Wild blows of the blades incessantly lashed the ground and released a high-pitched sound. The goal that she had set herself, however, was not the stone base but him, just him.
Her anger slipped from her desolate heart straight into the sword and was ready to bring cold death.
It rattled violently and before she could save herself he held her arm. He pushed his face so close to hers that she could see the web of red veins in the white of his wild eyes. Yet she felt the deep pain from him.
She hastily averted her gaze and grabbed her sword ...

Jessica Ushiromiya played dreamily with the trailer that Shannon-chan had given her when she last said goodbye. It sparkled silver-gold in the light and was shaped like a butterfly. But that was not the purpose of this piece.
It should serve as a reminder of the family and all servants. Because the next family reunion wouldn't take place again for five years.
Tired the blonde got out of bed and went out of her room to at least tell Natsuhi what she had come up with as a plan.
"Mom? Are you there?", Jessi asked carefully into the long hallway. Jessica could already smell the food from her room, which seemed to distract her mother.
"Mom?" It rang out again in the kitchen.
Smiling, Natsuhi jumped at her loving nickname and turned around. Her face was so peaceful, relaxed, happy as it hadn't been in a long time. This was no wonder if one was seen as a mockery of the family.

Natsuhi often cried. And even if she had made a wrong statement and had to look at the faces of her sister-in-law and sister-in-law, her heart burst. She hated the family and the only thing that fulfilled her life was the time when there was no meeting or her daughter Jessica.
At the sight of it, Jessica couldn't express her wish that she would destroy everything. Shaking her head, she swallowed her feelings and helped her mother, because Kraus would soon be back from work.

He must have taken a path she didn't know. There were a few branches in the middle of the rose garden and it had to be somewhere.
Her hands began to glow like hot coals and tried to shut down the hedge, which had just rustled.
Too slow, because he could move much faster and ran his shining blade just past her face. In no time at all he turned the sword around so that only the sharp side was in the palm of his hand.
He didn't want to kill her, didn't want to make her sad ...
He wanted to save her!

Eating together at the table was something completely different for Jessica, at least so private. Kraus ate so hastily with the joy of being with his family that he kept choking. He looked really cool doing it, but almost dying from eating wasn't exactly fun.The three of them laughed heartily together. Not only because Kraus turned out to be more and more dumb, but because they once had their own family life.
It could have continued so nicely, but ...
"Papa, Mama. I want to bring Kanon-kun over to us."
At first none of the parents uttered a word. That didn't stop Jessica from continuing to emphatically underline her statement with a serious look.
Without a word, Kraus lowered his fork and cleaned his mouth.
"Is there a reason?" He asked, his eyes closed.
Jessica had already opened her mouth again and then stopped. She couldn't persuade her parents with wild sayings anyway, so she had to say it calmly.
"Since grandfather took him in, Kanon has been very alone. Shannon is with George and Kanon himself ... he ..." Jessica didn't want to talk any more.
The thought that Kanon was alone, even at that moment the girl hurt so much that it almost constricted her throat.
She didn't have any friends either, but she did have a home and parents.

Kraus couldn't listen to that any longer. He hit the table and got up at the same time.
"This boy just causes trouble and costs money! We wouldn't even have a cellar for him!"
Before Jessica could take legal action, her father had disappeared and Natsuhi just looked after him plaintively. She found the reasons for getting this canon from her daughter very human. But she had never stabbed Kraus in the back out of fear, and then did that with Jessica.
She quickly ran after her husband, leaving Jessica grinding behind.

[I]She could not expose herself to his presence and immediately ran as fast as she could into the forest. The branches cracked under her feet, but no footsteps could be heard behind her. Had he given up?
Puffing, she approached the gate and ran her fingers along the thick bars. When she finally entered the property, she discovered the golden blonde-haired woman drinking tea.
"Beatrice! Everything is going very differently ... I ... I don't want that!" She just couldn't suppress the shaky voice in her voice. Beato laughed in amusement and put down her teacup.
"It was you who asked me for help, wasn't it? Your need was probably bigger than your intellect!" Beatrice couldn’t even laugh at herself and just let her stand there crying.

Now it was a few hours ago that Jessica had let her thoughts run free. It was now evening and they still hadn't spoken a word to each other.
While Natsuhi and Kraus were sitting outside in the garden, a suspicious look from Jessica fell on her father's exposed wallet.
It was wrong that she knew. After all the wonderful time, I am sure that I was also selfish.
But wasn't it with Kanon too, leaving him behind when he could be so happy?For a moment Jessica got into a conflict, didn't know what was good or bad. But her heart spoke a clear language.
Jessi didn't have the time to count the yen. But when she noticed that Krauss wanted to come back in, she took the whole bag, grabbed her jacket and ran straight out the front door. Nothing else mattered now.
Completely in Paraneuer, the girl looked hurriedly to the right and left until the old bike caught her eye. Without wasting any more time, she saddled up and pedaled as hard as she hadn't done in a long time.

Jessica scurried skillfully over the uneven terrain. Due to their speed, there was a hissing sound at every avenue crossed and slowly an unpleasant pain crept up to the pelvic area, starting from the toes.
// It'll all turn out fine Kanon-kun! //, thought Jessi. There was nobody who would support her now, but she knew that she had to somehow get the servant away, no matter the price.
After a while she reached the ferry and jumped off her bike, never forgetting her wallet. Bumpy steps led them first of all on the right path, which then led them to the docks.
The last people were just invited when Jessica held up her hand and let out a loud "Wait!"
“I want to go to Rokkenjima, no matter what you want, bring me there!” Actually, minors were not allowed to travel over there alone, but Jessica promised him a lot of money and so the little trip began.

Unspecified about the place and time, Jessica sank into a brief sleep and only heard the water in the background. It was a quiet moment and despite the fact that she was asleep, Jessica was troubled by thoughts of her parents. What are you doing now? And were you mad?
Before Jessica could think about it any further, they put on. The girl came to her senses again through the steps of the other people and discovered the wide open country ahead of her. It wasn't far to Kanon. Out of sheer anticipation, Jessica forgot to say thank you and just ran all the way in front of her without knowing that she was right.
Panting, she suddenly stood at the other end of the rose garden and discovered the servant as he was about to drive the cart away.
At the sight of it, the bitter, salty liquid rose into her eyes and rolled down her cheek in the form of tears. "Canon!" She yelled. "Kanon-kun !!"
Startled, the young man turned and saw her ... Jessica.
