I... Do....?
You'll see how much i did for you later, for now get home pack up and rest
Nnn....
That also means- you too Saki
Kuuu.... Caught right handed before even planning anything...
For Mao- I'll ask them to help bring your stuff there
Th- thank you very much.... Doc...
Alright! It's time for me to work my ass off!
Nnn?
Im gonna make this trip as perfect as possible, especially with the higher ups
What do you mean?
Wait you're coming right doc?
You'd think im coming- but shaking hands with some of them already gives me a near death experience
E- ehh...?
Last time i did it to a person about 20 years old- i went to their hospital the instant i touched them...
S- scary....
How does that work...?
It's their grip strength, that dude he hand shaked was their leading military commander of the sort
Haaaa....
So... We're going in different paths....?
Yeah- but im sure we'll meet again, coincidence or not
...
..............
Don't die, Doc
Are you worried?
Who wouldn't be...
Well, I'll try not to die, i have better plans to do after all
......
W- well then, see you next time.....
Yeah....
Let us meet again...
.....
And so we parted
Im not sure if she felt it too...
But i felt like my heart was missing
Atleast a part of it
Well- that was until i looked at her
She was crying
Tears dropped down her cheeks, little by little
But...
Im sure she has faith in him, that he won't die
So what is she crying about...?
Could it be that she....
Miss our days together....?
Hey, Shizen...
Hueh!? Wh- what?
Shizen flinches, then bounces back
I... Can't wait...!
She smiles, with tears from before dropping down her cheeks
...Yeah.... Me too!
No, this is...
Excitement..
She's looking forward to it...
Maybe... It's just me afterall....
Aahhh....
My chest hurts...
I... Really want to tell her...
But... Im sure im just a bother....
She got the trip to look forwars to afterall
...
...........
We then packed our things, and eventually, the day comes
You both ready?
Yeah...
I think that's all....
Fufufu~ what a cute couple~ Let me help with those
You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.
Th- thank you very much.....
You can show gratitude by showing love to my pets~
E- ehh...?
Pets...?
Yeah- Im a beast tamer afterall~
I- i see....
But... You're human....? Aren't we the only ones that can use magic...? Well, and them too...
Ah, you probably don't know~ you'll see later~
Nnn?
....okay.....?
They get on the car
...
Hey Shana...
Unnn....?
About last time...
Nnn? Last time....?
....Uhhm.. no, nevermind...
...okay..?
...
Hey you two
Have you seen your school yet? Eversince you wake up i mean....
Not yet....
Nope, i had no friends anyways
I see... Want to visit the school then?
Ehh? Can we do that?
I mean... I can name a few person to say goodbye to
Then~ we're going to your school~!
I wonder if she'll recognize me... Wait, it's the opposite....
Well... I don't have anyone so i think i'll be fine
Shana said, nonchalantly
Ehh? Not even Mayu sensei?
W- well... I guess I can say goodbye to her....
A few dozen minutes pass by
We have arrived~
I can hear them saying "who is that"....
Hehe~ well- let's just say our goodbyes
Shana gets outside
Sh- Shana!?
Nnn? Ah- t chan...
You're... Alive....
Tears poured down the girl's cheeks
Yeah...
Shana hugs her
Jiiiiiiii~~~
This- 'whisper' 'whisper'
Muu?
Sh- Shana...?
Nnn? Mi..... Chan...?
Shana slants her head
Yeah... It's me....
You changed quite a bit.... That hairstyle looks really great on you
And you... Haven't changed at all....
What's the commotion? Eh- you're-!
Muu? Taka sensei?
Yeah- Shizen, She have been worrying sick about you...
Mu...? Is that so...?
So much that she visited you every week once...
...
But.... Seeing Shana so happy....
Go
....?
Atleast say goodbye, before you regret it
Ariette gave Shizen a push
Well...
Come with me, i know where she is right now
...Thanks, Taka sensei...
Well.... I can imagine today is like a tomorrow for you, but it's been 2 years for her...
Yeah....
Excuse me, Mayu san, can you hold class for a bit? I'll change for you
...Taka... Sensei...? Do you need something....?
Yeah- well- it's personal for you, you'll get it when you step outside class
Class, Im sorry, but the class teacher will be temporarily substituted by me. This is a really personal matter...
Taka closes the door, when Mayu steps literally outside the door
Sh- Shi.... zen....?
Tears starts pouring down, s
Mornin' sensei~
B- but.... Weren't you.... Aren't you...
Im fine, sensei! And Shana too, She's still outside, talking to her friends..
You two.... really are a miracle....
Sensei, im sorry but... I haven't done that homework you told us to do... Tehee~
.... That's what you're worried about...?
Y- yeah... I mean.... You're way too strict with the deadlines....
Well i may be... But did you know... How much i was worried about you...!?
..i know... but... why... me...?
Well... You're... Unique...
...
First of all, you had the gut to tell me that you're a lesbian
Th- that's....
