I guess that having Vietnam explain some things really helped, hm? You're not wrong...
[ All of that reassurance doesn't stop France from pausing when he notices the pink gracing his companion's cheeks. Ah. Yes. Good. ]

I see. And this must directly mirror the literal history of your homes back in your own world, right? At least, that's how I understood it from Sen.
[ Siegfried's cheeks turn pink. ]
... Very well. Understood, France, my darling.
