"Oh there they are" Y/N said noticing her two friends who was about to leave

Collei hummed in response as Y/N waved her hand at the two whose making their way to the girls "Ah, we've been waiting for you two" Collei greeted

"I...uh....well.." Collei started hesitant about what's she's about to say as Y/N patted her back to give her reassurance "..nevermind"

"I guess I should just wish you two safe and successful journey" Collei told them with a smile as Y/N nods her head "I'm sure you'll have a successful journey waiting for you"

"Thanks for waiting here just to see us off, Y/N and Collei!" Paimon exclaimed "We're headed to Sumeru city"

"We'll be back to see you again, Collei" Aether said giving a smile before glancing at the girl besides Collei "I'm sure Y/N will keep you in some company" Aether said with a slight tease laced in his voice

Collei chuckled and smiled "Don't worry about me, I can take care of myself. My condition won't be getting in the way of my duties. I want to be a Forest Ranger, after all. It's all up to me and the others to protect the rainforest here!"

"And I'll be sure to help as well" Y/N said joining in with a bright smile, Collei nodding in agreement before she frowned deeply

"And uh, well I'm sorry...I should've told you both about my condition when we first met. I just wanted you two to treat me as a normal friend, not some girl who needs your sympathy..." Collei said sadly before smiling again with understanding

"But, I guess now I understand that the most important thing is for friends to be genuine with one another"

"There's no need to apologize, Collei! We should be thanking you for trusting us enough to be your friend, and sharing your past with us. We're probably still gonna worry about your condition, but that's because we're friends and we care about you"

"Thank you, that means a lot... Uh, before you leave, I have something for you" Collei said as she pulled something in her pockets

"Oh? What is it?" Paimon asked while they look at the paper in curiosity

"It's my recipe for Pita Pockets! I told you that I'd give you a copy, remember?" Collei remarked with a smile

"My handwriting is a little messy, though Y/N helped me a little bit so please don't laugh" Collei scratch the back of her head, embarrassed

"Yay, thanks Collei! Now we can eat those scrumptious little pitas whenever and wherever we like!" Paimon exclaimed brightly with excitement

"I hope that whenever you eat them, you'll both remember your time here in GandharvaVille" Collei stated as Y/N smiled "And be sure to remember the one who invented it as well" Y/N said grinning

"Of course, we will!" Aether said with a chuckle

"Well then, I. Trainee Forest Ranger Collei, and my beautiful Lover Y/N! bid you both farewell. Please visit Gandharva Ville again. The rangers will always be ready to assist you here"

"Hey, Y/N" Collei called the girl beside her who was lazily reading a book

"Hmm?" She hummed now looking at the Collei "Do you know what this tree called?" Collei asked as she points to the picture shown in the book

"The book is in another language I can't quite understand so..." Collei trailed as Y/N squinted her eyes and looked at the picture

It was a beautiful tree with pink leaves instead of green, the girl smiled brightly as she recognize it

"Oh, it's called Cherry blossom tree or Sakura, you'll be able to see one unfortunately it's in the Grand Narukami Shrine in Inazuma" She frowned before she smiled at Collei who was looking at the picture with wonder

"Say, you haven't seen a cherry blossom before?" Asked Y/N to Collei who nodded it's head

"I've only seen it once when I was a kid, our grandfather took us to Inazuma" She told Collei with a small smile "It was so pretty and majestic at the same time!"

Collei smiled at the girl with blush coated over her cheeks as she stared at Y/N who was daydreaming about the pink tree

"I wish I can see one.." Collei mumble which was heard by the girl next to her snapping out of her daydream

"I'm sure you will someday!"
