He pushed his back with his palms, and Bjak opened his eyes. Berggriff calls out.

"Have you come to understand?"

Bjaku stands up. Take a deep breath and look at your palm. It's like grasping and opening to check your fingertips.

Half a month has passed since Bergliff arrived at Orphen. It was getting colder day by day, and it was thought that Tornella would be snowing every day.

If the Persivals were still active, they would have heard some rumors and information, and Belgriff would go to the guild every day to find out about adventurers, and to gather information on past requests to find theirs. I followed my steps. He walked around town and talked to bar owners, shopkeepers of adventurer's equipment stores, and peddlers. However, no good information was available so far. It's been more than a decade before I left Orphen, so if you can't help it, you can't help.

In the meantime, they received mock battles from adventurers and prides who heard the rumor of “Akaoni”. Bergliff himself didn't hate his hand, and was happy to be able to refine his movements little by little by exchanging swords with opponents of various tactics. Originally, Bergryf's sword was a defense sword. The sword, which had to be forced to wear after losing his right foot, was ironic that it was ironic to return and fit himself, Briglyf grinned.

But after all, it's my sword. Graham's teachings paved the way for further steps, despite trial and error, which had been slow to bear fruit. At that time, it seemed that there was a lot of useless movement even in the former sword of his own defense, and it was strange that somehow the fate was mixed and my sword was being polished.

Training in the circulation of magic by the breathing method is, of course, also effective for wizards. After learning about Baklu, who dwelled in the Demon King and relied on much of his magic, Bergriff set aside time every day to teach Bakak how to breathe. As a result, if you can more efficiently move the magic of your own, which is not the Demon King's, you do not have to limit the magic.

Bergliff stroked Bják's head.

"You should be better at me than at me when dealing with magic. If you can get the feeling, you will be able to learn in a blink of an eye."

Bjak said with a sullen look, but did not pay separately by hand.

This is Angeline's room. During the half-moon life, I got used to the food shelves. As Bjark grumbles, he bought even a simple bed. Now, Bergliff and Charlotte are sleeping on a wide bed, and Bjak is sleeping on a small bed.

Berggryph thought it was difficult to get around. At the same time, Bjärk, who rebounds with Berglyph with such a human feeling, also appeared favorably. Even though it's a Demon King, Bakku is still a boy. Bergliff wore a cloak and wore a scarf from Charlotte.

"Well, let's go to the guild." "... I'm making progress." "How about ... well, better than nothing."

Berggriff laughed and stroked his beard and went out of the room.

Angeline's room is on the second floor. When you get out, there is a wooden deck from which you go down the stairs and onto the road. As he walked down the stairs, he took the cloth wrapped around the prosthesis. I walked without rolling in front of me and the loud noises from the floor caused complaints from the residents of the room below.

The sky was covered by clouds, and the atmosphere was like snowfall. Things that are cold are not as cold as Tornella. Berggriff squashed the muffler.

Angelin wondered if he would come back soon. It takes about half a month by carriage to reach the capital, Estgal. By the time Bergriff arrived at Orphen, it was likely that Angelin would have arrived at Estgal, so if there were no troubles, he would have already arrived home and approached Orphen.

Anyway, there is no specification even if it's hot. Bergliff quickly stepped into the guild building.

There were not many people in the lobby. The request seems to be reduced slightly when the cold gets severe. That's why there are more jobs to do, such as snow plowing and shopping. If you're an adventurer, you won't be willing to do that, but those who are running out of money and those who are still in their early teens will focus on such jobs. There are various types of adventurers. Yuri smiled at the reception.

"Hello, Mr. Bell," "is cheers for good work, Yuri. Also multiplied by the trouble but ..." "No, no, I'm not crap about this. ...... In much bad to not serve you very much." "No, not really helped us Thank you. "

According to Bergliff, Yuri dyed her cheeks and was shy.

"Dad-"

I heard a voice from behind. Charlotte rushed down and stuck to his feet. Even if I wear a knitted hat on my winter clothes, I am still bloated. Bergliff stroked his head.

"Oh, Shall. Could you be a good girl?" "Of course! I bought another ball of yarn! I'll knit a sweater this time!" "I'm looking forward to that." "Bakaku! Did you practice properly?" "It's natural. You don't have to worry about it."

Bergliff leaned over Biak's head. Bjaku turned his mouth sharply and looked away.

"Ah, Belle-san." "Belle-san, are you ready to practice Bjalak?"

Berggriff looked up and looked at Anessa and Miriam from behind Charlotte.

