When She Becomes a Witch

The fever has gone down and my body is light. The weather is fine.

But Chloe Neulai's mood was no heavier than this.

Saying the fever went down didn't get my mother's permission, and even though it was just a cold, I ended up out of school for seven days.

... Soujiro, what's going on?

Felicity and the others, who came to see me, say, he seems to be resting from a cold, too. Did you come home in that rain without an umbrella?

Thinking that far, Chloe stopped and shook her head.

It won't. I'm sure it happens. Coincidentally, he was just ill, too.

Spread your arms wide and inhale the pleasant early morning air all over your chest.

Early summer, the smell of rainy soil, the smell of green and the smell of flowers flowing from somewhere.

It was somewhat awkward to face the other kids, so Chloe is attending school pretty early today.

There is no one on the usual tree-lined roads, even if you enter the school grounds.

It's quiet and cancerous, even though it's busy with the students every day.

I've been thinking about this for the last seven days.

I'm talking to Souzillo.

About myself and Souzillo.

I was wondering what to do, the best.

But there's no way we're gonna find a way to shut it down.

"Nah."

"Geez."

Suddenly, a sweet cat squeals.

When I looked forward in a hurry, the white cat stood in grandeur in the middle of the tree-lined lane.

"Nah."

The white cat is about to go somewhere. Looking back, like I said, follow Chloe.

"... where do you guide me?

"Nyah."

The white cat shouted. If you want to translate, it's a pleasure to follow, something like that?

Straight down the tree-lined path, holding onto the implant, through the gap between the building and the walls, the place we reached was the school courtyard.

In the immediate vicinity there was an east house, where someone could be seen sitting on a chair provided.

- That one.

"Yumis, school director"

"Oh."

"Good Morning"

"Yeah, good morning. Just fine, Mr. Chloe. Come here. Hey. I want you to see something."

When the director of Yumis School smiles with the face of a flower (basket) said to have become so much more beautiful than before, he invites Chloe.

I don't know what the hell is going on, but I'm getting close to the East Room. By the way, the white cat is already round on Yumis' lap....... I would be anxious while other HR if I hadn't contaminated her expensive dress.

What I wanted you to see, it seemed on the table.

A black cloth is laid. There are several tarot cards placed there.

... and this is.

"You - how do you figure this out?

"Thank you. Nothing. I'm just saying it's bad. It sucks."

Cards that should not come are all arranged where they should not come.

What kind of stars and the turning of fate would result in this kind of result?

"It is. I don't know, the worst kind of disaster."

With that being said, Yumis quickly wraps the cards together and wraps them in cloth.

"The age of flowers is over, and the age of iron is upon us -"

She groans badly and sadly, as if grumbling poetry.

What is it that hurts your chest so much when you can be reunited with your lover and Yumis is so prettier than before?

……

Should I talk to Yumis about Soujiro?

Not everything is the same, but they have something in common: they became lovers with international students from distant countries.

"Um, school director"

"Oh, yeah. Hey, Mr. Chloe, can I get you another one?"

"Yes!

I was just about to cut the story out, but I hear there's something from Yumis too.

Yumis, smiling innocently, said:

"We'll make it up to you sooner."

"... Yes!

Oh, already.

This guy looked so clumsy and extreme about his love route, but he knows a lot about people.

"Hehe, then. We're done here."

That being said, Yumis Ratrasta Atlantis walked away with a white cat.

Yumis, who had been separated from her lover for ten years.

… the homeland of Souzillow and the Atlantis Islands, far away. Too far.

Then what's your way to go?

Chloe grabbed the cloak flowing from her uniform shoulder.

The color is blue. The colour of the most advanced student's testimony.

There's only a few days left before you can wear this.

……

It seems about time there were more students in the school building.

If Chloe doesn't get to school early, she'll be late.

"Mm-hmm. I gotta go."

It's been a long time, so I wanted to go to school properly through the front door. In the meantime, I decided not to use the cat path I just went through, so I circled half way around the outside of the school building and headed back to the front.

Walking on the grounds on campus, which I don't usually go through, gives me a fresh feeling. I've been to this school for three years and it's kind of funny.

Coming right next to the arena, I discovered a familiar hindsight.

Small and skinny physique for men. A little long black hair is wrapped in a beautiful red decorative string.

The way he holds his bag, the way he walks, everything, is nostalgic and loving.

"... sooooooooooooooo...!

When Chloe calls, he stops moving for a few seconds like he's lost, then slowly looks back.

... Chloe's Seeking Souzillow Hino was there.

"Morning, Souzillo"

"Morning...... Chloe"

He turned a little blind, but seemed too shabby, but still returns his greetings.

Chloe looks around.

There are no people at the moment. Not that it's a place with mood, but there's no other place and no time, so I can't help it.

"Souzillow, you know"

Speaking to him in a serious voice, he gazed at me, too.

"I'll go to Smeramicuni when I graduate."

"... you... eh...!

I haven't decided anything yet, but I haven't even talked to my parents, but I haven't even taken a travel document, but I did. And that's what I wanted you to hear the most, to him.

"Chloe, because you..."

His face was distorted by confusion and sorrow.

"Yeah, of course I like Atlantis. It's where I was born and raised, isn't it? But I like Souzillo. So I'm sure you can live in Smeramikuni."

deliberately and openly, Chloe says.

There's no way he hasn't spotted me, a three-year relationship. But Chloe still behaves brightly. I don't show anxiety. I won't show it to you.

"Chloe......"

"In time for travel documents and all that, let's go home to Smeramikuni together"

"The voyage is long and boring. The United States is huge, and it takes days on a cross train."

"I'm with Souzillo, I'm looking forward to it"

"... you"

Whether he was lit, crying or laughing, that was the messed up look.

Just looking at that face makes me think Chloe was good...

Evening.

Two long shadows lean against the dusk-dyed city.

The shadows of Chloe and Souzillow are almost together in length. Rather, Chloe is just a little longer. Sometimes I cared, but that's just the way it is in a relationship.

I'll see you tomorrow.

"Oh, I'll see you tomorrow"

In front of Chloe's house, the tailor and destiny goddess, the two say "See you tomorrow" and break up.

Dropping off Souzillow's back, Chloe walked into the house at will.

Smells like spicy soup, but my mother wasn't in the kitchen. Maybe even in my father's workshop.

On the table, there is today's newspaper. Chloe casually spread it out to her hands.

The article written on one side......

"A couple of heirs to the Austro-Hungarian Empire were assassinated in Sarajevo by Serbian youths…"

Chloe's back is stuck.

Running around in my head are words like Yumis' grunting poetry.

"The age of flowers is over, and the age of iron is upon us -"
