- That day, I became an apprentice to the King's family of chefs.

"Congratulations, Laura. Pass without complaint!

“ Round glasses on the bossy head, the same as two years ago. The person - Mr. Caspel said to me by letting his voice play.

Two years after that. I'm 14 years old. And I took the Wang formula apprenticeship exam - just now, I was told I had passed.

"Oh, thank you......!

"You must be a genius! I've never seen a full score before."

“ Mr. Kaspel says as I wave the healing pills I made in my practical exams at hand.

“ Over the past two years, I have encouraged further study. As a result, my brain is no longer the Great Dictionary of Herbs, and even a single cook can perform the painstakingly complicated formulations. At the end of the day, I received the best compliment to my master, "I have nothing more to teach you."

“ So honestly, I was confident about the exam. But when I was told to pass, I was so happy that I was about to jump up.

“ I got one step closer to my goal. No, it's not a step away. I'm going to be able to reach my goal in a little while.

"Master, I took it!

"I heard it. Congratulations, Laura."

"I'm going to report to my parents and Luca!

“ I said no to the master who asked me the results with him, then I ran out. Running through the garden to a remote tower waiting for Arnold two years ago.

If I passed, my parents and Lukersch came with me because I didn't have time to go back to Emme's village to live in the royal castle the next day. On my way to the exam, my parents looked bluer than I did and Lukersch dropped me off with a more confident look than I did.

“ Open the door away. I found a familiar gold crest in my eyes pointed at me all at once.

"Father, Mother, Luca! Got it!

“ Run over to your parents and hold them as they are. My parents are probably surprised. I was free for a few seconds, and then I was hugged as painfully as I could.

"Congratulations!"

"You are our proud daughter, I really congratulate you"

“ The voices whispered in both ears were both trembling.

My father and mother supported me in my dream without asking me why. "If Laura wants that," she gave me all the support she could. For the inability to be a direct filial filial in Emme's village, I want to be a conditioner and make good money and let you live a little better.

“ Loosen your hugging arms and stare firmly at each other. I kind of freaked out by my eyes that were still sobbing and laughed out loud. Perhaps my feelings are exalted.

― ― Two, I had eyes with Lukersch over my parents' shoulders.

“ Lukersch is well on the way to the shadow of the brave man I know. Compared to two years ago, the contours and other rounds have been sharpened a lot, and the eyes look cool. Instead of the adjective cute, the adjective beautiful and cool was becoming suitable.

Lukersch smiles gently when his gaze is tangled with mine. Is it my fault that those eyes seem to miss me somewhere?

"Congratulations, Laura"

"... you wish you had fallen?

“ The voice-changing is completely over. His height had grown steadily and his gaze was completely out of alignment.

"No way you think that.... until about 3 years ago I thought that"

“ That being said, it sounds a little obstinate. The tone also became a bit boyish.

“ I grinned bitterly, but hugged Lukersch. Then he hugs me back gently, too. This much skinship was normal between us childhood friends.

“ At first, the power of a gentle embrace grows stronger and stronger. I was hugged trying to hold it all the way into my chest, and my boney lukersch body was just a little, painful. But more than that, Lukersch's temperature is reassuring.

"Congratulations, Laura"

"Thank you, Luca"

“ A gentle, enveloping voice.

As I immersed myself in sentiment that I would not be able to hear this voice for a while, too - a low voice that was not in my memory called me.

"Ampere"

“ That voice that doesn ’ t stand up, but passes quickly. There was one person, per heart, who called me Ampere.

♪ Uncuddling Lukersch, looking back at the entrance, there he was ♪

"Mr. Arnold...?

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

As a change to the eye, what a perfect facial element the eyeglasses are added to. Did I encourage you to study too much? The black half frame, however, further highlights Arnold's appearance. - Quick story, it suited me well.

“ In response to my solitary enquiry, Arnold waves small to respond. Glossy dark hair swayed sarally at that time.

“ For the first time in two years, Arnold had grown up to be such a beautiful young man that he was likely to laugh. It's two above me, so I should be 16 years old. It was too sophisticated for me to look, wear, and haunt the air, and I was going to be convinced when they told me I was past adulthood - adulthood in this world is 18.

“ Arnold calms down around the noise and draws the attention of the people in the waiting room all together. But as the person of the day said he didn't care about anything, he walked over to me in a slow foothold.

"Mr. Caspel is calling. Come quick."

Again, my voice is much lower than it was two years ago. Then it's a pleasant, sweet, pregnant voice. God didn't just give this man the perfect face, he also gave him the perfect vocal cord.

“ Mr. Caspel is calling. In a rush to prepare for the word, I reflexively let my body go from Lukersch - but it grabs my arm a long time. When I looked at Lukersch in surprise, he had a serious eye on Arnold.

"Regards, Laura"

“ With my arms grabbed, Lucas bows his head. So that I could stick around, and I met lightly, too.

"... you're just a kid."

"It's an important childhood tame."

- I remember this air, just like two years ago.

Immediate one-touch air. Again, these two don't fit. I don't know why, but I think it doesn't fit physiologically anymore.

“ I stared down at Lukersch - it wasn ’ t anywhere near, it was Arnold staring sharply,

"Hey."

