Chapter 63 Not Yet Over

"Hey, Patricia."

Upon hearing the girl's voice, Ronald, who was seated on the bench, looked up.

The platinum blonde figure looked somewhat tired, but deep within the eyes that gazed back at her was a familiar feeling of old friends reuniting.

She appeared quite happy—

"....."

After grinning broadly, Ronald spoke teasingly,

"It's been a long time, hasn't it?"

"Maybe?" Patricia also smiled, then turned to sit down on the bench as well. During this action, she clearly saw two tears in the sleeve of Ronald's right hand.

She remembered it well.

Just before they broke free from the temporal distortion, that sleeve had been intact.

Then, Patricia spoke up,

"Ronald, what happened to your sleeve?"

"It was fine just a moment ago, wasn't it?"

"..."

Ronald looked at the area Patricia was pointing out.

The sleeve of his coat had two brand-new tears; he was going to have to ask the landlady to mend his clothes when he got back.
