At the time when the sun was setting and the darkness of night was coming, Shea and Hart were sitting in a chair in a room of the royal castle with a somewhat tired expression on their faces.

''........I thought it would be almost over today, but it didn't go as far as I thought it would.''
''It can't be helped. The idiot made the God of Fate in a bad mood in the middle of the meeting... The Phantom King handled it and didn't move, but there aren't many human races that can speak to the God of Fate in a bad mood... The meeting was inevitable.
Well.....

　Yes, the girls were in the same assembly as yesterday, but the discussions there didn't go as far as they would have liked.
　
　

　Naturally, as the highest-ranking person in the place, the council members can't speak out without a second thought when Fate is in a bad mood, and furthermore, there is information that there was an attack aimed at the brave man, which throws the place into chaos.

But it's hard work for Miyama-sama, isn't it? We've had nothing but disaster since we arrived.
"Mishaps?　You were only involved in one attack, right?
........I wonder if you have forgotten about your senior?
What?

　Hearing Hart's words with a somewhat pitying expression, Shea listens back while tilting her head in wonderment.

''I was suddenly brought by the God of Fate without a second thought, and when I arrived, some diabolical senpai was hostile and took it out on me...''
'What?　No, no, I didn't mean....
''It must have been a terrible disaster for Miyama-sama, even if she didn't mean it. Oh, poor thing, she's only a child of about 20 or so, but she was abused by a scary senior.
'What?　No, no!
I'm sure you 'wet your pillow with tears' last night.
....

　Hearing Heart's words, which contained venom that he told her in a matter-of-fact manner, Shea's expression grew paler and paler.
　Shea certainly treated Kaito almost outright, but Shea was originally a good-natured person to begin with... and honestly, she thought she had always done something wrong about that.
　However, Shea is inexplicably bad at talking, and has not been able to apologize or apologize well until now.
　That's why you're getting paler and paler when someone else tells you that you've hurt a pleasant person.

''There was a terrible goddess, wasn't there? Even with the matter of the God of Fate, it's not Miyama-sama's fault... how could she be blamed by someone she had never met before?
Well, I'm just going to go out for a while.
Yes. Have a good day.

　Shea understood that Hart was making fun of himself....spitting venom as usual, but that didn't mean that the actions he had done to the pleasant man would go away.
　Standing up impatiently, Shea muttered a word and disappeared, and Hart waved his hand loosely in the empty room.









　After a busy day, I was relaxing in my room at the inn.
　

''............What?　Mr. Shea?
....

　However, the person outside the door was not Fate-san as I had expected, but.......Shea-san.
　Shea-san, who removed only the hood part of her robe to reveal her white hair, was silent, not even entering the room when she opened the door.

　However, this person is really stubborn and won't make eye contact with you.......what is it?　Is there a parental avenger at a diagonal of forty-five degrees below that?
　It seems that Shea's favorability towards me is as low as ever. Well, we hardly talk at all, so that can't be helped.

You can't get away with it.　What's wrong?
Here.
Yeah?

　I called out to her, and out of nowhere, Shea-san took out five neatly wrapped boxes and handed them to me.
　At a glance, they look like candy, but what are they?　What do you want me to do with this?　

''........I couldn't eat it all, so I have some left over, so I'll give it to you.''
'What?　No, no, but........this is brand new for all intents and purposes.......
You can't have any more!
'Oh, yes sir!　It's a leftover. We'll be grateful!

　Huh?　That's funny?　I'm getting snacks now, aren't I?　Why is he yelling at you?
　In front of my confused face, Shea-san keeps glancing at me and averting her gaze, and then slowly opens her mouth.

'Ta, if that's not enough, just tell me one thing, just tell me what you want.
Yo, you want?

　What do I do?　I really don't know what Shea is talking about.

'I don't feel bad about it at all, though!　Because I am a generous God!　As a reward for taking my octogenarianism, I'll give you one request!
"...what?　Oh, yes.

　Well, I mean is that... is that... that it?　Ms. Shea, are you apologizing to me right now?
　...it's hard to understand!　In short, he's saying that he'll listen to one request as an apology for taking it out on you...............................hmmmmm. He's really the type of person I've never been around before. I don't know how to respond to this.

So, get on with it and tell me what you want!
'Well, well... well, then, I don't need to apologize or anything, but... so, then... well... yeah!　If you could treat me to a meal next time, that would be enough.
What?　Rude!
Huh?　Huh?
Ni, ni, human, wow, you have no respect for me to have a 'date' with a human being.

　...No, I never said anything about that, did I?

I didn't mean to... sorry. In that case, you don't have to apologize or anything, okay?
Ugh.....
What?
"...I mean I won't allow you to do anything else...." that's what I'm saying... vile. .....
....

　What's going on in this man's head?　Is everything I said automatically translated into a negative direction?　Why are you making it sound like I'm blackmailing you?　Hey, why?
　With me stunned, Shea-san turns her face down and raises her bright red face after shaking her shoulders with a pull.

''Fine!　Just do what you want!　I'll give you a date or something!
...What?
I'll give you the schedule right away!　Just wait for me to wash my neck!
'What?　

　Then he told her to wind up and left.
　I really don't understand Shea-san... what?　I mean, a date decision?
　...How did that happen?

　After staring at the empty hallway for a moment, I let out a loud sigh before walking back into the room.
　Then, feeling unspeakably tired, I suddenly look at the box of sweets in my hand.
　I'm tired and I want something sweet.......I got it, so I can eat it, right?

　While thinking like that, I open one of the candy wrappers at random, revealing an assortment of bright red sweets inside.
　Is it strawberry flavor?　No, maybe they're decorating the look of it to look like an apple. Anyway, it looks pretty tasty and I'll take a bite first...

'What?　Huh, huh.........or is it hot~?

　
　What is this!　Hot!　No, it hurts already!　It's like your mouth is on fire!
　It's all about pure spiciness with no refinement, like a mouth full of chili peppers, and it makes me sweat from all over my body.

　I grabbed a jug of water in a hurry and gulped it down without transferring it to the glass.

"Ha~hi~

　I drank a lot of water and it's still spicy... how much spicy material was used in this?
　I mean, why would Mr. Shea give me these murderous snacks?　...harassment?　

　Dear Mom, Dad - Shea-san was the type of person I hadn't been around before, and I didn't really know how to respond to her, and I even made some strange promises to her. As it was, the candy that Shea-san gave me was - it was spicy as fire.
