The next morning, Laura's father Lydias asked us this.

"Did you guys make a mistake?It happened, right? "

Laura, whose face turned bright red, roughed up her voice loudly.

"Dad! I told you I don't need that kind of reaction!"

"No, no... Dad's in pain too.I have to keep my promise. "

"Who are you doing that to?!"

Lydia is as good as ever.... well, maybe he's communicating by teasing his daughter.

Laura turned to the side.

"No more! That's not true!Dad, I don't know! I won't fight you anymore!I'm going up the mountain with Alberto today, so I don't have much time! "

Ah, climbing the mountain.

Lydia glanced at the window and looked at the mountain.

"Be careful with the snow."

"Yeah, okay."

"If you're in distress and you can't go down the mountain, you need to evacuate.Winter mountains are cold. Don't be shy when you can't maintain your temperature.I don't know about your father, but it seems more effective to hug him naked.I don't know your father very well. "

"Dad, can I have your mouth shut?"

That's why Laura abandoned her father and we both climbed the snow mountain.

It's not that I'm not confident in my health, but it's quite different when it comes to snowy mountains.As I was caught in the snow, I moved forward one step at a time.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Alberto, it's tough, isn't it?"

Laura looked back.Laura's steps were smoother than mine.I guess I've been used to walking on snow since I was a kid.

"It's okay."

"I'm glad you said that!I really want to go with Mr. Alberto.I'm sorry, but can you do me one more favor? "

Oh, good luck.

Laura wanted to show me.I'm interested in what that is.I'm not going to get stuck in snow that I'm not used to.

Then she walked all the way, just before noon, Laura looked back and told me.

"Here it is."

I've been climbing a much narrower climbing path, but suddenly my vision opened up.

That was the plain. Now the snow is heavily packed and dyed in pure white, but in summer the green grass will certainly grow.

Plus, it has a great view.You can see the mountains around you.Every mountain, countless trees that grow on it, are dyed in pure white with snow makeup.The lake below is stunningly frozen and looks like it could walk.

A world of snow and ice was spreading there, reminiscent of paintings.

"Autumn is dyed yellow and red - spring and summer are green and winter is pure white.It's a beautiful place that changes seasonally. "

"It's beautiful. Is it Laura's favorite place?"

"Yes, I used to come here alone when I was a kid, reading books and napping.Ah, it was in the early summer. "

Laura loosened her mouth as if she remembered the old days.

"I wanted Alberto to know about this place - was it boring?"

"Hahaha"

Laura's reaction was interesting and I laughed unexpectedly.

"No, thank you.I like quiet and beautiful places, too. "

"Great! When I decided to go back to this village, I wanted to spend my birthday here!"

I felt uncomfortable with the words I couldn't abandon.

Eh, birthday?

Huh?

Laura leans her neck at my reaction.

Today is Alberto's birthday, isn't it?

"... ahh"

If you ask me, yes.I completely forgot because I wasn't too interested.

Speaking of which, yes.

"Did you forget!?"

"Well...."

It sounds like Mr. Alberto, ufufufu

"I don't care about my birthday."

It's already 27...

"That's not true! I mean, look!"

That said, Laura pointed to a brooch in the shape of a moon on her chest.

"This is a birthday present from Mr. Alberto.I must return the favor.I promised you I'd give you back! "

That's right.

When I gave Laura that brooch in Luminous territory, she asked me about my birthday.

"Yes, thank you, Laura."

I looked at the scenery again.

"It's a wonderful view. It's a nice birthday present for you.Laura, I'm glad you're telling me what you care about. "

"Ah, no, that's not all!"

Fish out the bag Laura had brought with her.

"Well, that's just the view, isn't it, poor?!Hey, I've got something for you too! "

That said, Laura gave me a rectangular item about three fingers in size.

It's made of fabric, but I get the impression that it has a solid wooden board in it.A green moon was embroidered on the blue surface.

The same shape as the brooch that shines on Laura's chest.

"It's an amulet. I embroidered the moon part.Um, handmade, and perhaps poor after all... how about that? "

This is for me?

"Ha, yes... I'm glad you like it..."

Laura closed her eyes tightly and looked nervous.I want to see Laura like that forever.

"Thank you, I'm glad."

To tell you the truth, I received Laura's amulet.

"Heh heh, is that true!? Thank goodness!"

Laura put her hands together in front of her chest and exhaled loudly.

"But I'm sorry, the landscape and the handmade amulet - it feels really poor... it's hard."

Difficult?

"I mean, isn't Mr. Alberto a nobleman?I have such a wonderful life, so it makes no sense to give me something I can buy..... "

So, is that it?

So Laura gave me her precious place and her handmade stuff?

Certainly, the civilians are willing to give gifts to the nobles...Nothing matters to me - it doesn't mean I'm not interested, it means I'm happy with everything Laura gave me.

I shook my head.

"It's not a lie or a compliment - protect the landscape.I'm so glad. It's the best present for me. Thank you, Laura. "

"I'm glad you said that!"

Laura smiled with a heartfelt relief.

"Laura, let's come here again.It's not winter this time, but spring.I'd like to read a book or take a nap here. "

"That's great! Yes, it feels so good!We'll definitely come with you! "

"Oh, absolutely."

I've made this promise before.

After defeating the Hydragon.The earth devastated by the Kowloon, entrusting its reconstruction to the power of Unicorn, led us back on our way.That's when I swore to Laura.Let's come here again.Walking together the purified earth, and the lush earth.

I had more promises with Laura.

That was not a bad feeling.I'm sure it's going to grow over time.The story of overlapping futures with Laura gave me comfort in my chest.

You just have to do more and more.

Let's increase it even more.

"... I forgot to mention something yesterday."

Yes?

Laura told me.I'm really glad you ran into me.

You must return the word.

"I'm really glad I met you, too.Everything started when I met you. [M]I was able to change everything because I met you.I owe everything to you. Thank you so much. "

"Mr. Alberto...."

After facing down a little, Laura raised her face and looked me in the eye with a smile.

"It's really nice to meet each other in a meaningful way!"

"Oh, really."

I nodded my right hand out.

"Please continue to give me your best wishes."

Yes, welcome.

That said, Laura will grip me back with a smile.

A gentle warmth that doesn't make you feel the cold in the world of winter comes from the tip of your hand.
