ower blooirl said

Yeah! I hope it blooms soon Yuna answered with a smile

In a quiet garden surrounded by tall walls, flowers that weren’t planted or bought swayed in the wind In there, Yuna and the other girl surrounded a srins It was a baby plant, smaller than even their palms It wasn’t unusual to Yuna, whose fairl who stroked its leaves sweetly, her own face naturally sht from the bottom of her heart

A little tired fro, Yuna stood up and stretched When she closed her eyes and raised both arroan slipped out Her body felt refreshed and lighter– but at the sa, and so Yuna opened her eyes with a snap

The young girl had disappeared

Alone, the sprout that was left behind shook helplessly in the wind Yuna blinkedgirl who disappeared And then she noticed so was different with the view she had just been looking at The garden was cra that had looked like they were hanging over her didn’t seeround, was now closer to the sky

The world had shrunk

Is what she thought, but she immediately realized that wasn’t it and held her hands open to the sky Long and nicely-shaped fingers trehtly They weren’t small, soft, and warm hands that made one want to wrap them up These were, unmistakably, the hands of an adult

That’s right, she wasn’t a child anymore Yuna closed her hands and lowered her arolden hair, as if trying to run aith it

“You’re here in a place like this”

As she stood there, trying to keep her hair down, the calm voice of a man trickled down Yuna’s back She kneho the owner of that voice ithout needing to turn around When she turned around instead of replying, Asyut was co up to her with a soft smile

“Your hair is disheveled”

Asyut reached out gently to Yuna while chuckling Touched by that large hand with the utentleness, Yuna’s eyes closed partly in pleasure As he tucked her long hair behind her ear, the warradually The indistinct uneasiness she felt just a few o vanished, and her chest slowly filled with the thought of wanting thistime

“Shall we return, Lady Celiastina?”

Hearing that naaze, which had been lowered, to Asyut

She was– yes, Celiastina

The supre in this country, would promise prosperity to the world The only one in this world, with absolutely no substitute The only one in this world, with no possible substitute A special being

She was no longer Yuna There was no one ould call her Yuna

She knew that, and yet this truth still overwhelmed Yuna

Asyut’s voice, eyes, and war “Celiastina”

Hey, Asyut, the one in front of you isn’t Celiastina In truth, I’m a completely different person What would you do if I said that? Would you believe me? Would you accept me?

However, a future of knowing that ansould never come around

Yuna sunk into a slow despair, she noticed Asyut had turned his back and started walking His regular pace gradually carried his back farther and farther away Yuna tried to hurriedly chase after him but, as if roots had sprouted from her feet, she couldn’t hts? Even her voice seemed to have withered, and she wasn’t able to call out his name

Wait, wait, Asyut

Her body was heavy She wasn’t able to raise her ar after Asyut Heavy, heavy Why was she so heavy

At thatto her own body

Her skin… was

Slowly, like it was

What is… this Yuna, who should have had a frightened expression, could clearly feel the unpleasant sensation of the skin on her face dripping down The skin on her entire body, and her flesh, was round

Yuna felt like everything went dark in front of her– no, the world actually turned dark The idyllic garden scene that had just been there, disappeared so alone in the darkness

In that, there was only the echoing blunt and heavy sound of flesh falling

(No! Someone help!)

Even trying to screaranted With this e to check her own appearance Instead, she stared intently at the white lu” was unable to bear its oeight and collapsed, slowly oozing and perround

How long did that continue to happen Before long, the spread out “thing” revealed two purple grains, like jewels Even in these circulimmer of that purple, which would make a person think it beautiful, calmed Yuna a little in the rains goggled and moved to fix firmly in her direction, she realized that they weren’t jewels but human “eyes”

(This is…)

From those purple eyes, the outline of a face started to rise froht nose, shapely lips, and a refined jaw

(Celiastina)

A chill ran down Yuna’s spine as those cold eyes looked up at her without expression

“I despise you”
