It goes without saying that waking up the next day was the worst.
I feel like I had a terrible, surreal nightmare, I have decided to forget it.
Fairy-sama who continued to sleep together with me even after my complete recovery is still in the dreamland.
Ena who noticed that I woke up gave me a light kiss on the forehead as a morning greeting.
I wonder if there’s some kind of policy or something?
Claire, Theo, and Ellie are kissing me excessively both on cheeks and forehead, but…… There’s no need to talk about Alek.
But, I will defend my lips to the death.
While still half asleep, Ena gives me a warning without consideration.
「Lily…… I clearly understand that you want to go outside the room, but please don’t try to forcibly leave just like yesterday, okay? I will speak about it to Claire. It’s still early for you to go alone, but it should be all right if I’m with you. Therefore, promise me? Okay?」
【Ah, pardon me】
Ena gently admonishes me while brushing my hair that grew longer a little with a soft hairbrush.
Ena naturally can’t see my words of magical power, but I put her words to heart.
「One and half years old child would not understand me, but Lily is clever! You surely understand me, right?」
「Ai」
Thinking that a small reply would be good, I utter a sound and nod.
Ena’s hand which was brushing my hair suddenly stopped and she instantly stiffened like an ancient stone statue.
Crap…… Is it still too early?
While thinking so, I look over my shoulder at Ena.
「Yaaaan! Mou! Lily how cute you are!」
Ena throws the hairbrush away, lifts me up to her arms and rubs her cheek against mine.
Yaaaan, she said…… Ena-san you are the one who is cute!
Kuti who was woken up by the noise saw Ena rubbing her cheek against mine so she flew towards my other cheek and started rubbing as well.
【Good morning, Kuti】
「Go~od morn~ing’, you did something again~?」
Please, go to sleep a little more if you are still sleepy.
【The usual~】
「Ah~」
The double rubbing continued for some time.
After eating a breakfast, Claire and Alek came to the room together.
Seeing the two after so long, I have received a storm of hugs, kisses, and cheek rubs.
When the storm calmed down, the two sat down before me.
「Lily…… We can’t return for about a month from now on…… But, you see! I will do my best for you, Theo, and Ellie!」
「Ah…… My cute, cute Lilianne…… Even though there were so many days I couldn’t see you…… Papa won’t be able to see you for another month……」
The two of them are sad together, but their enthusiasm is contrasting.
I don’t know what they are enthusiastic about, though.
「Look, get a grip Alek! You have the duty to protect us and the duty to show off your swordsmanship. You can’t afford to show Lily your uncool side!」
「U, umu…… That’s right. Lily, Papa will do his best! I’m sad that you can’t see Papa’s gallant figure, but I shall win one of the seats of the four countries for you!」
「That’s the spirit you two. Leave Lily to me, Theo, and Ellie and do you best!」
The awe-inspiring Claire encouraged Alek as he made a fist and motivated himself.
Magical power bursts out from his body like flames.
Alek’s first magical power was released like flames.
Did he unconsciously release magical power because of strong emotions?
I was considering such while watching the two who were overflowing with motivation.
But, I would like to know what these two want to work so hard at above all.
Even if they declare their enthusiasm, I have no idea what’s it directed at.
Alek brimming over with vigor is releasing magical power like flames.
Claire warmly watches over the reliable husband.
【↓Baka couple↓】
Kuti who gloomily observed Alek’s flames of magical power put a signboard over the two.
It’s a sign that is troubling, but most definitely not wrong.
It’s wonderful that my parents get along well, but please stop this passionate exchange in front of children.
Hey, you there, do not start passionately kissing.
Ena also feels as if she gave up on them as she shrugs her shoulders.
After the passionate embrace and kiss ended, the seriousness returned on their faces and they turned towards me.
「Then, we are going Lily. I will properly pray to the Red God Uretom」
「We are going, Lily-chan. We will return as quickly as possible, okay?」
Red God Uretom is the God of War and Love if I’m not mistaken.
In other words, the two are going to fight.
Ah, didn’t they say something about “Magic Battle” before?
After finally understanding, I decided to take a small action before Alek could turn the doorknob.
Totetote I trot and approach the two.
「To~shama, Ka~shama」
I call out to them.
「Iterahiya~i」1
I crack a smile and wave my hand.
In an instant, Alek with an overflowing smile moves to me, holds me up in his arms and rubs his cheek against mine, and praises my growth while shedding tears.
And Claire who hugs me not getting defeated by Alek.
After the storm of hugs and praises lasted for a while, Ena Hurry up and leave! forcibly put end an to it.
When I looked overhead during the storm, O’Fairy-sama put a very suitable signboard above the two.
【Doting parents × Foolish parents ○】
It’s Kuti with complacent smile, big nostrils, and satisfied look.
