Is it really necessary to respond mercilessly?
There is still a long way to go in a society where we talk about such cruel things indirectly.
I asked this as a joke, but it hurt me a lot in the end.
Even real dogs love the people who raise and care for them.
How can someone communicate like this!
Dearyn argued with herself as she swallowed her curse.
“Why do you hate me?!”
“Annoying.”
“……huh?”
A very clear reason appeared immediately.
It was also an irrefutable fact.
From Ceres' point of view, the mere presence of noise would be aversive.
However, it was unfair.
There is nothing not to like!
“No, these days I don't snore and grind my teeth less!”
Sirius no longer reacted insensitively to Dearyn's presence as if she would kill him on the spot.
Deyarin also relaxed and began to talk less in her sleep.
It was unfair.
“Annoying.”
However, it was loud by Sirius' standards.
My hearing tolerance has increased, but that doesn't mean I can't hear.
Sirius absorbed things like table manners and vocabulary while teaching him.
If I kept this up, I felt like I could debut on social media within a month.
However, it was not easy to calm his sensitivity.
Even though Dayaren didn't run around screaming everywhere she went, the comments about her being loud didn't go away.
Her mere presence is annoying and noisy.
Although he did not throw the candlestick at the songbirds in the morning, he would sometimes come into Dearyn's bedroom and stare at her for a long time.
Instead, Dearyn became accustomed to that sensitivity first.
“It's not like I'm walking around with a knife and slitting throats.”
“Annoying.”
“People need to breathe to survive.”
“…….”
It is clear that this silence is the silence of “I would rather die.”
Well, that's a lot for someone who works so hard, really.
“So much that I hate people for being loud…….”
Dearyn grumbled.
It was impossible to live quietly any longer.
The shock when I heard that I didn't like it even though I cared deeply about it was quite shocking.
“So you don't like cats too?”
"I hate."
“What about dogs?”
"I hate."
“What about mice?”
"I hate."
“Don't you hate everything when it moves?”
Sirius thought for a moment and nodded.
"I hate."
“…….”
This is a very fixed and specific standard.
“Well, from now on, I have to live without breathing.”
I will try to live without making a sound for once.
I'll wait and see when people say it's good.
Diarine was determined to fill the house with silence.
However, the noise that Dayaren couldn't even think about occurred in every corner of her life.
After Dyaren decided not to make any noise, she began hearing sounds she was not aware of on a daily basis.
For example, the sound of leaves blowing in the wind hitting the window.
“!”
“It's paper.”
Dearyn informed Sirius calmly, and he jumped and pricked his ears.
Sirius, who had raised his body sensitively, lowered his stance.
If I had to, I would run and tear up the leaves, but when Deyarin spoke first, my desire to attack was crushed.
“Fighting with papers?”
Dearyn asked quietly.
“…….”
Sirius sat quietly.
I was still looking out the window as if I was worried, but he didn't run to kill the leaves.
“It's nice.”
Dearyn praised Sirius for sitting quietly.
Where did you come from to care about the opposite sex so much?
Sometimes, I can't tell you how proud I feel when I hear something explained with words like these.
After this job, I was thinking about getting a dog.
“Come here and see.”
Dearyn pointed to Sirius.
Without asking or arguing, Sirius quickly placed her arms on Dearyn's knees and sat down on the floor.
Even though I was told not to, I continued to assume that position as if it was comfortable.
Okay, that might sound like a dorky doll.
Dayarin has given up on correcting this situation.
Meanwhile, the matters discussed between Sirius and Dearyn were increasing one by one.
“Take a deep breath, and exhale.”
“After… oh.”
Sirius meekly followed Dearyn's instructions.
I am someone who makes loud noises when I sleep or move, but when I calmed down in this way, I felt a peace I had never felt before in my life.
It was not quiet as all the noise of the world disappeared.
When I heard a noise, I stopped paying attention to it.
It was a new and amazing experience for Sirius.
As long as I had two homes, I could handle it without being unruly. I felt my hot nerves cool.
The drugs and magic that calmed the members of the Eighth Division in the heat of battle while on the front line were more akin to the distant feeling of sinking into a deep abyss rather than drowning.
