Chapter 391

However, Haihara remembers that the day she woke up was Christmas Day.

In other words, as an adult, she missed Christmas with them.

"Ah."

She called out softly.

Then, she pinched a sign and compared it to the essay in her arms signed "Kirishima Ai".

"This should be hers, right?"

While the writing wasn't particularly beautiful, it was quite neat and earnest.

Moreover, it contains a lot of Chinese characters.

Roland simply smiled:

What do you think?

Haihara looked at it for a while longer, then read the wish the child had written, "I hope everything goes smoothly and peacefully."

It's really just a very ordinary wish.

But why does it look so familiar?

With that in mind, she started looking for the next person.

The person's wish sign was hanging in an inconspicuous corner, but because the handwriting was so beautiful, Haihara recognized it easily.

It should be Kuroki Yuka.

The wish was definitely written by that person.

It said, "I hope to get a perfect score on the exam so that Miss Lily will reward me handsomely," Haihara can just pretend she didn't understand it.

At this point, Haihara finally remembered.

"When I woke up, there was a small booklet left on me, with some words written on it that I didn't understand. Now I know, it was a wish list."

Haihara suddenly realized, and sighed calmly.

This happened when she had just lost her memory. Among the odds and ends in her schoolbag, which she didn't know where they came from, was an inconspicuous little booklet.

It had other people's names written on it, along with their corresponding wishes.

Only now did she understand what it was.

In this way, she can easily find the wishing plaque with the ugliest Takanashi's.

The wishing sign for Takanashi was hung quite high; she had to jump to reach it.

That means we're only missing one person.

That person named Sakaki Chika.

Why is this thing left on me?

Haihara Lily Chou's lips gradually curved downwards as she flipped over the wish cards one by one, but none of them matched.

Didn't that person write a wish on a plaque?

"Perhaps it's because you happened to have this booklet with you before you lost your memory, and you wanted to give it to them as a gift?"

Roland, of course, did not witness it firsthand.

However, the teacher she remembered was undoubtedly someone who would give gifts to every girl he knew on holidays like this.

After searching for a while without finding Sakaki Chika's wishing plaque, Haihara Lily Chou was somewhat discouraged.

Roland took two steps forward, until he was right next to Haihara.

The girl's shoulder rested against the girl's shoulder.

Naturally, Roland raised his head.

"If it can't be found, maybe the child hung the wishing sign up really high up?"

"She can't possibly reach that height."

Haihara thought this, she looked up and was surprised to find two exceptionally tall wishing plaques hanging at a height she couldn't reach.

It looked like a very tall person deliberately stood on tiptoe and stretched out their arms to hang up.

"Within reach."

Roland said with a smile.

"Want me to teach you? Come here, let me hold you so you can reach there."

Haihara found it strange that someone shorter than her would suddenly offer to pick her up.

However, that is one possible solution.

After a moment of coy hesitation, Haihara inexplicably agreed.

When Roland picked her up so easily, she realized something was very strange. In her newly acquired memories, Roland was clearly not an ordinary person.

So Haihara couldn't help but ask:

"... Can't we use Magic?"

Even Magic would be more palatable than being hugged like this.

Although Roland's perfume smelled very good.

"How can that be? If I don't hold you in my own hands, I won't be able to appreciate your weight and presence."

Upon hearing this, Haihara's expression became awkward and strange:

"Are you saying I'm heavy?"

"Excuse me, but you said it yourself."

Roland's smile was truly luxurious and captivating.

It reminds Haihara of the beauty of expensive gemstones.

Chatting with Roland was very relaxing, and Roland's arms and embrace made her feel safe. So, Haihara was held by Roland and kept reaching up until she finally reached the two signs.

That's really tall.

After Roland put her down, she examined the two wishing cards.

"Found it."

Haihara took a closer look at the pink sign.

The characters are round and written very small, with little flowers next to them.

"This one next to mine must be yours, I recognize it!"

Roland, her eyes crinkling with laughter, imitated Haihara and started playing a word-recognition game.

Upon hearing this, Haihara couldn't help but glance at the wishing plaque beside her.

What are my wishes when I grow up?

If it's a bad wish, it's quite embarrassing to let others see it.

She glanced at the beautiful, casual handwriting that belonged to adults.

And read it aloud, word by word:

"The wishes listed below this sign will come true, and if they don't, there's nothing we can do about it."

"..."

Haihara felt that she was truly utterly rotten.

Furthermore, if that's the case, why hang Sakaki Chika's wish plaque next to his own?

In that case, wouldn't that child's wish be out of reach?

"Forget it, it's unlikely to actually happen anyway."

A wish is just a wish.

It's not important.

Let's take a look at Sakaki Chika's wish.

When she saw the unfamiliar girl's wish, she stood still for a moment.

The light from the streetlights and the speckles of colored lights shone on her fair profile.

"I hope everyone is safe and sound, and can smile again."

"Also, I hope my graduation concert will end smoothly and successfully, and that everyone won't be saddened by my impulsiveness. I hope I can be a qualified idol and go all the way."

Idol, graduation.

These two unfamiliar words were suddenly presented to her.

That child is an idol.

Although I had heard of them before, I had never had the chance to listen to any of their songs.

I wonder if he's her type.

But it seems too late now.

Before we even had a chance to learn anything, we were about to miss out?

Although I didn't understand anything, I felt inexplicably disappointed.

It seems like something similar has happened before.

Haihara Lily Chou quickly realized that she seemed to have been immersed in her own world for too long.

This man named Roland was so indulgent and doting on her that she forgot she was the one who initiated the contact.

"I'm sorry, I've been looking for the sign here, which has completely delayed my conversation with you..."

Roland's appearance remained unchanged.

She stood with her hands behind her back, adopting the air of a nobleman or gentleman, completely at odds with her youthful appearance.

"It's alright, and there's no need to worry about it."

"It's never too late for you to say what you want to say, because I will always be here waiting to hear you."

In other words, we can start talking now.

This girl is almost identical to the one in Haihara's memories; her appearance is virtually unchanged.

In my memory, she should have been dressed more lavishly, adorned with many jewels.

If I remember correctly...

The name of the person I remember is Roland Eldritch.

She is a Magic girl known as the "Lord Gemstone".

She was also that Witch's only student.

"Always will."

The girl smiled, her long, silvery-white hair seemingly unchanged through the vast expanse of time.

Chapter 157 is about the teacher.

In fact, today's temperature Haihara, but everyone she knows now seems to be quite unafraid of the cold.

The overly quiet school square was completely unfamiliar to Haihara.

How can I describe this feeling?

In the entirety of her life, she had never experienced anything like this.

As she looked at Roland, memories of that Witch resurfaced in her mind. In those memories, Roland looked just like this, like a well-behaved, obedient, and considerate elegant white cat.

But it is also elusive.

"After coming into contact with the Magic girl's Transformation Crystal, many memories that didn't belong to me appeared in my mind."

"You will appear in that place."
