After staying at Alice's house for a few days, on the thirteenth day of the month of light I returned to Lilia-san's mansion.
　It feels like it's been quite a while, but it still feels like........I'm home.

　While enjoying the feeling of relief, the front door of the mansion... for some reason, the door was opened vigorously.

''Huh?　Ms. Luna Maria?
'This is Miyama-sama!　Oh, welcome back ... hey, just in time!
Huh?
Can you help me?

　Lunamaria-san, who has jumped out of the house, seems to be in a tremendous panic, and with a sad look on her face, she tells me to help her, and then she goes behind me and hides.
　As I'm puzzled as to what in the world has happened, an angry voice that seems to shake the entire mansion resounds immediately afterwards.

''Lunaaaaaaah!
What?
What?

　Lilia-san's loud voice, which seems to shake the air, is so powerful that even I, who wasn't called by name, was frightened out of my wits.
　And then, from the door of the mansion, Lilia-san appeared with an angry aura on her face, as if the demons of hell were still out there.

　What in the world did you do, Lunamaria!　Lilia-san is becoming a shura........this is too scary.


'Oh, calm down, Miss, you're in a........accident!　It was an accident!

　What is it?　That room?　What if I just went in?　What did you really do?　How in the world could that sweet Lilia-san become so agitated?

'How dare you!　You broke my 'Model of the Tempest Dragon'!
'I'm sorry, too!　I didn't do it on purpose!
Huh?

　Huh?　What?　What did you say, now?　A model of a dragon?

Today is not the day.
"...er...er...

　Lilia-san was approaching us in anger, but she noticed my presence in the middle and stiffened.
　A very awkward silence passed between me and Lilia-san, and a great deal of sweat began to run down Lilia-san's face.

''........or is it Kite?　When are you going home?
Well, uh... just now. So, what's this thing called a model dragon that's...
Oh, no, no, what are you talking about?　What, a model dragon?　Wait, hey, I don't have any idea what you're talking about right away!
....

　.........Lilia-san, you're too bad at deceiving yourself.
　I knew that Lilia-san liked dragons, but I didn't expect her to have a model as well.......but I've been living in the mansion for nearly half a year and I don't think I've ever seen anything like that before.

''It's a hobby of yours, Miss.
Luna?
'What?　Lilia-san, you said you don't have any hobbies...
Yes, he's trying to hide it...
Well, wait, Luna. What are you going to say...

　When Luna Maria-san answers my question, Lilia-san starts to get visibly upset.

''........There's a 'hidden room' next to the young lady's office......There, secretly, I have a collection of dragon models and scales....
"...Luna. That's an order. Shut up at once and I will snap you.
What?

　Snapped what?　No, let's not pry too deeply.......because it's terrifying.

''Ri, Lilia-san, you had such a hobby.......''
'What?　Oh, no, no, no, Mr. Kite!　Oh, it's just a few.......I only collected a few items....
... "By the way, as of yesterday, the collection was '300 items'.
''Well Luna, you really need to shut up. If you say anything more than that, I'll crush you until you're half your size.
I understand, sir!　I won't be speaking anymore!

　Seeing Lilia-san telling me in a ridiculously dense voice, Lunamaria-san completely hid behind my back and became silent.
　It seems that even the natural Luna Maria-san is unable to oppose the current Lilia-san.

　But if you don't, it's a little unbearable for me to continue like this........something to follow up on.......

I think it's fine, don't you?　Having a hobby like that means you can afford it, and...
Is that right?　Doesn't that........gee, don't you feel disillusioned?
'What?　Why?
No, no, I mean, it's just an unladylike hobby...

　Ah, I see, so you were hiding it because you were worried about your femininity.......I don't think there's anything else to worry about.
　Looking at Lilia-san, who has dyed her cheeks and is glancing at us, I relax my shoulders and smile before opening my mouth.

''That's not true. Everyone has their own hobbies, so there's nothing to be embarrassed about. Besides, I think dragons are cool too.
'Oh, I see... or, if you say so, Kite, I'm relieved.

　Lilia, you're so cute. Her gesture of patting her chest with a relieved smile is just adorable. She really doesn't seem older, in a good way, or maybe it's the gap between her usual solid appearance and this kind of appearance that's so appealing.

　Then I suddenly remembered the model of the dragon I got from the random box. According to Alice's information, it seems to be the one that Lilia-san wanted, and since it's just the right time, here it is.......

'Oh, come to think of it, Lilia-san. I got something like this........
"...what?　What?　I don't think that's.......a model of the Ancient Ground Dragon, which is limited to the initial lot of random boxes!　What? Where did you get it?　Tell me about it!　Please!

　Something that's been eating away at me far more quickly than I expected!

'Oh, please calm down I just happened to get it from Alice's shop and I'll give it to you if you'd like.　Ehhh!　I don't know. Are you sure?　Oh, really?　Duh, because this is an initial lot only, and it's a rare and precious one that's no longer available...
Yes, there's no point in me keeping it so I'll just call it a gift for my precious girlfriend.
"...or, Kite....

　When I tell her with a smile, Lilia-san seems to have tears in her eyes, as if she is overcome with emotion, and takes the model with her trembling hands.......isn't the reaction too exaggerated!
　Then she hugged the model she received carefully in front of her chest and gave me a happy smile.

　While admiring that adorable figure, Lilia-san made me happy, and I myself felt a surge of happiness.
　Just then, I heard a small voice from behind me.

''Say, as expected of Miyama-sama..........This Lunamaria, I admire you.

　........I didn't do it for you, bad maid.
　Umm, hmmm.
　

　

''Belle~!　Because I heard Luna Maria is going to play with you!　You should let them play with you as much as they can!
"...Heh?　Huh?　Miyama-sama!　What are you doing...?
Gulp!
'Huh!　But wait.... why do you have to run all the way over here when you don't bother with them at all... oh, that's right, Miyama-sama gave me the go-ahead...

　As soon as I give the instruction, I quickly move away from Lunamaria-san.
　Unable to keep up with the situation, Lunamaria-san, seeing Belle coming towards me at a furious speed, turned blue in the face and ran away.

''Belle........go ahead and chase her for about two hours~''
Gah!
'Miyama-sama!　

　Lunamaria is running away in a desperate manner, but she's telling Belle to play properly. Belle is a smart girl, so she'll make sure to add or subtract.
　In other words, she will continue to chase us at a reasonable speed, which will allow Ms. Gilirnamaria to escape.

　Lunamaria-san sends an SOS to us while shouting, but she completely deserved it, so we ignored her and entered the mansion with Lilia-san, who still has a happy look on her face.

　Dear Mother and Father - a nuisance that I immediately encountered in the mansion where I came back after a long time. It was Lunamaria-san's prank as usual, but I think it was handled well, yes, I mean - the evil was destroyed.
