"Didn't you always cut your hand in front of Rem before, why did you suddenly say that you wanted to be treated or something? Or rather, why didn't you say that until just now?"

"If it doesn't hurt or itch, you won't have a long memory, so I still think it's better to leave some lessons. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"What a crisp Spartan pedagogy...... So, what is the reason for that?"

As for the reason for turning a blind eye before, I would like to know the reason for this concern.

In the face of Pleiades' question, Rem remained silent for a while.

Pleiades looked at her silent face, wondering if it had anything to do with the smile she had come at before.

Thereupon......

"The quilt was blown away, the cat fell asleep, who is telling a bad joke!" (Translation: This is a Japanese bad joke, the original sentence is "布団が吹っ飛んだ.") 猫が寝転んだ". ）

"Suddenly your brain is broken?"

"Don't jump to conclusions, it's not, just trying to determine the reason for Reem's smile just now. ”

Pleiades thought, since she would react to the ghost's upper body, then maybe it would be the same for this.

"I suspect you might like such a handful of old man jokes, so I want to use this to make you feel better and gentle. ”

"I don't think Rem will ever have a chance to heal Pleiades again. ”

"Are you so angry!?"

"I was so angry when I secretly spread rumors and slandered my sister. ”

"I'm sorry, I've been talking a lot lately. ”

After adding a superfluous sentence, Rem looked at him with a sharper look.

Some of the trembling pleiades gave up their excuses and closed their mouths and looked up at the sky. As the twilight deepened, and the night was slowly approaching, it couldn't help but make her hands and feet feel a little stiff due to tension.

In short, today, the second world just celebrates its fourth day.

"Whether or not we can go into tomorrow morning safely and soundly is the difference between victory and defeat. Until then—"

There's also an important battle to be fought to decide if you can set a date with Emilia.

In the week of the second return to the Rozval Mansion, Natsuki ushered in the biggest crisis of the moment.

From the point when things no longer develop the way they did the first time I had predicted, it was hard to say that it was smooth sailing, but now the biggest crisis is coming.

"That is to say, since Ram and Rem will not be able to come to the Pleiades tonight, I will supervise your studies in their place. Although it doesn't make a big difference, it says"

Emilia said, sticking out her tongue very cutely, showing a somewhat shy expression. She sat on the bed facing the table and looked after the Pleiades. This act caused the Pleiades' endurance to be defeated, and they retreated one after another.

——In the middle of the night, in the room of the man who thinks of the spring period, he is alone with the cute little girl.

Unable to concentrate and only blindly fighting against the beast's instincts, who can blame him at this time?

"Hey, I'm more focused on my studies than I thought. ”

I kept thinking about the four empty pleiades in my heart, but I couldn't calm down even if I was killed. Emilia stood up and spoke to him with some admiration. It seems to have just taken a bath, and there is a faint burst of warm aroma mixed with Emilia's scent, whipping the Pleiades' reason.

Faced with Emilia's gaze asking about his studies, Pleiades opened the notebook in a panic.

"Right now, I'm writing and memorizing the basic Iraqi script. This collection of children's fairy tales is basically written in the Italian script, and being able to read this book is my goal now. ”

"Well, aim for a collection of fairy tales...... Ah......h

"What, do you care about anything?"

Emilia stopped flipping through the book of fairy tales that had been used as a substitute for textbooks, and shook her head gently at the Pleiades.

"Well, it's just a little, not to the point where I don't care. Wait until the Pleiades can read it, huh. ”

With a snap, Emilia closed the book and sat down on the bed again. Obviously, the atmosphere around him is good, but in the face of such a casual and defenseless Emilia, the Pleiades can't hide the panic in his heart at all.

"Actually, I'm going to talk to the children who only have a chance to meet on the day of the underworld, but let's put the Pleiades in front today, you have to thank me, and then come on. ”

"Of course, but thanking Emilia is not enough, as proof of gratitude, let me give you a massage or something. Contains the gratitude of the weekdays, personally to heal your fatigue, get rid of your hard work. Hey, hey, hey. ”

"I don't like people doing anything to me, so don't. And don't stop, keep learning. ”

After being clapped and commanded by Emilia, the Pleiades turned to face the table once more, battling the troubles.

