“But I do miss everyone. Besides, I’m in the process of teaching Erica magic.”

“I think it would be better to meet only Erica then, and meet the others only after reaching the ending. I’m sure they like Nina too, but I’m the only one who loves Nina and can’t live without her.”

When he said that kind of thing, Alvin-sama gently lowered his eyebrows and tilted his head, “Okay?”. His face was so beautiful that my eyes were stinging from a moment ago.

However, Alvin-sama’s method might be the safest for now. Thinking that, I nodded again.

“…. I understand. I will do that.”

“Thank you. I love you, Nina.”

Alvin-sama smiled softly and stroked my head.

Three days later, I was sitting on the sofa in my new, spacious house, letting out a “hmmm” sound.

Yes, in just three days, Alvin-sama really built a splendid house in the forest behind the royal castle. For me.

The house had a large field outside of the house that was overgrown with rare and high-quality medicinal herbs.

“…. Fufu, you can go to sleep if you want to.”

And by my side was Cheryl, the silver wolf. She was very smart and cute, and I petted her fluffy form from morning till night. Cheryl had also met Alvin-sama.

“Don’t hesitate to tell me what you want, okay? If I don’t know what Nina wants, I’ll prepare everything for you.”

I realized that if I didn’t say what I wanted, it would be scary, so I talked to him about my dream of a slow life, and he made it all happen in just three days. I was honestly a bit scared.

Incidentally, there were always a few knights stationed around the house. I spent my time in this house from morning to evening, and sleep in the room next to Alvin-sama in the royal castle at night. I also had dinner with him at the royal castle.

After waking up in the morning, I had breakfast with Alvin-sama, and after seeing him off to work, I came here again surrounded by knights.

Since I basically moved around using the teleportation magic circle prepared by Alvin-sama, it seemed that my existence was firmly hidden from everyone except for him and the guards.

“… Something about this is wrong, isn’t it?”

This was definitely not the slow life I was looking for. It was a neat life full of luxury.

I didn’t want to work hard, but I think I should do something to survive to some extent. This situation was just me being spoiled and nurtured by Alvin-sama.

I realized that a slow life wasn’t something that was given to me, but something that I had to grasp on my own.

I had been told that my class with Erica would start again from next week onward. I was told that I didn’t need to make potions or magic tools, so I didn’t need to do anything.

At this rate, I was going to be a useless person, so I stood up to look for something I could do. But I suddenly heard a voice from outside.

“You can’t come in any further!”

I peeked out the window to see what was going on, and to my surprise, Lara and Dirk were there.
