"Oh, you guys, why...?

Setuna rubbed her voice up because it was three people, Ruufa, Esq and Erina, who showed up from a space that was supposed to be nothing, just like Midgard.

Anyway, Ruufa, who secretly had the art of visiting the island and actually peeking into his face from time to time, was disengaged and Esq and Elina, who were supposed to have returned to a peaceful routine, appeared in front of him. It was just an unexpected event for Setuna, too, and I was just a little confused.

"Why, well, it's up to you because you wanted to meet the captain."

Ruufa said, not looking bad. His appearance, dressed in a courtesy garment that did not resemble the atmosphere of this occasion, was nevertheless your son himself, and it seemed reminiscent that he was a person of the prestigious Balghazar family in Gandia.

Most of all, it was nothing unusual or unusual to see his face, so something like sentimental came to a boil.

Surprise is due to two beings other than him, not Ruufa.

"If you're free, why don't you come and take a peek?

"I'm not free. You only have about the time with Emil when you're very busy every day and at peace of mind, right?

"Instead, you come here quite often."

"Frequently... maybe once a month"

Even if Ruufa disagreed with Faria, it was not at all.

About once a month, he said. but that's just a sensory thing to say, if you average it, maybe that's it. In many cases, they visit the island at intervals of about once a week to collude and deepen rapport with the Setunas.

Of course, that doesn't make me feel bad for the Setunas either.

The fact that he still cares about Setuna and the others shows up every step of the way.

His presence is filling the loneliness of Setuna and the others.

"That's too much! You'd think so, Elina."

Miliu may be outraged and ask for Erina's consent.

"Yes! It's very sloppy!

"Not at all. I don't care how many former deputy captains, they're too sloppy."

And when Esq glanced sideways at Ruufa dissatisfied, Ruufa glanced over her shoulder like she was in trouble. When Elina and Esq say that to me, who have endured days I can't even miss her, I guess I have no words to give back.

"Well, let's just say we'll talk about that later. Now, how about they indulge in reunion?

"Yes, yes, Mr. Midgard is right! Two years after that! Two years! I was finally able to reunite with my thoughts, so let's not have any grudges against me!

Ruufa waves the hot valve, making sure to stick with Midgard's helpship disappointingly.

"... you can't have no grudges, but, well, yeah"

"Let's go without it."

"I could see how Master Setsuna was doing the same way. Let's do it now."

"You've changed a lot. Esq."

"Isn't it?

Esque-Soma laughed all the time saying Setuna's reaction was as expected.

His unchanged appearance is not the only exterior thing. There have been no major changes in the human patterns surrounding Setuna, and the sights of the past are playing out as usual.

Neither Miliu, who is hugging Setuna's arm, Ragna, who is trying to put her chin on Setuna's shoulder, Sheila, who is looking at the two of them with some envy, nor Faria standing next to her, nor Lem, who has a full grin, nor Urk's appearance that looks faceless, nor Eryl Alum, who is a little away from her alone, has changed anything since then.

Three years after the war.

Two years after returning.

No matter how much time passes, here's a landscape that won't change.

Esq, on the other hand, had changed dramatically, both externally and atmospherically.

First of all, he had a long hair cut off and neat, shaved his beard and wore a refreshing atmosphere. The garment you are wearing contains the crest of the Zaion Empire, as if its well-groomed outfit is transforming the air drifting around him into something unusual.

I can't even feel the dust on the esque.

It seems as if the former Esq-Soma has disappeared and lost it, turning it into someone else altogether.

He is now serving the Zaion Empire, so it was only natural for him to care about himself.

"Sounds like someone else."

"Looks like it's not an esc"

"Isn't it someone else?

"Might"

"So let's see if it's real?

"That's good."

"Is that what you want!?

When the women talk to each other, Esq speaks out of his frenzy. And because it was what he had sent his gaze to Setuna to ask for help, he told him, quietly.

"Well, that's your fault."

"Me!?

"You've changed too much."

That said, the only way to live in this unusual world was to say that his change was rather right.

"No, no, it's too different, you guys..."

The bitterly laughing but somewhere enjoyable Esq's reaction would prove that he is sincerely happy with this air at this moment.

"That's right. Why hasn't it changed so much?"

While agreeing with Esq, it was Elina who raised her pleasant voice rather than dissatisfaction.

Her change was not the ratio of esc.

Esq is only as familiar as he gets, and his outfit doesn't make any difference. As always, the flesh that continues to be trained wasn't any less pale than it was back then, so when it comes to difference, it's just the look and the atmosphere.

In that regard, Elina is different.

She was growing from a girl to an adult woman and even looked radiant.

She turns twenty this year.

Regardless of common sense in this world, Setsuna's feeling is that she will be of age to be called an adult. In fact, Elina had evolved into a woman who was much more adult than she was two years ago, combined with pity and beauty, and yet even a sense of cleanliness.

"Amchi, Amchi, Amchi, Amchi"

Three people looked suspicious in the words Miliu confidently told: Elina, Ruufa and Esq.

"What is it, it"

"You don't have to know. I'll tell Elina plenty later."

"Sasasu, Master! Elina, I'll follow you for the rest of my life!

Unsympathetically to Ruufa, but Miliu's reaction, which does not hide his love for Erina, can only be said to be the way it always is when it comes to the way it is.

"... you wouldn't need that for Elina"

"Well, that's good."

Ahead Falia looked smiling, Miliu, who left Setuna's side, was embracing Elina.

My first reunion with my beloved disciple in two years must have been an honest pleasure for Miliu as well.
