Upon returning to the estate from the townhouse, the first person to greet us was May.
Once the carriage was alongside the entrance, an angel jumped out at us.
"'Miss Marianne! It is dangerous!"
Without bothering to listen to the maidservant who was trying to stop her, Marianne came bounding over.
“Oni~shama. One~shama. Welcome back home!”
"I'm home! May!"
I ran over and hugged May, who jumped in my arms. She laughed happily. Fufu. She's so cute.
At the age of three, Mei was heavier than when we had parted ways in the territory before we entered the Magic Academy. Proof that she's grown up.
On the day we left for the royal capital, she was crying so hard because she didn't want to leave me.
As I held her in my arms, she would alternately kiss my brother and me on the cheek.
"Fluffy!"
May points at Leon and motions for him to turn into a fluffball. Leon let out a sigh and turned into his cat form.
When I lowered May from my arms, she was smiling and laughing as she fluffed Leon's fur. It was such an innocent smile.
An angel and the fluffiness. It was the most healing picture. I couldn't take it any longer, so I hugged Leon and May at both sides.
"Ah, how healing."
"Fufu. May loves Rio as always, doesn't she?"
Mother, wearing a bright royal blue dress, came down the stairs with graceful steps. She looked as beautiful as ever. It is hard to believe that she is the mother of three children.
"Mom. I'm home."
"Welcome home. Sieg. Rio. Leon."
"We are home, mother. Where's Father?"
My brother was trying to locate my father, who was nowhere to be seen.
"We’re having dinner with the sponsors of Sandorion today. I am preparing for it now. Please take care of May. Forgive me for asking this of you after you have just returned."
"I see. Have a safe trip."
"Thank you. Oh, yes, Rio. During the social season, we are planning to have tea parties and soirées at our house. You can help me write the invitations and prepare for the soirées. You'll have to learn how to do that soon."
In general, the mistress of the house is in charge of social affairs. For a noblewoman to become a respectable mistress in the future, she has to learn how to take charge from her mother when she holds a tea ceremony or an evening party. In my previous life, I had never actually helped my mother, although I had learned all about it in my queenly education.
"Of course, Mother. I'm looking forward to it, especially since I didn't learn anything like that from you in my previous life."
"Really? Well, you'll have to work hard to help me."
Leon was struggling and before I knew it, May was grabbing the hem of my dress.
“May also help you!”
"Oh my, May truly is such a good girl. So, help me out, too, May."
She bent down to meet May’s gaze and stroked her soft blonde hair.
"Ai! Leave it to me!"
May hugged and kissed Mother on the cheek.
"What a lively, gorgeous bunch you are. The ladies of my family are just spectacular."
Father came down the stairs a little later. He was the head of a respectable household, but after undergoing the trials, he became completely fearless and, regrettably, a very handsome man. But wearing an elegant frock coat, he still exuded the air of a nobleman.
"Welcome back. Sieg, Rio, Leon-sama. I know it's a bit soon after you returned, but can you take care of May for me?"
"Today I'm going to take a bath with my sister and sleep together."
She flashed a sparkling smile at me. How could I refuse?
"Leave it to me, father. We will spend the night together, brother and sisters."
I turn to my brother and he gives me a shrug. I guess that means it's okay.
"Well then, we’ll be off."
"Yes, have a good evening. Father, Mother."
Father escorted Mother to the carriage, which was parked on the porch. After seeing them off, I carried May in my arms and returned to my room.
After changing out of my dress and into my loungewear, I ate dinner with Mei, which was served in my room. Then, after a short rest, I started to take a bath. The first thing I did was wash Leon.
"Mofumofu. Wash~wash~wash."
May hummed happily as she washed Leon in the bathroom.
"Hey! You're using too much strength, May. Be a little more gentle."
"One~shama. I love fluffy fluffy."
I laughed at the exchange between Leon and May.
"Leon, you're not very popular with children. May, when you wash Leon, you should trace his fur with your fingers like this."
I showed her how to wash Leon, and Leon narrowed his eyes in satisfaction. May went to the other side of me and started to wash Leon, imitating me.
"Like this? One~shama."
"Yes. Very good, May."
May is a quick learner. She took to washing Fluffy with great dexterity.
After we finished washing Leon, May and I took a long soak in the bath. I left the grooming of Leon's hair to Marie.
This is something I could not have done in my previous life, spending time together in the bath.
"I'll protect you, May."
I hugged her tightly. She stroked my hair.
“One~shama, I’ll protect you.”
Aah, my sister is an angel.
When I got out of the bath, Leon was sitting on the sofa with his hair groomed by Marie.
"You guys are late. What if you get dizzy?"
"Oh? Won't Leon take care of us then?"
Leon wagged his bushy tail and turned away saying, "Well, yeah." Fufu. Is he shy?
Marie prepared some lemon water for us after my bath.
"Miladies. Here's your lemon water."
"Thank you, Marie."
May's lemon water came with a straw to make it easier to drink. The straws are made from ears of wheat. It allows you to drink a little at a time, and there is less risk of a small child accidentally dropping the glass.
I relaxed on the couch with a glass of lemon water. Leon and May were fighting over who would sit on my lap.
"One~shama’s lap belongs to May!"
"Rio's lap has been mine since before you were born!"
I picked up the bickering pair at the same time and placed them on my lap. I've been practicing my sword every day, so I'm surprisingly strong.
"Why don't you two just share? We don't have to fight!"
With an angel and a fluffy on each knee, I feel really happy. Oh, it's soothing.
"You're the most mature one, Katariona-sama."
Marie chuckled as she combed my hair.
I lay down on the bed and May quickly fell asleep. I combed her bangs out of her face and stared at her sleeping face.
"Oh, my sister is so cute. She’s an angel."
"Rio is a sis-con."
Leon, who hadn't fallen asleep yet, reacted to my whisper. Leon too usually falls asleep as soon as he curls up in bed, but today he was awake. That's odd.
"Leon, you're awake?"
"Well, sort of."
Leon slipped out from under the pillow and came between May and me. Then he turned around and made his place to sleep.
"Umu. It’s calming."
"Leon is also cute."
I smiled as I stroked his fluffy fur.
I smiled as I stroked his fluffy fur.
My cheeks heated up. When someone you love (God?) calls you cute, you feel embarrassed. Leon may not be aware of that though......
".......Leon. Don't use that line on anyone but me."
"I'll only say it to Rio."
This Fluffy is too handsome! In human form he is really handsome, but…...
"If you break your promise, you'll have to wear a ribbon while in human form."
"...... Oh, please don't do that."
His ears twitched in disgust.
I lay down on the bed beside him. My own room in the estate is still relaxing.
