Concentrate and knock about three times. It's already late at night, and it's unusual for someone to come so late. I have little experience with it. [M] But why?

I had no idea who had come. [M]

"Julia, do you have a moment?

Yeah, that's fine.

It was Shelley who came. Is she taking a bath or is her hair slightly wet? Besides, the good smell of shampoo comes out of my nose. Along with that, it has a woman-specific fragrance, which makes it a little rough.

"I'm going to make some tea now."

"Thank you."

Enter the room and guide her to the table. It seemed like it had been a long time since I talked to Shelley alone. The encounter began when I returned from dusk, and since then the positions of each other have changed dramatically.

It is strange to say that we, who were now just students, are at the top of the class anti-magician class.

"Yes, please."

"Um... I'm sorry. Late at night. And make me some tea."

"Not at all. I've had plenty of time."

"Yes, if you say so, I'd appreciate it."

She smiled slightly. To be honest, there was something strange about Shelley after Bell's death. That's how I feel about paying my revenge even at the cost of my own life. I don't want to deny revenge.

I wish I could avenge Mr. Bell. [M] But it still doesn't reach Shelley's hatred.

Shelley was wearing too much black emotion, but it seems to have calmed down a little lately... I felt that way.

"Well... we're on a mission together this time."

"Yeah."

"Will Julia help us avenge you?

He stares at me with a gaze. The eyes seemed to be shaking slightly.

"... if you're going to fight that magician, I'll give it to Shelley."

"Yes, that's fine."

"Shelley doesn't seem to be swallowed by that hatred."

Huh?

Pocahonta-like expression appeared. That's how I say what I think. [M]

"Until now... I felt like I was about to lose my wits. But right now, I feel like I'm feeding on it and moving on. But it's just my imagination."

……

Shelley said this after seeming complicated.

"... that's right. I don't think I could really see the surroundings when the teacher died. It wasn't strange to be swallowed up by too much murder. But Princess Lianne and Sofia. Besides, I think Julia helped me calm down. Indeed, I still have my vengeance and hatred. But don't let that swallow you, you taught me that."

"Sherry...."

I'm about to cry again. [M] We lost someone dear to each other. It's not just Mr. Bell, it's the same with the other wizards. We are still immature. This mind is not organized either.

But only by moving forward can we succeed in that will.

That being the case, I was struck by her words. [M] That's right, we're going to go together again.

"Julia, again, do you want to continue?

"Yes, of course."

Shake hands.

I'm sure we'll be able to get to this dusk someday. That's what I believe ─ ─.
