Cliff walls that refuse to come.

It is the depressed and lush trees that spread at its feet. On the wind that carries the spring season when the blue buds sprout, down there, there is a hidden paradise where a wide variety of animals come in search of water, and further down, there is a forest, there is a river, and the flatlands where people live.

There is Cliff Mountain, a mountain near the capital, Ignor, in the approximate center of the Kingdom of Lykeberg. There was a group of people lurking and monitoring one of the villages at its foot on a slightly raised hill.

If it's a dirty outfit, it's a bandit targeting village hardware, and if it's a black outfit, it's likely to give you assassins and undercover detectives and a profession that suits you quite well.

But the group is dressed really awkward to hide themselves. As soon as you move, the armor will engage. Heavy equipment that will make a noise. Even the lashes reflect the sun's light well. It's more like telling me to find it than on a sunny day with no clouds like this.

But for them, that's the outfit. And, above all, with the power of his skills, he did not think that he would have to worry about being noticed because he could be monitored from afar.

"Captain, the subject won't even show up today. Are you sure you're in that village?

One of the scouts with far-sighted skills looks down on the village from the top of the hill and today again announces the same report. To such an unchanged report as the last few days, the man, called in physical condition, frowned for a moment, but immediately returns instructions.

"I guess he's hiding in the building. Keep watching."

"Ha."

When the scouts place their hands on their chests and salute them, they return to surveillance.

Their purpose would be the life of a certain person who would be there.

But that would be a good story to step into right now. And you can slash and kill your opponent with that sword. But they had a situation where they wouldn't step in there.

The reason is simple, because the village is where the strongest heroes of this country live.

"What... Ugh, you're lying..."

Suddenly one of the scouts raised a bewildered voice. Everyone on the spot reacts immediately to this voice and looks at it.

"Ha, Captain, I've been noticed at this distance. They're coming this way with great speed."

"That's what you should call an immortal hero...... all of them. Hurry up and get out of here."

When a man called the captain waved at the bah and tried to give instructions to leave - suddenly behind him the earthen smoke and the fierce falling noise went up.

"Huh...!

Everyone feels uncomfortable with that rising shadow as' No way... 'and the hero figure floats in its earthly smoke.

Small......

A small shadow that doesn't resemble what a hero looks like. But by contrast, there is a tingling air and a sense of intimidation from the shadows that makes me want to return my legs by accident.

"What are you guys doing here?

That was the voice of a man. But young. It sounds like a child.

On the other hand, the pressure not to say whether or not to ride that voice is not that of the child. My voice is trembling so angrily that I can see it even beyond my cloudy vision.

An unspeakable chill ran through his back. It's not easy for an attack to fly even now, but the fear of death that your neck will be dropped if you take your eyes off it.

Tension increases. I reach for my sword.

─ And that's when the air exploded.

That was due to magic activated by one of the crew members who could no longer tolerate heavy air. However, because of the unintentional strike with a hastily activated unchanging chant, its power is also low.

When it came to making that wind magic, it was all about getting rid of the smoke.

The boy who emerged from the soil and smoke tilts his neck in such a half-way attack.

"Is that an attack? Or did you clear your sight?

"Are you..."

The earthen smoke cleared and it was Ray who showed up from the inside. The face is as grumpy as you would see even with your parents' animosity, and I can't feel anything but a temper to cross this one.

I felt they said they wouldn't ask me excuses or anything.

Still, the captain couldn't help but say.

"Ray, it's been a long time."

"............ Mr. Gerk?

Pinching plenty of tame for three seconds, Ray accidentally stopped the sword movement he was about to pull out.

"Ray-kun, I'm not going to argue with you here and now. And now hurry up. We'll see about old friends later."

When Gerk says so quickly, he tries to move into the mountains.

But Ray broke in before that...

"... wait, Mr. Gerk. Why do you think I'm arguing with you? Wait, you attacked the Gilks? Are those guys safe? If not..."

The light that dwells in Ray's eyes, who lays questions early on in the arrow succession, gets cold. Continue the last word with a sword move.

"... then there's still no reason for us to argue with you"

"That's true, isn't it?

"Swear."

Ray's hand leaves the sword pattern.

"Go. If you don't have to contend, you better do it now"

"Thank you. It would be helpful if you stopped back there."

