As I started to speak, everything about Eris flooded my mind.
Her face, her warmth that night, and the painful loss of her the next day.
...and then my worthless little man after that...
Tears were noticeably flowing.
[Huh, W-what..? Sorry, I guess you have your own difficulties as to why.]
I still care about her it seems.
Isn't it about time I forgot about her already?
I'm sure she's changed a lot already, She's probably already forgotten all about me.
There's really no point in me carrying a torch for her anymore.
Don't Think.
Don't Feel.
[But still, if you are being given preferential treatment from them, do you have any good reason not to go?]
Conrad said it, and I suddenly recalled it.
The reason I bothered tutoring Eris in the first place, is because it was necessary to earn tuition for the Magic Academy. I was going to take Sylphy with me.
That was my first goal.
However, I don't feel the need to go there right now.
The circumstances now are different from back then.
Although, good things might happen if I join the Magic Guild.
It's not something that I particularly need to do right now.
I'd probably be better off joining Paul.
[That's right. I'm with Paul on this matter, even he wanted you to attend that school. You are already at a good age, why don't you learn to become independent?]
When I noticed it, Elinalise was suddenly next to me.
She seems to dislike Paul a great deal.
[It might not be too late to meet with my whole family once again.]
[I'm told Zenith was safe. Just live your life. You'll surely meet her again.]
[No, the first meeting will likely be a family dissolution.]
[Paul and everyone, wouldn't they come back to Asura?]
[Isn't it more likely they will go to live in Milishion?]
[Milishion is not the place where a man with two wives can live comfortably.]
In the Milis religion, the premise of 1 husband 1 wife is common sense.
Certainly, a guy like Paul would find it a little bit difficult.
[I mean, does Elinalise-san really not want to see father that badly?]
[That's right!]
Elinalise said so unconcernedly while shrugging her shoulders.
But even if she doesn't want to meet Paul, she's not going to give up on her plans to get me safely to him.
There are times when I just don't know what she's thinking.
[By the way, Quagmire]
[What is it?]
[Isn't it about time you introduced me to that Onee-chan of yours?]
Conrad followed Elinalise with a lewd pair of eyes.
This woman, how is she so popular?
Anyways.
Nothing is lost.
Though it's a very tempting offer, I think I'll pass on the Magic Academy right now.
