“Just when we thought life was back to normal, someone aimed at my life.

"I was able to live to this day thanks to the king's secretly sending people to protect me. But these eyes were poured by corrosive liquid splashed out when the assassin struggled, and then I was blind.

"I can't go to school anymore. Jessica started to tell me the content of the courses at home every day after class. Later, the other two people who had a better time, Mormon and Hassan took turns to help.

"But, these peaceful days that I finally got again are quietly changing. When I spent several years trying to make myself unable to rely entirely on others, I found that the environment I lived in was different from before.

"It was Jessica at the beginning. Although she would occasionally come back late, she didn't even get home late at night, and sometimes she was injured and asked what she was doing, she kept silent.

"After that, Mormon and Hassan were the same. After leaving a word of intention to drop out of school, they gradually rarely came to us. Jessica's sister also kept running outside. The reason, even if I asked, no one told me.

"In the end, I couldn't help but be curious. I went out alone when they were not around one day. But, as a blind man, how can he tell the difference between the east, west, south and north? Even if he goes out for a walk, it can only be achieved with the help of others.

"So, before we could go far, a neighbor took me home and asked in a reproachful tone: 'Snow, what are you doing for you? Do you know it's dangerous?'

"I was wondering: 'I'm just walking around here, it's not a strange place, where is it dangerous?"

"The neighbor sighed helplessly: 'You don't mind something happening, but your Jessica is afraid that something will happen to you! If the little girl pursues it, I can't afford it. She doesn't have much money at first, and now she lives a hard life. The prices are the same every day, and no one knows that they will starve to death one day. It's not easy for Jessica to make money, you have to understand her hard work."

"The neighbor said a few more words, and it was all about the rising living expenses. I could probably guess what Jessica did. After all, the pocket money given to us by those nobles has never increased every month. Although my family took two pocket money, there were still three mouths waiting for dinner.

"So, when Jessica came back in the evening, I said to her, 'Jessica, let me come and help you with it!'. When this was said, it was Jessica's rage: 'Don't do extra things! My sister and I can solve the problem!'. The first time I saw Jessica like this, I had to shut up my mouth, but I secretly decided in my heart that I must do something within my ability.

"The next morning, when Jessica went out, she asked me strangely: 'Hey, Snow, we... are friends, aren't we?' I wonder why she said this, but she still answered without hesitation: 'Well, of course! It's always been!'
