The girl called herself Nell.

From what she's told, this is a camp for refugees who have lost their homes.

"People, there are more and more of them." Where did oniisan come from? "

When I answered, "... from the Kingdom of Laez," Nell said, "You're with me," and laughed a little happily.

As she took me along the river, I hit a lot of tents.

As Nell said, there were more than a hundred people living there.

Women sewing on old cloths and men dismantling caught wild animals are scattered around.

The cooking up of the church is not enough. They have established a means of self-sufficiency in their own way.

Many of them were seen injured.

"I don't think it's just from hunting, obviously, it's a bigger wound from violence..."

It's easy to tell without asking who took their home.

No other country in the world is more at war than Daimler.

I'm the best person in the world who shouldn't be here.

But what happened to me... At least I couldn't leave without grasping where this camp is.

"Ashamed, I decided to hide my identity..."

I have a representative here.

Nell said in front of the other tents.

“New residents are set to meet with their representatives.”

"... oh, let's say hello whether we live or not."

And as he entered into the tent, about forty years old a man was sitting in the back of the tent.

It was originally done by a hunter, with a strong body, and deep wrinkles were engraved between his eyebrows.

However, there was something soft in his eyes, and there was a strong and gentle atmosphere that many people seemed to admire.

"Oh, Nell, are you new?"

"Yeah, I found him sleeping in the city garbage pile."

"That's a lot of falling asleep." But Nell, I told you not to go to the city alone. What if Hagre finds you? "

"... I'm sorry"

Nell loosens her mouth like she's in trouble.

"I've found someone. This time, I'll take a big look at it with that gesture.... So, you're young. You must be tired. Why don't you sit down for now?"

I gave him a light rendezvous and pitched my throat in front of the man.

The man scrubbed his unstretched beard gently,

"... you look so good." Where did you come from? "

"... an irresistible junior nobleman." No matter how poor you are, it's hard to keep your clothes on for just a minute. "

Without cowardice or cynicism, I can say this.

The man laughed lightly, "Haha."

"I'm Jacob. For now, we're over this camp. What about you?"

"... this is Jack, the last name doesn't make sense anymore, just the first name."

Man: Jacob rolled his eyes a little.

"This is a strange edge." It's a very similar name, isn't it? "

"I think it's a common name."

"Maybe, but it's important." No matter how trivial the edge, it's not this time of year. "

The edge?

To be sure, it's too difficult a world to live alone.

"Where did you come from? The city with the garbage pile you slept in--it used to be abandoned a long time ago. Sometimes [Hagre] also wanders around, so you can't live there, right?"

Hagre?

"Don't you know? It's a monster. It's a Hagre monster."

... a monster outside the command of the army is still alive on the ground.

The monsters created in the [Labyrinth of Trials] to redeem animals were led by the [Incomplete Dictionary].

However, after all, if you have enough, something will come out that will fall off somewhat. Some of them are out of the control of the [indispensable dictionary]...

They're attacking people on the ground based on their survival instincts.

Monsters away from the Daimkuld naturally return to their original animals.

That's why I abandoned it as a matter of course... "

"... Actually, I can barely remember fainting before."

I say it, disgusted by my vileness.

"I don't know where I came from... I don't know where I am." barely, to the extent that I can recall my background.... "

"Hmm... I see. That was a tough one." Well, I don't know what to say, but don't worry. There's a lot of people like you. Some of them can't remember who they were.... "

The explanation, which is only suspicious in nature, is accepted as a matter of course.

I was dazzled by the fact.

"This is the northwestern part of the Kingdom of Laez, a short distance from the border with Rowe." There are many evacuees from Rowe these days, but you must be Laez by name. "

"Do you know anything...?" I don't know where I came from... but it doesn't matter if it's trivial. "

"I see. When I saw a young man dressed like you, a report would have come to me right away..." Speaking of recent events, yes... I've heard reports of shooting stars falling. "

Shooting star?

"Just before dawn. Some of them said the stars were falling from the sky. Well, if it were you, I'd be on the ground by now."

Having said that, Jacob laughed lightly.

That's what I think behind my back.

I fell. Where did I come from? There is only one. There is no land in the sky but Dymkuld.

... my memory is broken when I tried to get into Daimkurud to save Helmina.

Something happened.

Something happened in Dymkuld.

We should go back.

Fortunately, we know the approximate location here. I also remember the location of the gaoki.

If we rendezvous with the Azerbaijanis and Vinnie left behind in the harem, we'll find out more.

Let's leave early.

That's what I thought.

"People falling from the sky, it's like Ogasaki." Is it even in the country above the clouds? "

Jacob said something very uncomfortable.

