152 Silent talk 8. Meet again after a long time. (1/2)

SIDE: Sherry.

The night I visited Leo's mentor

Leo went to Sister Elle's by himself.

Of course I wanted to go with you, right?

And, but I owe Sister Elle a lot of things: ...... Yes, I owe her zero for this!

So now I'm watching Leo and his friends through the monitor with Leena and Belle.

It's not that I'm watching them, I'm not thinking of doing anything weird or monitoring them.

With that excuse running through my head, I'm going to check on Leo when he arrives at the castle.

He's just arrived at the Elle and Lou's place.

Huh?　I don't remember Lou sticking around so much for sister Elle.

I thought it was just me, but it wasn't. ...... Come to think of it, it's been just the two of us living together since we got home. That's right, I've missed it.

Well ...... it's been a while!

Leo scratched his forefinger on his cheek with a pollywheel, making things awkward.

Besides, as soon as he did, Sister Elle opened her mouth.

”It's been a long time since I've seen ...... ”Leo! That's right. Oh, Lou!

But Lou hugged Leo first, and then he interrupted me.

Oh, my God. Leo, I'm so lucky to be alive.

Hmmm. Lou had those feelings for Leo.

I didn't think you'd be worried enough to cry.

Lou, I'm sorry you had to worry. Um... ...... Are you coming, Elsie?

Leo was puzzled by Lou's condition, but he extended his hand towards Sister Elle, who lost her timing when Lou beat him to it .

'I've already ...... lots to complain about, but for now I'll let you.

Gus, really, really, really, I was so worried about you not waking up for three days that I couldn't sleep, you know?　Ugh, ugh~

Elle, who hugged Lou, began to cry vigorously as she attached herself to Leo.

After all, even the strong-minded sister Elle cried.

She wasn't able to watch over him closely like I was, and she must have been really worried.

I'm sorry. I'll do whatever you say later, please forgive me.

Leo was so upset by the tears of Sister Elle that he said the worst thing he should not have said to her.

I'll do whatever you say, Sister Elle is really asking for a lot of forgiveness. .......

Oh ...... Leo. What did I say to you .......

'Gus, did you just say ...... anything?　Okay. Just be prepared for that, okay?

I knew it: ....... Elle, I'm going to ask you for a huge favor.

Oh, I wish I could go stop her. But I can't do it from this distance.

Okay. Okay. I'll be prepared for that. Just cry until you can get away with it.

At Elle's words, Leo seemed to realize the gravity of his words, but for now, he decided to just think about comforting them for now .

Haha, it's too late. Now I can only hope that this is a request I don't envy.

Well, I don't think that wish will work.

About five minutes passed and they finally stopped crying.

”Thank you very much. That's all right. So, let's have dinner.

Yeah. Look, Lou, it's rice.

No!　I don't want to leave you yet. Leo will take you.

As Sister Elle stepped away and Leo tried to move along with her, a surprising word came out of Lou's mouth .

Huh?　Lou, I'm starting to say that now!

And where did he learn those spoiled eyes ......?

...... I get it.

Well, it's a big deal for Lou to say this much: ...... I'll forgive you for today.

Come on, sit down.

When they arrived at the dining room and Leo tried to get Lou to sit down next to him, he shook his head in a frenzy.

'No!　I like it on Leo's lap!

Huh?　Is this really Lou?

It's like watching a really small child?

What?

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of the situation.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm going to be able to help you out. I've become.

Ehhhh . Oh, but I might have gone crazy if I found out Leo had collapsed and didn't see him for six days: .......

On the other hand, sister Elle is great at keeping her mind clear.

'Yeah, I don't know if that's true: ....... I knew Lou had some kind of trauma from losing someone important before, right?　And the last time you went crazy, it was in response to your loneliness, right?

Yeah, when we told her that demons have a long lifespan and that we'd die faster than she did.

That was crazy, too.

Yes. I wonder if there's been some kind of trauma. Maybe it has something to do with amnesia: ......

Did something so shocking happen that you had to wipe it out yourself?
