"Irina, why don't you like to read books that girls like at their age. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

I don't know how long ago the distant years.

The figure that was about to be forgotten, and the faint voice sounded vaguely in the ears.

The unsightly daughter of the former identity of the master of a noble family and the maid was born, and in order to cover up the ugliness of the family, the master transferred himself to this rich man.

After being adopted by this self-proclaimed sage man, the girl's childhood was quite good.

However, the girl has an unusually mature age.

I don't like to be in contact with children my age.

I don't like to play or make trouble......

Quietly all day long, from time to time to help her adoptive father tidy up the housework, is an obedient and good girl.

However, this is a good sign in the eyes of other parents, and they should be proud of it...... Men don't think so, though.

"Why don't you try to be more spoiled with me...... It would make me feel like a failure as an adoptive father. Touching the girl's head, the man sighed bitterly.

It is not surprising that mature sensibility and rationality appear in a normal adult, however, it is absolutely strange to appear in such a girl!

Even if a man has to admit that such a personality is unintentionally very up to the mark for inheriting his name as a sage.

But—do you really want to love her more?

Obviously as a sage, a man has the attributes of a stupid father.

While teaching girls endless knowledge, more often than not, it is secretly putting the romantic love books that girls like at this age next to them.

As a result, the girl didn't even have the interest to glance at it, and she didn't touch it. Instead, I am quite interested in boring cultural textbooks.

To the man's question, the girl shook her head, and the answer she gave was simple: "Those books don't make sense." ”

A man who can't refute: a childhood without love......

...

Shocking pools of blood......

The man lying in a pool of blood, and, having killed the man with his own hands, got the power he wanted, the witch of Rose shook off the blood on the spear in her hand, and left without emotion.

"Ahem-ahem-!"

The seriously injured man was lying on the knee of the grown-up, apprentice, enjoying the treatment of a wonderful knee pillow in the last moments of his life.

Let's go!

Crystal tears slid down the girl's as expressionless cheeks as ever and dripped down the man's face.

"Heh, ahem...... Only at this time, can you see the other side of you......" The man showed a very ugly smile in the eyes of the girl, raised his hand with difficulty, and wiped the girl's face. "Don't shed tears, it's just my doomed ending. "There is no fear of death, no regrets about life, because you have really lived enough.

"Congratulations, Na, from now on, you will be a sage in your own right...... Live a good and happy life, and life is still very good. This is Irina's mentor, the man's last words.

After saying the last sentence in a trembling voice, the corner of his mouth was a satisfied smile, and the man hung his hand weakly.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Lost most of his Sage abilities.

In the snowy mountains, I returned to the grave of my former mentor and former companion, the brave and Grievous.

I have seen the end of myself.

Because I couldn't drag down my disciples, I left early.

Kneeling on the icy snow, Irina wrapped her arms around her shoulders, her bangs covering her face, making it impossible to see her expression.

At the end of my life, I was alone.

"......" trembled uncontrollably.

A gap broke in the frozen heart.

However,

At the moment, no one can fill it.

Except for her......
