«I'm really, truly sorry your family suddenly decided to move to Estonia. I mean it...» Professor Misaki Yuunami murmurs—her voice is filled with an unexpected sadness.
It's strange, considering Hakuto was never a top student.
They barely ever spoke.
After class, she called him to her office.
She said it was just to sign some paperwork.
A letter of recommendation from Tsugumi High School—it would help him get into the elite school waiting for him in Estonia.
That country wasn't chosen at random.
It fits Kagura's work perfectly—there's a Seiryu Biotech research lab there.
She asked to be transferred and will lead the place.
Also, Shin said there's no HESPARC division in Estonia.
In short, it's a quiet place in Central Europe. Far from Velshekar, far from HESPARC and Kagura can keep supporting the family.
The paperwork takes less than a minute.
Hakuto, sitting in front of her desk, gets up to leave.
But she takes a step forward...
...and hugs him.
~What the...?~
