When I was still on Earth.

And when I was a teenager.

Meaninglessly, I liked walking around the city late at night.

Same road as always.

And the same city as always.

But with time and light and dark, it's like a different face to see.

Whatever that was, it was comforting.

In particular, I like the cold weather in winter.

Cool well with the kinks.

Your body freezes, but your head feels refreshed.

I liked to look out cold from the veranda, even if I didn't have to walk at night.

Time flies, age changes, name changes, and even if the world you live in is different.

Still, I can't wait to like winter nights.

"... did Lucica sleep?

"I'm already grumpy. Fee and noir."

And now.

I'm in the garden at night with my dear teacher.

There is no one else.

It's just me and Abel.

It's like there's an illusion that there's only me and Abel in this world.

A distant silence is wrapping up my little brother.

"... n"

Abel puts the mug gently on the garden table.

That's tea my teacher brews.

It's one of the few plucks in this cold.

"Thanks. - Yeah. Delicious."

"... n"

My words, Master Elf.

Abel seems kind of happy, too.

This plush, too, is loving again.

This hour today is the end and beginning of the year.

It was after New Year's Eve countdown.

"... Phee was doing his best this year"

Abel says with a smile that only I can understand.

Every year, my sister,

"Phew! Phew, with me, it counts down!

That's what I swear, but I'm unfulfilled.

Just like "Santa's Capture," he falls asleep before midnight arrives.

If you say you'll fall asleep, so will Marimo.

She is a pure spirit of darkness and is therefore inherently nocturnal.

But Noir, who lives a regular life with his mother, lives in a cycle of sleeping exactly at night and getting up in the morning.

"... because those kids used to eat"

Abel laughs softly.

The Crane Putt family eats yearly soup spas, not soba noodles.

My mother and Abel will make it for me.

Again, again.

"It's usual for Fee to eat all over, but he had a lot of noir too"

They were both down from eating too much, though it's a little laughable.

"... the Spirit was originally about a big meal. In the case of noir, I think it's possible to eat a normal meal and rise."

Marimo, I've always seemed to envy our family's dining landscape......

"... Al didn't eat much on the kids down there"

"Was I...? I was so obsessed..."

Even in the previous life, Zara was too busy working to get a meal, but that doesn't seem to have improved when she was reborn.

Apparently, idiots don't heal when they die.

"... a child I can't help"

Abel shrugged all the time saying she was in trouble and caressed my hair softly.

"... Al. Wait a minute."

And then we go indoors.

After a while, Abel came right back.

"Ooh, nice smell......!

Looks like he made us an easy meal with the rest of the ingredients from the New Year's Spa.

"... it's midnight, just a little"

"Yeah. Thanks, Abel"

"... n"

I don't know why, Abel, the one who made it looks happy.

"Did Phee or her mother ever wake up?

"... the wind magic also controlled the smell. Otherwise, those two will literally sniff and wake up"

Because it's so delicious, that mother and daughter.

I accidentally laugh a little at Mighty Char's tearful efforts.

Well, would you like to have dinner, too, my son?

"Yeah, yummy"

........

My master doesn't say anything and his expression doesn't change, but still, just a little, he seems satisfied.

"... when you're done eating, Al goes to bed too"

"Mm-hmm... That's it."

....

Because of this, and he wants to walk at night for a long time.

Why don't you throw a change ball?

"Sleep a little later, and I want to see Abel and the first sunrise."

Whether it is a changing sphere or genuine.

Ex-Japanese around here?

"... Mm"

Mighty Char is lost.

Looks like there's an aspect to being a guardian.

Shall I make another push?

"Please. I want to make memories with Abel."

"...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"Yeah. With Abel."

"................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ And you can't be reversed day and night."

I hear you've forgiven me.

And of course, this is the real deal too.

If you can see the first sunrise with someone important, it must be worth it.

"... from the room, bring a photo machine"

Oh, you take pictures.

With the teacher, I walked down the road before dawn.

What we arrived at was a natural and scenic place in the King's City.

Near the hill where I saw 'Stars Down' with Pooh Chi before.

Abel seems to have made a choice where there is no one else.

"It's a beautiful place."

"...... hmm. In the Wang capital, a good category"

Abel is setting up the camera.

There's no such thing as a timer on a photo machine, but they're going to push it remotely by magic.

"... Soon, the night will dawn"

"Yeah. It's the beginning of a new year, a new morning."

The heavens of the east turn red.

From the other side of the hill, I saw sunlight.

"... Al. Press the switch"

He said, "Come close."

So I lean in gently.

"- Abel. Thanks for everything last year. And say hello again this year, huh?

"... again this year, a little different"

"Yeah?"

"... will continue, but is right"

Oh, he told me not to separate them by year.

I felt like I had just a little glimpse of Abel's loneliness in that word.

"Yeah. Well, keep it up"

"...... hmm. All the time, together."

That's what Abel said and smiled.

I seem a little lonely, but happy.

Neither from either side, the master softly, holds hands.

- That picture is just a secret for the two of us.

Happy everywhere, but one day I'll always lose it, such a scene in the landscape.

With your loved ones, of East Heavenly Red, beneath.
