Chapter 15 (1/2)

50 days since Lapis was picked up

Soon thattrack will become troublesome to use, so it will be represented by the calendar date

Year 2782 of the world calendar, the 15th day of the 6th ing, sweaty days began to increase I another in

However, Lily's hut—rather, the entirety plus the circuic circle is etched that maintains the temperature all year round Since Lily is weak to the heat and cold, 5500 years ago she spent a year working on a serious ic circle

And Lapis who received that blessing threw herself facedown onto Lily's lap pillow and thought about that

「…h wrong?」

While stroking Lapis's head, Lily asked Incidentally, whenever Lapis isn't doing house chores and Lily isn't researching ether The a skinshi+p is s 'What if I could live a long life'」

「Long life?」

While laughing as though being tickled, Lapis answered, while Lily tilted her head and asked again

「Right This is just a guess, but, I'll die before Lily right? Then, after I die, Lily will be continue to live alone… isn't that sad?」

Lapis expressed her earnest worries

She would be fine, surely she'd stay by the side of her beloved person until the end

But for Lily?

When Lapis thought about that, tears began to flow from both eyes That was the kind of sad delusion that Lapis had

After she died, Lily wouldn't be able to love anyone else and end up just living alone

Isn't that just too sad?

「What, so that's what you orrying about」

But, Lily brushed aside Lapis's serious worry

「! …Lily, what's with that tone? I, I' serious you know? And also, Lily, after I die, will you be able to properly love someone else?」

「No, that'd be impossible, I'm committed solely to Lapis」

「Huh! —…wait, I won't be tricked! I' serious!」

「Fufu, sorry about that But, if Lapis is thinking about such things, then ood to tell you…」

「?」

Lapis was getting relatively angry, but Lily re of significance made a question mark appear above Lapis's head

「Hey, Lily」

「So, Lapis I haven't talked about it for my selfish reasons, since I didn't want it tosilent forever Once I had my resolution, I'd tell you」

「??? Tell me what?」

「…Soains the same lifespan」

「! So, t-that means!」

Unable to control her happiness, Lapis got caught up in her speech

Lily nodded

「That's right, if we getlife as a witch But—」

「Allriiiighttt!! I can always be with Lily! Lily, Lily! Let's get married♡」
