“Hmph! Lilius, keep reading!”
“Ah, sorry, sorry. Uum, we left off here, right?”
Brought out by the refreshing sunlight, I was sunbathing with Gai against a large tree, and before I knew it, I had dozed off. Gai, who was sitting between my legs, was dissatisfied, and poking at the book I was reading. I let out a wry smile, stroked his small head and ears, and continued reading.
“Amana-sama asked the grieving man: are you willing to do anything if it’s for the sake of this land?”
I must’ve fallen asleep around this part. I’m watching Gai’s expression while reading, but with each page turned, his expression changes as his eyes roll like marbles, taking in everything.

But…
“When the man nodded, beautiful wings that Amana-sama was supposed to have lost spread out on their back. They were as powerful as the sun and carried a very beautiful light.”
God made Amana-sama promise them over and over. ‘Because you will descend to earth, should you use your power, you will become light and disappear from existence itself’, he said. That’s why you should never use your power. That is the only requirement to descend to earth…
“When the wings flapped, light spread like waves and healed all those who were ill. Then, the ever-spreading light reached the kingdom, conveying the people’s sorrows, and bestowed eternal slumber upon the tyrannical king who had perpetrated atrocities. The land revived with greenery.”
“Huh? Amana-sama isn’t here. Amana-sama isn’t in the picture on this page! And why is the man crying when he’s supposed to be smiling?”
As I moved on to the next page, Gai panicked and clung to my arm. I kissed his fluffy hair and continued while holding his small hand.
“The happy days returned, and the man rejoiced, but for some reason, tears overflow him every day. He feels like he has lost something important that left a hole in his heart.”
“No…”
Gai looked up at me with moistened eyes. I too think it’s a sad story.
Amana-sama, who broke their promise and used their power turned into light. Just as God said, the price they paid meant disappearing from existence, even from the memory of the man they loved deeply. Although the man had regained peace, he will lament the lost love until death… this could be called a tale of tragedy.
