The days in the Azure Desert felt long but it also feels like they went in a flash. It’s weird that it feels like something that happened a long time ago. When the exhaustion had faded away, we had finally escaped the extraordinary days and entered our usual routine. I went to visit the Adina mansion, my parents’ home, on a holiday. I had to carry the bulk of goods that I had brought from the Lancent mansion to the living room. I lifted up the hem of the dress bowed.

「I returned to the royal capital yesterday. Father, mother, I’m glad that you both seem well as usual.」

My biological father, who holds the title of the current head of the house of Adina and the 14th Grimoire Librarian Raul Veer Adina, and his wife and my biological mother Fiora Veer Adina smiled calmly and gave a nod. Suzette, my nanny, stood smiling behind them, listening to us. Upon witnessing my family I was meeting after a while as well, a smile came on my face.

「I have come today to give you something, father, and to Fernan of course……」

「Father, mother, Suzette! Has sister returned alre…sister! It has been a while.」 Speak of the devil. An old saying went through my head.

「Yes, it has been a while.」

My younger brother Fernan Veer Adina, burst open the door to the living room, upon hearing my reply, his face filled with a smile and he came running towards me. He then proceeded to stand next to me as if it was an obvious thing to do. My smile turned into a wry smile at which Fernan tilted his head. As I have expected, he doesn’t understand it at all. He isn’t dense but he loses common sense when it comes to things regarding me. Such things don’t seem to change at all and frankly, it’s troublesome.

「It’s a surprise that you have returned, sister. Can it be that you have given up on that man?」

「There isn’t anything like that. I’ve come today just to give souvenirs.」

I cruelly cut off his words filled with hope and his shoulders dropped with sadness. Yes, the reason why I’m at my parents’ home isn’t because I was 『Excused by』that man. I have just come here to give them the gifts that I brought from the Azure Desert. Now that I have mentioned why I’m here, let’s proceed immediately to the business. I began unwrapping the souvenirs that I had prepared for each of them. For father, a mosaic plant made from joining colourful beads and glass. For mother, a brightly coloured three-dimensional lace that was shaped into flowers and brooch gem on which a bird resting its wing had been sculpted. For Brother, a mud cup painted vividly with colourful dyes and a chain made from semi precious stones for the glasses. Finally, for the nanny, a knee rest made by the women of the Azure desert using the loom.

「These aren’t all, the people from the Azure desert have given more of it and we can’t use them all so I thought, why not share.」

I said that with gifts piled up in front of me and father said in an impressed tone that the people there must be open hearted. A person would definitely think like that by looking at the bulk of gifts but the story isn’t as simple. All these gifts are a manifestation of an apology regarding an incident that had occured in the desert. The upper class of the city had loaded us, who were on our way to the royal capital with gifts to an extent we could barely carry. It isn’t like we’d get fooled or forgive them with this, but there isn’t any reason not to take the gifts, as a result I accepted them without any hesitation and now, those gifts had created a hill that is right in front of my eyes. I looked at my family who were peacefully examining the souvenirs. Suddenly my brother who was going through them looked back and said, 「Sister, what is this box? It has your name written on it.」 The box Brother pointed at had a beautiful craftwork on it and it was a big box that can be carried by both hands. The unfamiliar box had my name written on its center.

「I don’t know what that is. I don’t mind so can you open it up?」

I said it trying to recall what it could be, but finding no clue. Brother nodded once and put his hand on the lid of the box. The box opened without any noise but I couldn’t see what was inside the box from my side. The only thing I could see was my brother’s movement, but it stopped abruptly as he opened up the box.

「――Sister.」

His voice was stiff and hard. It’s seldom that this brother of mine spoke to me in such a tone. My parents and the nanny looked surprised since there was definitely something wrong with him. Wonder what could have happened.

「What is it Fernan? What happened?」

「What is this?」

「What do you mean――!」

I took in a deep breath when I saw what my brother took out of the box, Brother’s hands held the traditional dress of the Azure desert. Made from vivid purple cloth embroidered with golden thread. With shiny accessories made from metals and jewels sewn onto it, not to mention the extremely short length on the upper along with the pants-style lower garment which was tight at the ankle. Breechcloth that was as blue as the sky of the Azure desert and the peony pink veil that decorates the head. I frowed heavily upon seeing the traditional dress with all its accessories including the necklace and bangles.

