After finishing my conversation with Frere, I head outside to return to the inn.
It was probably past 7pm, and it was dark enough that the streetlight magic had started up.
I greeted Frere and was about to start walking when someone called out to me.
"Hey, let's go on a date now."
"...I understand."
When I turned towards the voice, I saw Fear-san smiling next to Frere-san.
If you look closely, you can see that her outfit has changed from a black string dress to a long slim dress.
It's knee-length, but it doesn't seem too tight since there are slits on the sides.
I nodded in response and told Erika and the others to go back to the inn first.
Frere smiled wryly at Fear's actions, bowed his head, and went inside the house.
"Where are you going on a date?"
"Well... let's fly a little."
"...Huh? Oh!?"
Fear took my hand and jumped into the sky.
It didn't take long before I looked down and saw the roofs of private houses.
The feeling of floating away from the ground makes me scared and my hands tighten.
Fear seems to be enjoying my reaction as she smiles in amusement.
A short jump down was the Santony wall, its a watchtower.
Santony is rectangular when viewed from above, with watchtowers at each corner that are taller than the walls.
I got off onto the roof of the watchtower, but the moment I got off I put my hands on my knees.
...Wow, it was seriously scary! I'm not afraid of heights, but it was still scary!
"Oh, there you are."
When I looked up, I saw a round table and three chairs set up on the roof that hadn't been there before.
There are sweets and tea on the table.
Lea was already sitting in one of them, looking at me with an amused smile.
Like Fear, Lea was wearing a long, slim black dress.
Fear took my hand and walked me to the table, then let go and sat across from me.
I pull out a chair and sit down, and Lea makes me some tea.
"Can I have some tea?"
"I can drink it, thank you."
"Mmm, that's good."
Lea smiled happily at the words of thanks and went on to make Fear some tea and hand it to her.
Fear smiled and thanked me, and Lea nodded with a smile and sat on my left side.
Looking at this situation objectively, it looks like you've been invited to a witch's tea party.
Well, I don't think it's a big mistake.
Fear took a refined sip of tea, then rested her elbows on the table and intertwined her fingers.
She looks at me with his eyes narrowed and a smile, and my body stiffens a little.
She seemed to notice something about my reaction and gave a wry smile before beginning to speak.
"Let me first tell you how to spot lies. It's true that I can, but only once a day for a few hours. And it's not working now."
"...Magic, is it?"
"It's magic, but... I wonder if it's the result of that family's experiments."
Fear's words made me feel a little angry.
I'm not angry at Fear and Leah, I'm angry at the Criella tribe.
From what I heard from Croana, she was the only one who was used as a test subject.
However, I never imagined that her two older sisters would also be used as guinea pigs.
"Calm down, everything's okay."
"...Sorry."
"No, thank you... for being angry."
Fear smiled a little happily and shook her head slightly.
Lea-san was looking at my face with a smile.
With her eyes closed, Fear explains as if she's remembering.
It seems that Fear and Lea also underwent the same experiment as Croana.
However, what entered their body was a different set of skills and knowledge.
And what's different from Croana is that she has inherited some memories, albeit fragmentary.
However, even though they inherited only fragments of their memories, the fact that Croana was their precious little sister remained unchanged for both of them.
And then you realize just how crazy the Criella people are.
That's why they destroyed it.
To protect Croana, their sister.
They had to do it so that something like this wouldn't be passed down to future generations.
It may be an extreme idea, but there was no choice but to destroy them.
"Are we scared of making such a choice?"
"There's no reason to be scared. I respect your resolve and your way of life. Above all, it was thanks to you two that I was able to meet Croana, so I should be grateful to you."
Her eyes widened slightly at my words, then she shook her head with a smile.
It may have been an extreme idea, but if the Criella tribe had survived.
Considering that they may have been an obstacle for Roy and the others, he can only be grateful.
"I'm sure you can guess what I meant by 'Colorless' next, right?"
"So you're saying they're like two people...right?"
Fear nodded, and Lea nodded along.
I don't go into too much detail, but explain that I've inherited the techniques and knowledge.
Unfortunately, I couldn't explain it any further than that.
The difference between them is that they have the skills and knowledge of the past.
My future skills and knowledge, as well as my memories, have all been passed on to my instructor, Reid, in perfect condition.
Fear said with a calm expression and a small sigh.
"Thank you for talking to me."
"...I can't lie to my girlfriend's sister, after all."
"Girlfriend, huh?"
The atmosphere changed a little, and I felt a sense of tension.
Fear smiled gracefully with her eyes narrowed, while Lea smiled quietly.
"This isn't just a game, right?"
"...I don't like questions like that."
I look at Fear with a serious expression, without looking away.
Just for fun? Surely you're not so devilish that you'd sleep with a woman just for fun, right?
For a moment, I couldn't look away, and Fear laughed in a troubled manner.
Seeing Fear like that, I finally relaxed.
"Just get along with your other lover, okay?"
"...We get along well, or rather, she helps out at the bar."
"Wait, is Croana out in public?"
Lea-san approached me with a surprised look on her face and said.
By the way, Fear also has her mouth open and looks surprised.
While smiling wryly at their reactions, I explained the current situation in Croana.
That Nimi and I run Suzuya, and that he came to the bar for an interview.
He tells them that she has already helped him once.
Lea listens to what I say with shining eyes.
Suddenly, her body floated like a Croana, and she sat on my lap.
He looks up at me, full of curiosity, and asks about Croana.
"Were you talking to people? Were you able to serve people? Were you even wearing a waiter's uniform?"
"I was talking to everyone and they helped me out a lot... [Suzuya] isn't a waiter's uniform, it's an apron."
"You were wearing an apron?! Aaaah, I want to see! Can you show me?"
"I think you'll be able to see it if you come while they're helping out..."
"Can I go and see it?"
I nodded with a wry smile at Lea's words, and then happily wrapped my arms around her neck and hugged her.
I reflexively hugged Lea lightly, and smelled a nostalgic scent of sunlight that was different from Croana's.
The mound doesn't seem to have any elasticity, but I can feel the nipples, which are slightly erect due to excitement.
When I saw Fear, her expression changed from surprised to envious and she sighed.
"Honestly, I'm jealous of Croana. Look, our bodies are like this."
As she said this, Fear rubbed her breasts with both hands.
She wasn't wearing a bra, her nipples were clearly visible through the thin fabric of her dress.
…Just like Croana, is this a clan that needs to be seduced?
I tell her to be careful while looking away.
"...I'm sorry, but it would be much appreciated if you could stop."
"Hm?"
"You're a woman too, so you should be careful."
"But our bodies aren't attractive, are they?"
"...Yes, they are."
Fear, who had been massaging her breasts with both hands, stiffened at my words.
Lea, who was hugging him, also stiffened in her movements.
Then she lowers her eyes shyly and says:
"Oh, I see... I'm sorry."
"No, it's fine as long as you understand."
"By the way... are you interested in us?"
"...I'm in favor of it."
I replied, looking into Fear's eyes as she spoke shyly, just like I had said to Croana some time ago.
Upon hearing my reply, Lea quietly leaves and returns to her seat.
When I look at Lea's face, it's bright red.
Fear's cheeks were also flushed red and she muttered, "Within the range of affection..."
No, the gap is too big.
Her height of around 120cm didn't gives her the air of a capable adult.
(TL/N: My head hurt try to decipher this.)
Although she is an adult woman, she doesn't look like one, which is honestly quite appealing.
There was silence for a while, but after a while they resumed drinking tea.
I spoke of Croana.
By the way, both of them had red cheeks throughout the event.
