New Life!

Interlude — Aina and E Life

Second night

We will arrive at the port toht of the boat trip

This tiht

Shecloser to her homeland

“Aina-chan, why don’t we go out to the deck?”

“Why?”

“To change the mood”

It was cloudy yesterday, but it’s clear today The lady at the dining hall said that it will be clear again toht sky

When I reached ers with mine

When I told Rossa, whom I could not see, to stay here, a “Nyan” came from under the blankets

When I caht sky

shi+ning so brightly that it feels as though I could reach out for it, the dazzling stars were like geht sky

It was so beautiful that I forgot about what I troubled ot absorbed in it

Like how I felt, I thought that it would be nice if the pretty night sky would console Aina-chan’s heart

On the deck, there was no one else but the sailors I soon discovered the reason

……Deathly cold!!

I wonder why It’s spring, yet a wind that threatens to shred the body blohile there’s ice floating in the sea

O-Oh no! Aina-chan came out without any additional clothes!

I took off my coat and put it around her shoulders

C, c-c-c-cold However, Aina-chan is more important

I was thinking that, but I sneezed loudly, and my coat was returned to me

Aina-chan said that the current te me that she was fine

She’s a snow fairy born in the snow country indeed

This extre for her I ed

I grabbed onto the gunwale and stared up into the sky

“I-It’s the sky of Aina-chan’s homeland……”

“!”

Today too, the night sky was spilling down It really think that it’s very beautiful

The sky of my homeland is not this pretty, even in the countryside

Maybe it’s especially beautiful because the air is clear

While I was staring up for a while, a star streaked across the sky

A shooting star! It’s the first ti it

I turned around to Aina-chan to see if she saw it too, but then I got surprised

In her eyes that were reflecting light froht, tears welled up

However, the oil in the laht disappeared We were then surrounded in darkness

What should I do!! While I was thinking that, Aina-chan said, “Thank you,” in a soft voice

If she’s thanking me, then the tears before should be tears of joy

I thought that it was really good

Until we ca opinions

When ere living in my homeland, I asked her a few times if she wanted to return to her homeland

She only shook her head

However, inside, she too wanted to returned

“Aina-chan, I——“

Wasn’t wrong

When I was about to say that, Aina-chan suddenly hugged me

From the sudden action, I froze up

Should I hug her back?

She was repeating words of thanks froo

In the end, before I could hug her back, Aina-chan split herself

Dangerous My face is hot I’ a pathetic expression from embarrassment

“……What a relief that it’s dark now”

I unconsciously saidout loud

However, soain

Aina-chan grabbed my wrists and looked up at me

Now that my eyes were used to the dark, I could see that her eyes were closed

Could this mean, that I could kiss her!?

……Eh, really?

As however I want!?

Because, this is impossible!

“Eh, ah, really?”

I tried asking, but Aina-chan did not answer

Which is it!

As I had rabbed, I spent a while in the cold weather

It’s cold……

Because I couldn’t bear it for many reasons, I kissed Aina-chan

She silently accepted it

I was so happy that I had tears

I ended up hugging Aina-chan and thanking her

The next e

At the port, Aina-chan’s reet us

Froot teary-eyed

We e

At the fort entrance, Ritz-kun and Sieglinde greeted us

Froain

I felt relieved that the two of them were healthy

Ritz-kun is still the refreshi+ng snow fairy, and Sieglinde looks strong

Seeing the unchanged appearance of the couple, I relieved

At the fort , I er ID

I was surprised that the attitude of the soldiers improved

But then I noticed that I was glared at when no one else was looking

Why……, I thought, but I snatched Aina-chan away fro her
