The Magician Commander was curious about the magic tool and wanted to know more about how it looked, felt, and worked, while the Knight Commander was curious about the hidden passageway from the city, the dust inside the secret base, and whether there were any furnishings.

Maybe he suspected that it was a hideout of a criminal organization.
Cain waved a flag in his mind that he was right, but he didn’t show it on his face.

 

By now, the gendarmerie and others might be searching unattended warehouses and empty houses in the city.
To see if there were any other secret passages.

 

The door of the room opened vigorously with a knock at the same time.

Dianna had arrived.

 

“I’ve finished my studies! Please play with me, big brother!”

“Dear Dianna, please wait for an answer after knocking before entering.”

“Okay~.”

 

Ilvalino complained to Dianna, who came in cheerfully.
She answers every time, but she never tries to fix it.

She always responds well though.

 

“Diane, three!”

“Seven!”

 

Cain and Dianna have been playing the “add up to ten” game for a while now.
It’s a game where you have to quickly answer the numbers that Cain says that adds up to 10.

If you can answer correctly, Cain will praise Dianna a lot, which is a win-win game.
It was a game that Cain started to play in order to have an opportunity to praise Dianna, but thanks to this game, Dianna was able to add without using her fingers.

 

“What did your brother and I do?”

 

She tapped Cain’s thigh to shift his position, and he climbed up to sit next to her.

“We were just talking about dreams.”

“What do you mean dream?”

“Hmm? Longing for something you want and fantasies? I wonder what the exact definition of dreams is.”

“Difficult, isn’t it?”

When Cain tilted his head, Dianna also tilted her head in imitation.

It was like a mirror, Ilvalino thought.
Even though they were different in size and hair length, they looked exactly alike in this way.

Maybe it was because Cain always looked so gentle when he was with Dianna.

“That’s right.
Let’s make a secret base!”

“A secret base? That’s great! Is it a secret?”

“It’s a secret!”

Cain stood up, took Dianna in his arms, lifted her off the couch, and walked hand in hand around the room.

He and Dianna brought a chair from the study desk and placed it a short distance from the bed, with a book on the seat to weigh it down.

Then they pulled out the waistband from the gown in the closet and tied the two ends to the post that supported the canopy of the bed and the back of the chair, then covered it with a sheet to make a kind of simple tent.

Next, they turned over the small basket Cain was using as a wastebasket and placed it in the middle, then spread out a large handkerchief and placed it on top.

When they hung a small lantern in the middle of the waistband, the chair seemed to collapse under the weight, so we added more books to the seat.

 

In about an hour, a secret base made of sheet tents was completed.

There were candies on the table in the wastebasket, and the lantern-lit room was filled with stuffed animals that Dianna had brought with her, books that Ilvalino was reading, and Cain’s embroidery tools.

 

“It’s such a small space~ so if I don’t stick to Dianna, I’ll stick out~.”

 

Cain said while hugging Dianna.

 

“If you stick out, you’ll be found!”

 

She hugged the stuffed animal tightly.

 

“It’s too dark to read…”

 

frowned Ilvareno as he tried to read a book.

 

It’s a secret base, so we can eat snacks even if it’s not snack time.
And since it’s a secret base, let’s talk about something secret.
Or, It’s a secret base, so let’s hide our treasures! And so on.

 

The three of them chatted in their little tents in hushed voices until they were called for lunch.

 

When lunch was over and they returned to the room, the maid had cleaned up the secret base and there was no trace of it.

 

Ah, dream flies by quickly, Ilvalino thought.
