"Huh? Cassis?"

I blinked when Cassis suddenly came out of Elisha's mouth.

It was all the more so because Elisha would have agreed to go alone with me.

Why do you want to bring Cassis with us?

Elisha added an explanation when I was surprised and said nothing.

"You said Cassis was your guardian. So let's take Cassis with us."

It was just a joke between us...

Perhaps they became close without my knowledge.

Not too long ago, I thought Cassis and Elisha wouldn't have a chance of dating...

Even if I remember my past life and there were variables, would the power of the original story still work?

Come to think about it, I don't know if I could have made many different changes because I was a supporting character.

The main character's most important narrative must not be swayed by the effort of a minor villain trying to change themself.

I thought positively, calming down my pounding heart.

Good is good.

If this flow doesn't turn my way into a flame path, I'm fine with it.

As I came to that conclusion, I felt something subtle, but I tried hard to shake it off.

I think it didn't matter if I took Cassis.

"Right. Let's go together. Instead, this is a secret between the three of us."

"Yes! Secret."

Elisha covered her mouth with her hands and smiled.

***

I took Elisha and Cassis to the Blamey Magic Shop.

Blamey said with a puzzled look when she saw me revisiting.

"Oh, little guest. It's not the last day of the festival yet."

"I'm not here to pick up what I ordered. I came because my friends wanted to come."

I replied in a childlike voice and stared at Elisha and Cassis.

Elisha was already fascinated by the mysterious magic equipment.

Cassis didn't show it, but he touched things.

"You can't push a button or anything."

Blamey alerted Elisha and Cassis.

But at the same time as the warning, Elisha accidentally pressed the perfume pump.

Chik.

At that moment, steam gathered around Elisha's face.

"Ack!"

I looked at Elisha, startled. Elisha shook her hand to disperse the clouds, but only more gathered.

"Oh, my. You already pressed it."

Blamey blinked and gave a pitiful look.

It seemed it was not harmful to the human body when I saw her staying still.

"G-Go away!"

However, Elisha stamped her feet anxiously.

In response, Blamey soothed Elisha in a calm voice.

"Just stay still and it'll disappear on its own. Although, there are some side effects."

"S-Side effects?"
