"It's been a long time since."

Nyu-Dee was sitting down next to Faria. On the rooftop, for some reason, there were a number of benches available, even a large table. It may be an element to colour the lives of the people of Fort Waydrid, but it did not seem like a landscape to a military base.

Nevertheless, it was just the right space at times like this.

On winter nights, clear cold air passes through as if it freezes your breath.

"Yet Lyohan hasn't changed anything. The organization that culminates in the Great Faria remains unchanged. Everyone thinks it can't change. Even the Mountain Defense Council people don't really think they can be replaced by the goddess of war. And you're trying to pull Big Faria's leg, so you're in trouble."

"... what are you talking about"

Faria couldn't keep up with Nyu's topic without a thump. I didn't even feel like following you, maybe I should. There's nothing I can do about being told about Lyohan's political situation by Faria right now. Now, Faria and Lyohan should have no contact whatsoever.

Nyu looked at this one after putting it between plenty. Gray hair with moonlight shakes quietly. When she opened her mouth, a surprising word was uttered.

"Faria, aren't you coming back to Lyohan?

"To Lyohan...... back?

I crush it like a rumble and then realize the shock of what she said. Faria opened her eyes and stared into Nyu's eyes. A sincere knob of brown eyes stabs Faria.

"When this battle is over."

She went ahead and went on.

"When this battle is over, naturally, we will return to Lyohan. Have Quor throw up blood."

I wonder how Nyu-Dee and the other four great heavenly samurai and Farya-Baldish came to the land from Lyohan within the Vashtarian sphere of power, she is right. With Ravensfeather's ability to super accelerate and fly, it just means he's traveled super long distances in just a few days. Quor's usual means of mobility, but no way he would have thought it would be used as a means of mobility for more than one person either.

"Quor is tough too..."

"I'm still asleep, him. Next time I see you, Faria will give you one of your hugs. Because then he thinks he's worth dying for, too."

"Why?"

"No way, Faria..."

Nyu gave me a stunned look for some reason, but I couldn't understand the meaning of her reaction to Faria, making her look suspicious. I wonder how it relates to me and Quor.

"No, fine. That's not what I'm saying."

"Yes?"

"Regardless of your encouragement for Quor, I wonder what it is then that you and I go home together. Grand Faria would be delighted."

When Nyu uttered his name in words, Faria remembered the unspeakable tension. I knew it, but I ask.

"Grandmother... no, the Great Summoner, too, to Waydrid?

"Absolutely. Haven't we met yet?

"Yes."

"Why not? Dear Great Faria, I thought you were looking forward to seeing Faria."

Nyu looked strange. After all, I guess Nyu doesn't understand the thoughts that swirl deep into Faria's heart, or maybe in her, Faria and the Great Faria are only perceptions of a close family.

If you're a close family, you just say you'll be facing each other for a while, and you don't need any special feelings or anything.

But Faria thinks. Maybe I don't want to be reunited with the Great Faria. Maybe he's afraid of the face to face.

If I meet my grandmother, everything will be seen through. Even the emotions that are closed in the depths of my heart are discerned and made into words. That could overflow what Faria is desperately suppressing.

If the embankment breaks, it's not something I know what will happen.

It was nothing but fear.

"... scared"

Faria leaked her heart out because the other guy is a nun. I forgive Nyu-Dee for my heart. It was just one person for Faria without her brothers, someone she could think of as her sister.

"Scared?"

"… I should have kept the words of the Great Summoner in the end. We should have stayed in Lyohan, trained and honed our skills as armed summoners. I was imprisoned for taking revenge on my father, and I jumped out of Lyohan, and I couldn't do anything. Listen, you're here, right?

"Yes."

"I ignored Lyohan's command and pulled my bow upon Azmaria. But if that's all, I still can't do anything when Azmaria looks like my mother."

The moment I witnessed Azmaria-Altemax, my emotions instantly exceeded the boiling point. The burning thoughts became angry and willing to kill. I never hesitated to attack. Yet when I saw my unchanging mother, I made a sound and broke my heart.

Sometimes I still remember that moment. And my heart shook. to my weakness. to your own brittleness.

"Isn't that normal?

Nyu's eyes are calm. Without being so gentle as to be gentle, the sound of enveloping has not changed one thing from time immemorial.

"I know you were coming with a strong resolve. I tried to discuss Azmaria until I ignored Quor's advice. I can even imagine how much thought you were. But that's why I can't believe you took Miriam's life without any sin. I don't think Quor or I can do it, and I don't think Grand Faria can do it."

"But... if you don't, you can't take my father's revenge. You can't save my mother, can you? I tried to fulfill both of them. I got a good chance to make it happen. Finally...... finally. Yet."

Faria looked up into the sky as she turned away from Nyu's eyes. Beyond the white-dyed breath, the stars are blinking innumerably. It was a bright starry sky. I was so vivid that my mind was about to suck in.

"... Again and again, I stand against revenge. Azmaria must be discussed. But it must not be retaliation for assaulting Lyohan. If it's not revenge for killing Merrick, it's reward for taking away Miriam."

"As the will of Lyohan..."

"That sort of thing. You know exactly what I mean."

"My grandmother told me so."

Huh, it reminds me of the majestic and merciful voice of Faria-Valdish.

"That can be called being my mentor and ancestral summoner, yet hostile to everything that lives and lives in this world. Live, eat death. What desires to be imprisoned in a vessel of flesh while being a free soul. Being itself is supposed to be contradictory, but that, it continues to exist in this world. Discussing it - that's my mission, Lyohan's role in the world. '

That is why it must not be revenge. However, as Lyohan's will, we cannot allow Azmaria-Altemax to exist. It was a crusade mission as a statement of determination to do so, and it was also a challenge to Azmaria.

"I, nevertheless, cannot forgive Azmaria for taking my father and mother"

The sight of ten years ago is burning to the retina. The death of my father and the disappearance of my mother. The shock and loss of both parents at the same time knocked her off to the bottom of despair. The only way to crawl up and find the light is to defeat Azmaria - so I should have lived to this day.

And, thinking that far, Faria wondered.

(Despair...... light......)

I wonder how I can see the light when I've lost it.

It's a strange thing, and it seems like an impossible thing. But she does sometimes remember the feeling that she is surrounded by soft light.

Feel at peace.

Just because you're in the same space as that boy, it reassures your mind.

"That's why I went. Don't do that."

Nyu sighed with a groan on his shoulder. She was one of the few people who vehemently opposed Faria's participation in the crusade mission.

"But now I think it's good to have popped up at that time."

"Oh well."

"Yes, if I had stayed in Lyohan, I would certainly not be here"

Without meeting Setuna, there was nothing like saving his life and diving through the dead line with him. I wouldn't have bothered if I had punched into training, but I might not have felt happy either.

"You're happy to be here, Faria."

"... I'm sure you are"

"Yes. Then you can't possibly take me back to Lyohan. Too bad."

"Shame?

"Because without you, Faria, I miss you"

Nyu seemed a little lit up, but seemed heartily lonely.

It was about the dazzling night of the moon.
