nfidence that she will not fail has also become stronger.

 

‘I can go back.’

 

Her hope had also grown.

 

Even if there’s no one who welcomes her. 

 

Living as someone other than herself became both depressing and frightening as time continued to pass.
It was even worse because she had already experienced the ending a long time ago. 

 

Serdel, who turned her gaze back to the front, suddenly became bitter. 

 

“Giddy up!”

 

She sped up more. 

 

Blenn stared at Serdel, who was ahead.
Rather than enduring the wind, the small and slender back seemed to be pushed down.
As he came to his senses, he quickly approached her side and looked sideways. 

 

While he was disappointed that she no longer looked at him, her eyes steadfastly looking straight to the front were so beautiful.
And he couldn’t take his eyes off of her. 

 

At the same time.

I like it.
Because it feels like we’re alive, and I feel safe.
Because you’re protecting me.

 

Her words rang in his ears.

 

His neck turned red.

 

******

 

“You’ve been going out a lot lately, haven’t you? With that jerk too.”

 

After washing and having dinner Serdel was looking over some documents in her study, Redan, who came in after a few knocks, came to pick a fight.

 

“Brother, judging by your outfit you’ve also been out; where did you go?”

 

“I had something to do.”

 

“I also went out because I had something to do.”

 

“—They say you’re going to a horseback riding lesson?”

 

He seems to have heard from the butler about her schedule. 

 

“Well, you’ve been fond of riding horses since you were little.
You’re afraid of a lot of things, but strangely, you’re not afraid of horses.”

 

Standing by the door and crossing his arms, he looked like he was reminiscing about past memories. 

 

He smiled. 

 

His tired face also brightened a little. 

 

“You don’t know how nervously I watched you, father, mother, and me, fearing that you might fall.
Do you remember? At that time, you stumbled and lost your focus, so father was trying to catch you, but instead, you fell down, and mother saw that later—” 

 

His mouth, which was humming excitedly alone, closed.

 

What should she do if he were hurt by her words?

 

“I don’t remember.”

 

“—Huh?”

 

“I said I don’t remember.”

 

Serdel replied indifferently because she hated the silence.
Of course, this was not a lie.
The warm memory of the past that Redan was fondly speaking of was really not in her head.

“Ah—You’re right, you were too young, so it’s natural that you don’t have any memory of it.”

 

Embarrassed, he scratched the back of his head.
For a while too.

 

“I heard you went to the training ground.
How is it? Are you building up your stamina?”

 

“That’s right.”

 

“Hey, is that all you have to say? Why are your answers always so short?”

 

He came closer while grumbling, then rolled his eyes and pulled a box from his pocket tossing it onto her desk carelessly.

 

“What is this? No way you’re going to say, ‘I just picked it up while I was coming back’?” 

 

As if Serdel had guessed exactly what he was going to say, Redan’s shoulders flinched. 

 

“Do you think your brother is such a lame and boring guy? Tsk.
You drank that low-grade potion, right?” 

 

“It’s good for fatigue recovery.” 

 

“Ha.
Yes, you will never build up your stamina if you keep using that.
Even if you exercise your hardest using a low-grade potion will just return you to your original, weak, state.
Do you drink it knowing that?”

 

When she opened the box, there were several round pills. 

 

“Is that why you picked this up so that I can use it instead of a low-grade potion?”

 

“I bought it! I bought it! Where can you just pick up this expensive thing? Do you know how much it costs? Damn it.
You need to build up your strength.
Even if you have muscle pain, you need to have more strength  to increase your stamina!” 

 

He, who was angry, let out a sigh as he saw her who didn’t respond at all. 

 

Tuk.
Again, he took out another box.

 

When she opened it, it was chocolate.

 

“Because medicine is a bit bitter—take this to wash away the taste.
It’s popular with Young Ladies these days—.
Wow, just how long was that line? I almost spent all day in line.”

 

With a shallow boast, he turned around, touching his nose for no reason. 

 

She was a little confused because she didn’t know Redan would take care of her like this. 

 

“—I will leave.”

 

Redan, acting shy, began striding toward the door then suddenly turned again and approached with frightening momentum.

 

Today, he was so unpredictable.
