The sunlight shining through the leaves was always beautiful.
It is said that the will of the ruler is hidden in the rays of sunlight.
If there is a ruler, it seems right that he should be in the sunlight.
'No, I have such a pious heart.'
By living a truly sacrificial life while maintaining his duties as a priest, he seems to have become closer to being a true ruler.
Dearyn was amazed at her piety and looked to Sirius, who sent her to the ruler's side day after day.
Sirius was staring blankly through the foliage.
Sometimes, when sunlight passes through my eyes, my eyelids close for a moment.
“Ah, that's it, that's it!”
Deyarin clapped and cheered.
“?”
Sirius turned his eyes to Darren.
“You know how I squinted when I saw the sunlight just now. This time, look up at the sky.”
Sirius followed Dearyn's instructions without question.
“Not this way, this way.”
Dearyn held Ceres' cheeks and pointed them toward the sky, a little closer to the sun.
Sirius's eyes were fixed on the bright blue sky.
My mucous membranes were irritated, just like when I saw sunlight shining through the leaves.
My eyelids closed automatically.
However, because of my warrior instinct of always having a clear vision, I forced myself to look up at the sky.
I felt like there was wind in my eyes.
"…… Yes."
At that moment, Sirius realized what “cold eyes” meant and let out a small exclamation.
Tears flowed to protect my eyes.
When I blinked, I rolled down again.
"Oh, I think you've been looking at him for too long. Sorry. Are you okay?"
Dearyn saw the tears and quickly looked into Sirius' eyes.
Sirius was also keen on seeing, though not keen on hearing.
Since he was more sensitive than the others, the pain could have been greater.
Only when I see tears do I realize it.
“…Okay.”
"Look! I'm sure you didn't get burned at all, right?"
To prove that nothing was wrong, Sirius opened her eyes wide and faced Dearyn without blinking.
“……Oh.”
The eyes that were close together made eye contact.
Diaren swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.
My throat tightened with tension.
However, I couldn't turn away from Sirius or let go of the hand that was holding her cheek.
As if you were tightly bound by something.
“…….”
Sirius's black eyes were deep.
Like deep water with no visible bottom.
As I watched, Deyarin was dragged so deep that I couldn't tell how far she had gone.
At that moment, a gentle wind blew.
The leaves were rustling and sunlight was streaming through them.
The sunlight reached Sirius's flowing bangs and between his long eyelashes.
‘Oh.’
The bright sunlight struck Sirius' hair and eyes, shattering them.
A brilliant, rainbow-like light bloomed from his black hair and eyes.
It was a very short moment.
Deyarin was caught at that moment and was in a daze.
People……shone.
“……My eyes hurt.”
"Oh? Oh?"
At that Sirius muttered.
His eyes focused on Dearren.
"Where are you, still? You're not hurt, are you?"
Dearyn quickly came back to her senses and looked into Sirius' eyes again.
Sirius shook his head and narrowed his eyes.
“Like heaven.”
“Like the sky? My eyes hurt even when I look at the ground like the sky?”
This is a big problem.
Dearyn was confused and grabbed Sirius's hand and dragged him to the palace.
“Are we exposed to the sun because we only work at night? Is it okay not to move too much? Let’s go back to the palace and check.”
Normally, Sirius would run away and Dearyn would be dragged away and cling to Sirius.
But now it's the opposite.
Dearyn leads Sirius by holding his hand.
Dyarin is back, something I've rarely seen before.
Sirius' eyes narrowed again.
My eyes feel pain.
* * *
“It's sweet.”
“Yes….perfect.”
My puppy has finally started talking.
Like it, don't like it, don't do it, yeah.
Goodbye to the days when it was difficult to say more than four words.
The rewards of Deyarin, who had read the book to him for several days, quickly appeared.
The intelligent dog, like everything else, began to speak clearly and began to improve.
However, although I was able to teach him to speak comfortably, I could not control what he said.
“It's as sweet as the smell coming from behind Dearyn's ear.”
“Don't smell it coming from a place like this! No, don't talk about it even if you smell it!”
It was a very long sentence, considering how I felt after taking a bite of cheesecake.
Thinking of Sirius before, tears of emotion should have flowed, but tears of shame overflowed.
It's been a few days already.
"Why. It smells good."
"It's good for you. It may be painful for others to hear. What did you say? You should speak nice, pleasant words for others to hear."
