The fact that I was going to the twilight danger zone again gave me a preparation period. But I didn't have to make any special preparations.

　I'm used to that place, but all I need is the ability to survive.

　And I don't need that much sleep or food right now. As long as I have the minimum, my body is fine now.

'Julia. Are you ready to go?
"Seniors,

　I meet Eira-senpai in the base. As I recall, Eira-senpai is also supposed to go to the twilight on another mission. But it's not on the front lines, unlike us.

　Among the special class anti-magicians, only the higher level members head beyond level 5. Eira-senpai is leaked from there.

　But surely, there will come a time when we will need our senior's help.

''Preparation, yes. In my case, even the bare minimum is fine, so not so much time.''
I see. Well, we won't be seeing each other for a while.
'Yes. We'll miss you.
Do you really think...?

　Senpai looks up at me intently. As she does so, her peach-colored twin-tails sway slightly.

''Yes. I'm thinking...''
Then you should have a little more emotion, but...
Huh. I see.
'Well, okay. That's what makes Julia so good.
"?　Do I have to be afraid?

　Then the topic of conversation turns to the mission.

　The expressions on each other's faces are serious. A slight tension tenses up.

'........we're finally here.
Yes.
I'll have to take Belle's thoughts on this one, too.
'Yes. I'm sure Mr. Bell is watching from the blue sky.
Yeah. And it's not just Bell. We have to keep moving forward for all the friends we've sacrificed for.

　Senpai suddenly stares at the scenery outside. I stare at her profile. She's small and very pretty looking. She looks younger than me.

　But I don't know why.

　Suddenly, he acts very maturely. I found it extremely attractive.

I'm sure you'll be able to find it. You're beautiful.
'Huh........?　What happened to you all of a sudden?!

　And when I say what I think, my face turns red and I start to panic.

'Oh, I'm sorry. Just, a thought came out of my voice.''
Shit!　Don't be so abrupt and weird!
'I'm sorry. That wasn't very tense.
Well, it's not that I don't like it, but...　It's just that........you don't think about the time and place, do you!
"?　Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

　The older man said that as he shook his peach-colored, glossy twin-tails with a flutter.

　That's right. In order for us to laugh at each other like this again, we have no choice but to complete the task we've been assigned.

So long, Julia. See you later.
Yes. I'll see you soon.

　He turned on his heel.

　There was no looking back.
