I want to protect you in this hand.

"Oh, there's Arsh again"

Will said.

"Oh, sometimes you get anxious, Arsh is"

"It's the only way. Because this time Arsh is really tired."

Mal said it gently. I guess. We all worked together.

"It was Ash who was responsible for his life."

Am I right?

"In the meantime, let's get out of the treatment center tomorrow and even tour the Imperial City, Arsh"

"But"

"You don't have a seriously ill patient right now. It's okay because more doctors are available to treat it."

"Yeah, let's go, Cyril"

"Well, we're going to go to Dad's for a little while."

"I need to see my father too. Shut up."

'Cause I want to talk to some more people in Findaria.'

"Then don't let me and Arsh play in the city."

Three moons were still cold, but the two of us went out to the city dressed in thick clothes. Take a peek at the store and stand and eat at the stall. I went into the store properly and had lunch as well. And I even came to the park by the castle. I can see the Empire from here.

"It's just people and buildings."

"Right."

"Even in the Wang capital, when I climbed the walls, I could see the plains on the other side."

"Right."

"Cyril is"

"Hmm?"

"When you graduate, what do you do?

"Yeah, Arsh, come here"

"Yeah?"

Cyril sat up on the dead lawn and said come. And when I held me in from behind like when I was little, I put my chin on my head. Warm.

"What do you think we're gonna do?

"Um, Findaria, I guess, because I've never been"

"And then?"

"Er, south realm. Then the North Territories. And Kirik."

"Ha, you know, it's all where Arsh wants to go"

"Hmm? Really? Maybe."

"I want to go far."

"Yeah."

I know. Since I was a little girl.

"With Arsh"

"I'm with you."

"Then what bothers you?

Do what?

"Someday"

"Yeah."

"If I want to go somewhere different"

"Yeah."

"When Cyril and I split the road,"

"Yeah."

"When I'm alone"

"Yeah."

"What do I want?"

"Right."

Cyril breathed heavily.

"Arsh is stupid, isn't he?"

"Yeah?"

You don't have an idiot.

"I told you, I want to go far with Arsh"

"Yeah."

"The rest of my life."

"Yeah?"

"There's no way we're gonna split up or be alone."

"Ah..."

"Well, let's be a family"

"Yeah."

"The two of us, let's go anywhere"

"Yeah."

"Go where I want to go, Arsh, too."

"Yeah."

"I'll do what Arsh wants to do."

"Yeah."

"That's how we'll live together"

"Cyril"

"Yeah?"

"Don't go ahead."

"Yeah."

"Don't leave me alone."

"Yeah."

Cyril hugged him and his lips gently touched his cheeks.

"Arsh, it's bright red."

That must be because of the sunset.
