“Ugh…”
“…Isn’t it too much to drink?”
I looked at her for a moment, who had been drinking alcohol since before, and asked a question in a low voice.
“This is fine… I haven’t even drank half of my alcohol yet.”
“I think your face is too red to say that.”
When I asked a question to her with her eyes slightly blurred, she said with a smile.
“It’s because it’s hot.”
“It’s night now, so it’s pretty chilly.”
“For a little while, let’s just move on for today.”
Having said that, she begins to reach out her hand to the glass again.
Seeing that my hands, which had been trembling like that before, are still intact, alcohol seems to be the most suitable treatment for mental illness.
“How about that canary? Do you like it?”
As I was thinking about it, Clana pointed to the canary sitting on my shoulder and started talking.
“……”
“Don’t say too much, because that would be pretty sad.”
Clana who had said so looked at me and sighed.
“It’s good to see you.”
“What a relief.”
Reluctantly, she answered appropriately, and Clana began to look relieved.
‘…no way.’
Seeing her like that, I suddenly remember what happened in the last episode.
Maybe not, but the expression she is making now… is very similar to that back then.
“Oh, are you thinking of making a toast?”
With that thought in mind, I reached out for the glass in front of me, and Clana extended the glass to me and said:
“Cheers, us.”
“…okay.”
My cup and her cup collide in the middle. And thanks to that, the surface of the glass began to vibrate gently.
“…Ugh.”
Looking at the waves that have been created thanks to that, and drinking a cup, I am frowned upon.

Even by my standards of not getting drunk because of my high mental power, no matter how much I drink.
Because this drink was too poisonous.
“Were you inhaling something so poisonous?”
“Yes, there are things I need to gain courage even by borrowing alcohol.”
“What is that thing?”
“To serve you forcibly because of an oath… It’s very difficult if you don’t rely on strong alcohol like this.”
Clana’s expression looked calm as she said that, and her hands, which had been trembling since before, were quietly placed on the desk as if they had ever been.
“……..”
But, somehow, it feels strange.
It’s like looking at the calm sea before a storm swept away and swept away everything.
‘It’s strange too.’
Today’s Clana is definitely something strange.
They suddenly ask for a drink in the middle of the night, so this place is a bar full of old memories.
Besides, apparently she was shaking her hands. That said, it would mean that most of the memories of the ordeal have already returned.
But, why does she have such a calm expression on her face?
‘It’s like a person who organized everything before leaving for a long way.’
Of course, it could be my mistake.
However, she gave me a canary made from her solar mana as a gift.
And then, please take care of me?
No matter how much you think about it, it is very similar to the bad ending that our ancestors left behind in the prophetic book.
Of all the bad endings, the saddest one.
“It’s late, but I’m going to the dormitory today…”
“It’s just 12 o’clock? It’s not late at all.”
“12 o’clock?”
“Yeah, I guess you, the best idiot in the Empire, wouldn’t call 12 o’clock late, would you?”
After saying that, Clana pointed to the clock on the wall and checked it, it was really 12 o’clock.
It means that a day has passed and a new day has come.
and.
“under.”
It also means that the cooldown of the ‘Heart Reading’ skill, which was used for Perloche, has been reset.
“Ha ha ha ha ha…”
“…frey?”
As I start to laugh, Clana tilts her head and looks at me.
“under……”
I looked at her like that, then sighed and closed my eyes.
‘Somehow, he said he would give me a canary.’
I began to recall the memories of the previous car.
The last memory of her and me tilting her head in front of me.
– Frey Raon, Starlight. If you really want to show your allegiance to me, cut out her heart yourself and manifest hell.
The imperial family was trampled into ruins by the demon king army, and the soldiers were slaughtered horribly.
The Imperial Knights Templar left only traces of blood scattered here and there and torn armor.
And you, sitting on the crumbling throne, quietly cooling down with your eyes closed.
She, who had always blazed with radiant light, had no idea that she could cool down so coldly.
While holding her and walking to the magic circle set up by the Demon King, a canary that seemed to have been seen somewhere flew around.
It’s disturbing that your chilly temperature has been conveyed to me, but it seems to have made it even more depressing because Kanilia was hovering around me.
However, I couldn’t stop there, so I clenched my teeth and headed towards the magic circle.
Just like that, he arrived at the magic circle, pulled out a sword from his bosom, and was about to stab Clana’s heart.
“Tit!”
“…Ouch!”
That canary pecked my eyes.
Thanks to this, blood started to flow from my eyes, and I swung the sword I was holding in a panic.
The canary quickly flew up and perched on the ceiling decoration. I was looking down at me and Clana.
As if trying to capture the image of me manifesting hell in my eyes.
At that time, I just thought that Clana’s pet was mourning the death of its owner.
– Whoops!
So I stabbed her in the heart, and I couldn’t raise my head up again.
It was only after the canary stopped chirping that she thought she had gone somewhere and started the ceremony.
Suddenly, he realized that the blood that was coming out of his eyes was dripping a little thinner.
He had brought hell to the empire.
“Fray.”
“…uh?”
I, who had been in such deep thought, suddenly woke up to Clana’s call.
“Do you like that canary…?”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“What do you mean? You’re petting a canary.”
When I came to my senses after hearing that, the situation was really funny.
It was because I had put the canary on my shoulder before I knew it, and I was gently stroking her with my hand while putting it on the table.
“I’m really glad. You like it.”
Clana, who looked at me like that, said with a calm smile once again.
“Here, just one more drink…”
– Cock!
Then Clana raised her hand to get her to drink, so she stabbed Canary while she was moulting.
“…
Her reaction is unusual.
“Why? Clanna?”
“…Oh, no.”
When I ask Clana a question in a low voice, she tries to avert her gaze from me and mumbles her words.
“Hmm…”
I quietly tapped the table with my finger, then reached out for a bottle of wine left by the waiter. He carefully poured the drink into the glass and opened his mouth.
“Aren’t you drunk yet?”
“…Are you really not drunk? You must have been drinking low alcohol.”
Clana, who asked that question, was breathing heavily as if she was slowly getting drunk.
“You… are you tickling the canary now?”
As I watched her quietly, I answered with a sharp gaze as Clana asked a question in a slightly bewildered voice.
“But.”
“Why, why? Why would you do that…”
“You gave me as a gift, so whatever you do, it’s on my mind. Isn’t it?”
Having said that, Clana quietly bowed her head and said.
“Then, are you going to bother me like that in the future?”
“…sometimes when stress builds up?”
“Still, won’t you hit me?”
“I can’t tell.”
Having said that, I drank a glass of wine and saw Clana chewing her lips.
“You mean you don’t really care about animals?”
“That’s right. But my pets are a different story.”
“What’s different?”
“Well…”
When I tickled Canary once more, my shaky tail, Clana began to tremble.
“Hah…”
“You will see.”
As she raised the corner of her mouth and spoke to her, Clana, who was quietly bowing her head, suddenly began to drink in rapid succession.
“does not matter.”
“What?”
“It’s a gift for you. You do it yourself.”
“Are you saying it doesn’t matter what I do?”

