Event Story – Spring Has Sprung! Happy Easter, ch.9

[kozvme]

 

Oscar: W- Welcome back, Brad-sama. This is, well...

Brad: Is this about Will?

Akira & Oscar: !?

Akira: H- How could you tell!?
Did you also follow Will...

Brad: I do not know where is Will or what he's doing.
However, I got the gist of it when I looked at your panicked state.

Akira & Oscar: ......

Brad: I knew Will was going out at night more lately, but... I see.
He did look desperate when we talked about "Easter league", after all.

Akira: I think Will's taking things way too far. 
But, I also understand how he feels, so I really dunno what we should do...

Oscar: Both Akira and I want to respect his feelings, but...

Akira: If we leave him be, Will's gonna continue until Easter. If his wish doesn't come true... he's just gonna feel shattered.
Aaaaaah~~~~! I can’t find the right words right now, but someone tell me how to stop him!
Anyway, why didn't Will talk with us!?

Brad: Will is the only one who can make the flowers bloom. So, even if he talks with you, he doesn't know what he should say... He probably didn't think about consulting with you in the first place.

Akira: U- Urk~... How come you understand Will so well, Brad?

Brad: It's just a hunch.

Akira: A hunch?

Brad: Akira, Oscar, could you leave this matter to me?

Akira & Oscar: Eh...



Will: Haaaaahh!
Haah, haah... Have I made any progress today?

......

(... Not at all apparently. Not even a 1/5.
What should I do? It's about time I go back, I also have patrols to do tomorrow morning.
But...
The weather forecast for Easter isー 「Sunny. However, it is estimated that the temperature will be much lower than average」, huh...
When I asked Brad-san, he said they'll think about it until the very last minute, but... it's physically impossible for flowers to bloom, they might really deem it not feasible.
... I need to make every second count. I have to do what I can... or I'll regret it.
Alright, just a bit more, hang in there...!)

Hah! Haaaahh!!
Hah, yah!
Haah, haah... There...!



(!? I feel dizzy...!)



Brad: You pushed things too far.

Will: B- Brad-san...?

Brad: The young leaves are thicker than I imagined. Looks like you mishandled your ability.

Will: ......

Brad: The fact that doing this every night didn't interfere with your training and the missions is worth praising. However... you overdid it.
As your mentor, I cannot overlook this any further.

Will: ......

Brad: Let's go back to the tower after a little rest.

Will: ... Yes, understood.
