In the deep forest, two girls go.
The light of the sun has long been shaded by the already lush trees.
At night, it's not as dark as it seems, but it's dark enough to blur the contours of things.
The path that went through it was narrow and winding.
He repeatedly went up and down at short intervals, hiding in the exposed bush and interrupting, and the road that he could not even see ahead did not know where he was going to carry the two of them.
But there is no conversation between the two of you who walk.
A yellow light is emitted from the cane of the slim girl. The two relied on it and walked silently.
The beautiful girl who walks at the head, without stopping the light of her cane, moves forward in a tingling, but without breaking her grim expression.
In contrast, the luxurious little girl walking behind her looked anxiously at her surroundings, her face buried in her robe.
How long have you been walking? In the forest where the sun does not shine, not only the outline of the object but also the sense of time becomes obscure.
However, the light from the wand suddenly blinked several times.
"Lilty"
The leading girl said without turning around.
"I'm almost there."
The girl says, keeping an eye on the tip of her cane.
From now on, I can feel strong magic power.
Um, yeah.
Lilty nodded and raised her face, looking at Leila's back, a girl walking in front of her.
You're a purple stone sorcerer, aren't you?
Lilti said in a whisper.
I wonder what kind of opponent they are.
"I don't know."
Leila's response was unacceptable.
"If I knew in advance that something like that would be used, I might have looked into it." But I've never heard of a magic tool called the Nine Brothers Stone Bracelet. "
Saying that, she bit her lips regretfully.
"You'll be reminded that you're an immature child who doesn't know anything yet."
"Oh, no."
Behind Leila, Lilty shakes her head.
"Layla says that magic and knowledge are not at the level of elementary school students." Even middle-range magic can be mostly used. "
It doesn't make sense to evaluate the same children in elementary school.
Leila doesn't break her steep expression.
"If you can't exert your power at a time like this, then there's no point in using your knowledge or forging magic."
While saying that, Leila recalled.
Lulu Fountain Grotto.
The battle against the giant shadows that appeared.
You risked your life to protect yourself, Almark.
The desperation of having to stare at a classmate who is about to die in his arms.
"If I die, it's all over there."
Layla said.
That day, Almark came back alive.
Leila, hopeless, bet on the possibility of a cure.
If you're just staring, I'd at least like to do something. It was just that.
When the redness appeared on Almark's cheeks, my heart was relieved.
Almark told me that Layla's healing surgery helped him survive, but Layla knows that.
My healing surgery was like a step from the last boat I ever landed on the shore.
It was Almark's own soul's strength that saved Almark's life.
I am still at the academy, helped by it.
I will never repeat such a miserable mistake again.
Leila has been so determined since that day.
”In truth, I could have done this, but I can't even say such a word after I'm dead”
Layla stared at the blinking light and told her to tell herself.
I can only do my best while I'm alive.
"Only while I'm alive."
Lilti's voice, repeating Layla's words, shuddered and trembled.
Feeling Lilty silence behind her, Layla shook her head in a small way.
I can't.
Leila admonished herself.
Now that you've scared the cowardly Lilti even further, nothing will come of it.
I don't doubt that what I said is a harsh fact, but I don't have to say it all the time.
Wendy's life is at stake. If we are purely looking for results, then that's the point.
I should have learned that from what he looked like that day.
Coming from a place closer to death than anyone else, but from that boy who doesn't smell of death, full of mysterious vitality.
"I'm sorry, Lirtie."
Layla looked back as she said so.
"I didn't mean to scare you. It's okay, you don't have to be nervous, you have your strength."
But Lyra's words, which cared about Lilti, were interrupted along the way.
Unexpectedly, my strong eyes and eyes met.
"I think Leila's right."
Lilty's face was pale. However, she nodded as she looked at Leila's face.
Since you can't make it in time, how much noise can you make?
Lilty asks him to chew.
If you have to deliver magic when you have to, it doesn't make sense anymore.
Leila unexpectedly stopped and glanced at Lilty's face in a blink of an eye.
I'll do my best.
Lilti said in a still stronger tone.
It was the first time Lilti had seen Layla.
You can't use magic like Leila.
Lilti did not turn away from Leila. Lilty, who was always hiding behind Norish and could not claim anything in her own words, was now staring straight into Layla's eyes.
I'm sure Leila would have preferred torque, norish, or something like that with the other kids.
Lilty spun her words desperately as she was stuck in the middle of it.
“I'll do whatever I can. So please, Leila."
Lilty's big eyes swayed.
"Please, don't think that your legs are untied." Let me help you. "
Oh, I see.
Layla understood as she stared into Lilti's eyes as if fascinated.
They fought the darkness on Krun's Island.
So you had the experience of losing it.
My own life. The lives of my people. Both.
I tasted it just like I did. The despair that you may not be able to save the life that falls from nothing.
That's right.
Layla nodded. She loosens her expression and smiles softly.
"I'm relieved, Lirtie."
Lilty opened her eyes and took a small inhale. Leila could see the flushing on her cheeks.
"I don't need your help."
Layla said.
"Do your best."
Yeah.
Lilty nodded with a bright red face.
"Thank you, Layla."
"I don't need to thank you."
When she said that, Layla turned around.
“If you think you should thank me after all this is over.”
Leila said as she started walking again.
"I'll tell you what."
Even deeper in the depths of the forest.
A woman stood leaning against a tree tangled with vines.
Purple robe, purple hair and eyes. She was a beautiful woman of my age.
You're finally here.
When she saw the two girls who slowly walked towards her, the woman gave a sly smile.
"There are two cute girls. They both seem to have beautiful souls."
The woman said as if she were clapping her tongue.
It looks so delicious.
