Preparations for Parting

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Even if she was of the same species as their lover and also a 'benefactor', it wasn't fair to judge them like this, right?

They weren't sure just how much Cynthia had really helped Emilia, but even if they couldn't compare with her, it wasn't like they hadn't done their best. It was impossible not to feel wronged.

But no matter how dissatisfied they were, none of them dared to speak up at this moment.

If the raven-haired girl held a grudge and her hand 'slipped' while moving… it really wouldn't be funny.

Not to mention that one of them might die, but Emilia would definitely be heartbroken from both the 'betrayal' and the 'loss' of those close to her, and with how fragile Crystal felt her heart was, there was no telling how long it would take for her to recover… if that was even possible.
