We're here at last.

　I get out of the carriage. Hmmm!　You've been sitting for so long, your body is so stiff. It feels so good to stretch out!　Still, it's just like the royal capital. The width of the roads, the number of people, and the amount of shops are all very different from those of the frontier counties.

"Master Aeris, let's go!

'Okay, Chloe. I'll have to say hello to Eliza's mother.

　And so I walked into the mansion. I will be living in the royal capital from today. The reason for this is to enroll in Kardia Academy.

　How long have I waited for this day since Ray didn't come back from King's Landing half a year ago? If I meet you, I will punch you in the face!

　As I walked through the mansion with that in mind, I found

'Yes!　One, two!　One, two!　Move your body faster!

Yes, Master!

　There was some kind of muscular man and a young boy exercising with a naked upper body and a huge smile on his face. That's Marco, isn't it?　From what I've heard, you were deprived and fat, but what's happened in the last six months?　When I look at Chloe, her cheeks are pulled slightly tighter. I guess Chloe didn't expect this either.

''Oh my, you're early.''

　I hear a woman's voice behind me. I turn around and there it is.

'Mother Eliza!　It's been a while!

Yes, long time no see Aeris. You're looking great too.

　That's Eliza's mother who smiles at me. I can't believe you're getting beautiful!　You're a good talker!

'It's been a long time, Lady Eliza. And I have to tell you something...

　We see the two of them exercising.

'Oh, you know. I'm sure Chloe knows that six months ago Zeke told Marco to lose weight, right?　So, Wondt monitored the dietary relationship, and that soldier teen that Zeke put on Marco, and that's what happened when Marco had to exercise every day.

　I'm sick of being puffy and not in the body of a 12-year-old.

"Wow, I'm going to Ray's.

I didn't want to get involved, so I tried to run away from the house.

I know. Do you know where Ray lives?

　That's okay. I got the location in the letter I got back in return for Phelia's letter before.

'It's all right. I'll be off then!

　I walk out the gate, carrying my familiar sword on my hip. I'm pretty sure it said I'd find it if I went towards the royal palace. I use my body strength and start running. So fast that it blurs the view around me!　I can't tell you how long I've been waiting for this day!

　At that time I thought that even if I went to King's Landing, I would come back as normal. That's why I sent her home normally, but I didn't expect her to stay in the capital. Your mother had heard that this might be the case, so she wasn't too surprised.

　I ran through the town, avoiding the people. Maybe it's just around here.

　I look at the house signs one by one. This is ... different. This one is different. This is ... here!　This is the place he wrote about in his letter!　Wow, it's just a normal house with a little garden, but it's big enough for a family to live in. I wonder if this is where Ray lives?　I enter the yard and proceed to the door. Then I use the door knocker on the door.

　Knock, knock, knock.

　Phew. I'm nervous, even though it's been six months since I've been here. I wonder if there's anything wrong with me.　I've been running so hard, my hair is a little messy, I think.　I was just thinking about that when I heard a voice inside.

Okay, here we go.

　What?　Why?　And it came out.

Yes, who is this?

　A woman who was probably a little older than me with a brown bob cut came out. Huh?　Wrong house?　I froze in confusion.

Um, who are you?

　The woman who came out asks me. Yes, this is not the time to freeze up. I have to ask.

"Uh, sir. This is Ravert Lanwalker's house, isn't it?　Could I be wrong?

　I have mixed feelings of wanting it to be in my mind and wanting it to be wrong.

'Yes, I'm sure this is Ray's house, but, uh, who are you?'

　Oh, come to think of it, you didn't tell me your name. He looks at me with a very confused look on his face.

''I'm sorry I'm late. My name is Aeris Lanwalker. I am the sister of the owner of this house, Ravert Lanwalker.''

　When I say that, the woman

'Oh!　That's right!　I'm sorry I didn't realize it, but my name is Helendine Largles. I'm teaching Ray-kun to study. It's nice to meet you!

　He says that and holds out his hand. I put out my hand and shake it, too.

"Um, so how's Ray?

'Ray, you're going to be at the guild's request by now. I'm sure he'll be back in the evening. Do you want to wait until then?

　Ms. Helen tilts her head back to ask. 'Of course!　That's what I came here for, and I'm not leaving!

'Of course I'll have to wait!'

Yeah, come on in.

　I walk in as Helen leads me inside. It feels a lot bigger than it looks outside. There are two three-seater sofas in the living room inside, placed facing each other. And at the far end is a single-seater sofa. There is a desk surrounded by the sofas.

Then, take your time. I'll make you some tea.

　Helen says and heads off somewhere. I look inside the room. So this is where Ray lives. But I don't know what kind of relationship I have with that beautiful person before. It's the kind of relationship that allows you to enter the house without Ray. The only thing I'm better at is the size of my breasts. I can't behave in such a ladylike manner.

"Oh?　You should have sat down. Come this way.

　As I was thinking, Miss Helen returned. There are two teacups on a tray, one on the upper seat and one in Helen's direction.

'Come in. I'm not very good at this, because the maidservant always makes tea for me.

　Helen smiles at that. It's frustrating, but beautiful. Every day with someone like this, Ray is.....

If you have a maid of honor, then she must be a noblewoman of some kind, right?

Yes, I'm the daughter of the Marquis of Rargles, who is the Prime Minister of the country.

　Was I talking comfortably to such a person?

''I'm sorry about this. To have the daughter of a marquess serve tea to you!''

　I bow my head.

'Don't worry about that. I like doing this.

　That's what Helen says.

'But,'

Then will you do me a favor?

　He suggests that. What is it?

What is it?

''Well, I was wondering if you could tell me a story about Ray-kun when he was in the frontier county. You see, I only know about the last six months since I came to the capital. Ray-kun isn't one to talk about himself that much either.

　Helen speaks with a blush on her face. .........It's a woman's face. From what your father told me, I heard that you and His Highness Alexia were engaged to be married, but I didn't think there were others.

'Wow, I understand. If it's something I know about...''

　Just as I was about to speak out, the door opens and I hear a voice.

I'm home~. Are you here, Helen?

　That voice!　This is the voice I've been waiting six months for!　I instantly get up and run towards the front door. And.

Ray!

'Huh?　Wow!

　I hug Ray as hard as I can. I'm not even close!　I hug him so hard and tightly.

'Ray's an idiot!　I can't believe he's not coming back!　God!

　I had a lot to say to Ray, but as it was, I couldn't say anything and started to cry.

'Sister. It's been a long time. I'm sorry I couldn't come home six months ago.

No. I'm the one who's sorry. I know what's going on with Ray, but I had to ask. Long time no see, Ray!

Yes, sister!

　I haven't seen Ray in a while, and he's taller and a little more manly than he was six months ago... or is he?　He's only nine years old, so it's not that different.

'Ray, I wish you would introduce me to The boy.

　Then I hear a beautiful woman's voice from behind Ray. When I turned around, there was a big-breasted woman with blonde hair in a side tail standing there. So this is His Highness Alexia.

　His Highness Alexia and I stared at each other for a little while.

''What, what is this?''

　Ms. Helen, who came in later, was puzzled, though.
