I'm back."
"..."
While carrying Luke, I entered the house and Eris came to welcome me.
Though she made a happy face once she saw my face, but when seeing Luke her eyebrows frowned and she crossed her arms.
"...That guy, was he an acquaintance?"
"Ah, rather than mine, he was more like Sylphy's colleague."
"I, I see...sorry, I hit him."
Oho, somehow Eris was quite meek.
"It's fine. Surely this guy must have said something strange."
"He did."
"Then this guy was the bad one."
He laid his hand on my Eris, this guy did.
But even if he was bad, for now I will lay him down.
Hm, he'd be a hindrance in the living room...,let's throw him into an empty room on the first floor for now.
"Hey, Rudeus."
But I was stopped by Eris.
"What is is, Eris?"
"Does Rudeus also think about kissing my hand?"
I looked at Eris's hand.
It was a rough hand, full of sword calluses.
It was a good hand that suited Eris.
"Rather than that, I want to eat it up."
Saying that, my stomach got hit by Eris.
There was not much power in it, but it was a precise liver blow.
"That sort of thing, is only at night."
With a flushed face, Eris went back to the living room.
I see, I see, so today was Eris's day.
I'm looking forward to it.
"Ah right, where are the others? Did everyone go out?"
"They are still asleep, because we stayed up late yesterday!"
What's this, stayed up late.
A party without me?
So one worth to leave someone out?[7]
...So during the time I was walking the flowery path of man to man, a meeting of woman to woman was held.
I hope they didn't badmouth each other so...
"Ah, Onii-chan, welcome backー"
Then Aisha came out of the kitchen.
"Who is that...it's Luke-sama. What happened?"
"Aisha. It's fine to not use -sama for Luke."
"But Norn-ane said that if you didn't call Luke as Luke-sama, the female senpais would get angry."
"You serious."[8]
So there were such agreements.
But to think they made such strange rules in the school.
And then they'd bully the ones who didn't uphold that.
Norn was giving it her all to not get bullied.
...It couldn't be that the person Norn liked was Luke, right.
Onii-chan won't allow that, you know?
"Ah right, hear me out Onii-chan. Everyone is terrible. After I went to bed, everyone was drinking alcohol and being noisy."
"Ah, so you didn't participate in that."
"I was sleeping together with Leo...ah, and also listen to this, Onii-chan. While I was sleeping with Leo and when morning came I thought it was somewhat chilly, Leo wet the bed. When I scolded him, he was whimpering, whimpering you know. Even though Leo looks grown up, he's still a child."
Aisha seemed to enjoy every day.
As I carried Luke to an empty room, I decided to listen to Aisha's story.
I felt like I didn't hold that many conversations with her.
No, that couldn't have been.
"Then, what happened next? Did you wash it?"
"Of course. Ah, then Eris-ane helped me out. Because I had that experience myself, she would keep silent. She didn't believe me when I tried explaining that I didn't do it. Onii-chan should also explain it. In addition, I have never wet the bed in my whole life..."
"I see, I see."
While talking with Aisha, we moved to the living room.
There was nothing better than Eris getting familiar with us.
