Chapter 136: Melina’s New Friends
It had been a few weeks since Ichiro went to help with the war against Kalusia, and after Melina received his first message talking about lesser demons, she felt worried every day.
She knew that Ichiro was downplaying the situation so that she wouldn’t worry, which meant that the battle was worse than she would have expected.
Melina knew Ichiro like the back of her hand. Even though they had only spent a little over one year together, she always felt like she knew everything about him.
At one point, she began having the same nightmares that she used to have before meeting Ichiro. Dreams where she found herself in another body, in another world, sharing memories with a man with the same name.
The princess always knew that her dreams had meaning to them, but she could never remember their most important details as her mind would get quite foggy after waking up from such dreams.
Yuki and Eve, her roommates, started to get worried for her after seeing her depressed attitude.
They had been sharing the room for some time now, and even when Melina was frustrated or angry about her classes, she still had an enthusiastic and energetic aura emanating from her.
However, after the war with Kalusia started, she had been more mellow and absent-minded.
Every night, Melina would sit outside on the balcony of their room and listen to Ichiro’s music box before going to bed, as if it soothed her worries for some time.
Her two roommates knew about the war and about Ichiro’s participation in it since Melina vented with them when it happened, but they had no way of raising her spirits.
"I can’t bear seeing her like that..." said Yuki to Eve as they both stared at Melina, who was standing outside on the balcony listening to Ichiro’s music box.
