Summer nights, slightly cool. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Emilia, who slipped out of the house in a simple skirt, walked on the silent and uninhabited road, feeling a little uneasy and a little excited.

It's like a child who does something bad for the first time, and the accelerated heart lets complex emotions spread throughout the body from time to time. The security of the royal capital has always been good, and with the royal election council that just ended today, most dignitaries and dignitaries will choose to visit the royal capital.

In this case, the guards who walked by the street from time to time became the object of Emilia's careful evasion. She didn't want to spread the anecdote of the Chosen One sneaking out of the palace and visiting the royal capital at night tomorrow morning, that wouldn't be good.

It's just that I'm going to leave the royal capital tomorrow.,This time I'll go back to the territory.,The next time I want to see Lan, I don't know when.。 Facing the sky with dark clouds and only the moon visible, Emilia was hiding in the alley to convince herself.

The patrolling guards had already walked in front of her, and Emilia walked out of the alley quickly, like a spirit leaping in the night, approaching her goal little by little in the bright moonlight.

When they reached Midtown, there were a little more pedestrians on the road, and Emilia covered herself with her cloak firmly on her body, and quickly passed past them with her head down.

A street, a corner, and another street, and finally the Lan family's house appeared in front of him, and the lights that had been extinguished made the girl a little disappointed.

This is a residential area in Midtown, with no pedestrians around, and the quiet environment gives Emilia plenty of time to stand at the corner of the street and look out at the window on the second floor.

Is Arashi sleeping in her room or in the courtyard today? Wouldn't it be nice for her to suddenly disturb her? With such a question, Emilia approached the house step by step.

The gate of the fence was closed, and standing on the street, there was only a courtyard wall between the girl and the house in front of her. The evening breeze blew through the deserted streets, and she stood there like this, turning her head sideways as if thinking about something, hesitating about something.

"Arashi. ”

Biting her pale pink lower lip, she shouted softly. The voice of the silver bell, which is said to be a voice that you will never forget once you hear it, gently drifts away with the wind.

The night wind was gusting, and there was no response except for the chirping of frogs.

"Arashi. ”

The girl shouted again, an intoxicating blush on her face, shyness flowing through her body with warmth.

"Arashi. "Arashi. ”

Mustering up the courage to shout twice, Emilia finally whispered into the still dark room, "Stupid." ”

The girl who turned around in her arms suddenly let out a smart laugh, and the moonlight was still there, stretching the shadow of her about to go away.

Lan who was lying on the bed opened his eyes in a daze, not knowing if it was an illusion, and he felt that someone was calling him in his sleep. Looking at the red lotus, who was not moving at the foot of the bed, Lan propped herself up and pushed open the window with her hand.

Along the long street, Arashi looked at the gate of his house, and there was no sign of anyone visiting in the silent night. But at the end of the street in the distance, there was a figure that was fading away.

And......

"What are you doing. ”

With her hands on the windowsill, Lan tilted her head to look at the silver-haired girl who was sitting on the courtyard wall, and at the moment she was worried about whether she should jump into the courtyard.

"Ah, are you awake?"

Emilia, who was sitting on the wall and raised her head, stuck out her tongue embarrassedly at the window on the second floor, looking ashamed of being caught red-handed for doing bad things.

"Yes. Arashi nodded, looking at Emilia with a smile in her eyes, as if she saw the good girl of the past suddenly make a rebellious move, with a little surprise and helplessness.

"That...... The ......," Emilia explained, pondering, "had just been approached by a patrolling guard. ”

She said.

Lan laughed out loud, and in the girl's uncomfortable gaze, he grabbed the cloak at the head of the bed, supported the window edge with his hand, and turned out the figure on the eaves that slanted downward, and rode down the wind.

Covering the upper body of the **** with a cape, Arashi, who stood in front of the girl, looked up at Emilia with playful eyes, and above her, the bright moonlight shone quietly.

Because of the appearance of the other party, Emilia who was riding on the wall didn't know how to react for a while, but hung her head slightly, letting the ends of her silver hair fall to her ears.

"Haven't you come down yet?" Lan asked with a smile.

"I ...... I...... I'm getting ready to go down. "The girl didn't look over, and when she slipped out of the house, she would never have expected to meet Arashi in such a situation.

"You bow your head. The girl's voice was as thin as a gossamer.

"What?" Arashi didn't understand.

"I'm wearing a dress!!" said Emilia, embarrassed to lower the hem of her skirt with her hands.

Only then did Lan realize that the girl was still wearing her usual clothes, and her long slender legs were standing in front of her wrapped in white pantyhose.

"Oh. Holding back a smile, Arashi turned his back.

With the crisp sound of landing, and waiting for the girl's 'okay' words behind him, Lan turned his head to look at Emilia who was standing timidly in place, fiddling with her bangs.

"Let's go to the courtyard. Arashi, who said this, walked forward.

The lights in the living room are back on, and the darkness that envelops the first floor fades in the blink of an eye, and Arashi who walks into the kitchen asks for late-night visitors.

"What do you want to drink?"

"Bar. Emilia blinked, learning someone's tone, "Wine with moonlight, the more you drink, the more flavorful it becomes." ”

Arashi, who shook his head, took out the sweet wine that he had not finished drinking at the last party, and walked back to the girl and sat down.

"Feeling bad?" Placing the sweet wine and cup beside the girl, motioning for the other party to take care of himself, Arashi did not ask why the other party was here at this time.

"It's a bit annoying. Emilia nodded, "And I'm going back to the territory tomorrow, so I guess I don't have time to say goodbye to you......"

Arashi nodded, opened a bottle of his favorite wine, and smiled, "It feels like the last time you said this was yesterday." ”

"That's there. Emilia pouted, sipping her glass, "It was eight days ago." ”

"It doesn't seem like it's been a long time. Arashi said this, causing the girl to laugh.

"It's been a month and eight days since we first met. Emilia smiled at Arashi.

"Yes. Arashi nodded, but didn't say much, a silent tacit understanding wandered between them, and the light from the living room behind them cast the shadows of the two in the courtyard.

In the silence, Arashi turned her head to look at Emilia with a melancholy expression, and suddenly asked, "Because of Caizuki?"

"Yes. Emilia hooked her hair, "Sometimes I think it's weird, the Pleiades always give me the illusion that I've known for a long time, I don't know how to describe it, it's like reacquainting myself with an old friend, there is an inexplicable cordial ......"

Listening to the girl's beautiful voice, Arashi thought of what Betty had told her about her relationship with Shatila, "Who can tell the magic of fate." ”

Arashi reached out to fill Emilia's glass, vaguely indicating that she didn't want to talk about it.

The girl blinked, everything was wonderful, and she understood what the other meant, although there was some curiosity hidden in the meaning of the sentence.

In the silent night, the two of them quietly drank to themselves, but they didn't resent each other's quietness, but there was some taste of fun.

"Arashi, it's good to know you. Stretching her white neck, the silver-haired girl looked at her partner, and the smile in her eyes was like a faint moonlight, which made people feel soft.

"Don't talk stupid, drink bars. The swordsman, shaking his head and smiling, got up and walked into the living room, and pulled out an object and brought it to the girl.

"What is this?"

"Recorder!" said in a slight tone, "Actually, its original name was Xiao, but I personally don't like this name, especially when blowing it." ”

Smiling at the girl who didn't understand, Arashi didn't explain much.

"In my hometown, when a friend is leaving, it is blown off. ”

"Your hometown must be beautiful. ”

Lan didn't answer, just put the instrument to her lips, and the sound of the flute floated from the night......
