Summer was gradually over, and the signs of autumn were approaching.

After exterminating Icehound, Bergliff walked through the woods and mountains several times, killing several Greyhounds. The lumberjacks, who had been attracted by the power of Icehound, seemed to be completely gone, so the lumberjacks started working as before. Trees were cut down and transported to the village where they were sawn and sawn, and the church was neatly renovated for the Autumn Festival and an educational institution was set up next to it. The church is seriously trying to teach children to study. As autumn approaches, the harvest of the mountains will become richer. The Belgriff, once the monsters were gone, took the children back into the mountain and gathered mountain grapes, mushrooms, akebi, rock lingerie, and wild vegetables.

"This mushroom is very similar to this one, but if you tear it, will you get a black stain? This is a poisonous mushroom, you can't eat it." "Uncle Bell, this is it?" It's a delicious mushroom, everyone can bite the poisonous mushroom lightly and learn only the taste.Don't swallow it.You can avoid danger if you learn it with your body.Train your senses. " Yeah, "Yeah, delicious" "Hey, can't you swallow it?"

The party, who had a heap of baskets, went down the mountain in good mood. Already climbing the mountain is not as sweaty as summer. Of course, the sweat is light, and the sweat is like the clothes stick to the skin, but the blowing wind is refreshing and cool. Comfortable for sweaty skin. Returning to the village, the children rush to their homes with their own crops. I want my family to be proud and praised. Bergliff smiles and sees off the children running with a smile brilliantly.

"Well, then go to the field ..."

When he returned home, he changed his work clothes and went out into the field behind. Sweet potato vines are vigorously covering the field. Summer vegetables, by contrast, are slowing down a bit, but still bear fruit. Take the weeds and return the sweet potato vines. I was relieved to see the seeds of turnips and green leaves sowing before this.

"It's really good soil here too."

Berglyf was gradually expanding his fields year by year. This corner is a newly cultivated field about three years ago. At first, the soil was hard, and the buds that came out were immediately eaten by insects, but partly because they have been patiently and carefully cared for, they are now generously producing good crops.

Bergriff glanced around the fields and took a breather from the rock cowberry picked from the mountain. Every time I eat this, I remember Angelin.

"I guess she loves this ... I guess there's only processed goods in the city."

Rock cowberry is sweet and sour and delicious, but does not last very long. The rock cowberry is not available around the city of Orphen, so they are sold exclusively in jam, or candied and dried. In this village, we make things like that, but Angelin liked the freshly picked rock cowberry. Angeline's happy expression, which eats it, is what made her happy until Bergryph.

"When will you come back ..."

Five years since I left, there were few days to think about that. No, even though I thought, I was pushing it. However, as Angelin has begun to show his willingness to return home, Berggryph has to be conscious. In short, I'm lonely.

"I'm an idiot ... while we are ..."

As he twisted his beard and grinned, he suddenly heard a high-pitched voice on the front saying, "Thank you!" Bergliff stood up unexpectedly.

A voice I've never heard of. It is feminine in voice. As she leaned her head out, she saw a girl dressed in high quality cloth standing alone. Is it a place like seventeen or eight in the year? Platinum blonde hair is grouped behind her head in chinon. The face was beautiful and made me feel noble. Still, he has a sword on his waist. The back seems to be one head smaller than the Bergliff. It's pretty tall for a woman, as it's more so than a tall Bergliff. Berggriff was annoyed by the visit of a completely stranger, but struggled and calmed down.

"Hello, what either sama"

The girl bends his back straightly.

"I'd like to forgive the indiscretion of sudden visits without any notice. Is this the same at the home of the" Akaoni "Berggryph?" "Oh, Akagi ... "

Berggriff is confused by what he or she doesn't know, but he knows he has a purpose. The girl shouted, "Oh!"

"Indeed, a stunning redhead deserving to be dubbed" Akaoni "..." "... No, you're not mistaken for anything?" "Huh? How many people named Berggryph in this village? "No, as far as I know, the only Belgryph in this village is me ...? ... Akaoni?"

I do not remember at all. Who is calling himself by such a nickname? Bergliff tilted his head. The girl also looks strange.

"Ah ... I've heard that Belgriff is the patron of Angeline, the" black-haired war maiden "of the S-rank adventurer ..."

