「Lapis,

can you brew some black tea. For today, Darjeeling tea is fine.」

「Don’t

act like you know all about black tea. We only have Darjeeling tea.

—Understood, just wait a moment.」

After

confirming that Lapis headed off to the kitchen in a fussy manner, Lily faced

Iris.

「Now

then, what do you want to ask?」

After

showing a small thinking posture, Iris opened her mouth.

「…So,

Lily-senpai is into girls, it seems.」

「That’s

right. It’s not like I was hiding it, or that I wouldn’t talk about it」

「I’m

aware. Then, if I were to confess to senpai, would you accept?」

「…」

Lily

sunk into silence. It was so sudden that her brain couldn’t catch up quick

enough.

「Eh, so

you mean–」

「Of

course it’s a joke, since senpai isn’t my type.」

「! Don’t

make fun of your seniors.」

「Sorry,

I just got a little bit jealous. At least let me look a lot.」

As if giving

up on something, Iris smiled.

From

that facial expression and her previous words, Lily came to a conclusion.

「…Don’t

tell me」

「It was

love at first sight.」

Iris’s

previous gaze had aligned with Lapis, who had a serious face as she checked on

the condition of the tea leaves.

「Seeing

such a lovely figure, I was doubting my own eyes. I couldn’t believe it from

just looking, so I let out my voice, but… Haha, it seems that it became a

nonsensical talk.」

「…」

「I was

further surprised when I heard her voice. It was clear and beautiful, just like

a bell.」

「…」

「I was

going to confess on the way home. If I were to succeed, I would have

celebrated. If I failed, I wouldn’t stop by anymore. If it’s cleaning, she is

already doing that, after all.」

「…」

「But… I

didn’t think that I wouldn’t be able to even step up to the challenge. It was

my first heartbreak, but, I guess it was surely coming.」

「…sorry,

but Lapis is my girlfriend. More than you, I’m sore suited to be together with

her.」

「Heh. I

also think so. It’s frustrating, but, you are very suited for each other… I’m

very jealous of that」

「…thank

you.」

Responding

with tears, Iris showed a smile full of spirit and Lily, to the utmost respect,

thanked her.

Ruled

under an unpleasant silence, Lapis returned from brewing some tea.

「Sorry for

the wait. Wait, Lily, Iris-san, what’s wrong!? Somehow it seems really depressing

in here…」

「Eh? N-no,

everything’s fine. Thank you for the tea.」

「?

Iris-san as well, here you go. It’s fine to bring your mouth to it」

「Thank

you.」

With

elegant movements, Iris drank from the cup.

「…It’s

delicious. I’ve never drunken such delicious tea before.」

「Ehehe,

you’re exaggerating.」

「No, I’m

serious… How about it, Lapis? Would you marry me and make tea every day for me?」

「Ahaha,

so Iris-san is also telling jokes. But, I’m sorry, I’m already Lily’s♡」

「…Haha,

so I was rejected. —I hope you find happiness.」

「Thank

you!」

Iris

forcefully laughed, drank her tea, and then stood up.

「Now

then, I should be leaving soon.」

「Eh? But

didn’t you just get here?」

「That’s

true, but, there’s nothing for me to do, but more than that… haha, staying for

any longer in your love nest would be painful.」

「Hau!」

Turning

bright red, Lapis stiffened, as Iris said 「At that」and

stepped outside. From behind, Lily continued.

「Then,

Senpai. I’m a little, I’m going on a broken heart trip, do you have any recommendations?」

「…In

that case, the eastern island country should be good. I’ve never been there,

but, the food seems delicious.」

「Fumu.

Then, I’ll try going there. Before long, I’ll bring back a souvenir.」

「…okay,

I’ll be looking forward to it.」

In just

a moment, Iris closed the distance and got behind Lily with a mischievous

smile.

「Let’s

meet again, Lily」

「!」

Iris

pressed her lips to Lily’s defenseless cheek and kissed her, before hopping on

her broom and flying away.

Lily

held her cheek in a dumbfounded state.

Not

knowing her disciple’s reason for her action, Lily tilted her head—all of a

sudden, from her back, Lily felt an extravagant chill.

Fearfully,

Lily turned around.

「…Lily…」

There

seemed to be a blizzard behind the severe, yet silently angry Lapis.

Now,

Lily finally realized. Iris performed her last action since she knew that Lapis

was there.

Feeling

deceived, Lily desperately tried to explain.

「Th-that’s

wrong, Lapis! That was just Iris’s own selfish–」

「Ah!?」

「I’m

sorry!」

With a

snap, Lily straightened her back. But, thinking that her own beloved Lapis was

getting seriously angry over that made her a little happy—

「What

are you grinning for!? Are you reflecting!? Lily, seiza!!」

「S-sayzha?」

「The

traditional method for reflecting from the eastern island country! Right there,

bend your knees and sit!」

「The eastern

island country again!」

「LILY!」

「Yes! I’m

sitting!」

‘Yeah, as expected I’d like to do this in moderation’, so thought Lily.
