26. Unfortunately, there was no next time

Chapter 26. But unfortunately there was no

Tail was speechless for a moment.

That’s what Chloe felt as well.

Someday when the war comes to an end, this relationship will end too.

Tale recalled the abbot’s words at the same time.

“Really cruel. It is painful to keep things that can never happen again as memories.”

That’s right.

You have to forget it.

I’ll never see you again. It would be better to cut it out than to have a little hope.

But Tail couldn’t bear to say that to Chloe.

I wanted to present good memories until the end as I had a hard time in this impoverished place.

He thought it was his last role.

Tail’s mouth slowly opened.

“If Chloe-sama loved you that much.”

Fall leaves were blown away by the wind.

In the picture-like space, Tail continued.

“If that person felt that precious heart.”

Tail smiled lightly.

“I will definitely never forget Chloe.”

Maybe. It will be hard to forget for the rest of your life.

It will be hard to let go of this emotion, this atmosphere, every moment and moment.

For a while, it will be painful, lonely, and painful.

But in the end, you will have no choice but to forget.

“I’m sure it will.”

Even so, he himself had no choice but to lie.

Taylor smiled brightly.

“So don’t worry.”

“… It’s reassuring to hear Tale say that.”

Chloe answered while looking at the clear sky.

“Thank you.”

“Yes.”

Tale smiled brighter than ever.

* * *

When I returned to the monastery, the sun had already set.

‘It’s 10 o’clock.’

It was time to send Chloe back.

Tale took Chloe to the tent.

Just before entering the tent, Chloe smiled and said.

“Today was fun. Tail. Let’s go play again next time.”

Tale responded with a light smile at Chloe’s words.

“Come on in.”

Tak.

The door to the tent is closed. Tail couldn’t take her steps for a while.

He stared at the tent for a while, then immediately walked off to somewhere.

Not far from Chloe’s tent.

There was a familiar tent.

It was Cecilia’s tent.

He took one deep breath and knocked on the tent.

Smart smart.

“My lady. Good night?”

But there was no answer from inside.

‘What is it?’

Tale grabbed the door and opened it.

The door opened gently.

I couldn’t feel a single presence in the black darkness.

‘Aren’t you there?’

Where are you at this hour?

Tail came out of the tent with a puzzled mind.

‘Let’s look around.’

He walked quickly to find the missing Cecilia.

I’ve been looking for it for so long.

‘No….’

No.

In the vacant lot, in the backyard, and in the auditorium on the first floor. It was nowhere to be seen.

‘Where is this little girl going?’

At that time, in Tail’s mind, perhaps… A thought came to my mind.

‘Are you in my room?’

She often waits for Cecilia in her own room when she herself comes to work outside.

‘Let’s go for now.’

Tail moved quickly.

For Cecilia to wait for herself.

***

However.

“… There is none.”

In the dimly lit room, Eugene was the only one who was getting ready to sleep.

Eugene asked at Tail’s strangely disappointed look.

“Why? Who are you looking for?”

“Ah. Miss Cecilia. You can’t see it anywhere.”

Where did this lady go?

She started to get worried.

Then, Yujin tilted her head and opened her mouth.

“Miss Cecilia? Were you in the kitchen earlier? It looked like you were making something.”

Tail’s eyes widened at Eugene’s words.

Come to think of it, she didn’t check the kitchen.

“Me. I’ll go to the kitchen in a minute.”

“Ah. For a moment! Tail!”

Before Eugene could handle it, Tail walked out of her room at a brisk pace.

Ujin, left alone, murmured softly.

“I saw Cecilia-sama at 5 o’clock….”

I would have gone somewhere else by now.

“Ehh. I do not know. Let’s go to sleep.”

Eugene then finished her well-prepared work.

* * *

“Okay….”

Failed.

It’s a failure.

That’s perfect too. Heavily. Very.

“… It’s ruined.”

Cecilia spread her small hands and buried her face.

Again.

Why didn’t God give him something called dexterity?

From noble mtl dot com.

Cecilia was deeply despaired.

That would be the case too.

‘How can I give this to Tail….’

There was something charred piled up in front of her.

To be precise, it was a cookie.

But they looked like food that would kill you instantly if you ate them.

“I can’t make anymore….”

Besides, I couldn’t make more because I had already used up the dough.

Cecilia let out a long sigh.

I was supposed to start making it at 5 o’clock and serve it as dessert after dinner, but it’s already 10 o’clock.

