Almost a year passed.
Tsuha, begins to recognize the nature of Arthur from the inside and outside. Including, Arthur's reason why he hates Bryan so much.
Bryan has a bad mouth. He likes to complain about the other sheep. Because of Bryan, Tsuha is often in trouble. And he (Tsuha) hates Bryan a lot because of that.
"Tsuha! I hear you're having a birthday today, aren't you?"
Arthur gives Tsuha a chocolate candy.
Tsuha accepted it "Yes, thank you"
"Said Glashya, you are now 8 years old. Then, we're 18 months apart. Haha, Do I have to call you Brother?" Arthur laughed while counting his fingers.
"Yes, now.... What do you want me to give you a gift? I'll give it all!" Arthur is so childish. Yes, just because he is almost 7 years old.
Tsuha remembers Tsuki.
He (Tsuha) stared at the cloudy afternoon sky.
"Prince, Can I still be behind You until I grow up?" Tsuha said as she twirled the chocolate candy wrappers that she had not yet opened.
"Hmm?" Arthur pursed his lips and looked at Tsuha.
"Is that a gift you want?"
It was, indeed, Tsuha's wish to repeat her 8th year besides, wanting to meet Tsuki.
"No. It's just a question" replied Tsuha.
Arthur fell asleep on the grass of the flower garden owned by his mother while showing a thoughtful mimic.
"We are friends..."
"Friends?" She asked Tsuha.
"...Of course we'll stay friends and don't walk behind me. You're that, not my follower!" Firmly Arthur while frowning his forehead.
Hearing that, Tsuha's flat face developed her cheerful smile. "GOOD!" Tsuha.
Arthur feels weird about Tsuha today. "Surely, does He not regard me as his friend?. Mmmmm, Then what gifts are suitable for Tsuha. What about chocolate candy? Eh?! Tsuha doesn't really like chocolate. Mmmm, just ask Mom!" Inner Arthur.
Tsuha's heart was delighted that Arthur considered her a friend. Because, it has become a pride for Tsuha because, he is considered a friend by a classy Prince. And plus, plus, Arthur is a figure who is able to issue a magic sword at the age of six years (Younger than Bram who is able to issue a magic sword at the age of 7 years and must practice for almost two years to be able to issue and control the capacity, as well as the mana density for which swords). Arthur's habit when practicing magic is, he often screams and wakes up in the place. Tsuha often ignores him because Nox said it was Arthur's disease from childhood.
In the afternoon, Tsuha returns to her mother's room (Glashya) to receive a birthday wish from her mother that was last spoken on her lips three years ago.
There, Tsuha sees Glashya already wearing her maid uniform.
"Mother..."
"Goup!" Glashya kissed Tsuha's forehead.
"Mom's going to Prince Arthur. Tsuha can shower herself, right?"
DEGH!
Tsuha's little heart, it felt sliced when she heard that her mother had to leave.
Glashya rubbed Tsuha's head and left and closed the door to her room.
Tsuha held her head that had been rubbed gently by her mother.
"Happy birthday Tsuha, Mother...." Tsuha's tears trickled as she said it herself while rubbing her head.
He wiped his tears and went straight to the bathroom and obeyed his mother's words. He felt like he was alone even though there was a mother who was close to him.
The night has come. Arthur walked slowly and stealthily from the guards to the house where the servants were after dinner. Arthur's goal is to meet Tsuha.
"Tokay! Geck! Geck!" Arthur, hiding behind a large vase of flowers while knocking on Glashya's room door with his left hand.
Tsuha was reading a magic book for tomorrow hearing the knocking sound of that door.
He opened the door and there was no one at the door.
"Tsu..huh........." Lirih Arthur while squatting and covering his head with ornamental plant leaves that are quite wide.
Tsuha looked towards her right.
He was no longer surprised by the ignorance of Arthur that always befell him.
"Prince, what are you here for?" Tsuha immediately asked Arthur without further ado.
