“…I just dreamt of my dad for the first time,” I said to him.
“Lucione…? What was that dream about?”
“…About how he saved me from a forest wyvern. It seems I was bitten by it when I tried to save a nine-tailed fox, and he scolded me because of it.” I told him. “He told me I was ‘reckless’ and ‘irresponsible’.”
“Haha, you sure are.” He laughed sarcastically.
“He also told me that if I needed help… I shouldn’t hesitate to ask for one.”

“…I know I’ve never lowered my head to you before, but— please. Save me, Principal.” I murmured desperately. “Until I could see my parents again… I don’t want to die yet…!”