That being said, Gerk disappeared into the mountain trees with his men.

One minute after that.

"Ooh! You're Ray!

Ledik, Ray's father, jumped up over the hill. Appearing slightly over a cliff of about two hundred meters, he broke his face when he saw Ray.

"Yo, Dad. I'm home."

"Oh, come on. Looking good, good. What does it mean to tell Ome's parents nothing and go on an adventure? I was worried about you.

"... I told you absolutely."

I miss this exchange too.

Yes, Ray was frightened, but sincerely pleased to be reunited with his father.

"Were you? Well, whatever. Look, jeez. Mullah will be glad."

"Yeah."

Even though he was not that old anymore, and with some embarrassment, he was taken by Redick, who tried to pull his hand, and Ray stepped on his first birthplace in a long time.

I have a feeling that a new battle will begin again, with my skin feeling hiccups.

"Two years."

That said, I crawl into the scenery for the first time in about two years.

I miss how the village is, but I don't feel uncomfortable at all, because nothing has changed, including the faces I know?

"Oh, Ray, you're home"

"Oh, the village thug is back alone again."

Each and every one of the different villagers will give me a voice. It's a warm village. Really.

The village itself is full of warmth like one family.

Thus, how many years has it been since you walked in the village with your hands held? I don't want to let go when people see me, but I get screwed over by a grip like an asshole.

But I don't feel bad when I think that's what happened to my father.

I knew this guy was awesome.

Even a small thing like this, the difference between an adult and a child is something like this for me. I'm sure this won't happen anywhere else.

And while I remember the freshness and respect, let's keep that feeling closed now.

Hey, we're here.

I miss it and rejoice in it all after I've checked it out with these eyes.

"... oh"

Finally, with his hands released, he lays his hands on the door of a nostalgic house. Feeling like praying, when you open that door a little, what you hear as you go along is Gilk and Anna's sayin 'voice.

"So I'm telling you I can't move now! I can't do anything I can't!

"So don't do anything. What are you gonna do! Why don't you at least hit something or something? ⁉"

"I'm doing it if I can! But tell me what I can do now!

I don't know what we're talking about, but it just seems certain that we're rubbing something.

And at least they found out Gilk and Anna were safe. Then I'm sure the other two...

I move the hand I was stopping on the way and open the door to the end.

"Oh, Ray. You're really back."

It was my mother who first noticed me. She's as beautiful as ever, a beautiful mother, but she's so scared now.

This is it. That's my face when I was a little cocky.

"Your friend is here. I was just wondering if you could tell me to be a little quiet?

Copy that, sir.

Biscuit decided to salute me, and I went to the back room to escape.

"You guys, you're going to kill me!

When I made the sound and opened the back door, I grabbed the two staring mouths up with my hands.

Shut the fuck up! Before you listen to me, you're gonna get stuck!

"Oh, and the mochi!

"Hmmm!

"Ah, Ray!

He turned his face to the voice calling me as he held the two molesters down with all his might.

"Gold! Are you all right too! What about Shall? No Shall?

If these three are safe, I'm sure Shull is too.

"Sorry...... Ray"

But Gold missed his eye and apologized to me.

Why... why are you apologizing?

Unintentional force enters the body. It returns to me with a genuine tap of Gilk, both to the two who were holding him back and after a moment of self-loss.

"Wow, bad. The power..."

As I apologize, I let go of my hands, but for some reason I see the two of you far away. My body also lost its strength, and my head is kind of heavy.

"Ha-ha-ha, I thought you were gonna die. I'll tell you what, Charstena..."

I feel like I'm watching something in a story. Yes, I'm looking at myself from the outside. No...

"He's alive."

With that word, my vision returns. It feels as if, after a phantom departure, the body and mind came together.

"That's... that's true, right?

"In case you're in that situation, there's no way I can show my face like this before you, is there?

So is that.

"And don't worry, there's no one else involved. Sheitella's keeping it with the squirrels, so she's not here, but there's no way things are going to be on fire."

Does that mean the Lyckds and Seaterra are safe?

But Charstena is in a situation where Gold apologizes to me. Not the worst, but not the most fragrant situation.

You don't have to lose me, you can't stay calm.

