Lady Filia it's time to get your bearings.

I'm not angry at you.

'No I don't think he's angry, no matter how you look at it.

　I stared at Filia, confused, and she stared back at me with her blue eyes, too.
　This is our mansion's study, where I usually teach Filia magic.
　Filia is sitting in a chair, and I'm standing in front of her.

　I'm just looking down at Filia, and it takes the form of Filia looking up at me.

　Filia is in a bad mood since I kissed Lucy and Claire.

　After the rescue mission for Lucy, the mansion has returned to peace.
　The one thing that changed with the incident was that Lucy was gone and her niece Lucille came to live in the mansion instead.

　The other residents are still the same as before. That is, Filia the Princess, Clarice the maid, Sophia the saint, Lisa the white mage girl, my former female companion Rylen Remilia, and the twin sisters, former female sage Alte and Flora.

'They're all girls, aren't they?'

It's just a coincidence.

'Hmm. But aren't you really going to do what you did with everyone else, Lucy and Miss Clarice?

That means....

You know ... kissing and stuff.

　Filia blushed and looked up at me.
　It's true that I kissed Lucy and Claire, but it wasn't from me.
　However, it would sound like an excuse to Filia.

''........even though you have only kissed me on the back of my hand or on my cheek....

Well, Master Filia is my apprentice.

　There was no way she could kiss the lips of her apprentice, and even more importantly, the princess.
　But Filia puffed out her cheeks more and more unhappily.

''That's right. I'm sure you're right, Solon and I are just apprentices and masters, not lovers.

　I wondered what I should do.
　I had invited Filia into this study to explain the upcoming magic lesson.
　However, she questioned me about kissing Lucy and Claire, and I couldn't get the conversation going.

'Does Solon like Lucy and Claire-san?'

It's important to me as a mentor and friend.

　I just didn't know if I liked them both in the sense that Lucy and Claire wanted me to.

　Both of them said they didn't need a reply and left far from the imperial capital.

''Filia-sama it's time for us to have a lesson.

Are you kidding me?

'At least, what's important to me is that I'm Lady Filia's tutor.

　I said in a quiet voice.
　Filia looked at me and then changed her expression and smiled happily.

I'm sure you're right. I'm the one beside Solon.

'Yes, sir. I promised you that I would protect Lady Filia and make her a first-rate sorceress.

'Mm-hm. You're right. Solon is my very own teacher. So, what will you teach me?

Oh, first of all...

Like how to kiss him?

You're not going to tell me?

Shame.

　Filia spun her apple tree wand around.
　Then, with a mischievous gleam in her eye, she stood up suddenly and put her face close to mine.

　Slamming down, I do.
　Filia's small lips were right in front of mine.
　Filia whispers.

"I'm waiting for Solon to tell me...