Secondly, you are way too athletic
Th- that's a good thing!.... Right....?
Lastly, you're.. my beloved student... You know...?
...yeah....
So, why did you came back..? Are you going to....?
Im... sorry... Sensei... but i... will be transfering school...
So you're still going to school...?
Yeah...
Then, i wont pry, but i have 2 requests
I'll do it, no matter what it is
One, do your homework. i know, its a pain, but you have to do it
That's what you're asking for...?
Two, take care of Shana for me okay?
...hey, Mayu sensei..
You gonna ask me something?
We're... gonna meet again... right....?
Of course, even if its in heaven or hell, I'll find you, though i won't make any promises
....S- sensei... Last time i....
Yeah- i remember~.... How did it go...?
I.... couldn't say it afterall....
Well... Maybe it's not time yet....
......
Well, you're eventually going to say it, but until then, do your best okay?
Yeah.. Thanks,... Mayu sensei... for everything....
You don't need to thank me, i learned quite a lot from you too, Shizen~
She said with a smile
Sensei!
Shana~ how are you~?
Im feeling great! How are your relationship with Taka sensei?
H- hueh!? Not here!
Muuu? With Taka sensei..?
N- nothing! It's nothing!
Sensei gets closer to Shana and bends down to her ears
Whisper* whisper*
Aahhh...! I see!
Then- i probably need to go back to class-
Eh? But i heard Taka sensei said he'd take over..?
Is that so? Then- I'll see you off then
Yeah...
Don't forget to sleep well you two~
Especially you~
Knocks on Shizen's head
Y- yeah...
Don't play games too much okay? Don't sacrifice your sleep time for games~
Yeah.....
Otherwise you'd sleep at class~
.......
Sensei...
What is it?
Im probably not coming back... Sensei..
Ehh? Wha-...!
Shizen puts her arm around sensei's neck and puts her to wear an amulet with a red crimson blazing stone
I might lose it, so hold on to it for me okay?
Yeah. I'll return it to you, when you return. That's a promise
I've already given you my number so feel free to call me for consultations okay?
Yeah- that i will do!
Shizen, You seem pretty close to sensei huh..
Uhh... Y- yeah... Sort of...
Sensei, remember our pact?
Yeah- from two years ago right?
When you need help, call me!
E- ehh!? What kind of pact is that?... I want to help sensei too!
Ehh....? Then- let me rephrase it... Uhh...
Anywhere, anytime, whenever you need help, call us!
Shizen, one more thing
Muu..?
I... Contacted your parents...
...did you meet them...?
Yeah... He's... Amazing, but i can't tell you anything right now... All i can say is... That your dad is alive, and your name...
Isn't Yuuko, it's Izuko
-------------------------------------
Well, take care, Shizen, Shana!
Sensei, thank you!
Sensei, for everything, thank you very much!
Yeah- w- wait... Ariette!?
Hnnn..? Ah- Mayu chan!?
Waaah.... What a coincidence!
Yeah... Fufufu~
Nnn? You know each other?
Ariette was one household with me when her parents passed away..
Yeah.. Brings back memories...
Oh- you're still wearing that?
Hnn? Oh- of course! It was a gift from my imouto after all~
Mayu chan, you might as well join us
B-but i got class to-
It's fine
P- principal!?
I already had Taka to replace you
But... I never would have thought you two would survive that accident
....yeah....
And also, Shana, you probably are looking for her right?
!! Yeah! Do you...-
She left this school- when she saw you in a coma, she was shocked, right after that year, she just dissapeared
...
... Is she... Okay..?
Who knows..?
W- waah th- the time! We're gonna be late!
See you next time, teach
Yeah- take care! Shana! Shizen!
In the car ---------------
So.. Reirkyuu san, considering your reactions, you haven't met Mayu sensei in a while?
Yeah-
1 year, 7 months to be exact
Is that so..?
Uuuu...
Shana? What's wrong?
I feel.. Conflicted...
Muu...? How so?
I feel.... Bad for leaving school... But... I feel excited to be with them....
W- wait by them you don't mean-!
Mayu chan, calm down-.. Well.. Shizen is a special case, but Shana is as ordinary as you
Special case...?
...
.......
Shana and Shizen looked at each other
She gained enormous energy power when channeling, raised from CC to AA in moments of time
Th- that's insane!
Yeah-
Mayu sensei... Are you...?
No, im not a magician like you. I just got involved from a certain someone, i wonder who?
Looks at Ariette
Teehee~ My bad~
...
......
Shizen glances at Shana, our eyes met
Are you interested..?
Yeah....
Well long story short, im not actually from this side of the world, so i grew a tail...
What does that have to do with Reirkyuu- i mean, Ariette san?
Well, she had this bright idea to give me a magic crystal for looking into a person's aptitude, though its a bit old fashioned
Then it glowed, and guess what her magic was~
Muu.....?
