See You Tomorrow~

What does it feel like to step into the Ferris wheel cabin again? Even the two geniuses, Miss Herta and Seraphis, couldn't quite explain it.

But without a doubt, that feeling carried a sense of nostalgia.

Sera leaned back gently in her chair, her dazzling golden eyes gazing at the sky. There was no moon tonight, Sera mused. The moon was obscured by clouds, and along with the stars, it looked... like rain was about to fall.

It's raining... It seems like most farewells happen in the rain. Rainy days seem especially suitable for times of sadness.

Sera loved rainy days, even when the rain clouds obscured the moon. When it rained, with only the sound of raindrops falling around him, Sera found the atmosphere peaceful and comforting.

Herta rested his chin on his right hand, silently watching Sera, his eyes unblinking, as if trying to etch Sera's image into his mind forever.

The Ferris wheel slowly rose, and the clouds in the sky seemed to be getting denser, whether it was Sera's imagination or not. But even if it rained, it wouldn't matter, and it wouldn't matter if the fireworks weren't set off.

Miss Herta gazed at the dark clouds above, her expression unchanged. She knew, of course, that it was going to rain. But so what? The fireworks were specially made; they could still be set off in the rain, and they would be just as beautiful.

Of course, Miss Herta didn't make this. She's far too incompetent; even her kindergarten wouldn't have bothered with something like this.

"Fireworks don't matter."

Miss Herta extended her left hand and grasped Sera's right hand, a deep smile in her eyes that masked the underlying sadness.

"The fireworks commonly used on the Blue can be set off even in inclement weather."

In Sera's words, it's like this. "Even on a rainy day, I can still set off fireworks."

Hehe~

Sera was amused by Miss Herta's words, his eyes crinkling with laughter, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curving upwards. He couldn't help but tease her.

"Why didn't Miss Herta look down today to see when they'd start setting off the fireworks?"

Because I want to see you more.

Her voice was soft, yet it couldn't hide the sorrow within. Miss Herta spoke from the bottom of her heart, leaving both of them stunned.

A silence fell over them. Both wanted to say something to ease the tension, but neither knew what to say, so they could only sit there awkwardly, holding hands.

After a long while, Sera suddenly burst out laughing.

Hahaha~

Why are we acting like two idiots?

The laughter broke the silence between the two and ignited a conversation.

"Heh~"

Miss Herta laughed as well.

"I'm not stupid. Here—only the idiot opposite me always gets lost and can't tell the difference between a purple lily and a purple lisianthus."

Why be so impressed by something like this?!

Sera couldn't help but let out a cry, her heart filled with shyness and helplessness. How could he remember things that embarrassed him so clearly!

"The Remembrance of being with you are very vivid; every detail is clearly etched in my mind."

Besides, I'm from the Herta; isn't having a genius-level Remembrance a basic ability?

Miss Herta spoke, she pointed at Sera.

"Aren't you even better than me in this aspect?"

"This is just an innate ability of mine; I simply memorized the information. It doesn't make me any better than others; it's just a matter of taking a shortcut."

"Okay, why do you always belittle yourself like this? You're so insecure."

Miss Herta had always noticed Sera's lack of confidence in his genius status; firstly, he wasn't a member of the Genius Society, and secondly, there was something about his own inner...

self-abasement.

Sera was always tainted by a sense of inferiority, so he wouldn't make a decision unless he truly had no other choice.

Breaking this boy's inferiority complex is actually very simple; all it takes is victory. Miss Herta believes that Sera, who gains confidence through victory, will surely be just as proud as she, Herta.

"Hmm..."

Sera hesitated, unsure of what to say, a torrential downpour began outside the Ferris wheel. It was fast, dense, and heavy.

Tap tap tap.

The sound of rain hitting the cabin was clearly audible.

The embarrassment in Sera's eyes faded, replaced by tenderness, just as the Ferris wheel reached its highest point. And so—fireworks burst forth in the rainy night sky.

"Look, the fireworks have started!"

Although she said this and pointed to the fireworks outside the window, Sera's eyes were not on the fireworks, but on Miss Herta.

Herta simply smiled upon hearing the voice, her eyes fixed on the most beautiful 'firework' in her heart.

Sera and Miss Herta's eyes met, their gazes revealing only a knowing smile, without any sign of shock.

However, Sera soon did something that puzzled Miss Herta. Sera stood up in the Ferris wheel cabin, and Miss Herta looked at her with some doubt, but Sera's next move was beyond her expectations.

Sera activated her power towards the cabin door, and the door slowly opened. Herta looked at her with some confusion. Sera stood with her back to the door, and her hidden six wings unfolded, like an invisible barrier that shielded Sera from all the rain.

"Miss Herta, would you like to fly up into the sky with me and watch the fireworks?"

As fireworks burst behind her, Sera tilted her head, smiled, and reached out her hand to the Herta.

"Certainly."

Without hesitation, Miss Herta grasped his hand; she would be there for Sera no matter what he wanted to do.

As if by magic, Sera pulled Miss Herta along and they began to fly into the air. Herta did not feel the pull of gravity; her body felt very light.

Fireworks bloomed around them, but they only had eyes for each other.

30.

The countdown began.

Sera began pulling Miss Herta downwards.

Time was ticking away, and Sera was flying very fast.

In the final 10 seconds, Sera placed Miss Herta on the ground, but remained in a diving posture, smiling at Sera Herta below.

5

"Herta..."

4

Sera's feet began to dissipate.

"Us."

3,2

"See you tomorrow..."

1.

As soon as she finished speaking, Sera's body turned into purple light and vanished before her.

Miss Herta reached out as if to grab something, but all the points of light scattered from her hand.

Miss Herta went home with her eyes downcast, feeling empty inside, as if something was missing.

As soon as I got home, my eyes were drawn to the witch's Herta doll.

"Ms. Herta."

No. 0 also came out carrying a doll.

Please take off your hat and let me see.

Herta strode forward, reached out and took off his hat; inside was a note.

[Herta, may you always be so proud~]

"..."

Miss Herta fell silent and slowly walked towards the laboratory.

Upon arrival, she looked around.

"Aren't you coming out yet? The Finality."

йста...

I will temporarily seal those Remembrance within me, and I will allow you to meet again in the future.

Miss Herta easily understood the Terminus's whisper.

"Hey, you're the one who planted those purple lisianthus flowers at the campsite, aren't you?"

Eternal and hopeless love, but Miss Herta will cross that hopelessness and move towards the future.

. yes

I agree.

Sera, see you tomorrow.
