"Thank you for your efforts, Lu. You may leave us be."
The Fairy seemed like he wanted to protest, but he changed his mind midway and simply nodded.
Lu glided away from us, smiling like an idiot, most likely because he had just received words of praise from the woman he liked.
'I know how you feel, buddy. It's too bad she'll never look at you that way.' I almost felt bad for the dude.
After all, I knew the one Jane Ursula loved more than anything in the world.
—Magic!
According to her, I came second—though the gap was too wide to be called a competition, compared to the grand cause that Jane had been obsessed with ever since I had known her—no, even before then—someone like Lu never stood a chance.
I almost let out a chortle as I smiled at her and she did the same to me.
Instantly, we understood one another. Even without speaking, our emotions were strong enough to reach each other.
There was no need for such a concept as words between two best friends.
