It's a little cooler today, isn't it?

　As I was heading to Lady Layla's room, I unexpectedly noticed that the wind was flowing in from outside.

　The castle is fully equipped with ice magic tools made by Leila-sama throughout the castle, but as expected, it's impossible to install them in all of the vastness of the castle.

　Therefore, the long corridors are somehow kept cool by opening the windows and letting the wind through.

　By the way, it's cool in summer today. If it's this cool even in the corridors, wouldn't it be even cooler in Leila-sama's room, where the wind is more likely to come in?

　No, since it's Leila-sama, she's filling the room with cold air from ice magic, and she might not realize that the temperature is cool.

　Normally, Leila-sama looks at the sky while opening the window, but as expected in the summer, the sun is so tight that I'm looking through the window.

　I quicken my steps and push through the long hallway to Leila-sama's room at the back.

　When I reach the door, two female knights dressed in white and silver armor are waiting for me. They are the knights guarding Leila-sama's room.

''........There are no abnormalities today either.

Thank you for your work.

　The female knight, who reports to me somewhat bored, smiles and labors with a smile on her face.

　At first, the female knight was full of motivation because she was guarding the third princess's room, but after a month, this is what she was doing.

　There are few people on the streets and little interaction with others.

　She must be bored with the too boring security. I've done security and escort work myself, so I know how hard it is, but I want them to be crisp in the public eye.

　I don't want Leila-sama to act like that, especially when she's out and about.

　If those around her are dark, Leila-sama will be more concerned. Because that kind of thing shouldn't happen.

　........Should I choose someone with a little more aptitude for security? These days, I hear that there are men and women guards who are willing to do boring guards and patrols.

　It might be better to hire them here and put them on guard duty. Of course, it would be necessary to train them, since the guards would lack culture, etiquette, and strength, but.......

　However, it's Leila-sama's care for now.

　Having switched my thoughts, I lightly take a deep breath and knock on the door.

''Leila-sama, this is Sarya. May I come in?

'Oh!　Here you go.

　You were a little surprised by the knocking now. The words were a bit overwrought.

　Leila-sama is adorable like that.

　I suppressed a giggle and almost laughed and carefully opened the door to enter.

　Then the room was as hinky and cool as I had feared it would be. The windows are closed and Leila-sama is by the side of it, in her wheelchair.

　In this, I wouldn't even notice the cool temperature today. I was suddenly tempted to pay attention to her, but for now, we'll exchange the usual greetings.

''Were you looking up at the sky again?''

Yes, sir.

Did you see the boy?

No, I don't see him today.

　Lady Leila answers my question with a slow shake of her head.

　Lady Leila saw the two boys in the sky above us. We have been having this exchange between us every day since I started saying such things.

　In fact, I've never seen one, so I'm honestly skeptical, but I know enough to know that Leila-sama is not the kind of person who would lie or try to attract attention with it.

　So I think it's true, but it's a little hard to believe that the two boys were playing happily in the sky and that the boys fell from the sky.......

　However, if I said such things, Leila-sama would instantly become unhappy, so I just tease her about it.

　Now, I must pay attention to the usual greetings in moderation.

''Leila-sama, it's quite cool today, so I don't think you need to use ice magic.

'It was very hot yesterday, but...'

'It's mild and windy today. We don't need to use ice magic to do that.

　It's not that hot today, if yesterday, but it's not that hot today. Compared to the hallway and outside, this room is too cool.

　Probably because I've been using ice magic since yesterday, my body temperature has become insensitive to it.

　It's not a good idea to be exposed to the cold air for a long period of time by Leila-sama, whose body is weak.

　I say, "I'll open the window," and then open the window.

　Then, a breeze containing warmth from outside entered the room.

'Ah, hot air...'

'It's just too cool in this room. You'll get used to it soon enough.

　Then he opens the windows of the room in the room in turn.

　When I open the four windows, a breeze comes in and fluffs up the white curtains.

''Oh, it's certainly cooler than I thought it would be. We won't need the cold air in this one.

Right?

　Leila-sama realizes that the temperature is cooler and releases the cold air from the ice magic.

　Then she dexterously rotates her wheelchair and peers through the open window to see the view.

　The breeze that comes in caresses Leila-sama's cheeks, and her golden thread-like hair flutters.

''It's a nice breeze, isn't it?''

'Yes. I wish we could have days as comfortable as this one, every day.

　I'm sick of it being too hot like yesterday. It's hell, especially for me, who has to wear a maid's uniform all day long.

'Oh, it's a little bird,'

　Leila-sama mumbled, and when she turned her gaze, a little blue bird stopped by the window.

'It's a very beautiful bird. What is its name?'

It's a bird called a morphine. It was named after a bird that curls up like a demon, the Morgus, when it feels threatened.

　Lady Leila, who is rarely able to go outside, can finally touch the outside by seeing the view from this room and through me.

　That's why I have to make sure I am learning the right things.

　Thanks to you, I've covered most of the names of the birds I can see even from here. There are so many different species that it was hard to find a point to distinguish them, but now it should be perfect.

'Oh, I see. I'd love to see them curled up, but I'd feel sorry for them if they did that.

　Lady Leila watches with a smirk.

　Morphane doesn't particularly care for it, tilting her head slightly and moving to bounce around the window frame.

''Haha, it's adorable. Come here, come here.''

　Leila-sama smiles an innocent smile and holds out her palm.

　Morphane watches it as if she is geeky and wary. However, after a while, she let down her guard and nimbly got on the palm of her hand.

''Hiya, that's great, Sarya!　Morphane is in the palm of my hand!

It's a very cautious bird, so that's unusual.

　Morphans are very cautious and timid, so they rarely take to people, so this kind of scene is quite rare.

　Surely, Leila-sama's innocence must have rubbed off on Morphane.

''Can I touch it too?''

'You didn't surprise me, did you?　They'll run away.

　It's a rare chance to touch a morphine, because it's not often you get to touch a morphine.

　I slowly move my fingers closer to Morphane as Lady Leila gives me permission to do so.

　However, Morphane curled up and became smaller as I brought my fingers closer.

'Oh, you really have curled up. I look like a curled up caterpillar.''

　Lady Leila is surprised that Morphane has curled up.

　Morphans have a tendency to curl up when they feel threatened. So he felt that my approach was a crisis.

　Even though he's a bird, I'm still a little shocked.

　When I moved away from him, the morphans thought the danger was over, and they slowly came back to their normal shape. I'm a little curious about what kind of body structure it has to be like that.

'Ah!'

　I guess I shouldn't have thought of that. Morphane flies away from Leila-sama's hand.

''........He's gone.

　Me and Leila-sama looking away at Morphane, who was getting smaller and smaller in the sky.

　Leila-sama's profile looked a little sad as she looked away, stunned.

''I hope you'll come back.''

Yes.
