oing out too? Okay?”

His bright, calm blue eyes were staring at me.

I didn’t like that look particularly.

I just didn’t want anyone to care about me and act nice to me.

‘You never know when they’re gonna betray you again.
They may not even care about me soon after being nice to me.
I was right to keep my distance to prevent that from happening.’

I had to before my heart became soft for Allen, who was exceptionally nice to me.
Before I open my heart to him.

As always, it was like this for the people who tested me.
The wizards who were only nice for a moment only wanted to use my strength.

That’s how I made eye contact with Allen.

“I-I’m going out too, okay?”

“Yes, get out, and don’t come back.
I’ll take care of myself, so don’t worry about me anymore.”

Sorrow somehow flashed right in front of Allen’s eyes.

“But I’m just worried about you…”

“I’m used to being alone.
People don’t believe me.”

“Okay.”

Allen was still smiling, even though I outright kicked him out.
He stroked my head with his broad, soft hands.

“…I’ll be back soon.”

I tried to say no, but Allen didn’t agree.
It went right on the dock.

“I said no, but he’s coming again.
He really is an idiot.”

He shouldn’t have come.

I’d rather not make him look forward to it.

I’ll just wait again like a puppy waiting for someone else to come.

Stupidly.

“You’ll have to wait knowingly.”

I waited days and days for the words of my mother who died leaving me alone.

Mom, I’m going to sleep for a minute.

The first time my mother died, I waited for her to open her eyes.

When the knights saw my dead mother’s body and dragged her out in a panic.
They believed she would return.

I’ve always waited like a fool.

And I knew that I’ll be waiting for Allen again.

I slammed the door because I didn’t want to look stupid, as if I’m telling him not to come back.

“Don’t you ever hang out with that thing again, you idiot! It’s a shame on the Grand Duke!”

“You are such an idiot, Lexit! I’ll keep hanging out with my sister.”

“Hey, where are you going?”

As expected, I could hear Allen and Lexit fighting outside.

I heard some words, and then I locked the door.
Then I ran to my mother.

Mom, who could hear the noises around her, was still sleeping.
I whispered to her.

“Mom, Mom.
When are you going to wake up? I… like being alone, but I want Mom to wake up too.”
