2013/3/5.

Today was a day of rest on Yuumasel.

Seren arrived at the orphanage. Ixtal went out because she was going to return a book to the library, but she realized that she had forgotten an important book at the entrance.

Seren tried to chase Ixtal with her book in his hands, but at that exact time, Konoha appeared at the entrance.

“Hey, Seren, what’s the matter?”

“Oh, Ixtal forgot this.”

“Then I’ll deliver it!”

Although Seren felt a touch of anxiety, he handed the book to her.

Konoha went out smiling. She put up an umbrella because it was raining. She called out to Ixtal, who was at the gate, and approached her.

“Ixtal, you forgot this book~”

At the moment Konoha said that in her cheerful voice, Ixtal started scowling. “Ah… Konoha, be careful.”

Even so, Konoha slipped and the book made a vigorous dive into a puddle as expected.

“Eek!? Your book!?” Konoha panicked. “As I expected,” she said as she put her hand to her forehead.

Ixtal picked up the book.

“I-I-I-I’m sorry, it’s my fault…!” said Konoha hastily.

“Nah, I’m used to it. I’ll just apologize to the library.”

“No way! I’m going there to apologize too!”

Konoha pulled at Ixtal’s arm to request to come. “Got it,” said Ixtal with a bitter smile, and the two left together.

When Seren sighed and closed the front door, Fealis was standing behind him.

“What is it, did that idiot called Konoha screw something up again?”

“Yeah, really, she likes helping people but it backfires every time.”

Indeed, such a child was Konoha.
