Chapter 792
I gave them the trial drinks
“What is this, Mr. Takumi?”
“I would have brought it if you told me… But thank you.”
In order to help pacify her, I had extra milk and sugar put in Tilura’s tea.
When I told Ms. Helena it was for Tilura, she was happy to bring out the sugar… As for mine and Ms. Lyra’s, there was no sugar inside, which was the original plan.
As for Leo, I promised to give her milk and grape juice later.
“It’s the drink that I was talking about yesterday. While this is just a test, I had some sugar put inside. I think it should taste good, so give it a taste. Ah, you should mix it with a spoon.”
“Okay… Ah, it is delicious! And there is something inside that is quite chewy. How interesting.”
Normally, you would drink it with a straw, but since we didn’t have any, I told her to use a spoon instead.
Regardless, Tilura seemed to like it, and had no trouble eating it with the spoon.As for me… It was not bad. But definitely not what I remembered… It felt like something was missing. I suppose you needed sugar or syrup.
Ms. Lyra also looked a little conflicted with hers… Like she did not understand why there were chewy chunks inside of her tea.
Well, I was not the person to invent the drink, so I had no answer for that.
“…So, do you feel better?”
“I’m sorry for causing trouble for you and Leo…”
“We don’t mind. Sometimes siblings argue like that.”
After seeing that Tilura seemed quite happy, I tried talking to her.
“Wuff.”
“Thank you, Leo.”
Tilura sighed and leaned against Leo.
And then she buried her face into Leo’s fur and thanked her, just like Liza had earlier.
It almost seemed like she was holding back tears.
“By the way. Claire was wondering about your sword training recently. Is there a reason that you seem distracted?”
“!”
“Wou…”
As soon as I mentioned Claire, she froze and clutched onto Leo even tighter. Leo then looked at me accusingly.
“Uh… I just wondered…is there something else on your mind? I’m not angry that you fought with Claire. I just want to know the reason.”
“…She didn’t send you here to lecture me?”
“Not at all. If anything, you are justified in being angry after that. I think she should have listened more…”
I tried to make it clear that I was on her side. Which was mostly genuine.
I didn’t want to make Claire the villain here, but I understood Tilura’s perspective… And I had said as much in a roundabout way, so I hoped that Claire would understand.
“…I know that I can’t just be saying that I hate studying…”
“Yes…”
“I can train fine when I am with you and Leo…but I can’t focus when alone…”
“And why is that?”
Not wanting to rush her, I waited patiently for her answer.
Leo also sat without moving while Tilura held onto her. And Ms. Lyra waited quietly a short distance away.
“…I’m lonely.”
“Lonely? But even when you are training alone, the rest of us are still in the garden? And you do not study alone either… Is it because Rahle was gone?”
“I was the most lonely without Rahle…but it’s not just that…”
“I see…”
So she was feeling lonely regardless of Rahle being here.
She did not really travel anywhere, and seemed to be with Leo and Liza a lot. So why was she lonely?
If that problem could be solved, perhaps she would be able to concentrate better, and Claire would not have to get angry with her…
