Springtime of Life
[The rest is the adults' job.]
With that said, I was no longer informed of any further developments.
This is probably Yukikaze-sensei's plan to [live like a child].
"Ask-san!"
Dissatisfaction with being treated like a child
Feeling the worthlessness of not being seen as a force.
After dinner today too, I indulged in reading in the living room.
Well, in such a situation, Mileina couldn't have missed me and called out to me.
"What's going on, late... at... night?"
When I looked up and looked at Mileina, there was... who was next to her?
"Nya, nyaa..."
A woman with a ponytail suddenly starts imitating a cat's meow when our eyes meet.
Ah, it seems like my thoughts have stopped.
I realized who it was after a while by looking at her voice, face, and hair color.
"I understand if you suddenly change your hairstyle, but why are you imitating a cat meowing? Eugenia."
"Nya..."
What?
Why don't you speak?
"Does Ask-san hate cats?"
Mileina answered instead.
"No, I like animals, but I can't understand the situation..."
"So, would a dog be better?"
"What? Is Eugenia imitating an animal in some kind of punishment game?"
"That’s not the case."
"See, it doesn't work after all! What's the point if I imitate a cat!"
Then Eugenia suddenly becomes angry.
I don't understand the situation at all
"Then please excuse us for a moment! Come on, Eugenia-san, over here."
"Ah, wait a minute!"
I don't understand why, but Mileina takes Eugenia's hand and heads towards the girls' dormitory.
"""Please wait for a while!"""
Other girls also disappear as if to follow them.
"What was that?"
Before I knew it, Mac was beside me, confused.
"I can not understand"
"Sorry to have kept you waiting~!"
And Mileina came back at high speed.
"Second part! Please!"
"Yeah..."
This time, it changed from ponytail to twintails
Eugenia appears wearing a dress that makes her look a little childish.
"What do you think, Ask-san?"
"What do you mean?"
"How you felt after seeing Eugenia-san!"
Why do you ask me that?
"Ah... I'm in the way."
Mac seemed to understand something.
"Okay, everyone, let's go back to the room! Mileina-san, I'll leave the girls to you."
"Okay, okay! Alright, let's make time for the two of them."
---
Yeah
Eugenia and I were left alone in the living room.
I can hear the sound of running water coming from the dining room, but no one seems to be eating.
Probably cleaning up the kitchen.
"......"
"......"
There's nothing to talk about
I mean, I don't know what to say.
"…Ask-san."
"What's up?"
"Doesn't it suit me? This outfit."
"No, I think it's cute."
"Is that so…"
And the conversation stops again
What should I do
Isn't it rude to start reading again now?
"Ask-san?"
"Hmm?"
"Are you used to seeing women in dresses?"
"No, I don't think I'm that used to it."
"Do you not meet for dinners or parties?"
No
I don't think the Empire does that much in the first place.
It's not zero though
"Well, actually..."
With that said, she shyly took out a cloth from the luggage at her feet.
…Cloth?
"What do you think about this dress that I borrowed from someone else?"
"I don't think students should wear it."
It's pitch black but it's transparent
From the neck to the waist... I've heard this from Tenrei-sensei.
It is shaped like a naked apron.
"What do you want to do by putting this on you?"
"...That's ...Ask-san."
"What?"
"Will Ask-san be happy if I wear this?"
"…I'll be happy."
"Okay, I'll go get changed now."
"No! That's definitely not possible!"
Like I said, it's not something students should wear.
"Is it not okay?"
"Calm down. Eugenia, calm down."
"T-that's right. It's too unreasonable to wear this without underwear... Then let's move on to the next topic."
"Next topic?"
"Yes, it's the most important thing."
Immediately after that, Eugenia's expression becomes serious.
"Um, Ask-san, do you have a crush?"
"A crush… do you mean the person I like?"
"Yes"
"Not right now.”
“How about something like Mileina-san?"
"Mileina and I are friends, we don't have any more relationship than that."
I have feelings for her, but I can't call them romantic feelings.
Well, that favorability has been decreasing due to this sudden event.
"What about your fiancee?"
"The Empire is basically free love. It's up to the individual to decide who loves whom."
Of course, they're going to be tied together by a measure of logic, humanity, and malice.
"Is that so…"
"What? If so, will Eugenia marry me?"
"With pleasure!"
When I said it as a joke, she replied in high spirits.
"……"
"………………"
""……………………""
Eh?
Are you kidding?
I thought you responded to me with a joke.
"I... um... um..."
"Y-yeah..."
"Um... I... I really like... Ask-san..."
How did this happen!
No, no, no
It's not that I dislike Eugenia.
In fact, I can say that she is the person I like the most.
"W-what's your answer...?"
"Mm, guh… l-let’s get to know each other better for now."
"T-that's right! Let's start with being friends!"
"We're friends now!"
"T-that's right. Um, then..."
"Yeah, well, it's a relationship with marriage in mind."
"T-that's right! Well then, I may be inexperienced, but I look forward to working with you."
"Um, same here. I look forward to working with you."
