After lina had used all of her MP to send her magic to Ichiro during his fight with Zagor, she fell asleep and was pulled to another realm where she spoke with Asys, the God of Magic.
When she woke up, she held a strange book in her arms that Asys had given her in her dreams.
She slowly opened it up, but the words were written with incomprehensible symbols that glowed for a mont, and in the blink of an eye, the book dispersed into thin air.
"Huh?" lina pondered out loud.
"lina, you are awake!" Eve, her elven princess roommate, exclaid from the balcony.
Yuki and Eve quickly entered the room to check on lina’s well-being, who reassured them she felt perfectly fine.
Her roommates explained that after she fell unconscious, they called the nurse of the academy, who arrived at their room with the headmaster and startled the two princesses even more.
Nonetheless, Headmaster Devon was the one who told the girls that lina would be fine and even infused so of his magic onto her so that it would take less ti for her to wake up.
lina had slept for an entire day, and right after her roommates explained what had happened in the last 24 hours, she suddenly rembered the reason she fell unconscious in the first place.
"Ichiro..." she muttered.
By that point, the fight in Kalusia had already co to an end, but the news hadn’t reached the Sephyr Kingdom as Ichiro’s voice crystal was destroyed.
The princess was too anxious to attend her classes, so she asked for a leave of absence with the headmaster’s approval and stayed in her room, fidgeting her fingers nervously.
A few days later, Luca and his friends paid a visit to the princess in her room, who seed to be in a depressed state as she waited for news about the war to arrive.
lina knew that it would take ti for a letter to get there from Kalusia, but that didn’t stop her from patiently waiting on her balcony.
"Hey there, Princess lina. We brought so sweets and snacks to cheer you up," said Luca as his two friends set the boxes with chocolates on the table.
"Thanks. I’m not hungry, though..." lina replied, holding onto the rail of the balcony as she stared into the distance.
Yuki and Eve were also present, telling the three n that they had been trying to cheer her up ever since she woke up to no avail.
However, right at that mont, they heard a knock on their door, prompting Yuki to check who it was.
It was Headmaster Devon, who had personally gone to the princesses’ room to deliver good news, saying that Queen Diana had received a letter from King Leon where he confird their victory against the devil.
Everyone in the room cheered with excitent, including Luca and his friends. Still, lina kept holding onto the rail of the balcony without moving.
The headmaster approached the silver-haired princess and gently placed his hand on her shoulder.
"He is alright, Princess..." he said, making lina sniff as she slowly turned around, showcasing her face full of tears of happiness.
lina gave the old sage a hug as a torrent of tears flowed out of her eyes, and her friends couldn’t do anything but feel happy for the princess, including Luca, who realized every day that lina only had romantic eyes for Ichiro.
The next day, lina attended her classes like usual, feeling a lot better now that she knew that Ichiro had survived the battle.
Nonetheless, the fact that she hadn’t talked to him in days still bothered her.
’I wish I could see him...’ she thought.
lina wanted to co up with a plan to visit Kalusia herself to see Ichiro, but she couldn’t keep skipping classes, or she would get expelled.
The stuff that was being taught at the academy wasn’t helping lina in her growth, but it was her duty as the princess to graduate, so she couldn’t simply ignore that responsibility.
One night, lina and her two roommates were hanging out on the balcony, drinking tea and sharing stories to keep the silver-haired princess’ mind occupied.
Suddenly, a strange sensation got to lina’s body, making her stand up abruptly and startling her two roommates.
The princess stood next to the balcony rail and squinted to get a better look at the tiny dot that she could see in the distance in the dark night sky.
"What’s wrong?" Yuki asked, standing up from her seat with a preoccupied face.
"I-is that...?" lina muttered before smiling brightly.
The dot that was visible in the distance beca bigger and clearer, making Yuki and Eve curious as to what was coming their way at such high speeds.
"Ichiroooo!" lina yelled from the bottom of her lungs.
"Sorry, I’m a bit late..." said Ichiro, gently floating right in front of the rail where lina stood.
Yuki and Eve stayed silent, not believing their eyes as they saw the man they had heard so much about floating in front of their balcony and talking to lina like it was no big deal.
As he slowly descended on the balcony’s platform, lina hugged him tightly with a little tear forming under her eyelids and let out a long sigh of relief.
"You dummy. You lost the voice crystal..." she said.
"Heh, well, I didn’t lose it exactly... Also, ouch..." Ichiro replied, making her aware of the injuries that still plagued his body as she hugged him tightly.
Without any concern for the people around them, lina raised Ichiro’s poncho and shirt to look at his wrapped-up wounds, but his entire torso was covered with fabric that worked as gauze.
Still, lina’s actions alone were enough to make both of her roommates flush with embarrassnt as they also noticed Ichiro’s chiseled body.
The silver-haired princess had too many things she wanted to do. She wanted to take a closer look at Ichiro’s wounds, introduce him to her roommates, and ask him why he had co back so soon without his companions.
Fortunately, Ichiro was there solely for her, so he felt glad that he could finally talk to lina again after months of being separated. However, before he could elaborate any further, he fell asleep in lina’s arms.
