Starting over again...

“It’s nice to meet you, Lady Rikelvita. My name is Neal Liston.”

“It’s nice to meet you, Miss Rikelvita. My name is Nia Liston.”

We’re the siblings of the Liston family. Though the soul of the sister’s a little different.

After we all bathed, we sat out at a table set up in the garden and partook in some tea, before then being called to the Silver’s parlor—and so we started from square one with Rikelvita. This time, we were able to give proper introductions with the red-haired girl only trembling from nervousness.

“I-I-I-I’m...R-R-R-R-Rikel. Sorry ’bout earlier...” The girl timidly sat in the chair, absolutely exuding anxiety. Even her speech was filled with stammering. Her eyes were swimming all over the place, and she was so nervous that she almost came across as suspicious... But she was a petite, and adorable young lady. The simple dress that she wore suited her.

Though varying shades, the daughters of the Silver family all had red hair and gray eyes. You would assume without being told that they were siblings. Thinking about it, wasn’t Reliared not even related to them by blood? And yet she looked exactly like them.

Rikelvita was the second daughter, so she would be older than Ririmi standing beside her, but she was so small and her face so young that she looked as if she were the same age if not even younger. So this was the second daughter. She was...extremely flustered by social situations, wasn’t she?

“Sorry the introduction came so late. As you can see, she’s...quite shy around people. She doesn’t like talking to strangers very much,” Ririmi explained.

“Does that mean she’s all right with family?” I asked.

Ririmi nodded. “Yes, well... I suppose it’s more accurate to say that she’s not actually able to talk properly with anyone but family...”

Hm, I see. In that case, she was one of those types.

“Miss Rikelvita, you came to see my debut stage show, didn’t you? The Girl Who Fell in Love.”

Reliared had told me something to that effect soon after we started school. Something about Rikelvita and her father having gone to watch me onstage. And that Reliared herself definitely didn’t go with them. That was the only time I heard about the second daughter. Or, no, I suppose I heard about her at the opening of the broadcasting station, as well. That was about it though. If she was fine with family, then the story of her coming to watch me was likely true.

At the end of the day, I was also a member of the Liston family—I could at least do the bare minimum to act like an aristocrat. I...think I did, anyway. Probably.

“Thank you ever so much for coming. Did you enjoy the show?” I wasn’t sure what exactly attracted her enough to go all that way to see me in person, but there was no denying she did just that. Seeing how she was now, that trip to the capital must have put her under great stress.

“Y-Y-Yeah...” Although quite unrefined, her young face seemed to become younger as she smiled.
