"The fact that I’etsI own that is the most precious to me"
She couldn’t explain the reason for the handkerchief being a little wet It was because Willa wiped off her own tears with it Nainiae was vacantly staring at the handkerchief
Willa said,
"It’s basic function is handkerchief, but you can also use it as a scarf, so… You are a girl As beco yourself look your best too"
Nainiae had a look on her face She ondering what this was She was also wondering what Willa was saying With that look, Nainiae looked up at Willa
"…?"
"You are not like how you look… No, it’s nothing I was not talking about your scar"
Perhaps she realized she didn’t say it correctly Embarrassed, Willa corrected herself in the middle and continued
"You cry a lot You did earlier too, so… I believe this handkerchief will be of use to you"
Unlike the advice she was giving, Willa turned her head away because her eyes were tearing up She quietly wiped it off with her finger and ended her sentence
"You use it It’s a gift"
"A… gift?"
Willa nodded and stepped aside To front of Nainiae, who still didn’t quite figure out the situation yet, Ian tumbled forward
"Ku… Kuhu here right now, read the atht?"
Pushed by others to stand in front of Nainiae again, Ian barked at the people behind him to say that they should just shut up Ian put his hand toward the sword resting at his waist
"… Here Take this"
"Mr Ian?"
Ian brought out the sword that he loved Along with the sheath, Ian presented the sword to Nainiae
"When a swordsman trust another with his sword, you knohat thatin Iphalleta, a house of sword

"In thisthere with a blank look on her face With a serious look on his face, Ian continued
"… I’ll wait for your return"
Having heard those words, Nainiae’s grips on her hands, which were holding the handkerchief and the sword, tightened
"It’s not forMaster"
The serious look in Ian’s face didn’t last long
Perhaps his sensitive heart was at its liet wet
"You must return"
Ian also wanted to say that there is no other talent that’s better suited to look after Young Master than her, and it will always be However… Ian was not able to hold it anymore He started to sniff like a child
"When you return, h! I told you not to, but again! Again! You are ruining theHis body was pushed aside by someone Nainiae blinked her eyes
"Seriously! You are aon a day that’s a happy day? Nainiae isn’t going there to die She is going there to be cured! Why are you acting like you are never going to see her again?"
With his crying, Ian was going to ruin theat the maid that pushed him aside, Nainiae mumbled her naize first I wanted to give you a present too… Unfortunately, I found out about this today I didn’t have enough time"
Sera smiled aardly in front of Nainiae It looked like she was scratching her hair Along with a sound that see was untied, Sera walked toward Nainiae
"Now that I think about it, I didn’t get to give you a good ribbon on the day you arrived"
The sound just noas Sera pulling the ribbon that was holding her hair to the back
"That day, because ere not close yet, I gave you a really old one on purpose… but you didn’t coave about hoould be good for Nainiae to start caring about looking her best Sera stepped forward to stand right in front of Nainiae
"Nainiae, I’ll apologize again I’ave you a worn out ribbon that day Actually, I felt pretty guilty that day It hurt me in the conscious when you looked happy about the ribbon and told me it was pretty…"
Sera held the ribbon on her hand Sera raised her hand above Nainiae’s shoulder and started to fiddle her hand on Nainiae’s hair on the back
"If you asked ive you a different one, I would have acted like I’ave you a new one I’etting very close Their faces were close enough to hear each other’s breathing Nainiae, with overjoyed face, barely responded,
"Yes, I know"
"… When you return, when you do, I’ll prepare another one that’s even prettier"
Sera untied the old ribbon on Nainiae’s hair and replaced it with her own Sera’s voice was, before she realized, tearing up like Ian
"Yes"
"… Hup"
Although she was finished with tying the ribbon, Sera was not able to take her hands back Not able to hold it anyed Nainiae
"Sera, I can’t breathe"
"Just for a moment… just for a moment, like this"
It was so Sera won’t have to show Nainaie her crying face Nainiae knew that

"I mereat sense of sht? You can’t run You better not dare to co up, Sera s Sera slowly stepped back, and… Other servants of the reeted Nainiae
"Excuse me…"
Willa, Ian, Sera… Not just the three, but others were also welco Nainiae She vacantly looked around
"All this… just what is it for?"
Nainiae was still confused Looking at her like that, others started to tease Nainiae
"Nainiae, I thought you said you learned some common sense while you were at Rainfield?"
"What was that for? It see in the sense department!"
It looked like they were justpeople’sat the people’s heart flutter

Nainiae, who had her mouth open vacantly,overwhelmed with emotion
She cried her eyes out earlier in front of Riley, but it see!!"
"Ugh, this is not good! Ms Willa, you ? I don’t have anything to do with this"
"You made her cry earlier!"
"That was then, and this time, I think it is purely because of Mr Ian or Sera"

Listening to the people talking out loud to each other, Nainiae, with her face full of all the happiness in the world, said without hiding her tears,
"… Thank you"
It was because she wanted to properly face the people that she cherished
