Smack, Smack!

Hearing this,

Sara knew it was impossible.

Moreover,

she knew

that before long, Aogetsu Hyuga would leave her forever.

Even

her memories

would be erased.

She

would forget Aogetsu Hyuga forever!

At the thought of this, Sara's face, which had still been flushed pink, suddenly turned deathly pale.

It was the first time she had ever felt this way, the first time she had ever experienced such joy—and now it was going to disappear?! She couldn't accept it!

"No! I don't want to forget you! I don't want to be alone in Rōran anymore!!"

Sara shouted.

As she spoke, tears welled up in Sara's eyes.

Aogetsu Hyuga had not expected this girl to be so dependent on him.

But thinking about it, it made sense. Someone like Kazahana Koyuki, who already had some life experience, would not be so easily broken.

"Then I'll stay here and keep you company for a few more days."

Joy flashed across Sara's face. Although she still felt a deep sense of regret, there was good news—Cangyue could keep her company for several more days!

The days that followed became extremely monotonous.

As for Naruto, he trained in Rōran's plaza every day.

When he was tired,

he simply slept on the ground.

When he was hungry,

he would casually find a resident's home and mooch a meal.

The residents of Rōran all knew that Naruto had been one of those who liberated them, and they were more than willing to feed him.

If Naruto's life could still be considered fulfilling,

then Aogetsu Hyuga and Sara's lives were utterly debauched.

The throne, the hall, the bathroom, the balcony,
