"There it is, a stupid thing prepared by a stupid guy."

I-isn't it too much to call a complete stranger stupid?

What did he give her? I was curious, but I couldn't see it because they already took it away from our location.

"What do you want to do with that chimera?"

Lucas suddenly asked.

I-is it just me, or are you really giving me that 'do you want me to get rid of her' look?

"It's really a nice weather today. Look, the flowers are in full bloom."

"No matter how pretty the flowers are, they cannot be compared to Miss Magrita's beauty."

I looked down at people enjoying the picnic.

"It's impossible for this to always be the case."

But even at this moment when I said that, I knew that I was just being greedy. I wish we could continue the peaceful days like now without having to draw to a clear conclusion....

But that would mean we could only maintain the current status quo. And right now, Jeanette wouldn't understand.

"Well, it'll be sorted out soon anyway, so don't worry too much."

"What? What does that mean...?"

"Let's go play, too."

At that time, Lucas said something that I didn't understand, so I asked back, but Lucas held my hand faster than I could finish.

"Oh, wait!"

As always, my pleas didn't work. The next moment, I was stepping on air, holding Lucas' hand. Petals fell from the flower tree we were sitting on.

"Oh, there must have been a bird nesting there." I heard them whispering from below when the flowers fluttered.

"Warn me first before you do that!"

"What's wrong with you? Like an amateur."

Of course, I've taken a walk with Lucas before... To be precise, it's not just a walk, it's 'a walk in the sky.'

Anyway, I didn't get scared just because I'm walking in the air like right now. Lucas knew it, that's why he just snorted at my scolding.

"But where are we going?"

I was scared because, for some reason, the direction we were heading to was suspicious.

"You said earlier that you wanted to check out that lake, right?"

"No! Even so... Ugh!"

Lucas grabbed me and started going down the middle of the lake!

The lake that glittered like a silver tray in the sunlight looked pretty, but I didn't mean I want to see it right in front of my nose!
