Lots of people filling the boulevard.The trees are decorated with ornaments.

The plaza, where children always play, is lined with mobile triangular roof stores, and at the edge of each shop are lanterns decorated with red and green ribbons.

At the entrances and exits of the streets, there were metal arches made only for the time being, and at both ends there were sparkling lanterns suspended.

The wind that strokes my cheeks gets cold and my exhaling breath becomes white in December.

If there was a Halloween event, there was of course a Christmas event. That's why...

"Come on! It's your birthday!"

It was Leanne who raised her voice in front of Cecilia.

The place is the Sigogne Relief Institute, where she is from.In the past, there were about three instant stores in the place where the stage was built.

The birthday festival celebrates the birth of Lumiere, the goddess and Ian's child.And people called the city "Nesans Market" which is held in Ichii in conjunction with the birthday festival.

The birthday festival is different from the sacred festival, and it is organized by the people of the city.Since it is not held by the Catholic Church, the color of religion is not very strong. "Let's do it before the winter cage!'is the main purpose of this festival.

Cecilia mingled with the children at the salvage school in a relief school square that still had only a wooden frame, helping to prepare the Nesans market.

Is this okay here?

"Yes. Thank you! Will you put it under that desk?"

Leanne follows Cecilia's instructions and puts the crate she was holding under her desk.

Leanne, who had been entrusted by the sisters with partitioning the Nesans Market, had a schedule and gave instructions to the children.

I was surprised at the sacrifice, but it's quite grand, isn't it?

Is this your first birthday?

"Yes, I've been in the area every year during this time of year..."

As expected of the capital, it is unavoidably exuberant.

Some birthday festivals don't take place in every region.

Speaking of which, what happened to you last year?

"Last year?"

Unsure of what Leanne's question means, Cecilia twists her neck.

“It's been a year. Were you spending time in a menswear outfit?If so, you've been able to hide it well for a year. "

"Ah, that's right. In fact, you hardly attended college last year."

Oh, is that so?

Yeah. Gil's going to stop saying, 'I'm afraid to let you spend time alone, so wait until you get into college.'

Overprotection as usual.

"However, as for me, I wanted to understand the state of the college, so I had it integrated on the way."I think the tutor helped me learn. ”

However, looking back now, it may not have been good."The beautiful-looking man on the way to integration" is the focus of the attention of the girls.Because of this, Cecil made the name "Prince of the Academy" his own in a month of integration.

"Gilbert must have been surprised."When I enrolled, my sister-in-law, who was supposed to be quiet, had only been a prince for a couple of months... "

"Well, you asked for an explanation..."

Inadvertently, I have distant eyes.

His swordshield was a memory I don't really want to recall.

"It may be too late to say this now."Why don't you just take a break?I'm sure that's how I got away from the selection. "

"That's what I was thinking at first."See, that's it, right? What if the heroine doesn't get the treasure from anyone? "

I have not seen the ending of this case in the previous life of Cecilia.Well, I don't even know if there's such an ending.And I don't know the end of the Villainous Lady when she goes to the end.

It was mentally and physically tough to spend a year of fate without knowing or knowing anything.Therefore, Cecilia decided to enroll, knowing that it was dangerous.

"But it looks like you were right when you enrolled..."

"... you can't help it." I don't want to be Miko. "

Leanne turned her back on Cecilia's meaningless gaze.

"Well, if Prince Janice is telling the truth, isn't it okay for anyone to be a god child?"Isn't it Catholicism that sows the seeds of the [barrier]? "

"Well, I know, but I don't know how far Prince Janice's story is true..."

Janice was talking to Leanne, Grace, and Gilbert.

The conclusion that came out of it was "Let's ignore the story for now".If his story was a lie, I knew that there was something going on behind the scenes, and I didn't think it would be a good idea to get rid of it.

Besides, Janice...

That system has been around for a long time.There may no longer be anyone who truly understands and operates that system. ”

That's what I was saying.

In this case, the Catholic people may be running the system without knowing that they are sowing the seeds of the "barrier".

"Also, Gil said something that bothered me..."

Something bothering you?

"'If that story is true, that means that at the same time that Amako has decided, there will be no obstacle. If Amako hasn't decided among the seeds that budded at that time, the obstacle may continue to budge forever and ever again.'"

If that's true, Miko will have to decide.

Or they will cut off the 'barrier'.But the item was in Janice's hands.

That's why I don't really have time for this.

But you haven't made any progress in two weeks, have you?

"That's right, isn't it?Prince Janice, it looks like you have a lot of aliases and Gil can't seem to follow you."I said 'see you again', so I thought you'd come into contact with me, but after all, there's nothing..."

“If they come in contact with you, that's what's bothering you.”

Leanne spoke in a daze.

Then, Cecilia, who dropped her shoulder, slapped it as if it were an inspiration.

"Well, now give up and help me!"Even during the winter holidays, you won't go home this time, right? "

"Yes, I will. I can't let anything happen to my father and mother."

If Janice might come in contact with us, we should be careful.

If I go home and my parents get involved, I won't regret it.

"If you don't go home, Gilbert won't go home, will he?"Lucinda and Edward will miss you, too. "

"Well, I'm going home for the summer vacation, and I'm fine!"Sometimes it was a sacrifice.The letter said, "I'll send you something later," so I'm sure Lena's scones will be sent!Let's have a tea party when it arrives! "

"Springs for attention"

To put it bluntly, she hasn't tried anything she didn't feel right about.

Basically, she is good at getting along.

Cecilia smiles with satisfaction at the reply, then takes the box in the van.And I carried it as close to the store as before.

"Nevertheless, this box is heavy." What's in it? "

Ah!

Cecilia opens the box. So, what was in there was...
