Sat. 25th of the month. It's already been three days since Lilia achieved her long-cherished dream at Amalie-san's birthday party.
　I'm in a bit of a pickle at the moment... In other words, at the party, Lilia-san kissed me, which was a tremendous surprise, and I was able to know her feelings and at the same time reaffirm my own feelings at the same time. That's good.

　........the problem is that even after three days, there has been no progress, and more importantly.......it seems that lately, Lilia and I have been in an awkward situation.
　Since that day, Lilia-san has been avoiding me, or rather........whenever I talk to her, she ends the conversation in a hurry and goes away.

　It's a good idea to have a good time with them.
　I'm not sure what to do with them because I haven't responded to them at this point, and I'm sure they're anxious and don't know what to do with me.
　But the problem is that when I try to talk about it, he runs away immediately, so the conversation never progresses and there's no chance for me to express my feelings.
　


I see, that was the reason why Lili was so funny at that time........hmmm.

　Hearing my story, Zeke-san nodded her head in annoyance.
　I thought that if I was to ask for advice, Siege-san would be the best person in the mansion to ask for it, but it seems to be difficult to do so.

It's a good idea to have a solid method for this place.
Oh, what kind of method is that?
Yes, that's-- "I've heard the story! --Huh?
"...what?　Ms. Luna Maria?

　I heard a sharp voice interrupt Zeke's words, and when I turned back to the direction of the voice, I saw Luna Maria... why is she leaning against the wall with her arms crossed?　And don't give me that smug look that I don't understand because it makes me so angry
　Luna Maria-san, who suddenly appeared, opens her mouth with a grin and a nasty smile, lightly placing her finger on her forehead.

''Well........shall I leave this place to me, the renowned pilot guide of love!
'....Lunamaria, aren't you ashamed to say that?
'Why such a cool tweak!　
Oh, I see...

　Honestly, the self-proclaimed pilot in love, who doesn't seem to be able to rely on this one at all, looks at us with a plentiful and wasteful smile and silence, then nods widely and looks at us.

''........I have an idea!
Oh, no.
Hey!　Master Miyama!
'So, Mr. Zeke. A solid idea would be....
And then ignored?

　...because that's never going to work. You don't have to ask me anymore.
　Also, the level of trust between Lunamaria-san and Zeke-san is simply different between Zeke-san, who is kind and sincere, and Lunamaria-san, who is so bent out of shape that she thinks it's her purpose to make fun of people, I don't even have to think about which one I would consult.
　　

...What's that?　I feel like I'm being undermined tremendously in Miyama-sama's mind...
"...Huh, okay. Well then, just say something.
Here are the keys to your room, Miss... Thank you for your help." - "Early!
"...Luna, a little more serious...

　It seems it was still that kind of stupid idea to crawl on the night or something like that........I was foolish for expecting it even a hair's breadth ago.
　Once again, Lunamaria-san decides to ignore it and calls out to Zeke-san, who is just as dumbfounded as I am.

''Zeke-san, can I ask you to tell me again?''
'What?　Yes, I know that's a bit of a moonshot but I think it would be a good idea to give her a gift. It's just about to be Lili's birthday soon, and I think it will be enough of an opportunity to talk.
"...what?　Lilia's ... birthday?

　I couldn't help but ask back, more concerned about the words Lilia's birthday that I heard before the idea that Zeke had announced.

'Yes, it's the seventh day of the windy month before the moon of light.
........aren't we almost there!
Hmm, that's a pretty good idea, Zeke. It's just that we're planning to have a small party at the mansion, and we'll give him a gift that will bring him joy...
You're still here, Ms. Luna Maria.

　While I was dumbfounded by Lunamaria-san, who quietly joined the conversation, I felt that it was indeed a good idea.
　There are twelve days, including today, until the seventh day of the month of the wind.......................We have enough time to prepare the present in the meantime.
　And since Lilia-san has always been a great help to me, and since she gave me a suit of clothes last time, I was thinking of ways to repay her for her kindness, so I had a chance to talk to her and thank her. It's an idea that could kill two birds with one stone.

Sure, it's a great idea thank you very much. Mr. Zeke!　I'm glad I talked to Zeke, after all!
Really?　Yo, I hope you're happy with it, too.
Really, Mr. Zeke is always helping me out...
'That's not true. I'm the one who's always helping me, Kite.
Well if you're going to flirt with me, could you do it somewhere else?

　Thinking that I was really glad to consult with Zeke, I shook Zeke's hand and he gave me a smile as his cheeks dyed with a bashful smile.
　As I was feeling somewhat happy with that cute gesture.......I heard Lunamaria-san's voice, which seemed to be dismayed.

''Kite, if there's anything I can help you with, please tell me anything.
'Thank you so much. It's tremendously reassuring.

No, thank you.
Hey!　Miyama-sama, isn't my attitude too different from that of Zeke's!　Is your lover that important!
Yes, sir.
Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

　Let's put aside the stinky Lunamaria-san's offer of cooperation, but thanks to Zeke-san's help, we've decided on a policy, so we'll try to work towards it.

　Dear Mom, Dad - because of the previous incident, apparently I've tended to cross paths with Lilia-san recently. In order to solve this problem, and in order to convey my feelings to Lilia-san, I've decided to carry out Operation Present.
