"Ariel-sama, please raise your head"
"But, I do not want to lie to you, I really can’t think of any reward good enough for Sylphy. This feeling is the only thing that I could give you. I want to tell you, with my feelings and words. You’ve helped me very much."
"It’s okay, because we’re friends, of course I’ll help you."
While saying so, Sylphy continued to grip Ariel’s hand.
A friendship for ten years, right?
It’s nice, a relationship like this.
"But Sylphy, I’ll come to play some time "
"Yeah, well, if you have any errands towards the Ranoa… I doubt it’s a place you can just show up at."
"Well, when I’m a guest at Ranoa Castle. At that time, I will send the invitation."
"Haha, that's like a VIP guest."
Then, Ariel and Sylphy spent some time talking and laughing together.
While listening to them, I was reminded of when I met Sylphy for the first time.
It was an image of Sylphy walking all alone.
The Sylphy who was pelted with mud balls by other children, failing to offer any resistance.
That Sylphy was now talking and laughing with the princess of a country.
Such a thing, was somehow, quite the happy scene.
