Yeah. Noir-chan is going to train herself to beco a good attendant, and she wants to beco stronger, so that she won’t lose to Reus-kun.” (Noel)
Reus’ movents had completely stopped.
Yeah, I could understand his feelings. He rescued her until he was bathed in blood, but to think that she would beco a bride, or sothing… was a totally unexpected matter. Was it because she was raised by her parents, who were attendants?
“Err, Noel-nee. Wasn’t the plan for Noir to beco Aniki’s attendant?” (Reus)
“Yes… I was really thinking that, but since Reus-kun is Sirius-sama’s attendant, it shouldn’t be a problem. Most importantly, Noir-chan is really motivated.” (Noel)
“Yeah! I will absolutely beco Reus-sama’s attendant! And then, I will cook delicious als!” (Noir)
“O-ouu!?” (Reus)
Hohou, she understood Reus’ personality well, that this fellow valued appetite more than appearance. It was a the correct choice to attack from there.
Noel continued explaining as she gently persuaded Reus, who was hanging his head with a confused look.
“Well, Reus. You don’t have to worry too much now. It is alright for Reus-kun to think about having Noir-chan as an attendant when you both have already grown up in the future.”
“I-is that so?” (Reus)
“Yes. I don’t know how many years it will be, and there is a chance that the feeling will change. It is fine if you rember it for a bit… alright?” (Noel)
“A-aniki… what should I do?” (Reus)
Reus asked for help, but since I showed an expression of ‘It is your problem, deal with it’, Reus gave up and nodded after a while.
…He was checkmated.
With this, as long as Noir didn’t changed her mind, it was decided that she would beco an attendant. It was unlikely for Reus to coldly deal with a child who yearned for her benefactor.
‘My condolences’… that was what I wanted to say, but since this could be an impetus for Reus to notice the opposite sex, I decided to cheer for him.
As a child, Noir’s feelings might not be anything more than longing, but there is enough possibility that her feelings will change into love. Depending on Reus’ situation in the future, she could also choose to get married.
When I was pondering about Reus’ future plans, Dee was glaring… No, he was watching Reus with his usual expression. He slowly extended his hand and asked for a handshake.
“… Reus.” (Dee)
“O-ouu! What is it, Dee-nii?” (Reus)
“Noir… take care of her.” (Dee)
“Yeah… but, Aniki? Sohow, I am scared. And, my hand hurts so much…” (Reus)
Even if the other side was Reus, who he treated as a younger brother, he seed reluctant when it ca to his daughter. It looked like there were amazing conflicts within Dee, the mouth was laughing, but he was probably annoyed since he put more strength into the handshake than necessary.
Incidentally, a few days before we left Elysion, Reese’s father, Cardeas and her sister, Lifell-hi, asked for a handshake and to take care of Reese. At that ti, Cardeas shook my hand as if he wanted to crush it, but I just gave up and let him do it. And, there were also tis when I was praised by Lifell-hi because of how well I did while dealing with her father.
What I want to say is that a father is a troubleso being in various ways.
“Dear, I understand your feelings, but didn’t I say that you don’t have to worry, since it’s Reus-kun?” (Noel)
“Aah, I thought that I would hand her over to so suspicious guy, but when it becos real…”
“Otou-san, please teach how to cook. I want to cook as delicious as Otou-san, and have Reus-sama eat it.” (Noir)
“…Alright.” (Dee)
Parental conflicts seed like dust in front of their beloved daughter. Dee was sohow able to digest a lot of things and he acknowledged it.
Thus, the matter about Noir and I passing each other had been solved, but since she looked away when our eyes t, there seed to be a long ti before we’ll be able to get along with each other.
But, we just have to compromise, since I have already co here. It won’t be long before I can enjoy being good friends with Noir.
—
I called Emilia and Reese, who were hiding and looking like Noel, and when everyone gathered, Noel was looking at with an excited face.
“By the way, Sirius-sama. The Mont Blanc that Noir ate earlier is…” (Noel)
“I knew it. Don’t worry, I have made enough for everyone. Emilia.” (Sirius)
“Yes! I’m here.” (Emilia)
Emilia imdiately brought it on a tray and distributed it for everyone on the table.
Although there was a piece for each person, I instructed to prepare two in front of Reus, and prepared another for Noir, who ate it earlier. Apart from Reus, Noir was growing up and there was no problem if she ate two.
“Aniki, there are two in front of , but… can I eat them?” (Reus)
“Yes, you did the best this ti. Do not hesitate to eat them because they are sothing like a reward.” (Sirius)
“Hehe… yay!” (Reus)
Noel and Reese were enviously looking at Reus, who was pleased, but they forget about it and was engrossed when they ate a mouthful of Mont Blanc.
“Its sweetness is slightly different compared to the shortcake and cheesecake, but it is really delicious.” (Reese)
“The desserts made by Aniki are the best after all!” (Reus)
“Haa… there is such desserts too, huh. It’s delicious…” (Noel)
“The way of using this nut… can probably be used for other cuisines.” (Dee)
“Si-sirius-sama! One more, can I have one more, please? This isn’t enough for !” (Noel)
“I only made this much. Be patient.” (Sirius)
Apparently, Mont Blanc seed to be Noel’s most favorite dessert. When I thought of giving mine to her, since she normally wanted more helpings with unprecedented vigor in the past, Noir scooped hers and gave it to Noel.
“Here you go, Okaa-san. I will give you so.” (Noir)
“N-noir-chan. Okaa-san’s tears are coming out because of your kindness.” (Noel)
I thought that it should be the other way around, but since it was a pleasant scene, I guessed this was alright. It could be said that Noel’s face was loosened to the extent of being the best, after being made to eat by her beloved daughter.
Noir started eating the rest while watching her mother’s face, and she was smiling at Noel.
“This is delicious, Okaa-san.” (Noir)
“Yes, it is delicious. Hey Noir, isn’t Sirius-sama also amazing?” (Noel)
“Yeah, Okaa-san was right. Sirius-sama… is amazing!” (Noir)
Listening to Noir’s words uttered from the bottom of the heart, I was satisfied because I was finally acknowledged by this girl.

Extra/Bonus 1
(Author: This was included in the beginning of the writing, but since it was likely to destroy the mood, this part was omitted. The place was thought when Emilia and Reese were enviously looking at Noel’s family, and after they were overco by emotion because of Sirius words.)
When I was walking while enjoying the warmth of Emilia and Reese, Reus, who was walking ahead, asked while watching Noir.
“Say Aniki, what do you think will happen to my child?” (Reus)
“What!? Did you want a child?” (Sirius)
“I didn’t an that in particular, but I think it would be fine if my child could hold a sword or learn magic. Aah, it has been decided that the child will beco Aniki’s attendant, of course.” (Reus)
“…That is up to you. You don’t have any partner in the first place, anyway. Do you know how to have a child?” (Sirius)
“Eh? Of course, I rember. If you do a special move on the bed… Ouch!?” (Reus)
