"Ray, thank you again."
"No, I look forward to seeing you, Master.Now if you'll excuse me. "
Thank you.
Master came to the academy.Now I think it's a very strange feeling.In the past, we were in the same unit.After the Far East battle, I got what I needed and lost what I needed.
The more I didn't know where I was going, the more my heart and body were hurt.
It's like an instant and a long time.I remember the past.I hear the story that life seems long and short, but is that the feeling?
Ten years have passed since I met my masters.Speaking of ten years, it's been quite a while, but for me now, it feels very short.
Then I said goodbye to the masters and went back to the dorm room by myself.
"... I haven't seen you in a while."
Murmur with a slug.
New days are coming again.This year was a truly fulfilling one.Sometimes I was worried about enrolling in the sorcery academy.But I was able to meet an irreplaceable companion.
A man can never live on his own.
I was taught the obvious again by my friends.My mentors are also very grateful to the adults.And I'm grateful to everyone I met at the academy.I'm sure I couldn't do anything by myself.
There was someone I wanted to tell you about my experience at the academy.It's too late today, but the third semester will begin tomorrow.If I were to go, I would have to go now.
When I get back to my room in a hurry, I get ready and leave.
"Evie, I'm coming out a little."
"Hey, Ray. The curfew... no, I'll make a fool of you.Go on. "
"Thanks."
Evie didn't ask for details.I wonder if you can tell from my atmosphere.I have a really good friend.
Get out of the academy.The time is not so late that the street lights are still on.The first place to go was the flower shop.I thought I might be on time now, so I ran and was on time.
I bought several pure white flowers there.Take it... to the cemetery.
Yes. Howard was the one I wanted to see right now.
I've only been to Howard's tomb once since the Far East.From there, I was afraid to face my past, so I couldn't go.
But now that I'm okay, I'm heading to Howard's grave.
Walking to Howard's tomb about the cemetery, he broke in with a man.I will bow my head politely because I will be pardoned.He had long maroon hair tied back and was weaving a black long coat.
Sometimes at night, I didn't see my face well, but I felt like I had met him somewhere... maybe it was my fault.
And finally, I came before Howard's grave.The first thing I tried to do was put down the flower I brought, and there was already a new flower there.I don't suppose that's the flower that the other person left behind?
Decorate it with white flowers overlapping it.
"Howard, I'm sorry I said I'd come back regularly.It took me a long time to get here again..... "
I haven't been to this place in about four years.It was often cloudy these last night, but it was clear today.I speak to Howard as the moonlight illuminates me.
"I'm a student now.I became a first-year student at Arnold Magic Academy.Can you imagine? I didn't know I was a student... and I didn't deserve to be a student... because I lost so many lives in the war. "
Why is that?
I could speak of my weakness more naturally than usual in front of Howard.
"My time in the Special Selection Unit, Astral, was incredible.Everyone was an important companion.Of course, I still feel the same way.I've been wandering around ever since.I don't know where I'm going with the blood.I didn't know it myself.That's when my master told me to go to Arnold Magic Academy. "
Howard may be pleased.No, I'm sure Howard would congratulate me on my new journey.Because he was really a companion.
"At first, I couldn't adapt to the people around me.I didn't know what a normal student was.Again, I think it was floating.For me, the ordinary world was a remote place.But... there were a lot of people who accepted me like that.Seniors who do very well to friends of the same age. "
Each and every one of them, I'll introduce you to the people I've met.I want to know what kind of person you are and how important you are to me.
The hearts and minds that touched each other.
I told Howard that I could learn something important that I couldn't learn on the battlefield.
"Howard, maybe I was building a wall on my own.I don't deserve a decent life like this.I may have abandoned myself, but I had friends at the academy and thought about it again.I understand the importance of my friends because I met everyone in the Special Selection Unit "Astral".Howard always taught me a lot.Ah, the muscle tread is also continuing properly.Then ─ ─ "
I told him a lot of things, trying to fill four years of gap between me and Howard.If he's in front of me, he must laugh.
Hey, Howard.
I was finally able to move on.
I was hurt a lot, I cried a lot, I regretted a lot.
There is no reason to live. I must have thought it was despair.
I thought it was a sin to take someone's life in a life without a reason.But still, I feel like I can face my sins thanks to people around me.What should I do when I keep taking my life?
I think I also found the answer.
"Mr. Flor and the Colonel are married.The wedding was amazing. I wish I could get married like that someday, it was a great ceremony.But the funny thing is, Colonel Flor's ass is stuck to it.Also, let's talk about purchasing. "
Now I'm going to talk about the Special Selection Unit Astral.Howard will care about everyone's movements.
"Delk... seems to have been able to face Evie a little bit.Actually, now I live in the same dorm as Delk's son.You don't know what's gonna happen to your life, do you?
A slight smile came to mind.
And finally, I decided to talk about the masters.
"Master, Abby, Carol quit the army.Abby is the dean, and Carol is mine.Well... Carol is as noisy as usual, but he's a good guy.Sometimes they attack me.It seems that Master will come to the academy next year.Abby... I think I'm still thinking about Howard.Hey, what did Howard think of Abby?I still don't know much about love.I wanted Howard to tell me about it. "
I think I made everything I said into words.
I looked up at the sky.
The stars were sparkling.I couldn't afford to enjoy the starry sky in the old days.I didn't have time to understand the beauty of the world.
But now, I feel like I understand a little bit.
"I'll be back. This time, yes... soon.I'll see you later. "
Return the heel.
And that moment. I felt a slight weight on my shoulders.Tong, I felt like someone gently tapped me on the shoulder.
Looking back.
There's no one there.There was nobody, but I felt like I felt a sign of someone.
Perhaps Howard is congratulating me.
"... okay"
Move on.
It's three semesters from tomorrow.When that's over, a short spring break will come and I'll finally be a sophomore.When I was a sophomore, I heard that Stella, Maria and Princess Olivia would be enrolled.
With my thoughts on a new day, I left Howard behind.
I wasn't lost anymore ─ ─.
