The trail of the sky The light belongs to you

"Miss, it's time to wake up."

"..."

"...Hey, you're heavy..."

"...?"

When I opened my eyes, what I saw was a dazzling red burning in the sky. It was already dusk, and the sunset glow extended to the end of the coastline.

"It landed...?"

"What do you think..." A soft sigh came from next to my ear, "Can you get up?"

"Hey... oh...!"

It took several seconds for Onasa to realize that she was being held in Levito's arms at the moment.

The young man half-kneeled on the ground, lowered his body, and his fine hair fell between Onasa's eyebrows.

"No, I'm sorry..."

With a swipe, Onasa stood up from Levi, standing aside with her head bowed in embarrassment.

"..." Levi patted the dust on his body, "Finally woke up..."

"Um……"

"Thank you, Del Passion," Levi stroked the black wings. After the huge machine made a weird noise, the light in his eyes gradually faded and stopped functioning.

"It's really messed up..."

Onasa held down her hair that was blown by the wind, and turned her head to look at the shoreline.

Now they were on the shore somewhere in the middle of Meiwei Beach, and it seemed that they landed safely after going through a lot of difficulties.

"...you are the one who messed up?"

"...I made a rational judgment to..."

"And was intercepted by Wiseman on the deck of the ark?"

"..."

For some reason, she always felt that with Levi, it was impossible to win the battle of words.

"...are you not injured?"

"No."

After Onasa glanced at Levi, she suddenly noticed something and turned around.

The young man's fair skin was covered with traces of dust at some point, and the jacket on the left sleeve was also a little torn.

"……You are hurt?"

"I don't……"

Hearing the girl's inquiry, Levi looked at himself, but the next moment Onasa grabbed his arm.

"...There are..."

"...?"

Onasa lowered her head, her slender knuckles covered the wound hidden under her sleeve.

Perhaps it was scratched by some part of Del's passion when he landed, and a line of clear blood flowed from the slender wound, which has slightly stained the fabric of the clothes.

"Don't you even know?"

"It's not that I don't know... I didn't pay attention..." Levi wanted to withdraw his arm, but he didn't expect Onasa to pull it loose, "It's nothing... this..."

"It's nothing compared to Shura's injuries, who have been walking in the bloody storm, right?"

Levi couldn't help raising his eyebrows—she was angry.

However, just as he was about to speak, the water-blue light had already covered his skin, taking away the scorching heat and replacing it with a mint-like coolness.

Onasa held the power guide in her forehand and activated the recovery magic.

"...It's not deep in the first place, so it's fine like this." After taking the power guide back into her arms, Onasa took a step back, "I'll give it back to you..."

"……return?"

"The treatment that night will be returned to you."

With their backs facing the golden light all over the sky, against the hair of the same color, the person standing there showed a smile that anyone would be relieved to see.

That is a smile that has released everything and is no longer bound by the past.

Whether it was crying in front of the cemetery that night or wandering in a daze, it no longer exists.

"The rest...will you pay it back later?"

"What's left?"

"..."

Onasa pursed her lips, closed her eyes and lowered her head, "Secret."

Onasa probably will never forget the scene that happened in front of the queen's palace.

The black-haired boy disappeared in just one day, and the gloom in the amber eyes had been completely dissolved by the warmth, and the speed of it made Onasa sigh.

Knowing how hard she herself had to go to bring some stupid guy back...

And that's not the point.

The moment Joshua saw Levi, his expression was extremely complicated.

And Levi maintained the same frosty demeanor as before, but whispered softly: "Is it finally back...?"

Fortunately, Estier quietly told Onasa that she had told most of Levi's affairs, otherwise Onasa would turn around and run away immediately.

The same thing is explained too many times, and no one will be bored.

The two people, who were about a head apart in height, were standing side by side in front of Her Majesty the Queen.

"...The above is the information about the Body Devouring Snake that I got during the operation."

Hamel's orphans, the only two remaining, stood before Her Majesty at this moment.

It would not be true if Onasa had never hesitated, but at this moment, when she saw that there was no wave in the eyes of the two of them, only calm, her worries were swept away.

"You are Mr. Levi, right?"

"...Her Majesty the Queen doesn't need to use honorifics to me."

"...I never expected that there would be such a truth behind the coup that day."

The queen's voice was heavy, but her eyes did not flicker, she looked firmly at Levi's ice purple eyes.

