My Uncle and I Choose the Life That Will Not Be Ruined

Chapter 25 : Ann's Party (Anessa's POV)

My academy life began with a dilemma of happiness and sadness.

The happy event was that I was able to live the same academy life as my fiancé, Edmont-sama. 

He has been living in a student dormitory since he was young and is living a fulfilling life. I was really looking forward to the day when I could see him up close. Until now, I could only meet him during his long holidays, but from now on, it will be much easier to meet him.

The sad thing is that I was in a different class with my benefactor, my best friend and important person, Miriella-sama. 

There are only three classes, and yet, why did we end up being separated. I can't help but curse my luck. This might be God's will to "Be able to talk to people other than Miriella-sama" but, it's painful.

Moreover.

When Miriella-sama introduced Ann-sama as "a friend in the same class", I realized that I ended up embracing impatience and jealousy.

Beautiful platinum hair that seems to shine faintly, and a cute and friendly expression like a puppy. I met her for the first time, but I thought she was the kind of person who would be the center of attention wherever she went.

After the opening ceremony, Ann-sama always stayed next to Miriella-sama.

"I grew up in the countryside, so my courtesy might be unbecoming. Pardon me."

Ann-sama, who said that, is certainly a person who often acts frankly and outspoken as a noble. In particular, she always sticks close to Miriella-sama like a sister.

While talking, sometimes she tries to intertwine her arms, or try to poke Miriella-sama's cheek. Even if I think she's not courteous , Miriella-sama doesn't seem to care much either. Rather, the closer the distance, the more Miriella-sama seemed to become more familiar with Ann-sama.

I'm jealous. I also want to talk to Miriella-sama more closely.

Recently, even in my class, the combination of Miriella-sama, who is as supple and beautiful as a noble cat, and Ann-sama, who is as lovely as an angel, has become a hot topic. There were also times, in particular, when the male students leaked words quietly such as Ann sect and Miriella sect.

Ann-sama is bright and kind, and she also doesn't make cruel of my small voice. That's why I think she's a good person, but I also can't help but end up thinking (Miriella-sama has been taken away), which is miserable.

------------------------------

"Pajama party wanna do?"

At the dinner table, Ann-sama suddenly said,

"What is a pajama party?"

Miriella-sama tilts her head and asks. I was also twisting my head with a question mark floating in my mind.

Ann-sama smiled like a mischievous child and beckoned us. After we looked at each other, we leaned our heads towards Ann-sama.

"Tomorrow is a day off, so tonight in my room, girls talk... no not that, umm. Shall we talk until we fall asleep?"

As soon as it was heard, Miriella-sama's face beside me brightened up.

"looks fun"

"Isn't it? How about Anessa?"

Would the dormitory supervisor get mad at us I wonder, I muttered, but Ann-sama "It's fine!" and drown my mutterings out. Miriella-sama was already looking excited next to me, so I had no choice but to accept it.

------------------------------

The room Ann-sama welcomed us into was the same size as ours, but it felt a little smaller.

We sit on the carpet next to the bed and form a circle with a small table in between. Ann-sama brought a teapot and made us some chamomile tea.

“I you know, wanted to ask Anessa about Ed-sama.”

Ann-sama said so while looking at me when the talk about school and classes had settled down. Her face is clearly full of curiosity, but her characteristic loveliness allows it. Also, this is a secret, but I am very happy to be able to talk about Edmont-sama.

Miriella-sama, who is listening next to me, has a complicated expression on her face, but I told her about Edmont-sama and how I was able to understand him better thanks to Miriella-sama.

"Miriella gave Ed-sama some advice, so Anessa and Ed-sama got along well I see."

"Indeed, that's how it is." (Anessa)

"It's not such a big deal. I just told my Onii-sama what my Oji-sama taught me. That's why it's not mine, but my Oji-sama's credit."

Miriella-sama shyly looks down. When the talk becomes about her uncle Leon-sama, she makes a very easy-to-understand face. When I was looking at the easy-to-understand Miriella-sama, Ann-sama looked at my side and said.

"Aren't you glad, Anessa."

Ann-sama smiles with a very kind face.

For some reason she looked happy and I strangely wondered, but Ann-sama said nothing further.

Speaking of me, I never thought that Ann-sama would talk upfront to me like that. With Ann-sama, who I hadn't been intimate with until now, because of how it seems Miriella-sama has been taken away, I might be able to get close to, is what I thought.

On my own like that, I'm so embarrassed that it might be worth some money. [TL note: I couldn't find the meaning of the phrase, so this one is my literal translation of it.]

Ann-sama's interest seems to have shifted to Miriella-sama, and this time, with a face like a mischievous child, she is twining with Miriella-sama.

"Miriella, don't you have a person you like?"

"I do"

"e. Too much of an immediate reply that it makes you look manly"

Miriella-sama, who laughed with a *kusuri*, also seems to look like a child who loves mischief.

Taking a sip of the lukewarm tea, Miriella-sama continued.

"For a long time, I have yearn for my Oji-sama."

Ann's glabellas, moved for a moment. [Tl note no 1: glabellas.]

However, as if to deceive it, a high voice immediately rose.

"Leon-sensei?"

"Yes"

Heeehー, Fuun, Was that soー.

Ann-sama was grinning *niya*niya*, or rather, itching *muzu*muzu*, or rather, she was mumbling with an expression that was hard to judge.

"Because this feeling is not something to hide"

"U, Un"

"But"

Is she starting to get embarrassed for being late to notice, Miriella-sama wraps both of her hands around her cheeks and looks up at Ann-sama's face.

"I want to tell my Oji-sama properly from my mouth. And if this kind of thing becomes known, it might cause trouble for my Oji-sama... Could you keep this story a secret talk only here I wonder?"

Even I, who is watching from the side, my chest feels pain at Miriella-sama's lovableness. Ann-sama, who's being directly asked for, with a *guh* and it took her breath away..

And then, all of a sudden she hugged Miriella-sama's body.

"Leave it to me! I won't tell anyone!"

"Thank you, Ann."

"Mmmm jeez! so cute!"

Ann-sama is rubbing her head with *guri*guri* while clinging to Miriella-sama's body. When I was looking at that with envy, Ann-sama turned to my side and spread her left arm.

"Look, Anessa too, come."

"A, ye, yes."

I didn't have much experience hugging other than with my family, but when I softly embraced them, I felt itchy happiness in the warmth of Ann-sama and Miriella-sama.

It was a chilly night, but I think I will be able to sleep very comfortably today.

In this way, Ann-sama's "Pajama Party", continued until late inside the fluffy atmosphere.
