Amy''s POV.
After the meeting with sister Stolas last night, I cannot focus on anything from that moment.
-Sister! (Mia)
-... (Amy)
-Sister! (Mia)
Someone suddenly shakes my body and makes me return to reality.
-Eh! (Amy)
I found out Mia was the one who shook my body.
-Sister! (Mia)
-Ah! Yes? What''s wrong, Mia? (Amy)
Mia sighs while staring at me.
-Your food is turning cold, sister. You have spaced out for a while. (Mia)
-Ah! (Amy)
I used the spoon to take a sip of the soup I was eating.
-Cold... (Amy)
-Do you need me to ask the canteen lady to warm it up for you, sister? (Amy)
I give Mia my soup plate and answer.
-Yes, please. (Amy)
After Mia finished heating my soup, she brought it back to the table and gave it to me.
-Here you are. (Mia)
-Thank you, Mia. (Amy)
I receive it from her and resume eating.
-Huh? (Amy)
While I''m eating, Mia keeps staring at me.
-What''s in your mind lately, sister? (Mia)
-Huh, what are you talking about, Mia? (Amy)
She keeps staring at me.
-You have acted weirdly since the moment you woke up. As the instinct of twin, I could guess you were hiding something from me. (Mia)
I dropped my spoon in my right hand at the sudden statement of Mia.
-Am I right, sister? (Mia)
-Uh...m (Amy)
I can''t look into her eyes and answer her.
-Fine! I won''t ask you anymore. (Mia)
-Eh? (Amy)
Mia picks her plate and stands up.
-I feel you would tell me when the time comes. Therefore, I won''t ask anymore. (Mia)
-... (Amy)
Mia leaves me behind and goes out of the cafeteria. I have no choice but to eat alone.
After finishing breakfast, I go to the training ground to exercise my body.
-Oh, are you also here to practice, Amy? (Euryale)
-Yes! (Amy)
The one that calls out to me is Euryale. She wields a gigantic axe to cut the scarecrow in front of her. I go to the place a bit far from Euryale and take out my claymore.
-... (Amy)
I stare at the scarecrow in front of me and swing my claymore.
-Huh! (Amy)
On the first swing, I missed the scarecrow and hit the ground.
-Amy? (Euryale)
-Yes? (Amy)
I turn to my left and find Euryale is standing there.
-Your strike looks a bit dull. Is there something on your mind? (Euryale)
I never thought even a stranger could notice something was wrong with me.
-Yeah... (Amy)
Euryale reaches out and pats my shoulder.
-Kid like you should take a rest. You should come back once your mind is stable. Otherwise, you could hurt yourself while training. (Euryale)
-... (Amy)
Euryale sighs.
-If you have something that hard to talk to others about, I can be there and share your worries. (Euryale)
-Thank you, Euryale. (Amy)
Should I tell her about "that"? I haven''t told Mia yet since I am afraid of giving her false hope.
Before Euryale could return to her training, I called out to her.
-I...I have something to tell you. (Amy)
Euryale puts her axe down and looks at me with a calm face. I slowly tell her about my family situation.
-I understand. You didn''t want to hurt your sister again because you thought your parents'' survival chances were low, right? (Euryale)
-Yes? (Amy)
-I think you should tell your sister, Amy. (Euryale)
-Why? (Amy)
-It''s for your own sake, Amy. You will keep feeling guilty if you hide that secret from her. (Euryale)
-... (Amy)
-Furthermore, I think your sister has the right to know about it. (Euryale)
Euryale continues.
-You two are sisters and twins on top of that. You should not keep a burden on yourself alone, Amy. (Euryale)
-But... (Amy)
-I don''t think your sister is weak as you think, Amy. (Euryale)
I know that since Mia had grown after she went through the trials. She is not crying as much as before.
-I will tell her then. (Amy)
Euryale smiles and says.
-That''s good! Even as the second sister of the trio, I often rely on my big sister since she is smarter than I. (Euryale)
-Right... Family needs to rely on each other. (Amy)
-I almost forget to ask about it! (Euryale)
-What''s wrong, Euryale? (Amy)
-You told me that your parents left some hints to you guys, right? (Euryale)
-Ah, yes! (Amy)
I open my pocket and start finding that "thing."
-My parents seemed to give that "thing" to a survivor and told him to give it once they met us. Luckily, sister Stolas met that person, and he told her to give this to us. (Amy)
I take out a black coin from the pocket and show it to Euryale.
-Euryale? (Amy)
The moment Euryale saw the coin in my hand, her face darkened.
-Can I borrow it a little bit, Amy? (Euryale)
-Yes? (Amy)
I gave the coin to her. Euryale picked the coin and looked at it with a stiff face.
-Amy! (Euryale)
-What''s wrong, Euryale? (Amy)
-I think your parents may come from "Chaos." (Euryale)
