Mmmmmm...

　Queen Sandra was still enjoying her food.

　My seniors and I were watching her from a little distance. Right now, she seemed to be chatting amicably with Princess Liane. I didn't hear him up to that voice, but it was good to see that things were generally going well.

'Hey Julia,'
Yes, sir.

　We are sitting on a bench.

　Princess Riane has asked us to take some distance now because she has something to talk to Princess Sandra about. We then buy a meal from the stall and take a break together on the bench.

　I look next to her and see her peach-colored hair slightly swaying in the wind. In doing so, a citrusy smell escaped from my senpai's hair and escaped my nostrils.

　Then, she and her seniors are chatting together.

''It's kind of peaceful.''
...Yes.
But you know what? This is a lot of sacrifice, you know.
Yes.

　Hustle and bustle.

　There seemed to be a lot of people today, with all sorts of people coming and going.

　While looking at them, the senior suddenly said that.

　Peace. But this is a fleeting thing.

　We know it. The battle is still going on.

　We could say that the massive attack on the twilight has been a success. But this world is still ruled by this red-black twilight.

　I look up at the sky.

　Today, as always, the sky is full of twilight.

　I wonder how many people have only seen this sky from the time of their birth to the time of their death.

　I wonder how far we will really be able to reach the clear blue sky someday.

'Hey. What do you want to do when the fight is over, Julia?
'....I'm not sure. I can't think of anything right now.
'Me too. After all, we only know how to fight. And this magic is only being honed as a fighting skill.
Yeah, right.

　I think it's really great to see an attempt to incorporate magic into infrastructure and other things. This is how technology should have been developed in the first place.

　On the other hand, too, our magic is too blood smeared.

　My own hands are coated in the blood of my friends and enemies.

　A lot of things have really happened since I became a special class antimagician. I've seen a lot of deaths. I've lost people I care about.

　But we still have to move on.

"Well,

　The senior gets up from the bench.

　Eira senior is a big person with a big vessel. But his body is so small. With this small body, she continues to fight the twilight.

''Senpai,''
What?

　I turn around.

　Her twin-tails, tied on either side, float softly in the air.

　I stare into her eyes and tell her

'Let's continue to fight together. And when the fight is over, we'll both look for it again. And then we'll see what we can do from there.
''Well yes. Let's do that.


　We leave the bench.

　We keep going, carrying the will of our friends.
