Volume 4, Chapter 6: One of the Rarest Materials in the World

Not long after we had left Elyse’s room, Sophia was still doing her best to hold back her tears. Considering what just happened with her mother, that’s understandable.

Volume 4, Chapter 4: Carlos’ Grave

I’d estimate that there are about thirty kilometres between the Sfir mansion and our home in Muhle.

As a result of our discussion, it was decided that Sophia would be returning to her home next week.

Volume 4, Chapter 2: Deep Frustration

“Leon onii-chan…does that mean you’ll come with me?” Sophia looked up at me with her deep red eyes. The way she’s anxiously grabbing onto my sleeve is really cute. Obviously, there’s no way I can refuse her in this situation. I simply told her, “Of course.” “…really?” “Yes, really. We can make the time so all of us can go …

Volume 4, Chapter 1: To Face The Past

A day after our visit to the grave, I had a somewhat strange dream about the past. It was back when Alice was still a slave and we were living apart. “That was nostalgic….” I was still half asleep as I buried my face in my body pillow. Back then, I’d often ‘sleep’ with Alice in order to deceive Mary. …

Volume 4, Prologue

Three months had now passed since the graduation turned festival. Under the sunny summer sun, Milli, Alice, Claire, Sophia, and I decided to visit a small hill on the edge of Muhle.

Volume 3, Chapter 4-6: Liz’s Dream

Liz’s problem had been solved, but, as a result of that, I could no longer live a peaceful school life. …well, if I had to say whether or not my life was peaceful, I’d say it was. A better word to describe it may be busy. Since returning from the capital, I’ve been focused on setting up a distribution line …
