At the Hiiragi family's doorstep.
——
The matter concerning the King's Guild has come to a temporary end, and Lorraine's injuries have long since fully recovered with the help of Gulixi, so now... he has no reason to stay any longer.
After packing up her only two or three sets of clothes and putting them back into the ring.
Lorraine was ready to leave.
"Brother Lin..." x2
In front of my house.
Tina and Lady Hiiragi stood together as they saw him off.
Tina's eyes were filled with reluctance. She had tried to persuade him to stay more than once, but Lorraine was determined to leave. Tina also knew that... now she was a member of the evil organization, while her brother Lin was a member of the magical girl group. Logically and emotionally, it was impossible for him to stay by her side. This was a fact she had to accept from the beginning.
Yes, she has always known.
but……
Living together during this time has made her incredibly happy every day, like a dream come true.
The more this happened, the sadder and more reluctant she felt when it was time to part ways.
She even sometimes fantasizes that if she had joined a real magical girl instead of an evil organization, perhaps everything would have been different?
——
"Brother Lin!"
However, compared to Maitina, Lady Hiiragi seemed even more reluctant to part with her.
She approached Lorraine, reached out and pinched the hem of his clothes, and said in an almost pleading tone, "Can't you really... stay a little longer? Brother Lin, why do you have to leave? If you leave like this... this house... will become cold and deserted again."
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Hiiragi."
"Please stay here. Please stay and spend more time with me, okay?"
"I have to leave."
"Then... will you come back?"
"I have no idea."
"Idiot, at a time like this, can't you even lie to a silly woman like me? Say you'll definitely come back, just give me some hope."
Looking at the tearful, reluctant expression in Lady Hiiragi's eyes.
Lorraine opened her mouth, hesitated, but still insisted on speaking.
"Mrs. Hiiragi, I don't want to promise a girl things I can't do."
Upon hearing this...
Lady Hiiragi understood, she understood everything.
She wasn't an unreasonable woman; she knew that there were some things a man had to do. Whether it was a reunion or a separation, many times it wasn't up to her to decide or have things go as she pleased.
Since that's the case.
Madam Hiiragi released her grip on the other's clothes, took a step back, opened her arms, and put on a gentle smile. "Before I leave, Brother Lin, please hug me one last time. This request... isn't too much to ask, is it?"
"this……"
"No, is that not allowed?"
"All right."
Lorraine stepped forward, opened her arms, and wholeheartedly returned the hug.
Lady Hiiragi responded as well.
The two embraced tightly in front of the door.
"???"
Only Wu Tina, standing to the side, frowned the whole time, looking like she'd seen a ghost. She felt like she was super superfluous, and it seemed she couldn't stay in this house anymore!
Where does she stand?
——
The hug ended.
But just as Lorraine let go, Lady Hiiragi suddenly seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, lightly touching his face and leaving a trace of warmth.
Lorraine was startled.
"Mrs. Hiiragi, this is not what we agreed on!"
"Oops, I accidentally slipped my tongue out just now. I'm so sorry, Brother Lin, please forgive me."
"You schemed against me."
"To show my apology, how about this: Brother Lin, you return the favor once, as punishment for me, okay?"
"Please stop here."
"Hehe~"
Mrs. Hiiragi playfully stuck out her little tongue.
At this moment.
Only then did the two notice that the protagonist, Wu Tina, who had almost become a passerby, was staring at them with an extremely resentful look.
Lorraine and Madam Hiiragi felt inexplicably guilty, and they both turned their faces away to the left and right at the same time, making the atmosphere strange.
——
Then.
Lorraine took the initiative and said, "Mrs. Hiiragi, may I speak with Tina alone for a moment?"
Upon hearing this, Lady Hiiragi knew that her turn was over.
She took two steps back and sighed.
"Alright, alright, anyway, I'm already an old auntie, and I'm far inferior to these young girls. Since Brother Lin has said so, I'll give up my seat and leave the rest of the time to these young girls."
After saying that.
Lady Hiiragi didn't linger any longer. She took one last look at Lorraine and left a message: "If you have the chance in the future, come back and visit me often, okay, Brother Lin?"
That's all I have to say.
Lady Hiiragi turned and left, returning to her room and not disturbing them any further.
——
Lorraine approached Tina, who was still angry about being ignored and wanted to throw a little tantrum to get him to coax her.
But when Lorraine actually stood in front of him, they only exchanged a glance.
Under the gaze of those gentle eyes, Wu Tina could no longer muster any anger.
I have just learned a lesson from my mother's bold actions.
Wu Tina felt that she couldn't give up either.
If her mother can do it, why can't she?
right!
Thinking about this...
