... live free!

When I said that, Yua could see her face turning red as she leaned down.

"Youre."

I gently called Yua's name and Yua slowly raised her face.

"I wonder what Yua thinks of what Lumia did to Yua, though she's terribly afraid she'll be rejected by Lumia?

"Oh, that's..."

He had a troubled look about Lumia as he said. Well, I know because I've actually heard it from Lumia, but I think I know to some extent that Lumia cares about Yua just because I've heard it from Yua... And I thought that. But, well, I can't say it at all because sometimes it seems like you can't tell if you're someone close.

"... don't know?

"Yeah......"

"Maybe, but Lumia thinks the same thing about Yua, doesn't she?

When I said that, Yua looked surprised but looked anxious right away.

"What makes you think that?

"Why? It's a little hard when you ask, but the part where Yua unilaterally thinks so is strong, isn't it? If you think that, you can't talk to Lumia forever, can you? You wish Yua could hang out with Lumia like she used to, don't you?

Yua nodded when she heard that.

"Then it's time for us to discuss it, isn't it? It's been a long time since what happened at the orphanage, and Yua's pretty much settled in, hasn't she? Probably, but I think Lumia's just free to chill out, too."

"There may be that, but how am I supposed to get to see him?

From what Yua said, that means you're starting to feel like going to see Lumia, right? But he doesn't seem to know what kind of face to look like to go see him...

"Think of that for yourself? Just go see him tomorrow morning."

"Huh!? Oh, I can't do that suddenly!

Yua came to me like that, shaking her neck sideways, surprised by what I said.

"That's how you're not trying to put it off, is it?

When I said that, Yua looked a little awkward. Did you push things too far, thinking I knew it after seeing how it went? But if you don't say this much, Youre not going to be there forever... In the meantime, if Youre going to see Lumia, it'll work, but if I try Youre, you're anxious because there's no such certainty...

"... Yua go see Lumia, and if it doesn't work out, I'll comfort you about Yua, so be brave and go see her."

"... really?

Yua came to confirm what I said as she seemed anxious.

"Yes, I am."

"Well, then, you know, I want you to do something when it goes well... No, I don't think so.

Does that mean you want me to do something when it goes well? I didn't think about that because I thought it would definitely work. Well, if that's about it and Yua will talk to Lumia, okay?

"... ok. I'll do that for you. But you're going to see what I can do, right? Okay?"

When I said that, Youre nodded with a full grin.

"Yeah!"

"So you're gonna work hard on going to see Lumia tomorrow?

"Good luck"

So we fell asleep early in preparation for tomorrow.
