"What does the force mean?"

At first I didn't understand what Erin was saying.

It's been a long time since I had a conversation.

I was even thinking about how anxious.

"I just mean it."

Erin answers shortly.

"Is it out of 'The Arrivers'? Or is it going to be gone from Purif?"

"Both of them"

"Why did you come out? Why are you going out here and where are you going!"

"I said I hated my weakness. So I told me to retrain myself again. I don't know where I'm going."

"Is that not going to return for the time being?"

I ask. Erin shook his head.

"Well, I haven't even heard when I'm going back.

"Well, what do you do with the" arrivers "! There's no gin, but you're not going to the Force!"

"I don't know that. Isn't it difficult to keep going at least? I wonder if it will break up and take shape."

-Dissolution (...).

The cold sound of the word made me feel like my back was frozen.

Why can you say such a cruel thing easily?

Because "Arrives" is a place filled with lots of memories with Jin.

Just throw it away. I'm sorry.

"Why didn't stop the force ..."

I muttered. So a loud voice resounded.

Erin goes over my chest and complains.

"I've stopped it, but I can't stop it! I'm not that force! I'm not the only person who stops telling others what I've decided to do! I wish I had stopped! "

"But I'm talking-"

That said, be calm.

It was myself who refused the discussion.

It is wrong to blame others for not participating in it.

If anything, the responsibility lies with me.

Erin once faced the Force.

I referred to Jin's death and rejected the Force. Abandoned facing.

When I was asked to hold a discussion with the Force, he just knew he was recovering from Jin's death.

But that was not the case.

The Force was hurt and worried, just like me.

I came to the conclusion that the status quo remained, but he was different.

He concluded that he was leaving the party.

It's my responsibility to think only about myself and not think about the feelings of others.

I thought I was depressed alone. I thought it was the most unfortunate in the world.

But, like me, everyone is unhappy. Everyone was hurt.

That was the next word of Erin, which I realized more than I hated.

"So, after thinking a lot, I'm going to get out of this Purif town."

It was a shock. I'm not going to Erin.

"why……"

I manage to squeeze the squeezed voice.

At that time, I looked up for the first time and saw Erin's eyes.

"I'm the same reason as the Force ... I heard the Force and I decided too. Let's learn the magic again."

She continues.

"It's my fault that Jin died. Jin died at that time because I couldn't stop the boss from moving. It's not because of my complete lack of ability!"

"But that was because the boss was so strong, and it's Elin's sole responsibility."

"I don't need such a makeshift word of comfort ..."

Erin muttered cold.

"Do you know white magic?"

Suddenly asked.

I nodded without understanding the intent of the question.

"Is it true that healing spells can be used by mages? I've heard that it is a rare magic-"

Having said that, I notice a lot.

"Maybe ..."

"The sacred art spell was useless, but white magic might have been fine. If you used it for gin or force, something might have changed."

"So why didn't you use it?"

"I didn't use it. I couldn't use it."

She had a snoring laugh.

"I have the skill of [all-attribute magic], so I suppose there must be a skill at white magic. Nevertheless, all I can't use is my lack of effort."

"But Erin was studying magic desperately!"

"It's a story after you were in distress at the 20th level, right?"

"that's right, but……"

"If I had studied more in the past, Jin wouldn't have died! I had to quit school! ! If it's a little sooner to acknowledge your weakness and get serious! Unless you're angry with Cathy and you can't teach me magic! Jin never died! '

The girl was crying while she was screaming. I was trembling.

She, like me, was broken by Jin's death.

"Erin ..."

I mutter.

She approaches with tears and trying to hug her who is crying.

He stretched his arms and wrapped around Erin's shoulders.

"I'm sorry. I can't afford to receive the kindness of the notebook right now."

However, she pinched her arms between each other's bodies, gently and very gently pushed away my body.

"I'm weak. I'm going to rely on my notebook as soon as I'm near. I've decided to work hard. So I'll go back home and forget everything except magic. ''

"What's that ..."

So what should I do?

Losing those who were the most respected and benefactors in the world.

As a bad friend, there are no seniors I can't hate.

What's more, I want to protect you more than anyone and leave you who wanted to be with you.

What should I support?

The arms raised to hug her were wandering in the air.

Should I reach out again? Or should I swing it down?

The arm did not move while lost.

"So, goodbye for a while. I'm lonely that I won't be able to meet you. I'll do my best alone. Don't forget about me."

