Ore no Isekai Shimai ga Jichou Shinai!

The courtyard of the Spiel family. Me and Sophia were sitting in their seats across the table.

I feel good about the warm breeze and I think it's the best season to have a tea party in the courtyard...... Sophia won't keep her mouth shut from earlier.

Regis asked me to take him out a little hard, so I guess he's on guard.

By the way, I was wondering what Sophia looked like - she was cuter than I imagined.

Deep red eyes on semi-long, golden, glowing yulu fuzzy eyes. She's also a convincing girl who was reputed to be like an angel when she was a little girl.

I just look a little grown up for the seven-year-old quota. I knew the kids in this world would definitely think they were growing up fast, including me.

"Ma'am, Master Lion has come a long way because of you, why don't you ask me something?

A maid with Sofia tries to talk, but she's not responding to Sofia. For that reason, the maid was completely frightened.

"Excuse me, Master Lion. The lady is very familiar."

"I don't care, I'm fine."

I reassure my anxious maid and turn my gaze to Sophia.

"Nice to meet you. I say Lyon. Hey, Sophia, if you like, can you tell me your name?

When I looked at him and asked him that way, Sophia looked at me strangely. I wondered why you would ask the name if you knew it.

But Sophia, who is alert, can't speak up.

So,

"I wanted to hear it from you."

Answer the questions you planted gently and impress me that you're not a bad person. Sophia shook a surprise look for a moment, followed by a slight grin.

"... Sophia is Sophia."

Hey...... I feel so outrageous about inducing little kids to think. No, no, it's true I induced you, but I just wish I hadn't abused that.

Let's talk to Sophia in good faith.

"Bye, Sophia. Do you like sweets?

An outrageous diagram of trying to fish with sweet treats while speaking of sincerity.... there's no excuse.

"... something sweet?

"Yes, a very sweet and delicious treat"

I'm sending a signal to Regis, who was holding back nearby. One breath was placed and tea and custard pudding lined up on the desk.

"... it's a strange treat."

"I say pudding. It's sweet and delicious. Try it if you like."

"Well, uh... I'll have it"

Sofia takes a sip of it like it's horrible. The look stained with surprise.

"Wow... what is this, so sweet and delicious?

"Good. I'm glad you like it."

That's the demonic sweet that captivated Claire hey. Looks like it worked for a fiercely familiar princess, too. It was worth the effort.

"... like this, I've never eaten Sofia before. Did Mr. Lion make this?

"Yeah. I just rented the kitchen and made it... you got a good idea"

"'Cause I felt like saying so"

"Yes, what...?

What does that feel like? Could the smell be stained or something? I can't deny it... is it something you can tell by sitting across from a table in the open?

"- Actually, Lady Sophia, you have the benefit of reading emotions."

Confused, Regis put in an annotation for me.

Benefit was a special gift born... The benefit of reading emotions means you know what they're thinking?

I'm surprised to see Sophia's face. At that moment, Sophia and I met eye to eye.

"I don't know, but I know what Mr. Lion's thinking."

Seriously...... I mean, are you also finding out I was thinking a little earlier?... No, but then I can't explain why it lifted my guard.

... No, you said earlier that Regis can read emotions.

That is.

I worked a small job to talk to Sophia and felt guilty. But I want to talk purely, but I'm not going to deceive you because of it - and my feelings vaguely convey when I think about it that way.

As a result, Sophia decided I wasn't malicious - and that's the place?

... I see. It's an amazing ability, but it doesn't seem like you can get to the details, and if this one doesn't have malice, it doesn't seem like you need to be afraid.

"... isn't Mr. Lion afraid of Sophia? Aren't you creepy or something?

"I was surprised. I'm not creepy."

"Yes, what..."

Though I seem strange, there's no sign of Sophia doubting my words. With the power of grace, you know there's no lie in my words.

"I heard you're not good at talking to people, but is that the benefit of it?

"... yeah. Because anyone who finds out about Sofia's benefits is mostly scared of Sofia"

"I see..."

Greedy adults fear their abilities, innocent children fear the power of the unknown.