"Oh, it's okay today. Thank you for taking the Shal, both of you." "No, it was ..." "Soo-so. Shal is much more discerning. Yeah! "

They were going shopping with Charlotte. Meditation is quiet and boring. Berggryf worried that it would be better for Charlotte to be with girls, but it seemed correct. Seeing Charlotte innocently frowned, Bergliff smiled.

Charlotte, who is being targeted, wants to learn the magic someday, but after hearing her and Bjak's itinerary, and thinking of the pressure that a little girl, about ten years old, still had, Belgriff said that Charlotte I wanted to play at ease. Certainly, you will eventually have to master the art of self-defense, but for a girl who has lost her parents, crazyly believes in Solomon, and has continued on a journey like a child, she will now practice magical training. I didn't seem to let it.

"... It's the role of an adult to protect a child."

I muttered. I can still carry my child's luggage. Marguerite came there in a hurry.

"Oh, what is it?

Marguerite laughed and placed his basket in front of Yuri. Winter herbs and nuts are heaped up.

"I came here to collect the material! Please judge me!" "Oh, Marie. "No, not." "No. If you want to use this, please do your best and promote it." "Chuu, ginger."

Marguerite pointed. Berglyph looked into the basket and stroked his beard as if impressed.

"Good condition, Marie" "Hey, yeah? It's too warm and unsatisfactory" "Yeah. But I don't have to learn to pull my hand out until I learn how to pull out my power well. "I hope you understand. I'm really serious!"

Marguerite swollen his cheeks.

After registering as an adventurer, Marguerite was promptly asked to do this, and was engaged in collecting materials from exterminating the lower demons and searching for dungeons. She herself sought to jump through the tedious process and make strong monsters and difficult requests, but Berggryf did not allow her. His theory was that if one had to learn the basics of an adventure one step at a time, he would invite patience and be sure to scoop somewhere.

Marguerite, once in danger due to patience, is reluctantly doing introductory work, but it seems that it has become more fun here. He seemed to have found that anything could be enjoyed as much as it was, as long as he did not lose his willingness to discover something.

"Then, you'll be assessed a little over there." "Yeah, go."

Marguerite walked with his basket to the reception for lower rank adventurers. Bergliff turns to Yuri.

"I'd like to check yesterday's continuation." "Yes, it's okay. Please." "So, I have another thing to look at ..." "Yeah! I'm waiting with Arne and Mily! "

Charlotte responded fine. Byak is silent and silent.

Bergliff walked into the counter and began to look over the material at the back. It is just a blind spot from the table, and there is no worry about strangely attracting attention. What you see is an old request. Persival's request may have been received, but it is difficult to say that the order is organized, and Bergliff squinted and looked back many times before moving on to another source.

Outside seems to have begun to fall, with fluffy snow clinging to the heads and clothes of the incoming people, which are melting here and there. The wind that came in was mixed with snow, and there were drops of water here and there.

After examining some of the material, Bergliff grew significantly because there was still no progress. I'm not good at this kind of work, but I haven't been in it for a long time, so I get tired of it.

Suddenly, the table was noisier when I listened. With just a face out, Angelin is standing with a tired face and talking to Anessa and others. A reddish brown-haired woman and a thin man in a bowler hat stood aside.

Angelin raised his hand loosely and said, "Oh."

"I'm tired ... but I'm back safely ..." "Haha, I'm tired. Gill, too." "I'm not tired, Fufufu." "Hey Hey, Angers. "Yeah," "I'll tell you later ... I want to go home and sleep ..." "No, no, I'm really surprised!" "Oh, my sister! I'm surprised!" "Yes, later ... ... "" Well, we've been all the way. Welcome back, Angers. "" Thank you, Arne ... but anyway please tell your dad back ... "

Bergliff went straight out.

"Okay? Welcome back, Angers." "Yeah, right now, Dad ... Dad?"

Angelin raised her face and opened her eyes. Bergliff laughed as he cluttered.

"Oh, how was Estgal? How can I get a medal ..." "Sad!"

Angelin jumped at the Bergliff with the rush of his rabbit. Bergliff stepped in and hugged Angelin.

"Dad Dad Dad!" "Haha, what a troubled child ..." "Dad Dad!" "Ok, I see." "Dad ... is that you are Berglyf?" "Yes, but ... are you?" "Dad, dad, dad!" "My name is Gilmeña. I'm sorry to have left my daughter ..." "Oh, you. Thank you very much for your inconvenience ... "" Dad Dad Dad Dad! "" ... Anger, calm down a bit "" Dad! "

Angelin shrugged his face against Mugi and Bergriff's chest. Otherwise the mouth would move freely. Berggriff smiled and stroked Angelin.

