The Defiance Of A Pair Of Lilies

18 «Preparing to leave»

<Kazuki>

After I had talked to Amelia, I quickly went to the mansion just outside the town. Outside the gate stood Yumi, the girl who's technically my sister as stated by law. Her gaze was piercing, with her eyebrows creasing. She was angry, utterly annoyed with me.

"Took you long enough. I thought you had ran away again after you told me to head back first." She continued to glare at me.

Well, I planned on it, but just gave up...

"Well sorry!"

"Manners."

"I humbly apologize for my actions." I stood straight and spoke in a slightly monotone manner. It was a bit I put in to annoy her.

And it seemed to be successful. Her eyes twitched after she heard the "apology". That's one down in my daily missions!

O...okay...?

"Will you stop standing around and get inside already!" Yumi screams at me, making me jump and rush towards her. Yep, she's totally mad at me.

Upon entering the mansion, I was met with the warm air encased in its walls. It made me feel a lot more warm. Thank those geniuses that I don't need to suffer the winter coldness and I won't need to waste Mana on warming myself. I should totally start learning how to write runes and how to enchant clothing to keep me warm.

"Go to your room and prepare your things. We'll be leaving after we eat lunch." Yumi ordered me, and I playfully responded like a soldier in the military doing a salute.

"Yes ma'am!" I quickly went up the stairs and found my room quite easily. Well, I lived here for the past two months, so of course I would.

Inside, the room looked slightly different from the one I had slept for three weeks in. This room was a bit bigger with a bed that could totally fit more than three people. There was also the desk you'd expect to be covered with some books, and the closet that probably has tiny demon beasts in it. Let's just say it was a pretty simple and spacious room. The only thing not normal for me was the fact that the bed was big. I'm not complaining though, it's really comfortable to sleep in.

Now, I guess it's time to prepare...

Then, as I walked to the closet and opened its doors, I began to scan through all the outfits that have been prepared for me. A bit of them, I was familiar with since I had already worn them in the past. But a lot of them I haven't even seen or touched. Is this what it feels like to be a noble? Like, do they get indecisive due to the amount of things they have? Probably.

Kazuki, is there anything you need assistance with?

Amber then spoke to me as I checked the contents of the closet. It was a bit unexpected, so I sort of jolted like a scared idiot.

"Ah, yeah." I responded in my mind. "I don't really know how to choose my own clothing."

I heard them sigh at my incompetence in deciding what I wore. I expected as much. I even remembered a fragment of my past memories about me needing help from Hime in order to choose the clothes that fit me. Though, I hadn't really learned much about her name though. It's either past me calls her Hime, Hime-chan, or Himegawa-san. But I know that it's only her last name. Just give me her first name already! I'm losing my mind here!
