"To get the constellation you want, you first need to know what your star is."
It's been five days and I'm still in the same rush, working on this troublesome fucking report. In fact, I even invited Hedro to join.
"alright. I get it."
Finished with the task of Lv 1 Astrology Science, I instantly took out a spell scroll to learn. Surely I'm gonna need Hedro's help for this.
"Smagic mushroom!"
BOOM..!!
"You did it, Fisilia!"
In the end, my hard work all this time was not in vain. I've mastered many magic spells. This wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for Hedro's help. Suddenly, the previous memories came back to my mind. The memory of someone who has never appeared before me. The person I have long missed.
"Hey, what are you thinking?"
"Ah, that. I was just recalling the Magic Circle spell Lv 2."
"Not until something is forgotten. All of that is very important and will be repeated again in Lv 3." class."
"really? I was doubting. Is my brain really recording everything?"
Hedro patted my shoulder slowly. He tried to calm me down so as not to doubt my own abilities.
"Don't worry, Lia. I'm here for you."
I hope Delu said that to me. But I don't think he'll ever come back. After that, we never saw each other again.
"Oh yeah, you should come with me now."
"What's wrong?"
"It has. Come along!"
Hedro pulled my arm out of the dorm. For no apparent reason, he took me to a strange place not far from the female dormitory.
"What is this place?"
"This is a Flying Tapestry Shop. You should try it, Fis."
I see around him there are quite a lot of types of carpets with various kinds of unique patterns. If I bring Mama here, I can't imagine what will happen next.
"Oh, there's a customer. Betrsya, come quickly. We have new customers!"
Suddenly from behind the door decorated with a series of ronces, came out a girl dressed in Indian style who was riding a tapestry.
"Welcome, Brother Hedro!"
"Hello, Betrysa!"
"Well, it looks like Brother brought a girl here. Was there no intention to introduce her to me?"
"Oh yeah, this is Fisilia. He was one of my classmates, other than Delu."
That name made me think back to him. I was so absorbed in daydreaming that I did not pay attention to the chatter of the two people in front of me.
"Hi, Sister Fisilia! May I call you Lia?"
Hedro patted my shoulder slowly. I who had been daydreaming was not clear, finally realized as well.
"W-what?"
"Hey, is Brother daydreaming?"
"Ah, what? N-no. Oh yeah, meet me Fisilia."
"Ehm, Brother Hedro has introduced you before."
I am so silly that I put myself to shame in front of new people. This would never have happened if it wasn't for that shitty kid. But it's my fault too, for thinking too much about him.
"What's up, Fis?"
"Ah, I-I'm fine. Yes, yes, I still have business. Bye bye!"
"Eh, Fish.."
Without a second thought, I immediately ran away leaving the two of them. I shouldn't have done this. But I'm embarrassed too, so what can I do?
"He is. why?"
"Hm, I think he's busy."
"Oh, so. How about we go back now? I just made a rug, you know."
"Oh, huh? I'm sure your work must be very beautiful, just like the maker."
"Heheh.. This brother could've."
Today I was alone in the dorm. There was nothing to accompany but books and paper still piled on the table. Normally, at a time like this Delu would come to bother me. But now, just showing her nose isn't.
"Basic fucking Delu! Son sucks! It's useless!"
Tok. tokk..
I heard someone knocking on the door from the outside. Without even getting out of bed, I shouted from inside the room.
"IF YOU CAN OPEN IT. THE DOOR'S NOT IN THE LOCK !"
BRAKK..!!
"Can you not yell like that at me?!"
"What's wrong?"
"I heard you were with Hedro earlier."
"Oh, it is. But, I already left it at the Flying Tapestry Shop."
"Why?!"
"Calculate, mate. Don't think I'm fighting with him. I saw him chatting with his sister."
"What did you say? Hedro has a sister?"
"I thought so. So instead of bothering them, I'd better just go home."
Still in the same position, break down. I watched Chely from a distance. He looked so agitated after knowing Hedro's current whereabouts.
"Did you miss me?"
"Ah, I-I didn't come for you."
"Then, did you come for Hedro?"
"What do you mean?"
I had expected that Chely really liked Hedro. I guess I should tell him this soon.
Time had passed for hours, me and Chely were still drifting in silence. None of us opened the conversation. I'm still busy with my own thoughts, and so is Chely.
Tok..
"Come in. The door's not locked."
"Hey, Fisilia."
Turns out Hedro, I think he came at the right time. Chely quickly fixed his sitting position.
"Come in, Dro."
After letting him in, the atmosphere went back to silence. We were silent and didn't talk at all. I still don't stop thinking about Delu. Why didn't he come here? What is he doing right now? Where is he now? I don't know.
"W-did you guys just do this earlier?"
"Yes." Yeah."
Chely and I answered at the same time, and then we went back to silence.
"alright. I have a guess."
Hedro spoke again. Now, we began to turn our eyes towards Hedro.
"CAT, what CAT is no morals?"
Without thinking hard, we just shook our heads not knowing.
"The answer is the CAT" she's married."
Ba dum..
Not a single laugh echoed. There was only the sound of a gentle breeze blowing from outside.
"Have been silent for a long time. Aren't you tired?"
Hedro's right. The streets are one of the answers to that question.
"It's the first entertainment place we're going to."
After agreeing to go out, Hedro invited us to a Flower Greenhouse. He explained a lot to us about it.
"All kinds of flowers are grown here, including herbs."
"Enoughly interesting. What else?"
Next, Hedro took us to Flight Training. He tried to jump into it without safety. It made both of us worried, but I guess there was nothing to worry about at all.
"Look, guys! It's so much fun!"
Interested in what I saw before my eyes, I jumped into it. Really fun.
"Then, what else?"
Finished playing around in Flight Training, Hedro took us elsewhere.
"Here we go."
"What's this?"
"This is a Romantic Boat."
Me and Chely stared at each other and shook their heads strongly, a sign of disapproval.
"No. Find somewhere else!"
"O-oh, fine."
Then, he took us to a place that looked the same as before.
"It's a Romantic Adventure."
"No."
Me and Chely both refused to go where the word "romantic" had been listed". We came here just for entertainment, not dating.
