Leto, who came out after washing up, was surprised to see me lying in his bed, and soon approached me.

"Good, you made a good choice."

He laid down beside me naturally, combing his long hair. I felt awkward and weird when Leto, who had big hands and stature when he was in the cave, got smaller again.

It wasn't that I didn't like Leto's appearance now, but I wanted to capture his true self more in my eyes. His strong arms and big shoulders wrapped around me.

Yeah, it feels so vivid, but it can't all be a dream.

"Leah... In the cave. You were in a male form, weren't you?"

"Bree."

He called my name instead of answering.

"Huh?"

"You didn't think I was a man just because I turned into a guy, right?"

...What did he mean?

"What?"

"I'm a woman, Bree."

What? He's already been caught being a man, it's all known, so what was he talking about all of a sudden? I was speechless, but Leto made an excuse that didn't even make sense.

"I must have taken a strange potion. No, I stepped on a strange bead and became a man. I was quite surprised, too."

"..."

"So you don't have to be disappointed in me. Because I'm a woman."

"What do you mean disappoint!"

"Anyway, I'm a girl."

He didn't want to get caught yet? Didn't he open his heart to me?

"So, go to bed now. Bree."

He closed his eyes immediately without giving me a chance to speak.

'What is going on...'

What, what is this situation?

At first, I was dumbfounded, but now I'm a little angry.

I know you're a man!

'You are completely a guy!'

What about the confession? He's not saying that the confession was also an illusion, right? The kiss?

"You... Y-You traitor!"

I jumped up and glared at Leto, but he was already fast asleep

someday. Study hard, let's meet soon."

Was this a message to cheer us up, or was this a message telling us to go to hell?

What we gained from being at the magic institute were nothing but injuries and difficult training. It was a bonus to see the dark faces of researchers who are always chased by something.

It's hard to say that it was a valuable experience, it was just one hectic day after another.

In fact, all I've really gained was muscles added to my boney self.

After all those hardships and catching the attention of an Archmage and the Emperor, all I wanted was to rest now.

Though I do wonder if they know... Their intention must be to discover talented people, to nurture them, and to keep them by their side, but that position would ultimately break the talented mind.

'I can't believe I'm finally leaving.'

We went down the mountain and took the train for about five hours, we arrived at the central train station in the capital.