"Really ... Exaggerated, Angers"

Miriam giggled.

"Because I thought I could return but I couldn't return, I thought I couldn't meet, but I couldn't help it." "It's a dog that was unchecked."

Said Bjal, a laugh. Bergliff scratched his head.

"... I don't have any specifications"

Angelin was clinging to Bergriff for a while and squatting on her face.

"Why! Why are you in Orphen, Dad!" "Hmm ... I think it would be nice to go to Anger from here." "I'm glad ... Dad, Dad! Bonfire and straw ...... It smells like Tornella! "

Angelin slipped and cheeked on Bergriff's chest, making her face shine as she remembered.

"I see! I see! I met Dad's old friend in Estgal!" "... Hah !?" "I want to meet Dad, so I'm going to Tornella in the spring and I'll be with Orphen. Well, uh ... "

Angelin looked around and leaned her head. Gilmena pointed with a grin. Beyond that, there was a man in a mountain high hat, squatting down, holding his head, and curling up.

Angelin grabbed the man's shoulder.

"What are you doing ..." "Because ... I haven't heard that you're at Orphen ... Oira, I'm still ready for my heart ..."

Angelin forced the man in the mountain hat to push himself in front of the Bergliff. Berglyph narrowed his eyes and looked seriously at the man's face.

"... Kashm?" "Hey, hehe ..."

Casim scratched his head. My eyes are moist and my shoulders are tight. His mouth is shaking little by little, but he doesn't know what to say. But he said small.

"... Beard is growing, Bell." "Hah ... you too."

Bergliff smiled as if weak.

It was like a guild staff break room. There are several chairs and tables. Perhaps because he is still busy, no one is taking a break.

Berggriff and Kasim sat at the table facing each other. I wanted to talk a little together. But Bergliff was a bit confused about what he cut and how he cut it. Kasim seemed to be the same, swimming his eyes calmly, but soon opened his mouth gently.

"I don't know how to talk about this ..." "Hah, that's right ..." "... How are you?" "Oh ... somehow. You?" "Oira ..."

Casim looked down. Bergliff scratched his cheek.

"I'm an adventurer, I quit. Even though I've reached the S rank." "Yeah ... somehow, I'm sick ...."

Kashim looked up and smiled bitterly.

"Isn't it rude to say this?" "No, don't you ... let me know? What happened to Percy and Sati? What happened to you since I returned to Tornella? "

Kassim was silent, but opened his mouth.

"Oira, just trying to get stronger at that time. I'm getting stronger, getting higher ranks, getting tough jobs ... and maybe I'll find a way to cure your feet." "Mum ..." "Don't laugh? The oilers were young and stupid. I knew you were hurt and you were still laughing desperately, but I didn't know what to do. I was afraid that if I put my words, you would completely close your heart. "" I see ... so ... so ... "" Yeah ... so I was desperately raising my rank. I thought I'd come back again if I came across a way to cure my feet. Percy believed that he was the most important thing.

Bergryf shook his head, interrupting Kasim's words.

"No. That's just a lot of overlapping things. No one's bad."

Kassim tilted the bowler hat toward his eyes.

"Anyway, the oilers looked for a way to cure the missing body." "... I hope there is a way." "Oh, yeah, Bell. There was no way. It's forbidden. And my feet erode my body and turn into something else. That was all. "

Kasim continued with a pathetic smile.

"Percy, who had originally lost her smile since she was no longer smiling, has finally stopped laughing. More and more Satie is looking far away. I was able to do well because you were always in between. "

Berglyph shuts his mouth. What is the humility of now?

"While I was looking for you, there were more fights due to trivial things. One day, Saty went out. It was decisive. So Oira and Percy were separate. Kiria doesn't even know about them, it's ironic, they all wanted to help you, but they all hated each other. "" Kashim ... " Still, she couldn't give up, so did Percy, he became an S-rank adventurer at Orphen, and Oira went to the Imperial City because he felt the limits of what Orfen could find. Sometimes I hang with dangerous people to know how to do it, sometimes it's used well, sometimes I'm fooling myself with the irrational sense of superiority that I'm doing. When you are doing something It was good. When something is successful, came unexpectedly Kimi and Percy and Satie, mon was also me be What a fool imagine compliment me I worked hard. "

Kassim smiled a bit crazy.

"It's ironic, but because Ira's talent was so good, everything went really well. I created a new magic formula and became a great magic.

Her fingertips hit the table.