She tried to give her a late-night snack with her last dough, but it was ruined.

I peeked to the side and saw a mountain of failed cookies.

“What should I do….”

If you give me a cookie like this, Tail will only curse you.

No, I’ll eat a nice tail without saying anything, but I’ll curse inside.

As Cecilia grunted and grabbed her hair, she heard a sound next to her.

Wow.

‘Huh? Wrong?’

Cecilia glanced at her.

And there stood Tail.

“Te, Tail!”

A surprised Cecilia called him.

And then her gaze turned to Tail’s hand.

In his hand was a familiar cookie.

“Ah! Don’t eat that! It tastes awful!”

However, Tail answered with a mumble as if he had already eaten a bite.

“Who says the taste isn’t good?”

“Huh?”

“The cookies are delicious.”

Tail gulped down and put the rest of the cookies in his hand into his mouth.

Seeing him like that, Cecilia’s eyes lit up.

“Cookies…. Delicious?”

“Yes.”

Cecilia smiled brightly at Tail’s answer.

It was like a laugh with all the world.

“And Miss Cecilia.”

Tayl asked as he took another bite.

“Do you want to go on a picnic with me?”

This was the purpose of Tails’ search for Cecilia in the first place.

She had a place she wanted to go with her.

Cecilia’s expression brightened at his words.

“A picnic? Just the two of you?”

“Yes.”

“Except Chloe?”

Now that Chloe doesn’t exist, they just call her name.

However, I didn’t want to point out this part today.

“Yes. Just the two of you.”

“Kyaa! Good!”

Cecilia jumped up and down.

“Tomorrow morning? Or tomorrow afternoon?”

Cecilia asked as she took off her apron. Tails shook her head.

“No.”

Tail’s eyes deepened.

He looked at Cecilia, her eyes twinkling, and continued her words.

“Today.”

“Huh?”

As Cecilia tilted her head, Tail smiled lightly and added her words.

“Let’s go now.”

* * *

Tale went to the mountain behind the monastery with Cecilia.

A mountain is a mountain even if it is gentler than other mountains.

It was harder to climb than I thought.

Cecilia, who had been following her, sighed with difficulty.

“Te. Tail. This is a picnic right?”

She gasped for breath.

“Heo Eok. Huh.”

Tail held out her hand towards her.

“Catch it. Miss.”

Cecilia held Tail’s hand tightly.

At the same time he pulled her up.

“Please hold my hand and follow me.”

How much did it rise like that?

“My lady! It’s normal now!”

Tails shouted happily, but she couldn’t hear the words properly as Cecilia was struggling to control her body.

“Ha ha. Ha.”

I wiped my forehead from the pouring sweat and looked in front of her.

“Ooh…. Wow!”

Cecilia’s eyes widened.

From the top of the mountain, I could see all the small villages in the distance.

Moonlight broke down over the huddled villages.

The night market hadn’t finished yet, and the lights made of magic stones were all gathered.

Overall, it was a really beautiful night view.

Everything was beautiful.

The smell of this grass, the rustle of the wind, the cold air and even the tail next to you.

Everything was ecstatic.

For the first time, Cecilia felt her heart pierce and tremble at the same time.

It was the first time I had such feelings.

Her tail opened her mouth towards Cecilia.

“Did you go up well?”

At Tail’s low words, Cecilia said, unable to take her eyes off the scenery.

“Yes. Too.”

Her tail called her as she stroked Cecilia’s hair.

“I wouldn’t have seen it if I had given up halfway through.”

Cecilia’s eyes slowly turned to her tail.

Looking at her red eyes, Tail continued her words.

“So, I hope you will never give up on anything in the future, too.”

When another difficult moment came, Tail pulled something out of her pocket, hoping that her world wouldn’t collapse again.

“This is a present prepared for the young lady.”

It was a key chain with a small fox doll on it.

Cecilia’s face lit up when she received the gift from Tail for the first time.

“Thanks Tale!”

Then she tilted her head.

“But did you go downtown?”

“Ah. I went to the night market with Chloe earlier and bought the lady’s.”

What? Did you go to the night market with Chloe?

Cecilia grumbled, puffing out her cheeks.

“What is it? Go with me next time.”

“Of course.”

Tale responded with a light smile at her charming words.

Unfortunately, however, there was no follow-up.

“Extra! Extra!!!!”

The next day, the news of victory rang out.
