"This is the guest room, isn't it?" Raymond asked while pointing at Alea's room. Eros and Alea nodded quickly. I don't know why they were so nervous when Eros' parents came into his room.

"But it seems like this room is used a lot, huh?" Alea looked at her eyes in surprise, she wanted to talk but she was getting nervous.

"How is it? Al is ready to go home?" asked Eros while crouching in front of Alaric and taking over Alea's work. Alea was a little surprised, because Eros suddenly pulled her hand gently, and motioned to Alea with a smile so that Eros would do it. "Let me do it," he said briefly, Eros' eyes were now shifted to Alaric. "What are you going to do? After you get home."
