4. Afternoon Tea Time – (26)
***
Kikik.
The door opens, and the image of a knight in front of you slowly begins to shine.
Of course, Chersha Kalua, Ashera, who thought she opened her door, is a beautiful blonde knight who exists right in front of her eyes. I couldn’t help but feel that my eyes were shaking at the sight of Ed.
The escort knight.
It is only natural to exist close to the object to be protected.
But even so, that didn’t mean they were sitting in a room with a grown lady.
And if you want such a close escort, women usually want a female knight, not a knight of the opposite s*x.
“…Ed?”
That’s why Ashera’s eyes kept shaking as she held Ed in her mouth.
As if why were we in the same room?
“Lady Asherah…”
Thinking of Ashera like that, Ed, who played her calmness, faced Ashera and tried to refine his voice.
“Have you eaten?”
“I’m on my way to finish it now. What about you, Ed?”
Without even realizing it, she was asking Ashera in a cold, sharp voice.
And knowing the answer, Ashera wanted Ed to give a different answer.
From noble mtl dot com.
“I solved it too.”
However, with Ed’s answer that followed, Ashera erased her own expectations.
“… In this room?”
At Ashera’s question with her cold gaze, Ed nodded her head slightly.
“…Yes.”
She gave a small answer and saw Ed moving away from her as if telling her to come in slowly, Ashera didn’t say anything more.
No, whether it was Ed’s will to her or not, in fact she didn’t really matter. Ashera also guessed that all of that was made because of her, Chersha, and her.
“…”
And Chersha, who had captured all of them in her eyes, slowly faced Ashera.
Unlike Ed’s, he has cold blue eyes.
In the direction of that cold gaze, Chersha herself was at the end.
“Eileen. Please get in the car.”
Ashera, who slowly calmed herself while looking at Chersha, spoke her words in a rather flat tone.
After Ashera entered her, Eileen was waiting outside, but she slowly came inside at Ashera’s words and started to make tea at her table.
“Then I will wait outside.”
Ed looked at them like that and slowly tried to go outside.
Ashera came to Chersha because she thought that if the lady had something to say, she should step aside.
“Ed, wait.”
“Please stop.”
The two women’s voices rang almost simultaneously as Ed tried to go outside.
Chersha and Ashera. The two women looked at each other for a moment.
After an extremely brief glance, both of them turned their gazes to see Ed.
“Wouldn’t it be nice for Ed to enjoy a cup of tea for a while?”
Chersha’s gaze is clearly directed at Ed, but she is actually speaking towards Ashera.
“Yes. Separate coffee for Aileen Ed.”
With the unexpected agreement, the cold atmosphere seemed to soften for a moment.
***
Afternoon tea time when the long sunlight warmly illuminates the interior.
Originally, the time to drink tea would be a time to relax or take a break from heavy work.
As I lifted the coffee cup in front of me, my eyes trembled involuntarily.
His gaze is heavy.
No, it felt like he was suppressing himself.
The eyes pouring from the girls on both sides who can be seen as opposite to oneself.
Sometimes, it felt as if this tea time seat was looking at me reprimanding me if I was aware of my sins.
“The coffee smells good…”
She opened her mouth to change the atmosphere that had sunk too heavily, but her voice trembled a little at the end.
Then, a woman named Eileen glanced at herself lightly from behind Lady Ashera.
Is it because he wants to thank me for his praise? Or are you blaming yourself for saying that in the current situation? It was hard to understand the meaning even when it was in my eyes.
“…Because Eileen is versatile.”
And at the words of Lady Ashera, Eileen’s eyes curled up. Seeing that it was quite different from her own praise, she seemed to be right with the latter.
“The smell of tea is also quite good.”
Chersha also spoke relatively lightly, as if trying to evoke the atmosphere that had subsided inside.
Eileen bowed her head slightly towards Chersha to express her gratitude.
