48 48. Arias Jealousy (2/2)

A girl in a maid's uniform came up behind her.

The girl spoke in a masculine way, but the atmosphere showed that she was well brought up.

However, the fact that she was looking for a tourist attraction meant that she did not live in the capital. He may be a local nobleman.

In that sense, he may be in the same position as me.

Please don't go on your own.

”Huh, sorry. I was just talking to this girl. I was just talking to this girl. She said the clock tower is not that interesting.

That's what I would have told you in the beginning. ......

”You did?　I'm sorry, I didn't know what you meant.

That's all right, but I don't want you to go off on your own.

Yeah, okay. I'm thirsty, so go to ...... and get me a drink at that cafe.

That's fine, but don't move alone, okay?

Sure.

The girl in the maid's uniform gave a piercing look and headed towards the cafe where we had just been.

The girl looks away.

”See you, boy.

No, you said to wait for you now, right?

No, you told me to wait now. What do you think we're here for?

I don't know. ......

I don't know.

Laughing, the girl leaves.

After all, she has no intention of waiting for the girl in the maid's uniform.

I felt like a free man.

Dr. Schweizer, who was that?

”Oh, he was just asking for directions.

Iris, who had gone ahead of me, came back to me.

Iris, who had gone ahead of me, came back to me. She and Aria must have gone to the market first, but I was too late.

”Where's Aria?

”She's on her way to the market. I told her I had to wait for the doctor, but she went ahead of me. ......

Oh, I see. ....... Well, we'll follow him, then.

In Aria's opinion, she wanted to show how close she was with Iris by asking me out on a date.

I'm not sure I can understand why she would be sulking if Iris was only prioritizing me.

...... Speaking of which, sir...

Yes, what is it?

Do you have someone you like?

Someone you like?

What?　Please don't misunderstand me!　Well, I guess you could call it a date. ....... I think it's okay if people see me like this.　If there is such a person, ......

I'm not sure what to say. You're very uptight, Iris.

Stiff, huh?

I'm only twelve, after all.

No, I think it's normal for someone of that age to have a crush or two.

What was it like when you were twelve, Iris?

...... At that time, I was all about the sword.

So, does that mean you're here now?

No!　It's not like that!

It's not like that!” Iris denied me with a strong tone.

I thought it was going to be some kind of relationship advice, but it doesn't seem to be that way.

If Iris has a crush on someone, she's going to have a tough time with Aria.

Then we don't have to worry about each other, do we? Well, if the students of the school see us, they might misunderstand us, but Aria is also there.

”Yes, that's true. I'm sure you'll be fine if the two of you are together, Aria?

Iris looks at me as if she has noticed something.

When I met her gaze, I saw Aria chasing a man.

I couldn't understand what was going on, but at least I could tell that it wasn't a normal situation.

That's .......

”It's a thief!　Somebody catch me!

A shouting man's voice reached our ears, and Iris and I understood the situation.
