There were people gathered in the middle of the Mori Forest. A colourful aurora embroidered the sky beautifully.

Elisha and Cassis were far apart from each other and waited for Evelyn and Allen to come.

"I mean you."

Then Elisha whispered to Cassis. Cassis looked at Elisha without expression.

"You don't have any feelings for Evelyn, do you?"

"Are you crazy? Why would I like her?"

Cassis crumpled his face and denied it, as if he were listening to a strange noise.

Then Elisha widened her eyes and asked.

"Really? You really don't like Evelyn?"

Cassis turned his head as if he was annoyed by Elisha's questioning.

A moment later Elisha muttered to herself.

"That's weird. Then why do you keep staring at Evelyn?"

"When did I?"

Asked Cassis, suddenly catching her eye. Elisha answered with her eyes wide open.

"You've done it every time? You only saw Evelyn when you met my brother."

"......"

Cassis closed his lips to the fact that he didn't even know. Then Elisha smiled convincingly.

"That's good. You shouldn't be interested in the future."

"Well. That's my heart."

Cassis refuted the claim ignorantly.

Then Elisha blinked and shook her head.

"No. Don't pay attention. Evelyn is going to marry my brother."

Those words again.

Cassis felt strangely upset whenever Elisha linked Allen and Evelyn.

He's boiling from the inside. So that's why. Somehow he didn't want to do that.

"I don't want to?"

"What?"

"I won't do it. Promise."

Cassis answered bluntly. Elisha frowned at his reply as it sounded dreary.

Cassis glanced quietly toward the forest. It was because it was time for them to come, but the two still didn't arrive.

It was then. A familiar figure was seen from the forest side.

Cassis sprang to his feet while talking to Elisha. Elisha also found Allen and stood up.

Then Elisha, who saw that Evelyn was not beside Allen, asked with a wondering tone.

"Brother? What about Evelyn?"

"What? I thought she was back because I couldn't see her. Evelyn isn't here?"

Allen was bewildered and looked around. Then Cassis growled with a stiff, hardened face.

"If you can't see her, you should go look for her, not just come back?"

Allen looked at him with astonished eyes and responded in a voice of great seriousness.

"I think I made a mistake. It was a familiar forest, so I thought she went back first because she was tired. I'll go find her, so wait here a little..."

"You don't need to, I'll find her."

Cassis bumped Allen's shoulder roughly and ran into the woods.
