“Pip! Papi!”

Haniwa-chan, walking with small steps, presented a newspaper larger than her own body to Lord Zain.

Lord Zain took the newspaper with a smile, saying "Thank you," and gently stroked Haniwa-chan's small head with his fingertips.

"Hehe, she's really cute."

Watching her like this, I can't help but smile.

──After I woke up at the Windslett Duke's mansion, Haniwa-chan was brought here by Evan.

Recently, she has been helping by delivering the newspaper to Lord Zain every morning. She works hard in many other ways too, and my affection for her grows.

"She's really a good girl."

"Yes, very much so."

Haniwa-chan is always a good girl and an angel, but...

"However, she recently went through a rebellious phase."

"Rebellious phase?"

"Yes. Actually, about half a month ago..."

◇◇◇

"Haniwa-chan, come here."

"Pipa! Pu!"

No matter how I called her, Haniwa-chan turned her face away and refused to move from where she was.

She continued to be cold and distant, leaving me puzzled. No matter what I did, she ignored me or turned her face away.

"What's wrong, Haniwa?"

"Is it a rebellious phase... a 'no-no' phase...?"

Not only I, but Evan and Yana were also bewildered by Haniwa-chan's unusual behavior, tilting their heads in confusion.

I was worried that she might be feeling unwell or have some complaint, so I squatted down next to her.

"What's wrong? Did something upset you?"

"Pepipo! Pepipo!"

Haniwa-chan pointed to the bed that Lord Zain had given her.

"Oh, is she angry because she can't see the Duke?"

"Ugh..."

I couldn't understand Haniwa-chan's words, but "pepi" seemed to refer to Lord Zain, and I felt that Evan's guess was correct.

Haniwa-chan loves Lord Zain so much, but because I've been keeping my distance, she hasn't been able to see him.

"I'm sorry... but you can't see him anymore."

"Pii?"

When I told her this, Haniwa-chan looked like she was about to cry, crawled into her bed, and wouldn't come out.

"Haniwa-chan..."

Seeing her small bottom sticking out from under the handkerchief that served as a blanket, my heart ached terribly.

◇◇◇

"That's what happened..."

That's why, seeing Haniwa-chan now, I feel relieved and my heart warms.

"I see."

Lord Zain also seemed moved by Haniwa-chan's feelings and actions. He picked her up with a gentle smile and hugged her softly.

Haniwa-chan, though she didn't fully understand, hugged him back happily.

As I was moved by the sight of the two of them, Lord Zain suddenly pulled me close by the waist.

"You should never leave me again."

"......"

His words in my ear made my heart race.

"Papa! Popi!"

I nodded vigorously, my face flushed, and Lord Zain smiled contentedly. Haniwa-chan, seeing us, waved her hands and bottom happily.

Even in such a casual moment, I felt incredibly happy.

I truly hope that from now on, I can spend my days with Lord Zain and my beloved Haniwa-chan.

Finally, today is the release day of the second volume of the book! (nervous)
