"Don't you think it's well done?"
Saying that, holding out a piece of paper was a pretty blonde elf that woke me up. She appeared at Mitsugoshi Company late at night in a jet black dress like the darkness of the night.
Gamma took the paper presented by the beautiful elf and muttered.
"Alpha-sama... Um, I don't care."
"I'm sorry, it was hard to answer."
The beautiful elf named Alpha chuckled. The paper that Alpha brought was a wanted list. The figure of Shadow wearing a jet black coat was drawn there.
"Shadow, the kingdom's vengeful enemy. Indiscriminate killing, confinement, arson, robbery... what a bad person."
"Alpha-sama's name is also on Shadow Garden's quest list. It's just a name."
"Let me see"
Alpha reads the other Wanted Sheet that Gamma took out.
"Shadow Garden... this is also a terrible organization."
The light of the fireplace illuminated her profile, and the darkness of the night floated with her unreal beauty.
"But it's a shame you rushed back and it's almost over when you get there."
Alpha burns the wanted documents in the fireplace. She muttered as she watched the black stain spread from the edge of the paper.
"Let's take on the sins of the world, but nothing will change. But we'll do what we have to do. Nice words..."
The Wanted List turned to ash and crumbled under Alpha's gaze.
"Somewhere in my heart I thought I was on the right side, but he wasn't."
A beautiful face illuminated by the swaying flames changed the shadows and gave a different feel to her expression. Sometimes like a goddess, sometimes like a demon. The swaying flames changed his appearance all of a sudden.
"We must respond to his determination."
Seeing Alpha's expression when she looked back, Gamma gasped.
"Collect the seven shades that are free"
"Ha, immediately"
Gamma nodded. With a cold sweat ran down Gamma's neck and disappeared down her cleavage. After a slightly chilly night wind blew, Gamma raised her head and there was no one there anymore.
However, the fire in the fireplace swayed violently.

"That...!"
Summoned in front of the half-burned academy, an ordinary boy with black hair turned around.
"Oh, sorry sorry, I was dazed. What's wrong?"
"Someone told me that I will be able to meet you if you wait here."
The girl with pink hair looks at the boy and speaks.
"That's okay because there's still time until the interview. Class is temporarily closed."
"Um, thank you for the other day."
The girl with pink hair lowered her head.
"Thanks to Sid, you really helped me."
"No big deal"
"I couldn't do anything if I was alone."
"Okay, don't worry about it"
"So, I got a report today. Um, I decided to study abroad."
"Oh, so that bag."
The girl with pink hair had a lot of luggage.
"Yes."
"The academic city huh... That's amazing."
"I was able to do what I had to do. Because my current knowledge is not enough for that."
"Well, do your best."
"Besides... I don't even have a reason to be here anymore."
The girl looked back at the school building with a sad expression.
"I wanted to talk to you more, but..."
"Yeah. Let's meet again someday."
"Yes, see you someday"
The girl with pink hair smiled and passed by the boy.
"Oh wait"
"Yes?"
Called by the boy, the girl turns around.
"May I ask what you have to do?"
The girl smiled embarrassedly at the boy's question.
"It's a secret"
"I see"
"But if it's all over... will you listen to me?"
"...Anytime"
They both smile. and turned their backs on each other and left. A huge thunderbolt blocked the scorching summer sun. The lukewarm wind carried the smell of rain.
"I, definitely..."
Suddenly, riding on the wind, the girl's murmur reached the boy's ears. The boy must have heard a small mumble that no one should have heard. The boy turned and looked at the back of the girl who was getting smaller.
Little drops of water were falling from the sky. It wets her pink hair.
The boy walked away as if nothing had happened.
They didn't look back.
