"That b*stard, she's getting away!"
"Zect-sama"
"Zect..."
"Marin and Luna, please take the day off and rest."
"What are you going to do, Zect-sama?"
"Zect... what are you going to do?"
Don't think you can escape me, you fool!
"I'll catch the fool who ran away and put her to work... the hardest work of all."
That's all I tell them, and I start running.
* * *
Don't think you can escape!
We've known each other since we were kids and I know what you're up to.
From her character, she's not someone who belongs in the city.
She's more at home in the wild.
When I looked in her room, I found no fishing rod.
There's no way she doesn't have one, considering how much she likes to fish.
So, she's fishing.
I'm sure of it.
Now that I have a clue... all I have to do is find her.
* * *
After that, I went to the guild.
"No way, is there really that many places to fish in Kohane?"
"This is a tourist town, so... Ahaha, it's impossible not to find it that much."
That idiot, she's just fooling around!
She must think I'll never find her.
Besides, is she acting with confidence from that belief... D*mn it.
I won't forgive her anymore.

Lida's POV
Hahaha, stupid, I'm sure Zect is looking for me.
But this is Kohane, it's not a village.
In a village there aren't so many places to fish...
However, in this place, there's an ocean, a lake, and a river.
There's no way he can narrow it down.
And I came to the ocean.
There's a rocky shore here, and it's not visible from the surroundings.
There's no way he can find me.
"Oh, I caught one... maybe I should cook it with salt."
I'm not a good cook, but I can grill and make sashimi.
"Well, it's delicious...it's so good it's making my cheeks droop"
That's a lie... it doesn't taste good.
Back then, Maria and Mel were here with me.
And Ceres was with Zect...
Si now, it doesn't taste so good alone... and when I catch a big one, I can't brag about it...
I don't know why I'm like this.
I just want to play together like we used to.
Am I being left behind?
Maybe I should do something...
But I don't have anything I want to do.
I know this isn't right, but I don't know what to do.
Maybe... I should have kept fighting.
No, that won't work.
But the life of wielding a sword... no, I can't... I'm too much of a coward to fight.
So, what should I do?
Well, it's useless to think about it now.
Let's just enjoy fishing.
But then, it's already evening.
Zect has probably given up by now.
Okay, let's go home...
* * *
Zect's POV
"Welcome back... Li... da...!"
"Eeek, Zect..."
What an idiot.
As long as time is no object, I can wait for her in front of the house.
After all, this is the only place she can come back to.
"I wonder where you went so late? Lida? That's a fishing rod, right? You must have had fun breaking our promise!"
"Zect... that I haven't forgotten, ahaha!"
"Is that so?"
"Ahahaha, are you angry? I'll definitely work tomorrow, okay?"
I don't trust this girl.
What are you talking about? You and I agreed to work today!"
"But it's too late now, even if we go now, there's no work left."
I knew she'd say that.
But I've already taken care of that.
"Well, we've got some 'work' to do, let's go."
"You're lying, right? You can't be serious about making me work now... I don't want to."
"Lida, it's your fault for running away because the appointment was today... so let's go."
"What do you want me to do this late at night?"
"We're going to clean out the underground sewers... and we'll be clean from now till morning."
"We have to work all night...I hate it."
"You hate it, but we're doing it...it's your fault for running away."
"But..."
"Come on, Marin and Luna are already asleep, but I'll go with you, let's go!"
"You must have received this as a retaliation against me, right? I'm sure you did."
"I'll be working too! Let's go!"
In fact, I don't want to do it either.
But there's no other work we can do at this time, so I have no choice.
It's her fault for running away.
