That day, in Greyberg, a forest wizard - the funeral of Albert Morrow - was taking place.
A large number of people in tears and officials of the kingdom.
And Johannes Graeberg and Ariez.
Summoned there and no sign of the brave men.
"Albert... he was a friend. He supported this country for a long time. But I couldn't repay Albert one thing..."
King Johannes speaks to the people.
"Whoever killed Albert is an organization that calls itself the heart of a dragon! The rest of us weren't going to tell this story initially. In Albert's honor, he decided the truth would lie low. But I realized it was a mistake. Because they suffer like the rest!
Many of the people looked up to Johannes in tears.
"Remember, the name of those who killed all your friends! The name of the one who hates this country! And the rest I swear here! Make sure you get the dragon's heart!... ripping apart those who killed Albert!
It's not what the king says.
But that is why it appeared to the people that the king's figure was true.
At the end of the funeral, it was Johannes who lit Albert's body by purposefully naming him.
Burning flames will empower that word, which called Albert a “friend," and Johannes will gain even greater support.
But this is not what started right now.
"It's Albert Morrow, the forest wizard! Be Grayberg here!
The school's practice area is mediocre soil and sand.
But there was an idyllic landscape surrounded by grass and flowers.
Peace likely to hear even the little bird chirp. The students gathered there found out about the obituary. That word of Ariez was hard for the students to believe.
"Albert is dead"
The students' expressions gradually collapsed and turned into confusion.
"Why, Mr. Albert..."
Saab questions with an interrupting voice.
"There is an organization called the heart of a dragon. They are bandits, so to speak, aimed at the country, such as nobles and politicians. The other day, they showed up near the border. Albert felt disturbing magic and rushed right away... but he was no match for it."
From time to time, Albert used to give magic classes to the braves when visiting the school.
A grandfather who teaches magic gently.
That's where Albert is for the students.
The slight grin and the voice heard from the “ho ho ho ho" moustache made the students understand their attachment.
"I was deeply troubled whether I should tell this story. But I want you to inherit Albert's will."
"Will, is it?
It was Saab's voice.
"Yes, it means killing the Demon Clan, the Demon King! Defeat the Demon King and bring peace to the world. That's Albert's will. Greyberg's peace and tranquillity, and Albert's will to think of you."
Ariez said that in tears. Some of the students cried.
"Please"
Saab grabbed his fist quietly in Ariez's words.
Silence flowed there for a while after Ariez left the practice area.
However, as soon as the students tightened their expressions, they began training.
No one among them doubted the tears of Alice.
Except for one.
As each began practicing magic on the ground and training swords and spears, one person, one strip, looked up in the shade and into the sky.
"One! You, you weren't listening to Mr. Ariez!
Saab yelled at one article in a way that he didn't like it.
"What, Saab... No, I was listening. It would be free time now. So I thought I'd let you use this time as much as you want. It's important to rest, isn't it?
(i) Article had powerless eyes.
And I embellished Saab as usual.
Then Saab's yelling stopped, and there flowed the silence of the two staring at each other.
This was the routine for the two of us.
There had been some changes in one article.
That's Mashima and Kihara first.
They were initially relieved to be beside one article.
But right now, there's no one next to a single article.
They walked away from one article and chose Saab next.
So when Saab moves, they follow me late.
Mashima and Kihara, who showed up beside him, said nothing, just next to Saab.
One glanced up at the sky again for a moment so as not to be interested, even as he turned his gaze toward them.
"Saab, this is how you're gonna come at me for something, isn't it? That's when I think. I was wondering if Hitachi felt this way..."
"Oh, my God, you still say that. You have cancer! We're alive! I'm not talking about dead people!
"Then that woman is guilty of the same crime. She came here to talk about the dead."
"Oh, my God, who is that woman?... You mean Mr. Ariez!
"Who else is there?
In Saab's eyes, staring at a piece, he was even murderous.
"Saab, you have a bad mouth, face, and bare hands, but you are pure. That's why I don't see it."
"... Huh?
"It's about that woman. There's got to be something behind it."
"Say no more! -"
"Saab, why do you have her shoulder so far?... Think about it. What's happened to you since she showed up here and told you about that old man's death? Definitely would have been more motivated than before. Hey, Saab, people are dead, right? That, too, was the great wise man who served the country for decades. And now you're full of motivation."
One strip smiled thinly.
"You don't think it's weird? I can't think of a situation when I show up, but the soldiers were murdered by the demons again. But I always go in from dark stories, and then I leave with all the convenience of saying how the will is and believing in us. Then the majority of the boys start special training in a non-challenging way. Brainwashing. You just didn't think a girl could do it, and when you realized it, there was an old man in and out who just laughed like he was in love all the time. When the old man dies, this time it's the end of provoking him to be hostile. It's all in that woman's scenario. There's no good intentions."
"What's the matter, Saab, another fight with one article?
I could see Butler, wondering how the two of them were doing there.
"No, Doctor. I was just talking about our future. We need to be stronger for Greyberg."
"Right. I'm counting on you, Saab."
"Yes!"
This was Saab now.
Butler was called by another student and has gone somewhere again.
When Saab glanced back again, there was a glimpse of a shoulder trembling and laughing.
"Saab... hey, I even remember nausea for you right now. I was still more serious before."
In the expression and words of the article, Saab opened his eyes to tremble in anger.
But you put up with it just before, and later you heard a deep sigh.
"I don't know what you think. I don't snitch on you. You're strong. It's necessary for this country."
"How far does that loyalty include your will?
"Hey, come on!
Mashima yelled at me, who had been irritated by a single word from earlier.
"I'm sick of your novels already!
"It was cool before, but now I don't know... it's not cool, is it one?
Kihara added in a slightly ridiculous manner.
"That's because it's a pit where you two can only see things on the upper side. Same old."
"Ha!? Say it again!"
- "Explosion"
Shortly afterwards, a huge explosion broke out over the sky, blowing winds strong enough for the nearby trees to shake.
The students and Butler were blinded, and when the blast erased Mashima's utterance, there was later an article that glanced at Mashima.
Mashima is afraid of too much force and her expression doesn't have any convulsive words.
"You two are always someone's goldfish hun. If I can't, Saab, then who's next when Saab can't? After all, it's a repeat. If you were hiding behind someone and hitchhiking, wouldn't you have been afraid to say anything? If they were Hitachi, not me, you'd be making them curse until they got tired of it."
Saab pulled the two stiff hands and kept them away from one article.
"You're not using magic as a threat tool, you coward."
"I have trouble being spoken to by your servants. Besides, I just had a little moxibustion."
Saab glanced closer at one of those chilling attitudes.
"... think about which one is wrong"
And when I whispered so, I took the two of them away from the spot.
The one left alone sighs, leaning against the tree again. And I closed my eyes.
(Why... have we all forgotten? There can't be any compassion for that woman in the first place. She had that look on her face when she flew Hitachi. He laughs with an ugly face from the bottom of his heart when he falls into a person. Everyone must have seen that, not just me. Yet......)
I didn't know the one. I was haunted by the feeling that I was the only one who was sane.
(We're leftovers. If I'm judged incompetent, I'll be flown like Hitachi. No, they could kill me next. Why doesn't anyone notice...)
- Must... come and kill me, huh? You guys, all of you......
At that time, the last words of the political ministry came to pass in the back of an article.
One strip grinned thinly with his eyes closed, and when he opened one, he blocked the sun with his hands, laughing again small.
"When are you coming to kill me? Hitachi......"
One asked quietly as he looked up at the blue sky.
