It seems that a ghost appears in one corner of the Bartelemy main palace.
Such a rumor spread even among the maids in the mansion where Licht lives.
"What does a ghost do?"
In response to Lihit's question, Miri, holding a tea pot, stopped moving for a moment. Then I looked back at the young maid who was cleaning the table together.
"What do ghosts do?"
"...It...but only appeared"
Licht alternately looked at the two maids and tilted his head.
"Are you coming to see someone?"
"No, Mr. Lihit! Don't say anything scary."
The young maid turned pale, and Licht then reluctantly lowered his eyebrows.
"sorry..."
"Oh no, Lihit! Please don't apologize, that doesn't mean that! Just being scared when you hear that you're a ghost"
"Are ghosts scary? Why? Do you do anything scary?"
"What are you doing... you are standing in the hallway or walking?"
Licht was more confused and frowned. I couldn't understand why standing or walking in the hallway could be scary.
Then Miri, next to her, laughed as if she was in trouble.
"You're right. You don't know why you're scared..."
"I'm scared of millimeters"
"Yes, a little. I'm not afraid of Lihit."
Lihit murmured, "Maybe" and shut his mouth. Everyone says something weird, but maybe the ghost is a scary person. Will you speak loudly? Or will it be hit?
"To see the ghost?"
"Yeah, you're coming to the main palace. Milli said."
After finishing his work that day, Fernand returned to his room and raised his eyebrows to a carefree cut-out from his beloved mate with beautiful white wings. When he sat down on his couch, taking off his jacket with a tight collar, he picked up his delicate white arms and lifted his slender body on his knees.
"Have Fernand ever met a ghost?"
"No, I don't."
"really!?"
Licht's face shined.
"Then, let's meet together!"
It's nice that Rihit asked me for a request, but since it was about the rumored ghost riot, I was honestly annoyed.
It is true that recently there have been rumors that ghosts have appeared in the corridors leading to the north tower of the palace. There seem to be many witnesses, such as a maid who happened to pass by and a guard on the north tower, but it's unclear because of the vague story, such as the sight of a white shadow and the fact that she crossed her eyes.
"I don't mind, but I'm not sure if it really comes out? If that's okay, I'll take you tonight."
"For real!?"
Lihit dyed his cheeks and said to Fernand, joyfully small "thank you". Fernand wants to make any wish come true when he is thanked, but his cute companion's wishes are so modest, yet a little strange.
-I think it's cute again.
Fernand picked up his jacket, which he had just taken off, and looked back on Miri, who was holding the door.
"Get your warm clothes right away. Don't even have a rug and cushions. Then get hot tea in the pot."
"Understood"
Then, next door, Richt, gently pulled Fernand's sleeve.
"Um, can you prepare a ham sandwich?"
Fernand naturally relaxed his face. Ham's sandwich is a recent favorite of Licht. A simple slice of thinly sliced ham sandwiched in soft white bread, but with a gradual regain of taste, he was the first to say "delicious".
"Of course, take a ham sandwich."
Gently stroking the slightly quirky black hair, Licht smiled further. It is not a bad idea to take advantage of the curiosity of this boy and take a picnic at midnight. On the north side of the palace, the moonlight flowers, which bloom only at night, are in bloom. The figure of a lovely boy who walks through the flower garden, which turns into a crimson color in the moonlight, with its white wings swaying, must be beautiful.
By the time they arrived at the north gate of the main palace by carriage, the lights spilling from the walls were much less.
When I called in to the gatekeepers, I found that the quiet corridor had only minimal light.
When Fernand looked at Lihit walking next to him, he looked as usual, but looked around in a rare way.
-Isn't it scary at night?
Fernand was frustrated for a moment by the appearance of Lihit, who wasn't confused in the dark, but he entwined the fingertips of his connected hands without giving a bow.
"You see, there's a good place to sit there. From here, you can look out over the corridor to the north tower, or take a short walk in the flower garden over there when you wait for the ghosts."
"Yes, you can walk with a ghost."
Fernand had no choice but to give a bitter smile to Licht's thoughts, which he never let go of the ghost. It's a cute idea, but I can't help thinking of being alone with a little more attention.
As soon as we took up a corner of the corridor illuminated by the moonlight, spread the blankets and cushions we carried around, and sat up close to each other, it was a romantic and romantic stage. However, Licht's profile looking at the hallway was so serious that Fernand sighed in his heart.
――Do you want to see so much ghosts?
I wonder if I can't beat the boy's curiosity. Fernand reaches out to the basket beside him, hoping he'll be with him for a little while.
"Are you hungry? I ate dinner a long time ago, so why don't you eat one sandwich you brought?"
"No, I don't eat it."
Licht hurriedly stopped his hand in Fernand's basket.
"I brought it to the ghosts."
"eh!?"
Licht's hair, looking up at Fernand from the side, shines in the moonlight. His black eyes had a surprising and embarrassing color, and his lips, which had become a little white due to the exposure to the open air, tended to hesitate.
"Because I'm telling everyone... scared. I'm sure no one can talk to me."
"Richt..."
"When I met you in this hallway, I thought I'd ask why I'm here. So maybe I'm hungry... I might eat a sandwich."
Fernand confines Lihit in his arm and tightly wraps it in a blanket.
"Is that right... you're not afraid of ghosts, so you can listen to me."
"Is Fernand scary?"
"No, I'm not afraid, so I can talk with you."
When I said so, I relaxed my arm and looked into Licht's face, and a small face broke.
"I'm glad... Fernand isn't afraid, either."
"If you're by my side, I'm not afraid of most things."
"Is that so?"
"Yeah, if you were by my side."
Lihit then snuggled up at Fernand's chest with a joyful voice.
"Then we'll be together forever..."
"Yes, thank you"
"It's warm, here..."
Eventually, I heard a small sleep in my arm. Fernand laughed softly, then turned to the corridor and murmured without telling anyone.
"Sorry, I think I've already slept... I can't see you tonight, so give up?"
