I blinked my eyes.
There was a part that needed explanation in her remarks.
âWhat do you mean by ruining!?â
I think the only thing that had been ruined in her story was the rag-like unknown sorcererâ¦â¦â¦
As if she had read such a thing in my head, the sorcerer added, with a faint smile on her face
âItâs a simple story. Iâm very good at reading, and there are quite a few things I can tell just by looking at it.â
At that time, I could see Alex, who had just gone to call Ash, coming back.
Behind Alex, who opened the front door of the mansion, a familiar, welcoming, and heart-fluttering face naturally caught my eye.
âDo you remember, Princess? The words I said when I cast a magic spell on the princess.â
ââ¦â¦.?â
I turned my eyes back to the sorcerer.
Her voice dropped whispering. Thanks to it, the words that followed were only heard in my ears.
âI said I was grumpy that time. The reason why I help the princess.â
ââ¦â¦.â
âBut actually, he was too desperate that I was so mean at that time.â
ââ¦â¦.â
âJust at the assumption that he may lose as it is, the whole world surrounding him was shaken and gradually collapsed.â
At first, glance, what the sorcerer said sounded like a mystery. As it contains abstract narratives, understanding all of her words immediately felt like a task.
But one thing I could tell right away.
Thatâs Ashâs story.
She was talking about Ash now.
âAfter I saw it, I was ashamed of my childish grumpy behaviour, and the result was this feeling of debt anywayâ¦â¦.â
ââ¦â¦.â
âSo I was looking for a little less of a way to get there, and I happened to have a chance. Thatâs the story. The end of my explanation.â
âNoonim.â
The cape fell on my shoulder as soon as the sorcerer finished speaking.
I raised my head. A fine golden pupil was looking down at me.
Until a little while ago heâd been asleep, but there was no sign of sleepiness at all.
âYou should have woken me up. You shouldnât be out alone like this.â
It was me who forced Ash to sleep for a moment, knowing that he had been awake for nearly two days.
I shook my head. Then I touched the end of the cape and opened my mouth.
âI was out for a minute. To say hello.â
âHello?â
âOh, soâ¦â¦sheâs the one whoâll be working for us soon. So I said hello in advance.â
I looked around and glanced at the sorcerer.
She still bowed her head with a faint smile.
âI will serve you with all my might.â
âMy lady, have a good trip!â
From a distance, I heard Bessiâs voice.
Bessi was waving her handkerchief toward this side with Alex, who was standing in the distance, so as not to interfere with the activation of magic.
Next to Bessie was Sir Davery and the butler, who bowed silently.
Suddenly, I burst into laughter at her enthusiastic farewell.
Bessi was the person who was the most fiercely opposed to me when she first heard of my intention to go south.
She jumped from her seat with the spirit of rolling back.
And then, as soon as she heard additional information that Ash would accompany me, she changed her opinion immediately, like flipping her palm.
In any case, it would be hard to find a person who has the same attitude as Bessie.
âI used to feel bitter and depressed because of that.â
But now Iâm laughing. Even though I knew it was real, I couldnât believe it.
âThen shall we leave?â
After being sent off, the sorcerer looked at me and asked.
I nodded. The preparation for departure was ready.
No, there was no such thing as preparation. When we get to the south anyway, everything we need will be provided by the landlord.
All I had to do was take care of myself and Ash.
Oh, I just wrote a letter to Ari while I was waiting a while ago.
Just in case sheâs worried. Since I canât go to see her right now, I sent a short message to reassure her.
âOkay. Soâ¦.â
With that, the sorcerer poked the middle of the magic circle with her magic wand.
Then, the complex patterns forming the magic circle slowly dyed into the light from the centre.
It was a mysterious sight. Iâve never seen a sorcerer do this, especially with a magic wand.
As soon as I looked at her, the sorcerer said.
âNow hold hands, please.â
ââ¦.â¦?â
âOr you can put your arms together. Anythingâs fine, just physical contact.â
Itâs good order, but itâs so sudden. In a moment of embarrassment, I stared at my opponent, and an explanation followed.
