I Picked Up a Witch With Amnesia

Epilogue. End of Happiness – 05

The long, long winter is over, and spring is upon us before we know it.

The blizzard that raged outside the window had long since disappeared, and outside, only a warm wind and gorgeous flowers were in full bloom.

The cold of midwinter that made us so cold can no longer be found. The air is so warm, and so is the beating of the beating heart.

In the midst of looking at the outside scenery filled with spring for such a long time, the promise I made with her one day came to mind. The promise we made when we said that if all the work that surrounds us is over and if winter is over, let’s go somewhere together.

Up until now, it’s not often that everyone has gathered in one place, and we don’t have memories of everyone getting together and having fun.

So this time, I’m going to go a little farther away. I ended up thinking that it wouldn’t be bad to go out to a place that I hadn’t been to before because I was busy, and have a bit of fun without worrying about the next day.

“I am unconditionally in favor. Personally, I am a person who thinks that not going somewhere to play when the weather outside is this sunny is also a kind of sin.”

“I agree too. To be honest, I was a little fed up with seeing snowstorms all winter. Sometimes I feel like I want to purify my eyes while looking at the bright flowers or greenery.”

“what? You’re the goddess of winter, but why do you hate winter? Is this supposed to be a form of self-loathing? Or is it homophobia?”

“…Bianca, the way you show off your ignorance is creative enough. Why do you think that your identity and likes and dislikes will be unconditionally connected? Your head of hair is also red, but didn’t you yourself hate red too? Anyway, you must be a poor creature who doesn’t know the word reverse limb.”

“Bullshit. Ariel, would you like me to make your hair red too? If you hit your head a few times and get some blood on it, your hair would be dyed red in no time.”

“I will decline. My purple hair can’t compare to your dried, bloody red hair. Cain even complimented me on how beautiful my hair was the other day?”

…Well, there was a small disturbance in the middle, but in the end, it could be said that everyone agreed to go to a distant place to play.

So I decided to go flower viewing with all the women. For that day, to forget everything, let go of everything, and have fun.

“Wow, what a beautiful place. It’s the first time I’ve heard of a place like this around here.”

“I know. To think that there was a place with such a beautiful view in the north…”

When we arrived at the place for flower viewing, all the women exclaimed as they looked at the colorful flowers in full bloom. Above all, the view of the nearby scenery filled with pink due to the cherry blossoms spreading everywhere was truly spectacular.

“I think you did well to come here. I think it will be a pleasant day.”

“Ariel, did you make a lunchbox today? Everything is good, but the lunch box made by the princess was very tasteless.”

“This is a pretty brazen statement on the subject of not having a drop of water on your hands. Bianca.”

Everyone was laughing, although the form of expression was different. The women put down what they usually carried on their backs, and were enjoying what they had come here for today, and were having fun.

They watched the flowers blooming brightly around them, and also shared lunches that Ariel had carefully made. Then, as if Kyrie felt quite bored, when she showed off her talent of making the flowers in full bloom around her instantly bloom and fall, Arya also created flowers that could not exist in spring and was laying them out in front of us as if she couldn’t lose.

Yes. Everyone in this room was having fun, enjoying the hustle and bustle.

…Except for one person, a woman sitting quietly at the base of a tree, reading a book, unable to approach them easily.

“…Sarah.”

Everyone is acting like an idiot with at least one screw missing, but seeing her enjoying reading, I quietly approach her.

“What are you doing here?”

“…Ah, Cain.”

As soon as I approach her, Sarah hurriedly puts down the book she was reading. No matter how much I looked at it, it didn’t seem like I was too engrossed in reading.

“What’s wrong, are you feeling a little uncomfortable or have something wrong today? Or are you uncomfortable hanging out with other women?”

I’ve been saying that for a while, but to be honest, I think the possibility of that is low. Because over the past time, Sarah has also seen many scenes of hanging out with or talking to other women.

Sarah made a lot of effort to get along with the other women, and as a result, all the other women showed signs of acknowledging her. Even Iris, it could be said that her relationships around her had stabilized so much that she didn’t express any dissatisfaction with the fact that some of the pieces of affection she had for them were for Sara.

“…No, not really. I just-”

Sarah hesitated for a moment at my question, then looked at me and sighed very lightly. Her gaze was on the other women who were giggling among themselves on the other side.

“Sometimes I have these thoughts. I wondered if I could really feel this happiness. And I wonder if I really deserve to stay by your side. So, I was in a bit of a quandary here for a while. sorry.”

“…question?”

“Because, compared to other women, I am an insignificant and insignificant woman.”

There was an inferiority complex in Sara’s eyes, which were looking at them, and there was something self-deprecating about herself in Sarah’s voice.

