"What? Hey, why...?
"Thank you for everything. If you want to give back, this won't be enough."
"Oh, that's not true. It was Lilia who actually worked hard..."
"Besides, will I be reborn? If you use my body, maybe the spirits will be reborn by mistake."
"Well, I don't think that's right..."
Sakura smiled ambiguously, and Lilia shrugged her shoulders that was unfortunate. Lilia continues.
"Besides, I guess my will doesn't really matter. Don't you think I'd rather give it to you and make the rest feel better than give it to you cursing something, saying I don't like it?
"No, but..."
Sakura said, eventually staring softly at Lilia upwards.
"I'll do something about it. Don't take it away."
Lilia heard that.
"You don't have to. Because it doesn't change my feelings anymore."
"So, but..."
"Sakura"
Looking straight at Sakura, Sakura shivers her body with fright, but looks back at her forehead and this one. It's a really frightening look I don't normally see. Just seeing that makes me realize how scared Sakura was of the day Lilia would know.
I guess I've had enough. Because Sakura was taken raw and even endured that darkness of nothing for a long time. Lilia, by contrast, has lived as she pleases so far. If I can be reborn, I suppose I can give my body up to this best friend.
To be honest, I hope I will continue to live with Sakura, but that would be something you shouldn't want.
"I'll give you my body on Promise Day. You'll take it, won't you?
When Lilia said so and smiled, Sakura began to cry, whether she should still say so. He's a real crybaby.
"Please..."
"Stop crying. Totally......"
With that said, I'll stroke Sakura's head. Sakura leaked a whimper over and over again.
"Thanks......"
"You're welcome."
Lilia smiled and ran out of words as she was about to cry.
Lilia woke up in a dim room. Unlike the room I was in till this morning, it's a luxurious room lined with pricey furniture no matter what. Probably a royal castle room. I just wondered why I was in a room like this, and I immediately remembered. I thought you said Sakura was the room the maid showed you. I didn't expect such a room to be available.
If you looked at the view you could see through the window, the sun already seemed to be setting and darkening. I feel like I've wasted my day. No, if I recall well, I've been wasting nearly a week.
- Sakura. Do you know exactly the day of your promise?
When I asked Sakura in my heart, there was an immediate response.
- The day after the next exam, yes.
- You don't have a month.
We have less than a month left, and we must end it without regret. There's something quite harsh about it. I quickly started making plans in my head with that in mind, but I immediately got a stunned look.
- Sakura......
- What?
- A week would be enough.
Luckily, almost everyone I want to say hello to is in the school. The only others are those who belong to Ardis, so even if they are not in the Mansion, they will be somewhere in the King's Capital. No matter how long you quote, a week's greeting will be over.
- Huh? Uh... There's nothing else you want to do? What do you want to eat?
- You want something to eat... Well, once again, I'd like to eat them.
- Yeah. Let's go.
- It won't take all day.
- Er...
Lilia starts to worry about what to do, and Sakura seems to be turning her head around saying this can't be happening. I would like to go for a walk with Sakura and schedule it, but it is still more than half empty.
- Yeah. Let's leave it empty.
To Sakura's words, Lilia tilted her neck.
- Later, I might remind you that I want to do this too.
I see, Lilia nodded. While I do talk to family and friends, I may have more things to do. It wouldn't be a bad idea to keep the rest for that. If it's not buried, it's not a bad idea for the two of us to relax for a few days or so left.
- Tomorrow, let's get ready. You're gonna help me, right?
- Ai Ai.
In response to Sakura's energetic reply, Lilia smiled small.
The next day Lilia was led to the cafeteria by the maid of the castle. There was a long table in the large dining room, with kings and princes sitting in the corners of that table. Seeing that, Lilia was stunned. Because there were two royal families, not. That's what I was asking the maid in advance. Lilia was surprised because there was something floating on its king's side, like a dwarf.
- Sakura, is that...
- Yeah. You're a spirit.
Lilia gets confused when she answers naturally. I've never seen a spirit before. When you wonder what's going on, you are prompted to look up. If you only raised your gaze, there were a lot of things floating on the side of the ceiling that seemed to be spirits, different in size and appearance.
- Duh, why...
- Yeah. I'll explain later, so let's just sit down. The Kings are in trouble.
Lilia came back to me all the time. If you look at the king, you're looking at this one with a bewildered look on your face. Lilia took a small, deep breath and was led by a maid to sit in the seat opposite the prince.
If you look at the prince, he looked at this one with a suspicious frown, too. It's nothing, and Lilia said to the king, shaking her head small.
"Thank you for inviting me, Your Majesty"
"No, good. I don't need to worry about politeness or anything this time. Make it easier."
I was awed, and at the same time Lilia nodded, breakfast was carried.
