That House Atop The Hill

"Well, I'm going now. Are you sure you don't want to come?"

After spending a lot of time with Neron, Yera finally decided to rendezvous with her friends in Mr. Duffy's place.

She had been as considerate as possible, but Yera couldn't deny that she was also very curious about what the rest of her friends were up to.

Besides, she still had to talk to Legris.

"No. I think I'll stay here." Neron muttered, his eyes almost vacant.

"There's a lot I need to think about."

Once Yera heard this, her heart fell a little. She had hoped Neron would come with her and make up with Legris once they arrived at Mr. Duffy's.

They could then sit and enjoy the old man's stories, and Neron would end up falling in love with Magic.

It would have been perfect.

"O-okay! I understand…" She strained a smile and stole one final glance at the boy.

He wasn't even looking at her.

'I guess he really has a lot to think about.'
