Miyafuji-san!

Why, you!

*nagging*

Oh, she's at it again.

She just never gets tired of it.

Poor Yoshika-chan...

Oh... This time I went a little too far...

Maybe I should apologize.

I should apologi-

Oh, Miyafuji, what's wrong?

Hmph!

Excuse me.

Hmph... It must be the raccoon-dog had been spreading rumors about what happened this morning, for sure.

Everyone is taking her side...

Maj. Sakamoto!

Is your schedule free today?

Ah, Perrine.

I'm busy, so today is no good. I think everyone else is, too. So, don't talk to us today.

Sorry.

Ah...

In the end, even the Major hates me...

It's because I'm really no good...

I lost my family and Gallia, and the Witches were the only ones I could depend on...

Now I'm completely alone.

The other witches have their home countries to return to.

But now, there's...

...no place in the world for me.

Today will be over soon...

Even though it was a special day of mine...

Perrine-san

Happy Birthday!!

How's that, surprised aren't you?

It's a surprise party!

We were preparing it in secret.

It was almost obvious, though...

Jeez, Maj. Sakamoto's acting is so bad, it's bloodcurdling...

What's wrong? You're speechless.

Eh!?

P-Perrine-san, why are you...!?

B-But I thought you didn't congratulate me because you hated me.

There's no way we could hate you, right!?

That's right!

Really...?

Even though I'm insincere, I say harsh things, and I hurt you sometimes...

You're having a party for me anyway?

Of course!

I know you have lots of good points too.

You never miss training, and deep down you're really a nice person.

The marigold herb tea made me happy!

Miyafuji-san, I'm sorry. I'm always treating you so harshly...

Thank you.

Oh... It's no big deal...

*sniff*

It looks like there was a misunderstanding. Sorry about that.

Major...

But everyone has some faults, don't let it bother you too much.

That's right. Anyway, there's no way we could start hating you that easily, is there?

We're family, after all.

Family...

Very well, you may congratulate me.

That's the usual Perrine-san!

Ha ha ha, congratulations!

Congratulations!

Just for today, though.

Father. Mother. Grandmother.

I have made a new family.

Perrine has found happiness.

The end.

Are you watching over me? Have you seen?
