Episode 106

Fortunately, my plan had worked.
“Oh.”
“Oh?”
The twins, thinking I’d invited only them, discovered each other at the appointed place and gave off a cold atmosphere.
But Siel was the first to show discomfort.
“Arelin, did you call Noel too?”
Noel didn’t back down.
“Arelin, you should’ve mentioned if you were playing with Siel.”
Watching the twins air their grievances, I felt stuck. They looked ready to fight again. What was I supposed to do?
Could I even make them reconcile?
“If you’re uncomfortable, leave.”
It was Fession who cut through the tension.
“We came out to have fun, and we’re going to see the Foundation Festival. If you’re uncomfortable, you two should be the ones to go.”
Fession drew a cold line, slipping between the twins to pull me away from the conflict.
Siel and Noel pouted for a moment, but they quickly clung to me instead.
“We can’t do that!”
“That’s right—Arelin asked us for the first time.”
I glared at the twins hanging from both my arms with a sullen expression.
“Say my name properly.”
The twins looked at me in unison.
“Then let me call you a cute nickname too, just like His Highness does.”
“Me too.”
They were only this friendly with each other at times like this.
“Fine.”
“Arelin, that—!”
Fession’s expression immediately twisted.
“Why?”
……
I tilted my head, watching Fession fumble as if he wanted to say something.
“It’s nice when we’re all close, isn’t it?”
……
Fession tried to communicate through his expression. Expression language, of all things. And here I still hadn’t mastered Harun’s Eye Language.
As I struggled to interpret, the twins giggled.
“His Highness is sulking, you guys. He’s jealous.”
“He’s annoyed. Are we getting on his nerves?”
“Get out of here, both of you.”
“Ugh, no way!”
A sudden game of tag broke out between the twins and Fession, and I could only blink.
……
And the other casualty of this gathering.
“Thanks for coming, Harun.”
He nodded.
“Call me by a cute nickname too.”
He nodded.
My heart felt healed. Harun was truly the best friend.
“Why did you call Harun?”
Fession returned from chasing the twins down, grumbling.
“Because Harun is my friend too.”
Fession’s smile dimmed.
“I wish everyone else would disappear.”
“Huh? What?”
“Nothing.”
I didn’t hear him, but the twins and Harun clearly did—their expressions shifted noticeably. It was quite the sight.
The twins pretended not to notice, while Harun looked like he wanted to run away. What had he said?
“Call me by a cute nickname too.”
Fession whined with a sullen face.
“Try calling me Sion.”
This was a bit embarrassing.
“Sion…”
“Properly.”
“Sion.”
My chest tickled with a strange feeling, and I bit my lip hard. Only then did Fession’s face break into a full smile.
“Yeah, Arelin!”
It seemed like the Fession I knew was finally back.
“Let’s go see the festival.”
Fession’s expression brightened instantly as he held out his hand. I took it and extended my other hand, and the twins reached out to each other—only to bump into one another.
And the twins were glaring at each other again.
Goodness, those two precious things.
“Oh.”
When I grabbed Harun’s hand, abandoning the twins, they finally followed with sad faces.
……
Harun seemed uncomfortable, fidgeting with the hand I was holding. Fession kept staring at the hand Harun and I were holding.
I pretended not to notice.
“This is my first time seeing the festival with friends.”
Suddenly, all eyes were on me.
“You’re my first friends, and this is the first time I’ve been out of the manor by myself either. They won’t let me go alone.”
The twins’ mouths fell open and they blinked. Fession’s expression also became oddly subtle.
“Wait, Mehren gave you Pocket Money? I’ve never gotten any before.”
In my past life, my mother was always with me, and after I was alone, I always used a card. I was excited to use cash for the first time.
……
……
The four of them stopped and exchanged looks, pitying me. Why were they suddenly looking at me with such sad eyes?
“Arelin, we’ll do our best for you.”
“Is there anything you want to do? Just say the word.”
“I’ll be on my best behavior today!”
I laughed at the well-behaved twins and Fession, who as always was eager to do anything for me, and Harun, who simply nodded in agreement.
This day wouldn’t be so bad.