"... um..."

"Hmm?"

"You... don't know about Daimkuld?"

Jacob frowned weirdly.

"I'm twitching." Are you talking about some kind of book? "

He didn't know.

You can't be unaware of it.

They would have lost their homeworld.

I didn't remember Daimkurud or the Demon King's army.

Then, I asked some refugees about it, but no one knew the place name "Daimkuld" or the title "Demon King".

I knew that there was a Hagre monster, but when I asked him what it was that made me detach from, everyone leaned their necks.

It didn't happen.

The world has not changed fundamentally, as Rachel did when she woke up in the Holy Fiarmer Empire.

Even though there is real evidence of "Hagre", only the presence of Daimkurud and the Demon King is like a puzzle with missing pieces.

Could it have something to do with my lack of memory?

I decided to stay in the refugee camp to gather a little more information.

"Oniisan, oniisan, let's play together?"

The first girl who found me, Nell, pushed me and walked around the camp with her.

Perhaps to secure drinking water, the camp is built along the river.

As he moved to the river, Nell crouched down and began to search for beautiful stones.

"I was good at it." Find a beautiful stone. I got a lot of compliments from my father and mother. "

Looking down at that little back, it just stacks up.

Phil.

Samygina.

About the two girls who were used in life by my naked sister...

... this is not the time to be soaked in sentimentality.

Chill out, I need information right now.

"Where's your... father and mother?"

"He's dead."

While throwing away the stones, Nell said so lightly.

"Suddenly, I heard a lot of scary voices from the city..." At that time I went to the outskirts of the city to play. I thought my father and mother were in danger... but I was stopped by an adult. "

The stupid words were unnatural and emotionless.

It was as empty as withered.

”If I were just... oneesan... could I have gone to the rescue?”

The murmur was as uncertain as Yamahiko's.

I'm sure you've said it over and over again.

Repeatedly, repeatedly, and scraped off, a reverberation from the depths of my chest.

"A curse that will tie up her life forever..."

I tried not to think about people like her.

Anyway, it's all my sister.

You don't have to think - don't think.

That's how I fulfilled the demon king.

Oh... it's the same.

Again, I think so.

A bandit who doesn't think of people as people, Vicki.

Lavinia Fitzgerald, who had the children in her collection.

"And my sister who killed all my friends and acquaintances..."

I've hated those wicked people more than anything, and I'm no different now.

No, it's a lot worse than them.

I didn't even hesitate to destroy all of humanity.

Now that you've changed your mind, your sins will not go away.

They are alive.

My damaged life is still going on.

Is there a way to make amends?

You don't even deserve to gently clutch this lonely girl's body.

"... oniisan"

Suddenly, Nell stood up and offered me some clenched hand.

I'll give it to you.

In the small open hand was a hole and a beautiful round stone.

"This..."

"Oniisan, you looked so sloppy."

Huh?

Nell nodded.

"When I came here, so did I." But when I looked at the beautiful stone, I gradually became dizzy. "

"... I see..."

So... you took me out.

When I looked at the sparkling stone, I felt like I was being lit up.

I'm sure it's not a stone light.

Her kindness wiped away a little of my [makura]...

I don't deserve to be consoled.

However, there is still a light in this world that can illuminate even me like this.

I'm sure that's something... you can't stop doing.

”... we'll definitely create a world where you don't have to feel sad”

Grabbing a rock, I told him.

Nell leaned her neck slightly,

"... really?... can I see my mothers again?"

"No... I can't promise you that." But... someday, when you become your sister and your mother, don't feel the same way... we'll do our best as adults. "

Son of a bitch?

Tilted his head again, Nell grinned.

Adults don't cry, do they?

I've finally noticed that tears are passing through my cheeks.

"... I see. I see."

Neither my dad nor my mom-- never wept till the end.

Well, so am I.

I wiped my eyes and took a step away from Nell.

That's enough information for now.

"Nell, I'm leaving now."

Fluffy, feet lifted from the ground.

Nell looked up at me with a slight surprise.

"Be happy."

Even if I don't qualify.

I'm sure this wish is not a mistake.

"As if your father and mother could think that you were lucky to be alive..."

At least I'll make this real.

Lightly touching the stretched Nell's hand, I levitated into the blue sky.

◆◆◆―――――――◆◆◆ ―――――――◆◆◆

"Ah....."

Nell stopped reaching into space.

There is nothing in the blue sky.

However, the white clouds slowly flowed.

I pulled my outstretched hand back.

Then he stares at the armor and leans his neck.

"I... what were you doing?"

There is nothing in the blue sky.
