Chapter 8

On the

way home from buying rice.

Engaging

in skinship, Lapis walked while holding Lily’s hand. Of course, their fingers

were interlocked.

To Lily, who suddenly had her hand taken, she was surprised, but soon accepted and showed a smile on her face.

But,

even now, her face was red— Lapis’s face was.

「Why are

you being all shy now?」

「B-because,

Lily-san’s hand, is so smooth and pretty」

「Thank

you for the praise, but as expected, it’s embarrassing, huh. Speaking of which,

earlier, you said that on the carpet, you’d cling to me right?」

「That’s

for high pla—…」

Lapis’s

movements completely stopped.

People

passing by gave her a puzzled look.

「…you

forget?」

「…I

forgot.」

「Um, how

about you close your eyes before we fly back? You can keep clinging to me.」

「…okay,

I’ll do that.」

Lily

walked while almost pulling Lapis, whose walking speed had definitely

decreased.

They

finally reached the gate where Rozzo was guarding. Also around that time, she

had become unsatisfied with only holding hands, thus they walked while linking

arms. If Lily was the other gender, anyone would’ve thought of them as a

couple.

「Ya, Rozzo-kun,

good work.」

「…Your

companion girl doesn’t look so good, she ok?」

「Yeah,

she’ll be good in 2 hours. Then, see you.」

「Oh, take

care.」

Saying

a parting to Rozzo, they walked for about 5 minutes.

When

they couldn’t see any people, Lily brought out the flying carpet from her

pocket.

「Ok,

Lapis-chan, come.」

「…okay. …I’ll

be clinging with all my strength.」

「I-I

understand.」

Seeing

Lapis act all cutely and dizzily, Lily accepted her request.

Climbing

onto the carpet, Lapis closed her eyes and clung to Lily with both arms and

legs.

Everything

was ready. Then, the carpet took off into the sky.

「Only 2

hours, so hang in there. If you need to, you can also go to sleep.」

「…I want

you to tell a story.」

「Really?

Then, do you have any requests you’d like to hear? Like magic, or the secret to

long life and youth?」

「…Lily-san,

do you have a person you like?」

「Woah, an

unexpected question」

Lily

gave a lonely laugh in a surprised manner. Fortunately, since they were

hugging, her face couldn’t be seen.

「…right

now, there isn’t anybody. A long time ago there was, but we aged…」

「…Lily-san

doesn’t look like she has aged.」

「Fufu,

thank you. But it couldn’t be helped. My appearance doesn’t change, but she

steadily grew older. By the end, she said that she didn’t want to see my face.」

「…“she”?」

「Ah,

yeah. Yeah, it’s weird, isn’t it? But don’t get me wrong, it’s because I like

girls.」

「…Really?」

「Yeah, I

don’t hide secrets from Lapis-chan. Ah, but, I won’t do anything without my

partner’s consent, so it’d make me happy if you don’t worry.」

「I, I

like Lily-san」

「Fufu,

thank you. I also like Lapis-chan.」

「…Nn… I

like you」

After

that, they continued in silence for the next 2 hours, until the two of them

returned to the hut.

「Haaa…aaa」

「What’s

up with that weird sigh?」

「Don’t

know. I feel like I suddenly want to do it.」

「! Maybe

that, that is one of Lapis-chan’s tendencies, from your lost memories? Let’s

test out some things and your memories might—」

「Nono, I

don’t want that method. It’s not cool」

As

though pouting, Lapis said 「I’m

going to change.」 and

entered the hut.

Lily

put away the carpet and then followed behind.

While

Lapis changed, Lily decided to do what she could and took out the tableware

from the magic bag and arranged it on the shelf.

Then Lapis

came back, wearing her maid uniform.

「Wa! Lily-san

is organizing the tableware! Are you okay? Should I help?」

「…You

know, Lapis-chan. Even I can do this much.」

「Ahaha,

sorry, sorry. By the way, how do you use that?」

「Hm?」

Lapis

pointed at the magic bag.

「I was

wondering, how do you take out an object inside it?」

「Ah,

that. You think of the item you want and then put your hand inside and pull it

out. Do you want to try?」

「Sure!」

Lapis

accepted the magic bag from Lily and while murmuring “…eggs, eggs”, she put her

hand into the bag and pulled out the eggs.

「Ooh!」

「Fufu,

each of your reactions is so honest, it’s cute.」

「Ehehe.

Ah, but, Lily-san. What would you do if you forgot what is inside the magic

bag? If you flip it upside down, will it come out?」

「No, it

won’t come out with something like that. At those time, if you recite 『Release』—」

The bag

reacted to Lily’s words, releasing a bright light, and spilled meat,

vegetables, and other ingredients all over the vicinity.

Fortunately,

there weren’t any crushed ingredients. It could be called a ‘fine play’ that

Lapis took out the eggs earlier.

「…」

「…」

「…..」

「…..」

「…..ha」

Lapis

took in a deep breath.

「—LILY-SAN!」

「So- I’m

very sorry!」

The girls’ lunch was still a bit in the future.
