Mornings in the forest are deep and tranquil. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Emilia, who had rushed to the edge of the pond with Ram's prepared breakfast in her hand, was laying out a blue and white cloth on the grass. Lan, who was sent aside, could only be a silent spectator with Red Lotus.

"You don't have to send breakfast to you, Amy. Lan scratched her head, a little uncomfortable with the other party's care.

"Are you going to grill fish to eat again?" The girl who tied her hair into a bunch with a headband was wearing a lilac dress at home, "Lan, too, you should pay attention to your physical condition a little." ”

Without giving the other party time to reply, Emilia who was busy with green sat on the tablecloth, raised her hand and stretched her waist to reveal the soft arc of her body, "It's time to eat, Lan, Red Lotus." ”

"Good work, big sister. Don't worry, I'll eat it all. He lifted his hind limbs and put them on Lan's ankles, gave his partner a red lotus of color, and ran to the girl's arms with a smile.

The breakfast on the tablecloth is a little simple, but it can make people feel tangible. The morning sun shines on the lake, and the cold breeze carries the fragrance of flowers and plants.

Silently watching Lan eat breakfast in small bites, a subtle feeling was crumpled in her heart, and the girl with her hands on her knees let out a pleasant laugh.

"What's wrong?!" Lan hesitated to look at his demeanor, but didn't find anything wrong.

"Stupid. Emilia lowered her head whispered, then looked up and smiled smugly, "Arashi, I've passed the trial of the Sanctuary. ”

"Well, well done. Arashi smiled and nodded, not at all surprised by the other party's words.

"What, can't you be more surprised? I'm going to surprise you. Emilia wrinkled the tip of her nose, her pink lips pursed slightly. is rarely revealed, like an ordinary girl.

Because of your efforts, I have always watched it. Lan, who didn't say this, smiled and raised the milk in the cup to take a sip, but her eyebrows immediately frowned slightly, "Amy, is this milk also soaked by Ram?"

"No. Emilia smiled and shook her head, smugly raising her finger to herself again, "It's me!"

"Really, big sister, I want it too. Red Lotus rarely stretched out her paws and made a begging gesture to the girl.

"Okay, wait a minute. Emilia, sticking out her tongue, took out a small empty dish from the basket, poured the milk from the jug into it slightly, and placed it in front of Red Lotus.

"How's it going?!" Emilia looked at the red lotus with anticipation.

"Good drink!!! "The red lotus, who raised her head, shook her mouth.

"Really?" Emilia blushed slightly, her left hand involuntarily playing with the ends of her hair, "When it comes to cooking, I'm a little unconfident, if only I wanted Rheinharut's god of food to protect me." ”

"No, no, no. A beautiful girl like the eldest sister, even if she is a little lacking in cooking, it can't affect your beauty at all. The red lotus, who was full of sincerity, replied in sonorous and powerful words, "Besides, the milk is really delicious. ”

"Yes. Lan nodded heavily, rarely agreeing with Red Lotus's words.

"Then I'll do it for you at noon. The girl with her eyebrows curled up and a look of surprise in her eyes said.

"This ......" Honglian looked at Lan in embarrassment, and for a moment she didn't even know what to say.

"Good. ”

……

……

On the evening of the third day.

"Amilia, come on. ”

"I'll leave it to you through the trial, Mistress Amilia. ”

Feeling the trust of her partners, Emilia looked at Ram and the others who had specially accompanied her to the cemetery, and showed an extraordinarily happy smile.

"I'll try. ”

The girl who left this sentence once again walked into the corridor alone.

As with the first trial, when consciousness was pulled into the endless abyss, Emilia knew that the trial called 'The Impossible Now' had begun.

The scene changes arbitrarily, and the candle flame at night is replaced by a golden sun. Emilia looked around, only to find herself standing in a familiar streetscape, Lugnica's royal capital.

The girl who recognized the direction moved lightly, and because she could not figure out the current situation, she simply paced down the street with the mood of revisiting the old place. Then an imperceptible wind passed by her.

Feeling the vibration of the hand pocket on the clothes being slashed by the sharp blade, the girl who subconsciously reached out and touched the pocket, and really couldn't remember what she had just lost.

Wait, this scene? This street, the figure who just ran past, wasn't it the day he stole his badge from the king's capital, Firut, and why?

A distracted Emilia looked up at the long street, but she couldn't see any familiar figures.

No, why do I think this scene is familiar? Didn't I just receive an order from the Magi and prepare to return to the Merthers realm?

"Amilia, what's wrong with you?"

Parker, who had not seen him for a long time, revealed his figure from the crystal on his chest, and looked at his daughter who was standing alone with a worried expression.

"Parker, I...... No, nothing, a burglar just stole my badge. ”

The girl decided to let go of the disobedience in her heart and chased after the thief who had already left. Walking through the streets of the royal capital, she rescues Caiyue Pleiades, who is being bullied by the little hooligans, and helps the lost little girl find her mother.

In the face of the incoming 'gutbreaker' Elsa, with the help of Rheinharut's power, a girl named Emilia retrieved the badge.

After returning to the Merthers territory, she took in the Pleiades Natsuki who helped her find the badge, and then worked hard day after day for the king's choice.

I got up at seven o'clock in the morning to wash and comb my hair, ate the breakfast specially prepared by Ram alone, and returned to the study to start studying. Towards noon, she would go out into the courtyard and talk to the elves in the air. Wait until after lunch, then go back to the study to continue studying.

This process continued until the evening, and when Parker also returned to the elven realm to rest, she could spit bubbles in the shower alone, and when the only leisure time passed, she would go to bed and rest in peace, waiting for the next day to come, and continue to work hard to save her mother and everyone.

But why am I so sad?

Emilia was lying on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling above her head.

Why do you feel like you're missing something important......

This complicated thought after returning from the royal capital has been lingering in Emilia's heart.

In order to confirm her doubts, Emilia got up and stepped out of bed, pacing boredly in the room. Her confused thoughts threw her mind into confusion.

When the coolness of the evening breeze brought her back to reality, Emilia found herself standing on the balcony outside her room for some reason.

The moonlight was beautiful tonight, and Emilia's gaze fell somewhere on the second floor, an empty balcony. She felt that there should be someone there......

"He's supposed to be drinking, his feet dangling out of the balcony. The frowning look made it impossible to guess what he was thinking......! He should have a conspicuous hair color, and maybe he is still a very powerful person. The temper is not very good...... But the smile will be very gentle. ”

Depicting a fictional character in words, Emilia's gaze becomes more and more trance-like, misty, her voice weakens little by little in the evening breeze, and the oppressive silence finally arrives.

He ...... Who is it??"

Emilia, who asked this sentence, couldn't help but spread her hands, and the tears that slipped fell into her palms, scattering into even finer particles. (To be continued.) )
