A calming night and all the people sleep peacefully (except for the merchant, they make noise so Azumi just splash cold water magic to make them quite) after an unannounced "concert" by Princess Alfin staring herself, Azumi and Aurora. The calm atmosphere make Azumi, currently wide awake for night watch a little drowsy. Suddenly

"Sorry, Overslept a little bit" [Alfin]

"It's ok, plus a princess don't need to do this job, you can just go back to sleep, I don't mind being alone in a night watch" [Azumi]

"Nope, Plus I also like the little talk that both of us will make during night watch" [Alfin]

"If you say so" [Azumi]

Azumi said that with a gentle smile in his face, knowing well that his suggestion will be ignored by his best friend

"Still, I can't believe what you did" [Alfin]

"It was embarrassing, so i have no other choice, plus you are the one that exposed it!" [Azumi]

"That's because it's cheating" [Alfin]

"I don't have a beautiful voice like you or Aurora" [Azumi]

"That doesn't mean you have to use wind and mirage magic to cover up for you" [Alfin]

"It will went well if you don't interrupt it though" [Azumi]

"Why wouldn't I" [Alfin]

"Why you!" [Azumi]

"Haha" [Alfin]

Their little talk continue, when Alfin suddenly

"So about those two, do you think..." [Alfin]

"Well, Kucin and the other said it will be ok, plus she is also a sweet person" [Azumi]

"Yeah, but knowing what will happen, I don't think I can brace myself, if only I am stronger and If only my influence is greater" [Alfin]

"If contain too many possibilities, everyone can said it but in reality those "if" is hard to get" [Azumi]

"still"  [Alfin]

"I also fail too protect her during 5 year ago, if only I am stronger, If only i listen to the advice, it still haunt me to this day but you have to learn to embrace it, to be strong, just like your song it will past and become a distance past" [Azumi]

"I know that but those poor kid" [Alfin]

"Yeah, can't say i don't empathize with that" [Azumi]

"Well, let just hope for the best" [Alfin]

"Yeah, we can't safe everyone but we can safe those infront of us" [Azumi]

"Yes, and we will help them" [Alfin]

"sure" [Azumi]

Alfin giggle with Azumi response

Unable to sleep, two people who were only lying down seeing the starry sky can't help but watch Azumi and Alfin figure

"They are both lovely dovely aren't they" [Lydia]

"yeah, they are so sweet, just like in those novel" [Emma]

"you really like those kind of genre aren't you" [Lydia]

"Of course, love between a commoner with a princess, they both struggle as the other around them keep on opposing them but finally, ahh such a refreshing story" [Emma]

"Sigh..., well as long as you are happy" [Lydia]

"If only those two realize they love each other" [Emma]

"yeah, even i think it is obvious that they are in love" [Lydia]

"well you know what they say, the closer someone is, the harder for them to notice" [Emma]

"is that from those novel" [Lydia]

"sure is" [Emma]

Emma then begin to talk with Lydia, again about her favourite novel while Lydia as usual just listen to Emma, this is one of a few time where Emma become talkative so she will feel guilty if she selfishly interrupt her best friend

 Azumi and Alfin little talk continue when suddenly

"!" [Azumi]

"Something happen Azumi?" [Alfin]

"I think I found them" [Azumi]

"!" [Alfin]

Alfin heart beat becoming faster, she then ask Azumi how their condition is, Azumi simply shake his head sideway

"No..." [Alfin]

They are prepared for it but it still hit hard as expected, maybe even more

"I will go once my shift is over" [Azumi]

"Yeah, and be careful" [Alfin]

"Yeah" [Azumi]

The night become longer than usual suddenly, realizing the atmosphere between the two lovely bird change suddenly, Lydia and Emma can't help but wonder what happen, Lydia decide just to approach them and ask, Emma curiosity make her follow behind Lydia

"Teacher, something happen?" [Lydia]

"Found them" [Azumi]

""!!"" [Lydia, Emma]

"And i suppose they are" [Lydia]

"Just like what we thought" [Azumi]

"No way" [Emma]

Emma suddenly cry, Lydia hold her tightly to consult her

"Teacher, I will replace you on the night watch so" [Lydia]

"Are you sure" [Azumi]

"Yeah" [Lydia]

"Hmm, It's too dangerous if only three of you on a watch, I will wake Filaurel and tell her to keep you accompanied, plus she can also stop her autonomous tree golem magic" [Azumi]

"Ok, got it" [Lydia]

Azumi wake Filaurel up and tell her what happen, Filaurel receive the news calmly and goes straight to the Princess and the two students while Azumi go to his bird wind golem location
