"Quit school? What do you mean?"

The brave men who were on the spot were bewildered by Saab's words.

The thunderstorms, which can be heard even in the classroom, illuminate as if they were bad news.

- Saab leaves school.

One was brought to the wall beside the entrance, grinning at Saab's words.

Changes in Saab's mood, or growth. Maybe I saw those things.

"I'm going to Greyberg. So I go for the Holy Knight. So today, I'm leaving school right after this..."

Saab turned away and spoke an uninterrupted word.

"Greyberg?... What happened to heretical interrogation?

Hanoi asked on his behalf.

Everyone was waiting to hear it.

"Gardenia, you were right. Nito is not guilty."

Saab replied pale, not to be sorry.

"Yeah......"

Kenshiro Gardena.

Recently, he's the man who came out of the library.

I've been in the library ever since I was in Grayberg.

I've been in the library ever since I came to Fishanatica.

I've been with someone occasionally, but lately I've seen a lot of places with everyone.

And now as I read the book, I answer Saab's words.

And such a garden, but before the heretical inquisition, all of a sudden, he said to Saab, "The result is not guilty." That's what he said.

Normally, Saab didn't pursue it deeply against what Gardenia, who doesn't talk much about, but he was heartily surprised that it did now.

"Not guilty?... Why? ……

It's not just Hanoi.

Everyone got dissatisfied there.

Except for one article.

"As it stands, he can't be killed by humans. That's what the Kings decided. I heard it was better not to kill and monitor than that."

"You think it's the best? You're telling me it's best not to kill him?

Iida is not satisfied with the verdict.

"Iida, so do I. But what? I don't know either. That's what I said. That's crazy... that's what I said. As a reference person, she said she wanted to talk to me and explained it to me, but she didn't listen to me. What those guys were listening to was an old man like Brahms... they couldn't get it fitted. In the first place, I was just a student, and being called to a meeting was a funny story in the first place. And today's result... that was what the king decided. Then you have to convince me, right? ……

Saab is not convinced. But I understood.

Saab is not an idiot.

I know exactly what Arthur said.

But my heart wasn't calm enough to explain it.

"So... what does it mean to be a holy knight?

In response to Mashima's inquiry, Sabu once thought about how he would respond.

Then Saab smiled thinly for some reason.

It's not directed at the students on the spot, it's a laugh at yourself.

Saab was scared of herself.

And rather than answer questions, I try to answer the questions that underlie everyone.

"Right...... I should have noticed a little earlier. We need to be united or we won't survive."

Some were bewildered by Saab's phrase "leaving the college".

As things stand, Saab was an important part of this group.

Saab was the first to protect the brave men when the Demons raided the venue.

Some were saved with it.

"Four years. I will be a holy knight in four years. You guys are 4 years old, be stronger than you are now. And gain the strength to live on our own."

"Saab... Could I still have Ariez..."

Yes, it was Hiragi who asked terribly.

But we've all noticed how Saab is doing before.

"I can't say anything right now... I don't know what's gonna happen to me either"

Saab doesn't know the truth about his condition.

That's why I can't answer that question.

But some of the brave men were forgiving to Saab.

Some turned their gaze rather like they had reviewed.

"Saab, once you've made up your mind, let's get it through to the end, shall we?

That's what Iida says with a smile.

"Oh......"

Saab said so in a glowing manner.

"When I woke up, I said so, but the status quo... that's my answer"

Even now that Saab has been advised by Arthur, he still thinks of Ariez.

Going to Greyberg, that's the majority of the reason.

I intend to inherit the will of Alice.

"Saab, I'm coming too."

Then all of a sudden, Kida tells me she's going to follow you.

"No... I'm the only one who's going. Kida, don't imitate me like you're after me anymore. Live your life, too. Make your own choices."

Kida won't say anything back to Saab.

I didn't think Kida would say no.

So unexpectedly, I lost my word there.

"But Saab... what are we supposed to do? We're not as strong as the world thinks we are, are we? When Sabu-kun is gone, we..."

Long division Haruhiko.

He was anxious for Saab to leave.

Jessica holding Haruhiko's hand tightly next door.

The two were in a lover relationship.

"... you're gonna be an adventurer, aren't you?

Then Saab, in response to Haruhiko's inquiry, saw the faces of everyone who would be left there.

And so I asked.

Haruhiko isn't the only one trying to retain Sabu.

Everyone here had similar anxieties.

Koizumi and the others will be gone, and Saab will be gone next.

Aren't we all going to be gone one day and only ourselves left at the end of the day?

