【Kodomore City】

On the long cobblestone path, the bells of early spring can be heard from the medieval church in the distance.

The roadside is already covered with buds of emerging grass, and the morning dew drops tickly, like a quiet flower bloom.

In the morning light of the cemetery, the tomb keeper of Codomore City got up early and came to patrol from the cemetery as usual.

Since the founding of the Violet Empire, even though it has now disappeared, many customs and habits have passed through the long river of history and have been stretched to the extreme.

Just like today.

It is the day when many people on the mainland worship their ancestors and deceased relatives.

The rainy night has passed.

He has also made preparations. Every year today, many people in the city will come to this cemetery to remember the past.

pat-

pat-

The sound of footsteps caught the attention of the tomb keeper.

He turned his head and saw at the end of the path, a man and a woman were walking quietly on the cobblestone path.

They are like lovers, and like couples who have been together for a long time.

The girl was holding a bunch of lilies in her hands, her eyes were slightly drooping, and her long black hair was leaking behind her like a waterfall, like an elf walking out of the forest.

The young man behind her held an umbrella for her, their five fingers clasped together, and walked quietly on the path.

"You are……"

The turbid eyes of the tomb keeper gradually became surprised.

Then he quickly recognized the little girl with long black hair, because she came to this cemetery early at this time of year.

Since he was the cemetery's keeper when he was young, until now he is very old.

He always remembered.

Every year at this time of year, there will be a girl who seems to never grow old. In the rainy season, she will come alone to pay homage.

Yes.

For decades, he has aged like this, but the girl is still the same as she was, never changed.

Just the only difference is.

This time.

She has a male companion by her side.

"It's me, Nanako, long time no see."

Under the veil, Nanako raised his small gloved hand with a slight smile on his face, and waved gently at the elderly gravekeeper.

This left him in a trance for a while.

He stretched out his hand and subconsciously touched the wrinkles on his face.

And time seems to have never left any traces on her body, she is still as young and beautiful as then, but the only difference is that she is already on the verge of withering.

"Old..."

"I've seen Miss."

He supported his body, and with a wry smile, he was about to crawl down. He bowed to this noble lady who he had seen all his life, but never dared to really touch.

But before he knelt down, Nanako gently helped him up.

"I've said it many times." She shook her head and said softly:

"You don't have to worship me. The Codomore family is already history. I'm here just to see... Father."

this time every year.

Always run out quietly and never tell anyone.

Just like that innocent girl who grew up in Winterspring Valley since she was a child, she has long forgotten her past.

Because it has never been said to anyone, and it has never been mentioned to anyone.

She's just Nanako of Winterspring.

Lynn's eyes became a little dazed.

Yes.

He also finally remembered that at this time of year, the little man always quietly got up in the middle of the night, and then disappeared into the night sneakily. It's like returning in the morning with spices and sweets from various cities in hand.

Just like in many days, I just thought this was a girl with a childish innocence, quietly wanting to play around.

Lynn looked up.

Looking at this medieval cemetery.

There was a smile on his face.

Then he closed his eyes gently, and clenched the little hand that was holding him tightly.

He held it tightly.

He also finally understood why Nanako brought him here.

Nanako smiled like a noble girl, saluting the tomb keeper, without the mischievous expression on her face during the Winterspring Valley period.

Just like returning to this city and coming to this cemetery, she is no longer the Nanako of Winterspring.

She is the eldest daughter of the Codomore family.

A family that not many people remember, a family that has long been buried in history.

"um, yes."

She spoke to the gravekeeper softly, her eyes full of tenderness.

"Nanako already has a significant other who can stay by his side. He is a very gentle gentleman. He treats me very well and I love him very much."

Like a noble girl, gently introducing her lover to others.

She had a soft smile on her face and held flower buds in her hands.

It's like having happiness written all over her face.

The tomb keeper looked at the boy with the umbrella standing behind her in a trance, looked at him and nodded to him with a smile,

do not know why.

He felt a little sad for a while, his cloudy eyes moistened, and his wrinkled cheeks showed a sincere expression of blessing.

Yes.

Just like a young man who was full of yearning.

Guarding a cemetery, at this time of year, I can see the girl who never grows old, and watch her holding flowers in her hand.

He also watched from a distance, with some kind of beautiful longing that only existed in the hearts of young people.

until a little bit old.

Because he understands that it is like a dream that is close within reach, but far away.

But always thinking about it.

If there is someone who can accompany her, maybe she will not be as lonely as in the past.

Will there be a lover who can really come to her heart, who can accompany her for a long time through these eternal years, who can accompany her and share this heartbreaking loneliness with her? ...

"bless all of you."

With gratified tears, he sincerely offered them the sincerest wishes of an old man.

Turned.

There was relief in his eyes as he watched them gradually make their way to the end of the cobblestone path.

Just like every teenager once had such a dream that people keep watching, in the dream there is a girl who will never age, who will become your eyes throughout the years.

You can never reach, but you always have hope.

Until your age is gone, until you are as old as a bone, all you can see is the sadness in your eyes.

But at least for now.

After seeing the figure clasping her five fingers.

The dream of the past finally bloomed, and the girl in the dream finally got her own happiness.

...

cemetery.

Nanako stroked his body slowly and placed the flower bud in his hand in front of the stone tablet.

Carved on the stone tablet is a smiling middle-aged man, with black hair on his head, as if he was frozen by time in the best time of his life.

"Father."

Nanako lowered his head, biting his lip at last, suppressing the whimper in his heart.

"Nanako brought her husband to see you."