……
After a while, only the sound of her tinkering with her own teacup rang through the small space.
Did they really stop themselves to give themselves a break during tea time? Or is it to reprimand?
While savoring her coffee little by little, Ed continues to have such thoughts.
In the past few days.
She crossed the line with the two women she now drinks tea with.
She
She asked if she could take that feeling towards herself. She acted as if she drew the line for her on the other side, but at the end she said, “Don’t give up on yourself,” She uttered selfish words.
And now.
Although he acknowledged all of that, he was confident that at the end of the day, all of them would embrace him in his arms.
She continues to feel guilty, but Ed eventually admits to himself.
The self that none of them give up.
If you are now thinking of continuing Glad, maybe…. Perhaps.
Chersha and Ashera. Wouldn’t it be possible to embrace all of them? She was thinking that way.
Even if it was my selfish and ugly heart, in the end I couldn’t deceive myself no matter what.
Guilt. Even if I felt disgusting, nothing changed in reality. No matter how much he tried to ignore reality, he was the same as he was now.
And feeling guilty all the time, I didn’t have the confidence to act like I was doing it for one of them every time I dealt with one of them.
However, while admitting myself in the end, I still needed more time.
How should she tell them?
Chersha seems to have already noticed my feelings. In addition, Lady Ashera, who thinks that she will not know this feeling yet.
That’s why I couldn’t tell them my feelings right now without thinking about it.
She had to take her time and slowly convince them that she needed to become more influential.
It must have been excessive greed, but he knew perfectly well that even if it was only one person, he was overflowing with resentment towards himself.
Even so, he cannot give up on anyone.
In that case.
In that case… I had to put in more effort and develop my presence to the point where I could embrace all of them.
A man with multiple women was common in this world. And the opposite is true, of course.
It is only possible because all of them become capable and have confidence.
It was such a grand dream, but I couldn’t help but dream it myself.
I am Chersha and Ashera. Because none of them wanted to give up.
So, in the end, even if you are only one person, you should broaden your scope to the extent that you can put them in your bowl without overdoing it.
Good.
As Ed puts his thoughts down, he gently puts down his coffee cup.
“Ed. Do you have any concerns these days?”
Asherah spoke to Ed as if she had been waiting.
At the warm voice of Ashera, Ed involuntarily twitched her fingers wrapped around the teacup.
What was he thinking right now about the woman who was talking to him warmly like that?
Will he be able to tell his true feelings to Lady Ashera?
Again, a feeling of guilt pierced her heart.
Even so… She licks her lips slowly.
“Worried…Not to the distance.”
I show my usual self casually.
Ashera, with a small frown, continued her words with a voice that seemed to be concerned about her.
“You look like Ed recently, you look tired in my eyes.”
“I guess it’s because I’m worried about the situation in the city right now. It’s not like I’d say it’s a problem.”
And amidst that, Ed naturally used Ashera’s tone of voice that she used when it was just the two of her.
It was a change in behavior that Ed himself was not aware of after thinking of holding both Ashera and Chersha.
Ashera noticed a change in her ed and was talking to her more affectionately than usual, and Chersha noticed more than that and questioned her.
“…?”
Surely, this was the first time I had been with Asherah Glad and Ed.
But there is such a strange feeling in it.
Obviously Ed and Asherah’s relationship isn’t that deep yet, unlike what I thought. Even though he was confident right now, seeing him talking so kindly made me feel uneasy.
Ashera changed her attitude from when she treated herself and spoke to her kindly. Her appearance looked disgusting, but more than that, Ed’s attitude strangely responded without hesitation to her words.
Because Ed was also given the surname of Glead. Maybe a relationship like that was possible between them.
However, Ed’s heart is shaken right now, and the female knight who clearly has a heart for him.
Recognizing that, even their appearance caught my mind.
As if he was mistaken for thinking that they hadn’t reached each other yet…
“…Ed?”
Chersha called Ed out of that anxiety.
