Chapter 12

Parsed with an automated reader. The content accuracy is not guranteed.

Not

even a fragment of Lapis’s memory had returned. Even so, she still passed her

time cheerfully, brightly, and with happiness.

Of

course, a lot of this was due to Lily’s existence. But, aside from that, being

able to do the things that she liked brought happiness to Lapis.

They

didn’t have a way to return Lapis’s memories, but it seemed that before, Lapis

wasn’t in a position to say what she wanted to do. For that reason, Lapis was having

fun doing the cooking and cleaning. Even more so if it can make her loved one

happy.

Telling

such to Lily, as expected, she guessed that Lapis was from an aristocratic family.

From

here, it was just Lily’s hobby of imagining but— noble Lapis was to be

married to the prince of a neighboring kingdom, but since she didn’t want to

marry him, she ran away from home. While somehow continually escaping from her

pursuers, she slipped into the river. Along the riverbed, she hit her head,

resulting in amnesia, coincidentally being found by Lily— without any basis

for the story, Lily unveiled a magnificent story.

There

weren’t any contradictions, even if many delusions were mixed in, it was

somehow hard to refute.

In that

way, Lapis spent her days concurrently between practical and hobby-like

housework, increasing her repertoire of eastern island country foods, and

flirting with Lily.

Lily

spent her busy everyday working on magic tools, taking care of requests from

dignitaries that she hasn’t told Lapis about yet, and being kind to Lapis.

On the

day about 20 days since the two of them became lovers, a certain visitor came

over. In other words, it had been one month since Lapis had been picked up.

Right,

it was Lily’s witch friend’s visit.

That

day, Lapis was working hard at gardening. In that one month, Lapis’s home

clothes had become the maid uniforms. Whether it was for cooking, cleaning, or

gardening, Lapis believed that those clothes were functionally all-purpose

clothes.

Pulling

out the weeds, she watered the plants, specifically she was raising lilies.

As

expected, Lapis had no gardening knowledge, so Lapis was unsure if it’d turn

into a proper garden, but she still had fun in the process.

Then—

「(Ehehe,

a flower with the same name as Lily.)」

Thinking

such thing, Lapis’s mood skyrocketed.

Perhaps

because of that—

「Hou,

are those lilies? You have a pretty good sense.」

Suddenly

from behind, she heard a voice, from a presence she hadn’t noticed earlier.

Startled,

Lapis panicked and turned around. There, she found a tall, tanned, and

beautiful young girl with light purple hair.

「Lilium

longiflorum, lilium auratum, lilium rubellum, and even lilium formosanum.

Indeed, you have a beautiful sense.」

「O-okay…

thank you?」

「Though,

it is regrettable that there aren’t any lilium candidum. Well, you should

occasionally differentiate between your plants. Since you’re trying to raise

them, it should be good to know.」

「O-okay…

thank you」

「Ah,

sorry, I haven’t introduced myself yet. I am Iris, Lily-senpai’s disciple.」

「Ah, I’m

Lapis, Lily’s lov—I’m living together with Lily.」

It

might not have been bad to say that they were lovers, but Lily might’ve wanted

to keep it hidden, so Lapis quickly changed her words.

「Fumu,

so, you’re working a live-in job. To think there could be a maid that can deal

with Lily’s mess. For being so young, you’re quite capable.」

Ah, no,

even though I’m wearing these clothes, I’m not a maid. These are just like

hobby clothes, although I do thoroughly complete house chores.」

「Is that

so, my apologies. But, if you’re doing the cleaning, there won’t be a need for

me to come over, since once a month, I’d perform a large routine cleaning.」

「Um,

sorry.」

「What,

there’s no reason for you to apologize. Rather, I should be thanking you, since

Senpai is the type of person that won’t put things away, even if you tell her

many times.」

「Ah,

ahaha, I can’t deny that.」

「Right?

But, since I came all the way out here, it’d be boring to just go home. You’d

think she could at least show her face.」

「In that

case, please, come inside. Lily is probably at her desk, working on magic

circle research.」

「Ah,

sorry, I’ll do that.」

Lapis

easily cleared away the dust and opened the door, to welcome Iris.

The hut

that Iris entered was much cleaner than her imagination, the inside had more

than enough room to breathe.

Lily

was working in some document at her desk. She seemed deep in concentration and

didn’t notice when Lapis and Iris entered the room.

Her

gaze was serious, definitely not an atmosphere to interrupt.

「…now is

probably not a good time to interu–」

「Lily!

We have a visitor!」

Lapis

broke the serious atmosphere with a yell in a loud voice. From experience, if

it wasn’t that loud, Lily wouldn’t notice.

Ignoring

the surprised Iris, Lapis shakes Lily’s shoulder.

Finally,

Lily notices them.

「Ara,

sorry. I was so concentrated that I didn’t realize you were there. Welcome,

Iris.」

「Y-yes,

it’s been a month, Lily-senpai.」

「That’s

right, huh. Though, sorry, thanks to Lapis, there isn’t anything to clean」

「Exactly.

However, are you fine with that?」

「? With

what?」

「You

seemed quite concentrated and we ended up bothering you」

「Fufu,

Lapis has my highest priority so it’s all good.」

While

saying that, Lily embraced Lapis’s shoulders.

And

Lapis became a bit red.

「…You

seem to have quite the good relationship.」

「Of course,

she’s my girlfriend, after all.」

「Ha?」

「Like I

said, she’s my girlfriend. My lover♪」

Iris

freezes at a loss for words. After a few seconds pass, Iris turns her head

mechanically and looks at Lapis.

Lapis gave

a happy-looking smile and bowed.

「Nice to

meet you, I’m Lily’s lover, Lapis. From here on, I look forward to making your

acquaintance.」

Iris froze up again, for the second time.
