A strong wind blew just as Uncle Will said that line, and I couldn’t help but squint.
“Uncle Will,” I said, and by the time I opened my eyes he was not there.
He was right in front of me a moment ago, and then he was gone. At that moment, I realized that he was a hallucination.
That’s right… He was so real, but this was only Kushana’s training ground.
I wondered if I had successfully defeated the enemy.
“I wouldn’t say I beat him, right?”
I chuckled as I muttered that.

If it were against Uncle Will, I would gladly admit defeat.
That was when I thought so. I felt a tingle in my left eye, which should not be there.
…I know this sounds like a chuuni situation, but I really felt a discomfort in my left eye.
“What is this?”
I held my left eye with one hand while enduring the slight pain for a while.
…Uncle Will is dying? Was that really the end?
I gently removed my hand from my left eye. I could clearly see the view to my left. For the first time in a long time, I could see clearly.
“Uncle Will, he’s gone…”
The moment I realized this, I burst into tears as I crouched in the flower garden. I sobbed, and my cries were the only sound in the place. I could not stop the tears from overflowing.
Uncle Will, Uncle Will, Uncle Will….
I whispered the name of the man I loved so much over and over in my heart.
I had never thought that he would leave this world. I thought we would be together forever.
I felt like my heart was being torn to shreds. This was the first time I had lost someone I cared about since I came here.
Maybe somewhere along the way I had been overconfident, I thought. I was certain that I could save anyone.
I would never be able to feel Uncle Will’s kindness again. I would never again feel his big, craggy hands patting my head, or his gentle voice calling my name, and I would never again have a place where I could run to for advice if something happened to me.
For me, Uncle Will was the one place where I belonged.
It was the only place where I could ask for help without thinking, even though I have always been a bad girl.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI held my chest with one hand. How could I get rid of this pain in my chest?
I had no choice but to accept this pain, which no magic could do anything about.
I was so frustrated that I couldn’t be with Uncle Will right now. I wanted to hug him for the last time. I couldn’t thank Uncle Will enough for everything he had done for me.
It was unfair that he passed away without being able to express even a single word of gratitude to him… I also had more things I wanted to say to him.
I felt the faint magic of Uncle Will in my left eye. I had never felt such a gentle and warm magic power.
I had never thought that Uncle Will, who did not appear in the Otome Game, would be the most important person in this world to me.
I would never forget Will Seeker for the rest of my life.
“Ah, I’m so glad I met him.”
I looked up and uttered a shaky voice. Wiping away the tears that flowed unceasingly, I stared at the sky.
Thank you for giving me so much love.
