316 Volume V - Chapter 34: Silent and Alone

She told me to say it if I'm bothering you, but... I don't feel like saying it.

I mean... my purpose in coming here was to watch the sky for half an hour, alone, in silence. Yes, I'm in a very quiet environment now... But I'm not alone.

Out of the corner of my eye, I glanced to my side. But no matter how many times I repeated the same thing, Alice was lying not far away from me, looking up at the sky. It didn't look like she had any intention of getting up anytime soon.

So... what if I try talking to her?

"Are you okay with me being half-elf?"

Ah, why did I ask such a thing? It was obvious from her actions what the answer was...

"Since it makes no difference to my life what your race is..."

She paused for a moment, her eyes squinting at the stars. She sighed as if she had said something she didn't mean and continued.

"No, I don't have a problem."
