Chapter 42: Spring Is Coming

We are close to the Cherry Blossom, we all agreed to go to see him, it must have been a few days, Ron is already acting normal with everyone, he doesn't hide with anyone anymore. As for me, I've been training, or rather, practicing a new spell, I haven't told anyone about it because if I did, they would surely be sad.

In the forest.

『*************************』-I was transforming, raising my hands in front of me-『Ahhh *breathe* *sigh*『This is harder than I thought, especially saying it and doing it, in general this is all very complicated』『I can barely create fragments』-Drop my arms down discouraged-『I won't give up, well they say practice makes perfect』『(I feel like I've lost strength, could it be because of the parasite? Well, now I have to concentrate on this)』

I raised my hands again very motivated, I was firm and determined.

『.....How was it that I had to say it?.....』-I was confused(ー∀ー;)-『I took out the little sheet, well.....uhmm.... yeah...I guess I still can't do it without reading it....』-I raised a hand-『*************************』

While I was practicing, someone approached, he had been struck by the strange noise I was making.

『UH, it was you, M』-Kii was the one who appeared-『Were you the one making that strange sound?』-I heard her walk towards me-『How did you hear her walk towards me?

『Hi Kii, if you mean that strange sound, yes I'm the one making it』-I looked at my leaflet again,I wasn't looking at Kii,but I knew it was her by her voice-『*************************』.

A green spherical mass with black tones small,minuscule in size appears in front of me.

『Ohhhhhhhh, it has disappeared』-I looked at it astonished, after a few seconds it decided-『I'm on the right track then』.

『*curious*That's the sound I was hearing』-She was already close to me-.

I turn to look and my gaze went down, Kii was in her loli version.

『Ahhh, Kii why are you in that form? (Although I'm not complaining, it rather warms me up)』-I looked at the little girl-.

『This..... certain event happened and I ended up like this, I'd like to be in my adult form』-His voice sounded depressed-

『No,no,no,no,no, this way is fine with me』-I wave my hands as if saying no-『For me, I like you better in this form of you』.

The non-human looks at me confused, her eyes sparkled.

『Seriously?』- She wouldn't take her eyes off me-.

『*smiled* Of course I do (After all I'm a loli lover, I wonder if anyone noticed here....)』-I looked at the non-human gently-.

『*blushing*By the way, what was that thing that appeared in front of you?』-She looks straight ahead-.

『Ahhh....*scratches worriedly*(I think I can't hide it anymore at this point) You promise me that you won't tell anyone』-I bend down and wag a finger-?

She swallows saliva very worried.

『Especially Daddy and the others (Daddy and Ron would be the most affected.....)』-I lower my eyes worriedly and then raise them-『Promise me』.

With insecurity and worry my little friend agrees.

『Yes』-A sweet voice came out of her mouth-.

I stand up again with a smile and start explaining to her.

『What you just saw and what I'm practicing is a portal to other worlds』-I looked ahead of me-『Very soon, when I master it to perfection..... I'll have to go』.

The last words I said very cold and dry. Kii was shocked to hear my words.

『Leave? And why would you leave.....?』-Kii looked at me worriedly, took my hand, I didn't respond-『M....come on, answer me』

After seconds some gentle and warm words came out of me.

『It's a promise I made to someone *I remember in his mind where Blaze appears* I told him I would return to my world, I have to do it』-My gaze was calm, the wind was blowing-.

『....Claro.....you're from another world, I forgot that detail』-She let go of my hand-.

『*she smiled*How forgetful you are *I caress her head* just like your friend』-I unmoved and caressed her-.

『Can't you stay here? Is there such a possibility?』-She stares at me.

『....uhm, I can, but I shouldn't, besides I want to go back to my world (there are people who think I'm dead)』-In my mind I saw the images of my parents, friends and Menhera-

『Yes....I see, I'm not going to tell anyone about this』-She was looking at the grass-『And when are you going to leave?』

『Uhmmm, I think it will be soon, on the 25th I hope I can master it』-I put my head looking up with my eyes closed-

『With that 25.....』-She was looking at the sky-『And one more thing...could you please stop hugging me』.

