Different worlds of the last heaven and knights of the fist.

On that day, I had a visit from my mother.

In addition to the thanks I always take care of, I thought of preparing tea for the doctor, rather than leaving it to Wefosh occasionally.

Meltina is also visiting faraway places.Lenore thought to surprise the two of them by making a nice cup of tea.

When I put cups and pots on the tray and went near the reception room.

"How is Lord Lenin?"

"Yes, it's calming down.For now..... "

The voice of Meltina and the doctor comes from inside.It was Lenore who tried to enter the room as it was.

"But... how did you explain this to Miss Lenore..."

My feet stopped as if they were stitched.

"Are you sure? What was that about?"

"Yes... I was convinced at this visit.Perhaps even Lenin-sensei didn't notice.... "

Unexpectedly, concentrate on your ears.

"Lenore is demodulating clearly while Miss Lenore is away from work, etc.But when your daughter returns, she becomes unstable. "

"You're better off without Len, right?... I've heard from Lord Lenin, too.He once felt jealous of his daughter's age.He said he made a deal with himself... but I guess the spiritual part isn't that easy... "

Oh, and Lenore was convinced.

I never dropped the tray I had in my hand, like it was a play.

--That's why Mel recommended me to study abroad.

It would be better for Mother if I wasn't here.

Then... you don't have to get lost.

That's right. One day, as Mertina told me, it's Lenore's mother's job to be happy."Something you have to do."

If she's gone and her mother recovers, she won't be happy. That's all.

Ah... will my mother recover completely if she disappears from this world?

However, suicide is forbidden by Cuarenae.No matter how much it is for my mother, I can never break this doctrine.If she does so, her mother will not be spared the libel of a heretical parent.

So....

As if the wings had grown, Lenore entered the docking room.

"Les, Miss Lenore...!?"

"... Len"

Meltina calmed down with a climbing doctor.

"... Mel, I'm going to Middle College."

"... yeah"

Coming slowly, Mertina takes the handkerchief out of the dress sac.

That's funny.

It feels so refreshing and lost... I wonder why Mel would take that out.

"... I... I... want my mother to be happy...!"

"Yeah."

The tears were constantly overflowing from Lenore's eyes.Mertina gently removed her glasses and wiped them away.

"That's why... that's why I...! Uu, ahh... uhhhhhh...!"

I wonder why.

I was just sad when I was supposed to get lost.

The day you leave for Raindeer.

Lenin, who came to the front door to drop her off, presented it with a magical look.

Lenore, take this.

"... Mother... this is..."

It was a hand-knitted amulet.

"Now you don't have to hide it. I'll be honest."

My mother Lenin's eyes were more serious than I've ever seen before.

"As I told you before, I remembered envy you as one of the chanters, Mage.I was retired from active duty and I thought I had swallowed everything inside me... but I still feel that ugly feeling inside me. "

Put your hands on your chest.

"In retrospect, that's been the case for a long time.I've been trapped in such feelings since I was a girl.It sounded good to call it being shy, but there was something like being proud of being twice as big.I want to be the most. I want to be better than anyone else.Such a desire. Something too ugly to call self-esteem that doesn't fit your height...... even at this age, I still resent being tied to something like that. "

"... Mother..."

"Certainly, that kind of business hasn't disappeared yet.Not just you, seeing Mertina can be a dark shadow on your mind.I wonder how far I've come.... but... "

Take a breath. Put aside, my mother looked her daughter in the eye.

"Lenore, I love you.This is also true feeling.I want to throw away this body, which is in better shape without you...!But I... even myself, why are you doing this...?! "

"... Mother, dear"

"If it were you, it might be a mother who wants to abandon her.But... I want you to listen to me.Come back for your vacation.Show me that face and reassure me.I can't help but tell you that my body is getting sick.That's why... that's why...! "

"... Mother.... I promise.... I'll be right back.... if you'll excuse me... "

"There's no way I won't forgive you...! You're my... important, only daughter...!"

"... ah, Mother..."

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry, Lenore...! I'm sorry for being such a mother...."

Exit the Mansion grounds and take the carriage stand.

Meltina and I came from the inn to see you off, and we wait for the carriage.

"Len, I'm sorry I didn't tell you the truth about your study abroad.But it's also true that I wanted you to raise your awareness by going to college.And I wanted you to make friends. "

"... yeah"

While nodding, Lenore said.

"... I made more friends than Mel."

"Well, isn't that okay?That's good, yeah, that's right. "

"... yes"

Mertina made a smile and slapped Lenore on the shoulder.

"Well, apart from whether you can make friends better than me... I'm sure you'll get something important with this study abroad.I can't help but guess. Rest assured. "

― ― And in the distant exotic lands visited.

"Why did you come to this college?"

It was a beautiful girl who woke up.

Light icy "Ice Blue" eyes, long blue hair.Because of its appearance, it is overflowing with its high quality.It might look a little like Mertina.If she were pure white, this girl would be a bright blue herd.

... I was talked to.I have to return something.

However, I have become addicted to completely passive speech.This happened in front of my mother and Meltina, and nothing will happen now.When I think about it, I rarely speak properly with a child of my age.

I can't help talking about various complicated situations.

Yes, just tell me one of the reasons you've been thinking about it -

"... I wanted to go to school."
