40-leaving on a journey (1/2)

It was the day before the entrance ceremony of the Earthria Magic Academy the next day.

I, Abel, was sitting on a chair by the window and looking at the scenery outside.

''Abel-sama. Are you ready to go?

Suddenly, he is approached from behind.

The name of the silver-haired beauty with a distinctive slender body is Lilith.

For various reasons, I had come to live with Lilith, the 'Demon King's Daughter' who saved my life 200 years ago.

''Oh. No problem. I've already packed my bags.

What we are currently doing is preparing for our move.

The Erthria Magic Academy is a boarding school.

Since it is too far from this remote area, it was necessary to move the base of life to the royal capital Midgard in order to attend the academy.

''Are you going to miss ......?''

When Lilith asked me about it, I looked out the window in silence instead of answering.

The view from the second floor has not changed at all since I arrived in this era.

Even the ridge line and the trees in the forest don't seem to have changed.

This land is an ordinary place with nothing to say about it.

But after living in this place for more than two years, you start to get attached to it.

We'll be back for the summer holidays.

Lilith smiled a little more gently.

I didn't reply, but pulled down the window curtains and locked the door. Locking the door, for the last time.

'Hey!'　Master!

There was a thump, and the door was opened.

A young boy, Ted, a little shorter than I am, with blond hair that looks like burnt tortoiseshell candy, enters.

I've taught him many things over the past two years, but the only thing he's never learned is how to open the door quietly.

Let's get going! Let's go! The carriage is getting away!

He's still a noisy guy.

Ted jumps up and down like a rabbit and hurries me over.
