【Chapter 121】

“Kail. Are you still awake?”

Looking at the clock, it was already 9 PM, close to nighttime.

It was time to sleep now.

“Hey, Aisha.”

Kail, with an unusually serious expression, closed the door handle and carefully approached me.

Carefully. That word doesn’t suit Kail at all.

“Do you have something on your mind?”

When I asked, he silently shook his head.

“Remember you promised to sleep with me like before if you went to eavesdrop on conversations?”

‘Ah. So that’s what he came to talk about.’

I was wondering when he would bring it up.

Because of the countless people who had visited my room over the past few days, Kail hadn’t been able to spend time alone with me.

Wiggle wiggle.

I moved my bottom to make room for Kail to lie down, and patted the blanket with my small palm, pat, pat.

“Of course! There wasn’t much to gain, but you listened to me well. Let’s sleep together today!”

When I said this with a giggle, Kail nodded and transformed into a cat with a poof! sound.

“Meow.”

Kail lightly leaped onto the bed and burrowed into my arms.

Being like this suddenly reminded me of the past.

When I didn’t know Kail was human, we always slept together with him in my arms.

‘Whenever I entered the bedroom, Kail was always sleeping on the bed.’

“This makes it feel like we’ve gone back to the old days. Right?”

When I asked while carefully covering him with the blanket, he purred with his face buried.

“Nyaaang-.”

Wow. It’s been a while since I heard Kail’s meowing.

I couldn’t help but giggle.

“Kail. When you talk like that, I have no idea what you’re saying.”

“Meow?”

“Meow?”

When I mimicked him, he narrowed his eyes into lines and tilted his head.

“Nyaang?”

It seemed like he was asking how a human could use cat language.

“I just copied you because I couldn’t understand what you were saying.”

As I curled up so Kail could sleep comfortably and fiddled with his white fur, he suddenly raised his head and touched my glass bottle with his soft front paw.

It seemed like he wanted me to check something.

“Oh, this? Don’t worry. I’m changing it once every 6 hours… Hm?”

But something was strange.

Mai had definitely changed it 2 hours ago, so it should be almost empty. But for some reason, the glass bottle was already half full.

“It’s filling up faster than usual…? Why?”

It didn’t matter since I could just change it anyway, but I was a bit surprised since this was the first time I’d seen it at night.

Does more magic accumulate at this time originally?

I couldn’t replace the glass bottle while sleeping.

At this rate, it seemed better to replace it early even if the bottle wasn’t completely full.

“Oh my, how smart. Are you telling me to replace the glass bottle? Somehow, you seem smarter now that you’ve turned into a cat than when you were human?”

I stroked his head as a compliment and replaced it with a new glass bottle.

Now it was time to sleep.

“Yawn.”

After dealing with visitors all day, I couldn’t stop yawning.

As I curled up, I felt Kail’s soft and warm presence in my arms.

“Kail. Do you still think my arms are your home?”

“Meow.”

Pop!

At those words, Kail poked his head out from my arms and nodded.

His eyes were glowing intensely, almost burdensome.

Wow. Just from this expression, I can tell what he’s answering.

“Hehe. But you’ve grown up now, so you need to become independent. Later when you grow up, like a normal person… yawn…”

As I yawned deeply from the overwhelming sleepiness, my eyes slowly closed as if under a spell.

Although I told him to become independent, it was just empty words that slipped out in my drowsiness.

I definitely wasn’t being serious.

But the next morning.

“Mmm. Kail…”

I unconsciously reached out to touch Kail, but the spot where the fluffy ball should have been felt empty.

“Hmm? Did you already wake up?”

As I rubbed my closed eyes and sat up-

“…?”

I saw a letter placed on the nightstand.

“What’s this?”

At first, I thought Kail had written it as a prank.

But as I began reading the letter in earnest, the color gradually drained from my face.

“What is this, what is this… this…”

Thud-!

I hastily pulled out the IV needle and burst out of the bedroom, slamming the door open.

And I screamed so loud the corridor echoed.

“Kail! Where did Kail go!”

The letter said he had returned to the Edge of the World.

* * *

[Since Kail cannot write yet, I am conveying his words on his behalf. Oh, by the way, I am Assistant Nox.

