Interlude 1

Recollection - Serra and Alice
'Freil', a small rural village located in the southern part of the Elmerado Militant Nation.

Although the Elmerado Militant Nation was modernized by steam engines, and the economy was enriched, the village was surrounded by forests, and the main source of income for the villagers was agriculture. An unusually poor village.

Celestia Valentine was born in this small village.

※※※※

When Serra was five years old, the Westblood family moved to Freil.

In particular, the Valentine family was a neighbor, so Serra and Alice quickly became close.

Serra still vividly remembers the first conversation with her.

"I'm Celestia. I'm Celestia Valentine. Nice to meet you.

Then the little Serra asked Alice to shake hands.

Alice clasped her hands with delight, but soon a puzzled look came over her.

"... um, what's wrong?"

"Long"

Alice replied just one word.

"Your name is too long for me,"

"eh............"

At Alice's words, Serra's face went pale with shock.

Serra and Alice's parents, who watched the exchange, laughed, but she was so depressed that she didn't notice.

"That's .... I'll say it again, Celestia!"

"Ceres, teer.... erm, it's long after all."

"Eh..."

It seems that Serra can't accept the fact that her name is unpopular, as it is the name she had been called by.

Alice couldn't help it, and then, after groaning for a while, she suddenly smiled like something flashed into her mind.

"That's right. A nickname! Let's give you a nickname!"

"Ah, that's a good idea."

Serra also smiled at Alice's proposal, and became enthusiastic.

"Then, what about Celes?"

"Yeah, I don't like it."

"You don't... and what about Tia?"

"Sounds like 'tear'.... I don't think so."

'Unh' said Alice, holding her head while shaking it.

"Lesse"

"No good."

"Selle"

"No way"

"Come on"

Alice got frustrated and stepped at Serra, who doesn't accept them at all.

After that, putting her palms together, she asked Serra whether she had come up with something satisfactory.

"Then, what about Serra?"

"......! That! That one!"

Serra nods happily to Alice's proposal.

"Then, start over. My name is Celestia Valentine. Call me Serra!"

"I'm Alice. Alice Westblood. Alice is fine, nice to meet you!"

Again, the two girls shake hands.

This event was an encounter with Alice, who became a childhood friend, and the origin of Serra's nickname.