Berglyph opened her mouth.

"Ha ... well, Angeline is my daughter, but ..."

A Berglyph who has lost some confidence while saying. My daughter is an S-rank adventurer. It's a proud story, but at the same time it's like a stale tale, with no realism. I felt ashamed to say it. However, the girl seemed satisfied with the response, and she nodded alone, saying, "Arrow!" I don't know who the girl in front of me is, but I don't know who it is. Bergliff opened his mouth.

"Um ... so who are you?"

The girl shook her hand as if she was surprised.

"I'm sorry that I did not introduce myself !? I was too late. I'm Count Bordeaux's second daughter, Sasha Bordeaux."

On hearing that, Bergliff was astonished. Lower your head in a hurry.

"Is this the lady of the Lord? ... I'm sorry to say that I didn't know ..." "No, no, no! Raise your head! Angelin is the great benefactor of the Bordeaux family! The same goes for you, your father! "" Huh, uh ... that's what you stand for ...

Herbal tea Berggriff confused Sasha into the house. And serve rock lingonberry, grapes, akebi, etc. on a plate.

"I'm sorry that I only have this kind of thing."

Sasha bows down politely. Berglyph, on the other hand, wonders what this low waist is, despite being the daughter of a lord who also holds the crown. I don't know if Angeline was a great Bordeaux benefactor. What did he do?

Bergriff opened his mouth, watching Sasha pinching the rock cowberry.

"And what kind of business is Sasha ...?"

Sasha, who seemed to be crazy about rock cowberry, looked up. Then, one cough, as if reddening your cheeks. Then bow again.

"Belgium, your daughter, Angelin, did not only rescue my sister, Selenium Bordeaux, than the thieves, but sent them to my father, Count Bordeaux, who was on the bed, and thank them with gratitude. No. "On the bed ... Is it safe for Count Bordeaux?"

Sasha smiled a bit lonely.

"Because I could meet Selenium, I traveled to the Lord God, Vienna." "I see ... Vienna bless you ..." "I'm afraid."

The two cut a small cross. Sasha bows down and continues.

`` I was badly going to defeat the monsters, and it was not suitable to meet Angelin, but he was affirmed with all his rewards, and inevitably went to my father, Bergliff I was told that I wanted you to give it. "

It was this that he helped the girl from the bandit mentioned in the letter and took him to his father. Berggriff wanted to be sure to write down all that important thing, but I can't help disregarding her daughter's accomplishments. The mouth was loose. Sasha removed a small bag from her pocket and placed it on the table. There was a sound of coins in it.

"There are hundreds of gold coins." "Hyaku ...?" "It's painful that I can only do this kind of thanks, but our family is nervous now ...."

Sasha looks down in shame. With one gold coin, a Tornella villager can live for almost a year. Bergliff hurriedly pushed the bag back.

"That's ridiculous. You'll be punished if you get this!" "What are you saying! Selenium's life is as cheap as a thousand gold coins! If you don't receive it, you're involved in the honor of the Bordeaux family. ! "

After several pushes and answers, Bergriff finally received the power of Sasha. I can't imagine what can be used for hundreds of gold coins. If it's still in the capital, it's basically Tonerella, a countryside that basically covers almost everything in self-sufficiency and bartering except for dealings with peddlers. Many villagers have never seen gold coins. The Belgryph received a defeat, but this was a reward for Angelin, so he decided to keep it and give it to her when she came back. Until then, I won't do anything. I don't need that.

Sasha, who handed the reward, was supposed to return, but on the contrary, he embarked on the main subject.

"Belgium had taught Angelin the basics of swordsmanship and adventurers!" "Well, well ... when she was small." It's still AA rank and it's embarrassing ...

Though the hundreds of adventurers wondered where they would be ashamed to finish their lives at best in ranks C and B, Bergliff laughed and cheated. She is surely an ambitious daughter. Sasha was nervous, but she looked forward to the Belgriff. The sharp glance, and unexpectedly, Bergriff's spine also stretched.

"Bergryph!" "Yes" "I know heavily, but I hope Sasha Bordeaux is a professor of the" red demon "Berggryph's sword skills!"

