Nine: Their love life...

In the year 3598, while attending elementary school in the Kingdom of Exodus, Qinny was in her second year. She had felt a crush on Alven since he was a transfer student from another school.

"Let me introduce myself. He's a brilliant new student from our country. Please introduce yourself."

*Writing her name on blackboard*

"Hello everyone. My name is Qinny. I'm a transfer student from another kingdom whose i can't of my kingdom. Nice to meet you everyone."

"Yes, please take that empty seat over there."

"Okay, ma'am."

Kinney walked over to the empty bench next to Arven. Arven stared out the window, searching for something fun to do.

"Um, hello. My name is Qinny. What's your name?"

"My name is Alven. Please help me."

"Hmm..."

Qinny and Alven became best friends, the first friends she'd ever had. They played happily until it got late and she forgot to go home. Alven and Kinney were together from elementary school until he graduated from high school with honors. After that, he stayed at Alven's house, conducting experiments based on the results and planning a safe escape from the kingdom.

But why does his heart perceive Alven and Qinny's intimacy as love at first sight? It's Qinny, longing for the sweet life, who feels it. They're stuck together like stamps on an inseparable envelope, like a married couple.

"How's this?"

*Crack*

The door opened slowly, slowly, and...

*Shit*

"Ouch," said Qinny, feeling pain from her actions. Citing her conversations with Alven, Kuwedzera, and Vento, she was conducting an expedition to the Exodus Kingdom to gather information to uncover the crimes of King Albert Zadnost, who had tarnished the kingdom's honor with numerous transgressions as a false king throughout his life.

"Kinny, what are you doing?"

"Oh, I'm fine."

"Hmm... will you come with me?"

"Really?"

"Yes, I will..."

"Oh, seriously?"

"Yes, I will..."

"Oh, why am I asking you this, Qinny? Why is my heart beating so fast? Is this love? What is it?!?"

Alven still remembers Qinny, who he'd been with from elementary school until they graduated from high school, and he feels like he's in love with her. And because he was Qinny's first friend and her first best friend, he feels like he's harboring his own feelings.

"What are we going to do?!?!?" Alven and Qinny had been dating since middle school, and Kinny had often been alone with Alven late at night, so the two were quietly chatting.

"Alven, are you okay? Why is your face red?" Kuwedzera was confused by Alven's blush, but only Alven knew.

"N-no, no, it's you guys." Alven's face grew redder and redder, until his entire face was red.

"Oh, you... you're in love?" Vento realized with a face of surprise.

"Aa... Uh... what's wrong?"

"Someone wants to ask me a question."

"That's..."

*After listening to Win, Kuwe, and Vento tell me their stories for so long...*

"Is that so..."

*Looks at the slightly door*

*Tap* *Tap*

*Opens the door slowly*

*Alven and Qinny stomp on each other, their faces red*

...

"Hello, Alven." Qinny nervously waved.

"Oh?"

*Eeek~~~~~~!!!!!*

"What are you doing, barging in all of a sudden?"

"Where's Win?" Alven was searching for Win in response to the question.

"He's..." Qinny was shocked when Alven asked him to look for Win.

*Srek* Win pulled the blanket off Win's bed and disappeared from the bedroom.

"Where is he? Why is he missing?"

"What happened?" Win came after washing the dirty dishes.

"You do it for this, hah!!!" Alven immediately became angry.

"What? It wasn't me?"

"Then who?"

"I, i, I did it." Qinny felt guilty for acting on her feelings.
