The maid watched the two quarrel from beginning to end, then asked quietly:

“Can I set everything up so you can shower together?”

“……Is this possible?”

“If you want, it should be possible.”

There was no one to point out rules that differed slightly from ordinary world concepts, even if they were far from common understanding. There are other rules that circulate only among the nobles, but they are certainly different from those that Deyarin holds in her thoughts.

“……Yes……, well…….”

Dearyn bowed her head in defeat, and shrugged.

The courtiers also said it was possible, so there was no reason for Sirius to back out.

Well, do as you want...

Having already realized that she was not of the nobility, Dearyn lost her enthusiasm for teaching Sirius.

What's the point of teaching him the rules while he sticks to his more noble behavior?

“Okay, can you wait a little while?”

“I'll wait outside…”

Dearyn stumbled out of the bathroom and fell onto the sofa.

Sirius followed her, sat down next to her and tried to bury his face in her lap.

But Deyarin blocked his face with her hand.

“……Darren, your knee.”

Sirius's angry breath escaped between his fingers.

When I quickly removed his hands as they were tickling me, Sirius immediately sought to straddle my lap.

But right now, Deyarin didn't feel like bending her knees or petting his hair.

He's grown up now. Why should I pet a big dog?

“Go away.”

"I don't want."

“I don't want to either.”

Sirius didn't get any closer to Deyarin because of her refusal, but he didn't back down either.

Any small gap would cause Sirius to immediately scramble to lie down.

His desire to do what he wanted no matter what, was truly something a young noble could do.

“It's over, Nabil.”

The problem was that Sirius wasn't the noble De'Arrin had in mind.

How did she think he would turn into a noble after being a mad dog?

There was a path between the mad dog and the nobility.

Nabil is “like” a mad dog.

Noble with a nature “like a mad dog.”

Yes, it was.

When Sirius began to talk less and express his opinions, he eventually turned into a “gentleman with a nature like a mad dog.”

'Is this true...?'

Deyarin felt mixed emotions as she looked at her conclusion.

“Everything is ready.”

“...let's go.”

Just in time, the maid's voice intervened.

Dearyn pushed Sirius away and stood up suddenly.

Whether she was going to refrain from offering her knees or join in the shower with him, she was feeling nervous either way.

For now, she just wanted to avoid conflict with Sirius' insistence.

But in front of the bathroom door, Deyarin stopped again.

'What? Aren't we supposed to get into the bathtub together completely naked?'

The features of the bathroom have changed in a very short period.

A bathtub, massage bed and one chair have been added, as well as an increase in essential oils and soap.

There were two bathtubs.

Although they would not go into the same basin, there was no barrier separating them.

In Dearyn's mind, an alarm bell began to ring intermittently and confusedly.

No matter how acceptable a gentleman's behavior may be, is it really a good idea to bathe naked with a friend of the opposite sex?

Deyarin was the only one who froze with tension.

“First, I will help you change into your bathroom clothes.”

At that moment, the maid approached and offered a bathrobe.

“Ah, breathe a sigh of relief...”

Dearyn let out a sigh of relief at the sight of the bathrobe provided by the maid.

Professionals always seem to have plans.

Deyarin's confidence in the professionalism of palace maids has increased dramatically.

As she walked with the maid to the dressing area at the side of the bathroom, she glanced at Sirius.

Sirius seemed settled as he was in the same bathroom as Dearren, so he quietly moved with the maid to the dressing area…

“Oh!”

…Before she could think about it, he had already taken off his clothes and thrown them away.

In front of people! His clothes!

How many times have you taught him not to do that, why?

No, in fact, this is supposed to be a noble behavior!

But it's not entirely true!

Thoughts mingled in Diaren's head.

She didn't know he did it to others, because it didn't happen in front of her, but she didn't know he did it all the time!

Him acting that way in front of others is more problematic than doing so in front of her.

Should you go back now and teach him? No, not now. Not at this moment.

I've seen it all, but if I look now at Ceres, I'll see something I can never look at directly again.

“I didn't see anything. I didn't see anything at all...”

Diaren convinced herself and went into the changing area.

When the maids took off her clothes and put on a bathrobe, she once again felt comfortable.

The bathrobe was designed so he could slip it on and get into the bathtub.