Sasha bowed deeply. Berggriff was a little hesitant, but in essence, he wanted to simulate. That's fine. Good exercise. Anyway, who got the red demon? Bergliff smiled bitterly.

"I don't think I can be a professor, but ...

Sasha suddenly looked up. The expression shines with joy.

"Thank you ...!"

Berggriff urged Sasha to come up. Good weather. The sun is tilted west, and the shadows are long. Sasha holds a sword on her hip with a sheath. Berggryph screamed at his appearance. It is a beautiful model without waste. You can look at it with considerable ability.

interesting.

Berglyph also holds a sword with a sheath. The two faced each other and gazed at each other for a while. Sasha squeezes little by little, but Bergryf does not move. It just shakes slightly left and right. Sweat oozes on the forehead. Sasha moved as the sweat on her forehead turned into a ball and ran down her chin down her cheek.

"Wow!"

In a blink of an eye, she's going to be a bergrif. However, Bergriff, who had been watching her every move, responded and shook her sword immediately. It doesn't make a metallic sound because the sheath is still attached. But it is a violent and sharp sound. Sasha turns to the second shot as soon as she knows her first shot has taken place. However, the Bergglyph takes it lightly with the minimum necessary movement. And the third shot ... the fourth shot ...

What did they do? A powerful swordsman is just like dancing. The two ran, jumped, bounced, and swung their swords, moving endlessly, as if each other responded to each other's movements. Sasha's sword was fast, but Bergliff's sword was fast and heavy. Whenever he received a blow from him, Sasha grimaced at the weight. In addition, Bergglyph's leggings were sometimes removed because of prosthetics, which further puzzled Sasha.

Bergriff struck a sword at Sasha's neck, kneeling from fatigue. Sasha raised his hand while breathing painfully, indicating that he would surrender.

"Well, I lost ..." "... huh ... I was rude with poor swordsmanship."

Bergliff smiled and drew his sword. He's breathing, but unlike Sasha, he's not like a full wound. However, Sasha's ability was losing if she was careless. He was like a man of age and kept a generous appearance, but he was thrilled that he could win well. Enter the house, get a glass of water and come back. To Sasha, still kneeling and breathing, Bergriff handed a cup. When Sasha drank water, she took a deep breath and looked up at Bergriff.

"Thank you ... huh, it's wonderful ... we're the father of Angelin and his teacher ..." "No, Sasha is also a wonderful arm. I'm impressed here too. "Huh, humility. I thought it would be a blow if it weren't, but I'm ashamed of my shallowness .... I haven't heard about it because I wasn't studying. Probably a well-known adventurer. ''

Sasha looks at the Bergliff with hopeful eyes. Eyes say it was S rank. Berggriff frowned in trouble.

"No ... I was ranked E. I was on my first leg, so I was retired. So I've retired. I've been in Tornella ever since."

Say that and show the right prosthesis. Sasha peeled her eyes and drank. Bergliff thought he was disappointed. But that is better than being overestimated. She may not like that she lost like the former E rank, but she will be stronger in another year. Rather, if you get this inspired, that's fine.

However, contrary to Bergrigiff's imagination, Sasha took a hand of Berggriff with glittering eyes. My cheeks are up.

"I was impressed!" "... Huh?" "Despite being a prosthetic leg, I had that much ability ... How much training was done !? And while having that ability, I never dared to go out into the world You just kept guarding this Tornella village ... and finally raised your own S-rank adventurer ... You didn't seek your own fame, just go back and grow a small village What is going on in the development of ... Sasha Bordeaux, the scale that fell from my eyes! "" ... No, that "," I was able to have a good souvenir story ... I also had a wider view and myself Don't just follow the fame. Belgriff, I want to worship you as a teacher, pretending to be! ”“ Cho, a little ... Sasha? I'm sorry that such an inexperienced person took the time!

Sasha wielded with his hands on Bergriff, and said, "Now, this is it!" It was like a storm. For a while, Berglyph stood still, not knowing what had happened. The sunset dyes the sky and the shadows become longer.

Burns came and called out.

"Belle, my dad had dinner together ... what happened?" "... I wonder if I had a daydream?"

Seeing the amazed Bergliff, Barnes leaned his head and scratched his head.