“ That gaze has shifted to me and hastened me with few words.

I blink in my sharp black eyes for a moment, but quickly return the words.

"Hey, wait a minute!

“ I still leave the two of them alone in a flash and look back at my parents. And as I rushed over, I shook my two hands tightly with both hands.

“ If Arnold takes you to Mr. Caspel, you won ’ t be able to see him for a while.

"Father, Mother. In the meantime, they'll get a continuous rest at the end of the season, so I'll be sure to go home then. And I'll write to you! I'll send it when I find something delicious or something. Be careful with your body! Then, uh, uh..."

“ Every word I can think of is spoken quickly. My parents laughed at my visibly panicked daughter. Its narrowed eyes look stuffed with overflowing love and its vision seeps unexpectedly.

"It's okay. It doesn't mean anything about this life's breakup. Laura is the one who works hard, but takes care of herself more than anything else."

“ My parents ’ hands touch my cheeks. Don't forget the warmth. I lay down my eyelids and groaned, "Thank you."

Unfortunately, I'm leaving my parents. Then Lukersch approached and shook my hand. It was a very powerful force.

"Laura works too hard, I'm worried"

"That's not true. I'll write to Luca, too."

"Yeah. I'll write too"

“ A glittering golden crest. To the brilliance of that crest, I thought of the future a few years later.

“ Me and Lucas are now 14 years old. Less than three years to go before Lukersch becomes a brave man, and just before his seventeenth birthday, Lukersch travels through the village of Emme.

As yet, I don't hear reports that demons have become more powerful. But no doubt, the resurrection of the Demon King is approaching. It is also close at that time when Lukersch will be a brave man.

“ Less than three years spent here. I'm sure it won't be long. It wasn't long before “I" remembered.

"... Luca, take care of yourself"

“ Nature and such words came out with a mouthful of mouth.

♪ To my words, Lukersch,

"Because I remember exactly what Laura told me that day"

♪ He laughs like he sees it all through.

“ Seeing this smile and listening to the kind voice that inspires me won ’ t come true for a while, ” suddenly the loneliness pushed.

"... what the hell, I may have missed you more"

"That's not true. Absolutely miss me more."

“ Two people frown and laugh. And he exchanged embraces again from either side.

“ I get a vacation at the turn of the season. Then let's go back to that Emme village. In my home town with narrow but warm, loved ones.

“ I look at my parents, I look at Lukersch. He smiled alternately and ran out to Arnold to break his thoughts of being pulled behind his hair.

"Thank you for waiting"

“ Arnold does not reply to my words, but walks out.

“ It seems that heartless is the same. No, I rather got more cold and sharp from the look on my face than I did two years ago.

“ It ’ s the third time I ’ ve seen Arnold face to face like this. It won't be less than 10 days in days. As a boy of his generation who aspired to be the same formulator, he felt quite intimate. But that's why I know him well, I don't understand him.

We're going to be living with him all year.

"... waited for grasshoppers"

“ I flaunted my shoulders at the suddenly dropped voice of dissatisfaction.

“ I know Arnold is not a bad person. Mr. Merzedes, his master, said Arnold was just a familiar man. And more importantly, from the verses of its words and deeds, I felt that I adored Arnold. I'm sure Mr. Merzedes knows a lot about Arnold that I don't, and that's why he was so adorable.

“ I also know from what Mr. Merzedes said and from what he has said to me in the past that he would be a good brother to Elvira.

“ He ’ s a good man, perhaps. I just don't have love.

“ Even if we know that, when the gaze and words that can be directed are sharp, we really feel like it.

"Shh, I'm sorry... but time is like that -"

"No, I waited. I slept."

I couldn't understand Arnold's words. "To?" and I get a weird voice. In my pitiful voice, Arnold stopped going forward. And look back.

"Two years is a long time"

Is it an illusion in my eyes that my mouth angle has faintly risen? But surely, the cold air that was entangled loosened.

“ Silence falls. I don't know what to answer.

Two years is a long time.

“ From that word, I guess the earlier words “ waited and slept ” included “ waited and slept for two years until I became a King ’ s chef apprentice ” but “ waited and slept for two years longer for Arnold ”. Sure, two years ago, I was called out to wait for you when you broke up, but you didn't mean you were waiting for me enough to think you were "waiting for me to go to bed"?

“ Honestly, from what I feel, two years is not such a long month. In fact, it wasn't long from the day I broke up with Arnold until today. So as far as I'm concerned, I don't feel like keeping Arnold waiting. In the first place, I didn't even think Arnold was waiting for me that far.

“ But if Arnold spills dissatisfaction with being “ waiting for grass to sleep ”, this boy with high pride could bend his umbilical cord if he doesn ’ t utter some kind of apology. Worried about the words, but managed to say it.

"Uh... sorry to keep you waiting?

― ― Now is definitely the time, Arnold laughed. The eyes over the frame of the glasses were narrowed.

Apparently, he liked my apology.

"Let's go."

“ Line up next to the walked out Arnold. The side of Arnold, which I stole a glimpse of, was by far the softest.

“ Before the two of us walk side by side, the Royal Castle.

- From now on, my days as an apprentice of the King's family of chefs will begin.