That and the calm of two different homes.
Sirius instinctively felt that this was peace.
Peace was good.
“Oh!”
At that time, a short scream was heard outside the window.
I couldn't stand it this time.
A short while ago, I suddenly felt a presence wandering around my house.
So I was more upset.
I felt like the person who came to deliver groceries the last time.
I tried to bear it if I left it quietly.
But then there was the sound of something rushing, panicked footsteps, loud movements, and even screaming.
Sirius' patience quickly reached the limit.
"Ah! No! Wait a minute!"
Dearyn clung to Sirius with her entire body before he jumped out the window.
However, the rumbling sound that was heard again afterwards made me wonder: “Will that really stop me?” My self-confidence is gone.
What kind of idiot would trip over the box I was carrying, get up, and fall again?
Although I asked Robin again to pay attention to the sound after the last time!
Sirius became excited in an instant and growled in automatic response.
"the curse……!"
It showed no sign of abating.
Deyarin, who became a judge, also felt a fever in her head.
You worked so hard to calm him down!
Can't this guy try to calm down as hard as he does other things?
Finally, when Sirius could take it no longer and pushed Dearyn away and tried to head towards the window, Dearyn exploded as well.
"Hey! I see you're gone!"
It was a scream full of threats.
It was a threat so daunting that Sirius stopped in his tracks without even realizing it.
At the same time, the person carrying the groceries hurried away from the palace.
“Squawk squawk!”
Sirius took a deep breath and stared out the window at the people's backs.
And yet, I could do enough to follow him and destroy him.
But not the enemy.
There was a possibility that it could be fatal, but it was small.
Dearyn was there, staring at him as if she would kill him if he didn't stop.
The person closest to him now who can make the right decision is Deyarin.
Sirius returned with heavy steps.
“Whoa, whoa…”
I knelt down in front of Deyarin and took a deep breath as I had learned.
Sirius hugged Dearyn's waist and rubbed her forehead against her lower stomach.
I couldn't help but feel sensitive and my mind was pounding.
Stroke me quickly. Please calm down quickly.
Dearyn sighed and put her hand on Sirius' head, making a foolish gesture urging me to continue.
"…… I did well."
I stood like that for a while and stroked my hair.

“Let's put things in order.”
After Sirius calmed down a bit, Dearren began to organize things.
Until now, I thought that in order to look like a precious master, I had to accept her and serve her as a servant unconditionally.
This way, you will naturally be able to demand and accept this kind of treatment even when you go elsewhere.
However, since there was no one higher than Ceres, I wondered if there was a need to do so.
There was also a hierarchy in human society.
Faithful obedience to orders should not be the be-all and end-all of social skills, but one must know how to distinguish superiors from inferiors.
There, Deyarin wondered: “Why should I be a follower?”
“If you think about it, I am the daughter of a noble family, right?”
Even though he was a baron no different from a commoner, he was still a noble.
Sirius was a war hero, but he was not a noble “yet.”
In this sense, Dayarin's status was higher.
“So, I want to speak informally as well.”
“……?Huh.”
Sirius admitted this without much opposition.
It was not a concern whether words directed to the self were said informally or politely.
"…… truly?"
Dearyn hesitated when Sirius did not object to the topic she brought up first.
I got rid of this out of anger, but I never thought it would go away so easily.
I felt like I was pulling the rope with all my might, but the other person let go. A feeling of embarrassment came over me, as if I had lost my footing on my own.
Dearyn cleared her throat.
“Okay then, Mr. Sirius.”
“…….”
Of course, if you're speaking informally, isn't it normal to call people by their first names?
Dearyn still didn't think it was enough to just say "Hello, Sirius!", so she added "Sid."
However, Sirius, who was fine with “hello” or casual talk, became weird with “Sirius-san.”
I looked blankly at Dearyn as if I had heard something really strange.
“…… Why why? What’s the problem… It’s you?”
Dayarine was stabbed and frightened alone for no reason.
Even if the words are okay, I can't respect the title, is this something like that?
But Sirius shook his head.
"sir……."
"sir?"
"once again."
"Huh? Mr. Sirius?"
Sirius looked fascinated, as if he heard a loud noise.
