[Recap: New character (secret agent ninja) stalking Lilia was caught and now getting interrogated]

Cynthia timidly met Lilia's gaze . Lilia nodded with satisfaction and then gave her an instruction .

"Take off your mask"

" . . . !"

Cynthia drew in a breath and her eyes swam rapidly . Realizing that her gaze moved towards the ceiling and back several times, Lilia also turned glanced towards it . Perhaps there was another secret agent there .

"You don't mind, right?"

Lilia directed the question towards the ceiling, but there was no reply . Seemed like it was fine . Lilia concluded and tapped the table to urge Cynthia .

"Uh . . . I understand . . . "

Cynthia took off her facemask, and not only Lilia but also Arisa's eyes were wide open .

The face belonged to a fresh, young maiden, with trimmed brown hair . She was probably younger than Lilia and perhaps even Arisa .

"Hey . . . "

Lilia muttered, appearing to be intrigued, while Cynthia's cheeks were flushed from embarrassment . She had earlier assumed that the purpose of the mask was to hide her face, but it seemed like she was just shy about exposing her face .

"Are you serving my brother?"

Listening to Lilia, Cynthia shook her head .

"I don't have a particular Lord yet . I accompany my father as an apprentice . "

I see, Lilia nodded, and turned to Arisa . Arisa nodded as with understanding,

"I've heard that she's a genius appearing once a decade"

"Well, that's great . "

Her gaze returned to Cynthia . The latter was looking down with a glowing red face .

―Lilia . {S}

―Yes . I want this girl . {L}

Considering her age, she might be lacking in experience . But if it was someone talented, she definitely wanted to grab hold of them .

"Cynthia . Do you have a Lord you want to serve?"

If she asked her brother, he may listen to Lilia's request . But she didn't want to obtain her through force . She wanted people who would follow Lilia from their own free will .

"No, not yet . . . "

"Yes . If so, serve me . "

―It sounds like an order! {S}

―Oh, excuse me .

"Pardon me . I meant, why don't you serve me?"

Lilia's words made Cynthia look round . Her eyes seemed to once again dart to and fro from the ceiling . But there was no response . Cynthia bowed her head and spoke in a soft voice .

"Please let me think . . . "

"Yes . I understand . I'm not in a hurry, so think it over . "

It was a little disappointing, but nothing else could be done at this point . Lilia finished up her tea and then slowly headed to the bedroom .

Lilia went to the library in the afternoon, but it seemed that Rei wasn't there . She just wanted to ask him how to teach someone, but with how things were, she went back to her room a little disappointed .

That night, there was a visitor . Lilia, who was studying with Sakura in the bedroom, was called by Arisa to greet them . When she opened the door, there stood Tina flashing a big smile .

"Lilia!"

"Wha . . . !"

The instant Tina realized that it was Lilia, she immediately jumped and hugged her . Lilia stiffened a bit, but quickly regained her bearing and glared at Tina .

"It's dangerous . What are you doing?"

"Ehehe . I'm so happy!"

As she spoke, Tina was looking at Lilia with a big smile . Her face was very close because of their hugging posture . Lilia pushed Tina away, her cheeks slightly flushed .

"I will listen, so please sit down for the time being . "

Saying so, Lilia led her to sit on the table . Arisa immediately served tea .

"So? How was the exam?"

When asked this, Tina's smile deepened . The answer was obvious .

"Perfect score! Thanks to Lilia . Thank you so much!"

Saying so, this time she couldn't really hug because there was a table in between, but she took Lilia's hand on the table . Looking at Tina laughing happily, Lilia was able to feel a faint sense of accomplishment .

"Yes . That's very good . I wonder if you can let go now . "

Tina continued holding Lilia's hand all this time . Rather than being released, Lilia felt Tina's grip growing stronger .

"A little longer"

"What is it . . . "

Lilia sighed, but she didn't feel that bad, so she didn't speak harshly .

―Embarrassed Lilia is so cute .

―I'm not embarrassed .

―Eh . Your face is red, right? Lilia is cute!

―…… .

Saying something more appeared to be useless . Lilia could only let out a sigh .

―But you are my No . 1 best friend! I will not give you to anyone! {S}

―Oh, I don't think of you as my best friend .
