"............ Um.
"............mm

　In the living room, on the usual sofa. 　
　Allen and Charlotte were sitting side by side as usual.
　But they were not drinking tea or chatting. They were just frozen in place.

　They tried to say something, but couldn't come up with the right words and fell silent. You can't even look at the other person's face. As a result of this, the meaningless exchanges described above continued in vain.

　In the torturous silence... 　

"Cut, cut, cut!

　A boisterous voice echoed.
　Of course, it's Dorothea who comes barging in with her footsteps echoing. Dorothea, of course, barges in with her footsteps.

I told her to flirt with me!　I told you to flirt, and you just shut up!　You can talk more frankly with men and women you've never met before!
I'm sorry to hear that, but ......
Yes, .......

　The two of them can only look at each other awkwardly.
　Nearby, in the sun, Lu is taking a nap on her favorite blanket. She glanced at him once in annoyance, but quickly closed her eyes and went back to her dream. Allen was truly envious.

　Dorothea folded her arms and groaned.

It would be better if you just did what you always do. I'm not asking you to kiss me in front of me.
"Ch-ch-choo ......?

　Charlotte froze stiffly.
　Allen was also blatantly damaged by the word, but managed to keep his sanity.

"No, Dorothea. I think you're making a big mistake. ......

　He raised his hand cautiously, and then trailed off.

We're not ...... on the same page, but we're ...... not on the same page.
"What?

　Dorothea frowned blatantly.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm not sure what to make of that. I'm sure you've heard of it.
I don't care.
"I hope you don't mind. It's our terminology. It's delicious.

　Dorothea scribbles something in her notepad with a smile.
　Dorothea was smiling as she wrote something in her notepad.
　When Charlotte saw her, she tilted her head. 　

"Dorothea, are you really a novelist at ......?
"Yes, I am. "Yes, I am, and I used to be a very successful one.

　Dorothea answered proudly.
　Allen suddenly remembered and stroked his chin.

I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that there were a lot of books of fiction left behind by the previous inhabitants .......
"That's probably the book I wrote. It was a lot of fun back then.

　Dorothea's eyes narrowed and she looked off into the distance.

　I was so impressed by human literature that I came out of the Elven village by myself.
　Her first manuscript caught the attention of a publisher, and her debut novel was published.
　Since then, he has produced many works.

　After recounting the story of his life, he looked away with a ...... huff.

But I fell into a super-slump and couldn't write a single word even though the deadline was near, so I ...... holed up in that basement. It's a nostalgic story.
"I don't believe you've been holed up in ...... for thirty years just to escape a deadline?

　It is a piece of crap to say the least.
　I'm not sure what to make of this.

"Because my editor is really scary. If I had shown him a blank manuscript, he would have drowned me in the sea!
It would have been better for me if you'd just disappeared into the sea. ......
"Haha, Mr. Allen is so funny. How can you make jokes with such a scary face?
"......

　Dorothea giggled. This is a great way to make sure that you don't end up with a lot of problems.
