Hey, sister.

What is it?　Iris.

　Iris and Tise were slowly reading a book in a flower garden.
　In the midst of the quiet, it was Iris who called out to him first.

　Tise doesn't know what he's going to say, but she understands that it's not about work.
　She also understands that she should get back to work, but she can't because Aria is not here.

When is the Demon Lord coming back?

I'm not sure. ...... He didn't give me a specific date, so I'm guessing ...... tomorrow?

Then we can relax until tomorrow.

　Apparently, Iris is fundamentally unwilling to go back to work.
　He seems to be aware of the fact that Aria is going out, in the sense of a holiday.

But if she slacks off too much, she'll have a hard time when she starts work. What do you think?　What do you think, Iris?

I'll share the extra with Rosé.

Iris, I think Rose will be very upset with you. ......?

　I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.
　It's a good idea to show your dignity as an older sister by standing up for yourself and making Iris do the same, but you can't even move your own feet.

　However, she could not even move her legs.
　If I were to entrust her with any more work, I would feel more sorry for her than for her physical strength.

"Iris. It's not for me to say, but how can I motivate you?

"...... Iris, I want to go to the spa with you.

　An answer I hadn't expected.
　I was expecting Iris to ask for something more like a gift, but her whim came at an unexpected time.

　I wondered if the hot springs alone would really motivate Iris--they would probably have little effect.
　However, as an older sister, I would like to fulfill my sister's wish.

"...... hot springs?　Is there one near here?

Yes.

Are you sure?

Maybe.

......

Stay.

　Tise lightly pinches Iris's cheek, who has given up thinking.
　If you don't do this, you might grow up to be an adult with a random personality.
　Today, Tise is passionate about educating Iris.

You have to take it seriously since you're the one who suggested it.

I'm sorry, sister. I'm sorry, sister, but that was a really good scene.

Come on, you can read a book whenever you want. I'm glad it was me, but don't be like that with Richter.

"...... Yes.

　I'm glad it was me, but you can't act like that towards Richt-san or anyone else.
　The name of Aria and Licht is quite important to Iris.
　Tise, who has always been close to her as an older sister, saw this clearly.

"So, Iris. What are you going to do about the hot springs after all?

"I'll ask Rose to look for it.

She said no.

　From now on, the two of them would repeat the same story over and over again.

　Eventually.
　Eventually, Tise relented and asked Rosé to find it for her.
