'I could hardly sleep thinking about what kind of occupation Mira would be given, Dad, I was so nervous!
Yeah, well, so is your mother.

　Dad and Mom have an exchange that I've heard somewhere, but today is the day Mila receives her blessing.

　I remember ten years ago today.
　I was given the profession of "unemployed".
　It's the outlier of the outliers with no benefit from skills, but.......

So the last decade has proven that it didn't matter if you didn't have any skills after all.
'I don't think we should generalize about that...'

　Laina looks at me with half-lidded eyes.

'Hm?　Is that right?　I think anyone can do it if they work hard enough.
There aren't many people in your position that could put forth that level of effort.

　Why am I being dissed by my wife in the morning?
　Could he be in a bad mood?

'I see. Because I haven't kissed you good morning yet.

　I don't see it much these days, but my mom and dad used to do it a lot.
　I heard that was the secret to marital bliss.

What are you talking about?
'You needn't be so shy. Last night--
'Waaaaaaaah!　Don't say that here!

　Laina turned red and ran away.

'Speaking of which, Mila hasn't woken up yet, has she?
'Oh, yes. We should be getting ready soon.
Okay, your father will go wake you up.
'Please don't do this, it will put me in a bad mood. It's a day to receive a blessing from the Goddess.
Why, Mira!　Daddy loves you so much!
'It's because you try to kiss my sleeping face. Can I ask you for a favor, Arel?
Of course.

　While Dad starts to cry, I head to Mira's room.

　I don't do the folly of going into her room like my dad did, but I knock on the door and say to her, "Mira.

I knock on the door and say, "Mila. You have to get up soon. ........Mira?

　But no matter how many times I called out to him, he didn't answer.

'Mira, I'm coming in.'

　I had no choice but to go in.

"....not there?

　The bed where Mira was supposed to be sleeping was empty.
　Is she already awake?
　I couldn't find him under the bed or in the closet.

　I also looked around the bathroom, my room and my dad's bedroom, but I couldn't find him anywhere.

'He's not in here, is he?

　When I opened the door of the warehouse that I don't usually use much, I found Laina inside.

''Well what are you doing?''
Uh-oh.

　Anyway, it's all about Mira now.
　I'm going back to the living room.

"Dad, Mom, it's hard. I can't see Mira anywhere.
What?
Don't tell me he's already gone off on his own...?
'Mother, you're right, that's not going to happen. I'd love to see his face if he'd leave his family and go off on his own.
"...and...

　For some reason, my dad and mom give me a subtle look at my words.
　What did I say that was so strange?

　And then Befi, who was lounging on the couch, pointed out the window.

I just saw him walk away.
Are you sure?
"Hm.
How long?
About thirty minutes ago. Maybe.

　Judging by the direction, it's the church.
　I don't think she really went alone?

'Mila's gone greedy...'
"...and...

　Mom and Dad look at me again with a subtle look on their faces.

　We had no choice but to follow Mira to the church, me, my dad and my mom.
　Laina I don't know what's going on so let's just let it go.

'What?'
What's going on?

　When I enter the church, the usual solemn atmosphere is gone, but for some reason it is noisy.
　And there is a small crowd of people in front of the altar.

　It looks like someone has fallen down.
　As I approached, I realized that it was Rosette, the bishop who also took care of me and Laina's wedding ceremony.
　Of course, she is also an important person who will be performing today's ceremony.

"Hey, what happened?
Leon!　And Farah-san and Arel-kun...!

　We ran up to them, and they all looked back at us in unison.

'Leon-kun...'

　Even Rosette, who had fallen down, noticed us and let out a thin voice.
　She seems to be conscious.

''Are you okay?''
Don't worry about it I'm just feeling a little sick...

　He looks pale, but from the looks of it, he doesn't seem to have any trauma.

'The sooner you rest in the back the better...'
'No ... but before I do ... I have to tell them this ...'

　Then we were shocked by the words Rosette uttered.

'Just now, Mira came here alone and I performed a blessing ceremony for her...'
""What?"

　After all, Mira had come alone, it seems.
　But the blessing ceremony was supposed to take place after everyone had gathered.
　Just because you came first doesn't mean you can't receive it first.

　So why Mila alone...?

She......you and your family are the only ones who can save her....so....
What the hell did Mira do?
....
So what does she do for...?
"...wha...wha...I can't...wha...I can't...say it...out of my mouth...
Mr. Rosette!

　Rosette's lips quivered as if she was frightened of something.
　Her complexion, which had been on the verge of getting better, is rapidly deteriorating again.

'You'd better let her rest at once!
Let's get him to the nap room!

　Rosette was carried into the back by everyone.

'Anyway, let's find Mira,'
Well, I guess...
Yes.

　I'm going to split up with my mom and dad and we're going to look for Mira.
