"While..."

Walking alone and bluntly, Maria heads to the venue. If it's true, I don't even want Maria dressed like this.

I would love to be comfortable with this summer boiling like a scorching heat, but being an albino she has no choice but to take action.

And when I arrived at the venue, I tried to get inside as I was... but there was a store that was queued in only one place.

"Whatever... Bye"

Bossly grunting Maria.

But that should be it too.

Can't that matrix just line up in one row, it was swelling up to four columns? Plus, it smells pretty good.

A human being is a strange thing, and I think it's a popular store just because it's queued. Some stores hire Sakura to do that, but all this is on a different scale.

"It was delicious!

"Yeah. And super cute, right?!? Who would have been better?

"I guess I'm a long beauty ~"

"I guess I'm a twin-tailed kid. But my dear kid was super cute too... hey, that's really awesome"

"Yeah, yeah! Let's go again!

and the people you're talking to pass next to Maria.

Look at the little watch wrapped around his left wrist.

"There's still time..."

The seats have already been reserved, so the time itself does not need to take that far forward.

Maria like that makes sure she's attracted and stays in line. Even in this heat, there was a little interest.

I've been to Magics Chevalier many times before, but I've never seen a queue like this.

That's how Maria is lined up, and some floating pair of men talk to Maria.

"Hey, sister, you're cute."

"Yeah, yeah. Why don't we go someplace nice later?

─ ─ Napa again...... ha, really dall wow......

Surely there are those who detract from Maria. But on the contrary, there are naturally those who are attracted to her who look too mysterious.

Originally similar to my sister Rebecca, she has a neat face. That goes hand in hand with this pure white look. I don't even look like an angel. So much so that some of them call her [angel of the three nobles].

Maria like that is strong on the inside, but she is still scared when she is forced to meet a man for the first time like this.

─ ─ Bye, what do I do...

My hand with the sun umbrella trembles.

At times like this, most people around them pretend not to see it. That's because she's been through it, she understands.

"Oh, shah, shah, shah, well."

In the meantime, it was Ray who broke in. No, not Ray now. It was Lily, the billboard daughter of this store.

With that look in her eyes, Maria falls into the sensation of being shot through the heart. She helped herself refreshed, a long beauty.

Of course its appearance is beautiful, but above all I was more than happy to help this way.

And having just a little conversation, Maria asked for her name.

"Ah... Um! May I ask your name... okay?

"Lily = White."

Lily = White.

Of course it's a pseudonym, but Maria immediately remembered the name.

"Ah... Um!

"Yes. What's wrong?

"Oh, may I call you sister?

"Right...... I don't mind. Can I call you Maria, too?

"Ha... yes! Lily, sister......"

I was no longer captive. On top of beauty, people like myself also help. Originally, I didn't see it as a giro when I said it was an albino. It just treats me like everyone else.

That was enough reason for Maria to like Lily.

Maria then found out she was Rebecca's junior. I was originally unwilling to enroll in the Arnold School of Magic because of my inferiority and definitely being compared.

But Maria decided to enroll in the Arnold School of Magic by saying that Lily was here.

That's how Maria, who met her destiny, then made sure to watch Rebecca's game every game. She clenches her fist in the heat as she gives her sun umbrella away from other people's annoyance.

"Come on...... come on, sister!

I had even less chance to meet Rebecca, who had been living in a dorm for several years.

Still, Maria liked her sister. Come home from time to time and just talk a little bit. I liked that time more than anything.

I'm still uncomfortable. Maria, who was nevertheless sorting out her thoughts on Rebecca one by one, wholeheartedly supported Rebecca's work.

And here we are at last, the finals of this match.

The opponent is Lucas-Forst. The most powerful sorcerer of the tournament, Magics Chevalier, was named after this sorcery swordsman competition. I know that Rebecca's defeat is intense, and he has already whispered.

But Maria keeps up her support.

Even Rebecca should be hard. To say so, Maria was really proud of her sister for coming this far. Such a sister was more proud than anyone else.

"Ah..."

Defeat.

Rebecca struggled, but she lost lightly.

"Sister..."

Maria stares at her sister falling from the corner of the venue.

But I have no sympathy.

Only one, clapping secretly, she burned her sister's bravery into her heart.

Then we went on summer vacation and Rebecca came home. Of course, the conversation is minimal. Among other things, Maria was somewhere happy to see her this way for the first time in a long time.

After that, he became extremely busy, including attending parties organized by the Sorcery Society and other nobles.

And the day finally came.

"Your sister is engaged!?

"Yes."

"Father, what do you say!?

"You're right."

"Is your mother true too!?

"Yep... Rebecca got engaged to Evan-Bernstein. Marriage comes after graduation."

"Oh no... that's not too soon!? And how does your sister feel!?

"... Maria. Listen to me. That's what the oldest sons and daughters of the three nobles say."

"So!

"There's nothing more to talk about"

One day, my father and mother, who were there when I was called to the study, had a divine face, just pale to inform me of that decision.

Maria is also at a time of disobedience, but she is no different, even though she is a courtier of the three nobles. That's why we should have been able to accept it.

But... Rebecca has been depressed ever since that sorcery association party. I squeeze my courage, I ask the story, but they tease me. And I notice.

Rebecca was depressed by this.

At the same time, I notice.

─ ─ Something's wrong with your sister being so blatantly depressed. If you're just getting engaged normally, you just have to accept it... how could your sister be like that...

I can tell because I've been with Rebecca since I was a young girl.

I'm sure Rebecca was prepared for the engagement itself. Whoever they are, they must accept it. Even though I say so, I feel like I've been trying so hard to hide my tired face the last few days.

That's just intuition.

But Maria believed the intuition.

"Sister!

Heading from the study to Rebecca's room, there was a figure of her spreading her notebook on her desk to encourage her to study.

"Maria...... well. You found out."

"Are you sure, sister?!? Engagement... Huh!

"It's okay. Because I was originally prepared..."

"─ Are you hiding something from me?

……

Rebecca distracts her eyes softly. I'm sure if you look me in the eye and talk to me, you'll find out. That's what I thought it would do, but of course it goes out the back.

"I knew... if it was just an engagement, your sister wouldn't be so depressed. What happened to you?

"It's none of your business"

When he tells her so with perseverance, Rebecca forces Maria to push herself out the door.

"Hey! Sister!

"Maria, it's over now. So I'm fine."

"Wait! Sister!

Doors that can be closed by the buckwheat. And they lock me up with rattles from inside.

"Sister..."

Maria's never seen Rebecca so weak before.

─ ─ There must be something. There's something I can't talk to you about... Huh!

Is that a sense of justice? Or is it another emotion?

I'm sure that should be described as sisterly love.

He wants to support his sister, who has always supported me, this time by himself. That's what Maria thought.

And Maria also started acting independently for Rebecca.
