"why?"

"Well... is it because my dad and brothers aren't too happy about their daughter having a boyfriend?"

If they knew that I had such a deep relationship with Sage, they would all be so shocked that they would fall over, clutching the back of their necks.

Including Kaidna Set, Arban, Rosaria, Baon, Durias, Orca, etc.

A look of discontent crossed Sage's face.

"Well... Still, it seems like Hestia and the other escorts have already accepted reality to some extent."

At first, there was a shaky atmosphere as if they didn't like it.

Still, I didn't show it on the outside because I knew that thanks to Sage, I could safely complete my transformation and live my life.

"Please understand even if I don't contact you often. I will also try hard to persuade you in the meantime."

"......It doesn't seem like it will be easy. When?"

"Well, I'm not sure about that."

But if you keep persuading him, won't Kaid accept it? After all, Kaid is the biggest mountain.

Since long ago, he had been wary of Sage and had been telling him to be careful and to only be friends for the rest of his life...

I smiled brightly.

"It'll turn out okay."

maybe.

Sage chuckled as I pounded my chest, swallowing my words and telling myself to trust him.

Will the day ever come when I can make a formal visit to the North in its original sense?

Perhaps that will happen in the very distant future... ... .

"I will work hard to invite you to the South."

Then Sage's eyes opened wide. Soon he laughed out loud and brought their foreheads together.

"Okay, I'll be waiting."

The day to return to the South dawned. Everyone was in high spirits.

And today, Muhela and I had breakfast together.

"It's a little sad to see you go, Irene. The castle was bustling while you were here."

"I feel sorry for you too, Muhela."

"It's a shame, but I think it's the right choice to go back at this time."

Of course, Muhela must have been paying attention to this matter too.

"I don't think that will happen, but if the North needs it, they can ask for it."

"yes?!"

I was so startled that I almost dropped the knife. She tilted her head as if to ask what was wrong. Her eyes also looked somewhat uncomprehending.

"I guess it's burdensome."

"I would be very grateful, but if that happens, it would cause damage to the North..."

... ... Wouldn't it be big?

Muhela waved his hand, saying, "Don't talk nonsense."

"It's the same here. If there's a problem in the South, there's someone who'll turn a blind eye and run away."

Ah. You're talking about Sage. It seemed like Muhellah also knew about my relationship with Sage.

Or maybe he had already noticed Sage's feelings a long time ago.
