Lumine and Amber sat on the sofa, occasionally glancing at each other, but neither spoke.
A moment later, Eula was the first to walk over; of course, she was already fully dressed.
Eula hesitated as she looked at the two, then found a random spot to sit down, also without speaking.
However, the blush on her cheeks was still obvious, indicating that her mood was not calm at the moment.
"I, I'm sorry… we didn't know you…" Amber recalled the scene from just now, her cheeks also red.
It was clear that the two of them had a wild time last night; various clothes were scattered in different places in the room, and the quilt had long been thrown aside.
Not only were their bodies completely exposed, but they even… *cough*, can't say, in short, their positions were really bad.
Lumine and Amber had actually woken up the moment they pushed the door open, but due to the night of madness, they had no energy left to adjust their body positions.
They couldn't even simply cover themselves.
"…" Eula turned her head to look out the window, not knowing what to say, and could only remain silent.
The atmosphere became a bit awkward again; at this time, Stelle was still cleaning up the mess and hadn't come out.
The three of them didn't know what to talk about for a while.
"Um, hello Miss Eula, I'm Lumine." Lumine finally couldn't stand the atmosphere anymore and was the first to speak to Eula.
It was her first time meeting Eula, although it was in such a way…
"I've heard of you, Honorary Knight." Eula slowly sighed and turned to look at Lumine.
"You and Stelle came to Mondstadt together, right?"
"Mm." Lumine nodded, sizing Eula up and down.
She probably knew what kind of Damselette Stelle was interested in; she seemed to be a bit lacking in that aspect…
"Even if you are the hero who resolved the Dragon Disaster crisis, but… this, this grudge, I've noted it down!" Eula no longer met Lumine's gaze, averting her eyes, the blush on her face becoming even more pronounced.
If it were just Amber, she wouldn't have cared; Amber was one of her few good friends, a childhood sweetheart who grew up with her, so no matter how awkward it was, she wasn't an outsider.
But Lumine was different; today was her first time meeting Lumine, and before this, she had only heard of her name at most.
To meet for the first time and have her see herself and Stelle…
Anyway, Eula was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do; if she could, she really wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
"Uh, grudge?" Lumine was slightly startled, not expecting this Damselette to have such a personality.
"Haha, um, Lumine, don't mind her, Eula just has that way of speaking." Amber quickly said to Lumine, afraid that she would misunderstand.
After all, even Eula had already been taken by Stelle; in a sense, they were still family, so it was best not to have misunderstandings or quarrels.
Lumine nodded; she could, of course, distinguish whether someone was speaking sincerely, and the so-called 'grudge' was probably just a catchphrase.
And just then, Stelle finally arrived belatedly.
"…Um, Amber, the bedsheets and such, I think it's better to just replace them." Stelle said to Amber, a bit embarrassed.
Looking at the three people in front of her, Stelle only felt a headache.
Yesterday was truly too impulsive, too irrational.
She actually forgot Acting Grand Master Jean's entrustment and didn't clearly explain her relationship with the others to Eula beforehand.
"Eh? Can't they be washed?" Amber asked, a bit confused.
"Hmm… I, I made a few holes in them." Stelle was also very embarrassed mentioning this.
She played too wildly yesterday, and the bedsheets would occasionally get tangled around her, making it very troublesome, so Stelle subconsciously just tore them open.
In short, they probably couldn't be used anymore.
"Ah, I, I see, it's fine, just throw them away." Amber scratched her head, subconsciously glancing at Eula.
"Why are you looking at me? I didn't do it," Eula said, her face flushed.
"Um, Eula, I'm sorry, there's something I need to tell you," Stelle said, looking at Eula, feeling a bit conflicted.
Although it wasn't the first time, and she knew Eula's choice, she still felt like she was... such a scoundrel.
"You haven't told her yet?" Amber immediately understood what Stelle was going to say and looked at her with some surprise.
"Uh, well, Eula got drunk last night..." Stelle's explanation was a bit weak.
After all, Eula was very sober in the latter half of the night.
But at that time, the two of them, immersed in pleasure, had no time to talk about anything else.
"What you want to say... could it be what you promised me before?" Eula frowned slightly, then recalled.
When she had asked Stelle, Stelle said she needed to find a quiet, private place to talk.
But there had been no such opportunity until now.
"Uh, actually..."
-----
"What?!" Eula's surprise was natural.
After all, not just Amber, not just the Traveler in front of her, but even Acting Grand Master Jean and Barbara, and even Rosaria, were...
"No, could it be that day...?" Eula suddenly recalled.
That day, she saw that 'hair' from Acting Grand Master Jean on Stelle's wrist.
Now that she thought about it carefully, given its length and curve, it shouldn't have been hair at all.
"That day, you weren't with Acting Grand Master in the office, were you...?" Eula suddenly straightened up and questioned Stelle.
"Uh, um, because Jean is always working overtime and never rests, she asked me to help her relax," Stelle said, guiltily averting her gaze.
This was also true; with her around, Jean's mental state had noticeably improved, and she even heard from other Knights later that Acting Grand Master Jean had been full of vigor recently.
"Relax?" Eula couldn't help but recall last night. Indeed, that comfortable, melting sensation.
It seemed perfectly fine for relaxing the body.
"Then, between me and Acting Grand Master, who is more comfortable?" Eula asked, as if possessed, a question she shouldn't have asked.
"...Huh?" Stelle immediately broke into a cold sweat. "You-Eula, what did you say?"
"Between me and Acting Grand Master, who is more comfortable?" Sticking to the idea that since it was already said, Eula continued to ask, her face flushed.
Normally, she always compared herself to the eldest daughter of the Gunnhildr family, so much so that even in this matter, she instinctively questioned Stelle.
But since the words were out, she might as well look forward to Stelle's answer.
Lumine and Amber also looked at Stelle.
Since they weren't of that body type, they didn't need to participate in such a comparison.
However, they were also very curious about Stelle's answer.
The gazes of the three made Stelle sweat profusely.
What was the difference between this question and the trolley problem?
"I, I think everyone is different, there's no distinction of superiority or inferiority..." Stelle slowly began, enduring the pressure.
"You are all my wings, each of you is unique, and I love you all!"