“Hmm…….”
Although it was easy to teach what a word meant, it was difficult to teach it in what situation and what to say.
Moreover, Sirius, who had learned the words, came up with an infinite number of sentences.
“Cheesecake is as sweet as the smell of Darren’s body.”
“…….”
M.M.: Brother Sirius, on his intentions. ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ
I've already thought about it a thousand times, but I feel like giving up.
Adding this once didn't make much difference.
If you give up, you will have nowhere to go and no direction to live.
“Master Sirius.”
Dearyn gritted her teeth and let go of her anger.
Since the only thing the world sees is myself, it only makes sense that I become a standard of expression.
But its intensity was intense.
It was amazing to think about using this in social circles.
“Today's dish is designed to be refreshing just in time for spring.”
“It is the same dish in which Diarin’s eyes received sunlight in the morning.”
You can't see that unless she goes crazy.
No, this would not be something that would be seen in a situation where you first appeared in the social world.
So isn't this good?
No, it is not acceptable that we have to continue to put up with this situation before then.
Above all, I had a strong work ethic.
I had already done the work, but I didn't want to turn a mad dog into a mad dog and send him in another direction.
“Tell me without a doubt.”
“…….”
Sirius kept his mouth shut.
It wasn't meant to be a challenge.
I needed time to think about it.
“It takes time to turn your mind in a direction you're not used to.”
Dayarin decided to wait slowly.
Ceres' progress is indeed rapid.
It's okay to eat a little slowly and at your leisure.
fine…….
“…….”
Sirius' lips showed no sign of opening.
Dearyn grabbed the annoying spirit and shoved a bite of pie into Sirius' mouth.
The chef said he tried a new flavor that he had never tried before.
The chef, who was so busy that he didn't have the opportunity to try the things he really wanted to try, was only able to focus on cooking for two people, so he unleashed his creative spirit to his heart's content.
“How is this?”
Didn't try Diarin, so couldn't tell what it tasted like.
It was a surprise test I created because I thought that if Sirius's expressions made sense when I tried them myself, I could at least gain confidence that I wasn't going in the wrong direction.
Sirius took a few bites, tasted it, then frowned.
“Sack tastes like shit.”
"…… What?"
When I asked him to remove the diarrhea, what came out was a tube?
Why are they so polarizing?
Or were Dearren and Ceres already close?
"Don't just say you feel bad. What exactly does he look like?"
“It tastes like shit. Very.”
“Just changing the front and back of a word doesn't change the meaning, right?”
“It tastes like shit…….”
“Stop. You shouldn't defecate in front of food. Without actually eating the feces...”
Dearyn, who was scolding him, learned something she never wanted to know from the look in Sirius' eyes.
“To keep track of what you ate and the dates…….”
“Whoa, whoa, whoa.”
Dearyn covered Sirius' mouth desperately.
I felt like if I lifted any more, I wouldn't be able to eat anything until tomorrow, let alone the pie in my hand.
By the way, why does Unit 8 treat its members so harshly?
There was no need to feed them things like that.
Sirius's anger at Bey's assessment towards the Head of Unit Eight broke out.
"Okay. I'll try that first."
Dearyn looked at the remaining pie in her hand.
The color was a bright green that was difficult to see in regular dishes.
Deyarin sniffed suspiciously.
“Does it smell good?”
The smell of sugar and honey wafted in the air.
There was an odor of an unknown ingredient, but it wasn't unpleasant.
I thought there might be some likes and dislikes with this scent.
It's a smell you don't normally encounter, so it's hard to say it's bad.
Dearyn carefully took a bite from the end of the pie.
Deyarin, who was afraid to put it on her tongue and slowly dissolve it and taste its taste, opened her eyes.
“What does this taste like?”
Is it really delicious?
Diaren couldn't believe it and asked for the pie again.
This time, unlike my timid first bite, I put a lot in my mouth.
Even when I ate it, it was still delicious.
The more you eat, the more delicious it becomes.
“Is it delicious?”
“……I can’t understand.”
This time Sirius looked at Dearyn with an expression of disbelief.
This was the first time that Sirius had refuted Dearyn's opinion by eating food.
Dearyn had the confused expression on the face of a parent who realized their child had grown too much.
It's good that Sirius is becoming more assertive.
But this was really delicious.
