One month later, he was released.

It could be said this was a light punishment compared to previous punishments, but there was a lingering side effect: his body was icy even after being warmed up.

It didn't bother him much, but others were worried if he felt cold all the time but that wasn't the case instead he gained a new skill -cold resistance-

He was also told that the second son of duke Vidras came to visit, saying he wanted to get to know him better therefore they scheduled a playdate a few days after his release.

Takashi & Kumi: "Seriously?!!! A playdate at this age?!!!"

Takashi: "... You surprised me,"

Kumi: "You don't look surprised to me?"

Takashi: "Regardless of that they could've made another excuse for this not a playdate"

Kumi: "Although I do agree, it's still considered normal, its just that you are *Special*"

Takashi: "We are not really going play right?"

Kumi: "Unless you want to, you can but if you don't you can just drink tea and talk," he said with a bit of humor in his tone

Both of them conversed haply while drinking tea... well just Takashi.

On the other side of the door, there are some that were peeking in.

"Is master okay, he's talking to himself"

"Maybe he's just thinking out loud"

"Was he so lonely in that dark place that he began talking to himself?" They all said concerned

Of course, Takashi heard this and thought he caused a terrible misunderstanding but didn't try to fix it instead he stopped talking to Kumi, who got second-hand embarrassment.

Two days later

The weather was warm and comfortable as the wind brushed past against Kumi's hair looking at the person in front of him while drinking tea in silence.

A few minutes later one of them finally spoke, "I heard you were feeling unwell this past month, it must have been serious for you to be sick for so long, how are you feeling?" Ashrith asked

"Thank you for your concern, I'm feeling much better" [They are not good at making excuses...]

"May I call you Kumi? In return, you can call me Ashrith,"

"I do not mind,"

"We are friends now then" Rather than a question it sounded like a statement, Kumi almost spit out his tea when he heard this but calmed himself.

"I guess so," Kumi said hesitantly, a few more minutes of silence was broken by the sound of droplets of water touching whatever it touched first,

"I enjoyed my time with Kumi, lets do this again some time"

"I would love to," Kumi said lying through his teeth "I shall lead you out"

They began walking but the rain increased making them run to their destination but Kumi suddenly stopped to look upon the cloudy sky thinking of who knows what

Ashrith looked back and observed Kumi for a few seconds before speaking to Kumi to bring him back to his senses

"Oh, sorry," Kumi said absentmindedly

"It's alright," Ashrith said while smiling "You're getting soaked"

"You are too" while saying this Kumi whispered and made an umbrella made of ice, transparent yet had a tint of blue
