Half a month has passed since the incident in Zioras.

An envelope arrived from the Royal Lomerian Magic School to me and Risha, who have been dealers at the casino since then.

If you think of me, if you think of me as Risha, I will impress you with the long-awaited invitation to move on to the next step.

But from now on, we're not just waiting for anything to be happy or fun.

Sometimes I have to say goodbye to my present relationship because of a new encounter.

"Ah...."

I stroked Risha's shaped head with a short voice.

From the city of Cassia to the king's capital of Romeria, there is certainly no choice but to go by carriage for two days.

Risha would never have thought about what it meant until this time today.

According to the materials in the envelope, Romeria Magic School is a dormitory school.

Apart from long holidays like the so-called summer vacation, there are also limited opportunities to come back here.

"I respect Lisa's will. But... yeah, that's why. If you're going to go to school, first you have to thank these people and say goodbye."

I don't think Risha had a purpose until she met me.

The proof is that I didn't try to remember the words more than I needed to.

I don't know what kind of life Risha lived in the Elf Forest.

But there was food and clothing, comfort, and work.

That's why we didn't have to have a purpose other than to live every day.

At the same time, I never imagined breaking up with a member of the Guild Rust Brigade.

The relationship is closer to a normal family connection than a friend or lover.

"... a shame?

Risha nods without saying anything.

Of course, for Risha, this is home and home.

And Mr. Albes and the Guys are just a few things we can call family.

"The logic..."

Then you cut off the words and look at me. [M]

The empty eyes were shaking to reflect Risha's heart pattern.

"What about logic?

"Of course I miss you. But from the beginning, I decided to make this a temporary hotel."

My only goal is to go to school. [M]

And until then, I needed a place to live and a job as a connection.

That may be a bad way to put it, but farewell was divorced from the premise of an encounter.

"Like I said, I think I should do what Risha wants to do. But that's all I'm saying."

Grasp the envelope and take the slightly trembling hand of Risha.

"Once you're tied up, you can't be guided unless you try to cut it. As long as Risha wants to be with everyone, the relationship will continue."

……

From the edge of the closed eyes, Shizukuzuku spreads a twist.

"Besides, we're not never going to see each other again. I can write, I can go home if I have time off."

"I wonder if you'll forgive me like this..."

She went a little crazy and held Lisa's head as she narrowed her eyes.

I stroked the smelly silver hair with my fingertips.

"There's nothing forgiving or attractive about a princess trying to find a purpose and go out into the world. Everyone will cook red rice to celebrate."

"Osekihan...?

Oops, isn't there red rice in this world?

"... Ohn. Anyway, I'm sure everyone will be very happy and celebrate."

Your hands are turned to your back to hold you back.

My arm is thin enough to break if I use my strength.

With this hand, Risha always stood up to protect me. [M]

That's why I want to protect her with everything I can. [M]

"And, look."

Lisha raised her face with her nose red.

She was staring at her clear, empty eyes from close range, and her heart bounced small.

……

Rosie, your face is bright red.

"Come on, it's my fault."

Grab a shoulder and throw it out, and stand up for cover.

Turn your back on Risha and take a deep breath to change your mind.

"Me and Risha are the same mysteries. I mean... um, yeah. There it is."

Is that it?

It's always about Leisha, who has a good instinct.

I can't confirm it because I can't see the expression, but I may already know what I'm trying to say.

But I dare ask back because I want it to be a word.

"Hah...."

Exhale loudly and scratch your head.

"... I'm your family, too. If you miss me, I'll be there."

At the end, it was a voice so small that it almost disappeared.

But that would have been enough for Risha.

I looked up at the ceiling and said that it was going to be a little further for my face to cool down as I felt the warmth on my back.
