Aspirations of a Magician girl 3

My parents passed away. All the burdens now fell upon my shoulders.

This isn’t really a surprise. In the first place, I know well this day will come. Everything I always have to do have always been for this moment after all.

So… not just that, now that I’m on my own, I have to shoulder it all.

…

There’s no day that I don’t spend on improving myself. Honing my magic, or knowledge.

Without them, how can I do anything at all?

…

He comes into my life again.

That pathetic, weakling, incompetent man.

It’s not like I’m on the job anymore, I don’t need to treat him nicely.

But… whenever I try to be harsh to him, I find my own heart aching.

Mom, Dad, what is wrong with me?

What should I do now?

Worse, I’m letting him help me, rather than just shove him away.

“Well, it’s fine isn’t it? Besides, don’t tell me deep down you don’t love having him around you.”

“Shut it, Puppet!”

My face went so red I couldn’t believe it.

If he were here, I believe I could die.