「Sisisisisrer, can it be, can it be that you are going to wear this?」

「Hey, wait, Fernan. Please calm down.」

「How can I be calm in a situation like this! Such an indecent attire…!」

In such an atmosphere I can’t tell him that I have already worn a similar attire with a different design. I felt like Fernan’s pupils were wide open and I was wondering how to make an excuse regarding this as I searched for words desperately. To be honest, I don’t have to make an excuse since I have no idea about this dress but my brother wouldn’t accept it even if I told him so. 

「Well, well. Filmina has grown quite bold.」

「Indeed she has, madam. Agedilus-sama would definitely be seduced by her alluring figure.」

Mother, nanny, don’t be so carefree and pour oil into the flame. Brother began glaring and father’s frown grew deeper.

「It’s unacceptable! I feel so envio……I mean I can’t let my sister be seen with perverted intent. I won’t forgive anyone who does so!」

「Indeed, I agree with you. That Agedilus is inexcusable.」

I wanted to hold my head with my brother and father around, who would be deaf to any excuse I make. Why, why is it like this? No matter how hard I think, I can’t find an answer. Somebody, help.

「Shut up. What is this commotion?」

「Edi!」

My husband, who was working in the castle, albeit it being a holiday due to all the work being piled up, stood on the other side of the open door. His timing was awful, we were in a complicated situation and his appearance is going to make it further complicated. I did wish for help, but I’d kindly decline help from this man in the current scenario.

「I rang the bell but no one came so I entered. So what is all this fuss about?」

「I have arranged everything so that things can work without me,」 he said it this morning full of sarcasm. I mean, with full of sorrow from the depths of his heart in a bad mood. I’d like you to take me back immediately if you’re in a good mood. My small wish was about to be smashed by my younger brother. 「So you’re here, you scoundrel.」 I reaffirmed that him and I were siblings, since it was similar to what I had shouted at Heinrich the previous day. Scoundrel, although I had said it myself, isn’t it a bit too harsh? Edi lifted up his eyebrow in an adroit manner when the insult was suddenly thrown at his face.「Is that how you greet your brother-in-law?」「Brother-in-law or not. There are things that I can and can’t forgive.」

「What are you on about? You don’t forgive most of the things when it is about Filmina.」 

「I won’t deny that, but this and that are totally different things!」

How do I stop my younger brother, who is barking and intimidating Edi like a small dog. Father isn’t stopping him and it seems like he wants Brother to do more. Mother keeps smiling and Nanny is just baffled, letting out a sigh. It’s a good thing that you guys are on good terms, but please can you do that when I’m not around. I was trying to look away from the reality and I heard a light knock on the already open door.

「Oh my, it’s quite lively.」

「Father(in-law)!」

He had a black robe on to show that he was a magician working in the Black lotus palace, he’s my husband’s foster father and my father-in-law Mistress Ernest von Lancent was standing there. Ah, he looks wonderful as always. I hurried towards him and he deepened his calm smile.

「I heard that Agedilus was coming here so I decided to meet my friend after a long time…..I wanted to say that but.」

He glanced at my side and when I followed it, it reached my father who was glaring at my father-in-law with his eyes filled with grudge.

「Ernest, let me tell you one thing. The position of being her father belongs to m.e!」

「I know that, Raul. You indeed are the father that Filmina is proud of. But Filmina is also my adorable son’s adorable wife so, do allow me this much will you?」

「Kuh! I hate that guts of yours…..!」

Father started grinding his teeth, as if he was frustrated from the bottom of his heart, and my father-in-law laughed at him, as if it was something funny. Like father like son, as my brother was being played by that man, my father is being played by Father-in-law. I too am one of the people who gets played by Edi and uncle Lancent.

