Chapter 5: Secret Meeting

The night Celia and the others returned to the mansion, Celia brought Sora to her bedroom. Dinner was over, they had finished bathing, and everyone had returned to their rooms for the night.

“You can use that bed.”

“Okay.” Sora nodded and sat down on the bed. Celia sat on her own bed, facing her.

“How was it? Do you think you can get along with everyone?” she asked.

“Sora has no intention of making friends,” Sora answered bluntly.

“You say that, but you wolfed down that dinner so hungrily. You also seemed happy to hear everyone explain the dishes.”

“Th-The dishes are innocent. And that’s not true at all! They were so annoying!” Sora denied in a shrill voice.

“You can be more honest to yourself, you know?”

“M-More importantly, the nuisances are finally out of the way. There were still other things Sora needed to talk about,” Sora said, changing the topic.

“That’s right...” Celia agreed with a listless sigh.

“What’s wrong? Why the long face?”

“It’s just that everyone’s forgotten about Rio... After spending the day with everyone, I realized that all over again. I’m the only one who remembers him, everyone else has forgotten—and that makes me feel really alienated...”

All the memories they had made together were gone, as if she had gone through a different past to everyone else.

“But...” Celia continued, looking at Sora.

Sora tilted her head in suspicion. “What?”

“Rio, Aishia, and you... You’re all far lonelier than I am. You’re the ones who have been forgotten by everyone, who have had your relationships severed, who have to stay separated from them...” Celia mumbled miserably.

“Sora only needs her connection with the Dragon King... As long as she has the Dragon King, Sora isn’t lonely at all.”

Whether she was bluffing or speaking her true feelings aside, Sora looked down as she spoke. There was something about the sight of her like that which felt forlorn to Celia.

“What did you do until you met Rio? The Dragon King passed away in the Divine War over a thousand years ago, right?” she asked, searching Sora’s expression.

“Sora just waited for the time to pass.”

“Wait... Were you by yourself the whole time?”

“So what if Sora was? Even without the Dragon King around, the rules of god still applied to Sora. It was only natural.”

“Wasn’t it really lonely by yourself?”

“Sora said no already. Not as long as she has the Dragon King.”

“Sora...” Celia was the one who put on a lonesome face.

“Don’t make that face. Are you pitying Sora?” Sora pouted irritably.

“I’m not, that’s not it. It’s just...”

A thousand years. For a thousand years, Sora was bound to the rules of god by herself.

Perhaps it was because of the rules of god that Sora never bothered to interact with others. They would forget her anyway. That’s why she gave up from the beginning, believing there was no point in making friends. Perhaps she had to tell herself she didn’t want to make friends in the first place as a form of defense to protect her heart.

Such thoughts flashed through Celia’s head.
