“All right then, let’s just quickly get permission from Lord Edward.”

Makoto brightly declared. I wonder where the gloomy mood we had earlier went.

Still though, I wonder if we can just suddenly get an audience with him, considering he’s the crown prince and all.

Normally, I would think there would be some sort of procedure since it would be impossible without schedule changes.

Makoto faces me and extends his hand.

I wonder if he’s suggesting to go to the castle together holdings hands or something. Though, I feel like it would be a bit too embarrassing walking around together the capital holdings hands with him.

Or does he perhaps think I’m going to run away or something…?

I continuously looked at his hand for a moment, completely ignoring his plea to hold it. Makoto then grabbed my right hand, as if in a hurry.

“Kuro, Shiro, if you will, please.”

“Meow”

As he called out their names, both a completely white and completely black cat appeared out of nowhere.

I haven’t seen them around, so I wonder where they were hiding just now.

The cats elegantly approach Makoto.

“All right, let’s go then, Lyra. Hold on tight.”

“Huh?”

Makoto gripped my right hand with a bit of strength and pulled me towards him.

He pulled me towards him, throwing me off balance; I tripped and fell snugly inside hir arms.

Contrary to his slender appearance, his hold on me was firm, and it didn’t seem like I would be leaving him any time soon.

At that moment, I truly came to realize that Makoto was indeed a man and not a woman. His strength and the firmness of his body confirmed that to me.

…Right, Makoto is a man.

With those thoughts in my mind, my chest suddenly started thumping.

And just like that, my vision started shaking a little.

“It seems like you still haven’t fully mastered teleportation magic, huh.”

“Huh?”

Before I knew it, both Makoto and I were in Lord Edward’s office.

“I had Kuro and Shiro use their powers, you know.”

He said with a smile on his face.

Oh right, Makoto and Yuki’s cat can use teleportation magic.

Remembering that, my face went red.

I mean, I honestly thought that he wanted to walk all the way to the castle while holding hands with me.

Ahhh, I’m so embarrassed.

I want to bury my head in the sand this instant.

I want to just hide somewhere, right now.

“Makoto. Did something happen?”

While I was pitying myself with embarrassment, I heard Lord Edward’s calm voice.

It’s been a long time since I’ve last seen him, but he seems to have lost a bit of weight.

Though, I guess it’s more accurate to say that he looks completely worn out, as opposed to just simply losing weight.

“I have some information about Rachel.”
