"What's wrong?" All five of them stared at a single point without moving, their cheeks flushed red. "Hey, what's the matter?" A hand landed on Diamela's shoulder, and as she turned around, she was startled to see the male Gerbera standing there. "Wha-!" "Diamela, gods shouldn't lie. Hey everyone, I'm Diamela's lover. Nice to meet you." The male Gerbera leaned towards the mirror as he spoke, and the priests' mouths hung open, their faces turning bright red. "Hey, don't just come in here uninvited!" "Introduce me to your priests as your lover, won't you?" "No way!" "Um... excuse me... who might you be?" one of the priests asked. "I'm Gerbera. Usually, I'm female, but I'm specially male right now." Diamela tried to stop him, but Gerbera continued speaking on his own. "Eh? Lord Gerbera!? You can become male too!?" "Not usually, though." "...How wonderful..." "Thank you. You all are cute too." "Kyaa!" The priests were acting like young girls. "Hey, that's enough. Don't mess with humans." "How long have you been lovers?" A priest asked. "I wonder when it started. I've liked Diamela since the last time I became male, though." "Hey, stop that!" "Oh, Lady Diamela, you should have told us you had such a wonderful lover!" "We had no idea at all!" The priests were grinning as they spoke. "This man isn't just mine. He has plenty of lovers. So please don't spread such stories." "What are your names?" "Oh, our names are..." "Listen to what I'm saying!" The priests weren't paying any attention to Diamela at all. "Anyway, keep the identity of my male partner a secret, okay?" Diamela pushed Gerbera away from the mirror as she spoke. "But that will only lead to strange rumors spreading. It's fine if I'm known as your lover, isn't it?" When Gerbera said this, the priests nodded in agreement. "You two make such a lovely couple." "I wish I could paint a picture of you both." "It's simply breathtaking~" "You think so?" Gerbera was embracing Diamela, causing the priests to squeal with delight. "W-wait, goodbye for now!" Diamela closed the mirror connection. "What do you think you're doing in front of humans?!" Diamela was furious, her face bright red. "You're cute when you're angry too." "Why did you come here in the first place?" "I was looking for you. I was worried about how you were feeling." "If that's the case, you should have looked for me yesterday. A whole day has passed." The two had become close the night before last. "I was busy yesterday and today. I thought you'd be fine with Ashlan around." "This man..." Diamela left the communication room with a strained expression. "By the way, let's celebrate the birth of the children by getting along." Gerbera placed his hand on Diamela's shoulder. "Huh? After sleeping with all those other women, you're still not satisfied?!" "But I only have a little time left like this. Let's go to your temple." "What's with this guy?" Despite her complaints, Diamela allowed herself to be led away by Gerbera.
