It’s normal to be surprised when you find out someone close to you is actually someone from another world. I looked at the confused blonde, blue-eyed Volte in front of me. Ah, he must be thinking that I’m a pretty weird guy, huh? I’d said some pretty weird things, huh?
Volte was silent for a while, then scratched his cheek.
“Hm, I don’t know how to say this… but, isn’t it painful for Taya and Rossa-jou to be separated from your families? Weren’t you lonely?”
Eh? Truthfully, I didn’t think he’d say that. Those words warmed my heart. I could also hear Rossa-jou take a deep breath.
“Ahaha… You’re really kind. You see, Lute, I’ve never had parents since I was born. So, when I fell into this world, meeting Shingi-san and Maya-san, and Saronna-san too, is a happiness I never knew of before—and meeting you, the kind, cool Lute, I’m even happier now than ever before.”
“… I also had no parents back in that world, and though my current parents are like that… I’m also happy.”
“I see, that’s a relief…”
At Lute’s smile, I could feel my body react.

“Understood.”
From the kitchen, Shingi-san came out to clean up the plate. My body’s heating up, and right now– my breathing’s probably heavier, and my face must be taking on a reddish tint?
“Taya, did your heat arrive?”
“…! This sweet scent, it’s already time for that, huh?”
“Eh, heat?”
Yes, I nodded in agreement. –Nn, why is Rossa-jou’s eyes sparkling like that? Th-those eyes… I remember seeing that same gleam in my high school classmate’s eyes, “fujoshi” they called themselves… Then, she’d probably understand, right? That’s a relief… not! It’s embarrassing.
“Rossa-jou, I’ll escort you to your carriage.”
“No, no, I won’t bother you two anymore, so I’ll be going home now!”
Saying that, Rossa-jou quickly stood up and left. I’m grateful for her quick wit.
“Sorry, Rossa-jou. Why don’t you visit next week? I’ll be happy to see you again.”
“Next week? That’s a promise!”
The front entrance of KumaBear Restaurant opened. A man wearing a servant’s uniform appeared, with a hand on his chest and his head bowed. Volte stood up, picked me up, and ordered the man;
“Escort Rossa-jou to her carriage. Also, please inform father and mother about this.”
“Understood, Volte-sama. Well then, Rossa-sama, I shall escort you to your carriage.”
Carrying the wrapped-up shrimp sandwich, Rossa-jou left with Volte’s servant.
“What about you, Lute? You’re not going home?”
“You think I’d leave you when you’re in heat?”
“But, your work?”
“I finished everything before coming here. I was thinking of going on an adventure with you, or just hanging out with you… I’ve already informed my father and mother, so I’ll be with you until your heat’s over.”
–Eeh, until my heat’s over?!
