Goodbyes

It's finally the day me and my classmates are departing for Gardelia Kingdom.

But before we start heading out, we were allowed to say our goodbyes first to the family that we'll leave behind. Since it'll be more than a year before we can see each other again, the girls are hugging both of my selves tightly.

""At this rate, I won't be able to leave.""

"Just stay!"

""You can't say that, Delcie. Besides, aren't you and Rhie also going to your post tomorrow?""

"If you stay, I'll stay as well."

""You two are being too spoiled now.""

When I look at the other girls, it seems they are resisting the urge to say anything. Because the way they look like now, they'd probably cry when they start talking.

It's cute, but I guess they're trying their best to not hold me back.

I'm glad that I'm surrounded by people who want to support me.

"Red, are you sure you're fine without us guiding you to the port?"
