Departure from the village

"When will you come back then?" Before Miss Rin boarded the carriage with Misha and Elio, she hugged her pretty granny warmly.

"Who knows?" And with a rather happy smile, she said her goodbyes to this kind couple.

"Weee-hyehyehye~!"

The horses were ready to depart.

The night that they spent with this old couple was a new kind of experience for Alex and Elio. 

They were quite different from a normal couple. They were even different from his parents.

The life that they had lived was different, the things that they did in their lives were different, the things that they had experienced in their lives were different, even the way they had grown up was different.

The old couple did not have any children, they could not… sadly.

But they had been together. And they were happy.

They had a home, and they had helped many that they had come across in their lives.
