I’ve got it. When I was close to Roseline, I caught that faint fragrance on her again. Exactly as I remembered.

Could it be… is Roseline the girl who saved me when I was young?

I couldn’t hold back any longer and finally asked her the question that’s been buried in my heart for so long. Is it really her?

Could that gentle girl be the same person as this constant thorn in my side?

But Roseline’s expression didn’t have the surprise or emotion I’d expected. She just shook her head lightly. “No.”

A wave of disappointment crept over me. Oh, Moon Goddess, why must you be so cruel?

I’ve searched hard for her, driven by my memories and longing. At that moment, I’d really hoped that girl was Roseline.

I let out a silent, bitter laugh and forced myself to pull my emotions back.

I guess my intuition just isn’t sharp enough yet.
