103 Theodore's Perspective

A lot has changed since that encounter.
My family didn't say anything to me when I put on the hood of my robe and stopped withdrawing, but it seemed like I was relieved inside.

And when Rachel came to the mansion, she began to call me as if it were a matter of course.

"What are you showing me today?"
"Then, shall we use the water from this fountain to make various animals come out?"
"Yes! I want to see it!"

This guy seems to be very interested in magic, and if I show him magic, his eyes will shine and he will be happy with anything.
That's why I was able to remember the feeling that magic was just fun, and the days I spent with Rachel made me feel like my worries were gradually being wiped away and healed.

In order to meet Rachel's wishes today, I decided to bring out an animal that would make her happy.
As expected, her cat-like eyes were sparkling with anticipation, and she seemed to be paying attention to what would come out of my hands.
At the sight of Rachel, the edge of my mouth involuntarily rises.

When I held my hand over the fountain, the water formed a large mass and floated with the movement of my hand.

"Amazing!"
"You can touch me."
"Really? Wow, cold!"

When I called out to Rachel, who was curiously looking into the mass of water, Rachel happily reached out to the water.

"Well, first of all..."
"It's a sheep!"

After creating a sheep out of a mass of water, Rachelle stares intently at the sheep while roaring with joy.
While confirming it with a sideways glance, I will change horses, dogs, cows, cats, etc. one after another.
Seeing Rachel exclaim with joy every time the water changes shape, my cheeks naturally relax.

"Next and Last"
"Beautiful! It's a bird!"

Making the shape of water into a bird and flapping its wings around Rachelle, Rachelle moves her gaze toward the blue sky as if chasing the bird.
At that moment, the water pops in the air with the movement of my hand.

"Wow, that's so cool! We've got a rainbow!"

A large rainbow appeared in the sky, as if to watch over us, along with the splashes of water that glittered in the sunlight.
When I moved my gaze to Rachel who was standing next to me, Rachel, who was happily looking at the rainbow, looked at me as if she noticed my gaze.
Right after that, he smiled at me with a smile.

"Thank you"
"No, it's nothing like this."
"I wonder if I can do it too."
"Yeah. You're good at water, so if you work hard and learn, you'll be able to do it."
“Really?
"Oh, I'm looking forward to it."

At this time, I thought that the days spent with Rachel would continue like this.
I thought she would come over to my house from time to time and play with my brother, Lien.
Like today, Rachel will be happy to see my magic shining in her eyes.
And eventually, I will teach Rachel magic and so on...

I vaguely envisioned such a future.

But when I was 14.
The news that Rachel's grandmother passed away changed that future.

A month has passed since Rachel's grandmother's funeral.
When my grandmother was about to leave the Marcel Marcel household to return the things she had entrusted to her, I forced her to accompany me.

The first thing that caught my eye when I visited Marcel Marcel's house was the garden.
A lot of seasonal flowers were so beautiful that I was overwhelmed.
Looking at the flowers blooming beautifully, I could see Rachel smiling happily in this garden, and I couldn't help but smile.
