Emilia’s roommate is before my eyes, and Reus’ roommate is totally obedient, since he is Reus’ underling. And since I live alone in Diamond Cottage, the disguise attempt is perfect. There probably won’t be any issues with all three of us staying.
Reese had bright eyes when she heard my words, as she expressed her joy while clinging to Senia. If this were Emilia, she would probably be vigorously swinging her tail.
“Hime-sama, shall we go in soon? Although your physical condition has recovered, you are still recuperating.” (Senia)
“That is true. Everyone, come on in and let’s take a rest.” (Lifell)
“Sorry, I intend to wait for those two outside.” (Sirius)
I confirmed their location using [Search], and found that they were traveling at considerably high speeds. They will probably arrive in about 30 minutes.
“They are running here as per my instruction. Rather than resting inside, I want to greet them properly, as a Shishou should.” (Sirius)
“I, I want to greet them too. Emilia and Reus are only running here because of me.” (Reese)
“Is that so? If that’s the case, I will accompany you guys too. Melt, can you bring table and chairs please? Senia, please prepare tea. We will wait here while watching the full moon with everyone.” (Lifell)
“It can’t be helped then. I’ll go prepare it, but please put on something.” (Senia)
“Understood. Incidentally, why don’t we have a meal here? According to the chef, the meal will be ready soon.” (Melt)
“That’s not a bad idea. Shall we have dinner party here?” (Lifell)
I initially had planned only to wait for the two siblings, but before I knew it plans for a dinner party were in the works. Well, I suppose it couldn’t hurt. It would be good for cheering up Reese; a fun celebration with friends and family following the dismal ceremony she just escaped from.
Once it was decided, Reese went to get changed out from her wedding dress into plain clothing, while tables and chairs for everyone were prepared. Then, we waited for the siblings while drinking tea.
Melt and Senia had a pleasant conversation, while subtly positioning Reese between the two of them. Princess Lifell made jokes about the need for me to take responsibility as a man for various things. Eventually, I picked up on the presence of the siblings as they drew near.
Soon after, Senia and Melt both turned their heads in the direction the two were approaching from. Senia’s ears twitching makes her seem indeed rabbit-like.
“Judging from the sounds that I can hear… there are two people? That number is too small for pursuers, right?” (Senia)
“It’s alright, you’re hearing Reus and Emilia.” (Sirius)
“But aren’t they unusually fast? I could hardly think of moving that fast through the forest.” (Senia)
“It is because the forest doesn’t pose a challenge for those two. Look, they’ve come already.” (Sirius)
As I point my hand, Emilia jumps out with a large gust of wind from the forest. Her flowing silver hair shines, reflecting the moonlight.
She landed splendidly, as the breeze blows past her and she smiled at me.
“Thank you for waiting, Sirius-sama.” (Emilia)
“Aah, thank you for your hard work.” (Sirius)
She cheerfully closed her eyes and wagged her tail when I patted her head. She seemed to be sweating a little, but judging from her appearance there are neither wounds nor dirt.
Next up was Reus, who jumped out from the forest several seconds later after Emilia. He immediately switched to a look of frustration, as he noticed that Emilia had beaten him here.
“Dang it! Nee-chan is still fast!” (Reus)
“Huhuhu… I won’t yield to Reus in terms of speed. The privilege of being patted by Sirius-sama is mine.” (Emilia)
Were you guys being unusually fast because you were competing against each other? It seems that they were fighting for a chance to be pet by me, without my knowledge. Since Reus came closer with his tail wagging when I beckoned him over, I roughly brushed his head.
