From afar, he watched her frolic. The waves endlessly sparkle in the sunlight, and she laughs joyfully.

"Master Phyllis, are you going out?"

The other day, Ida suddenly came to the house and pouted at Phyllis in dissatisfaction. It was just when Phyllis and Lucille were about to go out. It wasn't unusual for Ida to drop by unexpectedly, so neither of them were surprised.

"Sensei taking me to the sea." Lucille, looking bashful, shyly replied.

Ida's dissatisfaction grew. Although he was supportive of the two, it was annoying to see them so affectionate.

"My Master Phyllis...!"

Sensing that it would be troublesome to deal with Ida, Lucille hurriedly said,

"I have to check if the doors are locked!"

and disappeared from the living room with her travel bag.

"You both already went somewhere the other day too... and Master Phyllis you are someone who never leaves the house...!"

Phyllis glanced sideways at the resentful Ida.

"It wasn't such a strange thing."

While he was certainly happy living in this house with her, he also thought it would be extremely foolish to let her life end with just taking care of him.

"I can't let her go without knowing the beauty of the sea."

I wanted her to enjoy life to the fullest and experience the vast, beautiful world.

Ida said nothing more.

From a terrace some distance from the beach, Phyllis watched Lucille playing in the waves. She chased the receding waves and ran away from the incoming ones. She had been doing this for some time now and showed no signs of getting bored.

When she saw the sea, she marveled at its vastness, was captivated by the movement of the waves, and her eyes sparkled with endless wonder.

It was the same as the night when the World Tree sang. She was easily enchanted. Phyllis found her simplicity endearing.

Even though he had seen it countless times before, the beach and sea before him seemed somehow fresh and invigorating to Phyllis this time. The scenery he wanted to show Lucille appeared even more vivid and captivating to him.

"Sensei!"

Ah, there she comes running. The light shone through her hair and it illuminated the outline of her skin making her look dazzling.

"I picked up a shell! Can we eat it?"

Phyllis' cheeks softened into a smile.

"Sadly, it's not edible."

"Oh... hehe..."

The waves recede, leaving behind the sound of her laughter. Nothing could ever steal away this beauty.
