While Dr. Lucy and I were talking for a bit, Filia came back to change her clothes.
　With a bounce, Filia stood in front of us and asked in a bouncy voice, "What do you think?

'Well?　Do you think this dress is pretty?

　The radiant blue dress was delicately decorated and added an air of elegance to Filia.
　It was a fitting formal attire for an official court function.
　I smiled.

'I think it's very pretty,'

　I said, and Lucy stepped on my foot next to me.
　I wondered why she would do that, but she was sulking and looking up at me.

　I wasn't aware of it when Lucy walked into the room, but for some reason she's wearing a dress too.
　The dress Lucy is wearing is a bright crimson color, which matches her red hair and eyes, making her look worthy of being called "Crimson Lucy".
　It was a rather bold outfit with an open chest, but it didn't deviate from the scope of proper imperial-style formal attire.

''Oh, is Lucy-sensei going to participate in the imperial ceremony too?''

Yes. Yes, that's why I'm here. But that's not what you should be saying, is it?

　Lucy stared at me with increasing frustration.
　Finally I realized Lucy's intentions and said in a hurry.

''Um, I think that dress looks great and looks great on you.''

I don't feel like I can put my mind to it.

　Lucy glares at me, then takes a step forward and gingerly grabs me by the collar.
　I wonder if it's something to be so angry about, I wondered, as I took an impatient step back.
　But I bumped into the wall of the room.
　At the same time, Lucy is dragged along with her grip on my collar.

　Lucy-sensei, who had a big smile on her face, let out a cute "wow" and lost her balance and fell towards me.
　I had no choice but to hold Lucy in my arms.

'Are you okay, doctor?'

Yeah, yeah.

　I glanced at Lucy, who was blushing, and glanced at me as she hugged me.
　What troubled me a bit was that Lucy and I were in close contact, and her breasts were against me.
　Looking down, I could see Lucy's cleavage just exposed through her dress.
　Lucy looked down as if she was troubled.

'So, Solon. Which, where are you looking?

I didn't see anything.

You're a liar. You've been thinking really strange thoughts, haven't you?

'No, I thought Miss Lucy was beautiful. But I think you look a little bit better in that outfit, but it's too bold.

"Solon's Idiot.

　Lucy said shyly, then slumped down, looking like she was thinking about something, and then she said, "I see. I think that's enough," she murmured.
　As it was, Lucy used her body to push me against the wall.
　Lucy smiled mischievously, and I was upset.

'Uh, um, Lucy-sensei?'

Is there something you want to tell me?

　Lucy whispered, bringing her lips to my ear.
　Lucy's actions made the closeness between me and her more intense, making me very aware of the warmth and softness of her breasts.
　I felt my head dizzy as I thought about how different it was from Filia's.
　I'm not sure if it's a good idea.

''I'm quite large, aren't I?

Don't ask me that.

I knew it. You've been staring at my chest all day, haven't you?

　I didn't have any answers.
　As I did so, Lucy gently stroked my cheek with her fingertips.

'You know, Solon, you've got a bright red face. He's so cute.'

Whose fault is it?

Do you want to feel around in here?

　Lucy pecked out her breasts with her fingers.
　I probably looked horrified, and I think I was getting redder and redder.
　Lucy giggled, and then she finally let go of me.

'Just kidding. Surprised?

'I'm surprised, but more importantly, didn't Miss Lucy say she didn't do slutty things to her students?

　I said as sarcastically as possible to hide my embarrassment.
　I don't think Lucy herself would be able to show this to Filia and I by telling us to keep our distance.
　But Lucy said with a satisfied smile.

'Oh, this is not strange. I was just making fun of Solon.

That logic is absolutely ridiculous.

And besides, you're on your own now. You are a master and an apprentice, but you are also an equal in wizardry. You and I are master and apprentice, but we're both equals as wizards now.

What do you mean?

I mean, my relationship with Solon is not the same as Solon's relationship with Filia.

　Lucy quipped with a smile that sounded confident.
　When we turned around, Filia was glaring at us with her cheeks puffed out.
　Lucy didn't even bother to do this in front of Filia, why would she do this?
　My head hurts.
　Filia looked like she was completely sulking and complained to Lucy.

'Lucy isn't very mature,'

What are you talking about?

　Lucy smiled a spare smile and Filia glared at her.
　But Filia popped her hand as if she had an idea for a good one.
　Holding out her hands, Filia said brightly.

'I don't think Lucy knows this, but this is me and Solon's room.

What do you mean?

I mean, Solon and I live in the same room.

　Lucy looked at me and Filia with a shocked look on her face.
　I held my head in my hands.
　Lucy might get angry again.
　Moreover, if she says that unmarried men and women shouldn't live together in the same room, that's the trouble, too.

　I said before it became troublesome.

'Lucy-sensei and Filia-sama, it's time to get ready properly or you'll be late for the ceremony. As for me, you two have plans, though.''

"Solon has plans too, okay?

　Filia says curiously.
　I wonder if it was.
　I have no idea.
　But Lucy is nodding in agreement with Filia's words.
　I had a bad feeling about this.

I had a bad feeling about this. "Solon and Lucy are going to participate in the ceremony as my followers.

　As if it were obvious, Filia said.
