We ended up in our own world
“Well, even if I’m not used to it now, it shouldn’t take long to settle in. After all, they say that ‘Home is where you make it.’”
It was hard to think of this giant mansion as my home.
But one day, I may be able to say it with confidence.
“Home is where you make it?”
“Ah, it means that even if you are in an unfamiliar place, if you settle in, it will eventually become comfortable for you. The previous house had rooms so big that I was surprised at first, but it didn’t take long for me to feel at home there.”
“I see… Humans are said to be creatures that become accustomed to things. It must be true. I will also do my best to make this place a home with you, Mr. Takumi.”
“Haha. You don’t need to do anything. Besides, we have so much help from others as well.”
“…So, you don’t want me to help you?”
She looked at me with a frown.
“Of course, I do. I really enjoy spending time with you. I think that before I even realize what is happening, I’ll get used to this house and feel very comfortable.”
“Hehe… And I will feel more comfortable here than anywhere else because of you. In fact, I feel so comfortable right now, just talking to you, Mr. Takumi.”
“Ah…but… Talking like this right now… It might be a little…uncomfortable…?”
We had been having fun talking, but I suddenly felt eyes on us, and felt embarrassed.
“…Ah! Ehem!”
Claire also noticed and coughed before returning to a calm expression.
But it was a little too late. And her cheeks were visibly flushed.
“…Well, I am used to seeing Lady Claire and Mr. Takumi like this. But it is a little awkward…”
Ms. Lyra averted her eyes.
Even though she had been staring at us along with Liza and the others a moment ago…
Though, she looked a little exasperated as well.
“Papa and sister Claire are having fun…?”
“Wuff!”
Why are you tilting your head like that, Liza? Well, it was true that we were having fun.
But I wouldn’t say it, because it was embarrassing.
Also, don’t sigh and shake your head like that, Leo…

“So, how was it, Mr. Takumi?”
“If you have complaints, you can always build a bigger house!”
We entered the drawing room and talked with Mr. Ekenhart and Mr. Euto.
Of course, it was impossible that I could be unsatisfied with this place, and I wish they would not even mention the idea of building another house.
“No, it is far better than anything I could want. Though, it does make me a little nervous to be right next to Claire’s room.”
“Hehehe. And here I thought you two would be sharing the same room.”
“No, no, Hart. You’re getting ahead of yourself. Though, seeing the way they act these days, it probably won’t be long.”
“Father…! And Mr. Euto!”
Claire turned bright red.
I felt bad…I should not have brought up the subject in front of them.
It really hadn’t been on purpose…
Regardless, they continued to joke about us after that. Even mentioning the prospect of having grandchildren soon.
Of course, once Mr. Euto started to go on about making families, Ms. Lugretta helped me put a stop to it. It looked rather painful when the hand went down on his head.
Of course, it was Ms. Lugretta’s hand, not mind.
But then again, Mr. Euto seemed to enjoy it.
It was surely troublesome to have someone like that, where warnings were not effective as warnings…