After Lady collapsed at the academy, we dismissed it as nothing serious for Lady’s peace of mind, but we actually detected something strange about Lady’s magic.

To get straight to the point, Lady’s magic is exactly the same as Kail’s. We need to investigate further for details, but it seems Kail’s magic entered Lady’s body through some coincidental event.]

It wasn’t a coincidental event.

That scene I saw in my dream.

To revive me after I died, Kail had infused his magic into me.

[The problem is that Kail’s growth period has begun, and every time Lady comes into contact with him, the magic in her body is affected. That’s probably why you’ve been feeling nauseous or fainting recently.

And his growth is accelerating day by day. He’s aware of it himself.

Now, just being in the same space could endanger Lady… so we’ve decided to stay at the Edge of the World until Kail’s growth is complete.]

The unbelievable contents of the letter kept echoing in my head.

Tears I had been trying to hold back began to well up in my eyes as I ran through the corridor.

[This decision was made by Kail himself. He seemed shocked after seeing Lady collapse.

He was the first to confess that he wanted to stay in the North until he could control his magic.]

That’s ridiculous. He’s a kid who can’t do anything without me.

He’ll whimper like a lost puppy.

[For reference, I also chose to go north with him to observe and study Kail’s condition.

There were many arguments with His Highness during this process… but what could I do? I just said I would resign. For me, who loves monster research, studying a Maein is like a dream job.]

Bang!

“Father!”

As soon as I threw open the door to the Duke’s study, I asked breathlessly, almost shouting.

“Where is Kail?”

He sat in his chair, looking at me with a completely unsurprised expression.

He already knew everything.

[I’d like to cut this short, but this guy keeps fidgeting beside me saying he has something he wants to leave behind. Kail insists this must be written.]

“Where did Kail go?!”

“Aisha. Calm down first.”

“There’s no way Kail would leave without saying goodbye to me!”

Father stood up from his seat and tried to hug me, but having already lost my reason, I pushed his hands away.

The rope tied around my wrist snapped from the force.

“Aisha!”

Crash—!

As the glass bottle that fell to the floor shattered with a terrible sound, Callipus quickly slipped his hands under my armpits and lifted me up.

[I don’t know what he means, but he still thinks Aisha’s embrace is his home.]

“Why didn’t you tell me before sending him away! He should have said goodbye at least!”

“This is exactly why Kail tried to leave without you knowing.”

[So he asks that you please wait until he returns home.]

“Waaaah!”

The moment the last sentence of the letter flashed through my mind, I burst into tears like a little child and buried myself in Callipus’s embrace.

It was all too sudden.

I had merely collapsed and woken up again, but he had become an adult far too suddenly.

He could still act childish.

I wouldn’t punish him anymore, so he could bother me all day long if he wanted.

But Kail had left.

* * *

At that moment, outside the ducal palace.

“What’s with this snow? Did they say it would snow today?”

The guards who were standing watch around the castle as usual looked up.

Snow had suddenly begun falling heavily.

“The North is like that. Weather doesn’t follow people’s wishes.”

“That’s true.”

They didn’t know, but it was Aisha’s ability resonating with her emotions that made the snow fall like tears.

The snow clouds spread widely.

From around the ducal palace to the entire North, from the North to the Central region.

“Your Majesty, it’s snowing outside!”

“…?”

The royal study.

Grace, who had been reviewing documents, looked out the window at the servant’s cry and gasped softly.

“Heavy snow in the Central region, this has never happened before….”

And.

“Snow?”

Kingdom of Doctia.

Aebin, who had been taking a walk, looked up and pulled his hands out of his pants pockets.

A snowflake he had touched once before landed on his palm and remained as moisture.

“This reminds me of Aisha. I wonder how she’s doing?”

“You’re thinking of that child now? Snow falling in the tropics? Isn’t the world going crazy?”

Despite Tri’s disgruntled complaints, he only smiled.

That day.

The sudden snow that covered the entire continent, including the Frozen Kingdom and Kingdom of Doctia, didn’t stop until Aisha fell asleep from exhaustion after crying.

And Kail, who had said he would return soon, didn’t appear for several years after that.

It was a very long and terrible night.
