I want to protect you in this hand.

I'm Will. One of Meryl's lambs. I've always worked with Cyril and now I'm an adventurer. My sister Mal and Arsh, who came later, live together. Every day is fun.

I think my sister and I were born in a wealthy family. I'm just like Mal, and I've remembered anything since I was a little girl. And I wasn't interested in anything. What they say, I do. If you tell me to talk, I'll talk, and if you tell me to change, I'll change. The same color of hair, eyes, and the wisdom of remembering anything immediately as you did all day were often entertained when you were a little girl. At the same time, I know they called me an "ice doll" because of the spookiness that rarely changed my expression. As much as I was older, I still thought Mal would have to take care of him.

So I learned to laugh. Be nice to people and they'll take care of you. If they take care of it, they can take care of my sister, too. Eventually, Asama died. Even though I remembered to laugh, I didn't remember to cry. But what's sad about that? Every day just goes by, what's the difference where someone is gone.

The old lady said she missed you and made me a new one. That was sweet. He adored Mal, so I was nice to him.

But after you returned to your home country at work, you stopped coming back. They contact me every year. I'll be back next year, so please wait. Until two years, Mama and I could stand it. But it broke in the third year.

I loved you so much that you took care of us without blood connections. I couldn't stand the way we looked because I loved you. One night, in time, he was trapped in a separate building of the mansion, and gradually food tended to lag behind, too, when he was kidnapped. I was supposed to ask for ransom, so I guess I could say I was kidnapped. Two weeks in the carriage. At least, I got a decent meal than I did when I was at the mansion.

"How much do you hate me? I can't believe I let you expose me."

"At least they didn't tell me to kill you."

"By now you're a tragic lady."

"How dare you go out with someone beyond the sea?"

Is that what you mean? Is that a farce?

"Don't feel bad, they're telling you to leave me as far away as you can."

"Merrill is an orphan-friendly city, somehow alive."

That's how I came to Merrill. There's no way we're wearing fancy clothes. But I didn't tell him when he asked me what was going on. What's the point of being back? I was put in an orphan companion, but Mal was the same. Even if I was the only one who worked hard, it didn't work out for me in the kids. I wasn't bullied. I'm not returning any reaction. I'm just saying there's no reason to adore a child.

Mal reacted only slightly to the smallest cello. Cyril is probably, reactive or not, but I don't really care. It was always like holding something in my chest and looking far away. For the first time, I was interested in something called a person because something was missing and I was in a hurry about something. Every day that goes by, could it mean anything? In time, Cyril and Mal and I started living together. Days still pass without anything.

That's when Arsh came.

Cyril's eyes changed. Arsh's dark hair and amber eyes smelled distant. Hey, Cyril, is that what you've been waiting for?

Mal also changed. Soon, the rice was delicious and I looked forward to tomorrow's coming. What's next?

That's how I found it.

Sword. Magic. Power. Before you move your mind, what do you have? Strong, strong, strong.

Before I get stronger, I don't know what I have. That might tell the way for the four of us. Still, I can't take it anymore. But now we're together. Shoulders side by side, forward.
