I quickly welcomed the carriage that I knew so well--it was the carriage containing my parents and my little siblings.
Today was such a special day that I felt so compelled to jump to the front door to welcome them.
"Haha, Lyra, slow down. Let's come inside first and we will tell you how's today," Mom chuckled looking at my impatience.
"Now now, Lyra. For some reason, I feel like you're becoming more child-like after you've become a big sister instead of becoming more mature, haha. But I guess for Lyra's case, it's different... In a good way," Dad said as he suddenly s.n.a.t.c.hed me from the ground--I suddenly found myself being carried in his arms!
I looked at the others' reactions and when I locked eyes with the twins... I felt so embarra.s.sed I turned my head around and buried it in my dad's embrace!!
"Daddy, put me down!" I said with a pleading voice. It's said that for an overdoting parent like my dad, this kind of "cute daughter pleading" act will make it possible for him to do what I ask for!
But I could feel slightly hot in my face.
I-I... Am I blus.h.i.+ng?!
Must be the embarra.s.sment for being treated like this in front of my little siblings...!
"Well, you're right, Cyan. For our Lyra, this is categorized as an improvement, I guess? At least to us, it is," Mom happily smiled in response to Dad's words just now...
Eh wait, what did Dad say just now?!
"What is it?" I quickly turned around again to look at Mom. However, she didn't give me any clue and only smiled meaningfully.
"Haha, don't mind it too much, Lyra. Now, now, let's go inside," Dad said as he prepared to step forward with me still in his arms.
At that time, I noticed Freyr and Freyja's intense stare at me and Dad.
Luckily, being a spy, Dad also noticed the twins' stare and...
"W-what's the matter?" He somehow became nervous and asked the twins.
It couldn't be helped, after all the twins had this stare that could guilt-trip you into something you weren't even sure of... Although their stare was calm...
"Carry me, too!" Freyja raised her hands up.
"...," Freyr didn't make any sound but he raised his hands as well.
"Uhm... That's...," Dad was at a loss of words.
Nice, Freyr and Freyja! Now I will be free from this embarra.s.sing position, being stared at by my younger siblings from below...
"It's big sister's turn now, she's rarely being held like this, remember? Can you two wait for your turns later?" Mom unexpectedly came up with a nice answer!
"Oh... Right," Freyja didn't insist and lowered her hands obediently.
Meanwhile, Freyr nodded.
E-eeeh?! I have to bear with this embarra.s.sment for a longer time?
Just as I felt my face growing hotter and becoming weirder again, I looked up and saw my Dad smiling so happily. Then, there was Mom who smiled happily as well.
T-this... I-it can't be helped, then! I'll just bear with it for now! It's not like... It's not like I feel it's so nice being like this... Okay?
I resigned my fate completely in my father's arms as I rested my head against his chest.
Hmm... I can hear his heartbeat and it feels warm being like this... Makes me feel safe and secure.
At that time, I didn't realize that Dad and Mom smiled even more looking at my simple gesture.
Fortunately for me, before Alt-nii and the others saw me like this and before I died out of embarra.s.sment, Dad let me down.
It felt as if Dad understood me so well and didn't tease me more than this already... Or was it just my imagination? Did I overestimate Dad or was he really this thoughtful person? If it was the latter, then no wonder Mom fell for him!
I hope that I can find someone who's like Dad to my mom in the future--not the overdoting parent part, but I mean, the way he's kind, gentle, and thoughtful to his beloved ones while still being able to do his duty really well and maintain the image of a respectable duke.
I wonder just who is destined to be with me, though?
Screw that, I'm still 10 years old anyway~
After we all gathered, it was time to unfold the twins' magic test results and their weapons of choice!
As it would be troublesome for us to distribute the paper or to gather over two small pieces of papers, Mom decided to use her magic to make a floating holographic copy of the papers. This way, we could see the content of the papers with ease. Perhaps it was akin to seeing a cinema? Ah, the higher-ups probably used this kind of magic or similar technologies for their meetings.
With that being said, itadakimasu--I mean, thanks for the reading ease~!
I looked at the two's results and read them over carefully.

If I were to judge... Their results were actually nice! As expected of the Hartmann family's descendants~ it still ran in their--correction, in our blood.
"Good!" I quickly turned to look at the twins who--ah, I could tell from their gestures! They were waiting in antic.i.p.ation to our reactions.
"Nice results there~," Alt-nii casually commented.
"Rururu~," Rurune also gave her approval.
The twins' faces immediately lightened up. They were happy that we praised their results~! They were really children, haha!
But wait, even I would still feel happy getting praised!
I guess one would naturally be happy when praised, right?
"With their magic capabilities known like this, it will be easier to train them even more, right?" Alt-nii s.h.i.+fted his gaze to Mom.
Mom nodded and answered, "Of course. Now that you mention it, do you two want to have an increase in the magic training? Make it more intense?
Mom turned to look at the twins who eagerly nodded. She giggled at their responses and patted their heads, "Prepare yourselves, then."
I tilted my head in confusion.
After all, I didn't remember getting this kind of question from Mom. The training's difficulty was certainly increasing as per the norm, but as for the intense... Did that refer to the time spent? If so, I only remembered having the additional swordsmans.h.i.+p training.
Which brought me the question of the twins' chosen weapons.
"Ah right, what about their weapons of choice--"
Before I could finish my sentence, I felt Freyr's hand tugging my clothes. As I turned my gaze to Freyr and Freyja who was beside him, I saw Freyja's very curious eyes.
"What about Alt-nii, Lyrnee, and the others' magic capabilities?" Freyja asked.
And so, it turned so silent all of a sudden.
Perhaps we were all thinking of the same thing. We didn't have the heart to let the twins compare and be disappointed.
I was sweating bullets because I didn't want compet.i.tion among us ruin everything. Like, jealousy or such. As a person who had a first-hand experience in that--jealousy towards my little brother--I felt uncomfortable.
Even if my head was trying to tell me that it was going to be all right with this family, my heart was still quite anxious about the possibility (although it should be least likely).
Mom heaved a sigh and she opened her mouth with a look of determination in her eyes.
"Okay then, let's reveal the whole family's magic capabilities, shall we?"
I quickly looked at her in surprise.
Mom only smiled meaningfully and with a snap of her fingers, our magic capabilities were displayed alongside the twins'.
"How?!" I reflexively gasped.
Mom smiled and proudly answered, "I scanned it with my magic. It's actually possible to use this instead of magic test using the device, but it's quite strenous and... Wouldn't it take the excitement of the magic test if I were to do it this way? You wouldn't be able to get the printed results to save, too."
Well... I could argue that she could write it or use magic to write it, but that would be inefficient, I guess.
And so, all of us stared at the results.

"...," The twins were looking up at our results for a while before they finally lowered their gazes in silent.
