As the venue setting up was finishing, the maid, Nina, arrived on site.
She seemed stunned and astonished by the suddenly created venue.
When I noticed her presence and spoke to her, she huffed and told me that Aria and the others had come to the office.
Me and Diana had finished our work, so we went straight back to the office.
◇ ◇
"Sorry. Thanks for waiting."
When we entered the office, apart from Aria, there were two other girls who looked a similar to her.
The three of them are sitting side by side on the sofa.
Aria turned to me as she sat down and puffed out her cheeks with a slightly angry look on her face.
'Buuuu~. 'Big brother and big sister, you're taking so long to come."
"Aria sister, it's rude to talk like that.'"
"..... yes. It's rude."
But it was her sisters, who were a little calmer than she was, who admonished her.
The two admonished Aria, and she was aghast, shifting her gaze to them.
"Ehhh, you're a traitor, ......"
Capella, standing beside the girls, stares at them blankly.
No, I don't think she is looking at me with interest.
Diana, who came into the office with me, lets out a small sigh at the sight of the girls.
The contrast in temperature between Aria and the other girls and Capella and Diana has me chuckling as I approach the girls.
"Hmm, I'm sorry I'm late. I was setting up the venue for the Bowl Battle. If you don't mind, may I have the names of you two?'
I asked gently as I sat down on the sofa in front of the girls, across from their desk.
The two girls stood up on the spot and looked at me.
"I am Cilia, the twelfth girl, counted from my sister Aria."
"...... I am Elia ......, the fourth daughter counting from sister Aria."
I knew this, but I was a little surprised when I was once again directly informed that they were sisters.
But Aria, Elia and Cilia? Do the names mean anything to them?
'You must be Cilia and Elia, thanks for telling me your names. Please, have a seat. But your name is very similar to your sister Aria, does it mean anything to you by any chance?'
It seems that my question was difficult to answer.
The two of them look at each other with a batty look on their faces as they sit down.
''That's ......."
"...... sister Aria, can I tell it ......?"
Cilia turns over and shuts her mouth, but Elia shifts her gaze to her sister, Aria.
Aria looked at me and Diana and nodded slowly.
'Yes,...... big brother and big sister are people with kind eyes, so don't worry."
When I gave them both a gentle but strong look as a sister, Aria shifted her gaze to me.
'Brother, we were called the 'Lia sisters' back home.
"The Lia sisters ......? 'I understand. I'm going to be a bit long-winded, I think. Diana, get me a cup of tea, please. And get them some sweets."
"Yes, of course".
Diana bows on the spot and starts to prepare the tea.
Aria and the others' eyes lit up at the word 'sweets' and their earlier tense faces instantly relaxed.
I smiled at the sight of the girls and shifted my gaze to Capella.
"And Capella. I want you to call up either Bizika or Sandra."
'Awe. I know that Sandra is in the house, so I will go and get Bizika".
"Okay, please."
He nodded in reply, bailed and left the office.
The reason why I called Bizica before listening to Aria and the others was because I felt that the words 'Lia sisters' meant that it was a story about the 'enhanced bloodline'.
If so, it would be useful information for the girls to manage their physical condition in the future.
But why did the three girls come to the office together? I asked gently.
"And yet, I was wondering if Aria would be coming alone today. Why did you two, Elia and Cilia, come?'
When I asked, Elia and Cilia looked at each other, and then shifted their gaze to Aria.
Aria looks at them with a questioning expression on her face.
"What is it? You two look at your sister like that ......."
"Because Aria sister sometimes goes out of control."
"... yes, she does run wild."
At the words of the two sisters, Aria's face turned red and she began to get angry, saying, "You two have a terrible ministry.
That situation is very amusing.
But when I first met Aria, she was indeed 'out of control'.
I can't help but chuckle at the exchange between the girls.
'Haha, I mean, you were worried about your sister. I know your sisters care about Aria, "
"Eh⁉ Ah, yes,...... yes, that's right. Heh heh heh."
When Aria was surprised by my words, she smiled happily and bashfully.
The two of Elia and Syria also looked embarrassed and were bashful.
At that moment, Diana gently speaks out.
"Rid-sama, I have brought you some tea and sweets."
"Yes, thanks, Diana. "
She offers me tea and sweets to Aria and the others with a familiar hand.
The sweets are 'cookies', by the way. The girls seem to be glowing with the sweets that are placed between their eyes.
But Deanna takes one look at them and then calls out to them.
'You have learned 'manners', have you not? If you don't eat carefully, we'll take your sweets away. May I, Master Rid?"
Diana politely tells them off and then turns her gaze to me.
Well, it is important to have good manners in a place like this, you know.
I nodded with a wry smile.
"Haha ...... well, even sweets have to be eaten nicely in a room like this. I guess this is also an experience.'
"Thank you. I'm sorry to have to say something so impolite. Now, are you ready too?"
"Yes."
She bowed to my answer and shifted her gaze to Aria and the others.
But the girls themselves, in front of the "sweets", screamed in the face of an unexpected challenge.
As the venue setting up was finishing, the maid, Nina, arrived on site.