Even if she wears it and enters the water, nothing will leak out, helping her avoid embarrassing atmosphere.

Sirius had already gotten into the tub and sat down.

There was no idea why he was wearing a bathrobe, it was hanging off his body inexplicably.

Dearyn closed her eyes tightly, wrapping the bathrobe tightly around her body before carefully stepping into the tub.

Sirius's eyes were intently watching the process.

“Ah…”

As she sat in the warm water, she let out a sigh.

Tense muscles melted into the warm water.

Under the warm gaze of Sirius, and the gazes of the surrounding maids.

It was so stressful I couldn't take it.

In the steam from the hot water, I couldn't see Sirius sitting in the adjacent bathtub.

When I was out of sight, I felt like I could breathe a little.

Dearyn smiled wryly and looked at the ceiling.

'It seems I can't live as a noble.'

On the contrary, Sirius really looked like a gentleman, even if it wasn't intentional.

Our noble has already grown up. Our crazy dog.

Because of the steam, I couldn't see Ceres, as if I had taken child care leave.

Since I met Sirius, I have never been separated from him for a moment, except for that brief time when we went to the temple.

I didn't leave him alone because of his anxiety, but it's different now than then.

Seeing a mature dog that does not know how big it is, running non-stop, reflects the feelings of the breeder.

The problem now is that it is time to graduate from child care and not just take a vacation.

That puppy doesn't realize he's become an adult dog.

'What should I do with you...?'

It's really time for Dyaren to move away.

She imagined how he would enter the high society of the palace, clinging only to her, and nuzzling his nose at others.

Plus he would strip naked in front of anyone and display his 'third arm'?

Hema: Don't think too much about words

...ah.

My head started to hurt.

I didn't raise a puppy to show that picture!

He must roam the concert hall, garnering admiring glances from everyone!

So I have to hide under the phrase “How can the members of the 8th Division be so beautiful and well-mannered!”

I have now gone beyond hoping that things will gradually improve.

There is no longer time for “graduation.”

I had to prepare to have our dog removed from my lap.

So that he can live well without Darren.

One day, he would remember, "There was a priestess named Dayaren who took good care of me. Thanks to her, I became a great noble. I don't know if everything is going well these days, but thanks to her, I got a promotion, so we both have a good interest."

They will remember, but they will allow the busy current reality to keep them from thinking about past connections.

“I'm going to rinse your hair.”

Sirius took care of his hair first.

When the maid poured water on Sirius' hair, the steam that separated them suddenly dislodged.

Dearyn automatically turned to Sirius.

And with the blink of her eyes.

In that very short moment, Deyarin's eyelids lowered and then rose, as if it were a curtain in a theater covering what was in front of him before it was lifted.

Sirius's face, which had been hidden behind the steam, appeared when the sudden steam faded.

‘……Did Sirius have a face like that?’

It was Sirius, lowering his eyes slightly and tilting his head back, as if he was someone from a distant world that Dearren did not know.

A few days ago, the face of Sirius, which Dearren looked at from her bed, looked like that of a strange man.

A primitive beast was savagely devouring half-cooked, half-roasted pieces of meat from the ground.

A weak monster was curled up on a strawberry-spotted rug, searching for Deyaren's heartbeat as he fell asleep.

A monster that suddenly rose and roared at the sound of a bird had completely disappeared.

All that remains is the young man who receives the services of others normally.

'He's really grown up.'

Even though his body was mature when he came to Daren, she again felt that he had now matured as the son of a noble family.

Suddenly, it felt as if there was cold air blowing from somewhere.

Dearyn's shoulders tightened.

Sirius's eyes opened suddenly again.

As soon as his eyes opened, his gaze automatically turned towards Dearen.

It was as if his gaze, which was not looking at Deyarin as a stranger, had returned to its rightful place.

No matter how big he got, Sirius's gaze went nowhere else.

It is as if he knew only Dyaren from the moment of his birth until the moment of his death, unchangeably and unchangeably.

“Dyaren.”

Sirius' call echoed in the bathroom.

Was it due to the temperature of the water?

Dayaren felt a hot sensation hit her heart, making her feel shocked and look away.

Heat flowed from her chest until it reached her ears.

Apparently the shower water was... very hot.
