Love Letter From The Future

ord, still wanted to fight the solitude that arises when your loved one goes far away, so my heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.

 

But, as always, the excitement seemed to be only on my part.
I send a letter every two days, but I get a reply back once a week.

 

Of course, I know working at the archipelago can be rough.
I am not a woman so merciless as to not understand how heavy the burden you bear.
Because I watched over you right by your side.

 

I saw your pain, sorrow, and even suffering.

 

As your fiancée, not being able to support my lover during such rough and harsh times was reprovable.
I am still deeply reflecting on that.

 

However, protecting Arancourt, one of the three major trading ports of the Empire and a strategic point to protect the west coast of the continent, is also one of the duties of the nobles of the Empire.

 

Ian, you should know.
The aftermath of the last war has not yet withered.

Still, the reason I’m always taking the time to write to you is that I want you to see even a little glimpse of my deep feelings for you.

 

I miss you especially tonight.
Suddenly, the month of the bow has arrived, and the sky is now full of stars dancing all together……just like that night.

 

It was during the hunting festival held in the month of the bow that our relationship deepened.
The memory of that day is still a dear treasure for me, who has always suffered from a sense of inferiority.

 

Come to think of it, that year’s hunting festival had a lot of accidents.
It started when Emma of the Alchemy Department was found unconscious after being attacked by a mysterious beast when she went out to gather materials.
I should have noticed then.

 

It was the same when a group of magical beasts attacked me during the practice class of the Swordsmanship Department.
What would have happened if we hadn’t acted quickly then? Yet nobody cared.

 

At that time, we thought that the forest was the stage for the hunting festival, so we deliberately neglected the proliferation of beasts.
It was an easy decision for a student.
I heard that there was a riot in the Ministry of Education at the time.

 

No matter how much I think about it, I think it was Dean Delemore’s mistake to enforce that year’s hunting festival.

 

But in the back of my heart, I am grateful to the Dean.
Since that day, our relationship grew even deeper.

 

Plus, it was the first time I ever won a hunting festival.
I wondered what would happen when I encountered that monster, but thanks to you, I was able to survive.

 

Even now, I still have doubts.
How did you know that the monster’s weakness was its horns?

 

Every time I ask a question, you just smile and say ‘I have my ways’.
Even now, after 7 years it remains an unsolved mystery.

 

Even after defeating the monster, we were suddenly attacked, but we were the ones who somehow managed to loot the monster supplies.
And now, I’m rather grateful for that day’s attack.

 

Because it was the first time I had a taste of victory.
Even though I have benefited from you and your friends, the memory of that day remains as a turning point in my life.

 

Since that day I started to  develop a deeper interest in you, so in many ways the events of that day became a precious time of my life.
At that time, I didn’t even think I would ever be in love with you.

 

The moon is already setting.
I’ll quickly finish.
It was a fun night to look back on precious memories with you.

 

The barren winter has passed, and a mournful spring has arrived.
It’s been a long time since the last snow of winter has disappeared, but my heart, which is still thinking of you, doesn’t melt even in the spring sun.

 

I look forward to seeing you again tonight, Ian.

 

No, Ian Orabeoni.

 

PS: Recently, I heard that a sow from the Church has visited the island.
I am not concerned, but I am hoping that even if the female cat hovers around you, my Orabeoni will not betray the trust I have in you.
For your information, I haven’t eaten alone with a man since I took over at Arancourt.

 

Then I’ll dream of you tonight as well,

 

from Sepia.

The Year 571 of the Imperial Calendar, on the fifth day of the month of the Bow.

—-

 

 

 

  After reading the letter for several minutes, I was silent for a moment.

 

 

  It was a long letter.
There were no expressions that went against vocabulary or etiquette, the handwriting was neat and it was clear that it was written with great care.

 

 

  However, there was only one reaction that I could show after receiving a letter so full of sincerity.

 

 

  “… … What the fuck?”

  As it was absurd, I swallowed a smirk and crumpled up the letter.
It was just an unexplainable story from start to finish.

 

 

  The ‘Hunting Event’? It was the biggest event of the academy, held during the month of the bow.
However, this is an event held at the end of the month, and so far only the plans have been announced.
How could you know what happened during that day?

 

 

  The name ‘Sepia’ was also strange.
It seems to be referring to ‘sepia flower’, but unfortunately, there was no one around me with such a name or nickname.

 

 

  Above all, the most puzzling thing about this letter is the date on its last line.

 

 

  My eyes turned to the calendar on the table once again.
The number symbolizing the year was written on the translucent background of the bow.

 

 

Year 564 of the imperial calendar.

 

 

  If so, this letter should have flown from the future 7 years later.
That couldn’t be possibly true.

 

 

  With that in mind, as I was about to throw away the letter, suddenly there was a point that caught my eye and made my body stiffen.

 

 

  It was an unread part on the back of the letter.
There was a phrase scrawled in a different handwriting no matter who looked at it.

 

 

 ‘If we don’t protect the future, the world will perish.’

 

 

  The words were filled with regret and resentment, so I had no choice but to stare blankly at the writing for a moment.

 

 

  At first glance, a scene from a nightmare flashes by.
The person who stared at me with blazing golden eyes.

 

 

  But it was only for a moment.
I soon regained consciousness and finished reading the letter.
And throw it into the trash can a little away from the bed.

 

 

  With a click, the paper ball that had once been a letter went into the trash.

  Seeing this, I gulped down the remaining water in the canteen and went to bed again.
Unaware that from the moment I received that letter, my life had already been irrevocably changed.

Translator’s Note:

 

Hello there,

 

I have seen this novel got picked up by one other group.
We were stockpiling the chapters for mass release so that mostly got us screwed, also were unable to get in contact with them since we don’t know their discord id.

 

However, thankfully after looking into them for bit we found out they’re a group who mostly translates with the sole objective that the novel gets some exposure and hopefully gets picked up by other translators instead of MTLers.
So hopefully it will be fine since it will be such a waste of resources we invested into it to translate a lot of chapters of this.
Let’s see how it pans out.

 

Thanks for Reading.
