”What do you want me to promise?” There's no way I could pull back at this late hour
”Well──listen up”
Then, er
”First To prioritize escaping as ers Don't poke your nose in unnecessary things──because you ht die if you do”
”Okay”

Continuing, er
”Second Do not think of yourself as someone special──Witch or whatever you may be, you are a traveler Don't ever be conceited, and don't forget that you are just like anyone else”
”Okay”

”Third──”
She lowered down her loosely formed fist
Then, mother smiled
”Come back without fail Please come back and show us your cheerful face”

”Will you keep it?”
”Yes”

With that ti, father burst into tears
”A-Are you really going Elainaa!?”
”Father dear, it's so that child decided on her own Don't we have to support her back? What'sup isn't what a parent should do”
”Although father was trying to void that prooー”

Next day
”Un The size is just right”
I dressed myself in a new outfit
Black tricorne and black robe
It was handed to be by mother
”Isn't it it a bit too plain?”
I checked it while turning around in front of the mirror
”Oh ht What's more, it matches you perfectly”
”Why thank you”
”Do you have money?”
”It's all set”
”I hope you don't waste it needlessly”
”Of course”
”Next is──ah, that's right Just in case, take this with you”
”?”
What appeared on top of her hand with a pop was a black tricorne
It was of the exact sao why?
”In case your tricorne gets stolen by the wind, use this one,” said mother to the puzzled me
To put it simply,
”So it's a spare?”
”Yes it is”
In that case, I shall receive it
And after I finishedpreparation, I stood at the entrance
Looking back, the two of them stood there
”Take care, Elaina” Mother waved her hand with a smile
”UGuh Uwoooooo” Father started to cry again
While caressing father's head, entle smile
”Whenever you return, please let me hear the story of your journey”
”Please look forward to it”
”I will──Then, take care”
After bowing, I said
Said, while producing the best smile I could
”I'm off!”