Sophia's a nobleman - and she's the daughter of the Count. I guess there were a lot of adults who approached me to use that position. That's the thing that says there's no choice in human disbelief.

A girl who carries the same hardship as us, the same atmosphere as Sayako. I was kind of asexual, and I wanted to protect Sophia.

"You don't have to care who's scared of knowing the favor."

"... Huh?

"Some people wouldn't be scared to know Sophia's favor, would they? Then why don't you just get along with someone who's not afraid of Sophia?

Of course, that's a polar theory. There must be good people among those who fear Sofia's favors, and I think they will change later.

But I think it's better to think about saying that after it's a little bigger.

"... Mr. Lion is strange."

"Really?

"Yeah. I've never been told that before. Everyone else tells me to make an effort to get along better. Besides, Mr. Lion's heart feels so warm."

"Is it warm? Maybe it's because I thought Sophia looked like my sister and couldn't leave her alone."

"Mr. Lyon, do you have a sister?

Ugh. I slipped my mouth inadvertently off guard.

So, I'm in a hurry, and Sophia knows all about it. Are you okay...... can you conclude that I have memories of my previous life because I know I'm in a hurry?

"If I had a sister, I'd feel like Sophia."

"Yes...... is it?

I guess you're wondering. Sophia peeks into my face. But if there's anything you want to hide from me, there's nothing nasty about it, so I usually take that gaze.

"Mr. Lion is strange after all.... Hey, Mr. Lion. From now on, can I call you Lion Brother?

"Yeah, good, but... because you said I was like my sister?

"Is it? I was looking at Mr. Lion, and somehow I wanted to call him that."

"... if that's what Sophia wants to call it, you can do whatever you want"

"Yeah! Thanks, Lion brother!

For that reason, I succeeded in cracking it with Sophia. We enjoyed the tea party while talking about this and each other.

Again, needless to say, my domestic situation is pretty bad.

So if we talk to each other, if we're normal, we're going to have to answer this... because Sophia knows how they feel. It was very easy to talk about because it avoids topics that I found difficult to talk about at all.

"So, Lion, your brother is close to Claire."

"Right. Claire, hey, it's a family without a change."

"Good. Lion, I envy your brother."

"Sophia had a brother, didn't she?

"I have a brother, but I don't have a sister. Besides, Eric, your brother joined the Knights and only comes back sometimes."

"Heh, joining the Knights means you're looking to be a knight?

"That's right. Eric, Regis said your brother is very talented."

"... Regis?

Why do you think the butler used to be head of the Knights of Spiel?

"I thought you were in good shape."

"Mr. Lion seems to be working out pretty well, too."

"Swordsmanship is a little tricky."

Alice didn't have a hand in swordsmanship.

So they're practicing with me, but it's more like a chamberlain where the two of us hit each other with sticks than swordsmanship.

"Sophia's learning swordsmanship, too, right?

"Heh, yeah?

Imagine young Sophia wielding her sword so hard she feels smiling.

- And then. A maid walked up to me from the mansion. And she ears at my side.

"Master Lion. Looks like you're ready to go home."

"Oh well, thank you. Tell him I'll be there when you're done saying hello."

Ask to keep talking and drop off the maid. Then Sophia looked at me with a crying face.

"... Lion, brother, are you leaving already?

"Yeah, I'm sorry. It's time to get out of here. We can't go home by the end of the day."

"Then we'll stay today and go home tomorrow"

"It's..."

I'm a concubine child, and I'm not allowed much freedom. Even if I wanted to stay the night, the escorts wouldn't forgive me.

"... sorry"

Suddenly Sophia groaned sadly. You must have read my emotions.

"I'm sorry about that. I don't hate that you asked me to stay. It's just that I really need to be home by the end of the day."

"Yes, what... then, Brother Lion, will you come back and see me?

"That, of course, I promise. I'll definitely come back for another visit."

"... ok. I'll wait for you, okay? I promise.

Thus, I successfully completed my face-to-face meeting with Sophia and returned to Granchez territory.

But...

"Master Lion! Mr. Alice. Mr. Alice has been taken away!

It was Marie's chopped line that welcomed me back away.