While concentrating on the four major emptiness, he wrote in his notebook, and gradually concentrated his mind and drove the distracting thoughts out of his head.

"Sure enough, if you do it seriously, it's still quite good, really. ”

"Once I'm stuck in it, I can't see anything around me. So I'm single-minded to the people I like. ”

"Poof, that's right. If only the other party had noticed the single-mindedness of the Pleiades earlier. ”

In the final analysis, Emilia still regarded the theory that the Pleiades were frivolous and frivolous as a rhetoric that had nothing to do with her. Pleiades himself knows that the kind of affection he has for Emilia can't be considered a love affair between a man and a woman, so even if he wants to ask, he can't do it.

"Now, Pleiades. ...... Why can't you work as hard as you study?"

"It's my rule to be lazy and slippery...... Doesn't seem like a joke, huh?"

"Yes, very serious topic. - Ram already has a slight whisper about you. She sensed that you seemed to be lazy from time to time during your work. ”

But perhaps because she was a whistleblower, Emilia's expression was also very unhappy in the process of choosing words and sentences. Hearing this, the Pleiades only frowned as if they had been debunked.

Pleiades did have laziness when working, which means that Ram was right.

In fact, the Pleiades didn't really want to work hard.

Rather than saying that, it would be more appropriate for him to deliberately adjust the same result as last time.

Compared to the last time he was a servant but didn't learn any skills, this time he was slightly better. But even his subtle adjustment was not let go by the senior maid.

“...... It's not that it's all guilt-free. The Pleiades will look very regular in strange places. There is no laziness to say about learning. ”

"It's just a little bit of a thing...... But that's not a reason. I will be back to work from tomorrow, so I beg your pardon, Your Majesty. ”

"Well, let's get flat...... Isn't there anything wrong?"

Sensing the sense of incongruity between herself and herself, Emilia tilted her head cutely.

Emilia's softened attitude reassures Pleiades, and at the same time, she is determined to make her promise to Emilia a reality tomorrow.

At least, you won't need to imitate it again after tonight.

In this way, we can also try to repay the favors we have received from Ram and Rem during these four days.

However, even if you are no longer lazy, it does not mean that you can become combat power immediately.

"It's that kind of thing that matters. Hopefully both of them will buy into my efforts."

"It's so good, but it's really ruining the atmosphere...... Have you already finished your studies?"

"That's it for today! By the way, I have something I want to ask Emilia dear, can you hear about it? I want a reward so that I can start working hard tomorrow. ”

"Reward, I don't have a lot of money at my disposal. ”

"How do you feel like you're forcing me to raise me. Well, let's hear it first. If I work hard from tomorrow...... Just go on a date with me!"

With a thumbs up, her teeth glowing, she took her signature pose and invited Emilia.

Emilia's eyes widened in front of Pleiades' determined expression.

"What do you do on a date?"

"Heh, if a man and a woman go out alone, it can basically be regarded as a date. What will happen here, only the goddess of love knows. ”

"So, today Pleiades and Rem are going on a date. ”

"No, that's an unexpected answer!

It's true that I'm going out with a beautiful girl.,But dating isn't about dragging the family to buy food.,Dress up each other and travel together.,That's what the Pleiades want.。

"I know you want to go out with me, so where are you going?"

"Actually, there are super cute dogs in the village near the house. And flower beds or something. If Emilia could dance with the flowers, it would remain in my 'shooting star' forever. ”

In the corner of the Pleiades room was the bag of the convenience store, which was one of the few possessions brought from the previous world. The cell phone and cup noodles that had survived the fierce fight in the warehouse were left in the bag intact.

"As long as I can charge it, I will fill my phone's memory with pictures of Emilia and realize my ambitions. ”

"Hmm...... Village?"