I was hugging all over Kii's small body, I was rubbing all of me on her.

『Come on, it's the first time I've seen you in this form, I can't stand it anymore, I want to hug you more』-I was rubbing my cheeks with hers-.

*catch* catch* *catch* *catch* *catch*.

『You better keep practicing that portal』-Kii caught me with branches and left me dangling while she was leaving-.

『A ha ha ha ha...okay, okay, after hugging you I'm more motivated』-She said while lying on her stomach-.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few days passed and the agreed day came when we were all going to see the cherry trees together, we were going to meet in a field outside the city, in that place there were many cherry trees.

We prepared ourselves and were ready to go.

"Okay, we're all ready! Kurusu was standing outside the house.

『Yes!』-Everyone raised their hands and loudly said-』.

『Aaaaaa, we're coming』-I was walking down the stairs quickly, in my behind was Ron-『(I shouldn't have distracted myself by playing with Ron since morning, I just couldn't help it, she looked so cute, I didn't notice the time)』『Yes! We're coming』.

They were already outside, everyone but Ron and me. A man in a suit is coming towards the house down the street.

『Oh, you're ..... the one from that time』-Kurusu spoke as he saw the gentleman coming this way.

"Oh, are you going out? I don't see Ron with you』-The man looks at the others-.

『Ron's just coming out』-Kurusu with his finger points at him-.

Ron and I were just putting on our footwear.

『I came just in time』-The gentleman said, standing in front of the door outside-『Before you leave I'd like to give you this』-The man from his pocket pulls out an envelope-『Kurusu with a finger points at him-』-『Kurusu with a finger points at the man.

『What is it Sir?』-Ron looked at the man in confusion clutching the envelope-『What is it Sir?

『It's a letter that Yuko left for you』-She said kindly.

Ron hearing that, was surprised. He looked at the envelope in shock. And in stutters he said.

『De----Yu---ko----』-She looked at the Lord-.

『Yes, from Tamiko Yuko, we checked her house after what happened, and we found that she left a letter that is addressed to you, I kept it to give it to you, but I couldn't find you, at the time of the arrest and at the trial I forgot to give it to you, so, I'm here for you to have it』-The Lord related-.

『Oh, the news of the young man who was killed by a thief』-Kurusu said calmly-『I heard it years ago, whenever I went to the cemetery I would take a walk, but I never saw his tombstone, that's strange』.

『That's because he was buried in his hometown, which is 5 hours away from here』-The lord turned to look at Kurusu.

"I want to go』-Ron said suddenly.

We just stared at her in surprise.

『I want to go see him, I want to see his grave』-Ron looked at the lord, her eyes wanted to cry- 『I want to see his grave』.

"But we would miss the meeting we have』-Kurusu spoke.

I want to go!"』-Ron raised his voice in agony.

The others stood unable to respond, silence filled the place.

"I can take you there』-I stood next to Ron.

Ron stared at me.

"But you'll miss the cherry blossom』 Ron said worriedly.

『Let's go fast and be back in time, everyone has been looking forward to this time of the year more than me, I want them to enjoy this event longer』-I looked at Ron-『I'll accompany you *smiled*』『I'm going to take Ron to that place, can I brother?』

『Okay *smiles*But don't be late』-Kurusu with his hands on his hips says-?

『Excuse me, can you tell me where is that place?』-I ask the gentleman-.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We were taking to the skies, Ron was on top of me, flying as fast as he could to get to the place as soon as possible. Ron was clutching the envelope very tightly.

We finally arrived at his hometown. I looked for the cemetery and stopped there.

『*tap* *distorts* We landed in the middle of the cemetery, now all that's left is to look for his gravestone』-I moved my head all around-.

『*sniff* *sniff*』-Ron smelled the place, she quickly runs through the graveyard-.

『Ah, wait for me Ron』-She said as he ran after her-.

I reached the place, Ron stood still looking at a gravestone, I was walking closer. Her eyes were shining, I didn't take my eyes off it. As I stood next to it, I looked at that was the tombstone of Tamiko Yuko, Ron's first friend, the one who gave him a home and probably, his first love.