âThat way you can safely move to the same place. Iâll skip the principle because itâs boring and complicated.â
Aha.
I understood. And then I hesitated for a moment.
âIâll just grab his hand, right?â
Well, yeah. Thatâs the most common thing of all.
Holding hands is something weâve done before. To be honest, it was no big deal.
But I felt like I was suddenly conscious of what was happening, so I hesitated awkwardly, and Ash suddenly lifted me.
ââ¦â¦..!â
I swallowed a scream that almost popped out automatically and looked ahead. Ashâs beautiful jawline was seen right under my nose.
âLetâs go.â
Ash hugged me like that and said calmly.
I got red and hot to my ears. I canât see my face, but I can assure you that my ears were all red.
The sorcerer looked at us with the expression of seeing a pair of cockroaches and quickly recovered her facial muscles.
âYes, thatâs good. At that point, one person will never fall out of the coordinates on the move. Thatâs an excellent choice. Then please donât move for a moment and stay in that position.â
Then the sorcerer began to chant the spell with a magic wand in her hand as if she was trying to invoke magic.
In the meantime, I glanced at Ash again.
Even in this position, I can see the side of Asheâs nose, which seems to have been made well, including his straight nose, very well.
My heart leapt with embarrassment. And at that moment I remembered the words of the sorcerer that I had just heard.
âBut actually, he was too desperate that I was so mean at that time.â
âJust at the assumption that he may lose as it is, the whole world surrounding him was shaken and gradually collapsed.â
Thatâsâ¦..she must have been talking about Ash, right?
As it seemed, it was all out of the blue except for Ash. As expected, the person sheâs referring was probably to Ash.
âThen the one he lost, because of the circumstances at the time, maybe it was me, myself.â
After all, desperate and deep hearts mean Ashâs heart towards me.
ââ¦â¦.â
My heart throbbed.
Is this a lie-like reality? I was so happy that I even had a glimpse of fear.
ââ¦â¦Ash.â
âYes.â
âI mean, this, right now, itâs not a dream, is it?â
Maybe this is all a mirage.
Iâm still trapped in a dream and Iâm afraid all of these are just illusions that will disappear when I open my eyes.
Iâm afraid of that anxiety.
If thatâs the case, Iâd rather not wake up forever.
âWell, I donât know exactly what youâre talking about, butâ¦.â
Ash answered my question, which came out of the blue, in a low voice.
As there was a gap in his answer, I felt as if I couldnât breathe.
âIt would be bad if this was a dream. Since Iâll regret it.â
The very next moment, the sorcerer lifted her magic wand slightly with a shout, âItâs done!â and then slammed it down.
At the same time, the light wrapped around the magic circle became a pillar and rose, eating the backyard up.
I thought it was fortunate that the pillars of light blocked my view. Since I can cover my face that has turned red enough to embarrass me to look in the mirror.

The sorcerer surprisingly came out at once and moved Ash to the southern destination.
I thought it would take at least a couple of times in the middle to relax through other villages, but she must have been a much more genius than I had guessed.
âWhoo-hoo, I told you Iâd do my best to serve youâ¦â¦cough!â
ââ¦â¦.!â
However, after using magic, she showed some aftereffects for a while, but fortunately, she did not vomit blood or faint, but stumbled a little and recovered quickly.
âAfter all, not everyone can be the princeâs person.â
I was inwardly impressed.
Anyway, thanks to the voluntary sacrifice of such a genius sorcerer, I and Ash arrived in the south on time.
Itâs not only not too late, but rather too early.
The chick unit that Ash dumped on the street still on their wayâ¦because it was the next day that the subjugative force arrived in the south.
And there was one little happening in the lordship where I and Ash stayed during the day waiting for the subjugative force.
As soon as he saw Ash, the lord, who somehow turned his eyes, was motivated to set up a meeting with his daughters that day.
The four daughters of Count Dortridge, including his youngest daughter who saw Ash late, have not collected their glaring eyes of greed since Ash first appeared in the south land.
