Umm.........

　Morning. I wake up feeling a weight on my body.

　It's not a good awakening. When I opened my eyes, I found Alice. The time is now morning, but it was already before ten o'clock. That means.........

'Sir!　I'm here!

　She smiles at me and zips her face up to mine, smiling. I dismissed Alice on top of me for now and decided to get out of bed.

'Huh ... you're out of the hospital?'
'Yes!　Actually, it's been in the works for a while, but I wanted to surprise you!
Well, I'm surprised.

　The tension is higher than usual, so I can't get angry at her. Rather, Alice is acting so cheerful even though she has been through a lot with Alice, so I guess I should be happy about that.

　And I gently stroke Alice's head.

''....................Ugh!　How, what's going on?
No. I just did it because I wanted to. Is that bad?
'No, no ... it's not...'

　And while she was usually full of supremacy, she was now turning her face downward and turning a little red.

''Jeez........''

　As we were having this exchange in my room, I saw Fee's guy staring at me through the door of my room.

'Fee. What's going on in there?
'Not really... just thought it was obvious that Princess Alice was here.
'Humph!　I'm trusted by my teacher, you know!

　It's a good thing that you're not the only one who can do this. I'm sure it was said that a family member gave it to her and she accepted it, but she acted as if it was given to her by me.

　I'm going to correct that and try to get the words out, but....

　Apparently, the two of them ended up arguing for the first time as usual.

''Hmph!　I won't let Fee beat me!

'Teachers definitely like it when you're close to their age. Not to an older person like Fee~. I'm an old lady now!
Whoa!　Hey!　No matter how much of a princess you are, there are things you can and can't say!
Hm!　I don't mind!

　Then they both turn to me and suddenly ask me if I want to be older or younger. I sighed, "Huh..." and smiled bitterly as I thought somewhat nostalgically of their argument.
