“Oh, … is it that time already?”
I looked at the clock on the wall and put down the pen I had been holding.
I borrowed the large desk which was originally at the dining table, and gathered the inked papers that I had spread out.
The sky beyond the large window next to the desk was bright and clear vermilion. It was almost time for him to come home.
I got up and headed to the door.
I’d only been here for a short period of time, so I was still not used to the smell of wood, which was different from my birthplace. I saw the door leading to the outside was opened just in time.

The red gaze that appeared made me happy.

“Welcome back, Reiss.”
Naturally loosening his mouth, Reiss left a slight embarrassment, but replied with a soft voice for her, “I’m home … Suu.”

We were currently living in a house that was relatively close to both my work place, the lord’s mansion, and Reiss’s workplace; the guard’s office. It had only been a week so far.

When Reiss came back to the Arlvaire territory, he slept in the camp for a while, but now our marriage had been officially recognized by the people around us, and we could live together.

…… Well, there were some people who still insisted that they were not satisfied.
We were planning to have a small wedding in two months, although the order of events might change.
“… What were you writing about?”
“Oh. This?”

Relaxing while wearing the guard’s simple black clothes, Reiss, who was sitting in front of me across the table, found the paper on the edge of the table.

The white dress of the Privileged Knights also looked good with his black hair, but I think that black dress suited him more, additionally, it looked good complementing his toned body.

I giggled and shook the paper I had picked up in front of Reiss.
“It’s a draft of our wedding invitation. Rinsu rushed me to send them quickly.”
The wedding preparations for me and Reiss were mainly being handled by the lord and the Rottorrea family, led by Rinsu. It was probably not my fault that the wedding was becoming more and more extravagant, even though I had told them that I wanted it to be modest ……
When Reiss heard Rinsu’s name, he had a complicated look on his face. Well, it couldn’t be helped if he was told such a thing face to face.

“Just so you know, Mr. Reiss. Even if Suu forgives you, me, as her best friend, still haven’t accepted you as Suu’s partner. If you make her cry again, I won’t forgive you. I want you to be sincere with me. …… But I’ll make the wedding more exciting for Suu. I am not accepting you! It’s for Suu! Don’t get me wrong!”
Rinsu stretched out his ample chest and glared at Reiss with his big eyes.
… Yeah, looking back, Rinsu already admitted our relationship in his heart, but it just felt like he was making Reiss mad.

It was a long time ago, but Rinsu was wary that Reiss would hurt me again because I was at the scene where I was ranted by Reiss and I didn’t know the devils were there. Maybe he knew that was not going to happen anymore, seeing how we were doing.

The attitude of my best friend who cared about me was as much as I would like to thank.

Reiss, however, was rather seriously wondering ‘how to show his sincerity’.

When I made fun of him and said, “Like, not cheating on your wife?”, He said, “Isn’t that natural? I’m not interested in anyone other than you.” It was a strong counterattack.

Reiss, who was usually clumsy but tried to put his thoughts into ‘words’ as much as possible, was troublesome because he occasionally dropped natural pick-up lines.

“I think you don’t have to worry too much about what Rinsu says, right?”

“But he’s probably Suu’s best friend. Therefore … I want to be recognized by him.”

Muttering and making a sad face again, I sighed and tilted the teapot I had prepared and poured tea into the cup.

Fluffy, warm steam and a nice scent of herbs.

As I watched Reiss say thank you to me, and sip from his cups, I thought of another person who was not here at the moment,…, ‘another animal’ to be exact, who insisted that he was not convinced that Reiss and I were on the same page.

Uncle Alain was very welcome to raise his hands about our marriage, and although he had a hard time persuading his father, he managed to succeed. It was only a matter of time before Rinsu could understand his attitude, but it might be Uur who was surprisingly impregnable to the end.

Uur was still hostile towards Reiss.
Why, when there were no more demons? Uur shook his watery tail and replied, “Hmm, I hate it!” That was the reason why I couldn’t help it.
If I asked him more properly, he said, “I don’t like them because they take away my Suu.” Either way, he hated it.
He was currently visiting the lord’s mansion, lured by the sweet sweets. Even though the spirit crystals were gone and Reiss couldn’t see Uur in his usual form, he would still like to see one of them and come closer to him. If I give my spiritual power to Reiss, it was possible for him to communicate with Uur.
I’d been secretly thinking about the ‘Great Reiss- Uur Friendship Strategy’ for a while now.
While I was thinking about this, Reiss took his mouth away from his cup of tea and started talking, “Oh, by the way, …. Who will you send these invitations to?”

“Yeah … I think it’s difficult to contribute, let alone my close friends, but I’m going to give it to Roa and Marina. Will you give it to the guards too?”
