At first Emilia wanted to leave, but Nina and Stella convinced her to stay and she easily fell into the trap. I know how she feels.
After playing cards, me and the kids got out of the bath and now Emilia is in the bath. When I asked her to go in first, she stubbornly said, âIâll be the last one.â
ââŚHmmâŚâ
Nina rubs her eyes and rubs her head against me.
âDonât overdo it if youâre sleepy. Shall we go to bed?â
ââŚmmm, Emilia oneecha-matsuâŚâ(Iâll wait for sister emilia)
Nina was trying her best to stay awake as she waited for Emilia to come out, but she didnât seem to be able to fight the sleepiness, so she put her head on my lap and began to sleep. I already had Ratz in my arms, and Stella was sleeping on Ariamelâs lap. Next to me, Iska and Fio were also sleeping, leaning on each other.
âI guess we have no choiceâŚâ
âFufu⌠thatâs right.â
Ariamel answered while stroking Stellaâs head next to her. Ares, by the way, has been like an ornament, not even moving a muscle. I wonder what happenedâŚ?
At that moment, the door to the living room opened and Emilia, who had borrowed Ariamelâs pajamas, entered. I knew the pajamas were a little smallâŚwell, thereâs the height difference, so it canât be helped.
At that moment, Ares, who had been an ornament, stood up quickly, said, âGood night,â and dashed upstairs to his bedroom.
Emilia was standing with a blank face due to the excessive momentum, but she immediately returned to her senses.
âUm, thank you for letting me use the bath. AndâŚwell, Iâm embarrassed, so please donât stare at me too much.â
She said.
âAh, ah. SorryâŚâ
ââŚprettyâ
Just as he was about to apologize to Emilia, Ariamel, who was next to him, muttered something. Her voice was small, but Emilia seemed to be able to hear it.
âyouâŚpre..prettyâŚâ
Sheâs embarrassed.
Slightly puffy cheeks, moist long beautiful blond hair, and slit eyes. Emilia, fidgeting in front of her, was certainly beautiful.
Iâve never seen Emilia look shy or happy in this way, even if Emilia is complimented on her appearance, she either ignores it or simply responds with a short âI see.â Though, the first time I saw Emilia in a red dress, she looked as red and embarrassed as the dress when I complimented her on her appearance.
ââŚWhatâs the matter? You seem unusually spaced out.â
Oh no, was I thinking a little too much?
â⌠No, itâs time to take the kids to bed.â
âWell, then Iâll take Stella-chan with me.â
Ariamel said so and gently picked up Stella, who was sleeping on her lap.
âOh, Iâll take RatzâŚâ
âUm, NiâŚcan I take Nina with me?â
Emilia says so while closing the distance.
âOkay, then please.â
Emilia picks up Nina, who was sleeping on my lap, and gives her a gentle expression as she sleeps in her arms. Emilia also fell for Nina.
I asked Emilia to stay in Ariamelâs room and Ariamel in mineâŚâŚ
âGray-san, Iâm thinking of sleeping with Nina and Emilia-san in my room today.â
Itâs rare for Ariamel to speak her mind like this.
âHmmm, if you two donât mind, why not?â
âYeah, of course I donât mindâŚ.Hm? TodayâŚ?â
For a moment, Emilia looks as if sheâs caught on something.
âThen Emilia-san. Please go upstairs.â
âEh, yeah. Iâll take care of it.â
Emilia was thinking about something, but after hearing Ariamelâs words, the two of themâŚwell, officially four of them went upstairs.
I took Ratz and Stella to my room, and after that, Iska and Fio to their respective rooms.
When I was about to enter the bedroom, Emilia poked her head out of the next door.
âGrey..wellâŚâ
âWhatâs wrong?â
âNo, I meanâŚoh, good night. Thatâs all.â
After saying this, Emilia immediately and quietly closes the door.
