Chapter 89 (2/2)

「…… What is it? I’ll answer if I can.」

So please say it quickly.

I didn’t say it out loud, but it definitely resonated on my mind.

「If you allow me to ask… Do you have something to do with Sakura-sama?」

My heart bounced.

Indeed, Aria and Chiffon are pretty good… Why are they so sharp…?

While cursing in my mind, I answered with a cool facade.

「There is nothing though? Why would you think that?」

This was a question I would regret if I hadn’t asked.

「I could feel a strange feeling ever since the day Sedrim denka returned from Sakura-sama’s house…」

…… Was I that obvious? I was certain that I had only grinned to myself when I was alone, but I think I was careful around others. But both Aria and Chiffon noticed it… Should I have been more careful?

「…… Isn’t it just on your head? I was just going to eat, as usual.」

「Is that so? With all due respect, there was a really festive air around you, so I thought that there might be something… Maybe a secret meeting or similar…」

Do they all know of it…? No, Chiffon was working yesterday, so she shouldn’t have had time to meet Sakura, it’s probably just guesswork.

It is pretty incredible to guess right like that…

Was I really that much more cheerful? Or is Chiffon just really sharp? In any case, I have to be more careful.

「If your imagination was the only issue, then I’ll take my leave. I have some business to solve.」

「…… I have no excuses for stopping you, I apologize.」

Her voice seemed unsatisfied, but she backed down anyway, as a member of the royalty cut down the conversation. I don’t feel well with it, but please let me use my status this time.

As I felt Chiffon’s eyes on my back, I couldn’t help walking away in a brisk pace.

Sedrim nii-sama is looking funny…. Ever since he came back from Sakura-chan’s house, he became quite cheerful.

At first I thought it was all on my mind, but I could notice it. He appeared normal in public, but as soon as he thought there was no one near, he instantly made a big grin.

…… There was definitely something happening… A woman is definitely involved.

If some progress happens between those two, it definitely cannot happen away from our eyes! I’ll be sure to find out what happened!

I was restless during breakfast, I needed to investigate it. I’ll start by asking the person himself. I moved to the corridor near his room and waited, I should be able to question him like this.

Ah, he came. I’ll do it immediately!

He pretends to be normal, but he is clearly on a cheerful mood. Onii-sama, you still have a lot to learn.

He tried pa.s.sing without saying anything, but I stopped him.

Just as expected, as soon as I stopped him, his shoulder twitched with a Pikuri8… Do you really intend to hide it like that?

「Sedrim Nii-sama, are you hiding something?」

「What are you talking about? Am I the kind to hide things…」

Mou, already discovered…? Your voice already started trembling with just that, your attempts to hide it are pretty cute…

「Did you think I wouldn’t notice? Yesterday, and on the day before, you looked really strange, is it something about Sakura-chan?」

Then, please raise a white flag already.

「It’s all on your head. I was pretty normal, you’re misunderstanding.」

Haa… Isn’t his voice is trembling even more?

「… I see, you’ll keep saying you don’t know anything?」

「If there isn’t anything else, I’ll take my leave.」

Is that so…. I would prefer to solve it peacefully, but it seems like there is no other way.

「… Understood, I’m sorry for stopping you..」

「No, I don’t mind it..」

Fufufu, and he thinks he successfully deceived me, he is so sweet…

Well, I should report it to Okaa-sama. It is still early today, so we should have enough time…

「Okaa-sama, It seems that there was some progress between Sedrim nii-sama and Sakura-chan. Let’s go after them immediately..」

I told Okaa-sama the important part right away. We should also fetch Chiffon, she would like to see this.

It seems Okaa-sama quickly understood the situation, as she immediately went up to check the place he was going.

Of course I’ll go as well, this is a really interesting thing and I’ll definitely not miss it.

Fortunately, we were able to find Chiffon while looking for Onii-sama. Even more fortunately, Chiffon seems to have been talking to Onii-sama until a while ago. Their talk was also about Sakura-chan. As expected she also noticed it. Of course, we will use that information effectively. We immediately rushed to Onii-sama’s location.
