Lapis came back, but she was just in her usual maid clothes, except she had on a pair of fashion glasses. There was entirely no new freshness.

「Sorry to make you wait.」

「Lapis, glasses suit you. Can I hug you?」

「You look more dignified than usual, Ane-sama, it’s wonderful♪」

Lapis’s cheeks were dyed with embarrassment. However, as proof that she didn’t hate it, the corners of her mouth rose.

After cherishing Lapis, Lily pulled out her flying carpet. Seeing it, Lapis made a depressed expression.

「… … …」

Looking as though she were about to cry, Lapis stared at Lily.

Seeing that, Lily made a wry smile. Holding out her arms, she assumed a posture to accept her lover.

Silently, Lapis embraced Lily. It became their regular formation.

In that manner, the two of them boarded the carpet, followed by Sera.

「…Ane-sama, are you bad with high places?」

「…is that bad?」

A voice unimaginably weak for the usual Lapis came out.

「! I-it’s not bad at all! It’s cute!」

Actually, clinging to Lily with both arms and legs, together with a lisp, while about to cry, Lapis was dangerously cute.

While Lapis was complaining that she wasn’t happy that her being scared was called cute, she dejectedly strengthened her grip.

「Then, I’m flying, hold on tightly.」

「Understood.」

「…k」

Raising the carpet, in the span that ‘ah’ was said, they were above the tree line and arrived about 100 meters in the sky.

「…isn’t this higher than usual?」

「You say that every time, Lapis. It is the same height.」

「…if you’re lying, I’m going to be angry.」

It was a lie.

Today, they had to cross over the waterfall where Lapis had fallen before, so they were flying 50 meters higher than when going shopping. It was simply doubled.

But, in order to not further scare Lapis, Lily told a soft lie, despite knowing the risks.

「Lily-neesama, about how long will it take to arrive at the castle?」

「Hm—30~40 minutes perhaps? So, it’ll be shorter than the usual shopping trips, Lapis.」

「…k … …I’ll do my best.」

Weakly nodding, Lapis sank into silence. Knowing from experience that until they arrived Lapis wouldn’t be talking, Lily only rubbed her back, and didn’t talk.

Making her decision, Sera raised her voice.

「Lily-neesama, why don’t we do some simple preparations?」

「That’s fine, but, isn’t it just meeting with the king and queen, cutting relations with them, then fleeing with Horun-chan?」

「Even if you say that, if you don’t go through the trivial details, we may be bound or pursued.」

「For that, we can push through with magic, so it’s fine to not think about it♪」

「…you’ll destroy the power balance by yourself, Lily-neesama.」

「It’s for Lapis, after all.」

Lily was laughing cheerfully, but behind it were feelings that it didn’t matter to anyone but Lapis and those connected to her.

To Lapis and Sera, her witch friend, Iris, those living in the town where they often shop, Lily is kind, but she can’t be called a saint. Although showing no mercy to enemies, aside from them, Lily is indifferent to those who are uninvolved.

This isn’t her being cold, but rather natural as a person. Sera was also taking that into consideration, thus letting it slide.

「Speaking of which, Sera-chan, are you on bad terms with your parents? Lapis has told me faintly that she hates them.」

「My parents, huh… those people probably liked me, but, strictly speaking, I hate them.」

「What? That’s a distorted relationship.」

「Because I pretended to be a capable daughter, they told me that I was their prided daughter. But, on the other hand, with Ane-sama being a failure, they talked about just marrying her off. I thought that they should just die.」

「… …as an example,」

「Hm?」

「For example, I have excessive energy, and without meaning to, by coincidence, disintegrate the king and queen’s heads,」

「Okay.」

「…Are you angry?」

「No, I’m saying that it is uncomfortable, but, like the royal family, I don’t share feelings of being parent and child. I might make a fist pump, but I can affirm that I won’t shed any tears. Ane-sama is the same.」

「I see.」

「But speaking of wants, I’d forgive them with just their dominant arm blasted off. They are, more or less, the country’s tops, after all. The country wouldn’t be able to stand without them. It isn’t my wish to make innocent people suffer.」

「…That’s true, I was thoughtless.」

Lily looked at Sera in a new light.

By that logic, since she doesn’t care about anything other than her sister, she’s a bit dangerous and worrying.

「No, no. Getting angry for Ane-sama’s sake, it makes me happy.」

「Sera-chan, you’re really thinking, huh. I thought you were just a siscon.」

「Hey! That’s being rude, ‘just’… I am the world’s number one!」

「That’s what was rude!?」

…she really is dangerous…maybe?
