Huh?

Friae looks like she even met a ghost in the middle of the day.

It's been three years.

It's as beautiful as ever, but now I have my big mouth open and I have a loose expression for a while.

"Hey, it's been a while."

When I raised my hand and said hello, Freyae said, "Hah!".

And after a moment of flickering eyes,

... Sung.

and turned into a faceless expression.

"Princess?"

"... who are you talking to?"

Tsun, turning away from her face, said out coldly.

Is that it?

It's not what I thought.

(Oh, Friae, who became queen of the Moon Land (Raphylloig), is getting cold in Makoto!)

I can hear Noah's teasing words.

Is that what this attitude is all about?

Freyae-chan is a leader of a country now?It's too different from the civilian Makoto.)

(Really... is that so?)

She is a former companion of the journey, but a queen.

Compared to me, I'm a civilian ex-husband.

There's a big gap between us.

Maybe there's nothing I can do about it.

"I'm glad you're doing well. Bye."

I was able to fulfill my reunion greeting with Friae, my purpose.

I felt a touch of loneliness, but I wanted to stop staying any longer.

I decided to turn around and leave this place.

I don't know where I am because of the spatial transition (teleport), but let's aim for an inn for now.

When I was thinking like that.

"Ah... no, wait..."

I heard voices from behind.

In retrospect, I met Furiae, who reached out to me.

I felt like I was being told to wait, so I stopped my leg.

…………

…………

Stare straight at each other.

I waited for the next word, but it didn't come out.

The quiet time lasted.

"Hey, what are you looking at? Nasty!"

Friae has a technique of hiding her body with both hands.

... what is it, this woman?

When I was having trouble dealing with it, a shadow appeared in front of my eyes.

Before you know what it is.

"Whoa! Get out of the way, Makoto!"

"Ah, fu-chan!"

I can hear a noisy voice from above.

Guge...

Together with that voice, I laid down the two of them.

"... hey, Lucy."

"Sorry, Makoto!"

As I spit out the sand in my mouth, I turn my gruesome eyes towards Lucy.

Apparently, it came with a spatial transition.

Above me.

"Master Furiae! Are you all right?!"

"You guys! Where did you come from?"

"It's a songwriter! Get him!"

It must have been because he was making a loud noise.

Straw and a lot of knightlike people have arrived.

If you look closely, there is also a man close to Friae named Havel the other day.

Wasn't he supposed to be gone?

"What are you doing! Hit the thief!"

"Ha! I'll take care of it... is that...?"

"Guren's fangs?"

"... will we capture Lucy and Aya?"

I can't get caught.

He said, "I'm just being beaten up."

Apparently Friae-san's guardian knight, but she waited until she knew that the opponent was Lucy and Sa.

The boulders are famous.

"Takazuki Makoto! I didn't expect you to cross the guard's eyes and approach Friae-sama.I would have punished you severely, but I'll miss it this time!Leave now! "

Havel, who is close to him, says high pressure.

It seems that you should leave.

(... would it be enough to drive her away even though she approached the Moon Queen without permission?)

I felt a little uncomfortable, but I faked it and said, "I knew it!I don't care if they say that. "

"Excuse me. I will leave promptly."

It was Lucy and Sa without checking.

"Hey! Huli! Makoto is here to see you!?"

"That's right, you wanted to see me so much!"

……

In their words, Mr Friae was silent.

"Wait! Master Friae is tired now...."

"Wow, Havel! I'll give you a fireball!"

You're going to blow me up, aren't you, Mr. Havel?

"……………………… High"

Havel, who stopped, retreated with Lucy's sword and Sa's intimidation.

Is he really the town of the moon?

"Huli! Why didn't you say anything?"

"What's going on? Fu-chan!"

Still, Mr. Furiae is silent.

"This is not going to bother you anymore. Let's go home."

I decided to pull the two of you.

Seeing that, Havel's expression turned into a relaxed expression.

"Yes, there are a lot of things we have to do with the Third (...) Third (...) Northern March Plan.I can't afford to be a retired brave man!Hurry back to the land of water (Roses) and soak in the hot spring at your leisure, former hero! "

I was given a gentle word instead of a disgusting tone.

And there was a word in Havel's words that bothered me.

Third Northern Expedition Plan, huh...

Ask Princess Sofia or Sakurai for details.

Hmmm! Makoto will return to being a Nationally Recognized Hero soon!

"That's right, then Takazuki is a brave man in the Land of Water, so he's involved in the Northern March project!"

Lucy and Sa's words were echoed by Friae, who had been silent until now.

Oh my God!

The clear face just now disappeared and turned towards us with a stunned expression.

My eyes met.

"Princess?"

"Chi, no!"

After saying "Ha!" again, he turned his back on me.

He is whispering something.

Havel turns to me.

"... Takazuki Makoto.... Are you returning to the National Champion?"

Havel asked me about the sudden rounding of his high-handed attitude.

I have no reason to answer.

Hmm, I was wondering what was wrong with him.

"Yes, Princess Sofia is in the process!"

"Takazuki is full of fighting the Great Demon King."

Lucy and Sa-san will answer instead of me, so I decided to leave it to you.

Havel didn't react to the reply.

However, Furia-san, who was still facing behind her, was trembling.

That's right, Friae-sama.

…………

Havel is talking to Friae.

Friae's voice is too small to hear.

"Takazuki Makoto. You are the assistant to the Light Warrior in the demon King Crusade in the Land of Wood (Spring Rogue) and in defeating the Beast King (Zagan).In addition, it serves as the God of the Goddess of the Sun (Altena).A hero of the Water Nation (Roses) who has done enough to fight.I don't think we need to fight any more.Why fight even more? "

I was asked a lot of questions in a long sentence.

