"Dorothy, did you hear that? I hear Aria's done something to you again."
"Of course I'm asking. Mr. and Mrs. Iris left a message. Let's try."
"... you're positive"
Shortly after Aria told me about the dragon.
It was Richter who came to speak of stupidity to Dorothy, but he heard so positive a word that even his mind could disappear.
Let's do our best - he's thrown at me, and I can say no. It's not Richt.
"I've never had the experience of fighting dragons. Are you sure you're okay...?
"I don't either. A dragon is an illusion. You'd be surprised if researchers asked you if you could find it in a cave."
"... if you ask me so. The guild was desperate for it, but after all, it didn't get any good information."
Memories in the nostalgic human world.
Because I used to be in the position of an adventurer, it would be a lie to say that I am not interested in dragons.
Rather, it is no exaggeration to say that I admire you.
"Anyway, it's gonna be a good experience, so I have to thank you."
"D, Dorothy? Maybe, but isn't Aria brainwashing you...?
There was one Necromancer who was flattered by the Demon King.
Not as good as Rosé, but firmly planted with loyalty.
At least, there will be a few times as many of them as Richter.
"No way. I haven't changed. I hope you don't say anything weird."
As if what Richt is saying is wrong.
Dorothy kept denying it with a shiny face.
"Than that, it looks like Mr. Rael has changed so much, doesn't Richt know what it is?
"Mm-hmm. That bothered me, too. It's changed too rapidly, and if you ask the Iris, they won't tell you."
"... well. Maybe you shouldn't ask."
Events concerning Rael end up without either Richt or Dorothy knowing.
But the two didn't do anything to pursue it any further.
There seems to be an implicit understanding between those with a past who don't want to be asked.
"Then it's time to go to the Demon King. Mr. Rose and Mr. Faelice will be waiting."
"Well, Faylis is coming, too."
"Looks like it. What's wrong with you? Could it have been a fight?
"No way."
Richt sighs small.
"I feel like I've been followed more lately than ever. I don't know what I'm thinking, so I'm just too scared."
"Didn't you do something to get resented? Why don't you just apologize?
"... I tried, but I couldn't. I'm gonna run away without saying anything."
Mystery of Faelice.
That keeps Richt bothered all the time.
Until now, I had tried to listen directly because I could not read the thought, but now even that was no longer a reality.
If you're investigating Richt's behavior, what are you doing that for?
Richt doesn't know.
"Well, light it up."
…… You know what I'm talking about?
"No, it's nothing"
It was Dorothy as if she noticed something, but never told Richt the answer.
