Gremory pondered what this feeling was, but she couldn't find an answer. She picked up a few blueberries from the basket that Lace had given her and then wandered around the fence.
The knights who were patrolling laughed at the cat's footprints on the dirt floor.
"I think the black cat came into the mansion again."
"That's right. Is there something wrong with the cat? Why did it wander around one place like this?"
It was only at sunset that Gremory turned into a human and entered the mansion. As she entered the unfamiliar yet cozy bedroom, Anna brought her a meal.
"It's a goat meat pie. Our chef made it with great care. You'll love it."
"..."
Anna was quite surprised. It was because Gremory was surprisingly obedient in picking up the tableware.
Gremory put a piece of meat in her mouth and chewed on it.
"...It's really delicious."
It was as if she knew it tasted well.
Like I've been here for a really long time...
Reassured, Anna sat across from Gremory and laughed.
"Miss Mori, I have a wish."
"What is it?"
"Miss. Soon, you can be happy."
"It's funny. A wish is to have it for yourself. Why do you have a wish for others? What do I say to you?"
"Because you're my precious family member. I hope you will soon regain your memory."
"..."
"Oh! Of course, you don't have to rush. All you need is peace!"
Gremory stared at the maid's face, which was infinitely good and Innocent. It was touching, but she felt a strange antipathy. She had a gut feeling that shr shouldn't get caught up in the maid's kindness.
'I feel a sense of anticipation. Has it ever been like this before?'
In the end, Gremory decided to focus on her meal. Anna stared at Gremory expectantly, but quietly put the plate away after the meal.
***
It was close to midnight. Gremory lay on the bed with her legs crossed and stared at the ceiling with a dissatisfied expression.
'Why doesn't that silver-haired pervert come?"
He said he was preparing something until midnight, but there was no news.
'But... why am I paying attention to what he says?'
Do you care? Would Gremory, this superlative witch, speak of anything like a human?
Cih! Gremory sneered into the air and jumped out of bed. She made her way to Chession's office. Thanks to the daytime tour of the mansion, it was not difficult to get to the office.
Boom.
With a familiar and distinctive knock, she opened the door to his office.
"Mori? I didn't expect you to come to me first."
Gremory, with a sullen face, snorted.
"What, what is that happy face? It's disgusting."
"Of course, it's nice to meet you. You came to me first."
"Don't get me wrong. I'm just here to get rid of the sting before I leave here. Show me what you said you were going to be ready by midnight."
"Did you come here because you were afraid that you would be embarrassed if you didn't see that?"
"That's right, so tell me what it is right now."
"Come here, I'll show you."
Chession flung the door wide open and gestured kindly into the office. Gremory followed his hand and trudged inside.
"Why is it so dark in the room? What on earth do you want to show me... Huh?"
With a popping sound, something flashed outside the window. The entire dark interior of the office was filled with brilliant flashes.
The fireworks were starting.
The brilliant hues colored Gremory's black eyes. Gremory approached the window in a possession and stared at the colorful flames.
"Wow."
Pang! Fireworks, big and small, exploded, mesmerizing Gremory. Chession looked at Gremory's expression and smiled with satisfaction. Although she lost her memory, her face still showed her emotions.
"Mori, I really wanted to show you this."
"...Why?"
"Last spring, when we attended a banquet at the Imperial Palace, you saw the fireworks in the Imperial Palace and said it was beautiful."
"Me?"
"Yes, I made up my mind at that time. I will definitely show you a prettier fireworks display. Originally, Grand Duke Ethel's fireworks display was held every autumn, but this time we moved it up a bit."
Chession slipped his hand on the back of Gremory's round, black head. He tried to stroke it gently, but Gremory, who was bewitched by the fireworks, did not resist at all.
'It's now.'
After examining the reaction and mood, he now sneaked into Gramory's hand. Gremory flinched for a moment, then glanced at Chession to see what he was doing.
"Wait and see."
