When we returned to the mansion, as I had thought — Jill was waiting with his arms crossed and brows furrowed. Caught before I could make any excuses, I listened to his long-winded lecture and, when I figured Jill’s voice had softened, I climbed onto his lap.
These past few days had really been hectic. While sticking to Jill, I listened to what requests my sister had come up with under the pretense of a meeting, feeling fed up.
“So in the end, she just came here to pester for money.”
“….Well, that’s basically it. But I’m not going to give her any aid, and I’ve asked a few people to shadow her and keep an eye on her movement until she leaves the country. If she does anything, we’ll get reports.”
“Haa. I see…… Once Cyril gets better, how about we all go out on a trip again?”
The impromptu proposal surprised Jill a little, but he nodded with a radiant smile on his face.
“That sounds nice. Let’s go to the sea again with everyone.”
“It’d be nice if Belus and the others can come too.”

“Right! Uh, here,”
“This is?”
“….It’s a Spirit Drop. I know some Spirits and uh, a bunch of things happened; they grew up and happened to give me this. I have no interest in this, and I know it was because of me that you lost your Drop, so…”
“No, that’s—”
“I—it’s fine, so shut up and take it.”
I opened the velvet jewelry box and pressed the thing into Jill’s hand.
It was the first time I had ever given a gift to a lover or imposed such an obvious possessive move on someone, and I couldn’t look directly into Jill’s face.
Time passed, but there was no sign of Jill accepting it. I called out nervously and found Jill contemplating something with a stubborn look on his face.
“……What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, I’m very happy. But if it was a gift to you from the Spirits, then I’m not sure I deserve to hold it—”
“Ugh~ it’s fine so shut up and take it! If you don’t take it right now I’m going to throw it away!”
“Please calm down, Lilius.”
Overcome with shame and embarrassment, I tried to take it back, but while hiding his chuckles, Jill hugged me and kissed my cheek.
“Thank you. I’ll treasure it for life.”
“……It’s not that special.”
“When I can’t see you, maybe I’ll kiss this for comfort.”
“Y—you don’t have to say these kinds of things!”
“Lilius, you are really cute.”
“Hmph.”
Aaah, so! Annoying!
I tried to get off of Jill’s lap as he teased me. But Jill quickly stopped me, picked me up and rolled me onto the bed.
Covered by Jill, looking into his soft and molten golden eyes, we shared kisses as light as feathers.
