Shadow Ruler

Chapter 3.3

I don’t know, I’ve never touched them.

Then, for some reason, Anne-san said in my ear

“I’m an E.”

I don’t know.

She told me that I might not be able to replace my mother, but I could do whatever I wanted, so I’m a little spoiled.

Anne-san gives me a gentle hug.

It makes me feel relaxed and happy.

With Lily-san, unlike Anne-san, my feelings get the better of me, and it hurts a little when I hug her, but she fixes it right away, and she is a good cuddle, so I feel very safe no matter what the situation.

She says that her boobs are a little smaller than Anne-san’s, but they are still big enough to be called “D” size.

They are still big enough.

It is my only treasure.

The bird told me that this paper called a photograph is a precious thing that costs a lot of money, but one day it suddenly sensed something and used the money it had saved to have it specially made, and that it has a special magic in it that keeps it from falling apart even if I have it like this.

I don’t know what it is, but she said I should know that she did such an amazing thing for me.

Thank you, Mom.

Your picture was the only thing that cheered me up besides the birds and the cats.

I took good care of it.

“Well, I’m ready.”

An aiueo chart was drawn on the ground.

“Come on, Freesia-chan. Good luck naming them both!”

Hmmm…

Lily-san and Anne-san are stroking them around while murmuring how cute they are, but I don’t care.

“Freesia-chan’s amazing – she’s just ignoring me even though she’s petting me around so much…”

“That’s how important it must be–I know how you feel. It’s an important family name.”

… OK.

The bird is Carna.

The cat is Shasti.

I don’t know if you asked me why, but it just popped into my mind.

And when I told him in the aiueo table…

“Thank you, Freesia.”

“Meow.”

I’m glad she was happy.

But you don’t have to call me “sir”, right?

We’re family, right?

“I see… well, Freesia.”

I smile.

Shasti meows happily, and I smile back at her.

Everyone said it was a good name.

And with our names successfully decided, we say good night early.

When I woke up, I was in Lily-san’s arms.

Or rather, I was on the move.

I wondered why I was in the middle of a move, but it seemed to be my mood.

Well, Lily-san is a good cuddler, so it was fine.

And for some reason, Carna and Shasti were running side by side with Lily-san at the front, and the other three were chasing after them.

Why are they running?

Did you forget something?

“Oh… Lily and Anne had a light argument over who would carry Freesia, and then Lily carried Freesia and ran away, with Anne in the lead and the two men chasing after them. Well, to put it bluntly, they were caught in a situation where two women were chasing each other.”

I see.

But do you really want to hold me like that?

It’s exhausting, isn’t it?

And why are you fighting to hold me?

“I guess they both love Freesia and want to get to know each other better – for now, don’t worry about it.”

I don’t care because Carna says not to care.

“Carna is right, but the truth is that I really want to go back to town as soon as possible and dress Freesia-chan up.”

Dress her up?

What do you mean?

“Dress her up in pretty, pretty clothes, give her a bath, clean her up, change her hair, and make her even prettier.

Clothes?

There are different kinds of clothes?
