Episode 22. Who do you want to hang out with, then? Tale chooses!
Such a hectic day passed for several days.
Cecilia, who had a taste for being outside, chased after Tail around the monastery with a splash every day.
‘The first time was difficult, the next was easy.’
Tale smiled lightly.
Compared to the first time she met, she thought it was fortunate that Tail was a huge improvement.
At the same time, she felt a tight grip on her arm beside her.
Then I heard Cecilia’s sharp voice.
“Tale decided to play with me?”
At the same time, someone snatched her other arm.
“Why does Tail only play with you?”
Unlike usual, which was innocent and clear, Chloe’s venomous voice came out.
Every time Cecilia and Chloe ran into each other, they gnashed their teeth and argued like a cat and a dog.
Of course, there was always a tail in between.
‘Is it fortunate….’
Looking at the almost tattered tail from the side, I could see Alan holding back a laugh.
“Why are you fighting so much? The three of us can play together.”
Alan’s words were answered by Chloe and Cecilia, staring at him at the same time.
“Then it’s no fun.”
“I can’t do that.”
And right away, Cecilia flirted as if tempting, and asked Tail.
“Then who do you want to hang out with? Tail picks me up!”
Her eyes twinkled.
It’s like ‘me? Me? Come on, say me!’ As if to say.
But at that, Chloe raised the corners of her mouth, her eyes widened, she said.
“Miss Cecilia. Don’t you know that if you ask like that, Tail will be in trouble?”
“If Tails was in trouble, he would have said it, right? I don’t think she’s a problem for the princess to say, right?”
Chloe’s smile grew thicker at Cecilia’s sharp words.
Her slightly curved eyes were full of annoyance.
Tails let out a long sigh as the atmosphere gradually heated up and slowly took away his tied arms.
“Lady Chloe, Miss Cecilia. I’m sorry, but I have a request from the abbot, so I have to go back to my room.”
At Tail’s words, Chloe and Cecilia’s eyes filled with regret.
Cecilia buried her face in her tail’s arms and cried out.
“I don’t want to fall off with Tail!”
No. Hey? Are you going to your room for a while?
“… Tail. Carefully. Go very carefully….”
When Chloe said that, her expression was dripping with regret.
Seeing these two, Tail felt frustrated.
‘No! I’m just going to my room!’
If anyone sees it, they’ll think they’re breaking up forever.
Alan, who was watching it then, opened her mouth saying “Ah!” As if he had come up with a good idea.
“Tail. If what you asked me to do is to do it in the room, like paperwork.”
At the same time, an ominous feeling hovered over Tail’s body.
Alan, not noticing that, said with a broad smile.
“Maybe I can go to Tail-sama’s room with Chloe-sama and Cecilia-sama?”
Oh. My. Gat.
Tail’s mouth opened slightly.
‘Damn it. f*cked me.’
I was going to go to my room to rest and work, but everything went wrong because of that damn article.
Unlike Tail’s dark complexion, Cecilia’s and Chloe’s expressions became as bright as daylight.
“… Tail’s room?”
“Are you going to the room where Tail is staying?”
They’s eyes flashed like laser beams.
Tayl, who saw the two of them, had no choice but to swallow a sigh and answer.
“Okay. Let’s go Instead, the deadline is today, so you shouldn’t interfere.”
At his words, Cecilia first clenched her fists.
“Never worry! Tail! I won’t be in the way at all!”
Chloe also opened her mouth with a big smile.
“Yes. We’ll stay as still as dead rats!”
It was Cecilia who started to tackle her words.
“Don’t put a spoon on my words, right? Princess. And we are Please fix it.”
At those words, one of Chloe’s eyebrows went up slightly.
“When did you say I uploaded this? I was just expressing my opinion. You have to speak properly.”
Looking at the two of them fighting again, Tail touched his forehead.
I’ve already started to worry a lot.
* * *
Alan went, and Tails went to the room with Cecilia and Chloe.
The moment you open the door.
Jumping.
“… Uh?”
The door was locked.
But Tail immediately recognized the cause.
‘Ah. I see Eugene is taking a shower.’
Eugene said that she usually took a shower when she was alone, and whenever she did, she would lock the door.
The reason is that it has been a habit since her childhood.
‘What can I do? . Should I say it goes back like this?’
