44 Chapter 40 - Small or Far (2/2)

Arata nods his head, ”Some advice, for what I've seen in the future, take note of your enemies, no matter how small or far they are.”

Miyu thanks him and stands up, ”We will leave you be, we don't want to mess up your seeings.”

Ryota also thanks Arata before following Miyu down the path, back to Miyu's room.

Ryota is leaning against his chair, always glancing out the window. He keeps worrying that someone will catch him in Miyu's room. He doesn't want to make any trouble for her, even though he's a little mad that she's being so formal with him.

He thinks to himself, 'Why do you care? What's so important about this one girl? You're the first prince, the heir to the throne, you can have anyone you want! So stop worrying about her and move one, you stupid Ryota!'

Ryota looks over at Miyu, ”What do you think Arata meant about his advice?”

Miyu taps her finger against her chin, thinking, ”Make note of your enemies, no matter how small or far they are,' that could be my sister's, Kasumi and Hanae. They might be planning something that might ruin my, or even your, life.”

Ryota shakes his head, ”It makes sense, but don't you think the answer is a little too simple? I do believe that it could be your sisters, but remember, he also said, 'far.' Your sisters are close, even though they are small, so they might not be it.”

Miyu agrees, ”Yes, you're right.”

Miyu yawns, ”I'm a little tired. How about we talk about this later? You can go to the school and butter up sister, she can tell you what you want to know!”