Onasa feels that their dialogue is like the elders and the young, without national boundaries and political disputes.

"... During the coup, I forced you, I am very sorry."

"...No, actually you didn't do anything to me," the queen smiled bitterly, "I should apologize to you for the tragedy ten years ago, and it was my ineffective governance that resulted in such a result. "

"You're being too serious... That incident was just being forced, it's not your fault."

"Even so..." The queen pondered for a moment, "Joshua, Levi, here I apologize to you on behalf of Libel."

"...to the point of panic..."

"But having said that..." The queen slowly raised her deeply bowed head, and smiled lovingly again, "When that child came to look for me that day, I knew that today would definitely come."

"...Female, Your Majesty the Queen!"

Onasa panicked all of a sudden, surprised that the topic changed so quickly.

"That child came to my room that day, and..."

"Wait, wait a minute...!!!!"

Shouting a bit out of composure, Onasa jumped in front of the Queen and hurriedly stopped her.

"This, it goes without saying... There is nothing to say..."

"...Ah, this kid is shy..."

"I... I didn't...!"

Looking at the girl with blushing cheeks and trying to argue, Levi's eyes softened unknowingly, and all of this was captured by Joshua.

As night fell, everyone temporarily stayed in the hotel in the capital.

Onasa originally thought that Estier would live in the same room as Joshua, but she dragged herself into the room at the end of the corridor as soon as she arrived at the hotel.

"...Are you really not going to live with Joshua?"

Taking off her guerrilla outfit, Onasa sat at the table, fiddling with her teacup nonchalantly.

However, it was just an inadvertent question, which made Estier's face blush up to the base of her ears.

"I, I won't...!"

"...You guys haven't lived here before..." Onasa glanced at her, "And don't you have a lot to say?"

"...Yes, but..." Estelle lowered her head in embarrassment, and smiled slightly, "Because we have already made an appointment to be together...so..."

"Hmm~~~~~~"

"...Wh-what...!" Estier pouted angrily, "Onasha, you are not the same!"

"...I'm a mature adult, I won't do such childish things."

"..."

However, these words were like a spell, suddenly fixing Estier in place.

"Estil?"

"Unbelievable..." the girl murmured.

"...What is incredible?"

Estier stared at the blond girl with a familiar face but with a warm aura she had never felt before, and she felt a touch of emotion in her heart.

As if a part that has been lost has finally been found, Onasa's expression at this moment is brighter than ever.

"... Estelle, are you okay... Hey...!"

The sudden weight in her arms made Onasa couldn't help leaning back on the back of the chair. Estier suddenly wrapped her arms around her waist and buried her face in her chest.

"...Great, now..."

"Estier..."

"Joshua is back, and...finally, I won't see Onasa's sad expression again."

After being dazed for a while, Onasa smiled, and slowly stroked Estelle's hair.

I don't know if the stars in the distant sky can realize her transformation and pass it on to the heavenly mother?

The teacup made a crisp sound when it was placed on the glass table.

Joshua sat upright, facing Levi, staring down at his own reflection reflected in the black tea.

"...So, what's the matter?"

"that……"

Joshua finally raised his head, his amber eyes were full of determination.

"... Levi is, when..."

"Didn't she tell you?"

"Yes... but..."

"Ah……"

"Lai, Levi...!"

Hearing the young man's chuckle melting in the warm air, Joshua couldn't help opening his mouth wide.

Even though his appearance was mature and more handsome, it was completely different from his impression, but the feeling was so similar.

He was amazed at the change.

Surprised that the Sword Emperor, who had been in great pain for losing his sister, could no longer feel the killing intent on his body.

What's more amazing... is what Onasha brought.

The violet eyes were thoughtfully covered with a layer of moonlight halo, and Levi's drooping bangs swayed with the night wind pouring in from the window.

"Ten years, if you don't experience it personally, how can you predict that it will fall apart in just one day?"

In Levi's ten years, there were only missions and hunting.

As strong as the Sword Emperor, there is no need to worry about the risk of being taken away by others. Joshua can't even imagine how Levi will spend it.

"...When I saw her for the first time, I just felt that she was just another person who was played by politics and war. Even if there were similarities, it was just a passerby."

"..."

Joshua just listened silently.

"Joshua, there will be a ten-year gap, don't let it happen again."

He nodded, and then felt warm palms covering his head.