If she had been alone, she would have gone for a walk.
While contemplating, Cecilia tilted her head and asked.
“Why? Is the door locked?”
“Ah. It’s like Eugene is inside….”
And before the tail was over, Cecilia knocked on the door.
Thump thump.
I knocked on the door, not knowing whether it was knocking or hitting, and a loud cracking sound came from inside.
A flustered Tail stopped Cecilia.
“It looks like Eugene is washing up right now. Again next time….”
Tale was talking.
The door burst open.
“… Tail?”
As if Eugene had washed up in a hurry, her hair and body were damp.
And her wet body was neatly clad in monk’s clothes as usual.
Eugene saw Cecilia and Chloe next to Tail and her eyes widened.
“Ah. Chloe-sama and Cecilia-sama are also here.”
“Yeah, he said he wanted to look around for a while. I must have been in the shower, sorry.”
Eugene shook her head at Tail’s apology.
“No. Come in. You two are shabby, but come in.”
The door squeaked open.
Tail went in first, followed by Chloe and then Cecilia.
The room that Tail and Eugene share is simpler than expected.
Two wooden beds and a wooden desk and chair.
There were candles hanging on the wall in preparation for a dark night.
It was just an ordinary room, but Chloe and Cecilia were more excited than ever.
With this, they feel like they have entered Tail’s living space.
At that time, Chloe found a white cloth that had fallen on the floor in front of the bathroom.
“Huh? This…. A compression bandage?”
Knowing what it was, Chloe untied and lifted up the bandages that were scattered all over the floor.
And seeing that, Eugene’s face turned red.
“Ah! That’s mine.”
Eugene urgently snatched the bandage from Chloe’s hand and put it in a drawer.
“Recently, my ankle hurt, so I wrapped it up a bit, but I left it here while washing. hahahaha.”
Yujin smiled awkwardly.
She put her hand on her shoulder and asked her tail.
“Where are you hurt?”
“No. Just a little sprain are you okay.”
Around the time I was talking to Eugene, Cecilia, who was looking around her room, noticed something about her, and her eyes widened.
“Wow! Tail! What is that?”
What Cecilia pointed to was the golden rose placed on her window sill.
Even in the increasingly dark background, the golden rose shone brilliantly alone.
Cecilia’s eyes sparkled at the work that seemed to be of great value at first glance.
“Ah. That’s-.”
When Tails tried to speak, Chloe spoke first.
“Ah. Is that? It is a gift from me.”
Chloe’s smile deepened.
“I am direct. Fold. I think it was a rose made by requesting a blacksmith with 100 gold.”
Smile.
Chloe’s beautifully curved eyes shone arrogantly.
As if. ‘Have you ever given a gift like this to Tail? Isn’t it?’ It’s like this expression.
“What. In fact, in conclusion, it is the only gold rose in the world with 170 gold.”
Cecilia gritted her teeth at Chloe’s confident smile as if she had won.
“I…. Can I give you a gift like that?”
Cecilia’s voice trembled with defeat and anger.
But Chloe let out her foot laugh.
“But am I the one who gave you the gift?”
“Profit!”
Tears welled up in Cecilia’s eyes.
A gift!
Why didn’t she think of that herself?
‘No.’
No.
She herself is different.
Cecilia opened her eyes and shouted.
“The princess has to bring a gift like this to get it. I’ll give you a present even if you don’t give it like this!”
Every sentence was missing an object, but Chloe perfectly understood the contents.
Rage flashed in her eyes.
“Ha. You haven’t seen Cecilia-sama, have you? The happy smile she had when she received the gift she wanted.”
Cecilia’s words choked at those words.
Oh my God. Tail’s bright smile.
I missed you so much.
However, Cecilia suppressed that emotion in her rising pride and shouted.
“You see that all the time, right?”
Chloe laughed at Cecilia’s words.
“How do you know if you haven’t seen it?”
“When did I say I didn’t see you? Because I saw it.”
Looking at the two raising their voices again, Tail sighed.
‘It’s a start again.’
The two probably had a bad relationship in their previous lives.
‘There’s no way we can fight like this without doing that.’
Tayl’s intuition felt that today’s work would not be comfortable.
Eugene, who was watching her from the side, shook her head and stroked Tail’s shoulder as if comforting her.
