Switching Partners Midway / Cyrene, Sneaking Off!

"Good~"

A familiar routine: bicker first, then get all lovey-dovey.

Hua Yi and March 7th had fooled around like this before, except back then, the people March 7th compared herself to were Stelle, Himeko, and the others—not Cipher.

But for Evernight, this experience was unfamiliar, something quite special.

In the past, every time she appeared, it was to deal with Memokeepers—to wipe out every last one of those who dared hunt March 7th. The malicious intrusions from [Memory] never ceased, and Evernight had long grown accustomed to them.

Killing and wandering were the norm in her life.

Perhaps it could not even be called a life—just numb repetition, with only her obsession with protecting March 7th remaining constant.

Even after the protected Little March had forgotten her memories and become completely ignorant of everything—turning rather silly as she happily continued her Trailblaze journey—Evernight had never felt melancholy.

Why could March enjoy life and embrace beautiful things while I could only hide in the shadows?

Such thoughts had never existed.

Evernight had never tried to ask for anything.

Yet at this very moment, being with Hua Yi brought a sweetness akin to falling in love, and a sense of fulfillment kept welling up within her.

There was no need for the stages of meeting and getting to know one another. Hidden deep within March 7th's memories, Evernight knew everything March 7th knew and had long become thoroughly familiar with Hua Yi from one side alone.

Those memories of love were included as well.

Ahem, Evernight could hardly erase those memories too, could she? That would be nothing but malicious harm toward March 7th!

She was a secret guardian, and she was also filled with gratitude toward Hua Yi.

Because the Great Hero protected March 7th, overturning one tragedy after another along