* * *

The Northern Capital, where Halbern Manor stood, was on high ground, making it perfect for viewing the Sky Tower descended from the upper atmosphere from a distance.
But once we came down to the crowded streets and looked up at the Sky Tower directly……
“Wow.”
“What is that?”
“It’s huge.”
Because of how the Sky Tower positioned itself directly above the Central Magic Tower in the Capital, it looked as though the tower stretched endlessly from the ground up to the sky—like the legendary Tower of Babel.
“I heard tourists from abroad are pouring in just to see this.”
“That’s why all the merchants in our family got excited about selling Magic Tower merchandise.”
While the twins saw this grand sight and immediately started talking about money,
“Harun, could someone ring that thing?”
“I think it’d be possible if someone reached Father’s level.”
“A Master? A Master could definitely do it.”
Fession and Harun were discussing whether the Sky Tower could be rung. Was I the only one genuinely moved by this sight?
Even though I’d seen plenty of modern skyscrapers in my previous life, the Sky Tower felt different—perhaps because it was made of marble, not a glass and steel building.
“Oh, they’re selling food over there!”
“Arelin, you want to eat, right?”
“Yeah. Just a bite.”
The crowds that had gathered for the festival reminded me of the nightmare of rush hour on the subway, but the bustle somehow made the atmosphere feel alive, and I was enjoying it.
While Harun and Siel were away buying skewers, Fession and I exchanged glances.
“Now for Noel?”
“Yeah. We talked about Siel earlier.”
“Got it.”
I hadn’t forgotten the reason we’d all ended up seeing the festival together.

* * *

Noel blinked. I could feel Harun watching nervously from beside me, but I didn’t want to go easy on him, so I was being even more mischievous.
‘If things were normal, I’d be sticking with Siel…’
Harun was fine, but he didn’t talk much, so playing with him was boring.
‘I should make up with him, though.’
Noel knew that too. But since this was my first real fight, I didn’t know how to make up.
We’d been together since birth, and we always knew what the other was thinking without saying a word—we were two halves of a whole. But fighting like this, with our opinions conflicting, was happening for the first time.
Noel glanced at Siel, who was playing with Fession from a distance. Seeing Siel like this, after so long, felt unfamiliar.
“Noel.”
Arelin leaned toward me.
“Haven’t you made up yet?”
Noel looked at Arelin with a sullen face.
“I’m Siel.”
“Yeah, Siel.”
“Actually, I’m Noel.”
“I know you’re Noel.”
“Sorry, I lied. I’m Siel.”
“I already know you’re Noel.”
Arelin replied dryly. Noel protested indignantly.
“No, I’m not. How do you know?”
Arelin smiled and tapped my forehead.
“There’s a way to know everything.”
……
At this sudden attack, Noel’s eyes widened. It was a strange feeling.
Making others confused about whether I was Siel or Noel was a foolproof strategy—confusing and catching the other person off guard. But being seen through like this was a first.
Even Mom and Dad couldn’t tell us apart.
Today, especially, since both of us had dressed identically, it should have been impossible to tell.
How had Arelin figured it out?
“Noel’s voice is a half-tone lower than Siel’s.”
“Huh?”
“Not exactly a half-tone, but anyway, that’s the difference. You can hear it when we talk.”
That’s a difference only Arelin would notice?
Noel’s expression became subtle.
“That’s why I knew from the start.”
Noel blinked.
For someone who’d always been treated as part of a set with Siel, this was the first time Noel had been so clearly distinguished as an individual.
Arelin tilted her head, wondering why Noel had suddenly gone quiet.
The tilt of her head looked so newly beautiful that Noel suddenly understood why Fession was so devoted to Arelin—and also felt something ticklish and warm spreading through his chest.
