39 So far, Ive had a quiet talk. (1/2)

I met Leo for the first time when I was five years old.

I'd just turned 5 years old.

I remember when my dad and mom took me to the City of the Brave on their visit to the Demon Forest.

The first time I saw Leo, he looked so grown up that he didn't look at all like he was my age.

So, the first time I talked to Leo, I tried my best to act like an adult by using honorific language.

But when I actually talked to him, he was so easy to talk to that I stopped using honorifics right away.

The first present I got from Leo was a beautiful necklace.

This necklace has the ability to help my magic grow, and it has increased my magic level tremendously.

It's my most precious treasure that I now wear absolutely everywhere.

And the first gift I gave Leo was a mithril necklace and the magic stone I put my magic into every day.

With it, Leo used his creative magic to make a beautiful necklace.

This necklace was amazing.

I could talk to him from a distance.

It made me so happy that I could hear Leo's voice every day.

The first time I got angry with him was when he went into the dungeon without telling me and I couldn't telepathize for almost a month.

I was so depressed that Leo hated me until Damien told me that he went to the dungeon.

Then Damien-san taught me some magic to cheer me up.

Damien's practice was very hard for me.

But I was looking forward to seeing Leo when he came back, and I did my best.

When he came back, I was able to cast the spell until I was satisfied.

Also, the first time I was worried about Leo was when Lena came.

I was worried when I heard Leo was going to entertain the saint's grandson.

I just didn't know why I was worried about what.

And when I heard Leo happily telegraphing Lena's story, I felt sad, as if my worries had been answered.

I couldn't bear the sadness, so I turned off the telepathic communication.

The next day, I hid in bed instead of leaving the room.

I think I was crying.

But then someone came knocking at the door.

At first I thought it was the maid who came to worry me, so I told her I didn't want to talk to anyone right now and told her to leave.

But

Would you like to come over to my house now?

I heard Leo's voice.

I hurriedly wiped my tears away and checked my face in the mirror before opening the door.

”What are you doing here?

That's why I came to see Sherry.

I think Leo is lying to me.

Really?

I stared at him.

'Ho, really? Well, um, I had to run some errands for my uncle, so I came along.

Sure enough, Leo had another reason: ....

'Heh, I'm just along for the ride, aren't I?

I was so sad I couldn't show it, but I was so sad.

Leo came rushing over to apologize.

''I'm sorry, and for that, please forgive me because the emperor gave me permission to take Shelly home.

I wasn't ready to forgive him, but I was going to go to Leo's house anyway if I could.

'Well, I'll go anyway, and then I'll figure out if I'll forgive you.

Okay, I understand.

Then I'll be on my way.

With that, I started walking in the direction of the carriage.

Then I saw ....

'There's no need for that,'

Then Leo grabbed my hand.

I was so upset.

What are you doing?

And then I blushed .

It's embarrassing to remember now: ....

And when I went to Leo's house, I saw Leena.

Leena has golden hair and is very beautiful.

She seemed to be aware of me, so I decided to talk to her alone.

Leena was the one who spoke first.

When did Shelly first meet you, Leo?

I don't understand the question, but I answered honestly.