Even though I asked in the coldest voice possible, she only answered with a smile.
“Do whatever you want.”
Hearing those words, I stopped tickling Canary and quietly put her back on my shoulder.
“…Drunk.”
“No, not yet…”
“Your breathing is rough and your face is red. Stop making excuses.”
Saying that, I grabbed her hand that reached out to the glass, and Clana froze in that position.
“Uh, uh…”
“Clana?”
“Ugh…!”
Clana, who was trembling with a stupid moan, quickly changed her expression to pale and shook my hand away.
“Hey, don’t touch my hand.”
“Clana?”
“More, before it’s too late… just a little bit of time with you… uh…”
Clana, who was shaking while holding her head without saying such a thing, then quietly opened her mouth.
“Slowly the limit is coming.”
“What?”
“Now I’m leaving here. I can’t finish it in a place like this.”
“……..”
“Why?”
As I watched Clana stand up from her seat with a pale, tired face, I muttered quietly.
“…Nothing.”
“Okay? Then let’s go.”
Clana, who heard the sound, slowly got up from her seat and urged me.
“So, where are you going now?”
“Well…”
When Clana asked her next destination, she smiled quietly and started talking.
“Initially, there were many places I wanted to visit, and there were many things I wanted to try.”
“okay?”
“Yeah, but… I don’t think I’ll have time for that. It’s really unfortunate.”
Clana’s expression as she said that was only for a brief moment, but there was a gloomy look on her face.
“I tried to stop by the dessert cafe I went to last time, the clothing store, and the cat cafe…”
“Did you?”
“…it’s very late, right? So, I’ll stop regretting it and go to the destination.”
Hearing that, I frowned, Clana grabbed my arm and left the store.
“It’s right there.”
“…there.”
I pointed to a place that I and she knew very well.
“…Is it the forest where we made an oath?”
“Yes, that’s right. It’s the forest where two fools made a promise.”
“Why are you going there?”
Asking her like that, Clana started talking while moving slowly.
“Last time, the canary flower you hung out for.”
“…you remember that?”
“I was really deeply regretting that I didn’t receive those flowers.”
Clana, ignoring my question, turned her head slightly and started looking at me.
“So, please give me a new one.”
“…a nearby flower shop must have closed.”
“The canary flower I gave you back then is fine, so I want to receive a sunrise flower as a gift there.”
“Sunrise flowers?”
Clana nodded quietly when I asked my question, and then spoke in a low voice.
“…we have to reconcile.”
“What?”
“Because I’ve come this far.”
After saying those words, Clana quietly turned her head and started heading towards the forest.
“under…….”
And then, I was watching her quietly.
“It doesn’t matter.”
I used it as soon as it was right on time, and silently watched the skill window that had been floating in front of me until now, and murmured.

“…that’s my specialty.”
Yeah, she is so cute and all but she doesn’t know that if she dies is game over for real.
She’s willingly trying to kill herself after getting her memories back, to not harm Frey any further, that’s how much she love him