「I have prepared a gift for you too, Father(in-law).Have you already received it from Edi?」

To be honest I wanted to give it to him with my own hands but Edi didn’t listen to me and kept saying that he’d give it to him on his way back from the palace. I wanted to meet him too, I wanted to see him happy upon receiving it, I wanted to give him the gift so that he’d like me more, but it can’t be helped now. I’m not the only one who wanted to be liked by Father-in-law, Edi wanted that too. Since my dear husband becomes something else when it comes to Father-in-law, we could say that Edi has a father complex. So, I think it is fair to let him do that much. But, I am still curious if he liked the gift Edi and I picked for him. I asked him nervously and he smiled deepening his wrinkles around his eyes.

「Yes, I received it in the carriage. Thank you for the wonderful feather pen, Filmina.」

We picked a feather pen made from the plume of one of the most beautiful birds in the Azure Desert. The man had guaranteed that it could be used as a medium for magic and seems like our decision wasn’t wrong. My cheeks relaxed unconsciously with happiness but I think now isn’t the time to be relaxed. Since my husband and my brother were still quarreling behind my back, I glanced at them and saw my brother holding that dress tightly and confronting my husband. Fernan’s eyes were burning with rage and Edi let out a sigh signaling that the situation was just bothersome for him. Have I not told you countless times that such an attitude is what makes others angrier…… he is probably doing it on purpose, that man.

「Quit it already. What are you talking about? Do you dislike the souvenirs so much?」

「There is no way I would hate the souvenirs that my sister picked! It’s obvious that I’ll turn them into heirlooms! The root of all problems is this!」

Fernan pushed the bold dress that he was holding towards the man. It made a calm sound caused by the accessories bumping into each other. Edi seemed surprised for a change and Fernan glared at him as if Edi was someone who had killed his parents. He shouted at Edi, 「What were you going to do to my sister, making her dress like this? Can you justify that to me?」

「It isn’t something I had prepared, don’t speak from your imagination.」

「…..Wait a minute. You just said that you didn’t prepare this yourself, but you didn’t say that you don’t have any intentions to make my sister wear this.」

「―This is quite unexpected, you are sharper than I thought.」

「You..you scoundrel…..! Sister, you should cut ties with such a perverted man as soon as it is possible!!」

At this point, I don’t care anymore. As I was looking back and forth at Edi and Fernan worriedly, Mother was taking a look at the clothes left in the box. She muttered, 「Oh.」

「Filmina, Agedilus. There is a letter inside.」

「What?」

「It’s for you guys.」

The letter handed over by mother had our name on it. Edi ignored Fernan who was still shouting and came this way and looked into the letter. I took out the letter from the envelope and unfolded it.

 

It’s a dress that women wear on an auspicious occasion. You’ll need it someday.

 

From Snow.

It was a short letter written in a young writing and upon reading it, there was silence. It is a complicated feeling, I feel happy but at the same time, I don’t. The man silently frowned his beautiful eyebrows. I had no idea what my expressions should be in this situation. Brother and the rest of the family were looking at me inquisitively. Now that I’ve gained attention, I looked at the man.

「Well, they’d know it 『someday』」

「Well, that’s true.」

I nodded at his words. I don’t know when that 『someday』is but it the beloved child of the spirits, Snow-sama says that 『someday』then that 『someday』might come as he has predicted it. But, it is a different story whether I would be wearing this dress at that time or not. A great tiding and an auspicious event, I wonder what is going to fall upon us?

「What is this someday, sister!?」

「Can you explain it to us so that we can understand?」

「Oh my, it is quite a charming dress. It seems like it would suit Filmina.」

「What! Ernest, I won’t allow something like that!」

「Definitely! I wouldn’t allow it even if it is you, uncle.」

「Isn’t it natural for a man wanting to see a woman being dressed up in a pretty manner, and if it is your beloved wife then wouldn’t you want it more? Don’t you think so Adedilus?」

「…Yeah.」

「Agedilus, you bastaaaard!!」

「Fufu you all are such a good friends.」

「Indeed, the beauty of the friendship is a wonderful thing.」

―Everything aside, we need to think about the problem that is going on 『now』 still in continuous tense then to ponder upon 『someday』that may come. Snow’s mischievous smile passed through my head and I let out a sigh alone.
