Out of the magic lab, we were once again coming to the main street of the Spirit City.

"Well, Mr. Cattleya told me about all the hot springs I recommended, but do you want to start searching for an inn"

"Yes, sir."

"For once, there's a bunch of places to stay around here, so why don't you go around a few? There's also an inn with hot springs."

"Oh, that might be good too"

Though I don't have anywhere else I'd like to stay.

It's a corner, so you might want to stay in an inn with those city-specific amenities.

... That's the flavor of the journey, too.

Oh, my God.

"... best friend. Something's wrong with people's movements."

Daisy started saying that.

Said, looking ahead of Daisy's gaze, there were a lot of people walking down the boulevard. But I do feel uncomfortable with the movement, as I did earlier.

"Yeah, you're moving like you're avoiding something"

"Do my best friends think so, too? Is there something over there? 」

"It doesn't look like the Warcraft has broken in..."

If a warcraft came into the city, it would be a more hasty move. It should be more noisy, but now I have some blurring.

... some kind of event?

While I thought, the boulevard crowd cracked and I saw the other side.

Then I was there,

「 …… 」

He was a big man with two horns on his head.

It is also painted with red and black blood on the face and upper body.

It was silently situated in the middle of the boulevard, with an unusual atmosphere.

Because you saw me like that, and there was a stirring voice near me, too.

"Hey. Are you all right, that ghost man? It's all bloodstained...? 」

"Uh, no, you, come to this city. The sun is shallow. That's not a problem at all, because it's been a recent sight."

"Oh, really? No, it's true that everyone in the city just walks away somewhat, doesn't seem particularly concerned... but ho, are you sure you're okay...? 」

I could hear conversations like that.

Hearing that, I ask Daisy and Saki, who were next door.

"Is it a common event that bloody ghosts appear in spiritual cities...? 」

I hear you two aren't new to this city, and you know what? That's what I thought and I heard.

"Come on. I don't think there was an event like that when I was around, best friend."

"You've never heard of that either. I mean, I don't really see the need to send out bloody ghosts in Hot Springs."

They don't even know Daisy and Saki.

Normally, they're right.

There's no such event, and I look at the bloody ghost again.

Dirty with blood from face to body, hard to see inside. But...

"... hmm? 」

I've noticed.

"... hey. Your husband. That's..."

Looks like Baselia noticed that too.

"Right. Maybe he's the one we know."

And when me and Baselia are talking,

"... um... there you are..."

The bloody man looked at this one.

As he walked back and forth, approaching a distance of about a few meters,

"... Dragon Knight Axel, huh? 」

Low, crouched voice.

The voice sounded familiar. It used to be something I used to listen to. So I return the words as I remember the old days.

"I'm not a dragon knight now, though. You know, you're... you're Gail, right? 」

"I knew it, [Fist Emperor Brave]. Ohisa."

Me and Gail, the big man who got the word of Baselia - a brave colleague, nodded on the spot, um,

"... you know yourself, you're an accelerator. … but before we speak in earnest, …… please... always."

Gail says as he looks this one straight in the eye.

Speaking of which, it's always been a quiet way to talk like this, or something like that. And what you've been doing since then.

"Always... is that it? That's good."

That's what I said back in my memory of the past.

Gail then dropped his hips slightly,

"- Zua...! 」

I exhaled and exhaled.

At that moment, from Gail's right arm, a fist followed by magic was fired.

That's not all.

Starting with his right arm, he came out with a clear split.

The statue with his fist upright comes straight towards me. Momentum, in a straight line.

In a way that goes with it, I stick one arm forward, too.

- Basin!

I took a fist of separation with one hand palm, echoing the sound of

With the shock created by the fist of my body, the wind swoops around me.

But it immediately subsided, and by the time the wind came out, his split had disappeared.

I look at it, and I look at my palm, and I nod, yeah.

"I took it a long time ago, but I knew it was early, Gail's fist was"

I speak to Gail as I wave to show him my palm.

Then he was nodding with him, too,

"... take this speed... then it's not deception or disguise... you know, it's a real accelerator"

And I walked in here even further with words that I was somewhat convinced of.

"Oh. Of course you are, Gail. Or did you still continue to make this sure to anyone using my name? As usual, I handled it normally."

He's been using this method for a long time to see if I'm real.

"... whatever... Anything that deceives you also takes benevolence... Besides, don't let him get hurt too much, the addition or subtraction of the criticality is always protected...... In fact, my fist is not swinging..."

"No, well, it was certainly more of a split blow by temper than magic... It was less powerful and faster."

"That's right. Then... even if you hit it, you'll have to pass out... If you wave your fist, you will destroy it. Better than that..."

"Well, I suppose so. In the first place, my face, very few people have ever seen it, so if you look at my face, you know what I mean? 」

Though some used to make similar helmets and use my name. It's normal to expose your face now. When I say that,

「 ………… 」

Gail solidified his gaze by doing so far away.

"Oh, you weren't thinking"

"Mm... no... it's not.... your face... I thought there was no line of disguise... just in case we, other than the brave, had hardly ever seen it... … I remember people not with my face, but with skill and muscle…"

It also looks like a slightly painful excuse, but it's probably true in the second half.

