Thanks to Clarice, the tense atmosphere between Sam and Melanie had eased.

The tea party with Clarice then became lively, and she took the lead in the conversation.

At first, Melanie looked bitter at Clarice's friendly attitude toward Sam and Lise, but her expression gradually softened.

Clarice seemed to want an older brother or sister and talked to them excitedly and actively.

She seemed to know about Sam in particular, and she was honestly happy that a famous person was her brother, and she was sniffling when she bragged about it at school.

Time passed quickly as Clarice and I talked a lot, and Sam and I found ourselves getting closer to each other as brother and sister.

It was now late in the evening and it was time to leave the Viscount Teeling's house.

Needless to say, the girl, who had gotten to know her brother and his fiancées so well, expressed her dissatisfaction with Sam and his friends on their way home.

Melanie and Steven are annoyed by Clarice's sulking and puffy cheeks.

Sam succeeded in putting Clarice in a good mood for a bit by promising to see her again.

"Will you come and see me again?"

Sam smiles at the girl who looks up at him and asks, "What are you doing here?

"Of course. But I think I'd like Clarice to come visit me this time.

"Yes! Absolutely!"

Clarice hugs Sam, who hugs Clarice gently.

Still in Sam's arms, the girl accepts the temporary goodbye and waves to Liese and the others.

"See you later, sisters!"

"I'll be waiting for you at home this time. I'll have lots of sweets ready for you, so come anytime.

"Next time, let's play with your body."

"Yes. Tea parties are nice, but I like to play with my body.

"If I get a chance, I will recommend some of my favorite books to you. Please look forward to it.

Lise, Karen, Mizuki, and Alicia greet Clarice.

The girl nodded in agreement to be reunited with her four sisters.

Sam hands the girl in his arms to Viscount Teeling.

"Thank you very much for coming today, Mr. Samuel."

"Viscount Teeling. Please, call me Sam.

That, however...

Clarice is my sister. Then you, her father, are family to me. If it's not too much trouble.

The viscount nodded in response to Sam's words.

"No, I am not a nuisance. Well then, Mr. Sam. Please continue to be a good friend to Clarice.

"Of course."

You are welcome to visit us anytime. You are welcome to call us family.

Thank you very much.

And if I can be of any help to you, please let me know. I promise I will always be at your service, Master Sam.

"--Thank you."

Sam shook Stephen's hand stiffly.

Finally, he turned to Melanie.

Melanie had just finished greeting Liese and the others.

She did not look straight at Sam until the end.

She wonders if she should go home, perhaps because of her guilt.

(It would be easy to leave here, but I don't think that's the right thing to do... ouch!)

Sam had a headache as he wondered what to do.

The next moment he felt the pain, he found himself saying the words out loud.

"I will see you again--Mom."

"-, you call me, you call me your mother?"

(Oh, I see, I didn't call her mother, so I guess the guilt didn't go away. It was my fault.)

I looked at my mother for the first time.

No, no, I think I saw her face.

"If it's not too much trouble, please let me call you mother."

"......, but I'd like you to..."

"Well, please don't call me you. I have a name my mother gave me.

"--Sam."

"Yes."

"Sam!"

Melanie, calling her son's name for the first time, hugged Sam, tears streaming down her face.

Sam, too, embraced his mother's body and felt its warmth.

We will see each other again. Let's talk more about each other this time.

"Yes, yes."

"I'm glad your mother is alive. Please be happy."

In this way, Sam was able to get one step closer to his mother.
