In the morning before the other get up, I open my eye and i noted i'm on y/n chest and i was blushing. i got out of the bed and i still blushing, why i was on y/n chest... But it was nice i said as i get ready.

(little time skip)

We meet up with Margot here are your tasks for the day, the market manager left them with me said Margot, thank you said Rean as we look at the tasks. Huh, even fewer than yesteday i said.

Maybe he gave us less work to do because he knew we were going back to Trista today said Elliot, look like it said y/n. Sounds about right, he is a very considerate man. The last  train headed your way leaves here around nine tonight said Margot.

You get those quickly enough, you can have dinner here before you leave said Margot. Haha, thank you very much said Rean, we greatly appreciate your kindness, shall we get started, then? asked Laura.

Sounds good! i said, hmm... Looks like today's tasks are all optional said Elliot, ...Hey, Laura? I wanted to apologize for what I said to you yesterday evening said Rean. Uhh... i said, Rean... said Elliot, oh... said y/n.

...As I told you then...this is a matter you must come to terms with on your own. It is not something for which an apology is required said Laura, that's...not really what i mean, I wanted to apologize for making light of the way of the sword said Rean.

What I said about being a 'dropout' who's never been able to progress past beginner level' was disrespectful, to Master Ka-fai, to the school I follow, and to the path of the sword itself said Rean.

And for those reasons, I feel it was inappropiate of me to say what I said, so...I'm sorry said Rean...If that's the case, then there is one other person you should be apologizing to as well said Laura.

I can't pretend to know much about your personal circumstances, but regardless of one's background or social standing, one should always be able to live pride in him or herself said Laura.

Thus, if you truly did make Light of yourself and your own abilities, that is an act of shame for which you owe yourself recompense said Laura. I... said Rean, Let me ask you a question, Rean. Do you like the path of the sword? asked Laura.

...It's not really a matter of liking it or disliking it, I don't think. It's a part of my life...an inseparable part of who I am said Rean. That's all I wanted to hear, I feel exactly the same way said Laura.

...Laura... said Rean as i just sigh, Eheh, So you two are friends again, then? asked Elliot. Hmm? Were we...not? There was never any rift between us that I knew about... said Rean, Indeed. This was all handled rather neatly, I felt said Laura.

You're both so simpleminded, I feel like an idiot spending so much time trying to devise a plan to get the two of you to make up... i said. Wh-whoa, you did what, now? asked Rean, Heh, it would seem we've caused you undue concren said Laura.

Geez! Can we just all forget about this and move on? i asked, Ahaha... said Elliot as he was laughing. Looks like the ground's dried after the rainfall, so to speak. Glad to see you all looking a bit less gloomy said Margot, I know said y/n.

Margot, we've got trouble! Big, big trouble! said Girl's voice as we look to see to an girl run in. Slow down, Louise! It's first thing in the morning, and you're about poised to wake the dead, you're making such a commotion said Margot.

Where have you been, anyway? You're late! said Margot. I-I'm sorry, I just got caught up on the way here...but never mind that! We have big, big trouble! Something terrible happened over at the market! said Louise.
