"I'm sorry, brother, it seems I was a little impatient just now."

"Forget it, but don't let it happen again. If you really have something important to discuss with me, I will still listen to you."

"It's great, there is finally peace..."

Seeing that the atmosphere finally calmed down, Lu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. At the same time, he also expressed his gratitude to Alice for using her voice transmission magic.

(Thanks to you, Alice.)

(I didn’t do anything. If you really want to thank me, thank Caesar.)

(That’s what I said, but I still have to thank you for not making Melo angry and letting her act recklessly.)

(You're welcome, because I'm also afraid of what she will do when she gets angry.)

"Okay, in that case, the tea party is almost over, but I haven't thought about the arrangements for the next activities."

"Is it because your plan failed?"

"Okay, Althea, don't say any more. Melo, it doesn't matter if Caesar is like this, right?"

"Lord Solomon, let him rest on the sofa for a while. We can't let the tablecloth be drooled all over."

"I'll carry him."

"I'm sorry, third brother, this guy has caused you trouble."

"fine."

With that said, Roland carried the sleeping Caesar and placed him on a sofa nearby so that he could lie down and sleep.

"Thank you, Mr. Roland, then... I will clean up the tableware here."

"Let me help."

Qin Yin helped clear away the dishes without saying a word, and Sheila had no intention of refusing.

"When we finish packing, let's listen to Alice and go for a walk by the lake."

"Okay, it's also good to go for a walk."

"...Really, I had no intention of getting so close at all."

"It's not a bad thing, it's quite rare, isn't it?"

Milo laughed at himself on the side, but Lu didn't think she was that depressed. After Sheila and Qinyin finished clearing the tableware, everyone except the sleeping Caesar came to the lake.

Everyone was just walking aimlessly, either looking at the nearby scenery in fascination, or chatting and laughing casually. Inadvertently, the distance between each other gradually widened.

Lu stopped and stared at the two ducks, one big and one small, playing among the bushes. Soon she realized that they were far away from her. Lu thought about catching up with them, but she didn't move very fast.

Lu felt as if she was relieved and looked towards the lake.

"Well, the weather is really nice, so it makes the trip worthwhile."

Through this tea party, I couldn't help but get to know Melo a little bit, and I also met an old friend, Sheila. He raised his head and followed the girls walking by the lake with his eyes.

At this time, Lu also turned her attention to one of the people, then took a step, and then had a conversation with her.

"Melo, can I talk to you alone now?"

"elder brother."

Melo turned her head gently, but Lu was keenly aware of the hint of loneliness revealed in her swaying pupils.

"Melo, have you and Sheila been living in this building lately?"

"Well, that's right."

"Wouldn't it be lonely just the two of you living in such a big house?"

"If brother thinks so, you might as well move in together. We welcome you."

"What are you talking about! Besides, I can't get used to living in this kind of house."

"Nonsense. My brother used to be able to live in an abandoned place, and he slept on the ground. He was not even used to sleeping on a bed. How could he possibly say such a thing?"

"When did you start monitoring my every move?"

"Haha, my brother is so cute when he is panicking. He is quite pure, brother."

"You don't have to worry!"

Feeling that he had been fooled, Lu subconsciously stepped aside and turned his red face away so that she could not see it.

"I'm not kidding, brother... I may have developed feelings for you that I shouldn't have."

Lu didn't know whether Melo's words were sincere or a joke, but she pretended not to hear them.

Time passed quickly. The crow flew across the evening sky. Looking at the house dyed red by the sunset, I always felt a little lonely and reluctant to leave.

"Thank you all for today. I haven't had such a happy day in a long time. It's true."

"It's probably the same for us, Melo, thank you for your hospitality."

The hustle and bustle of the tea party, the walk by the lake, the difficult but constantly growing relationship, such a day was indeed a very happy one.

"Thank you for your hospitality today, Melo."

"Goodbye, Milo, and Miss Sheela."

Alice and Althea said goodbye to Melo and Sheela, and their expressions looked very happy.

"But I haven't had enough fun yet. Why does time fly by so fast?"

"Who made you fall asleep..."

"Oh, I suddenly felt sleepy at that time. I don't know what happened."

Caesar was grumbling and yawning. Looking at him like this, it would be better not to tell him about being drugged.

"Then it's almost time for us to leave. Let's see you again in the future, Melo and Sheela. I hope that then we can still be as happy as today."

"Well, goodbye, brother."

"Dear gentlemen, welcome to visit again next time...please be careful."

Everyone shook their shoulders and walked back. Everyone else turned around, but Alice stopped in front of the house.

"Melo."

"...? What's wrong, Sister Alice?"

Melo, who was about to go back to his room, was stopped by Alice and turned his head with a puzzled look on his face. Others also stopped and stared at the worried Alice.

"What's wrong? Sister Alice? Do you have anything else to do with me?"

"Well, Melo... I want to ask you something. I know that although you are an evil star warrior, it may be a bit presumptuous for me to say this..."

"Please? There's no way you want me to give up brother Solomon."

"That's not the case, it's just that I want to be with you, Melo..."

Alice shook her lips slightly in embarrassment, then she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, seemingly trying to calm down. Melo, on the other hand, remained silent, patiently waiting for Alice to speak out.

Then——Alice expressed her wish.

"Then...Melo, can you be friends with me?"

"Huh? What? That's it - wait, friend...?"

Milo blinked, and Lu and Sheila were also stunned, unable to say a word. Seeing everyone's confused reactions, Alice continued to speak.

"I know this is wishful thinking on my part, but I don't want to be your enemy. I want to establish a good relationship with you no matter what."

"You...wait a minute, I hope Brother Solomon can become the Demon King again! Even so, do you still say you want to be friends with me?"

"Yes, even so, I still want to get closer to you, Melo."
