Mori Yuesa thought it was dirty, so she asked the little girl to help her sit down first.

Sit in a row, squint your eyes...

Enjoy the warm sunshine and the grass tips that prick my arms. Time seems to slowly thicken when I close my eyes, and the sound gradually becomes silent as my vision darkens...

Philippa pursed her lips and quietly moved closer to Mori Yuesha.

"I... miss my mom."

"Mom?" Mori Yuesha half-closed her eyes and looked up, supporting her head with her hands behind her back: "How did she die? Miles didn't say."

“…She fell.”

"What a shame. Was it an accident?"

It seemed that Philippa was not entirely sure either. The little girl shook her head: "Myers said, yes."

"Where's your father?"

When she heard the word 'father', Philippa's little face showed even more confusion than before.

She hasn't seen her father for a long time...

"He abandoned you and James?"

Philippa shook her head: "Miles said that he couldn't come back to see me because of 'some things'..."

"Do you miss him then?"

"A little bit." Philippa gestured with a small gap: "Dad used to hug me..."

There are reasons why children mature early.

Mori Yuesa smiled and raised her face higher.

Why did Miles bring these two little guys to such a remote place for a "vacation"? An old man with no ability, two little kids, a remote and unfamiliar town -

Philippa was clearer: "Miles is afraid..."

"Fear?"

"I'm afraid of my big sister."

woman…?

That old guy?

Mori Yuesa felt that things were starting to get interesting.

"He's hiding from a woman?"

"Yes, a strange older sister who is as beautiful as my sister."

Mori Yuesha drooped her lips: "As beautiful as me?" She repeated it again in case she couldn't hear it: "'As beautiful as me?' And me?"

The little girl was a little flustered: "...very beautiful."

"With me?" Mori Yuesa stared at her.

"…very beautiful."

"As pretty as me?"

Philippa finally came to her senses...

“…Not as pretty as my sister.”

"I'll just say it."

relieved.

——This is definitely not to force a child to lie, Mori Yuesha knows it very well. She is teaching little Philippa to learn to have a "sincere" conversation from an early age, and not to get used to using exaggerated methods to attract the other party's attention.

Since she was called sister, she had to teach Philippa some good things.

"Oh..." Philippa blinked: "Sister Nagini, is she your wife?"

Mori Tsukisa: ...

It was a bit sudden.

Is this child too precocious?

"Mom often looks at Dad with the same eyes. Sister Nagini does the same..."

Mori Yuesa nudged the little girl's body with her shoulder and said with a sly smile: "She is one of them."

"One?" Philippa suddenly became serious: "Sister, it is illegal to marry twice."

“…We’re not married yet.”

"Sooner or later. Sister, it's against the law to marry twice."

"Thank you for your warning, Judge Philippa." Mori Yuesha replied seriously, and then burst out laughing: "I'm beginning to like you, Philippa."

"…Then, where is your sister's father?"

Mori Yuesa replied that she had no father.

"Where's mom?"

Mother…

The emerald nails pointed in the direction of the sun.

"in the sky."

"Heaven?" Philippa blinked. "I'm sorry..."

"What are you thinking about?" Mori Yuesha drew a circle: "It's somewhere deeper."

"Starry sky."

Again Philippa was confused.

It is obvious for a seven or eight-year-old child to tell whether Mori Yuesa's mother is still alive.

“Sometimes I am there, sometimes I am not.”

Philippa began to look at Mori Yuesha in a strange way.

All in all, I feel a little sorry for her.

Her father couldn't come to see her and her brother because of some things, and her mother fell to her death...

Unexpectedly, Sister Mori Yuesha's life was even more tragic.

She didn't even know whether her mother was still alive.

Sometimes I am there, sometimes I am not...

——It seems that my sister is not in a good mental state...

Wanna talk to Miles?

"Philippa, I've allowed you to be as beautiful as me. If you dare to plot against me behind my back like Arrietty did—" Mori Yuesha seemed to understand the little girl's 'compassionate' look. She suddenly turned around and bared her teeth at her: "I will hide all those beige socks of yours!"

Such threatening words.

Philippa shrank her neck: "I didn't think of anything..."

"I already heard it." Mori Yuesha pointed to her ears and said seriously, "I can hear what you are mumbling in your heart."

"Well, sister, don't be angry about what Miles said..."

Yeah, something's going on?

"I won't get mad at an old man, but I was so busy playing with you yesterday that I didn't pay much attention to him—I didn't hear him completely. What did he say? The whole thing?"

Philippa looked hesitantly at Mori Yuesha's pair of 'parts' that were totally disproportionate to her face, and said timidly: "Miles said..."

'Don't envy that sister.'

'Philippa. You will grow up to be a wise, graceful lady.'

After repeating it, Philippa secretly observed Mori Yuesha's expression.

"elder sister?"

Mori Yuesha's teeth felt a little itchy.

"I'm fine haha..."

Who are you calling a fool, old man?

Chapter22 Nightmare?

Take a nap on the grass under the care of the sun.

A group of small ants formed a long, winding team, shouting slogans as they climbed up the half-gnawed apple core one by one.

Carry it home piece by piece.

After moving to a new place, a large blue and white checkered cloth was spread over the fresh and clean area.

There were quite a few people sitting on the cloth, including Miles and his family of three.

——In the afternoon, Nancy and Tina came to visit with their young boyfriends.

"Master, you have done something sinful... ahem, you have to attend the party. They are already waiting at the door."

Nagini woke up Mori Yuesha and Philippa, who were sleeping in a ball, with a "very troublesome" expression on her face. The two girls, who were very different in age, had similar saliva flowing from their mouths...

"Yawn...my bones are all numb. It's so hot, why don't you come lie down for a while, Nagini?"

"I talked to Miles about architecture. Master, I have to say that Mr. Miles is a very knowledgeable man."

A damn old man who speaks ill of others.

"Then I went to look after Mr. Ben."

The one who doesn't like sweets.

"Now, since your friend is here, so..."

"I'll go and take a look!"

He patted his butt and jumped up.

Nagini picked up the still dazed Philippa and held the girl in her arms.

"It's right at the front gate. They seem to have brought a lot of stuff."

"what?"

"food."

"Want to have a picnic?" Mori Yuesha's eyes lit up.

then…

This is the scene before our eyes.

A large blue and white checkered cloth was spread on the lawn, and there were people sitting all over the ground. Miss Caroline seemed to have no intention of participating in the picnic, and she turned down Nagini's invitation with a cold face that rarely smiled.

She seems quite busy.

"Give me some fries, and yes, that ice-cold Coke!"

The whole picnic blanket was up to someone, with several French fries in his mouth, a Coke snatched from Tina in his left hand, and a beef sandwich in his right hand.

"Cheers~"

"cheers!"

Different drinks, same plastic cups collide together.

Gumbling.

In hot weather, drinking a glass of ice-cold soda is almost as painful as cutting your head.

"Does she always talk like this in her life?" Tina asked Nagini beside her in a low voice. The maids were much more well-behaved. They knelt on the picnic blanket with their knees together, feeding their master slowly and taking care of a few chattering young people and two small children from time to time.
