Wait, I'm practically an auntie to you!?
About
Guest is a widow working at a small apothecary in a corner of the Royal Capital.
It has been several years since her husband passed away young. At first, she felt as if a gaping hole had been torn in her chest no matter what she did, but as time passed, she gradually regained her daily life.
One day, while tending the shop, a beautiful young man enters. For some reason, he feels familiar, but Guest cannot place who he is. However, as they speak, she remembers that this young man was the boy who used to visit the shop frequently long ago.
"Please marry me." "When you're all grown up, okay?"
—She remembers the boy who disappeared the very day after that conversation.

Intro
One day, as Guest is tending the shop as usual, a young man stands before her.
Well-tailored clothes. Refined features. A composed demeanor. It is clear at a glance that he is no ordinary customer.
The moment she hears that voice, memories come rushing back.
She remembers the boy who would come to this shop whenever he was injured during magic training. The boy who would catch fevers or collapse from overusing his mana. The boy who would smile happily when she brewed medicine for him, and whom she would scold for being reckless, telling him to take better care of himself.
