I laughed boisterously for a long ti Cassion’s eyes on

But my efforts didn’t bear fruit at all

It looked as though he was taking it in stride, but he shook his head and spoke

“Anyway, I’ll take care of it to the best ofto work, then I’ll leave it to you”

Hht he’d be a stickler for the rules

I knew he’d accept it even though he were to be saddled with the second best, but he’s even saying ‘I’ll leave it to you’ now I didn’t expect that

“You’re not telling ht you’d be reluctant to cheat”

Hearing lanced at me

And casually replied back

“Whatever it takes, I need to stay beside you”

With a passionate determination

“Really Whatever it takes”

The type of determination that was as heated as the midsummer sun

‘When you said you need to stay besidebehind this that’s e

I blinked for a ht Stay by hed and whispered this to hiaze

Shwaaa—

Once again, the breeze blew in from an unknown place

The wind fluttered the leaves and blew past my hair As I held it back with one hand, I looked up at the sky

That clear, blue sky

Still, it wouldn’t be like that for long The in next month

‘Three weeks from now is Cassion’s match, and… the week after that…’

Was Cassion’s funeral

Yes, right as the rain would pour down from the heavens

They had already sent out obituaries to the other households, but I hadn’t told Cassion about it yet

I’m worried that his mental fortitude would be shaken once he found out

He had an important match ahead, and it would be a proble else

Still, I knew that I wouldn’t be able to hide it forever

‘It’s none other than his own funeral after all’

I’ll tell him after the match

Yeah After he wins

‘So, before that…’

“You know there’s only about three weeks left until the ht?”

“Yes, I’ next week”

“Outing?”

His tone was perplexed

“How is that related to the ain, and at this, I set you some hands-on practice”

“Hands-on practice…?”

“By nature, people learn h real experience I’ll prepare it well, so don’t worry”

Well, it’s not actuallyit

“……”

Cassion stayed silent

All he did was look at me orry in his eyes

What the hell are you up to…

With the kind of expression that seehed off his concerns

“Didn’t I say not to worry? I’ll let you practice safe and sound”

But the o away

I reached into my pocket and handed him a note

Baffled, Cassion took it from me

“What’s this?”

“Open it”

He glanced at me first, but soon opened the note

“Black Lion Guild?”

What Cassion uild, which ritten at the top of the note

It’s nothing but a shady guild, but what a grandiose name it had…

As he skimmed the contents of the note, he soon asked

“By chance, this… Is it…?”

“Med to before”

“……”

His brows furrowed as he stood in silence

When I brought Diana back, of course Cassion also ith us back then

So, while I told Diana about the secret behind the guild, Cassion was also listening to everything

That the guild, all this ti her through labor

I reached out one finger towards the middle of Cassion’s furrowed brows

Tap

As ertip touched the h they were aze

Retracting rinned as I looked into his eyes

“Your forehead— it’ll have wrinkles”

“Hah…”

With a helpless smile, Cassion shook his head

“Didn’t I proe”

Noith a smooth brow, he answered

“Then the hands-on practice…”
