At the end of a metastasis that fell into a rift in dimension.

"Thank you, Master Tallow"

The look on the princess's face as she stopped crying and narrowed her red eyes was one she had never seen before.

I thought it was a very soft, age-appropriate, adorable laugh.

"... are you okay?

"Yeah, I'm fine now"

"... about one of my complaints, I don't think I'm going to hit a bee,"

"Heh heh, it's really okay"

She laughs when she dulls, saying it's okay. I worry if I can believe that word, but it would also be rude to care too much.

I can't respond to her. It would be a harsh act against her to care forever even though she can't respond.

When she leaves me, she fixes her standing.

"So, Master Tallow. With a breath disaster."

"Thank you. How are you?"

I don't know why, but today, this day, for the first time now, I think I've seen 'her' properly.

Her words, I don't care about anything, I can hear them. He said he was really right. So naturally, this one wished her well, too.

"Yes, one thing, I came up with Wagamama, so could you listen to me? If you don't like it, you can say no."

Second, she went as if she remembered something. She says to me all the time, but for some reason I didn't feel bad about it.

That's all, I was wary of the words she utters, and it's weird.

"What is it?

As a matter of course, I thought I was showing the lack of disgust in hearing its contents.

"If you don't mind, could you talk to the people you're close to?

Just like someone close to you. I mean, just like Inai and Cigal.

No, I'm sure this is like talking to Garabaugh or Mr. Mirka.

"Okay. If that's okay with you."

When I answer that, she laughs with great pleasure. Really, look happy. I smiled just saying this was what I wanted.

"Thank you. Hehe, is this your reward day for all your hard work so far?

It's not a smile like the first time we met, or as a princess. There she is, still vegan.

If I had met my current girlfriend from the beginning, there could have been another different form. But it could be.

I'm sure I can't have more feelings for her than fraternity.

"Well, it's time to go."

"Yes. Again... one day"

"Yeah, again, someday"

She says what she wants to see again, and I answer that, too. Someday I'll see you again with my friends.

Leave the room and leave the castle behind. I didn't go back to the castle for her, even as I went out and showed her I couldn't move out of that room.

I can't respond to her.

"I'm light today anyway, and I guess I'll go say hello to the union"

I think I'm headed to the union. When I went inside, my gaze hurt as usual. I'm alone today, so I was wondering if we'd get together again, and the people I know would stop at me.

It's the escort work that inspired me to come to this town, the people I was escorting with. But Mr. Ferrene isn't here. I think I was working with that sister, those people.

Let's say hello. If you know anything about Mr. Ferrene, I'd like to say hello to him, too.

"Hello, long time no see"

"Oh, Ta, Mr. Tallow!

You didn't think you could talk to them, panicking them.

"Oh, you remembered us."

"Yeah, I remember you."

It hasn't been that long since, and I remember.

"It's time to leave this city, so when I saw you, I thought I'd say hello."

"Oh, really? Thank you for taking the time. Be careful... don't you need it?"

They laugh and say ahahaha. No, well, I appreciate you saying that.

You don't know what's in the world.

"Um, I'd also like to say hello to Mr. Ferrene, if you can, but are you in this city now?

When they hear about Mr. Ferrene, their expressions solidify, uniformly.

I wonder what it is. Did you even say goodbye to a fight or something?

He's in this city.

Hard to say, one opens his mouth.

"What do you have?

As far as I remember seeing them and her response before, I can only assume that this reaction was something.

I don't remember having such a hard look and having a conversation.

"... right, there was. If I can help her, I'll show you."

Between them and them, it seems certain that something happened. But there didn't seem to be enough to see you.

Then you suggested it because of me, and let's get on with it.

"If you like, please"

"... okay"

One of them, the oldest looking boy, buys my guide and comes out.

I rated him a boy, but maybe an inch below me. Taller than me, though.

Leaving the union and following him, he gradually heads out of the center of the city.

Something's missing you a little bit. I feel more plants than buildings. There's also a little woodland.

Quiet atmosphere. Oh, I wonder if it feels like I like this place and live there.

With that in mind, he stopped where there was absolutely no home.

I look at it and breathe unexpectedly.

Before he stops, no matter what you think, because it's not where people live. Because it's not where people live.

No, but I haven't, maybe I'm doing the administration here.

I ask him, thinking that I don't really think about it at all.

"Here, ha"

I was going to ask normally, but my voice didn't come out well and it was jammed.

"Here, ahead, she is"

He guided me into the premises. I'm going inside.

I follow him with confusion. In a certain place, he stops, he kneels.

Little, in front of the grave marker, kneeling, on.

"Mr. Ferrene, Mr. Tallow wants to say hello to you about leaving the city, and he's been showing you around."

Head to the grave marker, he says. Yeah, I already know. Definitely.

I'm here. She's here, in here, in here.

"... Ferrene, is, when"

When did she lose her life? I wonder why he died.

"The other day, in the battle to protect the king's capital, shelter us, dragons."

Reluctantly, he says remorsefully. The hand is gripped hard.

I had heard that a disturbance on the Wang Du side had resulted in several deaths. Given the scale, I heard it was a miraculously low death toll.

But there were definitely dead people. It was definitely out there. And she, one of them.

"Seriously, Kai."

I didn't get that close. That's about what I talked about there a lot during that escort. It was only a relationship between those escorts.

But still. I know that guy somewhat. He was a pretty good guy. He was like taking care of people. She was a nice woman, who would see it as a hassle, but she would join us.

"Mine, it's my fault."

Hearing that word out in his mouth, he turns his gaze this way.

"That's too much to think about. Mr. Tallow was fighting away from home."

That's what he tells me. But no. No, it's not. More first. More simply. I have the beginning of the event.

"-"

I can't stay. Her death, if it hadn't happened, would not have happened.

No, that's not all. Now that I'm calm, there's something I can do. I can think.

At that time, after cleaning up the dragon, I had the option of returning immediately to the King's Capital. If I had made that choice, I might not have had this ending.

Yeah. Maybe, yeah. This, too, can't happen anymore. I can't start over.

Kneel at the grave marker and bow your head. I don't have a god to pray to, so I'm not praying to God. But still, I wanted to pray.

I don't even know what to pray for. But to something, I wanted to pray for something.

"Thank you, Mr. Tallow."

After a while, he told me to get down on my knees and not move.

I don't remember doing anything to thank you.

"I think she can sleep in peace, too, to be prayed for by a hero"

Look at the grave marker, he looks sad, he looks lonely, he tells me.

Hero. I'm not that big of a deal. A hero is not a gala. That's a free eight, too.

So.

"I'm sorry to her and to you, but I just, as a person, as her acquaintance, want to pray"

It's my fault. Yeah, I really, really am.

But for my sake, he responds with pleasure.

"Rather, I think you'll be happy. That's better."

Oh, my God, he said it with a laugh.

I didn't quite understand the scars on that case yet.

It wasn't just that city. The wounds were also engraved on the Wang capital.
