172 7. Tea time (1/2)
The sound of rain raised Tiararose's consciousness.
When I move my neck while I'm asleep and look outside, it's raining in the dust instead of the sunny days earlier.The black rain clouds make it difficult to guess the current time.
Tiara?
I was called by my name and hugged from behind.You can see that your body is relaxing in this warmth.
Looking dextrously while being hugged, there was an Aqua Steed face with a slight fatigue.
”... have you been awake? Aqua”
”No, I slept a little.”
”You've been resting all my life.”
Tiararose puts her hand on Aquastead's cheeks and smiles, ”Thank you.”
Luca and Rio have been very kind, but the situation is often unclear.I know that I can't sleep easily.
”Take a rest, Aqua. Now I'm awake.”
Leave it to me, Tiararose smiles with her chest up.
”Thank you, Tiara. Now... sweeten your words a bit”
Aquastead said so and closed his eyes with a gentle hug about Tiararose.Looks like a replacement for a pillow.
Of course, I'm glad to have you as a pillow... but if you can't now, Tiararose will try to get out of Aquastead's arms.
--Then you're going to sleep with me!
I have to stay awake, but I'm confident I'll sleep with you...!
Tiararose tried desperately, but she couldn't get out because she was hugged firmly besides her thoughts.
”Aqua, Aqua!”
”Nh....”
I rushed to call Aquastead's name, but he's already asleep.
”Eh, I'm already asleep....”
Surprisingly, Tiararose usually goes to bed earlier, so it feels kind of fresh.
--I 'm sure you've been very careful.
Tiararose kissed Aquastead's forehead with a small thank you murmur.
Behind the castle is a tower.Luca is using it to study magic and already treats it like a private room.
Because there are important books and dangerous tools, the entrance is magical and cannot be entered without Luca's permission.
Rio looked up at the tower and sighed, ”You're immersed in research...”
Luckily, Luca showed her face immediately today, although there are many things she wouldn't notice if she succeeded.
If you're obsessed with magic research, you won't even notice the sound of knocking.At that time, it can take long enough to get out.
”Rio? What's wrong?”
”Elaine's calling. I've prepared some sweets for Mr. Tiararose, so I'll have tea.”
”Okay, then I'll take some fun games with me.Because I think I'm a little distracted. ”
Luca returned to the tower with a simple game.
Well then, let's go.
Ah.
When Elaine went to the waiting room, a tea set was provided in the wagon.
A pastel-coloured macaron and candied ribbon creates a macaron tower with floral crochet bushes.The cup pudding has plenty of raw cream and large strawberries on top.The tart cake is made with lemon and has a refreshing flavor.
Luka and Rio suddenly shouted, ”Oops!”
”This is amazing....”
”But that's just too much...?”
That's enough to make me think.
But Elaine shook her head and said, ”That's not true!Strongly denied Rio's words.
”You must be worried about Tiararose, so I want you to feel better about eating lots of sweets!”
”Well, I certainly don't have eyes on sweets....”
”It's fine, you can have whatever you like.Besides, if you play a game, it'll calm you down a bit. ”
I see.
Rio nodded and walked out on the wagon that Elaine had prepared.
”Dear Rio, I will...”
”Elaine, did you tell him we were going?”
”A-ah”
When Elaine tried to tell Rio that it was her job, Luca asked if she had the promise - bluishing her face for not doing it.
Well then, can you tell her I'll have tea?Just don't push me. ”
”Ok, I'll make sure it's done quickly!”
Looking at Elaine running around in a dress, Luca and Rio looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
I fell asleep - I thought so, Tiararose, but I had a good night's sleep and I was able to wake up.
This also includes the reason that you were observing Aquastead's sleeping face.
I was thinking of observing a little more, and the knock sounded.Looks like someone's been visiting.
The sound made the Aquastead twitch.
”Nh, visitors...?”
”I think so. I'll be there for a while.”
