I threw a pebble into the lustrous, jade-like lake.
With a splash, the water sprayed up. The Spirits gathered together, dancing around it.
I watched them dazedly, then buried my face in my raised knees.
Behind me was the thing that should have been my house. Still in the stages of repairs, the house looked like a stranger’s, despite being a place that I should have been familiar with.
“You’ve been down recently huh~ Cheer up, Lilius.”
“……Why are you here.”
“Well, I thought of comforting the beauty that’s in heartbreak after a quarrel with Commander.”
Seth sitting next to me made a joke I couldn’t smile at.
If it was before, I would have thought he was as frivolous as his appearance. But now, no matter how flippant he acted, I didn’t feel unpleasant.

Even at that time, I couldn’t say anything to Seth and turned a blind eye to it.
But Seth was different.
I was depressed living in the mansion, so I was going to stay at an inn until my new house was built, but he intervened.
He meddled in as he pleased, and I was at a loss.
However, I still recognised that this was due to his concern for me. But I was someone who couldn’t do anything, and hesitated whether to let his kindness touch me. I even teleported to the lake near my rundown house, but was still found by him in the end.
“You’ve calmed down a bit?”
“I was already calm from the beginning.”
“Lying is no good~”
“…..There’s no lie. Besides, it’s got nothing to do with you, Seth. Don’t poke your nose in.”
“We’re friends, so even if it’s not my business, I’m of course going to cheer you up at least.”
“Huh……?”
“Hmm?”
I trembled when that word, “friend”, came out from Seth’s mouth.
When I stiffly looked in Seth’s direction, his head was tilted, his calm face tinged with doubt.
“What, when the heck did we become friends?”
“Hmm? Eh, I don’t make such clear distinctions about that kind of thing.”
“……Don’t joke about being friends!”
“Huh?! That’s mean!”
“Besides, I didn’t approve to be your friend or anything.”
“You serious? Only an idiot would say that.”
“That…….!”
Excuse me, was he calling me an idiot?!
On conditioned reflex, I glared at Seth, and he stared back at me with the corners of his lips lifted into a smug smirk.
“W–what’s that for.”
“Oh, you’re actually happy, aren’t you? You’re seeeeeriously not honest huh?”
“S–sh–shut up! Don’t make fun of me, I’ll get angry!”
If anyone can help them mend their relationship, that person is Seth. Lilius shut up, and accept this friend of yours, you seriously need one!
Thank you for the chapter!!!
It’s okay to have friends! It’s okay to love Jill.
Let yourself be loved Lilius! You deserve it.
