Iya, but if I really do separate myself….Chester is bound to become troublesome without a doubt.
However, I cannot say it. This was because Cheryl finally──at least in appearance──had behavior fitting of her age. There should be some kind of reason as for why she had been influenced by insanity a while ago. I want to fill that in that gap in her heart and bury it.
「No, I do not dislike it….」
「….Then, I’ll stay here.」
And thus, I couldn’t peel her off.
….It’s been said that a man can’t win against females and tears, and even more so when it’s a combination of both.
When I patted Cheryl’s head, she blushed happily, and squinted in joy.
….And as a result, Chester gnashed his teeth when he witnessed it.
I should say what I want to do. Is this the 「In a dilemma, unable to satisfy both sides」situation? Teacher’s words, ‘there are many things that one isn’t accustomed to’, really fit the situation right now.
If it was me from my youth, I wouldn’t have paid attention to Cheryl at all, since my teacher would have just hit my mouth.
While reminiscing the old days, I half resigned myself. Saying it otherwise, can’t I do anything else but reminisce the old days?… Pathetic.
「Please excuse me, your meal is──w, what is this situation」
Rinetto came in, wheeling a cart of food. Her first words when she came in were understandable, after all, the scene before her was hard to understand.
Ahh it doesn’t matter, this was unexpected help. As long as there was a meal, I should be able to get away from Cheryl.
「Well done Rinetto! Hey Cheryl, the meal came.
How about you separate from that guy and go eat? Like, right now」
Chester now had a reason to pull the person with a doubt origin from his granddaughter, and Rinetto looked like the sun.
Okay, I can’t eat a meal when you’re embracing me.
A face devoid of sympathy turned towards my way. There was a wanting to see his grandchild not being swayed by my presence.
──But, Chester….no, both Chester and I knew that it was a weak request.
「Slava-kun feed me, please….」
With blushing cheeks, Cheryl said this calmly.