"I didn't want to be. I was so embarrassed that I was praised for what I had accomplished. I was just crazy about getting crazy and working on something. I was losing sight of what I was asking for, my heart was getting worse, I came to a place where I couldn't return, like a snowball rolling down a hill. I noticed. ''

Kashim, who told him to roll up, spilled tears.

"Oira's time has stopped ... Eating only at the age ... He's still a kid, hehe."

Casim smiled sadly, wiping tears with her palm.

"Anger is a good boy ... I'm really Bell's daughter. When I talked to him, I knew that what I was doing wasn't wrong. After all, you're amazing."

Bergriff stood up and held Casim's shoulders over the table.

"I'm sorry. I made you feel sorry because of me." "That's it! You're the hardest! You've lost one leg! And ... the oilers couldn't stop ... "

Casim scooped up.

"You're terrific ... At that time, you opened the scroll while you were bitten by your feet, so the oilers were saved. If not, then ..." "Oh, Kasim."

Bergliff said calmly.

"I was honest, you were jealous of you." "Eh ...?" "I had a different talent. Percy and Satie didn't feel like swords, and I didn't want to beat you. I didn't. "

Bergliff looked down and continued at last.

"You guys are confident and I felt like a shade. I knew there was an area that I couldn't reach, no matter how hard I tried. "I didn't accept it." "No! That's it!" "But. I lost my legs and was able to move on."

Bergliff stared straight at Kasim.

"I could see Angers." "...!" "If I hadn't lost my legs, I would have been an adventurer at Orphen, and I wouldn't have picked up Angers in my home mountain." "Hey, that's a really good girl!" "Sure? I'm a proud girl. That girl brought me various ties to me. Today, you It was thanks to him that I could meet him, so he may even be grateful for the loss of his feet. "

Bergliff gently looks down at his hip sword.

"... I'm a sword, I'm better than I was when I was an adventurer. Even at this age, it may still grow." "Hey, really, really? I can't believe it, but ... Kassim, I've had many times to think if there was another way, but we can't live in the past no matter how we do it "I have to carry the past and look at the future." "Yeah ..." "You guys carried the past too much. I came to not look at the past. I need to settle it. "I came to Orphen." "... That's right. Oira also wanted to regain her past ...."

Bergliff smiled and gave his hand.

"I'm glad to see you again, Kasim. I'm sorry for making you feel sorry. Thank you." "-! Sorry ... Sorry, Bell! Thank you!"

Kasim leaned his bowler hat on his face with one hand to cover his crying face, and held Bergriff's hand tight with the other. They remained silent for a while, but eventually laughed and got up. Kasim gladly wiped his tears.

"Bell was a bell!" "Hah, that's okay. But you look a little too different? Didn't you know who it was?" "Hata ... you're already used to this."

Kassim laughed and pulled his beard. Bergliff laughed.

"Oh, don't you, if you have the habit of stroking and messing around, can't you shave anymore?"

Kassim laughed, sighing small, and banged on Bergriff's shoulder.

"Well, Belle. Forgive me and Percy. He was that guy and he felt really responsible ..." "It's obvious. I want to meet him and talk. Of course Sati. "Hey, of course! I'm glad! I'm gonna be able to talk with four people again!" "Oh ... what is it like? Do you have a beard growing?" Hey, it's unexpectedly bald ... oh, yes. "

Kassim frowned slightly and struck Belgryph's back.

"Let's say, Bell! Are you one of the best adventurers I know of? The value of an adventurer isn't just the strength of the sword. It's partying and fighting with various guys But there was no one who could do it, like observing the eyes, being careless, being prepared to go on an adventure, isn't it? "" Hey, that's too much to say ... "

Berggriff smiled and scratched his cheek. Casim laughed at herself and shook her, holding her on the shoulders of Bergliff.

"Hey, it's not good to be wet! You can drink delicious sake today!"

When I left the room, Angelin, who seemed to be waiting, flew away.

"Is it over?" "Oh, thank you Anger" "Hehehe, Anger, your dad is still the best dad!" "Hey! "Yes!" "Oh, yes. There are many dads."

Bergliff smiled and mischievously grabbed Angelin's shoulder.

"What is searching for a bride?" "Em" "Dad, I was warned by everyone. Leave the search for my wife to my daughter."

Seeing the wobbly Angelin, Bergliff laughed tightly.

"It's a joke, but it's true that I went to apologize. You haven't done anything next?"

Bergliff stroked Patin and Angeline's head.

"Good boy. OK, let's celebrate our reunion and eat some food."

A breeze came in and a breeze came in, and the snow that came in was rolling around the whirlpool.
