"......."

"Not anymore. And you won't be in the future."

I was stiff like someone who had forgotten how to move.

Is it the sound of my heart that's ringing in my head? Then my heart might burst soon. The human heart could not be able to withstand this beating.

Ash continued, not letting go of my hand, whether or not she knew what I was thinking.

"What about you?"

"Uh, eh?"

"I'm still a younger brother to you?"

A pleasant voice was unrealistically wrapped in my ears.

"I hope not."

I closed my eyes and opened them.

But even after doing that, Ash in front of me didn't disappear. Everything was the same.

It's no illusion. It's also not in vain.

It was real.

No words came out. Even if it came out, it seemed that I would scream instead of a normal word.

I kept my mouth shut like some unfortunate princess with an unspeakable curse and soon shook my head.

Ash smiled at the moment I shook my head too hard.

It was a dazzling smile. I forgot everything else and lost my mind looking at his smiles.

"I'm relieved, I was wondering what to say if you say yes."

"......"

"Well, I won't be your younger brother anyway."

......then?

If it's not my brother, then what?

My heartbeat is really crazy. The situation was too dreamy to feel real.

In the meantime, my hand which was still held by Ash seemed to be burning hot. Not to mention the back of my hand where his lips touched.

Soon Ash left my hand alone.

And he put my hair behind my ears with a calm touch that I couldn't feel any regret left.

I forgot how to move again and Ash whispered quietly in my ear like that.

"It's very late at night. Take a little more rest today."

Ash left the room after his words.

But it wouldn't be my illusion that the hand that was handing over my hair before leaving, moved particularly slowly as if he hated to fall off.

After the door opened and closed again, I've been sitting there like a rock for a while.

Soon after, I closed my mouth and fell on the bed.

"..........nonsense."

The word barely escaped through the gap in my mouth.

***

Sometimes reality is more like a dream than a dream itself. I thought now was the time.

I greeted the morning blankly.

It turned out that I woke up at the mansion in the middle of the night when dawn was approaching.

The reason why I felt the room was bright was because of the lighting.

After a few hours, the dawn broke from the outside the window. Of course, I didn't fall asleep until then. And of course, I couldn't sleep more.

"Lady, are you all right?"
