“Chapter 163: Ownership Conditions 2”
The next few days passed uneventfully.
The more magic I gave Moonlight, the weaker the snowstorms became.
It was now possible to go outside without having to worry about freezing weather.
– Look! It’s that guy! The sun!
– It’s so bright and warm~
Tobi and Michihi were jumping around, admiring the rare sight of the sun.
– Is that Akane’s boyfriend!? Oww- (Tobi)
– Don’t be stupid. She told you he’s not her boyfriend. (Michihi)
– Haha… (Takaya)
– Takaya-san, right? Did you need something? (Michihi)
– I was wondering if you knew where Akane is.
Ever since she left that day, I haven’t seen her at all.
According to Fuji, she comes at night and plays for a little bit with Mike.
She’s clearly avoiding me.
– Huh? She’s where she always is. Come on, you’re her boyfriend, you should know. (Tobi)
Okay, I give up on the boyfriend thing.
– Fine, but you have to pay more attention to her! Anyways, she’s outside the village at the- Ow! Now what!?
– Hey, idiot. She told you not to talk about it with strangers.
– He’s not a stranger, he’s Akane’s boyfriend. They’re gonna live together one day anyways.
– I know, but… (Michihi)
– Listen here. I had a small argument with Akane, and I want to apologize, but she’s been avoiding me ever since. Can you tell me where she is? I promise I’ll keep this a secret.
– Uhhh… (Michihi)
– Haha, come on Michihi. Tell him.
Fuji appeared from behind me.
– Fuji-sama, are you sure?
– Now that there is no need for Moon Maidens anymore, that girl has lost her way. Takaya will be able to help her.
Fuji looked me directly in the eyes.
– Save my granddaughter from herself. She’s by far the most talented one in our family. I’m sure she’ll be of use.
– That’s what I came here for.
I took out Moonlight.
– This sword… It’s meant for her.
I have no aptitude for using swords or spears. Or any weapon.
But there’s someone that does.
