A few days after the dinner, Mr. Saionji had gone back to pick Ryoma up.

"Make sure you keep your promise when you go to set out on your journey," said Reinhart as he stood with everyone off to the side.

"Of course," said Ryoma.

"Guess the next time we see each other will be in a few years," said Eliaria with a sad expression.

"Actually, it could be sooner," said Ryoma.

"What do you mean?" asked Elise.

"I have plans to open my third store in the capital after returning from Schluss," said Ryoma.

"Even have a few ideas to help students who use the service," he said.

"Wouldn't expect anything less from you," said Eliaria with a smile. She then surprised everyone by kissing him on the cheek.

"For good luck," she said while stepping back, her face flushing bright red.

"Thanks," said Ryoma. He then climbed onto the dragon and flew off.

The End?
