Extraordinary – Ordinary – Soap!

As well as passing through the streets along the sea and through a number of cities and villages, the scenery was not white but slowly faded.

After purifying Maynard's heavenly crystal tree, I also thought during my return to Artad, I really can't even see the demonic shadow anymore and I feel strange. And then again, I think it was time after the purification that I saw the carriages and the shadows I didn't see.

"Peace be upon you…………………"

Unexpectedly, he squeaked, caging his strength in the arm that Mr. Ceres turned to his torso and gently hugging him.

"You made me feel at peace. You and the Virgin."

I don't see anything frightening about the look on the faces of people going down the street. I make it normal to be in the city. Neither were the carriages that would go out, nor the ones that took the escorts in a rush, but some that were simpler.

When the fear of demons left, I felt in my skin that people were free and full of vitality in this way.

In doing so, the area turns into a familiar landscape.

When I saw the castle I missed in the distance, I held my breath unexpectedly.

He said he was back.

I thought again that I didn't have to be scared of nightmares by myself anymore.

During this journey, you will have Mr. Ceres on your side, day and night, and you will never be alone when your eyes wake up. The days when my eyes woke up and I could see the face of the first person I loved surely healed me, but the feeling that I was back was also extraordinary.

"Ah!"

Standing in front of the south gate facing the street, the soldiers there looked louder at Mr. Ceres' face. One is more like, "I'm calling you!" I ran screaming, and the other one who was left was more complimentary in letting me through. Is it okay to check your ID or something? Is it an exemption in the Knights' squad uniform?

With that in mind, I'll creep through the South Gate. Then the soldiers who were gatekeepers slammed their knees to the ground.

"Welcome back! We look forward to your return!

I can't believe you're waiting so long, Mr. Ceres, it's so awesome!

Looking at Mr. Ceres next door thinking so, he returned a gentle smile.

"To Lucia."

"Huh?"

When I couldn't swallow the meaning well and asked back, my hands were on my head wearing a hood of pong and cold proof clothes.

"I want you to say it from me, too. Lucia, Welcome Back"

"Right. Welcome back, miss. Good luck. They'll be waiting for you."

Again, "Welcome Back," I cry. Really, I can't help but loosen my tear glands after I reunite with Mr. Ceres.

"Thank you very much. I'm home now!

When you meet the gatekeeper and walk out toward the royal castle, you will be surrounded by the people of the city you bothered to visit before you go any further.

"Welcome back! Virgin!"

"I've been waiting for you to come home!

"Now it's time to be happy with your hero!

We met with an unexpected welcome, but speaking of which, I recall that Mr. Beeche said that our story was in play in the Wang capital. I don't know what stories are spreading, but at least they're definitely welcome. But... I'm terribly embarrassed.

I pressed my collar tightly so that the hood of my cold suit wouldn't come off. You're welcome, but because you're welcome, you hesitate to expose your shortened hair.

"Oh, you're here. Here, take a look."

When I was restless, I heard a voice calling my name from the direction Mr. Gaius pointed.

"Lucia!

Having heard the voice I wanted to hear again, I confirmed the direction in which my voice spoke so that it could be played, and I called the person's name.

"Maria!

Maria, who has slammed up the hem of her skirt and ran at full speed, comes all the way to me to push the hedge.

"Lucia! Lucia, Lucia...... Lucia ah!

Maria jumped on my neck, crying and calling my name - but I looked at Maria like that. Because...

"Maria, why!? Why is your hair so short to Maria!?"

Maria's hair, which was up to her waist, was severely shortened, just like mine. Is it a little longer than me? It is cut to length enough to cross the shoulder.

Asked as she hugged Maria back, Maria says, tearing up and crying.

"Because Eli said that this world is so heavy about getting your hair cut, so I cut it off. When Lucia comes back, I wouldn't be noticeable if I were too short, would I? Interesting."

"Did you hang up on that?!?"

"It will matter!? Lucia, I don't like it when only Lucia gets hurt! You know, there's no such thing as cutting your hair. In my world, it's fashionable to cut. There are so many shorter people. So let's enjoy Lucia's short hair too. It's cute, short too. It's Artad, it's starting to fashion now. Because cutting your hair is such nonsense that equals dying socially. It's strange that only women have such disadvantages."

Maria seemed to have cut important hair just to think of me.

The feeling was delightful and I was glad to see her again, and I hugged Maria and raised my voice and cried.
