Volume 4 Chapter 4 (1/2)
[Elmer]
“Hey, Sora”
“What is it?”
“Can you tell ic?”
The two suns have set and the moon showed up after a while passed
I was sitting on the sofa while leaning ht on my left elbohen I asked Sora, who took his place onat him
I could have asked Matthias, but he always return dra and polite explanations so I chose Sora because he’s the easiest to talk to
“Magic, huh… Did you know that we can only use plant[grass/kusa], fire, wind and earth ic?”
“I didn’t”
He didn’t listen toto do
“Even if just a little aic The type ofto the four I mentioned without exceptions”
“I see Isn’t there ice in it?”
“There isn’t But there’s water, which isn’t counted a them”
I cannot manipulate water I attempted to do it several ti it into ice first
“I can only use ice fro but…”
I began to think whether it’s strange after all
In the silence, a drifting cloud concealed the moon and slowly dimmed the room
I couldn’t stand the aardness so I began to talk first
“Is it common?”
“It’s absolutely not common Rather, if that’s really true… Ah, you’re really incredible It’s still strange though”
Sora said so while roughly scratching his head
Is it weird after all? Is it because I already died once? There are a lot of reasons that crossed my mind but I can’t identify which caused it particularly
I changed the topic so he won’t realize thatloudly
“Sora, what’s your affinity?”
Attributes seemed like their hereditary I’m certain that the West Vern fah we already talked several tiht that I didn’t really know much about Sora struck me
“Mine is grass”

“You can make them bloom?”
The i crossed ly, could it be that he has a hobby that’s out of a fairy tale?
“Flowers!? Well, I can do them…”
“I want to see!”
Why was Sora so surprised? Was the idea of grass = flower that strange? Or … could it be a bonsai?!

“Uhmm I don’t want to show it too much, so maybe someday…”
“I see… as expected…”
As expected, his hobby is gardening I looked at hi that, so Sora looked at me curiously
I feel like I was able to see a new side of him
Then Sora stood up after chatting a little more It looks like it’s time to return soon
“You should sleep soon Well then”

“Good night Ah…!”
The ht, Sora disappeared He said before that entering and leaving via the door is no-good, and just disappears on the spot for so before how he disappears but I always forgot about it
Usually, I go to bed this time and sleep quietly But today it’s different
It doesn’t seem like I’ll be able to sleep even if I tried to do so a while ago
Sometime later, I placed a foot on thelike Sora does
Freezing ability…about? I et experiic, ht be leaked out
I stretch out a hand reached the tree growing beside the
Still, Matthias was happy when he saw ic I’ that they’ll accept who I am Ah, there’s Leont, too I don’t know about Cashbar-san, but I get a weird feeling from him…
I held onto the trunk and begun to go down slohile placing a foot on a branch
Anyway, I came to the West Vern’s and found a place where I can stay But this and that are different I do not want to be a burden to the West Vern family
But just think about it I’ll go to school soon, I believe What will happen at that ti to be a transfer student whoic is strange, I won’t get a chance to make even one friend
Isn’t it the worst?
“Ah…”
When ground became near, the foot I tried to place completely slipped round with gushari Since it rained yesterday, mud stickily stained my clothes
Let’s change clothes when I get back to the rooet scolded by Mathias if he found out about it It’s not like he really memorized each of my clothes I only have to wash these clothes so I won’t be exposed
