From that day I vowed to “see you again" with Rose, I encouraged more than anyone to practice or study the sword. Because I want to be able to protect Rosé.

The next time I saw her, I wanted Rose to see me grow up once and twice. I kept working hard.

I keep sending Rose letters to keep her from forgetting me. I keep sending trivial things like everyday things and finding flowers that look good on Rosé, but Rosé is so sweet that she always gets a reply, and occasionally she gets a small gift along with a letter saying that she looks good on me.

I was already 12 after that exchange. [M] I really wanted to go see Rosé sooner, but I was a little rushed after quite a few years while I wanted to show her that I had grown up and thought "not yet”. But I'm still a little relieved that the letter arrives from her unchanged.

"After a year, Laus went to study in a neighboring country, right? I'm going to learn a lot.

"Yes, brother.

"Since then, Raus has studied and worked out like people have changed. I've been really surprised to see you grow up. Is that because of that girl?

"... yes.

"She seems to be popular with both your father and your mother. If I hadn't caught a cold or something, I'd have talked to you in person.

"... I won't give up any of my brothers.

"Ha, I know. You can't take a kid who likes Raus. You didn't teach her to study abroad, did you? Wouldn't that surprise you?

"Yes, I guess. I'd love to...

"I'm sure you'll be happy. Looking forward to it. A year from now."

Yeah, I'm one of her downstairs, so I can't take classes in the same classroom, but when I think I'm gonna see Rosé again, it makes me nervous.

That was the first time she made me hear my voice, but it was a plunder and a young voice. But now I can't wait to see how she responds to this voice, which has changed her voice and is lower than before, and I'm anxious if she doesn't like it.

Because I grow tall and work out my body every day, I also have light muscles. I wonder what she thinks when she looks at me like that.

Quickly, I want to see her as soon as possible.

"Wait. Rosé..."
