Chapter 246 - I Conveyed my Grat.i.tude

The 13th Day of the Wind month. Lilia-san and I had a big problem at the beginning of our vacation at Carrel, but after that, we were able to enjoy our stay, and both Lilia-san and I were able to fully achieve our original goal, taking a break.

And the best thing about it is that the situation wed been in after Amalie-sans party was resolved in a good way.

After the party and after we became lovers, Lilia-san was a little nervous and we couldnt continue our conversations, but after staying together for three days at Carrel, she became more relaxed. By the time we returned home, Lilia-san was as relaxed as she was before No, we are now able to exchange words with each other much more intimately than before.

In that sense, Id have to thank Lunamaria-san for pulling the strings behind the scenes for this one.

Well, but then, that Lunamaria-san As soon as we got home, she was slapped by Lilia-san and was buried in the wall but Well~ I didnt know that people can have half of their body buried in a wall like that

Well, Lunamaria-san was stuck on that wall for about an hour but it may just be that the people in this world arent weak. If I take a slap like that, my head will physically fly off Ill make sure that I dont do anything that would upset Lilia-san that much.

[Alright, Bell, youre looking good.]

[Gaoo!]

[Thank you for helping me, Lynn.]

[Kyuiii!]

With that in mind, I finished brus.h.i.+ng Bell.

Thanking Lynn for her help, I then held her in my chest as the both of us lean against Bell, who was laying down in a p.r.o.ne position.

Im very proud of Bells fur, which I dont miss brus.h.i.+ng and was.h.i.+ng every day, and it feels nice, silky and fluffy.

[Good job, Kaito-san.]

[Sieg-san too, good job. Are you done with your patrol?]

[Yes, I was working on the night s.h.i.+ft, and I just finished.]

After exchanging greetings with a smile, Sieg-san hands me a beverage and asks if she can sit next to me.

Of course, I dont have any reason to say no, so I agreed. Sieg-san then elegantly sits down on the lawn and leaned against Bell, just as I did.

[Haahhh Bell-chans fur feels nice.]

[Yes, I dont skip a day in brus.h.i.+ng him.]

[Gaoo!]

Having a leisurely conversation with her, I put Lynn on my lap after she finished eating her dried meat, and she started to curl up my lap and fall asleep, feeling sleepy after feeling up her stomach.

Bell wasnt asleep, but that fact that hes in a relaxed, p.r.o.ne position means that he may be dozing off.

Well, its certainly the perfect weather for a nap, and I know how he feels

[Fuahh Ahh, Im sorry.]

[Ahh, Sieg-san was working on a night s.h.i.+ft, right? It cant be helped if you feel sleepy.]

Hearing Sieg-san let out a small, adorable yawn, I looked in her direction and saw her rubbing her eyes as if she was a little sleepy, probably because she was on night duty.

Smiling at her adorable actions, I called out to Sieg-san.

[Isnt it fine if you take a nap here, right?]

[That is a very tempting proposition.]

[Ahh, before that]

[Whats the matter? Kaito-sa Eh?]

I thought it was just the right time, so I took a small wooden box from my magic box the music box that I had made for Sieg-san, and handed it to her.

Sieg-sans eyes widened as if she was completely struck unprepared by the situation, and dumbfounded, she stared at the music box she received.

[This is?]

[Errr, a music box.]

[Music box? Eh? However, didnt you give this to Lili]

[Ah, yes. Of course, this is different from the one I gave to Lilia-san. Ummm, you see, Sieg-san has always been a great help to me, and since you also helped me with that previous situation This is my grat.i.tude.]

Hearing my words, Sieg-san exchanges glances between my face and the music box over and over again.

The music box I gave to Sieg-san is different from the one I gave to Lilia-san, and is made of emeralds and other green jewels.

When it was opened, the magic crystal lit up, and with the mechanism written in it, a tree and a bow emerged, the emblem of the Elves.

Well, I didnt have enough time and didnt know where to go, so Im using jewels that I bought at the store but

The song was also composed by Alice to suit Sieg-san. The song makes one feel like theyre in a vast, lush wilderness. It kind of reminds me of the folk songs back in my world.

[Can I really have it? I mean, I didnt really help you that much]

[Not at all. You have been taking care of Bell and Lynn while I was busy, and you even gave me food to eat while I was working. Thanks to you, I was able to work hard. Thank you so much.]

[!?]

When I honestly expressed my heartfelt grat.i.tude, Sieg-san looked surprised, and yet very happy, holding the music box I gave her with both hands and hugging it tightly in front of her chest, as if it was something precious.

[Thank you. I will cherish it.]

[Yes.]

[This is, errm, what should I do I feel so happy that I cant get the words out of my mouth.]

Her cheeks blus.h.i.+ng and some tears blotting from her eyes, Sieg-san moved her gaze several times as if shes searching for words, but in the end, she still didnt know what to say, so she looked down once, shook her head, and then, gently leaned her head on my shoulder.

As her beautiful red hair swayed slightly, when I felt a comfortable weight on my shoulder Sieg-san calmly and softly said.

[I dont want to bother you but Can I fawn on you for a bit? Right now, I feel like I need to be near you.]

[Yes. I wouldnt feel bothered by that at all. Im rather happy about it instead.]

[Thank you.]

Saying that, Sieg-san leans on my shoulder and closes her eyes with a smile on her face.

A comfortable silence pa.s.ses and happiness floods my chest.

[This is happiness.]

[Yes.]

No further words were needed, yes, just feeling peace from the presence of the other by our side, I surrendered my body to the warm suns.h.i.+ne and slightly refres.h.i.+ng breeze.

Dear Mom, Dad Returning back from the summer resort, I thought it was a good time to give my thanks to the people who have helped me out before. Starting with Sieg-san- I conveyed my grat.i.tude.
