A cheerful spring breeze flows from the mountains into the city through the meadows. It's a breeze that feels just a little cold, but it's warm as if it'll ease your anxiety.

"You've taken care of a lot, guys"

Taking a dragon car named Carriage, me and Haku, Haruki, Knitting, the suspicious, and then the Luxerians, in front of the gates of the city of Arctia, were bidding farewell to the people who had taken care of them.

Our next destination is Ignor, king's capital of the Kingdom of Lykeberg. It's a memorable place to be my second home. I couldn't help but wonder about the light coming up from that direction the other day, and I decided to travel quickly without setting that day off from the Brave Return.

Of course, Cecil has gathered information about the pillar of light, but it's not very aromatic. All we know is that it has risen in the undeveloped area that hits the off-limits zone and that there is now a strict vigilance around it.

Later there were so many ridiculous stories about the king dying or Gilk about to be king...... I care about the undeveloped neighborhood.

The Knights are out there, and I don't think there's anything to worry about because Dick is here, but I'm going to go to the King's Capital to see the Shalls just in case.

And then, this isn't my business, but Luxeria also said she wanted to go to Lykeberg and make a final decision because she had seen enough of the Empire's first life.

Perhaps, Luxeria hesitated to join the Empire's umbrella because there was slavery. Of course, it's not as terrible as the Kingdom of Gong, and it's not the same slavery because the only one who commits a crime is going to be, but the only thing I still repel is maybe I can't help but think of him who's been fighting to get rid of it.

But that's why I think Luxeria likes the Kingdom of Lykeberg.

There is no slavery, and there is almost no difference in identity. It's a wonderful country where kicking a prince in the leg won't be any sin.

I'm sure you'll like it.

Well, that's only Luxeria's purpose, so leave it aside, I want to see everyone, too, and most importantly, I have to pick up Charles. I have a little time until Rykud promises, but staying there for a year or so is not a bad idea.

... Just a little bit, I'm scared that she'll convince me of the answers I gave, but then the only way to escape is to disparage herself if the answers I gave are wrong.

I'll see you properly, and I'll say it with my chest up.

That's how I feel new, cut out my goodbyes.

"Well, it's time for us to go."

Everyone had already predicted that they would have broken up, and the breakup would only last forever, so I rushed over to me, trying to travel early, like Lucy had panicked.

"Oh, wait, Mr. Kitchick. Please take this."

"Yeah? What is this?

What Lucy had handed me was a bracelet.

"It's an amulet. Think of that as me... hey, why are you trying to give it back! Oh, stop, don't try to screw me into your pocket!

"No, because Charles is going to piss me off..."

I pushed my bracelet back to Lucy early in the part where I thought it was me. Still resisting, I was forced to put it in my pocket...

"Oh already, Mr. Kitchick is terrible after all! That's a very sturdy translation bracelet, isn't it? I'm sure it'll help with Mr. Kittick's journey."

"Whoa! Seriously, Lucy! I feel like I've never thanked you before!

"That's an appreciation, isn't it?

Right, was this good stuff?

I thought it was a cursed item frame presented to my dads one day.

"Thanks, Lucy. Next time I come, I'll bring you something in return."

"Then there's the ring with the jewels..."

"Whoa, whoa. That's a collar with a demon stone. I'll make a special order."

"That doesn't have to be a little bit, it's the one who's going to be Ababa, right? ⁉ ●"

You're the one who will.

Well, let's put the joke down and buy something worthy of this besides the ring.

I have to return the favor I received.

"Well, now it's really time for us to go. Everybody's fine. Especially Ghoul, don't just be impotent, okay?

"Yeah! My brother Ray's fine, too! The next time I see you, I'll be the brave one!

"Oh, I'm looking forward to it"

Ghoul was to be kept by Lucy's house. Originally, the Hulkath family was given the role of brave selection, and they adopted excellent children, and this time Ghoul was to join them.

The Hulkaths have some crazy homework, but other than that, they're good people, so I decided to ask them for a ghoul. Most importantly, it will be a good stimulus for Ghoul, as he often associates with the Brave Army.

I turned my back on them as I supported in my heart that the dream of Ghoul, whose body and heart had grown bigger, would come true since we met.

"Come on. 'Boo!'... Cecil...?

