In contrast, [Dawn] and the others often need to run around outside, and going to the forbidden area seems to be as common as eating a meal. In addition, Hikari herself is more inclined to specialize in healing spells and seems to have little combat power. Giving this thing to her to save her life is obviously much better than letting it rot in my hands and end up with the same fate as the previous owner.
In this sense, giving it away is making the best use of it, so it's not a bad thing.
Just as I was wondering why the silly girl had called me back, I suddenly felt her grab my right hand, stuff something hard and angular into my palm, and forcefully bend her fingers so that I could hold it firmly.
"Mr. Yumi, you should keep it."
She spoke softly, tilting her head back, her clear eyes shining with a light that remained unwavering even in the darkness: "Compared to me, who is often taken care of by my sisters, Mr. Yumi is often hurt in places I cannot see."
“I hate this, but every time I talk to Mr. Yumi, he runs off to where I can’t see him and gets hurt again, and each time it’s worse than the last… So at least, you should take this. It’s best if you never have to use it.”
Before I could react, she gently rubbed our clasped hands against one cheek, then looked at me with a determined gaze again, let go, and ran quickly toward the light outside the passage.

With a slight sense of disorientation, I climbed onto the Pegasus amidst Miyuki's repeated urging and indifferent gaze, and flew towards the hot spring inn where I was temporarily staying.
Just like when we arrived, everything was calm and peaceful, and nothing unexpected happened.
But my heart couldn't calm down for a long time. Occasionally, when I looked at the girl, I could only see a back view with her face turned to the other side, her ears and neck flushed red.
We traveled in silence, accompanied by the howling wind through the mountains, and finally landed quietly in the open space in front of the cabin.
But before we had even fully landed on the ground, the door of the small building in front of us suddenly opened, and a black figure rushed toward us.
"Why are you only arriving now!"
Annie, who came to greet me, first complained, then grabbed my sleeve and hurried back towards the cabin: "Hurry up, hurry up, stop dawdling. Your package has arrived! I've been waiting forever!"
