Going south into Crocus territory for half a day. Yoonada arrived in front of a cafeteria, built on the banks of a large lake. Therese, who has previously visited the country, suggested that this is a good place for lunch. Everyone agrees that Therese's proposal would be reassuring. Though it's off the shortest route, it's not something that takes that long, so go a little further.

"Hey, what's going on?

Listening to the footsteps of the dragon, it was the shopkeeper who jumped out of the store. After all, the shopkeeper is also a dwarf. At first, he seemed surprised to see Macham and Redon, and Ardelheit's country-chartered dragon car, but as soon as he made sure there was no harm, he was regaining his composure. There was a face I saw.

"Long time no see, shopkeeper!

"Whoa, isn't that characteristic drill Dear Therese? I'm big enough to look up."

"Oh ho ho ho! Me, because I strive to keep growing all the time!

Apparently, the shopkeeper remembered that Therese had come as a guest in the past. Who was it that whined in my mind that it was impactful?

"Well, why don't we just stand here and talk? You can't come inside. Uh, hey, you lizard, no dragon? I wonder what these guys will do. It's not for our cabin."

"Oh, Gob man, you're watching, so you'll be fine as it is. Macam, Redon, wait for me!

"Ghul!"

"Wow!"

"Ho, you're well educated. Okay, again"

After confirming that the Gob man has started feeding the Ground Dragons, Yoonas is led inside by the store owner. The store had potpouts and the appearance of a forerunner, which seemed to be in the middle of a meal, but for some reason its gaze had gathered in the shopkeeper. When the store owner tells him it was okay, he's relieved or starts eating again. Thanks, they even heard the ground dragon footsteps in the store.

"I'm sorry. Anyway, it was sudden, so I was surprised."

"I'm sorry to bother you. We should have run a little quieter."

"Hmm, that's hard to add or subtract. I wish I had the magic to turn off my footsteps."

"Ah... then Kara must have had it... when I left, let's ask..."

Wheelel named Kara the same court wizard. Speaking of Kara, do you even put up wind magic, a barrier that blocks sound with wind? When Yuna and Chinatsu think about it, a loud scream suddenly comes into their ears from behind the store.

"Ahhh! Guicheng on the deer fort!?

"" Huh?

Yuna and Chinatsu, who were called by their last names, look back to those who spoke. There's Oda, a glasses boy with a surprising look as he points to his finger. Behind the seats is a gaze that sees something rare, and a genuine dan with some fruit on his cheek. There was a threesome of Yuna's classmates who went on a journey before the college graduation festival.

"Heh, I got it. Wait a minute."

The owner took the order for the food and disappeared to the cooking area in the back.

………

There was an indescribable air in this seat that was left behind, and Oda, who became the seat, was cruising about what to cut out. Across from him is just Chinatsu sitting, next to whom Yona and Therese and the others line up in a seating order. Oda, who cares about you across the street, is bored remembering his dialogue, which he said away when he broke up. I still can't cut words out of myself. He's enjoying observing Oda like that, and he's not willing to offer a help boat. Because Oda's conscience, Jindan, is also a lousy speaker, he is thorough in keeping an eye on the situation with Awa.

"It's been a long time, you three! How was Master Mani, too?

"Really, it's been a long time! Uh, about a half moon swing. Oda, how have you guys been?

It is up to these two to break such air. Therese and Yuna greet each other directly from the front, without worrying about the three of them at all. There is no such thing as reluctance.

"Yeah, I'm doing fine somehow. Looks like Guicheng and the others haven't changed.... the strength seems to be different again."

In an atmosphere where there is no choice, Xu replies on behalf of the three of them.

"Mr. Therese hasn't seen you in a while, either. Uh, don't you recognize that kid? It's a pleasure to meet you. Oda is nervous about this bee over here, and Makota is the one with lunch on his cheek. Nice to meet you."

………

When she offered her right hand to shake Wheeler's hand when she first met her, she shyly hid behind Chinatsu. Apparently, people know each other.

"Wow, what's up, wee?

"Whoa, did they hate you?

"No, I'm just a little nervous. This kid was a brave guy, too, and my name is Wheelel. Wee, if you're an adult opponent, you're grand, but when you're close to your age, you're weirdly upside down. I think you'll get used to it right away, so wait for the temper."

"Oh, I see. But it's okay, it won't be as good as our Oda."

Pull in the right hand I offered, and laugh bitterly that I don't mind. As always, Oda is unlikely to move.

"Chi, Mr. Chinatsu... these people...?

"I guess it feels like me and Yona's classmates, Mr. Wee and Mr. Therese"

"Ha ha... something, my eyes are running blood, my nose is rough and I'm scared..."

"Ugh, yeah. Probably because I didn't do it on purpose."

The cause of the familiarity was Oda.

"So, what did Mr. Deer Fort and the others do to Crocus? Oh, should I report it to us before then?"

"Sure, you're looking for a way back to Japan? What's the progress like?

"Unfortunately, none of those stories are close to anything. I came to this Crocus country in the first place with the wish of Oda. If you're going to be adventurous, you need to see an elf in your ear, and you need to tell Crocus that you're the only one on this continent with a subhuman..."

"- Huh, huh! Don't say any more, because you're a newborn!

"Pfft, I got it. I got it. No, I'm sorry about everything, Oda."

I guess Oda visited Crocus in great anticipation, just because it was a flower country, a green country. But it was the muscles dancing in the poor flower gardens who welcomed him. It was already, Oda was discouraged to collapse.

"I didn't know you'd be interested in other races, Mr. Oda. You're an explorer! Wonderful!

"Ugh, stop me... you don't stare at me with such beautiful eyes..."

"Oh, Oda, calm down. Let's have some water."

Water is a friend. In accordance with the consciousness of world sharing, Oda takes his breath away by drinking out the water poured into the cup.

"Uh, so what could it have been?

"You were talking about why you came to Crocus. Oh, wait. Let me deduce. Hmm..."

Xu put his hand on his chin and let him roar gently as he posed as a detective. Wheelel's eyes shine out at such a slightly action-like trick of a twelve-year-old, whose heart must have been eagled by a disease peculiar to him. He patted his fingertips to attract more weerels.

"Okay. You were summoned to the Federation of Brave Men, weren't you?

"Duh, how did you know...!?

Wheelel asks with a little face from Chinatsu's back.

"No, well, it's not a riddle or anything. There's an Ardelheit national chapter in your carriage that you can see through the window, and who's stronger than Mr. Deer Fort or Mr. Guicheng, that's about the Knights of Nell and Mr. Derris, isn't it? The time is right, and I can just predict you're coming to Crocus at this time. I don't know why Mr. Knife isn't here, but are you trying to be discreet or something?

"... even if it doesn't hit me, it might not be far away"

"Oh, are you serious"

The last reasoning was mostly just to say by the look, so Xu accidentally smiles bitterly.

"Still, you know that brave men are often summoned? This is classified information, isn't it?

"Oh, that's a simple story. We are the brave men of Crocus."
