Chapter 81

c81: Same Pair as Always

「I’ve kept you waiting, ojousama」

With Eclair’sresponse, she carried in the latte art that we ordered

The art she put out before Kran was soton

That quality was, a top rate good of such a level that it was like it could be h the sky

When Kran looked at that she leaked a sigh of wonder

In comparison, mine

「……」

――Idiot

It ritten there, concisely

Horrible……

「Did, diid Eclair brew this for more? It, it looks tasty doessn’t it」

Also, surely it’s just ma?

「Just for ojousama, I specially warmed it up for you」

Flame floated on Eclair’s palm

「Tha, thanks……I’ve left some time open so I’ll partake of it then」

「Please take your take」

「Eclair-sama」

As Eclair promptly withdrew Kran told her to wait

At that Eclair turned just her head

「……So pointless was put in」

「For soht, the sort of person ould do such an underhanded act shouldn’t be here」

「……Fun」

「FufuWhen there is another opportunity, I would like to engage in a leisurely conversation with you, Eclair-sama」

As today there’s still the sort ofdiscretion

I feel that with a position like Kran’s aren’t there a number of difficult matters but, as expected of Kran

「You…… Do you not hate Eclair?」

「I have already settled, those sort of feelings」

Like she wassome sort of vow, Kran softly closed her eyes

I understand her situation so much it hurts

I really do want to become a support for this child

I believe that

「That so…… I can respect you but, it doesn’t seem like I can like you」

After facing her gaze toward me for an instant, Eclair left the room

「Kusu, that is a shameTo the contrary I, feel like she is extreh」

「Since Eclair does not have two faces」

From Kran’s position, I suppose that’s a type that mostly doesn’t exist

「Seriously, Alice is a sinful personHow did, you receive the affection of such a person?」

Huh?

Isn’t this strange, I have received the affection of Eclair……have I?

Cohts……

The only person I’ve fought thismy comrades is Eclair issn’t it

What bloo down our endurance in endless conflict is……love?

「Am I, loved?」

I suddenly became anxious

「Let us see with a test」

「Ha――?」

Looking at me from the corner of her eye as I was taken aback, Kran sucked in a massive breath

「Nooo, Alice! This is too bold, for a place like this!!」

「Haa!?」

I heard flurried footsteps at that moment

Having stepped foot in here with great vigor the pure criled me for some reason

「Unclean unclean!! Alice you, idiiiooooott!!」

「Wro, wronn……」

Throat!

Hurts!?

Even though she just put pressure on the front of th

「Because if you do this again, I won’t forgive you okay!?」

As Eclair rubbed against htly teary eyes, I became desperate and nodded in reply

Confir and Eclair quickly leaped out of the room

Almost like a storm

……Somehow, did I

survive

「Haa haa……」

「I see, you are loved are you not?」

Kran nodded while see totally satisfied like she totally understood

「……Kran」

While straightening my clothes, I looked back toward Kran

「What is it?」

Kran ood smile and, tilted her head

「I think that it’s because you do things like that, that you don’t receive affection」

「Aah, that makes sense」

The sche princess-sama hit her hand, as if she was impressed

In the end Kran left after drinking her tea and enjoying a period of conversation with me

During that tireet us but, in the end she didn’t talk about Eclair at all

Just what did she come here to do, really……

Was she bored?

As if, that shouldn’t be the case though

「Uu, cold……」

And so until the sun had co at the store with an at from a cafe to a bar

As expected it also becaht and, my body is cold

Rather than the storefront, would it have been better to wait inside the store?

I’ an overcoat so, it’d be nice if I didn’t catch a cold though

Soain

I looked dohile war my numbed hands with my breath, suddenly a warm overcoat was placed on my shoulders

「……Please wear this」

「Eclair!」

I had waited at the storefront but, come to think of it Eclair freely uses the eo doesn’t she

While putting h the overcoat she put on me from behind, Eclair smiled

「Thank you, Eclair」

「Fun, it’s no big deal, so of this levelSince your body’s condition crumbles quickly」

「That was unsightly of me」

Outside of when Eclair activated her deht

The body’s robustness isn’t just endurance but, I suppose that probably defense or the like is also included isn’t it

With defense 0 I’m as pallid as a child

If I increase et a little better though

「So, what are you doing?」

Eclair stared at me quizzically

Or rather, she looks like she’s asking the surrounding area so she’s probably searching for Kran……

「Kran isn’t here you know」

「Kran, is it……」

Eclair’s aquatic colored eyes narrowed

「Si, since she’s a friend」

「That so」

Leaving an ambivalent answer, Eclair promptly continued onto the road

I frantically followed her

「Is your work already over?」

「That’s rightI have to return and make dinner now」

「Don’t you receive a meal service?」

「Because someone-san was outside, and seemed to be about to freeze okay」

Who is someone-san, and Eclair looked at me

U,up……

「Ah, then I want to make dinner for Eclair! You’re tired from work after all aren’t you」

When I suggested that like it was a great idea, Eclair blew out a sigh

「Alice, you worry tooselfish or……jealous, or sos as well」

While looking down like she was becos

With that I also frantically ith her

「But……I’m, concerned! ……Because it’s no else but, Eclair」

「～～Yyou are!」

Eclair’s face became a little red, she frantically turned her face away

「……Then, today’s s, I’ll call them even for you

you with dinner」

「Haii, thank you very much, Eclair!」

「……Really, since you’re unfair」

Eclair ain

「Eclair?」

「It’s nothing! Alice you, idiot」

「Eeh!?」

With her fierceness taken away I, talked with Eclair about trifling matters on the way back

For that reason, I intruded into Eclair’s room

Eclair borrowed one room of a mansion within a house in the royal capital

Though I call it a mansion, since it’s an other world mansion, it isn’t a tall structure like the ones in my previous world

At theto the extent of three, four floors

The building is not a wood construct but an outstanding item of brick workmanshi+p and, new

Is there concrete being used here?

The floor is flooring though

Since concrete is so that existed since ancient times in my previous world as well, it isn’t that mysterious is it

And to begin with it’s not like my mansion is made from wood either

Those really are different from the countryside aren’t they

「It’s a good house isn’t it」

「Is it? Ma, it’s just about right for living alone I suppose」

Come to think of it I always meet Eclair at the store so, I haven’t intruded on her home before

Since this is first ti a little

Even with that as it is, why is Eclair living alone even though she’s a princess?

U～～n

Sos issn’t she

「Ah, that’s an ice crystal refrigeratorYou have good stuff don’t you, Eclair」

Coredients here, so I tried looking in the kitchen and found sooods

「It’s already exposed and I have no intent to keep it hidden either but, I’ in money you know」

「Since you’re a princess right」

I asked if it was fine to open it and, with her nod I was allowed to check the ingredients