Breathe, it was about the arrow tip I was about to leave. A sound slightly closer to the siren than the vibrating sound of his phone rang from around Cecil's chest.

I couldn't get rid of the feeling of being interrupted, and I called Cecil's name in a grumpy manner.

"Lord, I'm sorry. Emergency call."

"Emergency contact?

From who?

I mean, how?

And as everyone else as well as me tilted their necks, what Cecil took out of her chest pocket was a communication device.

"Dude, where did you get that..."

"Kuck, it's an auction. Hmm, apparently the call came from Prince Gilk. Can I ask you something here?

"I don't mind, just hurry up"

Damn, it was Gilk who got in the way. Is that prince really... urgent?

There was an alarm in me. Almost at the same time. It was a fierce explosion that flowed from the communications device.

"─ ─ Can you hear me? ⁉

"This is Prince Gilk. Looks like you're in a lot of trouble."

"What's so long... ugh! Hey, Gilk! It's me, it's Ray! What's going on over there?

I took the magic from Cecil, who spoke at length despite the anomaly, and called out loudly.

"Ray! You go to Sierra Village now... '

"Gilk! What are you doing? ⁉ Go quickly!

Is that Anna's voice?

He got caught up in something too...

"I'm talking to Ray right now!

"Ray, Ray, Ray's over there."

Definitely. That's... that's Charles' voice. Are we all involved...?

"Char ⁉ Hey, Gilk! What happened over there?

"─ Gilk! Absolutely, avoid it!

"Ah, Ku 'Baggi' Ts..."

Destructive sound like something was broken right after the scream of Gold. Thereafter, the communication device continues to play a high tone so as to look for uninterrupted communication.

"... Damn! What the hell is going on!

When I threw the communication device back at Cecil, I immediately retrieved the world map from the storage space.

"Hey, Ridge, don't you have to go fast? I don't have time to relax and look at the map..."

"So I'm watching! Cecil, what part of this map is this now?

I spread the map to the ground with Ba and yelled and saw where Cecil's fingers pointed.

"Hmm, is it around here?"

"So this is the shortest route to Wangdu?"

Take out the azimuth magnet, put it on top of the map, check the direction...

"Luxeria, Haq. I'm sorry, but I'm going to Wangdu first. I asked for Haruki and the others. Be sure to rendezvous there"

"Okay. I don't know what's going on, but we'll rendezvous as soon as possible."

Luxeria showed a slightly stretched face. He immediately admitted that he didn't seem willing to pinch his mouth just because the situation was.

"Lord, you should take this. It's a spare communications device."

"Oh, Thanksgiving. I'll ask Gilk how to use it."

I took the magic trick I received as I thanked him early and put the flying hack on my hand.

"Haku's going too!

"Bad, Huck. I can go faster on my own. Now is the time to go back as soon as possible. I'm gonna leave you, but forgive me."

"Pi......"

Huck rang anxiously small. I lowered the hack to the ground and gently placed my hand on my head.

"Sorry, Huck. I'll definitely do something about it."

"Haku Chases Me Too"

"Oh, rendezvous in the king's capital."

Also, I'm sorry that I left Haku behind. In contrast, even if you want to line up your apologies, it's a waste of time.

However, I couldn't help but be anxious to leave the Spring Trees in the same way. It's not that I'm anxious to leave it to my trusted companions. I was just anxious that you couldn't protect these guys who stayed for me on the side.

Because there is absolutely no more word in this world than being alive.

Did the two of you feel such a little anxiety agile,

"Ridge, you don't have to worry about us. Even so, the battle against demons is getting pretty heavy."

"That's right. Because I'm not going to be weak either. Never mind. Go."

"That's just bad, guys"

At a time like this, I thanked my people for sending me out without complaining, and I looked up across the sky.

"Well, guys, I'm going first! I'll see you in Wang Du!

That said I jumped up big and at the same time I wrapped my demon costume around my leg and contracted in a good way.

"Momentum!

Fixed spaces are scaffolded and simultaneously divergent and instantaneous.

With the acceleration it created, it ran through the sky in an instant and beyond.

The instantaneous isokinetic function killed air friction and I jumped through the empire with that speed.

"Wait...... Huh! I'll be there in a minute..."
