The smile in his eyes could not be concealed.

This scene fell into Sylphy's eyes. She felt that it was the first time in the past six months that she saw this kind of "feeling" smile in Hilda's eyes.

Because Hilda could only catch a similar 'feeling' when she looked far away at the trees outside the window.

But at those times, Hilda often didn't smile.

Then why is there a smile at this time?

Because Hilda is watching "The Shadow".

He was standing opposite her, with long curly brown hair, dark grey eyes, and the name 'Alan'.

Too vivid, too real.

The vague dream seemed to have a concrete "shape" at this moment.

Even if it's an 'illusion'.

It's a 'dream' that will shatter at the slightest touch.

It is the 'sand in your hand' that you cannot grasp.

she was.

Still happy.

Sylphy was also very happy.

She was happy for Hilda.

She knew very well that this was not an 'illusion'.

She knew very well that the other party's strong feelings at this time were not directed at a false shadow, a fake who happened to pass by Boreas.

But she truly invested it in her children.

This is true.

This was true even if Hilda didn't know it.

Sylphy smiled.

For Hilda, and for Alan.

The tension from just now has eased.

By this time, Alice had calmed down from her surprise. She pushed away the stool beside her and jumped into Hilda's arms in two steps.

"Mother! Are you going to give us etiquette lessons yourself?!"

"Yeah, doesn't Alice welcome me?"

"Of course you are welcome!!"

In Sylphy's reddish-brown eyes, Hilda touched Alice's head and looked at Allen.

at this time.

She truly felt that the lady who was very kind to her and shouldn't have been sad looking at the tree all day was in the same room with her son and daughter and was happy.

very nice.

My actions worked.

What about Alan?

She subconsciously wanted to turn her eyes to see Alan's reaction.

The picture that catches the eye——

Alan lowered his head and flipped the book, his fingers turning between the pages, without looking at Hilda again.

His eyes

Glancing at himself.

! !

Sylphy's smile froze on her face.

Exposed! Alan is very perceptive. He must have realized that I was the one who brought the lady here.

Her body, which had just relaxed, suddenly tensed up, and she stood there like a brick.

Then, he turned his neck very stiffly and was about to pick up his book and pretend nothing had happened.

at this time.

On the table, at the edge of vision.

A hand reached in.

It was Alan's hand.

Eh?

Sylphy blinked and was about to turn to see what Alan was going to do.

The next moment, the fingers moved.

Fold your wrist and clasp your thumb over his middle finger.

Let go, fingers flicking in the air.

Snapped!

"Hey!"

Everyone in the classroom turned to look at Sylphy, who suddenly raised her head as if hit by something in the air on the forehead and screamed.

The white hair between her bangs rose on her forehead and slowly fell down.

It seemed as if it was just driven by the action of raising its head.

"Luffy? Are you okay?"

"It's okay."

Sylphy covered her head with one hand and quickly moved the other hand.

"It's just that my neck feels a little uncomfortable."

The pupils moved quietly.

Look at Alan.

The latter was shaking his head slightly and flipping through the book in his hands.

This behavior was too obvious. Allen combined it with yesterday's tea party and Rudy's reaction when he chased Edna out at night, and instantly concluded that these two people were behind it.

But the starting point is good.

It's just that there is a lack of information, which has caused some misunderstandings.

So he was just a little helpless, but not angry at all.

Gilenu's voice floated over.

"Rudy? What are you doing?"

"Ah? No, you didn't do anything?"

Rudy, who was standing opposite Allen, held the book in his hand high and flat, covering his face completely.

Successfully avoided Alan's 'Love Headshot'.

can only say.

Very bad.

And Sylphy looked at Rudy.

Slightly puff up the corners of your mouth.

But he smiled slightly under the cover of his arms and palms.

It seems that Allen hasn't done this kind of intimate action for a long time in the past six months.

The fighting spirit that came out of his fingers was like a condensed wind.

The feeling of pressure on the forehead feels like someone is pressing and pushing the head.

It doesn’t hurt at all.

"Oh? Is this what Edna explained to you last night?"

Hilda first listened to Edna's explanation of the meaning of the family crest yesterday, and couldn't help but shake her head and smile.

"Edna is right, but there are some objective historical reasons why the family crest does not appear on clothes."

"Historical reasons?"

Hilda looked at Rudy who asked the question.

"Boreas has been a military officer for generations, not a civil servant. When humans and demons fought each other, the family crest was engraved on the armor, not embroidered."

"And in the peaceful times after the war, our ancestors took off their blood-stained armor that symbolized honor, and never cared whether to replace the emblems carved on the armor with embroidery on their clothes. Even if the emblems no longer exist, the glory of Boreas should shine in the long river of history."

"Compared to superficial honors such as coats of arms, our ancestors cared more about the territories and populations under their command."

"Over the years, even though the other families have gradually become civil servants in the peaceful era and have clung to power in the capital, the Boreas family, which has been a military family for generations, has still retained its emphasis on the territory and its respect for tradition."

Hilda smiled.

"So, in my father's eyes, the Fitoya territory itself is the 'coat of arms', so he likes to look out from the high tower and see the 'glory' that belongs to Boreas."

"That's why you don't see decent coats of arms at home."

"I see."

Sylphy, Gilene and the others nodded.

Hilda turned to look at Alan, who was resting his chin on his hand, staring at the "Heart of Iron" on the book on the table in deep thought.

"But, actually, there is a coat of arms at home, but it's not easy to notice."
