107. Time to Leave (1)
[Episode 107] – Time to Leave (1)
Squeak-
“What, why are you so late? “What time is it?”
When she heard the terrace door open, Veronica, who was lying on the bed, raised her head with an annoyed expression. It was already late at night and she was about to ask why she had come so late, but she was left speechless when she saw Vivian’s face as she appeared, leaning on Titania’s shoulder.
Her face was bright red and looked like a ripe apple. Veronica sighed as she saw Vivian entering the room with unsteady steps, heavily intoxicated with alcohol. No matter how much fun she had at the festival, she didn’t know how to take Titania and drink her wine.
“…That’s it. “What would you say to a drunkard?”
“Ehehehe…”
Titania smiled shyly as she looked at Veronica who sighed heavily. Unlike her frustrated Veronica, Titania twitched the corners of her mouth to hold back her laughter. That’s right, she achieved everything she wanted on today’s date.
Veronica asked Titania as she placed the book she had been reading on her bookshelf.
“…Well, it looks like you had fun. “Did your wish come true?”
Titania smiled and nodded her head.
Date alone with her mother, hug her mother, and even kiss her at the end. Her kiss was different from what he had thought… But it was still true that her lips touched each other. If the act of touching lips is a kiss, then that was also a kiss. Titania decided she would think so.
“I had something to say to Vivian for a moment… But it won’t work as it is.”
“Huh?”
“Huh? Well, go to sleep. “It’s not urgent.”
Vivian, who was looking at Veronica with heavy drunken eyes, made a tongue twisting sound. Veronica let out a sigh of relief for a moment, and then looked into Einsel’s mirror with her sharp eyes. There was still nothing reflected in the mirror.
She could find Ain Cell who was away, but she didn’t want to force him to talk to her. Even so, she is a fairy who avoids herself, and I felt that if I forcefully catch her and talk to her, my bad relationship will get worse.
Veronica said that her work was done now that they were both back. She was about to quickly return to her cabin, but she turned her head and looked at Titania, as if remembering what she wanted to say.
Turning her head, she saw Vivian lying on her bed, using Titania’s lap as a pillow. I was momentarily shocked and irritated by that drunken appearance, but I sighed and continued speaking briefly.
“Oh, that’s right. I can’t come here for a while because I have work to do. “You can come back before you enter the academy.”
“What’s going on?”
“It’s not about anything… I got a call from someone I know for a while and I have to go. You can tell it to Vivian instead. “If I tell you now, I think I’ll forget about it tomorrow.”
“…It’s okay, right?”
Titania looked up at Veronica with worried eyes. She couldn’t help but be worried when Titania said she was away because she had heard all about Veronica’s past. Could it be that she is also working to turn people into fairies? Do.
She said she didn’t have to do that anymore, she promised she wouldn’t do it anymore…
Veronica, seeing that worried expression, burst into laughter.
“It’s not what you think. “When I was working outside, there was someone who borrowed my identity.”
“Like Princess Fiona?”
“That’s right, I received a call from someone like Princess Fiona asking for help again, so I decided to go and see her. It’ll just take a little longer because she can’t use big magic because she has to avoid the gaze of the Great Witch. It’s far away…”
Veronica said and gently stroked her Titania’s head. Her two years must have been a long time. Because she has developed to the point where she can say hello to Titania. At first, it was almost like a wild cat that refused to be touched by people…
Titania puffed out her cheeks slightly as I ruffled her hair. Veronica chuckled as she looked at her puffy cheeks, then took her comb out of her pocket and gently straightened Titania’s hair. Once she was more or less straightened out, she lowered her head again to look at Vivian and sighed.

“So, you tell this drunkard. Got it?”
“Okay. I’ll tell her mother. Therefore…”
Titania smiled brightly and looked at Veronica.
“Have a nice trip. I’ll wait.”
Veronica smiled bitterly when she was told to have a nice trip.
How long has it been since I heard such kind words in my repetitive life?
When I stayed here, it always felt like I was having a sweet dream. Vivian, who keeps treating herself as a daughter, and her cute younger sister, Titania. Although he always said no, somewhere in his heart, he felt confident that he considered these two like family.
Veronica pursed her lips for a moment, then arched the corners of her eyes and smiled.
“…Okay, I’ll be back. Wait for me.”

After the festival ended, time passed quickly.
This is the season when the snow accumulated in the garden melts and the early buds underneath begin to appear one by one. Every time a bud bloomed, time passed by indifferently.
The time that had passed since she met Titania, about ten years, had passed so quickly as the blink of an eye, but it seemed like the day when she would break up with Titania had come in an instant.
“Titania, is this the end of your load? “I said the academy’s dormitory isn’t that big, so I brought some clothes, uniforms, and…”
I lowered my head and looked at Ainsel’s body inside a large luggage bag.
