「…so the ic bear lived with the childhood friend, a girl, and they lived happily ever after The end」

「What? The end? Miss Lucia, read it again…」

「No, that's all for today If you don't sleep now, you won't be able to wake up toe」

I said to the village girl as I finished reading the book and closed it with a clomp

「Hey, hey…why did the warrior not choose the princess? He could have been king? Kings are good, right?」

「You're right But he loved his childhood friend More than anyone and anything The power of love is strong, no edies you see, it has the power to overcome all Just like Keril and I…」

I covered her in her bed and blew out the candle

After rubbing her ar soundly

Toht that Keril would have arrived in the village yesterday, but there was news that he had some trouble and would be a little late He would arrive tomorroith Woojes and Katrea, ere set to arrive today

It was normal that Keril would run into trouble, but I wish he would take care of himself on days like this If he would, we could have a few days to actcouple

「Hee hee, Right Keril and I are finally e

It's a day that I've always looked forwards to

So that Keril would look out for me

So that Keril would let me do what I want

So that Keril would love etting dressed up for Keril

Doingover many enemies that looked to tear up our relationshi+p

No matter what, Keril would always trust

There was only one childhood friend with the power to stop that, and since I chased her away long ago, she must be dead

That time, the adults had hidden it from us children, but I knew that her and her et between Keril and I

(Wake up early tomorrow, and make a pie full of different fruits Keril will be happy)

On that snowy day, a pie just like then, when I chased that botherso of the happy future that I would give Keril, I would do anything, ANYTHING to keep it

(Hee hee hee, I wonder if toet that happy red fruit, to since yesterday afternoon stopped, and the clear sunny sky shon on the snowy landscape

In that icy wonderland, it felt good to feel that fuzzy step of collected snow under my instep

I awoke early to cook a pie, but I woke far earlier than I expected That's why I decided to waste soe while I thought over the rounds and looked at the empty house that we used to play hide and seek in, and the church wewill be in that church as well

I guess right about now the village father that ed us will be waking up

I opened up the church to its main hall

No one was there, and the hall was filled with silence

In front of the altar, I took a minute to pray

「God, thank you Please make Keril and I happy Please watch over us fro of an opening door

An old, kind e white beard entered

「Oh, Lucia Have you awoken early to pray?」

「Father GoodI woke early so I decided to say ood Lord is watching over you Lucia You'll be fine, both you and Keril will find happiness together」

The old race and ware coether to wish happiness for us

「Yes, father I…I will find happiness」

「Yes, yes, good I've been praying for it froo Even in that foolishness with those beast-hue, I noticed it I couldn't help you fro bullied by that beast-child, so to see you two finally be so happy, I, AGH!!」

Drip, drip…someone's blood fell

「Well, seeh, so could you?」

「Whaa? What the…?!」

I was so shocked I couldn't move, because in front ofsliced arose, as a blood-covered sas pulled froh…uhB…blood…o…help…」

「Stop exaggerating Your heart and large vessels haven't been cut You won't die soon」

「Ughh…」

A woman appeared beforetime friend

She suddenly kicked the injured father onto the ground

「Ah…ah…I don't want to…die…」

「You're fine God is watching, right? That's why you'll be happy, right?」

He put his hand into the hole in his sto all of this happen ht? Lucia, what do you think? If a God that's watching ive anyone happiness Don't you think the sae hair and eyes, and those long rabbit ears

With her alluring smile, her thin arms and womanly body, covered in a otten rid of…is now here

「W…why…I thought you were sold to slavers…」

「Oh…you , but it seems that you did The reason must have been that you listened to the adults' conversations You can't do that, if they find out, they'll scold you」

She snickered, laughing, and I could feel a cold sensation of fear downair, with a dagger al of ice

「W, why are you here all the sudden? Have you coe?」

「Yes, just so Time for my childhood friends to start a new life Of course I've come to see you off」
