Another year after that.

I see.

Spirit Village —— Philip Mansion.

Philip the Spirit King and Vincent had a conversation.

"The moon and the sun are flowing fast."

"The past year has been a turbulent day.It's not impossible to feel that way. "

They both said without changing their expressions.

(When I talk to this guy, I feel a little itchy.Stubborn, but... somehow, you're looking at yourself.)

Philip distorted his face with that in mind.

This year.

After the demon king was defeated, the world gradually regained calm.

(The Kingdom of Berkhaim was originally hostile to other countries.No matter how long it takes to go to war.)

Philip thinks.

(But... ironically, by joining forces with Lynchgi Ham to defeat the Demon King... my heart became one.Now, the two countries are quite close.)

The only concern is that the incompetence of the next king, His Majesty Claude... has been gradually resolved.

Everything seems to have changed Claude's mind and turned him into something different.

(When I went to the kingdom to pay attention ─ ─ it seemed like a lie.Well, that's how big the Lynchgiham is going to be.)

Anyway, it's good for the world to be peaceful - yes, Philip concluded.

Vincent, for Vincent's sake, Nakamura is coming.

Please keep it down

"... thank you, but I think I got a flower necklace when I came here?Why are you giving me so many presents? "

Looking ahead, Al and Mars, the children's spirits, came and covered Vincent with a flower crown.

Although Vincent didn't smile at all, he seemed somewhat happy.

He is slightly less likely to have emotions on his face.

That was a well-known fact among the spirits.

Vincent, you're a monkey from the time of Kikura.

We can understand it too

Al and Mars talk.

"Absolutely... when I come here, the fact that I am called the Duke of Ice and feared by some seems to be a lie.Well, that's fine.... "

Vincent sighs.

(I thought the first impression was of a cold man, but I don't think so.Anyway, Al and Mars miss this much.I'm sure he's kind.)

Seeing that figure, Philip thought so.

At Nigel's suggestion, Vincent is the guardian of the spirits.

In the past year, Philip has been deeply involved with Vincent.

Sometimes he tells me, "We should put a little more effort into armaments here," and I've had a fight about it... but it's not like we're ever bad friends.

Until now, no one had ever advised Philip of such a thing.

Therefore, Vincent's presence was valuable to Philip as he frankly confronted his opinions in that way.

(As a result, the village has become richer and richer.Everyone seems to be living with peace of mind... and I really need to thank Vincent —— and Nigel and the others.)

Al and Mars are flying around Vincent's head.

"Don't bother Vu (...) or Mu (...) too much"

Yes.

I can't wait-

Philip was embarrassed, and Al and Mars flew away somewhere.

"Nothing. I'm glad."

"That's not going to work either.Besides, it's time to leave.But... I wasn't expecting Vince to accept Al and Mars.Somehow... there was an image that you weren't good at that. "

Me? Huh!

Blasting Vincent.

I like cute things, don't I?

"... even more surprising. You haven't said a word about that before, have you?"

"He didn't ask."

Put your arms together, Vincent, who looks disgusted.

Speaking of which... I hear that Elaine gave her an amulet when she took the pharmacist's exam.

Called the Duke of Ice, he has the image of being isolated... but it may not be surprising.

In the past year, Philip had a strong sense of it.

Hmm. So, let's go.

Vincent stood up.

Now —— Philip and Vincent were dressed more neatly than usual.

Vincent is dressed in pale blue.

Men are too beautiful, but those who see will lose their words.

On the other hand, at first glance, Philip doesn't look very different from usual.

However, she wore a black bow tie on the neck.Other costumes were more gorgeous than usual.

"That's right, but... it's hard to move these clothes."

"It's the clothes I prepared for you.Besides... it looks good on you. "

"Ha ha, even if you tell me, I'm half happy.I wanted him to tell her anyway. "

"Fu, I can't help thinking that."

That's right.

She went far away, and Philip had that feeling.

(Well, apparently I really liked her.However, when I think of her, my chest is twitching.This feeling...?)

Spirit King ─ ─ I still don't know the love.

Philip still didn't know that it was a feeling similar to a love affair.

"What's the matter, Spirit King?"

"......! Nothing"

But Philip immediately reversed his expression.

"Let's get out of the village. If I'm late, Nigel will get mad at me."

Must be it.

The two laughed a little and left the room behind.
