Oh,welcome back boss.....ah, Danna-sama Nyah! "
Returning home, a cat-eared maid is sitting in front of the entrance.
What are you even doing... Geez, this girl.
Did she screw something up?.
"I’m home, Rinia. By the way, what are you doing sitting in a place like this?"
"Nya-ha-ha... just a little failure, it's to reflect on myself......"
Rinia's ears are hanging low on her head, looks like she is dejected.
"I understand."
Let’s leave her reflecting on herself.
Passing by her, I enter the house.
"I’m home---!"
There, Lucy pokes her face from behind the door in the living room towards me.
Ah, I wonder if she's going to run away again.
And just while i was thinking that, she suddenly leaps from behind the door.
With steps sounding like “Taptaptap”, she jumps on my legs. [9]
"Welcome home papa!"
I wonder what happened .
Her welcome is warm today.
"Ah, what happened, Lucy?"
Embracing my leg without changing her position, she is hidden behind me, clinging onto my robe.
Someway or other, her distance towards me is unusually close today.
Papa is happy.
"Mama! Papa is back---!"
"Yeah, I know, wait a second!"
"Mama~!"
Sylphy's voice could be heard from the bathroom.
Doing the laundry, or cleaning the bathtub.
Afterwards, Lucy called Sylphy several times more. Before long she reached her limit and let go of my robe. "Taptaptap", she runs to the bathroom.
What was it I wonder....
Well, don’t think too much about it. This is what children do.
Usually I always go straight towards Lucy. It’s fine if she comes to me once in a while. Let’s consider Lucy's feelings.
While I think so, I wander around the house.
I find Leo and Lara in the living room.
Lara is sleeping soundly in a peaceful mood.
She is also healthy-looking today.
Continuing towards the kitchen, I found Lilia preparing ingredients for cooking. [10]
Her face looks a bit worn-out.
I wonder what happened?
"Lilia-san, I’m home!"
"Welcome back, Danna-sama" [11]
"Are you tired?"
"No"
Even though she said so, Lilia's face looks really tired.
"Why don't you take a rest for a bit?"
"It’s not a problem."
"Really?"
"Yes."
If the person herself says so, it's probably okay.
I wonder what is causing her such trouble.
"If your condition today is a bit under the weather please take a rest, don't you want to take a rest for a bit? "
"Thanks for your concern. But really, this is not a big problem."
If Lilia says so, then I will believe her.
However, if it’s not her body, maybe it was mental fatigue.
It might be some anxiety.
