Well, let's get in there.
'Yeah...'

　We came to a hotel together. It's also a very exclusive hotel.

　Even though I am a nobleman, I only eat at such a place a few times a year.

　We came to such a place. We were led to a table where we could see the night view. It was even better than the daytime restaurant.

'Fee, we're going to have another course, okay?'
Yeah. Good.

　This time it was a meat course. But this time the meal didn't taste like anything at all. My brain was on the verge of short-circuiting because I was so nervous and paranoid. I don't even remember what we were talking about, I don't really remember what we were doing.

'Is the wine good?'
Yeah. It's good, Elle.

　The wine is quite dated and very good. I don't know how much money I've spent today alone. But even in my vague awareness I'm still wary. Maybe there's still a backstory to this.

'Well, dinner's all done. Let's go to our room.
Well ... yeah.

　We both head to our suite on the top floor. I hadn't had that much to drink today and I'm very conscious. My heart really felt like it was going to jump out of my chest in the elevator.

　That's how nervous I am.......me.

'I guess the room is here,'
....

　When we entered the room, it was large and luxurious, just like a suite. I've never stayed in a place like this before.

　Finally, here I am at last........

　Just as I was thinking about this, Elle came to me with something outrageous.

'Fee, go take a bath first.
...What?
Want me to come back later?
No, he's coming in first!

　I put my bag down and went straight to the bathroom. The bathroom was also very clean and lavishly decorated. As I take a shower, I think to myself. Could this be....that's what this is all about?　But Elle is underage and...?　But ... but ... it's okay to be prepared, just in case, right?　Besides, I'm not at all sure if it's at least a kiss......................and then the young urges hit me.

　While indulging in such fantasies, I washed my body carefully for about 40 minutes.

　I don't have any ulterior motive, you know!

　Manners!　It's just good manners!

Fee, it's been a long time.
'A woman's bath is like this...'

　I came out in the bathrobe that was provided.

　Eh, Elle.........say something more.......

'Then don't let me come in too.
Have a good day.

　Then I start to hear Elle taking a shower.

　I sit still on the bed and wait. Ki, I'm too nervous to move my body properly. But it's okay, right?　We can count on that, can't we?

　Clatter. There's a sound, and Elle comes out. She's suitably wet, and her hair is unraveled...how s*xy she is. No, it's erotic. This is bad ... my heart is racing.

'Fee.'
What?
Do you?
'What?　Do it!　You really do!
Yeah. Isn't that the deal?
Oh, yeah ... yeah ... okay, let's do it, okay?

　I willfully try to take off my bathrobe, shivering.

　

''Hmm?　You gonna change?　Then I'll be in the other room.
'What?　Soooo, aren't you going to do that?
Hmm?　You're going to do it, drink your dinner.
...What?
I promised you the other night. You said you wanted to have a drink at a big hotel at night. And you said you wanted to have a date for the day. I tried to fulfill that request today but you didn't like it?
'Oh....'

　I was remembering everything. Right after the entrance ceremony was over, I soared and demanded it of Elle. He said he wanted to have a glass of wine at an expensive hotel, not a pub, during that lumbering launch. And he also said he wanted a nice date. But that was just drunken nonsense.

"...Did Elle remember all that drunken crap?
'No wonder. I've only been an instructor for a short period of time, but I've learned a little about Fee's struggles. You should give it a good workout every now and then. Thanks, Fee.
....

　I can't do this anymore. I'm all red in the face now. Already red. I'm hot. I can see that my face is hot. It's not just my face. My body is hot too. This is not a sense of shame. I'm happy with Elle's behavior, and I love her so much that I can't help but feel an overflowing feeling.

　Oh no it's really bad. I think I'm going to get out of this.

You're blushing, Fee. Did the wine come around?
'What?　Yeah, maybe so~. But I'm going to drink again now, and that's just fine!
Really?　I'm not a drinker, but I'll go out with you.

　Then Elle brought me some drinks and we spent the evening talking and talking together. I was wrong, but I really appreciate Elle's help.

　Thank you, Elle.

　And after finishing my dinner, I fell asleep with the greatest happiness.

　By the way, my desire to make him tell me was no longer important to me....

　Someday, I'm sure I'll be able to tell you.........


　◇


Phew, I'm home.

　I'm back at home. But there's no need to say I'm home or anything like that, because there's no one at home. But I would say it out of habit when I was at my parents' house.

　But there was a reply to that.

'Welcome back, Elle. How did it go?
Sis. When did you....
'I was just curious. It was my coordination.
'Well that was really helpful. I think it worked out well.
Yeah. Good.

　This plan, in fact, wasn't something I had planned alone. I've collected various magazines and stuff and tried to figure out what dating is all about, but I've never come close to a perfect understanding of it. My knowledge is skewed towards anything related to alchemy and crops. No matter how tall I am, there is a limit to how far I can go.

　And I asked for someone to help me. That person was sister Marie. She must know a lot of things. So I asked for help, and I was right.

　She told me to buy everything, from the clothes to the hair set and everything else, and we were on the perfect date course. The last hotel would have been perfect. He was strangely pleased with his evening drink.

"So, what happened at the hotel?
Hmm?　I just had a normal dinner and went to bed, but...
Huh you should show a little more guts there you know Mr. Fee would have been expecting that.
"...what did you expect?
You'll have to know that for yourself.
Is that what it is?
'Yes. There's a lot going on in a damsel.

　As soon as my sister said that, I felt something hit me from behind with a don.

'Brother!　What do you think?　Surprised?
Liese. Where have you been?
'I was hiding!　You didn't even notice!
'Oh. Riese's covert skills are as amazing as ever.
Heh-heh-heh-heh.

　I give her a good pat on the head. Then Liese says ehehe and lets her face relax with a grin. Come to think of it, it's been a really long time since siblings have gotten together like this.

Okay, now let's go on a date together!
'Yay!　Let's go, let's go!　I want to go with my brother!
I'll pass. I'm busy with my research.
Yeah. Let's go, sis!
I'm sorry, Liese. I'm going to leave now. Bye.

　Then my sister leaves. She's still cool as ever. Well, that's what makes her so attractive.

'So, Liese. Can we go on a date next week?
'Okay. Because today is a thing, isn't it?
Yeah, that one.

　We both grinned, and I read the research materials that Liese brought with her.

　Liese has become a better researcher lately. It's not just fruits; Liese wants to produce crops that can grow in any kind of harsh environment. He wants to create a wonderful crop that can grow in temperatures below zero and above 50 degrees Celsius. My sister tells me not to make such a monster, but I will.

Okay, I'll keep working on it!
Oh!

　And we're working on our research, as usual, when Lise asks me something unexpected.

'Do you like your brother, Fee-san?'
'Oh. I like you as much as I like Liese.
I mean romantically!
Love....

　I'm not sure if that's what you're asking.

　But if I were to start a family in the future, it might be an understanding woman like Fee.

　Well, in my case, I'll have to push on for my goals for now.

"Hmm. I don't know. But I think Fee would make a good wife.
"Hmm, I see. But you're going to have to play with me some more, big brother. I'm not giving it to Mr. Fee yet!

　Hearing that story, I'm sure I'll be in love with one of them someday. Vaguely, I thought so.