Arthur took off the leaf that he used to cover his head.
"Main yuk!" A cheerful smile, plastered clearly on Arthur's face.
Tsuha closed the door, then she crouched down and saw Arthur's bare feet.
"What, you ran away from My Mother?" Ask.
Arthur scratched his nose. "where possible. I, never run away from Lashya's mother" Lirih Arthur who still grimaces at Tsuha.
"Then, why don't you wear your footwear?" Tsuha pointed Arthur's leg with her right hand.
Arthur advanced toward Tsuha and came out from behind the large vase.
"I, just curious about the feeling of the feet when touching the dewy grass. In the books I read, he said the soles of his feet felt tingled. I'd like to try it"
Arthur, has a high sense of curiosity. Tsuha herself, can't resist Arthur's will. He, willing to accompany Arthur to play.
Arthur immediately stood up and pulled Tsuha's hand while running. Tsuha is thrilled to have a friend like Arthur. However, at the same time he also characterizes Arthur because Arthur is surrounded by people who love him very much.
Arthur stopped running as his foot had stepped on the grass near his mother's garden. He did not feel happy at all when his feet stepped on the grass. He was stuck in place.
"PSS!!!" Arthur's head suddenly dizzy.
He closed his eyes for a moment in front of Tsuha. Hot air surrounded Arthur's body. He opened his eyes and there was fire and a mountain of ice in front of him "CRAT! GLUDONG!!!!" At first glance Arthur saw a very bright light and a horned head rolling on his feet.
DEGH!
"HUAH! BRUK!!!!" Arthur suddenly screamed and fell in front of Tsuha who was looking at the cloudy sky.
Tsuha was shocked. "Prince! You why?!" Tsuha comes to Arthur and Arthur's hand shakes directly holding tightly to Tsuha's outstretched arm.
Arthur broke out in a cold sweat.
"Why did I experience such strange things when my parents forbade me from doing anything?"
Tsuha looked at Arthur's wide eyes looking at the grass with his trembling body. Arthur climbed up Tsuha's arm with both hands.
"BOOOO! HAHA! KENA TIPU~" Arthur surprises Tsuha who looks worried at him while pointing at Tsuha's face which returns flat after showing her worried look.
"Curtain! Bruk!!!" Tsuha is very upset with Arthur. He immediately pushed Arthur's body to roll on the grass.
"YOU! IT MAKES ME WORRY! NEVERmind! I WANT TO GO BACK INSIDE!!!" Tsuha's mouth comat-camit while leaving Arthur.
Arthur laughed and he followed Tsuha from behind while looking at her trembling hand after the incident.
Arthur, lie to Tsuha fan in her own right. Arthur's ugliness is to keep everything alone. Every time he was banned by his parents, he would immediately be curious and try it. The result He got was like that, seeing strange things that He had never experienced.
Above, it was told that Tsuha, often saw Arthur acting the same when learning magic. This, explained by Nox that it was Arthur's habit since childhood. What really happened was, Arthur saw a past that he had not experienced.
When he first learned to sword with Tsuha, Arthur struck Tsuha's butt using a wooden sword because he saw the big five-headed Cerberus behind Tsuha. Reflexes, he hit him for surprise and fear. Arthur, often forbidden by his parents not to learn magic from books other than Nox. However, since prohibition is a curious imposter, Arthur finds out about magic and how to create magic without a magic circle. As a result, Arthur was able to eject mana in the form of a solid without a magic circle which at the time of the first experiment was directly able to damage his own room and cause an earthquake inside Aosora Palace. As well, he was able to flow mana into the palms of his hands and feet to strengthen his punches, and kicks.
Later, Arthur was the one who taught Tsuha how to flow through his hands and feet. Then, Tsuha developed it by using it as a form of defense in vital parts, such as the chest, neck, and other parts that are able to attack the enemy easily.
And that, is a birthday gift from Arthur that is very beneficial for Tsuha.
