The bloom of various flowers on the expanse of grasslands in the east signaled the arrival of spring.
The cherry blossom tree that was planted in my Sanctuary mansion garden seed like it was about to bloom.
「We can finally have tea in the garden now that it has gotten warr.」
「Truly, look, the cherry blossoms are about to bloom.」
「This cherry blossom tree is splendid. It will look so lovely in full bloom.」
Madam Rosary, Madam Elizabeth, and Madam Lumia were having tea in while my children were on their lap.
Why were they in my house?
A few days later, the cherry blossoms began blooming all at once in the Sanctuary.
These trees were a bit special.
The speed of the bloom from bud to flower was quick, and the length of that full bloom was long.
Dryas said “Wouldn’t it be nice to see them bloom for a long ti~”.
「Still, we should be grateful to Dryas.」
「Yeah, seeing these cherry blossoms, it reminds of Japan.」
「Lulu loves cherry blossoms too nya.」
In the mansion’s garden, the flowers dotting the branches of the cherry blossom tree were fully open.
As a forr Japanese man, seeing cherry blossoms always touched my heart. It seems Akane felt the sa way, she was unusually quiet as she admired the flowers.
「There are cherry blossoms in the Royal Capital, Volton, and Rockford, but the one here is the best.」
「Truly, cherry blossoms in full bloom are magnificent.」
「I would love to have so in Yggurle Kingdom as well.」
And, as if it was the most natural event, Madam Rosary, Madam Elizabeth, and Madam Lumia were elegantly drinking tea and viewing the flowers on the table set in my garden.
The madams did their administrative work better than others, leaving no room for complaints.
As nobility and royalty, they were masterful in managing the civil officials in the new governnt office.
In the lawn, Haruka and Etoile were crawling.
Haruka and Etoile recently learned to crawl, and they seed like they were having fun.
However, Sophia and Maria who were following Etoile and Haruka were having a hard ti keeping up.
anwhile, Flora had been running around since her legs are stronger, though she still falls down often because her balance wasn’t that good yet, which was why Marnie always kept a watchful eye on her. ŖÀＮộ𝐛È𝘴
I was also interacting with the kids while eating the snacks that Maria and Maribelle prepared and drinking alcohol.
Though I’m not very good with alcohol, with the best location and the perfect situation, I felt like having a drink.
「Takumi-sama, the wine is running low.」
「Wait a bit, I’ll bring more out right away.」
Laeva said she felt good and wanted to drink today, so she was eating food and guzzled down the wine.
「Takumi-sama, your glass is empty. Have so more.」
「Ah, thanks Fluna-san.」
「Ah! That’s not fair, Fluna-san! Please let pour so for you!」
「W-wait, Berkut, calm down!」
Today, it wasn’t only Fluna-san who ca by, even Berkut did.
Fluna-san lived by the sea in the Sanctuary, so she would occasionally give gifts of seafood and have exchanges with us sotis. But it was rare for Berkut to visit the Sanctuary.
Normally, we would et when I go to the Demon Continent base, or in the Sky Island, but she dropped by the Sanctuary this ti.
Since there were more things to enjoy in the Sanctuary now, Berkut probably wanted to co by.

A slight distance away from Takumi, the three mothers who were taking care of the children were whispering to each other.
「Takumi-sama hasn’t noticed Berkut and Fluna-san’s feelings, hasn’t he?」
「Maria, that’s just how Takumi-sama is.」
「Still, Sophia-san, that just makes Fluna-san and Berkut even more pitiful.」
Fluna and Berkut’s feelings towards Takumi were obvious to everyone around them, but Takumi himself hadn’t noticed.
「Takumi-sama is oblivious, after all. Well, that’s another thing that makes him adorable, though.」
「Indeed. He isn’t like that with other people, but he becos dense the mont it’s about him.」
「With Takumi-sama, you’d have to be direct with your approach and close the distance, after all.」
「Ahh, so that’s how it was for you.」
As they were already wives and mothers to his children, the three were at ease as they watched over Berkut and Fluna-san.
Since their own encounters with Takumi were under unique circumstances, they didn’t have the normal progression to romance. And that was why they looked upon Berkut and Fluna with warm, gentle eyes.
