My name is Theodore La Christophe

3rd year of the Ovent Kingdom’s Royal Eleht in the future

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

When the classes end, I walk together with ht home

When the classes end, o immediately home

Because htly different

The reason e immediately return home is to play with our imouto that was born this year quickly

When she was just born, I thought she looked like a Rashi+d Monkey

Kaasa kawaii, kawaii, but Ellie and I didn’t find her so cute

I mean, she looks like a Rashi+d Monkey, you know?

I have never found the red-faced little row bristles are cute

When I talked with Ellie about that, she was of the same opinion as I expected

But, I soon understood thebehind Kaasama’s and Tousama’s words, such cuteness can’t be described ords

Because Ellie is only two years younger than s, Ellie was not a baby anymore I have not seen other babies than Lily

Naturally, Ellie is the same

I have heard froe

Because I have not understood the e, I have further inquired from Kaasama

“The baby died and wasn’t born”

Her sorrowful face strongly reured I shouldn’t ask about Ena’s baby anyht, and we have made a prohtly afraid to touch Lily as a baby for the first time

When I tirasped er into her tiny hands

It was tiny and frail, extremely war iht she wasn’t cute just a while ago, I thought that floere blooel

The eight years old I was captured by her in an instant

Ellie who always acts like a grown up, an honor student in front of schooler smile on her face than the smile she has when she takes care of her beloved flower bed

Since that day, we are going immediately home after the classes end, and spend time beside Lily until it’s time to sleep

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

It was on a certain day

I asked Kaasama about Lily’s eyes which were different from mine, I noticed that they hite, and looked cloudy

I was told that Lily’s eyes are cloudy because of an illness

When I asked what illness it was, Kaasama’s expression beca I shouldn’t have so I regret, but this concerns my dear imouto, so I must hear it properly

I fixedly stare at Kaasama and wait for an answer

After a while of silence, Kaasa

She suffers from “Cloudy Eyes” which makes Lily unable to see for her whole life, she said

I felt a complete darkness appear in front of my eyes

“Lily is unable to see for her whole life”

Kaasa, but I can’t remember

Then, my dear imouto, can’t see mine, Ellie’s, Kaasama’s, Tousama’s and Ena’s faces?

She can’t see arden nor the ornahts ran through my mind, but I wasn’t able to think

My head becath in my body, and before I noticed I was in bed

According to Kaasama, I went doith a fever in the middle of a conversation about Lily’s illness

Even now, my head hurts and my face is hot

I have apparently stayed in the bed for a whole day, so I was absent fro down, Lily’s face floated in my mind and disappeared, floated and disappeared repeatedly

In the evening, when Ellie returned, Kaasama went out of the room for a bit and Ena came to take a look at my state

At that time, Ena and Ellie were very excited

Before I tried to ask for the reason, Ellie who normally talks slowly and quietly, told me in a loud voice rapidly

Unexpectedly, Lily who norh, doesn’t cry nor doesn’t talk, let out a happy voice when Ena was reading her a book

Moreover, it was the book I have read her over and over again before

“The Complete Works of the World’s Ornamental Leaf Trees”

It was that one

When I heard that, my fever was blown soor and shook with Ellie’s shoulders in order to confirm

My startled imouto repeatedly nodded with her eyes open wide like a broken doll

I couldn’t stop afterward

I have disregarded Ena’s words to keep on laying down in the bed, what about this book, what about that book, I have taken out many books about trees, shrubs, and ornamental trees froan taking out books she loves from her own bookshelf

This too, that too, o made a lot of fuss

The as very well, but you still have to get in the bed, you know? You can read her books after you get better」

With those words, I finally calhtly e, but I was so excited it was hard to fall asleep again

That day, in the bed

「Lily likes ornamental leaf trees just like me」
