Sherys Belkian. The only daughter of the Belkian family, whom all doctors said would die young before reaching adulthood. The delicate rose of Belkian. The withered winter snowflake lady. Edward was the only mage who could treat her condition.

“Now you won’t fall ill without me, and I was thinking it’s about time I looked for other work.” After untangling her twisted mana and opening up the pathways, the young lady who had grown up healthy and strong had become an Aura Master. Thinking this was enough, he was about to leave to find another path when—

CRASH. The entire office window was torn away as a cool breeze rushed in. Sherys, who had barely managed to find a single scratch on her perfectly fine fingertips, squeezed it with both hands and showed him a tiny drop of blood no bigger than an ant’s tear, while pitifully drooping her eyebrows.

“I’m hurt, Eddie.”

“……”

“Make it better.”

……Retirement seems difficult.

There was nowhere to retreat. Edward looked up at Sherys, who had trapped him in her arms while he pressed his back firmly against the chair.

“What if I told you I have a lover?”

“Since I can’t bear to see you cry, I’d have to give up cleanly. While keeping a watchful eye for opportunities, of course.”

Is that really giving up cleanly? While her words sounded innocent, her expression looked quite displeased. Without realizing it, he became frightened and asked again.

“What if I don’t have one?”

“Unless you throw a tantrum saying you hate it to death, I’ll use all my strength to seduce you.”

“……And that’s the current situation?”

“Yes.”
