That night.

Lelia called her friends and said, "So... I have to go back to the Imperial City."

The four of them had mixed reactions to Lelia's words.

Romeo frowned and asked, "Are you going to the Imperial Castle again?" while Griffith sighed.

Kalix only rubbed the area where he was hit earlier, perhaps because he had no thoughts.

And Oscar...

"Oscar?"

"......"

He was so quiet that Lelia felt anxious.

Oscar has been expressionless and silent like a doll for days.

He was closing his lips like a person who was holding back something, and she was scared of it.

"Let's go together."

Oscar, who had been silent all along, muttered in a low voice. Romeo nodded at the words.

"Okay, let's go together."

"We all have nothing to do and we have a lot of time."

At those humble remarks, Lelia smiled quietly and looked at her friends.

To be honest, Lelia had no reason to refuse if her friends wanted to go with her.

Rather, it would be reassuring. Maybe that is what she wanted.

"Are you sure you'll be okay? Can you really go with me?"

When asked by Lelia, Romeo laughed as if he had heard a joke.

"The captain is going. Can the pawns not go?"

"......"

When Lelia looked a little touched by the words, Romeo continued.

"Instead, there's a condition. You'll call us brother while we are there."

"What?"

Romeo looked firm in his sideways glance.

At that time, Romeo's head suddenly fell forward.

Kalix pushed the back of his head down.
"Hey, you idiot. You're always talking about me as an older brother. Even if he dresses like this, he still has male self-esteem. Go easy. Huh?

"......"

Romeo looked at Kalix with pathetic eyes.

"You, stop it."

If he could, he (Kalix) would like to punch Romeo in the back of his head the same way he experienced, but he had already been beaten by Lelia once and his conscience wouldn't let him hit Romeo again.

And even though he is in such a situation, he still believes that Lellia is a man.

And he felt a little sorry for him...

"......"

Lelia didn't even care anymore.

Earlier, she scolded Kalix and said several times that she was a woman, but it didn't work.

What Kalix saw with his own eyes was an illusion that he couldn't doubt.

So... she decided to let it go.

She couldn't take off her clothes and show him in person.

"When are you leaving?" Griffith asked.

"I'm going to be back as soon as possible. I'll see my grandmother tomorrow and leave the day after tomorrow. Will that be okay?
