【141】
A delicate floral fragrance drifts through the air.
I’d always wondered what scent would emerge when I formed a Bijou bond.
From Rasifer and me came the aroma of a vast, blooming meadow.
So free, so boundless.
“Pardon me.”
The moment I gave a slight nod, Rasifer wrapped his arm around my waist and teleported us away.
The scene before my eyes vanished in an instant, replaced by a dark night sky.
Beneath my feet lay the city lights, suspended within an expanse of darkness where countless stars seemed ready to pour down.
“Wow! Are we floating in the sky right now?”
“Yes. Do you like it? I thought you would.”
“I love it!!”
The Jellyfish seemed delighted too, suddenly popping into existence here and there, bobbing gently.
“If I let go of your hand here… will I fall?”
After admiring the view for a moment, I suddenly grew serious and asked. Rasifer burst into laughter.
“No, that won’t happen. I won’t let it.”
[The Air Spirit King ‘Shapasi’ adds:]
[I too shall not permit it.]
I see.
That’s a relief.
Then should I let go?
“Still…”
“Hmm?”
“I’d like it if you held on. I’m scared.”
Rasifer caught my hand just as it was slipping away.
Not gripping tightly, but holding just the tips of my fingers.
He wore such a pitiful expression that I couldn’t bring myself to be harsh.
“I want to show you Laximon. The stars are truly beautiful there.”
“I want to see it.”
“I could take you tonight… but then the Admiral would throw an absolute fit.”
Rasifer released a sigh through his pink lips.
Father aside, the Spirit Kings are united in their opposition as well.
[The Earth Spirit King ‘■’ says that visiting your boyfriend’s home should wait until you’re grown.]
[The Water Spirit King ‘Aurora’ issues a stern warning.]
[The Flame Spirit King ‘Flammeus’ flatly states that no matter how close your bond, you mustn’t act without parental permission.]
Yes, yes!
I don’t want to be scolded by the Spirit Kings.
But here’s the thing—as I was reading the shimmering text, I noticed Rasifer’s gaze drifting in that direction too.
‘Surely he can’t read the shimmering text, can he?’
Just as I was beginning to suspect, someone suddenly leaped up against the Imperial Palace wall with tremendous force.
“Superti!”
“Oh, Father!”
“Come here.”
Father stood on the rooftop with his arms spread wide toward me. I leaped down to him without hesitation.
There was not a shred of doubt in my mind—I knew with absolute certainty that he would catch me, no matter where I fell.
“Do you have any idea how startled I was when you vanished from the Banquet Hall?”
“Hehe, Rasifer showed me the night sky.”
“That insolent fool….”
Grind, grind.
Rasifer descended gracefully before Father, who was grinding his teeth while holding me, and stood with perfect courtesy.
“Good evening, Admiral.”
“…?”
“It has been a long time. I trust you have been well?”
“….”
Why wasn’t Father saying anything?
The Spirit Kings sent me a cascade of glittering text as I tilted my head in confusion.
[The Emotion Spirit King ‘■■■’ is roaring with laughter.]
[Diagon has frozen solid!]
Father?
Why?
“…My daughter needs her rest now. We shall speak tomorrow.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Rasifer withdrew gracefully and gazed at me with tenderness. Since a yawn was already escaping me, I waved back without hesitation.
We would see each other again tomorrow anyway.
‘So… in the end, I truly am Viju’s Companion.’
That was enough.
I was content with that.
I had longed for this since ages past, and if it were truly him, I could ask for nothing more.
‘Since I’ll be spending the rest of my life with Rasifer, I should devote myself to my family during these childhood years!’
Cradled limply in Father’s arms as we returned, I yawned once more.
Father held me so tightly it seemed he never wanted to let go, and I couldn’t help but giggle at the feeling.
“Let’s live together forever, Superti.”
“Hmm?”
“Don’t go to that fool. A thousand years is far too soon.”
Father spoke with utmost seriousness as he carried me back to my Room.
I recited to him exactly what Mother always said.
“Father, Mother says you shouldn’t interfere with your daughter’s romance!”
“I’m not interfering—I’m simply saying it’s too early. We haven’t spent nearly enough time together yet… There are so many other men in the world. There’s no reason it has to be Rasifer Laximon specifically….”
“Why not? Rasifer is beautiful and well-mannered and has a wonderful personality.”
When I said “beautiful,” Father made a choking sound. When I said “well-mannered,” he made another strangled noise.
The moment Father heard me say “good personality,” he grabbed the back of his neck, and I found myself growing frustrated.
It seemed Rasifer was the type to be frequently misunderstood.
‘I really need to clear up the misunderstandings about Rasifer.’
Our child isn’t like that!
* * *
“Ah, what a shame.”
Rasifer watched for a long time as Superti vanished into the Admiral’s arms, which radiated a terrifying aura.
Until even her fragrance had faded away.
Still unsatisfied, he swept his own arms across his body and curled up.
‘You were just here.’
But now you’re gone.
Of course, I could find you whenever I wished.
I was in a position where that was possible now. I had obtained such a status.
There were some obstacles, but they were people Superti cherished, so I could endure them well enough.
‘And yet.’
This intangible longing knows no bounds.
This must be some kind of terrible affliction.
One could even call it a hereditary disease of the Rasifer Laximon family.
With no cure, incurable—a condition with no name, no medicine.
If I had to name it… perhaps anxiety disorder.
‘You are such a stable person, yet I am this unstable.’
You probably will never understand me in your lifetime.
‘And I don’t want to carelessly expose my anxiety and transfer it to you.’
You are already perfect as you are.
The hole in my heart has been there since birth, so I must desperately devour things to fill it, but if you discover that, you might grow tired of me.
You might even be frightened.
‘Because even I don’t know how much I need to receive before I’m satisfied.’
So for now, cautiously, I won’t show you all of myself. And I won’t try to accept all of you either.
Keeping distance.
Deliberately placing obstacles between us.
“So… for now, let’s meet tomorrow.”
And have sweet dreams.
Rasifer swallowed his regret and quietly disappeared.
That brief but intense bond burned in his heart like wildfire.
* * *
The next morning, the moment I opened my eyes, I thought to myself.
Did I really become Rasifer and Bijou’s Companion?!
I hadn’t quite believed it at first, but when I went downstairs for breakfast, my older brothers and Father’s reactions were so serious that I could tell.
That it had really happened.
“Our youngest… with Rasifer Laximon?”
“That won’t do! Already a Companion? What are you talking about!”
Mikard muttered vacantly, his voice hollow, while Iliad burst out shouting.
Elzen had buried his face in both hands for some reason, and Naiad simply stared blankly into the void.
The common thread among them was that they all wore disgruntled expressions.
“My youngest, you don’t necessarily have to marry Bijou’s Companion. You understand, right?”
The moment I sat down in the chair, Naiad opened his mouth.
“You can treat Bijou’s Companion like a life partner and keep a lover separate. There are couples who do that.”
“…Really? Why would anyone do that?”
“That’s… more of an adult matter.”
I couldn’t quite understand it.
That intensity I felt yesterday was addictive.
Once I’d tasted it, nothing else could satisfy me.
Who else could make my very core tremble like that?
Who else but Rasifer could fulfill me completely?
I only need him.
“It’s an open secret, but being Bijou’s Companion and love are separate matters.”
That was when it happened.
After slow footsteps, Lewiwood appeared.
