Chapter 297: It’s Time To Go Back To The Future-1

Farah's POV

-Nom~ (Farah)

I continue devouring all the cakes in front of me. It doesn't take long for them to disappear into nothingness.

-Farah... (Lecia)

Lecia is staring at me from the opposite side after handing me to Nina. Therefore, I'm sitting on Nina's lap and enjoying the cake.

-Did you eat too many cakes, Farah? (Lecia)

Lecia takes a sip from her teacup and asks me. I puff my cheek and answer with full of strength.

-It's not enough! (Farah)

-... (Lecia)

Nina gives off her thought from behind me.

-Whew, Farah only eats ordinary food in small portions. But when it comes to sweets... (Nina)

In the meantime, I finished a chocolate cake with a strawberry on the top. Wait, what was Nina talking about?

-Deli~ (Farah)

Mah, I can ask her later. I have to finish this cake and move on to the Blanc cake on the trace.

-Yum~ (Farah)

-Farah looked so happy when she enjoyed the cake. (Lecia)

-Haha, she loves sweet after all. (Ano)

Lecia takes another sip and compliments the tea.

-The tea you brought is so delicious, Mashiro! (Lecia)

Apparently, Mashiro brought herbal tea and asked Lecia to taste it.

-Do...you...want...more? (Mashiro)

Lecia happily replies to Mashiro.

-I will gladly have some more. (Lecia)

-Bring...more...next...time. (Mashiro)

-I will appreciate it! Mashiro, do you want anything in return? (Lecia)

-No...need. (Mashiro)

Lecia looks troubled at Mashiro's answer. Since there is no concept of giving and taking in Mashiro. Sometimes, Mashiro gives out many things for free.

-I will feel a little bad if I can't repay you. (Lecia)

Even in the last serious conversation with Lecia, Mashiro will help Lecia in the end, even if Lecia can't repay her.

-No...worry...they...grow...a...lot. (Mashiro)

-Is that so? I will... trouble you for that. (Lecia)

When I try to reach out to the Blanc cake, Nina's hand reaches out and pokes my cheeks.

-I think you should stop eating now, Farah. (Nina)

I puff my cheeks and reply.

-I still do not have enough! (Farah)

No, I can't give up now! The Blanc cake is just within my reach. I want to enjoy it to my heart's content.

-If you continue eating, I will tell your maid that you eat many cakes behind her back. (Nina)

I froze in the spot because of Nina's threatening.

-You are meanie, Nina! (Farah)

I have no choice to put back the cake to the tray.

-Umu! (Farah)

I pout and look down.

-Moh, you look so sad just because of a cake. (Nina)

I sulk and ignore Nina.

-Farah seems to hate you now, Nina. (Ano)

-I just don't want Farah to turn chubby. (Nina)

Ano walks toward me and stands in front of me.

-I have wondered for a long time... (Ano)

Ano grabs my dress and pulls it up.

-Ehhhh! (Farah)

Because of Ano's action, my face turns bright red.

-So...Today is white. (Ano)

-Oh, my! (Lecia)

-White...what? (Mashiro)

-Hey, Ano! What the hell are you doing? (Nina)

-I'm just checking a little... (Ano)

I shyly call out to Ano and tell her.

-Please...put it down, Ano. (Farah)

She places her hand on my belly and grabs it.

-Aiiii~ (Farah)

-I don't know where all those sugars go to. How can Farah be so thin despite eating too many sweets? (Ano)

-Moh...It's a secret. (Farah)

Ano looks at me with bloodshot eyes.

-What is it? Please tell me, Farah. (Ano)

Before I could answer, a hand came from behind and hit Ano's head.

-What are you doing to my master? (Hana)

It's Hana who arrives from behind Ano.

-Hana! (Farah)

Hana and future Kyu are standing on the opposite side.

-Hoh? (Farah)

I don't know why but I can feel the atmosphere is from usual. What happened to Hana and Kyu when I wasn't there?

-Moh, I just want to joke with them a little, miss maid. (Ano)

Hana releases her bloodlust at Ano.

-You are troubling my master. You should put my master's dress down. (Hana)

-Fine...fine. (Ano)

Ano puts my dress down and steps back. Only Lecia acts as if nothing happened.

-Oh, my. Do you want some tea? (Lecia)

-I'm fine. (Hana)

Lecia turns to future Kyu and asks her.

-How about you then, miss...Kyu's master? (Lecia)

-Ah, I'm fine too.  (Industria)

-That's too bad then. (Lecia)

This time Hana returns her attention to me.

-And master... (Hana)

-Yes? (Farah)

-No more sweets for one week. You ate too many cakes today, master! (Hana)

-Uwuuuuu...So Hana knew about my action, after all. (Farah)

Suddenly, an alarm sound come from Hana's watch.

-...Excuse me. (Hana)

Hana raises her hand and looks at the watch.

-... (Hana)

Hana had a worried face when she stared at the watch.

-What's wrong, Hana? (Farah)

-...It's S.O.S signals from the future, master. (Hana)

-Ehhh! (Farah)

-We need to go back soon. (Hana)

-Future? (Lecia)

-What do you guys mean? (Ano)

Lecia and others had blank looks when we mentioned the future.

-Ah... (Farah)

-Master. (Hana)

Hana gives me a signal. I gather my strength and look at them.

-The truth is... (Farah)

I give them the same explanation as the last time.

-So you guys come from the future... (Lecia)

-That makes sense since Farah's magic is on a different level. (Ano)

All of them have the complicated face and glance at me.

-Don't worry. (Industria)

The future Kyu sudden intercept the conversation and says them.

-You will meet her in the future. (Industria)

Nina asks her back in a doubtful voice.

-How can you be so sure about that? (Nina)

-I... (Industria)

Hana sighs and says in her stead.

-What she said is true. (Hana)

-If you say so... (Nina)

Lecia looks into my eyes.

-Farah! (Lecia)

-Yes!? (Farah)

-Don't worry about us! If we can meet each other again, then it's alright. (Lecia)

I become a little teary because of Lecia's statement. Why does everyone treat me so kind?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lecia's POV

-They are gone. (Lecia)

Ano stands by my side and nods.

-Right. (Ano)

The maid took Farah's back right after Hana's confession. Mashiro and the magical beasts also go back along with them.

-But it's so surprising to know about Farah's origin. (Nina)

I take another sip from my teacup.

-It doesn't matter. We still like Farah, regardless of her origin. (Lecia)

-Yeah! (Ano& Nina)

Nina sighs and complains.

-It still feels a little sad that we can't hug her for a while. (Nina)

-Hahaha. (Ano)

I place the teacup down and tell them.

-Don't worry. This is just a temporary farewell to Farah. (Lecia)

I look forward to the future where we can stand by her side.

-Let's go back to work. (Lecia)

-You are really a work maniac, Lecia. (Ano)