I had that anxiety.

"Whatever happens to us, it's a relationship we can't separate anymore. That's what I have. Maybe we're corrupt, but we're buddies. So I'll tell you guys what I want to say right before I go..."

Then Saab spewed out the words he had put in.

"No more chasing the shadows of Hitachi. He's dead."

Saab noticed.

"I was just in good shape then. Now I know. The people in this world are brutal and do not hesitate to kill people. I probably still hesitate. But I have to get used to it. Don't be a saint knight...... Neither do you guys, you have to get used to it. So not if you're chasing the shadow of a dead companion."

"" Companions "? …"

At that time, Hanoi was uncomfortable with Sabu's words, and he was stunned.

"Yes... Nikko is one of us. And... I killed him."

Everyone listened quietly to Saab's words.

I didn't think those words would come out of Saab's mouth.

"But after all, incompetence kills. That's the world here. We're not gonna be like this, either, maybe someday. But I'm not going to do that in silence. Neither do you guys, you don't want a life where you get killed in silence, do you? Hitachi is dead, so we can't save him anymore. Then live till he gets his share. It was Alice who killed him. And that's when I wanted it. And you guys didn't stop. Different degrees, but at least some of us are guilty, aren't we? Then live... be strong to live. For myself... and for the height of the sun..."

Then Saab finally checked each face.

And bid farewell to the leaning Kida.

"You took care of me, Kida. Please guys...... yes, I'll do this!

Then Saab threw the robe Oswald had given him to Kida earlier.

"Sorting. You protect everyone... Kida"

"Saab..."

"You too...... one day you'll notice. You mean you and I were the worst? I still can't feel guilty about Nikko, even if I say so. That's who I am. But still, one day, you'll notice.... then everyone, support Kida."

Saab smiled and said so.

It's a trick.

I know I'm not the one who can say that.

"It got wet, but so did Koizumi. They must be alive somewhere, too. Probably had an idea of who they were. They're trying to live their lives, too. Then why don't we take an apprenticeship?

And Saab walks to the entrance.

"Bye...... guys"

Then he stopped in front of the door.

"One..."

"Hmm?"

"I'm not forgiving you..."

"... oh"

"But you're one of them. Apparently, I'm crazy. I don't get it, do I?

……

"But assuming I'm crazy and that's something that's going to heal, the next time I see you, I should be able to laugh and celebrate the reunion. Until then, we'll be safe with each other. Up to the height of the sun?

"Heh... you've changed. But... right. Let's live."

Saab and Article smiled at each other for a moment, then Saab left the classroom.

Saab hurries to Arthur's waiting carriage.

He ran down the hallway and watched the last Fishanatica.

Then at the end of the hallway, I saw Joanna and Davitt.

"Are you going? Saab?"

Davit asks lightly as ever.

"Oh......"

"If it's your decision, I won't say anything."

Joanna was sparing her goodbyes.

That's what it said on my face.

I miss you.

"I took care of a lot of things. Thanks to you guys, I could learn magic. So I appreciate it."

"When Saab tells me, I still feel itchy"

"Saab doesn't thank us very much..."

"Huh... thanks? Thanks to the two of you. Being in a school match or having me now... I was just using it at first. But now, I think he's my best friend. I've never been able to do this before in this world. He's my best friend..."

Then Joanna turned away from Saab and turned around to hide her face.

"What's going on, Joanna? Could he be crying?

Then Davitt was amused at how it was going.

"I'm not crying! Don't be silly!

Then Saab was smiling gently at the way the two of them looked.

"We both... took care of you"

And Saab passes between them.

Davitt and Joanna were staring at that back.

Davitt seems lonely somewhere.

Joanna was blushing her eyes.

……

And after a while, I lost sight of Saab.

Then Saab left his companions and, with King Arthur, traveled to Greyberg.

To live my life.

To accomplish my purpose...

――――

"Then it's time for me to go, too."

That's what I said when I changed one article to another.

"What are you doing right now? What happened that day?

Hanoi asks.

"I left Grayberg that day from myself. To find Hitachi. I thought I told some students that...... West Castle? Didn't you tell everyone?

"It's... I didn't say it"

"... right"

But there was no one to blame for the West Castle.

Aside from West Castle, there were several people who were invited by one article to look for Hitachi.

That's why no one answers.

"So, what are you doing now? Are you still looking for Hitachi?

Asked by Hiragi.

"Oh. I'm still looking for you as you travel. But I haven't found it yet. I also needed to focus on that. Now, while traveling occasionally, I work for someone who can teach me magic."

