Sieg and the Two Girls

"Dad! Mom! Green Mama! Something terrible happened!!"

Sylphie, Roxy, and I had been chatting about trivial things when Lara's shout shattered the peace.

She came running in noisily from outside, with Tina following behind her.

Unlike Lara, who was clearly anxious, Tina looked excited and happy.

Roxy took a sip of tea, set down her cup, and spoke.

"Lara, how many times do I have to tell you? You're already an adult. Girls should be a little more composed."

After Roxy said that, Lara showed no change at all. Instead, Tina behind her stood at attention.

Sylphie could not help but laugh.

"So, what is it, my two little cuties?"

Lara hurriedly said,

"Green Mama! Siegsiegsieg, he!!"

"What happened to Sieg?"

"At the door, at the door, there's a girl looking for Sieg!"

Sylphie tilted her head, then seemed to recall something.

"Oh~ Is her name Lien? She's a good girl."

"No! Tina and I asked her. Her name isn't Lien!"

Tina nodded vigorously as well.

"That's right! Her name is... Dianpalia. She's a princess!"

Roxy became interested as well.

"Oh? A princess? She came specifically for Sieg?"

Tina continued nodding.

"Yes, yes! She even brought a lunchbox especially for Sieg. That girl definitely likes him!"

That girl...

Tina, you're only fourteen... and you're calling someone barely younger than you a child...

Still, that alone should not have made Lara nervous, right?

I turned to Lara.

"So, there's more to it than that, isn't there?"

Lara scratched the back of her head.

"...Well, it might be serious for Sieg."

"Specifically?"

"A battlefield of love."

"Is that really a big deal?"

"...It's nothing now, but it'll be serious later. A far more dramatic battlefield of love than Dad thinks..."

"Hoh..."

Sylphie covered her mouth and chuckled.

"He really is Rudy's child.
