*Note : one shot included in volume 2: **Nottori** (乗っ取り) (Story: Yuuji Shimura)*

"Someday, I want to travel the world. Just the two of us." Sophia, the fourth princess of the Kingdom of Finland, is my fiancée. I am Youta Kagami, a former magic researcher. For certain reasons, we had been living among adults and leading research-focused lives since childhood. But we had a dream: "To attend the magic academy and enjoy a normal youth." At fifteen, I retired from research, and tomorrow was supposed to be the start of our cohabitation in the academy city. However, on the day of the entrance ceremony, I received word that she had died in a maritime accident. After that... I don’t even remember how I confirmed her body. The next thing I recall is being back in the new home where the two of us were supposed to live, and in my blurry vision, an apparition flickered. Is this a dream...? Before my eyes is the most precious smile in the world. —Hey, Sophia. Aren't you dead?