"Wait! Don't decide for yourself! How long after a while! How long do I have to wait?"

"Well, not until I'm satisfied?"

"I don't like that! I don't want to be able to meet you anymore! I won't be alone!"

I knew I was saying something selfish.

Reject everyone terribly.

If you know it's gone, stop it.

But I didn't like it anymore. The important person is leaving.

Erin smiles a little while answering her tears in her eyes.

"Don't suddenly tell yourself. I'm in trouble. But I'm a little glad."

"Why are you laughing? I'm taking this seriously."

"I never thought I would stop so hard. Honestly, I thought the notebook didn't care about me so much. right?"

I didn't even know that Erin looked at me that way.

If I knew, I could have been more obedient.

"So stop me. Please take care of me so much. Write me words. Thank you."

"It was bad that I couldn't tell you until now. I'm going to be gentle a lot. I'll be honest. So don't joke about going somewhere."

"It's not a joke. It's a decision. I'm not going to turn it over. I'm really sorry."

She stepped away from me and turned her back.

"If I talk to the notebook anymore, my determination will be slowed down, so I'm going to end this story. Is there anything you want to say last?"

There is. A lot.

I have a lot to say.

So don't go farewell.

"You don't have to study magic!" Arrives "is over! You don't have to dive into the dungeon anymore! So don't go!

Thoughts become words and overflow.

"Yes! I told you before! Stop dive in dungeons. Dating, live a peaceful life with no monsters. We will eventually marry and walk like a man. It ’s good, let ’s do it!

Perhaps we should have given a far cooler farewell word.

But what came out of my mouth was a sad plea.

Erin shook his head. The bundle of silver hair was shaking.

"I wouldn't be glad to have a proposal. I'm glad, but I'm not glad right now. I'm sorry.

"..."

"Sure, maybe you don't need to study magic anymore. You might never dive in the dungeon for a lifetime. But I don't want to regret my immature again. I want to face you. "

Sudden rejection from Erin could not return words.

why? Do you want to forsake me until Erin?

When she was silent, she opened her mouth.

"Nothing more? Then, one last word from me."

With that said, she turned around.

"I like the notes. I'll see you again."

It was the last word I heard when leaving.

Then she returned to her room and dressed up in a hurry.

Then he left the party house immediately.

Then there is no word. I quickly disappeared from this city.

Meanwhile, I couldn't stop.

I could only sit down in my bed and snarl.

***

Not only the Force, but Erin is also selfish.

Decided on its own, and gone without permission.

What happens to those who are left behind?

What should I do now?

One person was thinking about that on a park bench today.

I didn't want Erin to be gone.

I wanted to be with you. I wanted not to be alone.

I'm not as strong as Erin thinks.

He is a human who cannot live alone.

Jin died and stayed alone in her shell because she had a place to return to, called the Arrivers.

Everyone had a cold place because of the promised place.

He assumed that even if he refused, the relationship would not go away.

But the idea was wrong.

Force and Erin are gone.

They regretted their helplessness and said they would retrain themselves.

That decision is by no means bad.

I can't blame them.

But should I do the same as them?

It was an unknown problem.

"The Arrivers" has collapsed. That is an unmistakable fact.

Half of the party members have disappeared. It is no longer a viable number.

The question is whether Jin will die and form a party in the first place.

Since Jin was there, "Arrivals" has come this far, so if I didn't have Jin, would I be able to act as "Arrivals"?

Isn't "Just Reaching (Arrivers)" a gin?

To me, The Arrivers seemed irreparably broken anymore.

So, Erin's decision isn't a turnaround, it's just complacency.

Jin won't return, no matter how much he has strengthened.

"Arrives" is over, so we won't visit the scene where we should use that power anymore.

But I should be praised for being more productive than I'm just freezing every day.

At least, I am wrong now.

Should I, like Erin, retrain themselves?

Don't lose your important people anymore.

One part of Jin's death is me.

If a little stronger. If it was strong enough to let Jin leave the tongue.

Surely, Jin did not die.

I'm the one who needs the most strength than Erin and Force.

Let's start with training.

I won't do it anyway. There is no other choice.

It should be much more meaningful than sitting down like this and spending the day.

If you move your body, you may come up with some good ideas.

You may be able to get out of the thought alley.

If you decide to do so, you should act sooner. Before this determination shakes.

Stand up from a rusty bench.

He walked towards the park exit.

The park was in the middle of a residential area.

