Ever since I’d enrolled at Noblesse, I’d managed to carry myself with a lot more confidence than I used to.
That said, I couldn’t exactly call my exam results "good."
I was definitely making progress, step by step.
And yet, I still couldn’t quite grasp a win.
I supposed I just lacked a certain raw hunger. Everyone else was single-mindedly pursuing strength and nothing else.
Maybe I was just different.
...But that’s okay, right?
Right then, something came flying toward me from ahead.
It was a Messenger Bird.
"Coo-coo!"
"Huh? For me?"
I never imagined I’d actually receive mail while I was soaring through the sky.
The wax seal on the letter bore a family crest I’d definitely seen somewhere before.
Wait, could this be from... Vai?
I hurried to tear it open. Inside was a message written in a very short, very typical Weiss-like manner: "I have a favor to ask."
"...Wh-what could it be?"
Is it training? That’s possible. He did mention he wanted me to teach him Flight Magic.
O-or maybe... could it be... an invitation for a date?!
G-gah, what am I even saying?!
"Nyaooooon!"
"Ah! I-I’m so sorry!"
My heart was racing so fast that I’d started wobbling unsteadily in the air, much to the cats' cargo-related distress.
Honestly, the reason didn't matter. As long as I got to see Weiss-kun—as long as I could just be with him, I was happy.
Ugh, this is exactly why I’m so weak, isn’t it?
But still... what could have happened to make him send this?
