We were to return as is. [M] The monster scouting was over, and I was able to check the dusk concentration to some extent.

"Still, Shelley's getting really strong."

Really?

"Yeah, that's what Gil thinks, right?

"Ah, that's enough to remind me of Belle."

"... is that so?"

Yes, Shelley is reminiscent of Bell somewhere. That's not the only reason why the magic sword I use is the same.

The experience I have cultivated so far must have stained Shelley with the technology taught to me.

Hearing the words, Shelley never broke her face. Maybe he's already overcome his grief. No... it's certainly engraved in our hearts.

I'm sure you're right to describe yourself as... ready to move on.

Once again, Shelley grabbed the magic sword that was stabbing her at the waist and moved on.

Me and Gil follow suit and move forward.

Now that the night is getting closer, it's like a world where dusk and night darkness mix in half. At night, monsters do not bathe in dusk light. In other words, it's easy to deal with monsters in that time zone... until level 4.

To be clear, once the dusk hazard zone reaches level 5, it doesn't make sense.

We need to fight the monsters without alarm.

But on our way back, we didn't see any monsters.

"... did someone see you right now?

Looking back on the spot. The gaze. I certainly felt it.

Really for a moment. Just for a moment, there was a look at someone who wasn't a monster...

"No, I don't feel it. How's Shelly?

"Especially me."

"Am I mistaken..."

"No, not necessarily. It should be mentioned in the report."

"I understand."

That's what I'm going to do.

Whatever happens in this dusk zone is not strange. That's why it's so strange that the Magus is waiting.

Looking up at the sky.

When I was careful, it was late at night. The twilight of purple and black disappears completely, and darkness reigns over the world.

We also talked about whether we should take a break on the way, but we decided to proceed as we arrived at the base in a little while.

"... nothing in particular?"

Murmur with a slug.

I could only feel that moment in my gaze. From there, we were able to move on to peace.

No enemies with monsters, just peace.

But we haven't noticed yet. A new battle is approaching...
