Ice Cream with Theodore-oniisama
“Theodore-oniisama, I want to try eating cold ice cream.”
What she was stroking was one of the picture books that Theodore had brought from Heyerdahl’s castle. It was a story about a girl making ice cream, chosen by the nursemaid as suitable for reading to a little girl.
It’s a food that can’t be reproduced in the warm climate of Maclouge.
“Has Theodore-oniisama ever eaten it?”
“Yes, of course. All children born in Heyerdahl know about it.”
“That’s nice. . .”
Chloe was staring at the picture book with a dreamy look, her small hand on her cheek. Her profile was so cute that Theodore couldn’t help but want to stroke her head――he immediately stopped the hand he was about to raise.
That’s not good. Even though she’s like a sister to him, she’s a proper Marquis’ daughter.
Instead of stroking her, Theodore looked at Chloe’s face and made a proposal.
“Come to Heyerdahl someday. Let’s eat lots of sweet ice cream.”
Chloe’s face lit up with joy. But soon, she looked troubled.
“I want to eat it. . . But my mother might say no. Because it causes cavities.”
“It’s okay. I’ll persuade her when we eat it in Heyerdahl.”
“Really? . . . Is that okay?”
“Yes, it’s a promise.”
“Promise!”
When Theodore held out his little finger, Chloe happily held out hers.
Heyerdahl is gradually getting more and more information about the worsening relations with the neighboring country. For Theodore, who is spending his days studying hard as the eldest son of the Margrave in such a situation, the innocent Chloe was simply a relief to his heart.
“I’m also looking forward to eating ice cream with Chloe.”
――And then many years passed. The first winter came when Chloe came to Heyerdahl.
Now, Theodore was finally preparing ice cream in front of Chloe.
“This is. . . ice cream. . .”
Chloe, who had grown into a beautiful young lady, was looking at the ice cream with the same happy expression as before. Theodore was watching her with deep emotion.
“May I have some?”
“It’s for you. Don’t hesitate.”
“It’s like a dream. . . Then.”
Saying “Itadakimasu,” Chloe gently scooped it up with a spoon and put it in her mouth. With her emerald eyes wide open and her hand at her mouth, Chloe looked at Theodore and nodded slightly.
Just by looking at her expression, it was clear what she was thinking.
“It’s delicious, Theodore-sama. . .”
“I see, I’m glad.”
Theodore also smiled with relief. He had been nervous about whether he could live up to the expectations that Chloe had had since she was a child.
“I’m glad I was finally able to keep my promise.”
“Yes. . . Theodore-oniisama, it’s delicious.”
Huh? He thought.
Chloe seemed unaware, and was busily carrying the white ice cream to her mouth little by little.
Well, it’s okay, he thought, watching her. Suddenly, Chloe turned bright red――apparently, she had realized it belatedly.
“Um. . . Theodore-sama. . .”
“Have you stopped calling me onii-sama?”
When he tried to tease her a little, Chloe covered her mouth and blushed up to her ears.
“Oh. . . I just got carried away with the feelings from when I was little. . . Ah, I’m sorry.”
Seeing Chloe covering her face and turning bright red, he felt a ticklish yet endearing sensation.
Chloe, who usually maintains her composed demeanor, is so adorable when she slips up.
“It’s okay. I liked being called that way too. Do you want to go back to calling me [onii-sama]?”
“I won’t go back, because Theodore-sama is not my big brother, and that. . .”
“hahaha, I’m just kidding.”
Thinking that she must have been so happy and delighted to do something out of character, Theodore also felt happy.
Gradually, it became funny, and the two of us giggled together.