The Pleiades are immersed in the fantasy of changing the screensaver with Emilia's photo every day, while Emilia on the other side is holding her hand to her cheek and looking like she is contemplative. In doing so, Pleiades remembered the last time she was confused about the invitation to go on a date.

How did I get her OK last time? In order to recreate the scene in the memory, the teeth of the Pleiades are shining.

"The dog is super cute, go for it!"

"However, it might cause trouble for the Pleiades. The people in the village also ......"

"The children are also innocent, they are simply an army of angels, go for it!"

“...... Well, I got it. I can't help it, so I'll go with you. ”

"Seriously, the flower beds are really colorful and very beautiful...... Really?"

Pleiades felt that this time Emilia's resistance didn't seem to be as strong as last time, and couldn't help but be taken aback.

Emilia pursed her lips and shrugged her slender shoulders at the overactive but empty Pleiades.

"But I won't go with you until tomorrow when I start to get motivated. I can't mess around anymore. ”

"No, no, never, absolutely not! In order to be able to do the job perfectly, I am ready to burn my soul awake!"

"Do you have to burn your soul for this kind of thing!?"

Emilia was even more surprised by the energetic Pleiades, and then the two laughed together.

After laughing for a while, Emilia bowed slightly, stood up on the edge of the bed, and walked past the Pleiades with a shallow smile on her face, looking up at the sky outside the window.

"Well, the stars are beautiful tonight too. Tomorrow must be a good day. ”

"yes, and then it's going to be a memorable day. ”

"You're like this again......"

Emilia leaned her back against the window frame and turned back to remind Pleiades of her flirtatious tone. But when Emilia saw the Pleiades' expression, she stopped her lips.

——The expression of the Pleiades can be seen to be different from the previous seriousness.

"It's so slow, I'll doze off, Emilia will hold it as a pillow until morning. ”

"Just now, you...... Well, it's okay. ”

"If a girl is halfway through a sentence like this, it will make a man feel uneasy. ”

Although she asked about her previous meaningful attitude, Emilia walked away from the window and said "nothing", and walked deftly past the Pleiades. Then she put her hand on the doorknob and turned her head.

"Goodbye then, Steward Pleiades. Work hard tomorrow. Rewards can only be given to children who work hard."

She raised her hand slightly, made a saluting motion, and shook her long silver hair with a smile that still remained.

Before the Pleiades could reply, the silver figure disappeared outside the door.

No matter how much you stretch your hand, you can't touch it anymore. In the room, a residual fragrance left by the lovely girl is still wafting.

But—

"Hey, hey, hey, it's fake. Really. I'm super motivated right now, really. ”

Once again, they exchanged promises with each other. And the Pleiades will finally be able to challenge this night again.

Across this night, in order to usher in the morning of the fifth day of the promise, there were still six hours before dawn.

"Come on, let's fight it out, god of fate—I've got this file. ”

He sat on the ground, leaning back on the bed, looking forward to the dawn all the time.

He had been sitting there for two hours, and now he could barely feel the coldness of the floor. It's just that the coldness seems to have become unimportant, and the body of the Pleiades at this time has been awake to the extreme. The reason is simple.

"The heart is pounding like this, who can sleep!"

The heart was beating fast and loud, and the sound seemed to be ringing in my ears, loud and piercing. He could even feel the blood running through his body, and his fingertips continued to complain of pain as if they were paralyzed.

"Is the promise with Emilia that makes me look like this? Hey, am I an elementary school student who can't sleep before the outing? I remember oversleeping in the morning during my school trip. ”

While releasing this mood with memories, the Pleiades did not get tired of looking at the sky that had been looking at it for hours.

- It's been a long time, he feels it deeply.

There were almost four hours left in the morning. Although the Pleiades didn't even have sporadic sleepiness, he was always on the alert because he didn't know what was going to happen, and if this state continued, his nerves would be broken.

Once you think about the possibility of an attack, you can't distract yourself to kill time.

So the only thing he could do was to continue to think, and the wound on his hand was not very painful, but the rest of his body was cold, and it seemed that he was about to lose consciousness.
