“……Is that so? Well then, why don’t I test the effectiveness of the potion that Hiroto made? I believe in you, you know?”
“Uu…… Y-yeah……!”
Right now, Filianes-san is no longer under the effect of charm. The charm effect being not something permanent makes me feel sad yet not sad at the same time. Such a complex feeling but…… because of that, my position and Filianes-san’s position in our relationship has swapped.
Even with seeing her smile is already makes me feel helplessly happy. Looking at me mesmerized by her, mom only let out a smile.
“Oh my really this kid is. Each time Filianes-sama come he always become like this. Like he turned into some kind of loyal puppy or something”
“If I really found such cute puppy like him then I definitely want to take him back with me but…… oh pardon me. This way of talking is really rude to your precious child”
“No, no, please take him back home sometime in the future. If he is to enter the knight brigade then my boy would surely become a great help there. Even Ricardo already gives his approval to my boy strength you know?”
At first, dad was panicked when I tell him that I want to help him split some logs to be used as firewood and even tried to stop me from doing so but once he saw me succeed performing my [Wood Splitting] skill, dad starts to teach me how to use an axe appropriately.
If not for that, I would need a longer time to learn the skill [Great Severing]. But even with my dad’s strength, he is still persisting on polishing his skill with the axe and has learnt many high leveled skills because of his perseverance…… Just as expected from my dad is all I have in my mind.
“The successor of the axe knight Ricardo…… Putting oneself in the front line of battle isn’t something that I could recommend others to do but if you do become a knight then bringing peace to our great kingdom seems to become a much easier task indeed”
“…… Work hard, I will”
“Is that so…… good answer! As expected from the boy that I set my sight in. You’ve never failed in answering my expectation”
If it is the knight brigade where Filianes-san is then it might be worth trying to join in. It was the thing that always hanging on my mind lately.
For me, she is also one of the people that I want to protect with my own hand sometime in the future. She has given me the skill [Holy Sword Art] and she always treat me kindly since the first time we met.
Just a moment after the charm effect on her wear off, there are some times where it was awkward when talking directly to her.
But her high favorability toward me had never decreases all this time. It always stays in the highest level [Devoting My Mind and Body for You] and I never noticed it to change even once.
---- But then again, Filianes-san won’t accompany me when sleeping anymore.
“Then…… Remilia-sama, could you let me borrow again the room that I usually use?”
“Yes of course. I always tidy it regularly so the room would always be ready when guests suddenly arrive so please consider yourself at home. Hiroto, mind your manner alright?”
“I-I get it already”
Looking at me who is protesting against mother warning made Filianes-san smiles warmly. Under her warm gaze, I can’t help but feel embarrassed.
“Has Hiroto reached the so called defiance period? You are lucky to have a kind mother like her you know? Not many people are as blessed as you so you must treat your mother kindly okay?”
“…… Yes”
“Huhu…… then that’s good. Well then, let’s go?”
◇◆◇
Filianes-san grabs my hand and we walk together to the guest room that going to be used by her tonight.
Even in front of the two year old me, Filianes-san still take off her armor with a somewhat embarrassed expression. Afterwards when she only wear her inner cloth armor, she sits down on her bed and start combing her long hair.
“Fuu…… My hair always get messed up after fighting”
“L-let me help you…… with that?”
“Ah of course, please do. Hiroto is skillful indeed…… Mar and Aletta also praise your combing skill you know?”
When the knight girls came to stay a while ago, I helped them comb their hair. Sarasa-san had taught me how to comb Riona’s hair before so I am quite familiar with this.
I sit behind Filianes-san that still sitting on the bedside and start combing her silky long blonde hair gently. From the gap between her hairs, I can see her milky white soft skin underneath. I can’t help but getting distracted by that fair skin of hers every time.
“…… Thank you. I kinda feel bad for always asking you to do this for me”
“N-no need…… How about your wound?”
“Actually it was not a big deal. Even if I don’t drink a potion, I can fully heal it after a night rest but…… if this potion is something that Hiroto makes then I want to test it. Is it okay?”
“T-then…… here……”
I give a bottle of potion that I bought to Filianes-san. She then open the cap, examine the blue liquid inside the bottle for a while, give a smile at me, and then without any hesitation, drink it down in one go.
“(gulping sound) Nn……nn…… fuh…… Hmm, it was sweeter than the potion that I usually drink……”
(Eh?...... Sweet?)
I don’t use any sweet ingredient for my potion. I did give some other herb to give a refreshing feeling in the taste but I should’ve not used anything with sugar content in it.
And then suddenly I remember that along the many ingredients that I bought from Meru-neesan, there is an ingredient called [Honeydew of the Moonlight Flower].
(But that ingredient is not used in making potion…… so that means……)
“…… Hic”
(Hiccup?)
Filianes-san let out a hiccup like sound. A large question mark hangs above my head as I turn my gaze at her.
“…… Don’t you think…… hic…… this potion…… is too effective?…… ”
“…… Filianes-san, w-wha……”
