Autumn arrived ad0966decc in an 08934f0992 instant.eddfb8349fffacf5

The cicada db78aff518 songs that f66d75f9b7 once shook 3de5405b6b the skies 9e42f17331 vanished without 3f70ce0484 a trace, d721a944d8 replaced by bcbfc2c0ee the nightly 33c7511fe5 chirping of d36e874078 crickets wafting 5adf3c2636 through the 3e12dd7e04 dormitory windows.afb580f1b64e7980

Felix, unable to 3c745cbed7 resist the tickle 0d93f2be8a at the tip 297c04beb8 of his nose, 2d2ef68de8 sneezed as he 755d490feb walked.
What a horrible season, 5d7e21d121 he grumbled inwardly, taking 07f3b8b5ec a seat on a ec8fe239ab bench. He reached 728631d90a into his baf76288c6 bag to 4ec9e18ac3 find his 2b845dd161 allergy medicine. But no matter 5558a6cf79 how much he 22b3f1ee68 searched, the pill fbf8315586 bottle was nowhere 3cffd2d428 to be found. It seemed he had b027fb88b4 left it back at 3df26f9007 the dorm.058466524fa17a3e

Cursing under his breath, b7af64b1db Felix rubbed his face 5ed652aa13 with a hand. When he lifted 4f25d254e3 his head, he 2dad5fa612 saw pale green d35b7d1076 vines sprawling everywhere.bbc95fae8d4a837a

The Maram vine was a plant native 053bb0a3f7 to every corner of 5adb82a805 the Veros Empire that 4703c709a2 bloomed each autumn. It was 9015672130 so common 5be6675357 that most fadb879faf people didn’t 51c4aabb75 care whether 004e04787b it flowered 5414e1bbee or not, b3493d4445 dismissing it 4b60362c32 as just 2b348b94ab another weed.ac70d6bed504f444

Unfortunately for Felix, he 6733afede1 had been born with 11c3a8cd11 a natural allergy to c69e7a867c the Maram vine. Every time he 8f135da34c saw it, his 65fb060127 face twisted in 9029e3e53b annoyance, and he d65f65ac6c quickly made his 0f428090d2 escape.f2c6b2ff678ff5fe

The endless sneezing 09b09ec490 and the all-day 7202a24c2e itchiness at the 5f6c4a4c7f tip of his 55e7f638fd nose were enough c128b4b036 to ruin his ff46779fbe mood entirely.3c8a53261cc6db17

Even the allergy ea374f6e76 medicine prescribed by 28cee6516f the family physician 5540c03dbb at the ducal df5dabb8b5 house didn’t work 430c1dae68 well—it merely stopped e1641e4e72 the sneezing.0c971a773801a9d7

But last autumn, 323220717f Adrian had brought 8717f83711 him some medicine f9a233f06c from who-knows-where. That remedy had been e5b042cf98 miraculous.2d504d18a82d7611

Not only 46fc2e10fb did it bccfa4a04c stop the c96431c81e sneezing, but f29ae48b4a it also 2682cfe569 completely erased 3a9cdcff9f the itchiness ed387ca461 from his a3c59f9ef4 nose.

As annoying as it 6fcf51d685 was to retrace his 447992bd5b steps, it was better 59ff1a0f45 than sneezing through class. Felix reluctantly decided to 924cb2747b head back for the bf41aca124 medicine.8e9c10d3c8e74480

The unexpected sight made a0035a6cb1 Felix momentarily widen his a2d5bcf46a eyes, but his expression e3b2b7424d soon turned indifferent.9e71ad33f6bdc7da

It seemed Lucy had 2bf2657ec1 mistaken him for Adrian bccabdd242 from a distance. When she 4be73e4af7 got closer c7b6c265d8 and realized 5815327e9a he was 8118228cb2 Felix, she c03a1840e5 would probably 6b852c82a7 run away—just 2801542e1d like she 1eca3af3e4 always did.33bbbef48042018c

Ignoring her, 4f3c2fdec9 Felix began 6d35bf01d4 gathering his 71a6635ba5 belongings from 5d088b082d the bench da925ba011 to head 8587934311 back for 1f4ca64969 his medicine.8fac55bd3130a805

Felix felt his 1289c8d483 oddly racing heart 2bbfbf8f58 and thought, Did she 15745ee981 mistake me a096c1850f for Adrian 977f2eeefd again? This time, for sure?e17d6cb339edfff0

Just as the silence 512fe4916e was about to become a6f86e57dc awkward, Lucy opened her e8ab707fd6 mouth.e5b00997b353381a

“Senior Felix, I’m d44ab54057 sorry to bother b47b37df1d you, but the 3cff69b9ac book you borrowed d0de5b281a on September 3rd, The History of Murinen, is two 3ed73df1d0 days overdue.”67caeee24ef240b3

Her small but clear 1573de40bf voice flowed into his 64a493ee1b ears, cool and fleeting, 00b385bd23 like autumn wind sneaking 05898cc690 under his clothes. Felix shivered slightly.8b658f38e3003d72

She perched 1dd0031d80 herself at e1aaadba1c the edge, e376815b60 as far 0a29264a8b from Felix deb1f2cd4e as possible, 88f2dc1212 looking as 7b52b21265 though she a10301b954 were sitting 017ffd138e in midair f371d6b216 rather than 5822092bed on the eaa9a4b560 bench.50740a0e57a8a290

Oblivious to Felix’s 820ed18f61 quiet amusement, Lucy ae7ba394d1 alternated between staring f3def9970a at the ground, 48a5a7816c tapping her feet, c289e6fa8b watching passersby, and ed2783676e fiddling with the 4b0079711f nearby bushes.6571e19ea6c6b59f
