Youko was her name.

A beautiful name, certainly one that she could make the world remember, if she had the intention. But to the disappointment of those who wanted to use her to her utmost potential, she didn’t care about any of that.
Instead, she focused her attention on someone so unworthy, no one could understand her reasoning. Not even the object of her affection.

Emilia sighed. How did it come to this?

It felt like yesterday Youko had been nothing more than the cute girl she tutored in her spare time, but now she’d somehow become the most powerful water mage in the country, likely even the whole world.

What did she even see in a failure like Emilia?
