Chapter 105

“Arelin, you decide. Who’s at fault?”
Why was I suddenly faced with this trial?
“Arelin, it was Ciel’s fault, right? Right? He said he didn’t want to perform.”
“Noel, don’t talk like that! Does it make sense to try to monopolize such a wonderful performance?”
“Why not?! There’s only one Arelin!”
What is this? Why are they fighting? Why is this happening?
Just when I thought they’d forgotten about me, the Demon Twins had launched their second offensive.
“Hey, you two?”
The argument that had begun that way never ended until we left, and the Demon Twins hadn’t made up.
“This shouldn’t have turned out this way.”
My plan to strip items from the Demon Twins using them as leverage? I never got to say a word because they suddenly started fighting!
“Fession, what do we do?”
Fession came up with a refreshingly simple answer.
“Let’s leave them alone.”
“…What?”
“Forget about the Demon Twins. Let’s go play together.”
I was bewildered watching Fession smile so easily.
You’re not usually like this.
“No, Fession. I think you’re not understanding the situation. The Demon Twins are fighting?”
“They can fight too.”
“But they’re Demon Twins.”
I’d never seen them fight before. Not even in the novel did they fight, according to what I’d read.
“Fession, did they ever fight before?”
“No.”
Fession, who’d visited Halbern Manor saying he’d finally made time after a long while, smiled broadly.
Was I the only one taking this seriously?
“They’ll make up eventually.”
“I thought so too, but…”
It’s apparently been a cold war for several days now.

* * *

Sperom Manor was facing an unexpected situation.
“Why is Young Lord Ciel acting like that?”
“And what’s wrong with Young Lord Noel?”
“Who knows. Word is they fought at Halbern.”
From Sperom’s senior retainers down to the lowliest servants, nobody could adapt to the “anomalies” being displayed by Sperom’s notorious Demon Twins.
How many people had they tormented together, born on the same day with perfectly synchronized movements?
“…”
“…”
When the two—even their rooms were right next to each other—came out, their eyes met immediately.
The servants couldn’t even breathe.
“Hmph!”
The Demon Twins, who’d been attached at the hip all day long, were now keeping their distance? And not even acknowledging each other’s existence? Instead, they glared at each other as if they might devour one another?
Still, since they were Demon Twins, things would surely go back to normal in a day or two, right?
The retainers and servants kindled their hope.
“Why did this have to happen to us?”
But that miracle never came to pass.
The Demon Twins created a hellscape even while fighting. The only conclusion they reached was that the Demon Twins’ reputation was well-deserved.
“We should request assistance.”
They could no longer endure this thin ice.
“From whom?”
“Why, there’s only one person.”
“Lady Arelin…!”

If there was an internet, I’d want to ask.
<Two friends got into a fight. How do I make them reconcile?>
They’re asking me to make the Demon Twins reconcile—I’d have to have done something like this before to know.
This is my first time making friends, after all.
“What do I do?”
I asked people around me.
“Ha ha! Kids always fight and grow up that way!”
“A little fisticuffs at that age…”
I decided never to ask the Saren Knights anything again.
Their brains seemed to be made of muscle.
“Miss, you’re truly an angel.”
“Even caring about her friends—what else would you call that but an angel!”
“Ah, the worrying miss is so cute.”
The Childcare Unit vanished into their own world.
“Wait, you should at least answer my question before leaving.”
So who’s left to ask?
“Father?”
…he doesn’t seem to have any friends.
“Ah.”
There isn’t a single sane person around me.
The delayed realization made me tremble. My social circle was so narrow, I knew so few people, and they were all strange!
“No wait, there is one!”
A person who came to mind like light and salt.
“Mehren!”
I hurried into the Office with quick steps.
“How to reconcile friends, you say?”
“Yes!”
The answer came first from Father, sprawled across the office couch.
“Just leave them alone. They’ll work it out.”
He seemed to have been dragged here by Mehren.
At my scoff at his carefree answer, Father laughed and teased me. I pushed away his face and looked at Mehren with desperate eyes.
You’re the only sensible one I know! Please help!
“Even looking at me that earnestly, I’m afraid I don’t have much insight either.”
“What?!”
Betrayed by the world.
“Well, I don’t really have friends myself. There’s only this fool.”
Mehren glared at Valere. I understood immediately.
“That’s unfair. When did I ever prevent you from making friends?”
“When you glare down anyone who tries to talk to me and beat them down from behind, you didn’t think I knew?”
“That’s because those were strange fellows trying to use you to get at me. I wasn’t like that with normal people.”
“The normal ones all ran away the moment they saw my lord standing next to me.”
“Ha ha.”
Mehren stared at Valere once more, intensely, then smiled at me.
“Still, my interpersonal relationships are better than this man’s.”
Of course they would be.
Somehow, Father had quietly taken Mehren’s seat next to him. I glared at him.
“That’s my spot.”
“It’s Father’s now.”
When I gave Father a pointed look as he grinned, he pointed to the seat beside him.
“Father’s other side is free.”
“I don’t want that even if you give it to me!”
I want Mehren’s seat! Mother’s seat!
I glared with all my might to make him move immediately, but it had no effect. In the end, it was Mehren who sighed.
“Please don’t fight with the young lady, sir.”
Mehren pushed Father away and hugged me. Father chuckled and fussed with my cheek.
“Seeing my daughter look only at you like that, I can’t help myself. I’m here too, but you only have eyes for him.”
“Then shouldn’t you have done your job as a father properly from the start?”
“Your sly mother and your cute daughter—I’ve been busy feeding them.”
Mehren stared coldly. Father didn’t yield.
“Am I a rabbit?”
“Cuter than a rabbit.”
“Then what are you?”
“A wolf, perhaps.”
Father suddenly widened his eyes and startled me.
“Roaaaar!”
“That’s a tiger!”
“Should we go with tiger then?”
Could one really change species that casually? As I stared challengingly, Father chuckled and kissed my forehead.
“Is there anyone around you who gets along with everyone? You should ask someone like that.”
As if there could be anyone like that in my circle.
“There isn’t… Wait, there is!”
Fession.
“Since you gave me such a good idea, give Father a kiss as a reward.”
“No.”
I quickly gave Mehren a kiss instead and stood up.
“Wow, how cruel.”
Mehren grinned triumphantly and teased Father.
“It’s too early for me to receive Young Lady Arelin’s affection.”
“That’s ridiculous. I can’t believe this.”

“Fession! Help!”
I wanted to rush straight to the Imperial Palace, but we had the treasure of Magitech Engineering—the Communication Device.
– Huh? Help with what?
“How do I make the Demon Twins reconcile?”
– Ah, that’s what this is about.
Fession’s expression, which had been delighted that I’d called first, changed subtly.
– Arelin, you’re really concerned about the Demon Twins these days. Do you like them?
“Huh? Me? The Demon Twins? Me?”
If he asked if I disliked them, the answer would obviously be no, but like them?
I’m not sure. They seem like I do, but also like I don’t.
“Do I… like them?”
I thought of them as somewhat bothersome but good friends. Bothersome, sure, but not bad. Yeah.
– …….
Fession, on the other side of the Communication Device, showed signs of discomfort.
– I’ll take care of them. By the way, Arelin, want to go see the Festival together?
“Yeah, the Festival!”
My eyes flew open.
Wow, why didn’t I think of that?
“I should suggest going to see it.”
– Arelin?
“If we go out and have fun together, we can create a reconciliation atmosphere. Yeah! That way they could make up, right?”
– Um, Arelin?
Wow, is Fession a genius?
“Fession, thank you!”
– …….
Fession held his head on the other side of the screen. Some kind of groan came through.