"Talk. All"

My voice was cold and low. It was as if the eyes, which would not let go by capturing the gilk as if it were a threat to life, were also mixed with the light of someone else.

I'm stuck trying to get everything out of Gilk...

"You idiot!

"Huh!

A severe shock and pain ran on his head and the floor fell out. I look up, letting my legs bury me on the floor.

"Hey, what the hell, Dad!

I was pretty upset inside.

For the first time, my father beat me up. I felt confused and disobedient about the matter and yelled back.

Father with angry muscles on his forehead. I feel like I've never seen my father's face seriously angry.

I was disobedient, but my hands were trembling. For the first time, I thought my father was scared.

"That's the eye for Dachi! I didn't kill you a whole bunch of times ago!

"Killing...?

Was I giving you something like that?

Towards Gilk?

Me...?

"Ooh, apologize! To this blonde!

"Wow, sorry."

"All right!"

I didn't feel like I apologized while my dad kind of flushed me out, but it certainly doesn't point killing at my friends.

But when I think about Charstena... I can't stay calm. I can't help but be anxious and anxious.

The last voice I heard was in such a critical situation. There's no way I can stay calm.

The feeling may have unconsciously turned out to be killer.

I didn't know how to hear from Gilk and kept quiet with him buried on the floor.

"Ray, you told me that back in the day, didn't you?

To me like that. My father put his hand aside and lifted it, bringing up an old story.

"Whenever you want, you can afford to laugh."

…………

I've never heard of it... but I want to say something terrific. But it's very hard in this situation.

After being lifted up like they did when I was really little, and scolded in front of my friends, I'm sure I'd be the owner of a radish lined nerve if I could say that.

But...... I can afford to laugh at any time.

Dad says maybe that's not enough for me right now...... I'm sure.

I know I have to be calm with my head, but I can't be because I'm sure I can't afford it.

So I thought my father was saying that I could afford to be laughing.

And that's when I heard things fall in the room where my mother was preparing her meal.

I don't know, when my father and I looked across the door, my mother held her mouth and hung it on her desk. And for some reason, my eyes have tears.

"What's up, Mullah? Have you noticed?

Can you afford it? That could be a mean word. My father is always serious when it comes to his family.

"No, I feel like I've never seen you father before, and I think I'm gonna rip my chest off."

"My chest is going to rip. ⁉ That's nasty! I'll get Baba, so wait there, Mullah!

My father hurriedly dropped me and jumped out of the house. Probably went to get the only healer in the village.

".................. you're no different"

"Yeah, but that's what's good about him."

Really...

My father brought Mr. Kale, the first villager for me, to dinner as soon as he was bored. Of course, my army helped my mother, the absolute commander.

That's how we all started eating...

"Um, what about my (...) cute cute little skull? You haven't come back yet?

"My (...) cute little skull is going to Royal College this year. Because I'm 7 years old now."

Uh, you're already that old. I haven't seen you in two years, but do you admire your brother like you used to?

That's a little uneasy.

But then does Skull fall for the juniors of the Lycoods? Next time we see each other, let's just ask for it.

"By the way, I'm talking about being Ariel... Gilk. Just talk to me while you eat."

"Mogmog, I'll take care of it. First off, Mogmog, we, Mogmog, in this village, Mogmog, here we come, Mogmog."

"I knew you'd talk to me without eating"

Almost all I have to eat. I want you to be more clear about the on-off and let me talk to you.

"Gokun. First, let's talk about why we came to this village. In a nutshell, because that is the place where our country's heroes live in one place. This village is a special place in the country. Originally, security and defense within the kingdom are the work of the Knights of the Kingdom, but this is only done by villagers. It is the presence of two heroes that makes it possible."

You mean you're okay because there's a strong guy?

"No, because of the annihilation of a platoon of Knights who tried to stop the fight between the heroes"

"How dare you, Father?"

Me and Dick probably did the same thing, but you've done too much to wipe out the platoon! Besides, aren't you the former Knight Commander of One-Pointed? ⁉

"Well, anyway, after all that's happened, this is not an easy place for a country."

"... why? Neither my father nor Dick's father would suddenly get their hands on a knight coming in, would they?

"Hey, I didn't do anything basic. Graham's on his own."

