After the encounter with Claire, I returned to Cliff's house with a dejected heart.
Right before me, an unbelievable scene was unfolding.
Wow, inside the house Cliff was hugging an unfamiliar woman.
A plain looking woman.
Bright chest-nut colored short hair, freckles on face, short height.
Though she typically looks thin overall, she seems to have a trace of rotundity because of her bashful impression.
She doesn't resemble Elinalize at all.
If Elinalize is like a cat in heat, this person is a castrated dog.
Certainly, there is no resemblance.
It's a lie.
Cliff-senpai.
What, seriously, the person who so strongly lectured me.......
The reason you didn't bring Elinalize along was for the sake of meeting that person?
Were you playing with Elinalize all along?
Even though you have a erotic partner, she still gave birth to your child....don't you feel anything in your heart?
Please say that this is a lie, Cliff-senpai.
After continuing from what happened at the Latreia, if even Cliff-senpai does such a thing, I'll stop believing in anything anymore.
Ah.
Dammit, where is the love.
Sylphy, Roxy, Eris.
Anyone's fine, hold me tight and whisper love to me.
Then I'll be able to persevere for just a bit longer.
"Ah, Rudeus, at the right place. Hey, can you get the box on the top of that shelf? With my height, I can't reach it even if I use a stool."
"Ah, yeah."
By the time it took me to notice, Cliff had already separated from the girl.
It didn't particularly feel like they were blushing.
Only the feeling of supporting someone who has fallen off from the stool.
"Wendy, did you twist your ankle?"
"No, it's fine, thank you."
While hearing such conversation I took down the box that was on top of the shelf.
The dust which wasn't able to shake off during the cleaning the other day was blown off and the box was handed over to Cliff.
"Sorry......I think this is probably it......alright. I'm glad, with this I can somehow make it tomorrow."
Cliff took out some kind of crest from inside the box.
It's a crest of the Milis Religious Organization.
For the work, I guess?
"So Rudeus, what is it? Weren't you supposed to stay at the Latreia House for today?"
While listening to that I set myself on sail.
I really wanted Cliff to listen to today's story.
"Yeah, about that, listen to me will you-----"
