Chapter 52 (The sky of early afternoon)
"Cecil-san mansion... in other words, the Arclight family residence is it ?"
"Yes... there's a mansion owned by Arclight family in the imperial city. I've come to the academy from that place instead of staying in the dormitory. with Zix and Hirgiz."
I remembered the night when I met her for the first time.
I see, at that time, she must be just got back from the academy, isn't it ?
... Come to think of it, what is the relation between Cecil-san, Zix, and Hirgiz-san I wonder ?
Siblings... does not seem to be so...
"And then today, I plan on inviting the two of you to my mansion. emm, are you both already eat lunch ?"
"No, I have not yet."
"If that the case, what do you think ? let's have lunch together ?"
"I'm sorry, but, I must decline."
The one who answered that is Kyurie-san, then she began to rise from the chair.
"You don't have to be reserved you know, Kyurie ?"
"No, I have some business to do..."
"Is it an important business ?"
"Well, you can say that... and alsoー"
Kyurie-san put her hand on Cecil-san shoulder.
"Today, I'll yield to you."
"Kyurie..."
"Ah and one more thing, Cecil."
"Yes ?"
"That clothes, it really suits you."
"Eh ?"
"Fuun... it's a bit embarrassing, but, that is my impression. well, I can understand now why boys make a fuzz of it..."
And then Kyurie-san looked at me.
"Well then, see you later."
After saying that, she leaves the room.
Now there's only Cecil-san left.
"Aーau..."
She seems to be quite embarrassed.
With her cheek dyed in red, Cecil-san grasps the hem of her skirt in embarrassment.
"B-Being praised by Kyurie like that, somehow it's unexpected...emmー"
Cecil-san then turns her eyes on the clock.
"First... may I say something ?"
"Sure..."
"She unexpectedly, able to put into words her true feeling smooth ?"
"I can understand you... that's why, I was taken by surprise"
*Haa* Cecil-san exhale some breath and loosen her shoulder.
"Unfair... that was unfair you know ?"
Cecil-san put her hands on her cheek to cool off her heated cheek and frowned.
"Although it's a roundabout way, I want to surpass her or rather... to be honest I was envious of her."
Hmm...
I guess this is the so called when people jealous of each other ?
Though I think that people have their own good point.
"Well, anyway..."
Cecil-san said that and change the topic.
"Kurohiko will you come to my place?"
"Well, since you've especially invited me. and besides, I can't go to the sacred ruin for a while either..."
With that being the case.
I go with Cecil-san to the front gate after I got permission from the old doctor which who sipped a hot water in the lobby of the assembly hall.
A carriage stops near the gate.
Thin cloud drifting slowly in this early afternoon sky.
The wind which occasionally brush my cheek feels warm.
The sounds of leaves shaking by the calm wind giving off a calm feeling.
This day certainly feels like the embodiment of spring-like season.
"Oh ? you're from that night..."
The carriage driver lifted his hat lightly and then say hello.
I remember this person.
If I'm not mistaken, this person called Banton.
I make a slight bow.
"Please to meet you, I'm Sagara Kurohiko. I've been in the great care of Cecil-san."
"Fumu. You're the boy from that night right ?"
Banton squints his eyes then stares at me as if trying to guess something.
"T-That's right."
"Is there any person who can change in a short amount of time ?... no, this might be because of youth. well, then please get on..."
"Well then Kurohiko, please get in."
With Baton-san urged, and Cecil-san pushing my back while joking.
"Well then Baton, I'll leave it to you."
"Understood, my lady."
The door opened.
"Ah..."
Inside the carriage, Zix and Hirgiz-san are there.
The two of them sat down next to each other.
"Nn ? Kyurie Velstein didn't come ?"
Zix asked Cecil-san.
"Yes, she has some business today."
"Is that so... Kurohiko, is your body alright already ?"
"Yes, it's alright."
"I see..."
Zix nodded then shows a relieved face.
The carriage began moving after I and Cecil-san boarded in.
