When I Saved a Girl Who Was About to Be Kidnapped and It Turned Out to Be a Princess Who Had Come to Visit in Secret
“Hnn….”
I patted her head gently and Ayla’s eyes narrowed.
Immediately afterward, I regretted what I had done.
She looked like a young child, and even though I stroked her reflexively, it was Ayla who was on the other end of the line.
There was no way that she, who usually exudes an air of nobility, would not be offended by being treated like a child.
And since her hair is so important that it is often said to be a woman’s life, it was not something that should be touched casually.
I braced myself for the iron fist sanctions that might come at any moment.
–It sounds good to say, but in reality, I was just immobilized by fear.
But then–.
“…..♪”
Ayla-chan, instead of getting angry, relaxed her cheeks in a pleasant manner.
The squinting in her eyes was not because she was angry, but because she was just like a cat, just like Luna.
……Hey, is she unexpectedly ……?
The fact that she was happily eating the cake, it seems that Ayla has a pretty good age-appropriateness about her.
I was thinking that I had drawn the line in a strange way.
“Oh, …….”
Ayla’s expression of surprise comes to her face as if she has noticed something.
“………..”
And then, with cheeks slightly reddening, she turned her eyes to me, as if to cover up her embarrassment.
What a cute girl.
“Um, sorry?”
At any rate, I took my hand away and apologized before she got angry.
I was not brave enough and bold enough to continue petting her even though she was giving me the eye.
“It’s not good to touch a woman other than Luna-sama so casually.”
Ayla-chan complains to me with her eyes squinting sulkily.
But her cheeks are still red, so she must be embarrassed.
At least, I don’t feel any of the killing spirit I felt earlier now.
“Well, it’s not good, is it?”
“Yes, Luna-sama will be jealous, so please be careful. Never do it in a place where Luna-sama is watching.”
Ayla-chan reminds me while holding up her index finger.
There’s no doubt that Luna will be jealous.
She has been getting irritated with for a while now, and she started to have doubts about me
If she had seen what I just said, she would have been absolutely sulking.
In that sense, Ayla seems to have been careful.
–But, 《never do it where she can see you》is sounding like she’s saying it’s fine where she can’t see you. ……?
…… indeed, is that it?
“Yeah, I’ll be careful.”
I don’t want to make Luna jealous, and I don’t want her to get the wrong idea, so I won’t do it where she’s watching.
I mean, I’m not going to do it even if she’s not looking,…… but it doesn’t mean it won’t be a reflex, like it was earlier,…….
“I hope you understand,…….”
Ayla says, and then returns her gaze to the cake again.
She seems to have eaten it.
“You can eat it, okay? Look, it’s not exactly an apology for earlier, but I’ll give you my share.”
“Thank you…….”
Ayla thanked me as I held out the box of cakes.
She seemed to be ready to eat it easily.
She went on to eat the cake, still looking very happy as she put it in her mouth.
–I think it would be good to take her to the chairman’s coffee shop if she is this happy, but it might be difficult because of the …… public eye.
So I thought I would buy her a cake some other time.