Look, my dad doesn't hurt anything else. Very occasionally travelers visit this village, and even knights stop by occasionally.

What Gilk is saying is off target.

"Sure, there's nothing wrong with just stopping by. But if we're going to start a fight there, we're going to turn the hero against the enemy. It's not politically or forcefully preferable"

"Uh, you know what? Does that mean your enemies are in the country, or inside that country?"

I stopped eating and tilted the chair a little.

Apparently, this time the enemy is not an unidentified opponent. Things are going smoothly for that matter... can't you tell me anything without checking with them?

"So, who attacked you guys?

It's my brother's SS.

"Which brother? No, I don't know any brother."

"It's my oldest brother. I guess I couldn't forgive my father's will for deciding that I would be the next king. He's been working hard to be king for a long time. He's coming to kill me if everything goes to waste."

The king is dead. Are you serious? So, Gilk is the next king...?

Even a spider's nest grows on my head... Is there no way?

Fact is, these guys got their lives targeted for that.

Still, that SS seems pretty strong. I can't believe I let Charstena and the others choose to escape. I don't think they were in the group earlier.

"... largely understood. Gilk said his brother was after the next king's throne, and Anna and the others were just caught up in it."

It's starting to sound kind of frigid. I don't know what touched the king's harp line in Gilk, but it's also a strange story to say suddenly in a will.

Or this is how you want them to fight...

Either way, you're going to be able to cross the line with that SS.

"So, is Shall being caught by those guys now?

"I don't know. But it won't be the first thing that's been killed. If you do that, her parents won't shut up."

"But is it possible that he's being held captive,"

I'm worried. I'm so worried.

What worries me, because all that is now is speculation, and we are only talking about possibilities. Even now, to find Shall...

Boo!

The magic fixture that was in my chest made an uncomfortable noise and trembled.

"Fart?"

"Because it's not a fart!

I shouted out unexpectedly because the sound was too similar. I took the magic out of my chest pocket without hesitation, thinking this sound was a wax...

"Ah... and what am I supposed to do with this?

I don't know how to use it and show it to the gilk that was next door. Then Gilk pushed one of several protrusions on the magic fixture at the tip of his finger, squeezing his jaw and signaling him to talk.

"Ah, testes. Can you hear me?"

"Good day, Lord. Will there be Prince Gilk there too?

"Oh, there he is. First, we were all safe here. Tell Haku later."

Place the demon stone in front of your mouth, use it like a transceiver, and take a gaze at the gilk next to you to see if this is okay.

Gilk then nodded back unh-unh as he reached for the bread in the center of the table.

Stop eating.

With those words in my chest, I thought about what it meant to be in touch from the other side.

"Did you get any information?

"Kukuku, as usual, I'm good at guessing. In the last few days, disturbances in the kingdom have been in the ears forever. On top of that, as soon as I communicated to convey the information that the Lord would need '

That's great. I'm working fast.

"Thanks, Cecil. Can you just tell me what's going on with Charles right now?

"The location of Charstena Rhinork is the Rhinork family mansion. Looks like he's under house arrest."

Solid survival news.

I was finally able to exhale relief when I found out what was going on with Charstena.

Is he under house arrest at home? Not a bad deal. Then you don't have to rush. Slowly and carefully set up the operation.

"What else, information?

'Hmm, let's start with the situation in the Wang capital. Prince Gilk is now dead in the capital. "

"What...?

"No, stop looking at me like you were dead. He's alive."

Oh, good. You've been in a hurry lately because you can talk to haunted people.

'And with that in mind, the next king is being determined by Prince Janis. If you look at all this, you're pretty sure it was Prince Janis who targeted Prince Gilk. But I'm a little concerned. "

"What information?

"No, I don't know for sure yet, but there seems to be some confusion about the prince and his surroundings. It seems closer to a one-sided mistake than a... '

Cecil's voice clouds. It makes me feel less confident than usual because of it.

I asked Cecil over the devil after I'd only gotten up a little bit in my heart.

"Tell me more"

'Hmm, in the information I have obtained, Prince Janis was such an ideal prince who thinks of the people and moves forward to make the country better. But the actions here these days have been somewhat violent and just lacking in thought. So when I put in the exploration, I found out that the beginning of this disturbance was caused by the rampage around me. "

In other words, the current structure is not Gilk vs. Janis, but a group that wants Gilk vs. Janis to be king?

