Swoosh.

Nagi lifted her trembling little hand and placed it on mine.

One hand held her sister Skada’s, while the other rested on top of mine. Nagi smiled brightly, a look of pure happiness on her face.

“It feels amazing.”

“What does?”

“I thought Rain Unnie wasn’t someone from Earth.”

“…Why?”

“Because you’re so beautiful. I thought you might be one of the fairies that only appear on the Astria Continent.”

Even her words were beautiful.@@novelbin@@

I gently wrapped my hand around Nagi’s tiny fingers.

“This much is okay, right?”

“Sniffle, yes. There’s only one more surgery left now.”

Skada wiped her tears away and carefully held Nagi’s left hand.

Nagi’s illness—

Her muscles stiffened throughout her body, and even the slightest touch caused her immense pain.

For six long years, Nagi had lived only within the confines of this small hospital room.

Her frail body made me want to hug her, but this was the limit of what I could do.

I felt my eyes sting, a warmth rising to them.

“Guh…”

“Rain Unnie, are you crying?”

“H-huh? No!”

I hastily turned my head and shut my eyes tightly.

Kris gently wrapped her arms around me.

“We’ve been there before, haven’t we?”
