Humans are constantly evolving.

I'm the only one who thinks so, and it might be better to call it 'change' in essence.

I don't know if I can feel it if it is improved. I don't think about the possibility that my habits are getting worse.

Both Amy and Vince had a lot of scenes where weaknesses were getting bigger if they weren't corrected. It wasn't like Russell wasn't there at all.

By then, good change is difficult.

Knowledge is easy in that regard.

Because there are no negative elements to the change, which increases the number of things that are not.

... but that's only progress on the same axis. It's a very linear, narrow field of view growth.

Sometimes, there will be situations that require radical change.

Just one step.

Sometimes that step is enough to make you feel like you've made so much progress in your life.

Maybe that's what it is now.

"Ah, yeah. It's okay for Russell to stand in the kitchen."

Emmy's words were such a big incident that they shake the very foundation of what I call "my best friend, Emmy."

Why did Russell not stand in the kitchen? That's because Amy hated Russell's injuries so much.

As I remember back then, Amy moved desperately to the dungeon to keep Russell from getting hurt. Rather, I think I even prefer to get hurt instead of Russell.

That day, the day all of us changed.

When I found out that I was the one who hurt Russell, Amy was completely spoiled.

The word worse than I could say, Amy was no longer there. [M]

What happened after that?

Amy, who appeared before me again, was undoubtedly making a good difference.

It feels like a flying butterfly that has been growing together since childhood, stripping away the shell of immutable childhood.

Yes... it's a feather. Growing up. Amy... completely grew from a "child" to an "adult."

Russell has also changed a lot.

But I used to think that Russell's kindness could be weak for those with swords.

That white robe turned black, as if everything had been turned upside down.

I wonder... it's not black, purple black, sandalwood... black, maybe.

The rabbit horn, its colour was beautiful and impressive enough to imagine that it was originally such a robe.

Character, white and weak Russell is not there, black and powerful will and words that feel even rough.

I would never have mercilessly slapped a short man named Civila.

But... I'm the one who made that difference.

And yet, Russell... was warm. You accepted everything.

No, it wasn't enough to accept. Russell confirmed everything about my actions and thoughts to the point where I felt negative and didn't think I was reluctant. [M]

It's a complete defeat.

This person has been around for a long time. I could not have been a Virgin.

... I thought I wanted to be. I thought... not anymore.

Now it seems clear to me, "If I had Russell, I wouldn't have to be a saint."

I looked back and felt it.

They're leaving me.

When we walked together, I was next to Vince, and Amy was next to Russell, often walking in two rows.

The reason is simple. All three of them trained as swordsmen, so I was easily left behind when I was blurry.

So I stood on the leading side. Otherwise... I felt like we were all going first.

I had knowledge. I grew up.

But I wasn't making any progress,

We couldn't go up the stairs just by moving forward.

Looking at the sky a little at the table, the woman sat next to her.

"Um... Civila-san, is that okay?"

"Yeah, yeah, that's good. Janet."

When I thought I was sitting in a chair, I leaned over to a position where I could touch it.

He's really easy to understand.

"Can I help you?

"There's nothing wrong with it, but why shouldn't I come if I don't have to?

"No.... What can I do for you?

When I heard the story, it seemed that Russell and Amy were going to have a mock fight.

I didn't know why I told you that, but I went to peek at it because it was a corner. [M]

The two fights were different from any simulation we've ever seen.

Russell is serious. And Amy... I mean it.

And the match ended with Emily's victory. What surprised me was that Amy targeted Russell.

As a matter of fact, Amy didn't actively hit herself to avoid Russell's pain.

That was the momentum that blew the sword away. Russell is naturally in pain.

Then I had a conversation with Amy and Russell.

As I listened to the conversation, I saw two dazzling young acquaintances moving forward, and I felt extra. [M]

I want to be useful to my best friend.

At the same time as he had the wish, Russell called out to him.

Absolutely familiar with what you're looking for. You'll find everything in no time.

I wonder if he searched for what I wanted. [M]

Then let me... give you the information that Russell and the others are looking for.

If that's how you repay me so far... even this kind of me can show a little courage.

Afterwards, while watching the two of you, give some advice as you used to do.

Eat lunch together on time.

When I called the three after dinner, I cut out the story. [M]

"I want to talk about what happened at the brave party."
