Vol 3 Prologue (2/2)
Sayuri gave a puzzled smile
After the dog had finishi+ngSayuri’s lunch, it quickly ran away from the court
“Let’s go”
“Sure”
The both of the at them and left the court
“Let me treat you to lunch to make up for that”
Mai and Sayuri walked to the cafeteria
Sayuri iven her lunch box to the stray dog
Mai ordered two servings of beef rice and placed one of them in front of Sayuri
“Here, beef rice”
Sayuri widened her eyes in surprise, but soon smiled happily
“Kawasumi, you must like beef rice”
Mai didn’t knohy Sayuri was s tiht it funny that Mai picked the food without asking her what she wanted But till now Mai was confused how this was funny
“Thanks for the food”
Sayuri clasped her hands politely and had a bite of the beef rice
“It’s tasty”
“Yeah”
Looking at her happily eating it, Mai’s chest would become a bit more warm
“Is that the girl who fought the dog with her bare hands?”
“I heard so like a sherever she goes”
The murmurs came in crisply, but Sayuri looked she was only with Mai in this place She was looking at Mai, s
This person…
The inconceivable foreboding Mai had when she first saw Sayuri had beco spread in her heart
“…my thanks”
Mai picked some beef in her bowl and placed it into Sayuri’s bowl
Mai had a hunch that even if she didn’t explain, Sayuri would understand this was the extension of her gratitude for helping her to give her lunch to the dog And also soratitude Mai didn’t kno to describe
“So it’s the proof of our friendshi+p”
Sayuri also placed beef on Mai’s bowl Friendshi+p’s proof—this was also what Mai wanted to say
“Thanks…”
Mai ate her beef rice slowly Beef rice was great on normal days, but that day it was even better
And so they becoood friends
Because Sayuri ith Mai, people who circled Sayuri immediately halved in number
Nevertheless, Sayuri didn’t seem to care She didn’t liked to be the centre of attention in the first place anyway
“I’irl”
Sayuri would always say, s
If that was the case, then Mai would be an extreirl
Mai always reckoned Sayuri was a lot ss Mai didn’t know; for exa to put at a side to look at, but you can also choose your own television shows And if you have a CD you can listen to s Mai learned it from Sayuri
The two of the time
Like her foreboding, Sayuri entered the depths of her heart
But only the thing about monsters Mai had kept secret, even to Sayuri
She wasn’t afraid Sayuri would leave if she said
She just didn’t want to make Sayuri involved
Because only Mai should shoulder the destiny of hunting monsters
Probably
Only Mai…
After twoThis was her last winter
Why?
During this time, monsters had become more ferocious
Do they plan to raduate from here?
No Those raduate Only students do
But then why?
My te
So
So
It is a scene that comes before my eyes
A heat field shi+ning under the sun
It is a memory that pains my chest
What is this?
Mai closed her eyes forcefully, and reopened them
Before her was the school at night It was the place she fought with monsters If she was careless, she would be defeated
Shutting away the scenes in her ently towards school
