Gohda, Kumasawa or Genji ... Kanon could only count on these people.
"Ojou ... sama?" Came the boy's throat a little weakly, before Jessica came running up to him and embraced him with her delicate arms. Due to the rapid movement, Kanon almost lost his balance, but was able to hold onto the edge of the cart in time.
Her heart pounded incessantly and the otherwise cheerful girl surrendered mercilessly to tears and whimpered softly.
Kanon didn't care that his shirt was completely soaked as a result. With the still free hand he managed to hold Jessica, but he couldn't do more than hope that this closeness calmed her down.

She had stayed at Beatrice's estate several times. The facade was dilapidated and the surrounding plants turned into a kind of jungle as they grew wild here. Perhaps that was why he had lost sight of her and was now leaving her behind. For now.
Beatrice came back into the garden with a new teapot and took her old, rotten chair on the terrace.
She did not escape the fact that her counterpart had calmed down, but she looked at Beatrice very critically anyway.
"It's just tea.", Beato said because she couldn't read the expression on her face and pushed a cup over to her partner.
On the other hand, she stared into the distance with indifference and stroked the scabbard with attention.
"Why did you make a wish, although there was no longer any need to fight?" Asked Beatrice and licked her full lips with relish to enjoy the last drops of tea.
"And what about Battler and you?", She countered and stared at Beatrice out of the corner of her eye.
But there was no answer, because the two already knew it.

Jessica and Kanon went out of the rose garden, because Kanon thought it was best to bring them inside into the warmth.
Due to the storm that had occurred during the ferry ride, Jessi was completely soaked and therefore walked shakily on her legs.

"Kanon-kun?"
In the midst of the silence, Kanon was a little surprised and let out a short "Mh?"
When he looked over at Jessica, however, her gaze was bashfully fixed on the floor.
Certainly she had been embarrassed from Eben, so Kanon thought it to himself, and with all goodness she did not yet know what had moved her to the reason to return to Rokkenjima.
She had no obligations, but she might want to see her grandfather again.
Why canon too? It was just a piece of furniture.
"Where do you sleep anyway?"
The question surprised him, but Kanon was willing to answer. His eyes wandered around until he found the house and immediately pointed to it.
"In the servants' house Ojou-sama. We are not authorized to enter your sacred chambers."
It seemed as if Jessica wasn't listening anymore because now she was staring at that house.From step to step she was right with her idea of ​​the conditions under which canon had to live, but that was not reassuring but rather terrifying.

"I hereby give you the entrance to my rooms.", Jessica tried to teach him with a grin but the boy was so perplexed that his lips couldn't form a single word. So he just let himself be dragged along.
Just being with him at that moment made Jessica happy and let the sad thoughts from earlier be forgotten.

The two young people sat petrified on the bed where Jessica usually found sleep when they stayed overnight.
Because of Kanon's confusion, she was quick to persuade him to come with her, but what now?
Jessica's head felt empty because she hadn't thought any further. Because the only thing that had crossed her mind was to save Kanon.
With an iron face, Kanon examined the walls with a tunnel vision. Jessica noticed that of course and coughed inconspicuously to bring at least some "life" into the room.
"Kanon-kun, I would like to spend the night here."
Now she finally seemed of the reasons why she had ended up here on the island and where Kanon was now certain that he could no longer get into a dangerous situation that was in every way with romance, he could answer her normally as well as listen.
"Shall I make the bed for you Ojou-sama?", Kanon asked in the room but didn’t wait for an answer from you.
Immediately Kanon stood up and grabbed the blanket by its corners until Jessica put her hand on his. It felt warm and pliable, just as Kanon remembered it from the last time she touched it. His eyes clouded slightly and could only follow the length of her fingers. Only now could he really study her graceful manner. A very strange feeling gripped him and another one that told him to stop immediately.
For this reason he pulled his red cap almost completely over his face, in case something had emerged that shouldn't have been.

In this dazed moment, Kanon had only found Jessica's voice as rustling and so didn't hear what she actually wanted.
"... yes ... yes ...", the boy simply babbled so that it didn't seem unfriendly when she heard the truth. But Jessica wasn't stupid.
Her mouth played a gentle smile.
"I want you to stay here." "But .. Ojou-sama! I am a servant and ..."
Jessica knew right away that he misunderstood that and hastily waved it off.
"... you should sleep here in this bed ... and before you contradict me Kanon-kun I'll ask something else from you."
From Kanon's point of view, it couldn't get any worse, although it wasn't bad, but ...
"You come with me tomorrow. Home."

[I]She couldn't stay with this woman forever.Not with the one who was not honest with herself and who had betrayed her.
She trudged dully out the back path, practically keeping her eyes on her back. He could be anywhere. And then when he was there ... would he lie to her again?
She bit her lip bravely. But she couldn't ... she just couldn't. Exhausted, she sank to her knees and felt herself begin to bleed to death. She could clearly feel every single drop that fell into the emptiness of her body. Why can a person feel so much pain when he knows it's over anyway. Your own life - over.

A few seconds, minutes, hours had passed. Kanon could no longer count it and devoted himself to the landscape that presented itself in front of his outer field.
He was at sea. Not alone. And the way they had set themselves would bring Kanon a few more problems, he already knew that.
"... Genji, Gohda and kumasawa will definitely not be happy ...", Kanon muttered sullenly to himself while he supported himself on the railing of the ferry and crossed his arms there afterwards.
A gentle knock touched his shoulder and was meant to cheer him up.
"If so, we'll both get in trouble Kanon-kun!" Jessica said in a clear voice and started laughing. What they were doing was really crazy but she really didn't want to think about the consequences. Everything would be fine.

Finally they could dismount and were greeted by a windy gust. Although the storm had subsided, some drizzle was still guaranteed.
Kanon held an umbrella protectively that he had taken over the dear Mylady and followed her forced measure.
"... I'll sleep in a rest stop, my lady." "No!" Jessica replied in a loud voice and sighed.
"Mum and Dad will be able to overlook it ... you stay here Kanon! And I will convince Grandfather too ..."
No one would thwart their plan, no matter who it was. Because for Jessica there was nothing more important, never.
As they walked so comfortably in the pouring rain, Kanon couldn't hold back his astonishment. The town was so beautifully decorated and some huge houses almost jutted into the sky.
"We're celebrating the cherry blossom festival soon.", Jessica Kanon informed without having to say a word.
She went a few steps further, but then stopped when she noticed that Kanon had stopped and she was standing alone in the rain.
His insecurity was automatically reflected in his eyes. But Jessica started lifting the corners of her mouth again.
"I can smile for both of us, Kanon-kun, but my job for you is to smile yourself." She held out her hand to him.
Even if everything was so uncertain ... Kanon followed her. No matter what it would cost.