"So... so much..."

Kamii looked intrigued.

Remembering the appearance of a single article on the battlefield.

"So you could be that strong, huh? What kind of person is that? Sure, I'd like you to tell me too?

Then one article shut up.

“It's taught in the heart of a dragon," etc., there's no reason to say.

"I was able to be strong mainly because I'm a 'brave man'. It's the power of grace. It's the fruit of my training, mostly because I'm a brave man. So maybe if Kamii noticed his style too, he could be strong?

"Oh, really..."

The conversation does not continue as thunder and rain sounds echo.

Kamii asked out of curiosity, wanting to teach him the magic so warmly, but he refused.

"Right...... not Saab, but I'll be strong again in the four years before everyone graduates from this school, too. Then I also find Hitachi. So we all don't care and we want you to concentrate on your magic training, because we'll be back in four years."

Then one article wore a hood.

And open the door.

"Yes, I'll tell you all about Koizumi when I see him."

And one of them left the classroom at ease.

――――

And we proceeded down the hallway, and after a while,

"One!

I hear voices.

When the one swung, there was a bird figure there.

"West Castle? What's going on?

I wonder how hurried I was.

The little bird was out of breath.

Then he breathed, and where he calmed down, the little bird asked.

"You know Nito, don't you?

"Oh, yeah, but?... What's going on? Can I help you, Mr. Nito? Then you better hurry. I think I'm about to leave the college."

"Huh?... why..."

The little bird lost his word.

Why would a political sect go without saying anything to himself?

The question came to my mind vaguely.

"In this case, they're leaving the college. So they're leaving college today."

The political ministry had chosen, in advance, today as the day of departure.

Even if he did not leave school, the political ministry was still, from the beginning, going to leave.

Then the little bird ignored a strip, and suddenly, ran out.

That look says, "West Castle?" Surprisingly, a confusing article.

But the little bird ran blind.

――――

"Ha... ha..."

The little bird then flew out of Fishanatica, passing the venue in heavy rain, and headed to Heirkwestern.

――――

"Ha... ha... ha..."

In front of the main entrance of High Kuwait.

"Ha... ha..."

As the rain struck, the little bird dropped off the back of a giant carriage, soaking wet.

He was a little bird who shouldn't have known there was a political sect on there or anything, but for some reason the little bird was staring at the back of that carriage.

Breathe out, shaking your shoulders......

"Ha... ha..."

Carriage moving away.

"Majong-kun... why? ……

But the bird's thoughts, they don't arrive.

In the carriage to Darms-Aldan...

There's Francesca and Dory in the seat across the street for some reason.

Instead, he doesn't look like Schneizel.

Francesca, who learned that Schneizel was taking Nito to Darmsaldan, relied on that scoop and just made contact with Schneizel.

This is the result.

But Nito said, "I'll take care of the interview later," and now he's not in the mood.

He looked depressed, staring out the window.

"Was it good?

Then Toa asks abruptly.

"What?

"Mr. Little Bird... is that it? It's childhood friendly, isn't it?

"... right"

"Are you glad I didn't see you last? You keep your identity hidden, don't you?

"... right"

What does Nito think and think now?

"Nito, is that all right?

"... Toa"

"Hmm?"

"You're the only ones on my side..."

Looking at the window, Nito answers that.

The voice doesn't have any power.

"I don't need those guys anymore..."

"Because it's revenge?

……

"Because you betrayed Nito? So you don't need those people?

But even if you ask me that, it's hard to answer.

Nito's spirit was in such a state that it was now somehow linked to this rain.

"... I don't know"

"Maybe... you kill him? ……

"... I don't know... I don't know"

……

"But... I wish I was happy."

"Huh? Happiness?

"Oh...... you just have to be happy. Better than me... you just have to be happy. That'll do me good."

"It's gonna be good for Nito?... What do you mean? Did you forgive those people?

"Pfft... forgive me... I don't know..."

It's like Nito is unwilling to answer a question.

But I don't think I'm lost in that mind.

……

Toa just had to shut up about Nito's condition.

Toa, I want to know about you.

"Huh?"

To Nito, who speaks so abruptly, confused Toa.

"I want to know about Toa. More, what I don't know..."

……

"So from now on, be more like talking to Nem or Suphilia. Then if you have any problems, tell me immediately."

That being said, Toa doesn't know what it's about.

Toa thinks he should have done so before.

But Nito said so with his sinking eyes, staring out the window.

"Yeah...... ok"

Toa shrugged so with a smile as she stared at the side of such a nit.