“Yes, you took care of Ainsel well too.”
-Vivian…
“…Are you sure you want to go?”
-…Yes. I’ve thought about it a lot, but… I still want to be by the princess’s side. The reason I stay here is all for the princess…
In the end, Ainsel chose to follow Titania to the Academy rather than remain in the castle with me.
She was sad and bitter, but she couldn’t hold on to Eincel because she thought it was okay for her to be by Titania’s side.
Her wall, where Ain Cell had always been, had faded in the shape of Ain Cell’s mirror. She felt really bitter when the Aincel mirror, which had always been in this place until the color of the wall faded, was gone.
‘She always seemed like she would be by my side, but I never thought the day would come when she would finally leave.’
While I was making a sad expression, Titania was forcibly packing her things with a sad expression on her face. She made it clear that she didn’t want to go to the academy, put one piece of luggage in her bag and sighed, then put another piece of her luggage in her bag and sighed again.
There were still about three days left until I went to the academy, but I had to pack my bags now so I could leave without any trouble. She said she lived in a dormitory for three years and that she wore a school uniform so she didn’t need much clothes, but she still had a lot to prepare since she was a girl.
‘And… I have a story to tell Titania before she goes to her academy.’
Although the original story was completely twisted, there was one ‘thing’ she wanted Titania to get from her academy. An event to retrieve the ‘Fairy Egg’, the main event of the original story ‘Autumn’.
‘Because a fairy is born in nature with her own conception, she is not born from an ‘egg’…’
Anyway, the fairy egg was not an item that only witches could use, but also an item that ordinary people could use. Additionally, it is a one-time consumable item. The item description said:
[It is an egg containing a fairy, and it is unknown who the fairy sleeping inside the egg is. However, it cannot be woken up, nor can it be woken up normally. There is a superstition that this egg, which exists as a huge mass of magical power, will grant the user’s ‘wish’.]
User’s wish.
The words are ambiguous, but it was the only item in the game that allowed you to avoid a ‘bad ending’ once. As Vivian’s assassination attempts increased in the latter half of the film, it was easy to fall into a bad ending, so the Academy had to take care of this.
I don’t know how it will work out in reality, but if Titania takes care of this, she will definitely be helpful in some way. Because it was an item that could be used by ordinary people, not witches.
Unlike the game, I couldn’t directly interfere with the academy, so I had no choice but to tell Titania. Come find something called a fairy egg.
As she looked at Titania, who was grumbling and packing her things, she thought that they should talk to her while they slept together tonight. I felt like if I even talked about the Academy now, it would go in one ear and pass it out in the other. That moment when I just sigh.
“I’m here!”
The terrace door burst open and Veronica appeared. When Veronica appeared for the first time in almost three months, she had a strange smile on her face. Besides, that outfit Veronica is wearing…
“…It’s been a while since you came here. What is this… No, more than that, what kind of outfit is that?”
“Why? Doesn’t it suit you? “I think it suits me.”
Titania and I couldn’t help but widen her eyes at Veronica’s outfit. She has been hanging out for a long time. No, it was an outfit that could only fit Veronica’s face. That’s right…
“What I want to ask is… Why are you wearing the academy uniform?”
“? “Of course I’m going to wear it because I’m entering the academy, right?”
“What?”
As I looked at her in bewilderment, Veronica grinned, crossed her arms around Titania, and started twirling around her room like she was dancing. Titania must have been taken aback by Veronica’s outfit, so she opened her mouth and said nothing.
“A person who used a different identity requested me. I need an academy diploma for my daughter who has been secluded. It was originally supposed to be contacted last year, but I forced myself to postpone it for a year. “I’m going to enroll with Titania.”
“Me, me and…?”
“Yes, with you. It’s not just for you… Because I originally needed to go to the academy too. If I was going to go, I thought it would be a good idea to enroll with you. How is it? Surprised?”
“Ah, no, I was surprised, but…”
Titania was so shocked that her mouth widened. I guess you didn’t expect Veronica to go to the academy with you. Honestly, I was like that too. I watched the two of them spinning around for a moment, then frowned, recalling Veronica’s words.
‘Why does Veronica have to go to the academy? No way…’
When I motioned for Veronica to come closer, she made a clicking sound and came towards me. She whispered in Veronica’s ear in a voice so low that Titania could not hear. Surely not?
“Are you… by any chance, the reason you go to the academy is because of the ‘fairy egg’?”
Veronica’s face crumpled when she heard my whispering voice. That crumpled face confirmed my suspicions, so I couldn’t help but frown slightly. Of course Veronica…
“How do you know that? “There’s no way you would know that…?”
