52 – Tea Party (1/2)

When I opened the door, Tina was together with Rosetta.

「Ah, Rosetta and Tina. Thanks for coming. Please come in.」

「Thanks!」 Rosetta said.

「Sorry for intruding」

This is the second time Rosetta was visiting my room.

However, this is the first for Tina.

Thus, Tina was acting a little nervous. This was probably the first time she was entering into a friend’s room.

As Rosetta and Tina entered,

「Meeee, Meeeee」

Shiro cried in a protesting way. Then, he started head-butting Rosetta and Tina alternating between the two.

He seemed to have really wanted to eat snacks at the cafeteria.

Even though it was a protest, Shiro was head-butting them gently.

「Are you welcoming us, Shiro-chan? Thank you!」

「Shiro-chan looks as healthy as always」

Rosetta and Tina didn’t seem to realize Shiro was protesting instead.

Shiro has always been head-butting everybody for every little thing.

It can’t be helped that Rosetta and Tina thought it was a welcoming head-butt.

Rosetta and Tina crouched and pet Shiro.

「Shiro-chan is so cute」

「Shiro-chan, I brought some snacks! Do you want it?」 Tina said.

「Meee…ee?」

Shiro, who was protesting with head-butts, stopped in response to Tina’s words, and started fluttering its short tail intensely.

「Will-sama, can we invite Arti too?」

「Of course, but is Arti in her room right now?」

At the same time, Shiro rushed out the opened door.

「Shiro-chan?」

「I wonder what happened?」

Rosetta and Tina were perplexed.

ーbangbangbang

「Meemeemee」

Shiro was crying out while lightly head-butting the door of the neighbouring room, in other words Arti’s room.

「S-Shiro, you shouldn’t do that. You are troubling Arti」

Arti just finished an intense practice with me a while ago. There is a possibility she was sleeping.

Even if she was awake, she might be tending to her duties from Salvation Organization.

I hurriedly picked up Shiro in an embrace.

But, I was too slow. Arti came out from her room.

「…do you need something?」

「Mee」

Shiro was apparently crying out to Arti, so we can eat snacks together.

Rosetta said towards Arti.

「Arti, I was just about to invite you」

「We were about to have some… snacks, so we were wondering if… you would like to… join us?」

Tina said a little nervously.

She might be worried that Arti would reject her invitation.

「Thank you for inviting me, I would like to join you」

「Mee!」

Shiro, whom I was holding in my arms, cried out delightedly.

After that, all of us returned to my room.

Before brewing the tea, I faced Shiro towards me.

Then, I looked him straight in the eyes.
