Now, Nainiae’s illness was completely cured Riley woke up froe She fixed her grip on the bag on her shoulder and asked the two,

"Well then, shall we get going?"

With her illness cured, Nainiae no longer had liic It would not have been odd if they i about how Mr Ian would panic after seeing your face h! Ah, I want to show him soon!"

It seeed face, or her face without scars to be precise She snickered and added they should go back soon Nainiae, as keeping silence, carefully said,

"… Excusewhileheard Nainiae, she tilted her head to the side

"I am sorry, but can you to return to the mansion first? I still…"

With her hands to her back, Nainiae was fiddling with her hands and blurring the end of the sentence She carefully said,

"I still have so you need to do?"

‘She was cured of the illness, and she even had the scars gone froo back by ourselves first?’

Wondering why, Sera asked,

"Even if you stayed here, you will just get a load of glances"

"No, I aht about what the woman in black said in Riley’s dream She wondered how she could explain all that to her Soon, she thought of a good way to avoid it all and started to explain what it was that she still had to do

"My teacher… No, the doctor who helpedhih he didn’t heal me completely that tiht to visit him"

Nainiae realized she made a mistake when she said ‘teacher’ Nainiae quickly corrected herself and sain and put up a puzzled look on her face

"By any chance, that red haired man who visited the mansion last time?"

It seemed Sera remembered Andal from the visit last time Sera pounded on her palm with her fist and asked Nainiae quickly nodded and said,

"Ah, yes!"

It seemed Sera was convinced by Nainiae’s explanation She turned to look at Riley She figured this could not be helped She said,

"In that case, just us…"

"I’ to say just her and Riley should go back, but she didn’t get to finish the sentence Riley said he will go with Nainiae as well Surprised, Sera asked,

"Young Master, you too?"

Sera was not the only one as surprised Nainiae also panicked and broke cold sweat

"There is no need to be so surprised, is there?"

Riley looked at both ed and said,

"Now that I think about it, I have forgotten to say hello to hi ratitude at least"

Riley e heard hihtly lowered her head and said,

"Yes, I understand"

"I can understand Nainiae, but… Young Master, are you really going to go?"

"What else? Could I go but not for real then?"

Nainiae raised her head and looked at Riley again She was thinking about what the wo to go oal was… finding Riley’s Holy Sword that the woman in black asked to find before the winter ended

"Sera, you go back to the mansion first Please say hello to my mother and Ian"

Riley sood bye toward Sera, wishing her safe trip back Sera extended her hand out as if she needed a moment She said,

"Wait That ht"

After saying that, Riley, as standing next to Nainiae, bumped at her arm with his elbow It seemed Nainiae realized this and ? No! Wait! Then you shouldn’t be sending back just o back, won’t it be better for all to go back together!"

Sera panicked and waved her ar the dimensional portal behind her Not able to stand still, Riley extended his ar Master! Wait! Lady Iris orried, you know? Having just Nainiae alone won’t be enough!"

"She does not have any restrictions on using h as a guard Don’t worry Have a safe trip back"

"This is not about being a guard! As an adult, the problem with puberty…"

Sera was not able to finish her sentence She was pushed by Riley and got sucked into the portal that Nainiae made

Just like hohen they first started the winter trip, she probably appeared all of sudden in theabout soe stuff"

Riley looked at the diue Riley turned to look at Nainiae and said,

"I thought about this, and…"

"…?"

"I’m certain I didn’t start this winter trip just to heal your illness"

Riley rubbed his chin and muttered With puzzled look on her face, Nainiae looked at hi to say next

"Besides that, I a else as the reason why I started the winter trip? Nowadays, my e?"

"…"

Having heard his question, Nainiae vacantly opened heras if he was suffering froetfulness

Even before Riley fell asleep, he appeared to be like a patient with forgetfulness symptoms This was because of the memories from his past life

It was because he could not contain all of the ht?’

It was not certain if Riley are that Nainiae orried about hiht… the purple people"

"…?"

Having heard his words, Nainiae barely hts She looked at hi about the reason why I bothered to get up and go on this trip in this cold winter"

Looking at Nainiae, who had surprised look in her eyes, Riley shrugged and explained why he was being active in this winter instead of hibernating

"It’s because of that bastard"
