"Reach out your hand."
"Uh... mmm..."
Tangze Asuka sniffed and, with tears streaming down her face, she blankly lifted her head. At just seventeen years old, her innocence was undeniable. Perhaps thousands of years later, she might really beco that powerful Magic Minister, but at this mont, she was truly unable to hold on, overco with fear and unsure of what to do.
"Reach out your hand, Tangze."
"Uh..."
Though her face was still puzzled, her body had already foolishly extended her hand toward Fisher. Fisher gave a helpless smile before his warm, large hand grasped her petite palm.
Before Tangze Asuka’s small face turned pink, an extrely strange scene she had never seen before unfolded before her eyes.
From the place where Fisher held her palm, a fantastical, intricate Magic Circuit, seemingly embedded within her, instantly lit up. In the darkness, it illuminated her face, which was now sowhat surprised and puzzled. Of course, as the soul’s light illuminated Fisher’s handso face, a pure blush suddenly dominated her expression.
"Fi... Mr. Fisher, what’s... what is this?"
"Soul."
"Soul?"
"Yes, I have one too. Every living creature in this world has one... and you, as an existence from the Otherworld, have one as well."
Tangze Asuka stared blankly at the Magic Circuit lighting up on her body for the first ti, montarily so astonished she didn’t know what to say,
"I an... it ans you’re structurally no different from humans of this world, except that you look a bit different and your mind holds different things. Tangze, fear is natural, but don’t reject the place you’re in now, at least the things you see and touch are real."
"These words and mories you rember are proof of your connection to another world, and the soul you share with is your certificate here... So, every ti you feel out of place in this world, try looking at your Magic Circuit, and you won’t be afraid of being excluded."
"... And soday, you’ll find your way ho."
Until then, looking at Tangze Asuka staring blankly at him in the darkness, Fisher suddenly wondered if there might be a possibility that the missing Magic Minister had successfully returned to her world?
While he was pondering, Tangze Asuka suddenly pursed her lips and lowered her head, softly saying,
"It hurts..."
"..."
Fisher looked down and, although he hadn’t applied much force, he saw that her tender hand’s back bore distinct marks from his fingers. He apologetically said "Sorry" and promptly let go of her small hand.
Tangze Asuka kept her head down, slowly placed her small hand before her chest, and shook her head, though it seed she was much better than before since she was not hugging her legs anymore, just resting them beside her, relaxing a little,
"It’s okay... it’s my fault, I’m just a bit... sensitive."
"Alright, ti to sleep. The Sun Ring has been spinning for several days continuously, and it probably won’t take long to stop. If there’s anything, just tell , don’t secretly carve words on the wall at night again."
"Sorry..."
Fisher reached out a hand to Tangze Asuka, she tilted her head blankly and needed Fisher to remind her personally,
"Knife."
"Ah... oh, here..."
She imdiately picked up the carving knife and handed it to Fisher, then lay properly, saying to him,
"Rest."
"Okay..."
Tangze Asuka nodded and promptly lay down. After stretching her body, a few seconds passed and then a delayed sound ca,
"Um... good night."
"Good night."
"..."
The room fell silent, though the seemingly asleep Hooked kiss smiled slightly, clutching the envelope in its embrace a little tighter.
