Lead the other world.

When I asked Walnut for a secret, slightly hasty custom-made in the back of the store, and then came back, there was some noise outside. Is something wrong?

"Look, look, Takumi! They sell dragon scales and stuff!

Takumi, who had his consciousness turned out that way, looked back to the excited walnut voice at the rare monster material.

Takumi smiled at her mouth as she watched carefully and pleasantly at the grocery store where that monster's material was sold, wearing the same walnut as when she first came to Astrea and the two of us entered the grocery store.

Takumi observed the scales of the slightly glossy dragon species in the same way that Takumi lined up next to the walnut, in a transparent case so that it was not directly touched because it was a rare object watched by the walnut.

"Ooh... the scale of 'Wind Dragon'? I knew Astrea would distribute rare items."

Some of these rare items come crusading and flowing, but most of them are merchants, travelers, and people who are in the position to look for such things happen to find them.

Yamato also has these grocery stores, but they are still inferior to Astrea.

And "Wind Dragon," the walnut that looked at Boreas' scale had a somewhat complicated look on its face.

"It kind of reminds me of that day..."

"Right..."

That day, the day the defensive battle in Yamato took place. Many adventurers and cities have been sacrificed. A sad day that just makes my chest bitter to remember.

But an irreplaceable day for Walnut and Takumi. An unforgettable and important day under the starry sky of Yamato, confirming our feelings for each other.

We had a complicated look because we knew about it.

And before the awkward air, the walnut pounded and slapped his hand.

"Time to go to another store!

"Right!

They left the store with a grin that was too much for each other.

Whoa, whoa.

Then the two quickly sun went down while adventurers, such as Astrea's somewhat fashionable atmosphere clothing store, looked around at a store they would never normally go to.

Walnut now sat alone on a bench set aside on the road, waving his legs plumply at the people on the road. He asked me to wait here because Takumi needed a little help.

He then shifted his gaze to his own hand, where the warmth lingered slightly above his knee, narrowing his eyes.

(Takumi's hand, it was warm and warm...)

As we walked around the city having fun and chatting, we were unconsciously holding each other's hands until we were pointed out at the store where we had just been.

I dyed my cheeks slightly red and thought that was a smudge, and when I looked up, Takumi with a slight smudge in front of me crouched and looked at this one.

"Wow!? When!?"

"Oh, have you finally noticed? I just got here. And it's so rare for a walnut to think so much that you can't see around it. Is something wrong?

"Eh... I was just thinking about Takumi."

"Huh!!

Takumi, accidentally turned to a flying smile, looked away and reached out to the walnut whether it was embarrassing to stand up with her face red.

"Look, let's go! 'Cause there's one last place I want to go."

"Where you want to go......? Where is it?"

"That's a pleasure to have when we get there!

Walnut, who shrugged with pleasure and small, took Takumi's hand, which was stretched out, and the two walked out.

Whoa, whoa.

The night breeze softens the walnut's sarcastic dark hair. It gets a little cold, but I don't feel that cold thanks to the warmth of Takumi's hand.

"Wow... wow..."

"Right? You never came here once when I was injured before."

Where Takumi wanted to take the walnuts. It was a spacious terrace for tourists at Arcadia Castle. Apparently this place has become Astrea's famous dating spot.

Before the sun falls, you can see the grasslands lit not only by the state of the city, but also by the light of the sun that spreads outside the walls, and now that the sun has fallen, you can see the night view of the city from the terrace.

Walnuts could be seen from the wind with their hair in their ears, and they were seen in a different view than Yamato.

Standing next to such a walnut, Takumi looked at the night scene and just became a memory and adventurer of many encounters in Astrea came to mind and began to narrow her eyes and speak with nostalgia.

"It was a short time living in this city, but there was a lot going on... true"

"Right..."

We just met. I never dreamed the two of us would be so important to each other.

And about a year after that. There were two people who built newer memories then and confirmed each other's feelings. As a lover, tied to a firm bond as a companion who can keep his back.

Takumi shrugged smudgingly against the terrace fence as well.

"If it wasn't Walnut who helped me, I wouldn't be here right now."

"Me too, me too! Takumi taught me a lot. If I kept on being one adventurer, I might never have known for the rest of my life. It also told me how I felt."

Takumi smiled small and turned around and pounded her head lightly twice on the walnut like she was desperate to complain that way.

"Ha, don't be able to illuminate anything...... So, I have something for Walnut."

"What!? To me?"

Then Takumi took one box of pure white out of her magic back and opened the box to show it.

"Wow... beautiful... Wow, we're in line!! You give me something so nice?

Inside the box were two misangas decorated with rather rare ore that emitted a special light like the starry sky, where the unclarified strange forces still reside, besides being able to mine only in Yamato, called 'Tears of the Sky', on strings braided with the transparent hairs of phantom beasts.

This was something that I asked the grocery store to make today by bringing in the materials, which Takumi went to pick up before I got here.

Takumi spoke as she lowered her gaze slightly in the light of the walnut looking at the misanga in the box with pleasure.

"It's the first time I've had a gift or something. I didn't know what the girl would be happy with, but I'm glad Walnut was happy."

When Takumi looked up laughing in the light like that, there was a walnut touching Misanga in tears with potatoes for some reason.

"Oh, that? Hey, what's up? also, could it have been annoying?

In such a hurry Takumi asked, Walnut shook his neck vigorously left and right as he wiped his overflowing tears with his hand.

"Chi, I'm not... Haha, I'm sorry. Glad to hear it. When I think of the days I've had with Takumi, there's something really different going on."

Then we laughed at each other, and Takumi gave one misanga to the walnut, and each of them put a misanga on their right wrist.

Then when the 'Tears of the Sky' decorated by the two misangas shed a slight light, it was strangely attached to the wrist without any discomfort, as if the misanga had been there from the beginning.

And as we showed each other our arms with misangas, we gave Takumi a full grin.

"Thanks! I love you, Takumi"

Takumi smiled again at such a walnut smile.

"I like walnuts, too."

That's how they stared happily at each other and muttered each other's names small, eventually closing their eyes and overlapping their lips.
