Chapter 51 (2/2)

She had silky white skin as if transparent that wasn’t burned by the sun

When her eyes uste’s, Erica smiled faintly

Her green eyes that were of a shade like shalloaters gave a cold ih they were beautiful

She earing a deep ultrahtly

Her modest appearance that had an austere atmosphere like a nun was in harmony with this place that was called a sanctuary

“Good afternoon, Erica”

“You have been keeping my cat company Thank you very much”

“It’s because I relatively like cats

They don’t care about being held, and we don’t knohat they are thinking”

“Ah, I

thinking”

“Ah, I understand that”

The cat avoided and escaped the hands of Erica which were stretched out as she nodded

Auguste and Erica smiled bitterly at each other

Erica was soht so

Although she was the one who came close suddenly, if he tried to catch her she would escape as much as possible

Her wariness was high, and even if at first glance she seemed to be frank, she would never open her heart

She would never reveal her hand, even when she had the eyes that seeh other people’s heart

Even though she was surrounded by a lot of people, she seemed to be cut off from those around her

A irl as capricious, unduly distant, aloof, and held some secrets

For Auguste who refused to live with others, her sense of distance was preferable

“By the here is the golee?”

“I think he will cos over there”

“How extraordinary, it is a golem with artistic sense huh”

“Ah……, of course, I just set it to look as if there is a will”

“Erica is meticulous”

Despite being a young girl of eight years old, Erica was an excellent alchemist

Auguste had seen a few goleolem she had made

The gole as if it was alive

As they were talking about it, Tirnanog e

There were

When she noticed the footsteps of Tirnanog, Goldberry as sleeping by the sculpture near the skylight woke up

When Goldberry landed on the shoulder of Tirnanog, Tirnanog trehtened

Auguste seized the back of Goldberry

back of Goldberry as ju around

“Goldberry, please behave like a lady”

“Kyu!”

When Goldberry nodded, she landed a few steps away fro

As she walked slowly in front of Tirnanog, she boith her wings spread quietly

Tirnanog also observed her for a few seconds and then lowered its head as if in response

“Every tiolem is clever”

“Ahaha……the current technology sure is wonderful”

“Now that we all present, shall we leave?

……Uh, the best place has gone

If there is a place where Erica wants to go, I will take you there”

“Yes, please”

The Island of Messenger where the Advent Festival ended had a somewhat lonely atmosphere

Auguste liked the unique loneliness after the festival

I hope Erica likes it too, Auguste walked while thinking such a thing

He heard so behind him

When Auguste looked back, his eyes met with the cat as there before he knew it

In front of the cat, Auguste’s diary had fallen doith the opened pages facing down

“Meow?”

“Aah, it fell out of my pocket, huh

I’m sorry Are you surprised?”

Auguste picked up the diary and casually ran his eyes on the opened page

He gazed at the page that was supposed to be a blank sheet and stoppedfor a while

“Is there so?”

“No, never o”

Auguste put the diary in his pocket and urged Erica

Only the cat knew that the grief of loss had disappeared from that expression

The day after the Advent Festival, 1880

Erica and I went around the city

I can hardly wait for the day when I can see her again

Apparently, the ure, but she see the people

(A description ritten on the next page with a handwriting of another person other than Auguste)

You can already fly alone

Someday, I’m sure your hands will reach the star
