I, Liliana Rose, became 15 years old. And now, Leila was more and more beautiful.
She can do all the work of a maid, she, whose beautiful pink hair grew to her waist, looks like a Venus. After 3 years, she might become the game's heroine, so it is only natural. Indeed, it has been decided she would be a loved and beautiful girl, I would be a disliked villainess… to give up without trying would be absolutely not fun, right?
Therefore, I won't give up yet.
"The house is somehow noisy, Leila"
"You are right, Liliansama"
"Because it is spring, everyone is cheerful"
"It isn't for this reason… It appears we have a visitor today"
"A visitor?"
"I don't know all the details too but…"
What is it? Well, I should be called anytime soon.
While drinking the black tea made by Leila, I was reading a book to kill time.
Romance novels seemed popular in any world.
No matter how, the main protagonist is cute and gentle girl like Leila…
It will be about time for the event of the beginning of the game with Alan and the others. Nothing has changed in this regard though…
"Leila, Liliansama, you are being called!"
An old maid came along and shouted.
I understand me, but why Leila? When tilting my head, an instruction came for Leila to change from maid clothes to a formal dress.
Because we had no time, I gave my white dress to Leila.
Yes, with a neat and lovely feeling, she is like a wonderful heroine.
Nevertheless, what is it so early in the morning?
"Good morning, Leila"
"Good morning, Madam"
"What about me?"
"Good morning, Liliana"
"You look good, Leila. Here, take a seat"
We passed through the parlor. And then, there was a lovely child with pink eyes and light purple bob hair in front of us. His big round eyes were like a doll's. He looked like a cheeky brat.
"My name is Mel Hawk. I was chosen to be Leila Rose's fiancée."
"Eeeeeeeeeeeh"
Leila and I screamed at the same time. No matter how you look at it, this child looks like he is 5 or 6 years old?
We looked at each other spontaneously.
"it is a privilege, Leila onee-san. It is because I am so charming and excellent"
"Why me?"
"Because of all the pictures, you were the most beautiful"
(Ah, his words looked like the game…)
I remembered there was a shota confessing sugar words at the opening.
"It can't be, I am a commoner"
"Ah, I am a commoner too, you know? I am such an amazing, elegant commoner"
"…You're saying that to yourself?"
I unintentionally charged into. Well, there was a baby-sitting atmosphere.
He is behaving like a spoiled child and is a narcissist.
He, who wore high class clothes for a commoner, was crossing his legs in the red chair, while laughing.
"You should savor the happiness of marrying me who is charming and pretty. Right? Leila onee-san"
"Me being a fiancée is a bit… I am a maid, you know?"
"It doesn't matter since you have pretty good looks"
"Well, such a thing…"
Leila was blushing. And then, Mel stared at me.
"Over here, is that Liliana Rose-sama?"
"Given the situation, I wonder with Leila's honorific who is older. My birthday is before hers"
"Then, you too will be my onee-san?”
Mel laughed with a giggle. I am a little bit annoyed but… the other party is a kid.
Mel was drinking the black tea that was served and greedily eating the arranged apple pie.
Finally, the course of event was changed. Well, it is good.
"By the way, Mel"
"You look like a villainess, being so fierce"
(At this moment of the game, Liliana went berserk)
"Saying such a thing"
This child was very honest, saying this so straightforwardly.
I was grinning at Mel's words.
If I went berserk here, I would head to the bad end, full throttle.
"I will stay here for a week. I am an adult, so I am fine alone. But because I am so charming and lovely, everyone is supporting me"
Mel who flatter himself is sure cute. He is giving off an atmosphere like he is a small animal.
"The largest room would be good"
"But the biggest one is my room"
"Liliansama's? So, this one"
(At this moment of the game, he moved to Leila's room who declined, but…)
But here, it was not good to offend the other party.
I consented, and Mel's luggage was carried to my room.
I wanted him to quickly get along with Leila as a initiation before the start of the game but… unfortunately, he met Leila after the start of the game.
"There are a lot of cakes too"
"Cakes! I love them! But what about calories?"
"There are some with no sugar"
You care about diet at this age! Well, It is because Mel is a beautiful shota.
He will turn into a devil like this.
"Wow"
A commoner from this world cannot eat this sort of cakes.
As for me, I can eat them anytime but… Eddie was upset at first with all those cakes.
Mel frowned when I showed him my room.
"Strange room. Deep black and bright red"
"…I'll renovate it another time"
It hasn't change from the time I was a child.
The reason is I don't know what to do… Should I go for a princess room with white and pink this time?
"I want to go outside"
As expected from a child. It is a whim.
The 3 of us, including Leila, went outside.
