Graduated from Witchcraft Institute

By the time I returned to the city of Atlantia, the sky was spreading with sunset colors.

When we entered the city, we first went to the Adventurers Guild to report the completion of the quest, and received twenty-two gold coins and five silver coins, the latter of the rewards.

And we decided to take a day off in the city that day and head to bandit exorcism the next day.

However, when that happens, the problem is Satsuki - the Ghost girl remains attached to her.

A sleeping little deer pavilion tavern, where by way of example we gather in party members to surround the dinner table, but the girl who looked satsuki there was quiet as the cat she borrowed.

"Without something satsuki, it feels too quiet and weird"

"Right. The arms of the sword and the brightness and the noise are the only things that seem like a handle, but you must be lonely without me."

When Mi and Cyril divulge that sentiment, the girl in Satsuki's appearance narrows her shoulders as she feared.

"Shh, sorry, because of me...... But... this conversation sounds like Satsuki too..."

"Really? Is Satsuki saying anything?

"Uh... I'm stubborn about 'hi-na-what'... oh, and, uh, 'you don't care about me, just drink and eat and enjoy now'... this is a message to me, isn't it? hahaha......"

That said, the girl who looked satsuki, tears in her eyes.

I see, Satsuki is satsuki, and he's in dialogue with her.

Besides, apparently, we have a favorable relationship.

Sounds like a satsuki...... it is something I looked up to.

"What, oh, I'm sorry. I enjoy it. I owe Mr. Satsuki his body, so I need to take care of him now."

I guess Satsuki said something again.

When the girl said so to excuse herself, she carried the meat dish in front of her with a fork to her mouth and enjoyed the meal with tears.

I ask the girl one question.

"You hadn't heard about you yet. What's your name?"

"Oh, uh, it's Philia. Mr. William... right?

"Oh, Satsuki calls me Will."

"Haha, I guess I can't do that all of a sudden... Oh, uh, it's okay, I'll just call you Mr. William."

Looks like Satsuki said something again.

The girl is making an explanation in a bewildered way.

Then there, Mi pinched another question.

"I've always wondered, Philia, is it? Can't Filia leave Satsuki or change her personality on the table with Satsuki?

"Ah, yes. Other than my own vanishing, I can't seem to change from this state... I'm sorry."

"Fine. I'm not blaming you. If Satsuki is happy to lend her body, this is not what Mi would say. Instead, it's noisy for a day or so."

"Uh, um... just when you two say that, Mr. Satsuki seems to be in shock too..."

To the words of that philia, Mi spurts and laughs when Cyril also dulls.

I'm feeling kind of cheerful, too.

─ ─ Then for a while, laughing, making noise, drinking and eating, the four of us ― No, I enjoyed a meal for five, including Satsuki.

And after a while, Philia fell asleep easily on the spot, whether she was drunk or tired of laughing.

Cyril and Mi took two, brought her upstairs to the inn room, and eventually only Cyril returned.

And as tired as I was, I sat down to keep myself in the chair.

"I've put you to bed. Mi said she's going to bed today."

"Right."

I'll get the wine to my mouth while I listen to Cyril's report.

I usually try not to be too extravagant, but only alcohol decides to order quite a few things.

All the cheap wines don't fit my mouth.

"... Cyril"

"What?"

"I want to hear your views. ─ ─ Do you think objective 'evil' exists?

When I heard that, Cyril looked a little surprised.

And when she ordered wine to serve herself, too, she fell asleep and fell asleep at a cleaned table of overcooking.

"Are you unexpectedly drunk, too? That's unusual."

"I wonder.... I believe that justice is basically just a relative thing. Depending on the person's standing and perspective, what is just can easily change. … but."

A bandit that attacked a village in Filia.

The desire to sever it as evil is obsessed with me without disappearing.

Even those bandits may have had some circumstance before they corrupted themselves there.

Maybe they have something to think about.

But that's why...

Then Cyril, who had received the wine he had ordered in exchange for a few copper coins, woke up and tipped the cup.

"I'm thinking, William. ─ ─ Justice and evil don't exist or don't exist or anything like that. Justice and evil are what we decide to be."

"... is that the teachings of Ahatna, the goddess of justice?

"No, you don't. I told you, that's what I think. ─ ─ Here's what the goddess Ahatna taught me. Seek righteousness, O thou! Thy righteousness will continue to change. Darkness affirms distorted justice. You illuminate the world with the light of knowledge '... meaning, you know?

"Somehow."

"That's right. ─ But, you know, when it comes to justice, we've been thinking about it for a long time, and we haven't gotten to one answer. How many talented people do you get to answer so easily?"

That said, Cyril came all the way up to me... and with her index finger, she played my forehead.

... a little, it hurts.

"... Cyril, you're drunk too, aren't you?

"What do you think? ─ ─ It's time for us to go to bed. I can't even tell you how a hangover killed a bandit."

"... right"

I took Cyril's advice and took a seat myself and headed upstairs.