... Gail is aware that he can't say he's very loving and that his face is tough, so he's trying not to stare at people's faces.

So you basically judge people by their body, muscles, and skills they possess rather than by remembering their faces. And I'm not the only one who knows him like that.

"It's the same. Hey, this guy... It's sturdy, but it's missing a little bit. It's the same old thing."

"Oh, I think I've seen this sight a long time ago."

"I'm gonna miss you guys."

Saki and the others who were near me said that to each other.

And Gail heard those voices, and, um, raised his voice.

"... its magic is the magic brave, the carbuncle and the dragon king"

"Really... Absolwent only remembers because of the technology and characteristics we have."

"... sorry witchcraft brave. I'm trying to remember..."

"Yeah, I know. The fact that you have a personality that goes to the power first, even if you try to remember.... Well, as far as I'm concerned, I just remember Axel's face and name, which is good."

"No, you're right. Why am I the only one who remembers my face? 」

That's something I've been wondering about for a long time.

So asking again, Gail lowered his brow slightly,

"Ugh... Mm. I won't forget that. I remember my face in that quick helmet opening and closing time because it became eye training...... If accompanied by training, to boulders, remember…"

I've returned such an answer.

"Well, you couldn't have left me undressed for a second, that helmet...... How many seconds was the best?"

"If you weren't physically competent or well-eyed like us, you wouldn't even have been able to see..."

"Yeah. Whether it's me or Saki working hard to do the magic or Berze trying to hold his helmet back, it's back to Axel's head in an instant."

"You've done a lot to burn the face of your beloved accelerator in your eyes. It's a good memory in itself."

Everyone is laughing a little bit.

Now it's a story of the past, so I guess that's the way to look at it.

"Yeah... well, about that helmet, I've already taken it off, so let's just say I leave it. I don't really want to remember either. Now we're talking about Gail.... Why bloody? It's not your blood."

When asked, Gail first pointed behind her back after looking at her hands and body.

"In the plains beyond, I've hunted warcraft. He was just the type of big warcraft who wouldn't be a demon stone if he knocked him down. Hence..."

Gayle saw the city's building right around the corner - a branch of the Adventurer's Guild. from which he dropped his gaze on his own body,

"This is what happened while I was carrying it in charge to the Adventurer Guild pickup to keep the city from getting dirty with blood. But this style, it's not good to look at. … so when I left the pickup, I saw you guys where I was going to clean up"

"Oh, so, I've been calling after cleaning," he said.

"Uhm...... I don't know if I'll see you again, so I went straight. … As per purpose, we have a reunion, so as planned, we will start cleaning"

When Gail said so, with his own palms facing to the ground, he prepared himself at the waist. And

"[Conversion] (Convert)......! 」

I chanted.

Moments, Gail's body glows slightly white.

The light quickly covered his entire body and the moment he touched the red and black blood that was attached to his body and clothing,

「――」

The blood that was attached was converted into red light. Furthermore, the blood that became light is absorbed into Gail's body.

"Hey, Liz Noir. I've been thinking, what are you doing? I still don't know the magic of a fist ghost brave man."

"It's shallow school...... but that's Oriental magic, so it's not impossible for you not to know. Simply put, it's a kind of qigong technique. They convert the blood of other life forms into magic, incorporate it into their own bodies, and use it as a healing and magic supplement. We did it during the war, didn't we? 」

"Heh. It was also bloody during the war, and it had two names," Red Ghost, "I wondered why. That's what I was doing."

Within Saki and Baselia talking that way, the light went out of Gail's body. In addition to that, the blood had completely disappeared from his upper body, which was also red and black.

"Now, all right..."

"Boulder. It's called fisting earlier, you're as good as ever."

"I'm not trained enough yet, but I appreciate your praise, Axel.... Though it is dirty with sweat and mud running around a few places. So now I'm going to wash away the dirt and fatigue, and I'm going to take a bath. Hot springs around here are great because they also have purifying properties..."

"Oh, a hot spring? Good. I was thinking of coming in, too."

In other words, Gail closed his eyes to think for a few seconds before

"Mm... if that's the case, are you coming too...? I'd like to talk to you a little more."

"Me too? It's a pretty big bath, huh? 」

"The inn I take care of is due to the hot spring inn near here. There's a big bath, and there's a separate bath. You want me to introduce you? It's a good place to stay, so I recommend it for myself."

"Oh, it's quite a place for a traveler, Gail, to say that."

That has been the case since the days of the brave, but he used to travel in what he called training. The sight of the inn must have been pretty good, too, because I'm staying and walking around the cities.

That's why he recommends it, so there won't be any mistakes. The idea seems to be the same for everyone else,

"Do you recommend the Fist Emperor brave man? I wonder what it's like."

"You're a man with surprisingly delicate eyes. I think it's a good place."

"Nah. I'm so excited."

Looks like a pretty good ride. So,

"Yeah. So, can you ask for it, Gail? 」

"Admitted.... this way."

Thus, when we meet our old colleagues, we head to the Inn in the Spirit City, enjoying a long resumption.