"Whatever they say....."

Because there was a demon king there - I was stunned, so I refrained from commenting.

"If there is a demon king there, Takatsuki-kun will go!"

Stop it, Mr. Sa.

They think I'm stupid.

Even Lucy had a slightly caught-eye.

I don't know, Furia-sama.

"... uhh... idiot!"

Havel's voice is pale, and Furia-san's shoulders are shaking.

Havel has a tough message game, too.

"Why don't you talk to him yourself?"

Havel told me the same thing I thought he did.

At that time, Friae said, "Boo!He turned to me.

Long hair draws a big arc.

Takazuki Makoto!

He pointed at me.

"Yes, yes."

Staring straight at you, you unexpectedly stretch your spine.

"I will never allow the brave to return!In the name of the Queen of the Moon Land (Raphylog), I will interrupt your heroic return! "

"What about it?"

I don't know what that means.

Master Furiae, it is beyond your authority to speak out to other countries' personnel.

"Shut up! Let's go home, Havel!"

Having said that, Mr. Freyae left early.

"What the hell was that..."

I don't know, Lucy and I looked at each other.

"Sorry, Takazuki Makoto. Lucy, Aya, I'm sorry."

Havel greeted me politely the other day with an arrogant attitude.

Then, she left after Furiae-san.



Unsure, we went back to the inn.

The return leg is Lucy's spatial transition.

I was just about to discuss Friae's mysterious attitude at the party.

"An urgent request from the Adventurer Guild for two Guren fangs!!"

Suddenly, a bright red feathered bird jumped in through the window.

It is a magical bird and speaks fluent human language.

There was a small piece of paper tied around his leg.

I take it off with the hand that Sa-san is used to and read the contents.

"See you later, my pass."

"I can't do it-chan. The village of the Land of Water has been attacked by a swarm of dragons."

"Ah, no! I have to go!Aya, let's finish this by dinner! "

"Ohhh, rui-chan!Takatsuki-kun, wait a minute. "

That said, the two went in haste with the space transition.

(I wanted you to take me with you...)

I asked the two of you, but it seems Lucy is not yet accustomed to the space transition of the three.

Because of this, I was accidentally transferred to Furia-san earlier.

This time, it is unacceptable to be late for saving lives.

That's why I'm on the answering machine.

It is left in the room.

Are you going to see the Great Sage?

But the mansion of the Great Sage is located on the grounds of Highland Castle.

I don't think Highland Castle can get in alone.

I'm not a hero anymore.

...... Concon

They knock on the door.

"Go ahead."

And when I reply,

Oh, are you alone?

Princess Sophia came in unusually.

"Are we done for today?"

"No, I still have work to do, but I came to see your face."

"... are you resting?"

This princess is working too hard.

"It's okay, because some people are (...) bigger (...) weirder (...) than me...That's why I had a good look at Noel.Tomorrow, they're going to take some time. "

It's sudden.

I thought it would take a few days.

"Noel wants to thank you soon.You must have felt negative that it was the Goddess of the Sun who forced the brave Makoto to cross a thousand years ago alone.I was forced to make time. "

"I'm fine because I'm back safely."

Princess Sofia smiled at me.

“I thought you'd say that.But I'm sorry, Noel. "

I see.

Seriously.

The boulder is Anna's descendant.

Then we exchanged some information.

It seems that the Third Northern Expedition plan will be implemented soon.

but where is the lead of the plan?

Especially the country of the sun and the country of the moon are not good friends.

Given Highland's oppression of the Magus, it's only natural.

I don't think the plan is going to work out.

"It is said that the country that defeated the Great Demon King is the hegemon of the next continent.That's all I need, but there are even rumors of war over the hegemony of the western continent...Noel and Friae can't have a war..... "

Princess Sophia murmured melancholy.

Is there even such a rumor?

This seems to be a lot of trouble.

I talked about seeing Mr. Freyae.

Lucy's spatial transfer was accidentally transferred, and she was stunned by the boulder.

By the way, Friae doesn't seem to be up to Princess Sofia.

When we started the country, it was the country of water that gave us the most support.

The reason Friae was cold to me was because Princess Sofia leaned her neck unexpectedly.



I'll see you tomorrow.

After a while of conversation, Princess Sofia left the room.

I'm in a hurry.

I'm alone again.

Looking at the ceiling blurrily, it was Friae's attitude that bothered me.

He doesn't want me back as a brave man.

"I don't know what you're thinking..."

I snapped in an empty room and fell asleep in bed with Goron.

This is a solitary remark, not an expectation of a reply.

That's why the question should disappear into the sky.....

"Answer me, my lord."

I heard a low voice passing through.

"Eh!?"

Jump out of bed and be alert in a hurry.

But there's no one like that.

"Who is it...?"

Hold the dagger and ask briefly.

"Why are you so nervous, Lord?"

"... what about...?"

When I heard it carefully, the voice came from my feet.

In my shadow, there are two small eyes glowing.

Then, a black creature popped up from the shadows.

It was a familiar black cat.

"Are you... lucky?"

A magical cat who once became my servant in the City of Water (McLaren).

But it's a black cat I missed more than me.

”I can't believe I've been forgotten... but I'm lonely”

…………

A black cat sighs loudly and swells.

I can't speak.

"What's the matter, Lord?By the way, I'm hungry, so I want fish. "

"What are you talking about normally!!"

I can't wait to see it.

Apparently, it was the black cat that changed the most after coming back to modern times a thousand years ago.
