- Owari no Serafu:Volume 1 Prologue
- Prologue - About the Spring of this World
- When I was a kid, I thought that any kind of dream I had would be granted.
- Being with the person I like, obtaining whatever I want, and living my days happily.
- I thought it was a simple thing.
- I thought it was really a simple thing.
- "Hey Glen."
- "............"
- "Hey, Ichinose Glen."
- "Hn?"
- "About us...... you know......"
- "............"
- "When we become adults...... erm, will we be able to get married......?
- "............"
- "Will we be able to stay together forever like now?"
- On the green lawn.
- Under the cloudless, clear sky.
- Said the girl who was grasping my hand beside me.
- She was so close that I could hear her breathing. I liked that voice. I liked that voice of hers. I liked her pulse. I liked everything about her.
- But, I replied without looking at her.
- "Impossible."
- "Why?"
- Her voice trembled a little.
- And I said.
- "You know it right?"
- "It's because...... of my house?"
- "...... I'm from the branch house. And you are the successor to head of the main house. we're a bad match for each other."
- "But, but that doesn't matter......"
- "It does."
- I cut her off.
- And she kept quiet. No, she might have been crying. Since she knew that as well. Since she truly knew that as well. Which was why her breathing became a little chaotic, and her grasp became much, much tighter.
- At the same time, voices rang out from afar.
- "There she is!"
- Mahiru-sama!"
- "It's that Ichinose brat again, were you the one who brought Mahiru-sama out!?"
- "For someone of a lowly branch house, what the hell are you scheming!"
- I looked up.
- I spoke to the girl with ashen hair beside me.
- "Your escorts are here."
- She was indeed crying. While grasping my hand tightly,
- "I...... don't want to separated from Glen."
- "............"
- "I...... I......"
- However, at that moment, I could no longer hear the girl's voice. But it was not because the girl stopped speaking.
- I was getting beaten up.
- Grown-ups came and beat me up.
- "Stooooppppppppp!"
- The girl screamed, but her voice did not reach the grown-ups.
- "Know your place, shitty brat!"
- "Let's just kill him! He's just an unneeded Ichinose from the branch family!"
- "Kill him! Kill him!"
- Said the grown-ups as they continued beating me.
- I looked at the crying girl vacantly while I was getting beaten up.
- The girl called Mahiru.
- To me, who was lowly born, she was the sun......
- "Stop! Please, stop!"
- At that moment, I lost consciousness for an instant.
- The iron smell of blood.
- The endless clear blue sky.
- The nice feeling of the lawn.
- As I started to fall amongst those things, I thought.
- About the time when I was a kid, when I thought that any kind of dream I had would be granted, but yet.
- Being with the person I like, obtaining whatever I want, and living my days happily.
- Those seemed like really simple things, but yet.
- Those truly seemed like really simple things, but yet.
- "...... power."
- I murmured as I was falling to the ground.
- I clenched my fist tightly,
- "...... I don't have, enough power...... to obtain the things I want."
- And looked up.
- It seemed like the girl was about to be taken away.
- She looked at me with tears in her eyes.
- And she appeared to be apologizing to me, again and again.
- Sorry.
- It's all my fault. Sorry.
- Even when she was not at fault.
- Even when the one who was at fault was the lowly born, powerless me.
- "............"
- I looked at her and extended my hand.
- Towards empty space.
- Towards the sun.
- Towards Mahiru.
- While I was thinking about, 'what should I do in order to obtain anything, anything that I want', I......

- And then, 10 years went by.
