Please stay safe and remember to social distance yourself!<3
I fell asleep and was on my bed when I woke up . Nico is usually waiting for me, but he must have already left . It was fun to pick oranges, but it’s tiring to meet so many people .
Speaking of oranges, why don’t I bring a Rug Dragon with me next time and stand on their head . While I was thinking about such things, Natalie wiped my face with a warm towel .
“Thhanwsh, Natawie . ”
“Lei . ”
“Nii-syama!”
Nii-sama was here . I turned to where his voice was and saw a stranger with him . He had a firm body, some grey hair in his brown hair, a tan, and brown eyes . That person muttered, “Claire…”
Claire . Okasama . Shortly after I thought that, the man hugged me . I didn’t even have time to feel shy . I wasn’t scared of strangers in the first place .
He smelt like the sun, old leather and faintly like Rug Dragons .
“Her eyes, mouth, her untidy hair, and mischievous expression are just like Claire’s when she was little…”
Really? Both Otou-sama and Nii-sama have beautifully straight hair, but my hair is always all over the place .
“Ojii-syama?” I said, and he asked, “Yes, that’s right! I’m your Ojii-sama . I’ve never seen such a smart child before . Right, Luke?!”

“That’s right! That’s why I wanted you to meet her as soon as possible!”
The middle-aged man and the boy were screaming .
“Father-in-law, I’ve been here the whole time . You didn’t notice me at all because you wanted to meet Lei . ” Otou-sama smiled, wryly behind them .
“Oh, Dean . This is great . Lei’s back . It’s really great!”
“Yes, yes . It really is!”
He was still holding me as they hugged each other . It’s tight . It’s narrow .
“It’s surprisingly foolish of you not to notice how much she looks like Claire, Dean . ”
“At first, I only saw her hair and eye colours . And, she’s chubbier than the slender and weak Claire . ”
What!? If a baby isn’t chubby, then doesn’t that mean they’re unhealthy?
“Otou-syama…”
Judging a person by only a glance, honestly what a troublesome person .
“After I started caring for her, I didn’t even think about whether she resembled Claire or not . Oh yes, is Luke like Diana?”
Otou-sama stared at Nii-sama, and Nii-sama was shocked .
“You’re asking that now? It’s been 12 years since I was born . ”

“My bad . ”
This is probably a situation where I can understand just how useless Otou-sama is . I hope this doesn’t spread outside of the Albans House .
“Oh, we got off-topic . Leila, happy birthday . ”
“Thanwsh . ”
I feel like it’s my first time meeting a relative .
“I brought a present for the girl who did her best in Frontier!”
“Preshenth?”
I tilted my head . Oh yeah, I haven’t received a present today .
“I collected all the presents you received today . I’ll show you later . ”
“Ai!”
“Ojii-sama’s present is, you know…”
If you stop there, then I’ll be excited to hear what it is .
“It’s a Rug Dragon!”
“Wow . Huh?”

Rug Dragon? For a two-year-old girl?
“It’s a Rug Dragon for you to use!”
“Wow, thanwsh . ” I said thank you, but we have lots of dragons in the pasture . And, I’ve been told that I can’t ride them by myself, so it’s a questionable present .
“Rug Dragons have long life spans, so it’ll be with you until you grow up . ”
“Ojii-sama’s fief raises Rug Dragons . ”
Ojii-sama and Nii-sama get along well . I have mixed feelings about Rug Dragons, so the stuffed one near my bedside is enough for me .
I’m glad he came to see me, and he also got along well with Otou-sama . The people at the mansion were tactful and made dinner into a party . We talked, and laughed while having dinner .
“Claire wasn’t shy either, is Lei the same?”
Ojii-sama narrowed his eyes .
“Claire didn’t change even when she became an adult, and she always talked to this grumpy Dean without hesitation . ”
“I’m ashamed of myself . I lost my temper a lot, and was unhappy about a lot of things back then . ”
“No, you had the reputation of being an expressionless and cold guy . The rumours about the Four Marquises are heard to the ends of the country . ”
“That’s…”
This might be my first time seeing Otou-sama speechless . It’s Otou-sama, so he wasn’t interested in whether people were interested in him or not, and he would even say ‘What do you want me to do with your interest?’
Nii-sama and I, who were exposed to the public in Wester as members of the Four Marquises, smiled wryly . Then, I thought . If I were Okasama, and I was meeting the Four Marquises for the first time, then I would be excited to see what kind of a grumpy person would come . If she was like me, then she must have waited excitedly for the guest to arrive .
“I’m shure Okasyama wash woowing forward tho ith . ”
“Lei! That’s right . You’re really her daughter . Claire was looking forward to seeing what kind of person this cold and grumpy guy was, and she wanted to see how many wrinkles he had on his brows . She couldn’t go out much because of her health, and was looking forward to meeting him . ”
“So…” Otou-sama said as if he had remembered something . What is it? Otou-sama stared at me, turned away and looked awkward .
“Claire came up to me with her eyes sparkling in excitement, then she said in disappointment, ‘What? You don’t even have one wrinkle’ . I was still young, and I thought that she was really rude,” he muttered . Okasama, I can’t believe you wanted to see how many wrinkles he had . As expected of the woman who married Otou-sama .
“There were a lot of girls who wanted to be with me . ”
Well, you are popular since you’re one of the Four Marquises .
“I’ve never met a girl as unpredictable as Claire . And, she always looked like she was having fun . ”
That’s why he was attracted to a girl who was different from those around him . I see .
“Lei, what are you grinning about?”
When Otou-sama got off his seat, he picked me up and put his face in my hair .
“Oh, yes . Claire would grin in an unladylike way too . ”
I asked him what he said, but he immediately diverted the subject . I have to ask Nii-sama what Otou-sama looked like tomorrow . I thought .
The next morning, I was taken to the pasture . I saw the Rug Dragon who was being given to me as a present and was blown away .
“Kyee . ”
Huh, it’s small . Is it a child?
