"Ah, then we part ways here. I need to go this way next." Aoto pointed to the intersection on the right, "Shall we meet again if fate allows?"
"Mm..." Mukiwa nodded, her shy expression never fading from her face, almost never having looked directly at Aoto, "Goodbye..."
After bidding farewell to Mukiwa, Aoto, with his hand on the sword at his waist, continued to patrol the area he was responsible for.
