“I really wish I could stay longer, but…”
“It’s fine. Don’t worry about me and just go help Fiiru.”
“Yes…”
Lynette nodded.
“When I have time, I will come again, Fii-sama.”
Again, Fii’s brow was wet with sweat.
(I-, If possible, I’d reaally prefer to know about your visits in advance…)
She definitely didn’t hate being with Lynette, and she was happy that Lynette was worried about her.
But speaking realistically, it was a real problem for her to deal with Lynette’s visits, now that she was an apprentice knight.
“In that case, on days before you visit, could you maybe hang a scarf on a castle balcony that you can see from here?”
“As scarf? Why on earth would…”
Even Fii felt that Lynette’s doubts couldn’t be helped.
“Just knowing that you’re going to visit makes me excited, and if I know a whole day earlier, won’t I get to enjoy the excitement for longer?”
“…………I understand.”
For a moment Fii thought that she had failed, but after a long moment of Silence, Lynette nodded in agreement.
(Thank gooodnesss. Looks like I somehow managed to trick her.)
Now that she had a method of infiltrating this place, Fii could just pretend that she was living here on days that Lynette was coming. Since Lynette seemed to be quite busy, Fii doubted it would be often.
She was confident that she could make do as long as she feigned illness like today.
“Well then, Fii-sama. I will definitely come again, all right?”
“Mn. See you, Lynette!”
As Lynette left, glancing backwards regretfully, Fii waved her hand. After she said goodbye to Fii, Lynette left for the door with a fast pace.
Fii was sure that she had pushed herself just to come here today.
While feeling thankful that Lynette had visited despite her own circumstances, she breathed a sigh of relief at somehow making it through this first visit.
