It would be good if our current relationship didn’t change, was what I thought.
If I gave an answer, something would end up changing from then on.
But if I continued not giving any answer, this relationship could continue for a long time without me needing to be troubled nor put up with anything. I thought this would be fine.
But that was an uncertain world of cowardice, and one that could easily fall apart.
“Jill.”
“What is it?”
“……Let’s talk.”
I didn’t want the circumstances to change. If there was ever a radical change, I might even run away. I might start feeling like everything was a chore and wanting to push it all away.
But after seeing Bel’s crying face, I thought of stopping this pretense: of pretending not to see anything and doing nothing.
Do something, before I forgot the fear when I thought I might have been disliked by Jill, or the fear for the villagers’ lives when I thought they might have died.
“Because, I don’t know anything about you, Jill. If you’re okay with it, I’d like you to tell me. I want to hear more about you.”

Actually, once Hank helped heal me, then the rest could be taken care of somehow with just medicine.
But Jill said, “If you feel pain, I would like you to let me help,” and I decided to depend on him.
Somehow I felt kind of happy, though it wasn’t because it made Jill happy or anything…….
While I was distressing over it and kicking up pebbles into the air with my toes, Andrea tugged at the scuff of my pants.
“Lilius! Hurry up!”
“Right, right.”
Excited and unable to contain it, Andrea’s face was fully blooming with a smile.
During my stay at the mansion, it had been decided I would teach the foundations of magic to the three kids.
When I had been uneasy about being a bother and consulted Jill about it, he had suggested I do this.
I liked magic, and I was rather good at it.
Due to not tempering my body, it couldn’t withstand the burden of magical power and I got seriously injured. But that was because the compatibility was bad, so it couldn’t be helped.
If it’s magic, leave it to me!
Since I said that, I was going to make excellent magicians out of the three of them. While I was at it, I also planned to teach them how to use wild herbs that could be useful for life in case anything happened.
The three lined up, all equally spaced.
Standing in front of them, I imbued my words with magic and chanted.
All around us, petals made of water danced down. Then in a flicker, they turned into ice butterflies and fluttered to swim around the three. With glittering, faintly lit fluorescence raining down on them, the children’s faces went red from excitement as they chased after the ice butterflies.
“Kyaa~! It’s spwarkly and cold!”
Cyril was being teased by a butterfly, and it was going around in circles above him.
Guy silently touched a butterfly, and tried to put it in his mouth.
“Y–you’re eating it……Oh well, it’s not like it’ll spoil your stomach even if you eat it.”
“Like snow cones?”
“Well, it is ice. But don’t you feel a little sorry for it?”
“Nope.”
Although he said that, Guy closed his gaping maw.
“I’m not gonna eat it after all.”
“Okay.”
At Guy’s words, a smile slipped out of me on accident.
Swish, swish. Guy’s tail swayed. His face didn’t change, but that in itself already seemed to express his happiness.
I patted the extremely whitish, silvery hair that was the same as Cyril’s, and my fingers slid easily through the warm, silky and soft tender hair.