The Chession's wristwatch began to glow softly. At the same time, memories of the past unfolded in front of their eyes.
The first meeting where she kidnapped a witch with a ridiculous misunderstanding.
The members of the Grand Duke are ridiculously sunny, completely mistaking the witch for a human.
The hardships they endured together, the times they cried and laughed.
The days when the hazy emotions became clear.
The brilliant moments were clearly captured in Gremory's eyes. It was then that she realized who was standing next to her.
"...Oh."
As the memories flowed, she felt her emotions awaken. Tickling but precious emotions grew like sprouts in her heart.
When all the memories unfolded, and the light of the record faded.
Gremory was staring at Chession's face, not at the flames outside the window.
"Hello? Mori."
"...Yes, hello."
Pick, with a faint smile of relief, Chession lowered his head and kissed her. Gremory lifted her heel as if she had been waiting for it, matching his movements.
The fireworks colored the reunion of the two gorgeously.
***
"Anna, did you hear that? Did you just say hello?"
Isolene, who was attached to the door of Chession's office, whispered.
"Yes! I heard! She must have her memory back, right?"
Anna, who was below Isolene, whispered. Then Seara, who was crouching beneath Anna, became angry.
"Be quiet! I can't hear what they're saying because of the fireworks."
The members of the Grand Duke's residence snuggled up to the door and listened quietly.
Bailey, who was at the bottom, whispered.
"Huh? I can hear footsteps. I think it's coming this way."
"Holy! Everyone disperse!"
At Isolene's orders, the people at the door dispersed in an Instant. Then the door of the office opened.
People who were hiding everywhere witnessed. The scene where Chession hugs Gremory and heads to his bedroom.
People smiled happily and secretly congratulated Miss Mori on her return. Feeling their presence, Chession grinned and whispered to Gremory.
"I think everyone sees me as a silver-haired witch pervert."
"That's right, pervert."
"Yes, I'm going to try to be like that today."
When Chession arrived at the bedroom, he put Gremory down on the bed. Gremory looked at Chession with a bewitching pose.
Chession lay down beside Gremory. Gremory then burrowed into Chession's arms as if she had been waiting for it.
Gremory's body melted as he felt the familiar warmth. Chession's body, which rises and falls lightly along with his breath, gives her a sense of stability.
"Mori."
Chession's voice was low. Gremory raised her head slightly to look at his face. His purple eyes touched her relentlessly.
"Yes."
"Kiss me"
"..."
"Huh?"
For some reason, Gremory didn't respond for a long time.
"Mori, what's wrong?"
"I'm thinking about it."
"Why? Don't you want to kiss me?"
"Rather, I was wondering what the difference is between a peck and a kiss."
"...Huh?"
Chession's eyes began to flutter.
"I've heard that there are two kinds of kisses for humans. Peck and a kiss. When you asked me to kiss you, I suddenly remembered."
"...Don't you know the difference between the two?"
"Yes, I don't know."
"How can you... until now without knowing? Wait, Mori."
Confused, Chession sat up. Gremory blinked with an innocent face, as if she didn't know anything.
"Why?"
"... You! You said you received sex education in the demon world."
"Yes."
"But how do you not know the difference between a peck and a kiss?"
"I only learned by writing."
"..."
"Chession?"
Hearing the answer that would quench a thousand years' desires, Chession just chuckled. To a naive witch who doesn't even know the difference between a peck and a kiss, what did she want to do?
"...No, Mori. You don't have to kiss me."
"Really? Yes."
"Let's go to bed. I'm tired."
"So what's the difference between a peck and a kiss?"
"...I'll tell you next time. I'm a little tired now."
"Yes, yes."
Gremory, with a relaxed face, snuggled up to Chession's body. Feeling resigned, Chession decided to just pet Gremory and put her to sleep.
Hmm, Gremory gritted again. The emotional reunion was over, and everything was back to normal, and she fell asleep quickly because she was at ease.
It was a night full of worries only for Chession.
