"Oh... yes, welcome."
I pointed Avinox to the sofa first.
But I couldn't take my eyes off the halo that flashed.
As if conscious of my gaze, Avinox asked with a slight blush.
"Today, do I look weird?"
"Yes? No, you're cool."
"Well... that's a relief."
Avinox smiled shyly.
"Do you have any other plans besides meeting me today, Sir Avinox?"
"Well, it's not like that. It's just... I like the weather."
He dressed up like that because the weather was nice?
It's obvious did you woke up in the morning, take a bath, and trimmed your hair neatly?
"Oh, because the weather is nice?"
"Yes... It's a nice day, haha."
Knowing that it was a clumsy answer, Avinox smiled, scratching his cheek.
But he looked so pretty when he was shy.
I stared blankly at Avinox for a few seconds.
"...Lady Florentia?"
Until Avinox smiled awkwardly at me.
Perez and Avinox are all so pretty that I'm in trouble.
"Hmm."
I managed to come to my senses and put the tea and refreshments I had prepared down in front of Avinox.
The tea leaves were flower tea made by Larane herself a while ago.
I don't know the exact name, but it was the tea I enjoy drinking these days because it smells good.
Avinox grinned at the fragrant aroma of warm tea water rising from the glass.
“Ah, it’s Ephilia flower tea. It smells really good.”
"Is it possible to distinguish only by scent?"
I asked in surprise.
"Yes, the Eastern part of the country has developed a tea culture more than the central part of the Empire, and recently we've been studying a variety of tea leaves."
"For tea... study?
"The person I mentioned the other day likes tea very much."
Avinox replied, touching the circumference of the round teacup with his fingertips.
She like tea, also she likes books.
When I called to Lombardy's mansion, Avinox came dressed most extravagantly.
I clapped my hands as if I had just remembered.
"Come to think of it, may I ask how it's been since then? I'm curious because I gave you advice."
"Oh, that's..."
Avinox answered with a dry cough as if to suppress the smile that kept leaking.
“I confessed my heart according to Lady Florentia's advice.”
"Did she accept it?"
Avinox nodded instead of answering.
"Since then, we have been exchanging letters through acquaintances, though not often. It's all thanks to you, Lady Florentia."
"Did I do anything? That's what Sir Avinox, who took courage, did it."
Hmm.
That's what it means.
