Megumin P.O.V
This is something I never expected to happen, even I, an 8 year old brat knows this is bad.
"So sir, you can start working for our company next week in another city."
"Very well, I'll prepare moving out... I'll be on time."
My father got recruited by a decent company, I'm happy of course since we will now have stable income.
But what made me surprised is that we need to move out to another city, what will Kazuma think now that we're moving out? Ah, the corporate slave that was interrogating my father already left. Maybe I should visit Kazuma.
"Dad, can I go play now?"
"Hmm, well... You can... But where are you heading?"
"To one of my friend's house."
"Be back before dark then."
So I left my house and went to Kazuma's place... Do I really need to tell him about it?
I mean he has been my Onii-chan this whole time and has been a good friend, but I'm afraid of what he'll do later because he's pretty unpredictable.
"Oh, there you are Megumin... I was just on my way to your place."
"Onii-chan? Can we walk around for a while?"
Oh? I didn't expect to encounter him while on my way to his house.
"Sure, sure... We can, also did you already eat?"
I shook my head as if to say 'no' and he lead me to a cafe we frequent, he ordered me some food and hot cocoa.
Hmmm, this hot cocoa calmed my overworking brain. Kazuma treatment always calm me down.
So I strengthened my resolve... A day before moving out... I'll tell him about it... I'm sure he'll understand, so please let me enjoy my final moments with Kazuma.
Time Pass
It almost a week since the corporate slave that recruit my father come to our home.
Time flies by so fast... I'm inside our house where I've pretty much lived my whole life but tomorrow we'll be leaving this little shack and mobe out to another city.
I played a bit with Kazuma for a little longer than usual, he gave me an eye patch and a magic wand in that time... Now I look like that really cool Arch Wizard in that Anime Festival, MUAHAHAHAHAHA! No one can beat me!
Well, enough playing around... It's about time I tell Kazuma that I'm moving out... hope he understand it clearly.
Class ended earlier than Kazuma, but I still managed to spend some time with him. And because of that I know where Kazuma is heading because he told me he was going to meet Rie-san in the park.
I'm headed over there right now, I wonder what they're going to talk about plus there's also the matter of me moving out.
Oh, I'm already in the park... Now, where are you Kazuma... It took me a while but I finally found him sitting in a bench with Rie-chan, I haven't seen their faces but I'm quite familiar with Kazuma's back.
With a smile I ran towards the two, until suddenly Rie-san stood up and took a glance towards Kazuma, Kazuma also stood up.
"When we grow up, let's get married..."
Wait what? Why is she talking about getting married? And with Kazuma? Somehow I feel jealous and anger right now .
"Rieri... Alright! I shall wait for you! It's a promise"
"It's a promise."
At that very moment I felt my world shatter... I don't really feel like talking to Kazuma. I felt the sudden urge to leave the place so I ran,
D-did K-Kazuma promise to m-marry her? Rie-san? In the future? I should be happy for the both of them but why do I feel so sad? Is this the after effect of eating nothing but rice gruel?
As if to answer my question my brain replayed the times I spent with Kazuma.
"Are you okay?"
"It's alright if you feel uncomfortable calling me Onii-chan in that state."
"Because I see you as a true friend."
I remember the days when he took care of me when I was sick, tears started to build up in my eyes. I'm only a friend so why am I sad?
"Eat up, Megumin-chan..."
"How about calling me Onii-chan?"
I know I'm just his little sister, so why? As I was reminiscing my times with Kazuma I was at my house. I entered my room and jumped on the bed...
"Pay me back?"
"How about getting married?"
Ah, is that why? I unconsciously thought about the joke that Kazuma told me sometime after we met. I c-considered it as a promise?
Kazuma is a good person, I know that I'm nothing but a burden to him… but why… I just wanna be with him… I understand he deserve a girl that's better than me… Now that I think about it, that joke is all of source of my sadness and love towards Kazuma right now.
I'm so silly, I have a crush on Kazuma now? But now it's one sided because he clearly likes Rie-san more than me. I've never felt like this before, pain not cause by starvation feels so bad, it hurts but I don't know what to do. Maybe crying will help, well I'm already crying why not add some more tears.
Oh right,I need to tell Kazuma about me moving out! But what do I do? Crying because some joke that I consider a promise?
Sigh, I feel like all my energy got drained by crying... Let's just write a letter to Kazuma then. No, not about the marriage thing but about me moving out... And maybe draw something while I'm at it… to lighten my mood
Kazuma P.O.V
Megumin didn't go to school today, I'm afraid she's sick again. Considering her family's status, I'm usually the one that takes care of Megumin's health.
So here I am, In front of her house that looks more like a shack.
"Hey, you!"
"Hmm, you're calling me? Ojii-san?"
"Yeah,you. Are you Kazuma? Satou Kazuma?"
"Yes, I'm Kazuma."
"Oh, Hyoizaburo's daughter, Megumin-chan, told me to give this letter to you."
Hmm? A letter?
"Just this?"
"Yeah, open it yourself."
And with that he left me alone in front of Megumin's house.
Dear Kazuma,
How are you Onii-chan? Though it's probably been only a day since you received this letter, I hope you're fine. Sorry if I didn't tell you that we're moving out to another city. If you're asking why then it's because my father got hired by a new company. It's unexpected that my father got accepted. With that aside, maybe yesterday was the last day we got to see each other because my family plans to live in that city for quite a long time. I had really fun times with you, I had fun being your little sister. I... I hope we meet again... I hope you enjoy your childhood with Rie-san... Onii-chan, no, Kazuma... I hope you live a wonderful life.
Yours Truly, Megumin.
Oh, she's moving out to another city? I'm happy that her father now has a proper job but sad at the same time knowing that my number of friends got less here.
Hm, did she draw me and Rieri in a wedding ceremony? And isn't that Megumin smiling in the background? Pretty neat.
Normal P.O.V
While Kazuma is impressed with Megumin's drawing, he didn't notice that at the back of that letter is Kazuma and Megumin wearing wedding outfits.
