“Oh? It’s you…”

I thought it was a ghost.

“Sorry, I thought it’s not you…”

I made an excuse, but Idris asked seriously without even hearing me out,

“Are you okay?”

“Yes.”

“Are you sick?”

“No, I’m just a bit scared and surprised.”

“…..”

He looked as if he didn’t believe me. 

Idris was as surprised as I was, and he stared at me with his puffy red eyes.

It seemed like his eyes turned like that from crying. He must have been crying before I came.

“Have you been crying?”

I looked at him in a daze. Idris asked back as if he was a little upset.

“Is that important?”

“Yes, it matters!”

“It does not.”

He spoke curtly and looked at me.

“Can you get up?”

It’s like he was more worried about me at the moment.

“Of course. I’m not sick.”

“If you’re not sick, you wouldn’t be like that just because you were surprised.”

“It’s not only that, it’s a combination of being surprised, nervous and scared.”

Even with my excuse, Idris didn’t really believe me.

“You need to avoid surprises in the future. But why are you here?”

“I came to apologize to you, why else would I come?”

Idris sighed.

“Okay, let’s get up first, the floor is dirty.”

“Yes.”

I stood up bravely on purpose.

In fact, I felt pain from the bruises on my leg, but I didn’t show it.

Idris stood up while looking at me with anxious eyes.

The situation was a little awkward maybe because it was only half a day after our fight.

We stood in a daze without saying anything.

Eventually, I opened my mouth first.

“Did you hear when I called you earlier?”

“Yes.”

“But why didn’t you come out? Do you hate me?”

“….that, it’s not like that.”

I’m glad he doesn’t hate me.

“I just cried a little, so I couldn’t come out.”

He spoke truthfully. As expected, he cried.

“I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings…”

I apologized once more. He smiled as he leaned his head in a sullen manner.

“No need. Let’s go back.”

He’s trying to send me back.

But I didn’t move from the couch, even after half an hour passed.

“…you’re not going back?”

Idris eventually asked me carefully. 

“I’ll go now.”

It was so comfortable to lie down on the sofa and I was too lazy to get up.

“Maybe later.”

“That’s what you said 10 minutes ago.”

“I’ll really go this time, I’ll just rest for another five minutes.”

A small sigh came from behind the sofa.

“No, Vianne. It’s dangerous for you to stay in this house too long.”

Idris, who was leaning against the back of his couch, closes his book.

He came in front of me with one of his knees on the ground and we made eye contact.

“Not only a bad thing for you, for me too.”

“Okay, I understand but I’m too lazy to go.”

I grabbed his arms and raised myself while grumbling.

I just wanted to get some sleep while lying down anywhere comfortably. I’ve lost my strength because of earlier, and he’s asking me to move.

By the way, maybe it’s because his muscles weren’t developed yet, so his arms felt soft.

“You’re a bit more softer than I thought.”

Idris laughed at my words and said, 

“You’re saying all sorts of strange things.”

“Okay. Can I touch it again tomorrow?”

“Yes…do anything that you want.”

He seemed to have given up trying to grasp my unpredictable behavior. I grinned and got up from my seat.

“Thank you. Then I’ll go!”

I readily walked out.

In fact, Idris was so cute that she temporarily recovered her stamina.

***

The next day, Idris came to where we had always gathered.

Liliel and him still seem to have something strange, but they’ve reconciled.

It became peaceful again. It was my favorite kind of situation.

“You’re not really sick are you?”

However, Idris seemed to have had a hard time trusting me because of that time.

“No, it’s not. If I have a deadly disease, I can’t play like this.”

It’s true, I was born a bit weak but I’m not sick.

“That’s right. I was worried at first, but not to that extent. Relax, Idris.”

Liliel helped, only then Idris was relieved.

I picked up a cookie and told them many stories.

I lived a much tougher life than the average person in my past life. So I wanted to live pretty and nicely in this life.

“Haha. Nice plan, Vianne.”

Liliel smiled and said,

“I want to live like that, too.”

Idris, on the other hand, seemed to dwell on what I said.

“What do you want to do later, Idris?”

I asked this question hastily while looking at him.

“I’ve never made plans.”

He replied like that.

“Why don’t you make one right now?”

I took a bite of the cookie and suggested it. He acted somewhat awkwardly.

“I really don’t know…”

“Why? You can choose to be rich or smart. Maybe you can go on an adventure.”

“That’s too much…”

“Well, what do you want to do, anyway? If you don’t have any plans now, you can say it to me later when you have one.”

“My wish is that I can always go here now and in the future, is that okay?”

“Of course!”

“There’s also another wish.”

“What is it? I’m curious.”

“……”

He looked at me without answering. 

“……I’ll tell you later.”

“What? Why!”

“You said you had a secret too. You didn’t tell me that, so I’m going to make a secret as well.”

I laughed out loud at his reply.

“Idris, where did you learn to be sly like that? Oh well, then I’ll hear it later.”

“What are you two doing without me?”

I shrugged.

“Idris had a secret.”

“Really? I’m curious too.”

“I won’t let you know.”

Idris spoke calmly.

Well, I don’t know what to say because I’ve got a lot to hide as well…

I’ll figure it out later.

“Ay, that’s enough. Let’s have some snacks. Oops. We’re out of snacks.”

I tried to change the subject, but the snacks are finished.

Liliel suggested,

“My chef is making pudding today, should I go and get it?”

“Really? I like pudding.”

Everytime we play together, Liliel always brings us the best snacks.

When we agree, Liliel quickly went out of the garden.

I’m looking forward to the pudding, her chef always did a great job with their food.

“It’s getting cold. Winter is coming soon.”

I blabber because of my excitement.

Idris’ eyes were on me.

“Yes.”

He answered me calmly, took off his coat and put it on my shoulder.

“I didn’t say it in hopes of this…”

Somehow I felt guilty.

“You said it’s cold. Wear it.”

“Alright.”

I was a little dazed hearing his voice, he’s still young, but he has such a sweet voice.

“……Vianne.”

“Yes?”

“I think it’s going to rain.”

“Huh? Rain?”

I looked up at the sky at his sudden remark.

‘The sky really is darker than before.’

When I was about to say something to Idris,

Drip, drip.

“Oh my, it’s raining!”

I thought the sky was just getting darker, but it started to rain.

Did Idris forecast the weather? Well, he’s a future mage afterall. It was amazing.

“What should I do? Liliel hasn’t come back yet.”

I spoke anxiously.

Idris also frowned a little, perhaps because of the rain that’s getting heavier.

He lifted the coat he had given me over my shoulder and put it on my head.

“Let’s go.”

He suddenly grabbed my hand and led me towards the house.

I had no choice but to run beside him blankly.

Whether it was due to his own consideration for me or his skills were not good enough, he run very slowly.

Thanks to him, I was able to easily get into the house.

Standing in front of the back door, I saw the heavy rain.

Today was not a good day to play.

“Why is it suddenly raining…”

I was a bit annoyed at the rain.

‘My pudding…it’s raining, so maybe Liliel won’t come back either.’

“The clouds seemed unstable a long time ago.”

Idris put down the coat that was on my head. Unlike me, he was quite wet.

“Huh……Idris, aren’t you cold?”

I asked because I felt bad, I dozed off and ended up with him being wet. What should I do?

“It’s okay.”

“Wait, let me get a towel.”

“No need, I’m not supposed to be here anyway, I’ll go.”

No, that’s just what the servants want. I felt really bad for him.

“What if you catch a cold? Hold on a second.”

I forced Idris to sit down. But he tried to get up again, not listening to me.

“Hey, wait!”

I begged him not to move and hurried up the stairs.
