SIDE: Josetteer.

'From José: ...... and now I can give it to you tomorrow . It's been a long time since I've handed you a letter ...... Frank, I hope you're doing well.
　I'll never forgive you for hurting the Philibert family.
　I will never forgive you. And for the indiscriminate killing of so many children, and most of all, for depriving me of one of my few opportunities.

"Gosh, I'm in the sixth grade now. This is the end of this year's correspondence: ......
　Your father will be angry with you if you don't make any more progress before you graduate from the nobleman's school .
　Besides, I'm sure he'll have you engaged to a man you don't even know who he is. .......
　Maybe it's a dirty old man.
　He thinks that's normal. Even your brother was seriously planning on marrying a replacement.

But Mr. Frank has his own family history. ......
　I have to marry a church lady, and I can't be married to Frank.
　I knew that for a long time.
　But I can't give up and keep writing letters.
　When I think about it, I naturally burst into tears.

"Miss. How can I help you with ......?

"I'm fine. Everything's fine. So who's our guest?

Master Leena.
　Leena?　Ah, gentle Leena-san would be going around greeting her good friends as soon as she got back to the dormitory.

Leena-san. Well, I'll get it.


'Already, so it's enough for me . Shelly, please go back to your room!
　As I open the door, I hear Leena's voice at the next door. Unusually, she's a little hoarse.
　Did you and Sherry have some kind of fight?
　That's unusual. They've always been so close.

All right. ....... When you're done, why don't you come over to my room as soon as you're done?　I'm lonely.

All right. I'll go straight to Sherry's room when I'm done. So just wait in your room!
　Yeah ...... It doesn't look like a fight . They seem to be rather flirting with each other.
　I knew those two would be close.

Oh, I'm sorry!
　I pushed Sherry into the room and when Leena noticed me, she rushed over to me.

'It's okay . Did Leena and the others arrive at the dorm today?

''Yes . Because of Leo-kun's transition, I stayed in Mladin territory until the last minute.
　That's right. Leo-san, you had the transference skill.
　And Sherry and Leena were in Leo's territory during the holidays.

I'm jealous. It's more than a week's wagon ride from my domain.
　I miss that beautiful view of the ocean, but it's hard to get home because of the long travel time.

That's tough. I should be more grateful to Leo, after all.

Yes. Oh, it's not a good time to talk here, so why don't we go inside and have a cup of tea and talk?
　I wanted to talk to Ms. Leena a little more, so I opened the door and invited her into the room .
　She said she was going to be back early to Ms. Sherry, and I wondered if she would say no.

''Well ......, yes. I'll take you up on your offer. I really wanted to ask you something, José.

Me?　...... Okay . Go ahead.
　What is it?　Did I have to ask you something?

Sorry to disturb you, sir.


So what were you going to ask me?
　I walked into my room and sat down across from Leena, and I didn't want to be bothered by what she was going to ask me, so I quickly got down to business .

'It's about Frank and José. Are you going to resume your correspondence tomorrow?

'What?　Ah, yes ...... I intend to do that.
　A question I wasn't expecting, and it took me a while to answer it.
　I didn't expect you to ask me about it.
　I had talked to her about it, but she had never asked me about the situation, so I was surprised.

I see. What is your opinion of this situation, José?


　Ugh...... today, Leena, you keep asking me questions that are hard to answer .

I know . I know that I can't marry Mr. Frank if you keep this up ....... I know that I can't marry Mr. Frank.

'There's an impatience: ....... So let me just ask you this . Do you like Mr. Frank properly and with all your heart, and do you really want to marry him ...... no matter what?

......
　I'm not kidding or curious. ......
　It's because Leena's eyes are so serious.
　Is this a test for me?

No lies or deceptions.
　I won't forgive you if you don't tell me the truth!　And Leena's eyesight is even stronger now.
　Ugh ...... this is impossible to refuse.

As I explained to Leena before, it was your father's orders to ...... begin with.
　I had to marry Frank for the house ...... and.
　So I tried to get along somehow, but we were in different classes ...... at the time, and I didn't have the courage to go out of my way to see him.
　Then I came up with the idea of writing letters.
　At first, I sent the letter without meeting Frank, hoping that he would get to know me at .......
　I didn't want a reply.
　And then, the next day after I sent the letter, the letter arrived to me.
　I can't tell you how pleased I was when I saw Frank's beautiful handwriting: .......
　However, I couldn't be happy because all I could read was an apology.
　Mr. Frank was really apologetic, explaining the situation at home in detail.
　Seeing that, my heart was very tight.
　My parents ordered me to send a letter, and I was just feeling light-hearted about it. ...... I was really sorry that Frank was really apologizing because he thought he was going to hurt me.
　I hurriedly wrote a letter of apology . I wrote all the things my parents ordered me to do and apologized for cheating them. I apologized.
　Then, I received a reply from Frank immediately.
　I wrote: ...... We both have family matters to deal with, so can't we just end up apologizing to each other?　It was .
　Then the letter ended with ...... Can we continue to exchange letters?　It was .
　Mr. Frank suggested that we continue to write to each other, even though he might be offended.
　I love that kindness in him.
　I fell in love with him from that moment on, regardless of my parents or anything else.
　I was supposed to get her to fall in love with me, but she returned the favor: ......

"I'm so relieved you're feeling that much. I'm so glad you feel that way. We're supporting your friendship, Mr. Jose and Frank.

"We?

We'll deal with it another time. I'll see you in the morning for your letter?

Yes. . in the middle of nowhere.
　More importantly, what's the answer to the question?
　Oh, I'm curious.

"Oh, yeah? ...... Okay. I'll let him know.

What?
　Tell who?

Oh, don't worry about it. It's just a misunderstanding.

'I see. ......'
　Ugh ...... Leena is hiding something.
　I can't sleep tonight because I'm worried about this.
　I'll have to get up early tomorrow. .......

Okay, I have to wait for Sherry, so I'll leave you guys. I'll talk to you later?　Oh, I'm so happy right now. I'd appreciate it if you could remember this much.

'What?　Ha, yes ...... I get it.
　It's true that ...... Leena seems happy, but ...... do you need to say that now?
　Sure enough, I was too worried about the truth of Leena's words that night to fall asleep easily .