『Yuko.....』-Ron said softly-『Even though it's been years and even dead, I can feel your scent, it's a very warm and kind fragrance, beautiful color *cry* *snif* *snif*』-Ron started to let tears fall-『If only. ....*snif* If only.....*snif* I had been stronger, right now we would be the 2 of us together *cry* *snif* *snif* Yuko』

『Ron...』-Touch my friend's shoulder, I can feel her pain, I with my own eyes saw her past with him, thanks to the parasite-.

The drops of her tears fell on the envelope she was clutching in her hands. She saw this, and decided to open the envelope that inside had a letter written by Yuko himself. Somewhat wet was the letter, the drops got through the envelope, but it was still readable. She dries her tears and decides to read it.

To Ron, my precious friend.

Hi Ron, ha ha ha ha, I don't know how to start this, I guess from the beginning, no way I'll start with the end. Well, here I go, I didn't think you would change my life completely, with just that decision my life became full of color, picking you up in that rain and welcoming you with a smile was the best thing that ever happened to me. Before you arrived my life was not very fun to say, I suffered stress at work, I had no friends, I could only visit my parents at Christmas, since I became an adult it was complicated to live. I was walking down the street with an umbrella in that heavy rain, just looking straight ahead with an empty look, except for a person who passed by, who looked down for a while and went on his way, out of curiosity to see what he saw, I looked down, stopped, and saw a helpless cat sleeping in the cold city. When I saw you my eyes came back to life, I bent down, I covered you with the umbrella and with a smile I welcomed you, not knowing what, you were the one who welcomed me to a happy life. My little kitty, at the beginning you didn't let me touch you, it was funny and annoying at the same time, I was about to give up, but you came closer and rubbed your face on my leg, my efforts had paid off, I was really happy to see that you came closer to me. Years went by and you had grown so much, time flies so fast, you were no longer the helpless girl you once were, you became kind, playful and very naughty, I remember those nights when you would sneak into my room and you would come to me naked saying: "Today we are going to have fun" hahahaha what a day, I would ask for permission to work at home so I could be by your side, you gave me back something I had lost, happiness. Thank you so much Ron for showing up in my life, I love you so much. Although it's weird that I'm writing this very early, it's still a long way to your birthday, it's just that I got excited and I couldn't hold it in any longer.

Ron read the letter and couldn't stop crying, she was with a smile, she remembered her time when she lived together with Yuko.

Psdt: I also bought your present, I want it to be your birthday so I can give it to you.

Ron reading the last thing caught her attention, she grabbed the envelope and noticed that there was something else in there, she took it and saw that it was a ring that was her size, she entered the ring, on its edges was transcribed: "I love you Ron."

『I love you too *cries* *snif* Yuko』-Ron looks at the ring, tears were the order of the day-.

She puts on the ring and if fits him just right. She puts her hands on her chest.

『You will always be in my heart,I will never forget you』-Ron said warmly and lovingly-.

『(Yuko really is amazing, someday I would like to be like him)』-I was saying to myself in my thoughts while looking at Ron, I grab her shoulder-『Ron, it's time to go, the others are waiting』.

She turns to look at me, wipes her tears and with a smile says.

『Yes, let's go』-Ron smiles-.

I transform, she gets on top of me and we leave the place, straight to the cherry blossom.

She hugged the letter against her chest.

『Thank you for leaving me some of you in this world』-Yuko fell asleep on my back-.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We arrived at the place, I had Ron in my arms, she was sleeping peacefully, I didn't want to wake her up, she looked so happy, I joined the others, I sat down and put Ron on my lap, I covered her with my jacket, she was sleeping with a big smile.

The cherry tree leaves were falling, we were all watching the spectacle of nature, I was watching them fall, I was smiling.

A transparent hand suddenly touches Ron's cheek, apparently no one can see it, that hand caresses Ron, the being was wearing a red jacket, he smiles and laughs in a gentle and loving way, then he goes to the sky along with the cherry trees.

『Goodbye Ron, thank you for all these years of happiness』-Yuko's ghost faded away the more it rose-.

There are 2 chaps to go before the end of the second volume.
