ACIEL'S DIARY : INDIGO
SHEET 5.4: SLIGHTLY UNFAMILIAR

Mona ran towards me and patted my back tightly, leaving a bit of pain and quite a shock to me. With a bright smile on her face, she greeted me.

"Aciel, what are you doing here? I plan to go to your house."

I who was still not used to facing the high spirits of the other personalities he showed this could only respond slowly with some hesitation.

I think there's still plenty of time left until I can really get used to this side of Mona. Everything takes time, I don't have to worry about it too much. At least that's what Ella told me.

But from the words he said just now, there was a word that really caught my interest. I repeated it with doubt.

"uh? Ah, no ... Hm? To myhouse? Why do you want to go there?"

I shouldn't have done anything until Mona had to go to my house. Damn, this cherry personality is so hard to guess. I wonder how his family has survived so far, but they must have gotten used to it.

Maybe because the uncle was bald because of differences in his son's behavior. But I don't see it as a bad thing anyway, to be honest, it all looks pretty interesting to me.

Although, I'm still a little difficult to deal with it at the moment.

"Oh, briefly. I'll take it."

"Hm?"

Mona took something on the bag on her back and showed it to me. It was the observation book I lent him this morning to help with the report.

Oh, so that's it?

"I plan to return this and head for your house. I've taken Ella but she won't come because she's tired. That's why I went alone and went around."

That delinquent girl, at least I wish she could stop Mona. But that's not very important now.

"Forget about the others, do you know where my house is?"

"Hm? No, I plan to look for it by going around. Didn't I tell you before?"

No, you haven't said that. You're just saying if you're going around before, what exactly is this girl thinking? I have to be serious about watching him carefully.

But fortunately I was able to cancel her intention of wanting to visit home, I was very grateful to have met her here. No one knew about what would happen if Aunt An saw me take a girl to the barn.

Lately the family has also started to look for some mistakes I didn't make, it seems I won't be staying there much longer.

Well, the fact that they let me stay until graduation has helped me a lot. I'm so grateful for that.

"Is that so? Good thing we met here, then I'll take it now. I'll take you home halfway, how about that?"

"Eh? We're not going to your house?"

"Now it's afternoon and we've also just finished the Study Tour this afternoon, my body is still quite tired and I want to rest. So we can make a home visit next time. You can take Ella with you later."

Another time, huh? I don't know when it really happened.

Maybe never will.

"Is that so? I understand ... By the way, Aciel, who is it?"

Mona looked the other way, where Ren's sister and the servant girl were. Ah, I completely forgot about them for talking about this house visit.

The two of them were still staring at me, with awkward faces.

"Well, I just met a little while ago. He's a painter, you can call him Ren's brother and for the others—"

Before I could finish his introduction, Brother Ren came to cut. He stepped up, approached Mona and held her hand, then spoke in a cheerful tone to me.

"A beautiful girl full of energy. Aciel, is she your boyfriend?"

"... Huh uh?"

This guy, we just met and he said something absurd like that. Under normal circumstances, you should have judged him as my friend, right?

Is it possible that he was just trying to play me?

"He's my friend, and also please don't hold his hand.You can stain him."

I pushed the shameless blond gentleman down and pulled Mona, trying to separate the two as far as possible.

"You're mean once~ so, what's this girl's name?"

"Don't you hear me say his name before? She's Mona, please don't make me repeat it."

"Ya~ ya~ forgive me."

Although Brother Ren only responded to all my words with a thin smile but the servant girl was different, his gaze began to sharpen every word of insinuation I said.

The aura around him felt quite dangerous and scared me a little.

But at the same time it also amazed me at this girl because she really devoted herself to work and was very loyal to her master.

But I'd be more impressed if he could try harder to control the expression on his face.

No, is it possible that this girl can't do it because she likes Ren's sister? That is not a bad conclusion, or even much more reasonable if so.

No one can hold himself back when the person he likes is insulted. Perhaps it was perfectly suited to the attitude of this servant girl. Then his unrestrained expression was something that could not be avoided.

Despite so—

"Huh ..."

—The love story of a servant and his master, huh?

It's too general and classic but I think it's pretty decent.

"Aciel, did you just think of something so disrespectful?"

"No, not at all."

I immediately refuted the baseless accusation that Ren's brother had said and turned to the girl standing beside me.

"But Mona, I'm quite surprised you found me here. We're pretty far down the road, or are you really planning to stop by the park in the first place?"

"Well, I heard a very loud laugh on the side of the road and out of curiosity, I decided to come closer and I found you here. It was entirely a coincidence."

Oh, because Ren's laugh was so loud before that, huh?

"I see, then what if we go back now? I plan to go home and we can be together until halfway."

"Yes, I don't mind that."

Mona immediately accepted it with a faint smile. I nodded and turned my eyes to Ren's brother in front of me.

"Okay, then, brother Ren, I think I'll take my leave. I don't know when we'll see each other again but maybe it'll happen soon."

I reached out to Brother Ren, whom he immediately replied with a smile and shook him.

"Yes, I hope so too. If you want to see me, just come to this park in the afternoon, I'll be here."

"I see, see you then."

"See you later, Ren."

"Yes, be careful when you walk home."

In between the departure, I also nodded at the servant girl but she only returned with another glare, seeming to hate me. Well, nothing can be done with that.

I immediately left the park with Mona, leaving Ren's sister and the servant girl behind who were staring at us. Even so, something still stuck with me.

The gaze that both of them pointed at me before Mona's arrival, what does that mean, huh? They look very surprised.

"Is it really because I'm the one who suddenly kicked that paint can?"

"Hm? Aciel, did you say anything?"

"No, it's nothing."

I might be able to ask her when we meet again later, if not forget her.
