"I don't care if it's real or not. The only thing I know is you, Lily. That's why you're my friend, Lily.

　I was shocked when he told me that.
　At that time, I was ready to throw away everything, and with the intention of atoning for the crime of killing my friend, I turned against that man.
　But he rebuked me without hesitation and reached out to me without hesitation, rebuking me and offering his hand.
　You will be the first to know who I am and what I've done.
　You will be able to find out the best way to get the most out of this article.






Haha. ......

　After the party at the imperial castle was over, I was sitting in the guest room of the imperial castle, letting out a gloomy sigh.
　The reason for this is because of my blunder that I made at the party yesterday.

　To begin with, yesterday's party was simply a friendship party for Mina and Kyou to get to know each other as well as to get to know each other as before, and it seems too tactless to get involved in it.
　On the contrary, it seemed to have developed into an obscure row over Kyou in the middle of the party: .......

　It's funny.
　Not long ago, I wouldn't have been particularly concerned about what Kyou and Mina were doing, but I would have supported Mina's actions.
　It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what to expect.　Why do I care about that guy so much now?

　I opened the window and laid my head down on the windowsill, screaming into the clear sky.

　When did I really care about him so much?
　No, I know why, I really do.
　I tried to make him hate me so much, but he didn't just hate me, he didn't even reject me, he accepted me as one of his own.
　He said he fought that battle in the first place, not to defeat me, but to win me back!

　She knew I was Lily's imposter but she didn't change her attitude.
　I'd never heard anyone get that angry like that before.

　Just thinking about that time makes me feel strange, and at the same time, I can't forget what he said, and it's still haunting me.
　I found myself thinking only about her, and the image of her getting along with other girls made me foggy.

　Even if this is not .......

"Oh, I'm in love with her ......?

　As soon as I said that, I could see my face turn red.

Dah!　No, no, no, no, no!

　Attachi buzzed his arms, covering his face in a hurry!
　No, it's not!　No, there is no such thing!
　Because then I'm not that "choline" guy he was talking about before?

　I don't know what it means, but I know it sounds nasty: .......
　I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not, but it's a very strange thing to have no emotions after something like that: .......
　It's not ...... that this is not ...... a chore, right?

　Yes, that's right.
　Even if you were in love with him, it's for a good reason, and I would never consider choloine a dishonorable title: .......

It's not just a matter of time before you get your hands on it. It's not just a matter of time before you get a chance to go to work.

"Waaaaaaaaaah!

　Suddenly, someone hugs you from behind and unintentionally throws you toward the wall.
　The person who fell to the ground is now on the ground, and as he or she waddles up, you realize who he or she is.

"Well, well, well, well, you're a bit militant this morning, aren't you, Lily?

You don't have the right to be in someone's room, Amanes.

　Wiping the blood from her nose from the impact of hitting the wall, Amanes continued with something.

"Lily. I can imagine what is bothering you, but it's hard to find an answer if you're worried alone. So how about having a heart-to-heart talk with the culprit?

What do you mean, what does it matter?

"That's the point.

　Saying that Amanes took something out from behind him.
　It was a white dress and a straw hat to shelter from the summer sun.

"Take Kyou out on a date.

　Go to ............ .

"EEEEEEEEE?!

　My exclamations echoed out of the open window and into the blue sky again.






It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one.

　So I grabbed a letter that had fallen on the doorstep during the day and muttered to myself.
　Fortunately, I was planning to explore the city later, so it may be a good thing to say.
　After a quick walk through the city streets, you sit in a chair in the park where the meeting place is also located.

　Nevertheless, the security or atmosphere of this city is much brighter than before.
　When I was here before, the city had a strong military atmosphere, but now that kind of military security has faded away.

　If the goal of the imperial heroes was for the growth of the world, if they dared to prioritize skirmishes with other countries, then the atmosphere of that city is understandable, and now that this has been achieved, it is only natural to open up the atmosphere of the city to the citizens.
　The number of merchants on the streets has increased, attracting tourists, traveling entertainers, and various other talents.

　As the emperor himself said last night, it is necessary to evolve through art and culture, not through military force, and this is exactly what is happening.
　If it's becoming so much easier to live in, then maybe it's a good idea to come to this country frequently for a visit, and then suddenly a shadow falls in front of you.

...... Oh, yeah, that ...... Oh, I'm sorry I'm late, ......

　When I looked, there was a dainty girl in a white dress with a straw hat on.
　It was literally like a summer fairy, and the figure of the girl lying on her back with a shy smile on her face was dainty itself.
　That's why for a moment I couldn't tell who the girl was.

...... Huh?　Ri, lily?

"Yes, yes, ......, who else is out there? ......

　The girl in front of me, with her cheeks slightly tinted and her straw hat on deep, made me feel an unexpected gap.
　It is true that she usually has a strong image of victory, but considering her appearance, Lily is a dainty girl.
　I'm sure it's possible for her to look good dressed like this, but I didn't expect her to dress like this herself, so I was taken aback.

　The dress from yesterday, this dress from today, what?　What's going on?


　No, it looks good on you. It looks so good on you. You look so cute in it.
　As I was thinking in agony about this, Lily couldn't bear to stare too long, so she put on her straw hat again and took my hand.

I'm not going to sit there like that for much longer ......!　Let's go, come on!　Well, since you're in town, you have something you want to buy, so why don't you come with me to do the shopping. ......!

"Oh, oh, okay.

　I swallowed Lily's hurried suggestion to leave the place in a hurry, I grabbed her hand back and left the park.

　When I came to my senses, I noticed that our hands were now holding each other's, and when I noticed this, I felt embarrassed, even after all this time, but when I glanced to the side, I saw that Lily's face was so red and panicked that I couldn't be bothered to look at her, I thought about removing her hand, but for some reason, my The grip on Lily's hand was so tight that she wouldn't let go.

　Ummm, I think you're panicking because you're embarrassed. ......?
　You can't leave it like this?

　But for now, I held hands with Lily and headed to the main street where the peddlers were conducting their business.
