After the mock fight with Serra, we went straight to the city.
Not only did Mr. Nito have healing magic, but he made us cook rice until our minute when we were tired of training and unable to move, which caused him considerable trouble.
I'll have to thank you properly later......
Serra... Yeah, she was all about shocking words and actions until the end, but still the instruction was real.
By the time I returned from the ruins of Orochi to the Inn, it was night.
"Tomorrow we need to get some rest and prepare for the exam."
After dinner.
After I took a shower, I was resting in my room with the demons after dressing in my bedroom.
"I'm really glad I finished my training..."
"No, you can't beat Lord Rick in a poorly fatigued state. This place should be physically and mentally fit to take the test."
"So is that..."
You're right about Schiff.
I intend to have done what I can with the last seven days of training.
All you have to do is get out of what you've been cultivating.
"Why don't you go shopping?"
"... uh, I really haven't had time for that lately, and should I go buy it out..."
The report about Meliá's capture and the other day's training were a mess.
If you want to take a break tomorrow, why don't you go buy what you're short then?
"I left my previous bedtime clothes in the ruins... I have to buy another one. And did you have what you needed?"
"Cu!"
"Oh, we need to get a new lime water bottle, too. I've been torn apart in battles."
The leather part is damaged, and the water bottle is dented.
It sounds good if you say it has a season in it, but if it breaks even during battle, it won't be stylish, so let's buy something new.
... you don't have to buy so much of what's around me.
Shall I buy something for the demons?
"And a bunk for Yulan."
"Sher!?"
Ever since I became a demon of my use, I have slept under my pillow wrapped around my pillow, just like Shiv, but when I became a triplet, I felt like cramped.
"... no, should we have everyone's share?"
"Mm-hmm. Our share?"
"Yeah, I've had you sleeping under my pillow before, but that's the place to sleep,"
I wonder if I can get a basket and pull a thick towel ket there.
Hakuro, let's lay a large towel kettle on the floor.
Thinking about what you buy in your head, Schiff slowly shakes his neck to the side.
"No, I don't mind the usual place."
"Oh yeah?"
"It calms me down the best beside you. What about Lime?"
"Cu!"
"If the bunk's coming, I'd like to try sleeping there, apparently."
You want to try both pies.
Sounds like a challenging spiritual lime.
Nodding at the lime, he calls out to the hawk who is zeroing his elbows on the bed beside me.
"Is that okay with hakuro?"
"Wong."
I stroke the head of a hakuro that snorts at me.
Then you're shopping tomorrow.
Once again, I decided to turn my body toward the wall.
"Reefa, what do you do?"
"I'm coming too."
"Okay."
I nod to Reefa, who replied firmly.
to her voice, leaking a voice that Schiff slightly pulled.
"Hey, getting used to it is scary..."
?
"No, that's fine if you don't mind... yeah"
Tilting my neck to such a shiv, I take the reading book that was on the table.
Something like a drawing about the demons of this world.
It's a textbook with just a few pictures and quite a few dense letters, but no more in the sense of studying and accumulating knowledge of the letters, so I'm deciding to read them one by one.
Since I started reading, time flies quietly.
"... hmm?"
By and large, about an hour later, Hakuro, Yulan and Lime had fallen asleep at some point if they looked around.
The only thing that was awake was Schiff, who seemed to be jiggling at the view out the window.
"Schiff."
"What's wrong?"
Schiff turning this way comes down from the window to the bed.
"Are you okay?"
"... what?"
"You're worried about that ruin, right?"
Words previously spoken by Meliá to Schiff.
About the fact that Schiff's memory is not real or about his mission.
Secrets enough to rock your existence.
I would have liked to hear that if it had been in Meliá, but she has left this place.
"Honestly, I'm not sure either."
……
"Who I am and where I come from... what I was born for"
A leaning shiv looks up at me. [M]
"The anomalies that are happening to your body will also be my fault"
"... no, that's not..."
"I had been given the role of physically fortifying those who were invited to that ruin… to plant what was called the surgical ceremony of pure demonic reincarnation.... as false memories."
If Schiff's memory is fake, then maybe... I guess so.
He who dwells the magic of a pure demon named me was planted with an inexplicable technique called pure demon reincarnation in the form of physical strengthening.
And that's still deeply tied to my soul - I guess I can't pull it off anymore.
"But like you said. I met you at that ruin, and every day since then, it's my own precious memory, not made of anyone."
"Schiff......"
"Then that's enough for now"
Schiff's eyes did not have the grief he felt earlier.
With so much trust, I snort strongly at him.
"Besides, you are destined to be deeply involved with the Divine Beast. Then you might know where I came from. Keep it up, my lord."
"Oh, nice to meet you. Sif."
Exchange words once now.
Is it refreshing to put it into words, Schiff zeroes a small aberration.
It's time for us to go to bed.
"Um, it's early tomorrow."
Check the sleeping demons once now and turn off the lights.
When I lay down in bed and meditate on my eyes, I think of the promotion exam to the gold adventurer that will take place the day after tomorrow.
Mr. Rick is strong.
Even now, in front of me, he hasn't shown any real power.
If you stay alert, you're opponent enough to be knocked down in an instant.
"... just for a moment, I'm looking forward to it"
Is that why I have myself exalted to be able to fight such a strong man?
Promotional exams, no matter what the outcome, let's fight unrepentantly.