Thinking about it, that group that was monitoring this village...

"Cecil. In it, what's the name of someone named Gerk?

'Give me a minute. The name Gerk... Hmm, it's on the list. It's like being at the center of a vortex. "

After hearing the sound of perplexing and turning the paper, Mr. Gerk was told by Cecil's mouth that he was one of the enemies.

I knew I shouldn't have let you get away with it?

But when it comes to killing each other with someone I know...

"... ok. You think Mr. Gerk's the mastermind?

'No, it's too early to be conclusive. It smells so bad. "

Is that it? No?

Is there more suspicious in the back?

"Hmm. Where are you hooked, by the way?

"The beginning of things. Is the will of the late king too pale?"

"Will? Too pale?

You've probably spoken to me.

But right. Considering that this is someone else's conspiracy, it's no strange story from the beginning.

"The full text of the king's will is' The next king is Gilk '. That's all.'

"What's pale is, it's not weird. You don't want to write a will or anything, you just wrote what you wanted to tell me."

The will left by the king is indeed pale. But the meaning is clear. Personally, I'm not uncomfortable.

What makes me uncomfortable is that Gilk has been named the next king.

I've heard it many times from Gilk's mouth. I said spare, that's spare again.

Saying so pessimistically, this guy didn't have the mindset to be king or anything.

And yet, how could the king have chosen such a man as king?

I just don't think I have eyes to see. Nothing. I'm not saying Gilk's not for the king. However, I think there will be someone more deserving. So I thought that was the part where Cecil felt it smelled pretty bad, but apparently not.

"Kuck, maybe. But when I've been an informant for years, it stinks and it comes true. It also has the stench of a nose. '

I'm not sure about the stench, but I think he's complaining that he's too pale as an informer.

"Well, if you want to find out, you can do whatever you want. But I'm not going to get involved in the country, so I'm going to ask for it."

I put the magic fixture in my hand on my desk, put my arms together, and now I try to organize the information once.

The Kingdom of Lykeberg has three pillars. Three things: kings, nobles, and kingdom knights.

The king sets the policy of the country, and the nobility assumes various roles, such as politics and trials. Except they have very little force. Of course there are minimal escorts or private soldiers. Overall, that would be quite a few.

But the full powers of the Knights of the Kingdom, which will be the greatest power of this country, are given to the Knights Commander, who will only move to eliminate the dangers of this country.

In other words, there is no power struggle. So, it won't intensify, and even if the dead come out, it will fit on a scale of dozens or hundreds.

Even in this case, only the people around the prince are moving. That, too, is only a dispute that is likely to subside if Prince Janis becomes king. It doesn't always seem like a bad thing, and if you can avoid it, it's better.

When that happens, it's the same thing no matter who the man who's trying to make Prince Janis king is. The point is, all you have to do is give Gilk the throne to his brother.

Later, how do we get Charstena out of house arrest... other than her parents' persuasion? Take a treat and say hello here.

If they push me back, let me go in the middle of the night.

When summed up, there are two things you have to do.

It's Gilk's persuasion and a greeting to Charstena's parents.

That's how the information was organised and the future policies were compiled. But I still didn't realize that at this time.

There's something missing.

"All right, Cecil's got us largely on policy. Quickly, have a meeting..."

"Lord, we still have the funniest story left."

When I tried to untie my arms, communicate my policies to everyone and ask them for their opinions, the devil in front of me played a disturbing spiritual.

"Somehow, am I the only one with a bad feeling?

"That's an odd encounter, so am I."

I know a man named Cecil. Me and Gilk agreed. You can say for sure that it's not a busy thing.

"Kukuku, let's keep you up to date with what was just announced a moment ago."

Why would it be useless to say that you have such an update on the habit of being far removed from the king's capital than we do... Let's be honest.

"Earlier, the king's capital was touched."

You touched it.

I wonder what it is? Like Prince Janis became king?

I listen to Cecil as I think about things in my head...

"Tomorrow at noon, Prince Janis and Charstena Rhinork will perform their marriage ceremony." Baki!

If I had noticed, I would have smashed the demon.
