　Let me rearrange the quote by Hijikata Toshizo as I mentioned earlier.

A canary has the beauty of a golden sparrow, and a crane has the beauty of a crane. Comparing them is nonsense.

　However, I laughed when Jeanne made this comment at the end.

　I had compared Jeanne, who is always so picky, to a golden sparrow, but I guess she didn't understand my intention.

　Unfortunately, Eve seemed to sense it, and her mouth relaxed and she was trying to hold back her laughter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She looked so adorable.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The same goes for Jeanne, who is smugly pretending to be more beautiful than she is.