“Iris, Bianca, Ariel, Kirie, and Arya are all women who have talents that can be said to be exceptional in their fields, have a clear sense of purpose, and always move forward confidently. ”

“Perhaps those women, even without you, would have been able to overcome the obstacles blocking them. What those women really needed was some kind of opportunity to change their minds, not the strength to get through the situation.”

“…but not me. I have no power, no power, and without your help, I am a helpless woman who would still be stuck in the past.”

“In the past, when I was your only fiancé, you didn’t have to think about this. Because the world I know is so small.”

“But not anymore. I know the world is wide now Even though I know very well that it is not right to compare in the first place and that it is useless to compare, I am so intimidated. As for whether a woman like me was allowed to marry you while standing next to such prominent women.”

“…Sarah.”

At Sara’s words, I let out a slight sigh and collapsed down next to her. A gust of wind blew each other’s hair slightly.

Did you just say that you were in trouble with your own mouth? Surely he was right. Because I never imagined I would be struggling alone with such a stupid topic.

“Is that bad? That you can’t accomplish anything on your own and you have to get someone else’s help?”

“…What?”

For a moment, Sarah slightly frowned, perhaps not understanding what I was saying.

“A person is a being that cannot do anything alone. If you can do anything by yourself in the first place, why was a group created and why was a nation created? There’s nothing shameful about getting help from someone. What is really embarrassing is to accept fate and be frustrated without having the courage to ask anyone for help.”

Well, Sarah’s attitude is understandable enough. Are the women laughing and giggling over there usually good-looking women? Aren’t they women who each have the mighty power to change the balance of this world? If you look at women like that all day, I don’t think it’s understandable that you feel intimidated by yourself.

But I don’t think there is any need to be so frustrated. Certainly, Sarah must be an ordinary woman when viewed objectively. An ordinary woman who sometimes makes mistakes, sometimes suffers from her choices, and moves forward while reflecting on herself, just like people in the world do.

“If you were the only one who could overcome the situation you find yourself in, you would have to change. But isn’t it? The situation you were in was impossible to solve without outside intervention. And it was only that I had the power to help you.”

“To be honest, I don’t think that’s bad either. Aren’t the women standing over there very eminent women? Those women can live well without needing my help, but you are just an ordinary person like me. So I don’t think you need to change. Because I think it is also a man’s ability to embrace a woman’s current appearance without changing.”

“…..”

At Cain’s words, Sarah suddenly held her breath.

Ever since he was little, he has always been envious of birds.

I was envious of the birds flying freely in the sky. I was very envious of a bird that could fly anywhere it could go without restraint.

That’s why, I also thought that I wanted to live like that. I wanted to live a life for myself, not a life constrained by others.

And there was a man who saved him from such a dream. And he said to her:

If you really want to go somewhere, I’ll let you go. He also encouraged her, saying that there is no place in the world that you cannot go to if you wish strongly.

…And I think I liked it.

I was so happy with what he said for himself, and I smiled broadly. Just the fact that he was giving for himself made my heart so calm and peaceful.

So, I wanted to stay by his side. Because I was able to realize how much I was loved by him and how much I loved him-

And now, you were giving for me again. I feel your care so desperately that something in my heart is about to overflow at any moment.

The wind blowing towards you is cool, and the sunlight beating down on you just feels warm, and for some reason your body and mind feel light.

Alas, yes. Just the fact that you are by my side makes the world feel so beautiful.

“What are the two of you whispering about there? not coming here Isn’t it a place to play together today?”

“Right. Kyrie, who thought that even dog poop has a knack for rolling, and is now on the verge of entering the coffin, is showing off some pretty amazing tricks. Come and have a look.”

“…to be ignorant. This is one of the innate powers of elves. It deals with life in a limited way and converts the tree of the world-”

“Well, I don’t know about that. It’s a little funny to see our little girl showing condescension with a talent that is inferior to that of the goddess.”

“…I’m not a kid. When are you talking about enemies? Crucially, my current height is not much different from yours.”

“therefore? Is it true that you are smaller than me? If not, try increasing your height with the power of the Goddess or something.”

“You, really…!”

The usual bickering ensues. It’s noisy, noisy, and even noisy. But there was a calm in it. There was warmth for each other. So, it was really reassuring.

“Okay, let’s stop this nonsensical conversation and let’s go. Before you get scolded by the nags.”

Cain holds out his hand. Sarah also holds that hand this time without shaking. Twice not to let go of his hand again. very tight

And just before walking towards them, Cain throws a question at her as if he had just remembered.

“…therefore. Are you happy now, Sarah?”

At those words, Sara nodded. At the corner of his mouth, in the form of a slight smile.

“…yes. a lot.”

There was no hesitation in the answer that came back, and that alone was worth it.

Now, the sky is clear, and our picnic has only just begun.

The beginning of spring beyond winter.

With a strong desire not to forget the happiness of this moment, we walk forward holding each other’s hands-
