Family's Girls' Meeting
"Lately, Light doesn't seem to be paying much attention to us, does he? Is this what you call a [malaise period]?"
Lida Onee-sama said this as she brought the cookie placed on the table to her mouth. Now we're having a little family tea party before bed. Onii-sama is training covert skills with Silk-san tonight.
"Well... lately I've been rejected more and more when I invite him..."
Mother also says this, sounding somewhat lonely.
"No, you guys are asking too much. You should give Master a little more care."
Ginko-chan said that and scolded Mother and Lida Onee-sama. Is that so? It's been a week.
"We didn't have a vacation this year, so I'm craving for it..."
Lida Onee-sama said that, looking a little embarrassed.
"Yes, Ginko-chan is right. Even though I'm at this age, I've become greedy."
Mother answered and patted Ginko-chan's head.
Since that incident in the [Demon Forest], Onii-sama has been feeling more and more anxious. I often see him thinking about something, worrying about something, and sighing as if he can't come to a conclusion.
"I think Onii-sama is probably worried about Fran-san. Since Fran-san started her education as a queen, he has become more and more absent-minded…"
I also took a cookie and brought it into my mouth. After I washed it down with tea, I remembered Fran-san.
When we had tea at a cafe a few days after returning from the [Demon Forest], Fran-san sounded somewhat lonely as she talked about the beginning of her education.
"Ah... I see. It's certainly worrisome......"
"What about Fran-chan? Is Rain able to talk to her properly?"
I shook my head at Mother's question.
"It seems like she's busy taking care of the juniors and working on the student council, and we haven't been able to talk much since the education started. I don't think Onii-sama can talk to her much..."
"I see... that must be painful for Danna-sama."
"Yeah. Onii-sama, looking at Fran-san from afar, seems very lonely. I also feel sad when I see that..."
After Mother took a sip of the tea, she also had a sad expression on her face. Mother also liked Fran-san, so I could understand why she was worried.
"Even though they have mutual feelings... why can't they get along well...?"
Lida Onee-sama also muttered that with a difficult look on her face.
That's right. Because both Onii-sama and Fran-san liked each other, they suppressed their own desires, considered each other's position, and withdrew from each other.
"Humans are too caught up in boring ties. Master is also a demon king, so it's fine to just take her away without worrying about it."
Ginko-chan crossed her arms and said this with a slightly shocked expression on her face.
"Onii-sama doesn't like the idea of that..."
Onii-sama hates the idea that Ginko-chan says that because he is the Demon King, he should do it that way.
I somehow think that's the reason why the Demon King and the Hero were at odds.
"Mu... I understand... I was just trying to say it."
Ginko-chan seems to have reflected on my muttering.
However, I also understand Ginko-chan's thinking a little bit. If only one of them could be more selfish, the two of them would be able to be together. That is the frustration we are feeling right now.
I couldn't help but look up at the ceiling and pray.
Remembering the face of God who I vowed that I would remain by Onii-sama's side at that time, I prayed that Onii-sama and Fran-san would be united......