* * * * * * * * * *
"Buy this cake, this one too"
"Yes yes"
"Liliansama, you are buying too much"
"It is fine, it is my pocket money. Besides, I cannot buy more than that"
"Eh, only those two? Then, choose more"
Don't tell me I have to buy you gifts indefinitely?
I had to make good memories for this child who came all the way from the countryside.
"Look, I want that balloon"
"The one with a heart shape?"
"Yes. Our shops in the countryside don't sell this"
Mel was jumping up and down joyfully. I chose a light blue balloon.
"Wow, it is a balloon. It was so expensive, thank you, Liliana onee-san"
"It is okay, as long as you cherish it"
"Hehehe… wow"
Right after saying that, Mel fell and let go of the balloon. Hah, I sighed at his teary eyes.
"I am sorry… Ah, it is steadily going to a place I cannot reach"
Mel said feebly, looking desperate.
He watched me apologetically, feeling terrible.
"It is okay, I can control the wind"
"The wind? Wow, the balloon came back… Amazing!"
"Here, hold it firmly this time"
"Yes"
After that, we were in a good mood, and we all ate cotton candy.
* * * * * * * * * *
3 days after that. Mel was fidgeting restlessly.
"Mel, it isn't time for cakes yet. It is still morning"
"Okasama? Otou-sama?"
"? They will not come yet. Mel declared he would stay one week."
"………….."
I see, he is lonely. He is only 6 years old… it cannot be helped.
I opened a picture book and called Mel. He was listening to me reading aloud but was bored somehow. Because Leila is a maid, she can only keep him company during her spare time…
It should be about time Mel returned home.
The vast house too might be the cause of his aggravating loneliness.
If we were doing hide and seek, Mel might surely burst into tears, scared by its size.
"Yes, let's make cakes that can be stored for Mel's okasama and the others. Then you could give them the cakes when at home"
"Cakes…"
"We could make something like cookies for your first time, what do you think? With chocolate, it would be good"
"Let's make them!"
Mel jumped up cheerfully.
"Because I am free, I will always keep company to Mel during your stay"
"Liliana onee-san"
"No need to feel gratitude. Because I have free time"
"Wow"
With the permission of the chef, we entered the kitchen. There was always good things left here! Because tools for cookies or chocolate were standard, they were always placed here.
I began the preparation unfolding the memo note with the recipe. I attached the apron I was using as a child to Mel, who looked very cute in it.
"Mel, the frilly apron suits you——"
"…it can't be helped since I am cute"
I am somewhat dissatisfied. Well, because there are a lot of lace, I wonder if a boy can wear it? In this way we began making cookies——.
"Tasting, tasting"
While saying that, Mel picked up a cookie.
"Ahaha, let's make a lot more!"
"We can't…"
"I was like you when I was a child"
"Eh…"
"If there are different types, wouldn't okasama and the other be happy?
"Surely"
Mel laughed joyfully. Because there were crumbs on his cheeks, I picked it up and ate it.
Thereupon, Mel's face was bright red. A child is so pure.
"Say, Liliana onee-san"
"Yes?"
"If I am the fiancé of Leila onee-san, would you like to play again?"
"Of course"
"…Prince Alan is fine"
"What about Alan?"
"No, nothing, say, let's have food sampling with tea?"
Again, eating food. I laughed in amazement.
We tidied up the kitchen and returned to our room.
There, Leila was waiting.
"Good work for today, both of you"
"Leila onee-san too, please take a cookie"
"Thank you very much, Mel-sama"
"Just Mel is ok, you know?"
"Then, Mel-kun"
"…kun is not necessary"
"please don't take it to mind, it is a habit"
At those words, Mel who was sulking, came to an understanding.
When Mel handed forcibly the cookie he was holding to Leila, she ate it obediently and joyfully.
"Here, it is delicious, isn't it?"
Making a crunchy sound, the cookies were disappearing from Leila's hand.
"We made it ourselves!"
"Uhuhu, thank you very much"
"We won't see each other for a while, since you have to go to school…"
"Well, aren't we acquainted? Mel-kun can go to school to play. …As my playful husband, I heard you can give money to visit regularly"
Otou-sama, good job. Mel began to shed large drops of tears.
"in the countryside, I was always alone. Because there is no child of the same age…"
"Mel…"
"Mel-kun…"
"Coming to this house, Liliana onee-san played with me… it has been a long time since I haven't felt the warmth of somebody"
"Is that so… I"
"Yes, I didn't tell Liliana onee-san about my circumstances, but I intend to let you know in various ways. From now on, please treat me well"
"Yes, by all means, Mel"
At this moment, Mel came to kiss me.
I was startled, Mel put out his tongue and said.
"It is a secret for Prince Alan, isn't it?"
"Mel…"
After that, for some reasons, Mel was beside me for 3 days.
