After Noct stormed out of the room with Mikoto, an eerily silence wrapped inside the roo flustered, as if he was oblivious to the silence

The day he decided to take care of Aru, he knew this will happen one day

And he did wish to see her one day

However, he did not think that the day will coe to face his younger sister at the moment

Aru was the one to break the silence when Marca froze on the spot after seeing Elvie

「Marca, what happened? You said you were looking for ave ive it to you But I didn't knohere your club roo around the school Oh, this, it's the letter」

「Thank you, Marca」

Aru smiled as he accepted the letter, then Marca s odd as he saw the two of them smile at each other Then, Aru continued curiously

「Hey Marca, when you said ”older brother”, were you referring to El senpai?」

Marca's face lit up as she heard Aru's question, as the only person left in that room who didn't know about this

「Yeah, I was! I'ain, brother! I can't believe he was the club president!」

「Yeah, I'm sorry, I should have told you earlier」

As Elvie apologised, Marca frowned and put her hands on her hip

「Geez, you never come back home on any of the breaks, and you haven't replied to any of my letters! Do you have any idea how h she was co to hold back her joy Seeing this, Aru gave a small smile

「Yeah, I'm happy for you Marca」

「Thank you Aru!」

Seeing Marca sh to erase the uneasiness

It was now too late to play strangers His only option noas to

But seeing how happy Marca was, Elvie did not knohat to do

「Brother, do you study properly? I've heard some stuff about the club from Aru but I wasn't too sure, so…」

As Elvie went quiet, Iori, as silent all along spoke

「hello, Elvie's little sister I' you」

Although Marca felt uneasy after an upper classmate has suddenly talked to her, she politely bowed to hiart I'ecraft It's nice tois a little co spells onto objects but we are also trying to invent tools which can be used by people who don't possess any 」

「Your brother ca lance as he casually stepped into their conversation and kept Marca entertained

Then, Elvie realised that Iori was looking at his tie, and quickly he tried to take it off

「If you're using such a difficult spell, you ht? That lady I ic school Could she be your classmate?」

Before he could take off his tie, Marca turned around and excitedly asked a question

Aru answered the question as she tilted her head in confusion, trying to make a sense out of this situation

「El senpai is in the Combat school」

「What, but, brother, you have to study e craft are those who possess ic potential」

「Aru!!」

Elvie called out Aru's na out harsher then he has originally intended

Hearing Elvie's shout, Aru jumped a little and fell silent But then, Marca

「Is it because of… that time?」

「No, Marca」

Elvie's face turned pale This was the worst-case scenario which he was trying to avoid

Then, Marca's face turned pale as well

「It's all my fault!!」

Her voice sounded ret and despair, overpowering Elvie's voice

「It's, it's all my fault Because that day, I was, so now brother…」

「Marca, you've got the wrong idea」

Her body was shaking, her face was pale, and her vision was blurred with tears Elvie tried to calm her down but she only shook her head furiously

「I'm sorry, father, brother, I'm sorry This is all my fault!」

「Marca, just listen to e drops of tears running down her face

「What」

At thatand Marca ran out of the club rooo after her But the ars felt as if they were rooted down into the floor

Then, a figure rushed past Elvie as paralysed on the spot
