The next evening, I went to the dining room in the royal castle.
“Nina, you need to eat more. Your arms are so thin that they look like they’ll break.”
“Nina-san, this one is delicious too! Here, open your mouth!”
Next to me was Alvin-sama, and on the other side was Erica, and around the large dining table were Theo, Lara, Dirk, and Owen.
The reason why this happened was that Lara immediately talked about me, and then Theo stormed into Alvin-sama’s room.
“You’re cheating! We want to be with Nina, too.”
“Theo, you’re talking too loud. Nina will be surprised.”
“Nina is just worried about Erica, right? We’re not the same as we were two years ago. We’re strong enough to protect her now.”
“Theo….”
“Can’t you trust us?”
There was no way I could say no to such a request. I wanted to be with him as much as he wanted to be with me.
Although Alvin-sama looked dissatisfied, he decided to stop hiding my presence from everyone for the time being. However, it would still be kept a secret from the people so that there would be no confusion due to the presence of two saintess.
I would be lying if I said I wasn’t anxious. Still, I wanted to believe in all of them. I myself decided to make as much effort as I could, by teaching magic more diligently to Erica.
And with that, Theo and Erica planned tonight’s dinner party. It had been two years since I had dined with everyone, and my heart warmed with nostalgia and happiness.
“So, this is what happened in the end.”
“Yeah… I’m sorry I put Owen through so much trouble.”
“I didn’t do anything yet. I knew this was going to happen.”
Owen smiled and sipped from his wine glass. In this country, you could drink alcohol from the age of 18. Although I was offered one, I declined for today.
“Hey Nina, let’s go hunting together again when there is a herd of demons. It also doubles as Erica’s training.”
“I think Erica is not ready for a herd yet, so let’s go alone. I need to move my body more, too.”
“It was frustrating that you always defeat more demons than me. Ah, right. Dirk, you want to go too?”
“Yeah. I’ll go.”
Two years ago, they used to accompany me to raise my abilities. Alvin-sama, who was next to me, said, “You don’t have to bother going to dangerous places.”
“Hey, Nina. Shall we go out for a drink soon? You’re old enough to drink now, and I’ll take you somewhere fun.”
“Absolutely not.”
“You’re too noisy. You know, people don’t like a man who is too constrictive.”
When Lara said that to Alvin-sama, she winked at me and said, “Right?”. Although I was glad for the invitation, I was honestly afraid to go out for a drink with Lara, who had a bad drinking habit.
“Ah, then let’s go together, Alvin-sama.”
“I’m happy that Nina invited me.”
“Nina, you’re an idiot. It’s more fun for two women to go out together. It’s entertaining to hook up with a random guy.”
“Lara.”
Lara laughed amusingly at Alvin-sama, who called her name in a reproachful manner.
“But it’s a miracle to have Nina back like this.”
“…. There are no miracles in this world.”
“Well, I can dream, can’t I?”
Lara shrugged her shoulders and let out a sigh.
Afterward, as we ate while talking about other things, I noticed that Alvin-sama was quietly staring at me.
“How can I help you, Alvin-sama?”
“Is Nina having a good time right now?”
“Yes. I’m happy to see everyone again like this.”
“I’m glad to hear that. Soon I’ll be an adult.”
Then, he smiled and patted my head.
Did being an adult meant that he would stop being too overprotective?
“Nina, you should drink too! It’s getting fun.”
“You’ve been spilling your drink all over my arm for a while now.”
“Oh, Theo’s drunk, isn’t he? Hahaha.”
I couldn’t help but laugh at Dirk and Theo’s situation, and wished these peaceful days could continue.