There's a lot of distance from here to the Valkyrie's party house, but it's not a walking distance.

It will arrive before sunset.

It may be difficult to get trained during the day today, but let's keep the promise alone.

That way, even if you change your mind, you can't go wrong with your promise.

There is a situation where you have to train.

With that in mind, I went to see Reese.

"It's just the right time, little girl snatcher. It's been a long time."

When the bell of the party house of "Valkyrie of Revenge" rang, Reese appeared lightly.

This was lucky because I was dive in the dungeon and thought I couldn't meet today.

As she said, it was a good time.

I'm not sure what she meant at the right time.

"It's been a long time, Master"

Raise your hand and reply.

"I have a story, are you free now?"

"I'm vacant. I have to talk too. I came and saved."

I wonder what. What you have to talk about.

With his head tilted inward, Reese wears his shoes and shows his way out.

"It's hard to talk here with some of our members and why not change the location somewhere?"

"OK"

"Then, do you want to go to a nearby cafe?"

He nodded and decided to follow the lease that had begun.

Think about her outfit today, walking five steps behind.

A pale yellow-green cardigan and a dark red long skirt.

rare. This is my first outfit.

In the first place, I had never seen the wreath wearing a skirt.

He usually wears shorts and a rough T-shirt.

But today, she is dressed like a normal woman.

I knew for the first time that I could dress like this.

Before we walked that way, we arrived at the desired coffee shop.

Wreath opens the door.

I went inside and sat in a large seat for four with two people.

I ordered two coffees.

The clerk who took the order immediately disappeared into the back.

Reese and me face silently.

It was she who first opened her mouth.

"It's been a while since I'm going to meet my little girl snatcher like this."

"Isn't it Jin's funeral?"

Answer quietly.

Reese, meanwhile, folded her hands over her head and looked out the window.

"That's right ... I don't feel so nostalgic because I didn't have much memory at that time."

"I also miss talking to my teacher."

It's been a long time to calm down and talk with someone.

I avoided conversations with the party members, and even if I talked, it was a somewhat thorny conversation.

Just the conversation when the Force leaves. Just a goodbye conversation with Erin.

So I was talking to someone other than "The Arrivers", and I couldn't hate this situation.

Maybe leasing is an outsider? I can talk a little with confidence.

If you had been talking to Reese for a long time, something might have changed.

I even remembered such regrets.

"So you have a story, so you came to me."

"Yes, but did the teacher also talk?"

"Yeah, yeah"

"That's okay, right there."

"So, let's just say something-"

Reese said without taking his gaze from the outside scenery.

"I'm going to quit the adventurer."

--e?

I wasn't surprised.

What are you talking about, Reese?

"Jin died?"

"……Yes"

I nodded while biting my lips.

"That's what made me think. Oh, I can't do a dungeon capture ..."

She continued in a self-scorning tone.

"That gin, who was the strongest assassin, died. That gin I longed for. Even though I couldn't do a dungeon capture that Jin couldn't achieve ..."

Reese's fist, telling her, was shaking while tightly holding the skirt cloth on her knees.

Really. She, like me, was one of those who couldn't get Jin's death right.

Reese had a crush on Jin.

I remembered such an important thing now.

"I'm an adult too. I wonder if I can see reality soon ..."

"... is it real?"

"Yeah, dungeon capture. No, adventurers aren't very good professions in the first place, aren't they? It's like fighting monsters for life. It's like selling your life. I wonder if it will not last forever ... "

Adventurers are professions themselves, like dreamers.

It's like a representative of an ideal profession that you can live with whatever you want without seriously working hard.

We seem to be looking at our ideals and may have actually turned our eyes away from reality.

"I'm going to return to my normal life because I'm in a job with no danger of life and stable income. I'm the age I have to think about marriage. That's better. "

Reese's statement is definitely correct.

It is an unmistakable theory.

But it was also true that at the bottom of his heart he did not want to accept the justification.

"I enjoyed searching for dungeons, but it was fun, stimulating, and exhilarating. Isn't that something you'd like to say goodbye at a certain age? After that, make a compromise with reality. That's what it means to be an adult. "

Did Jin who lost his life in the dungeon not be smart?

Did you not become an adult?

I want to complain about that statement.

But when I look at Reese's enlightened expression, she realizes that it's useless.

Her will is already solidified.

He has already decided to quit the adventurer.

Jin's death was so great for her.

I'm not talking to me for consultation. It just reports the decision.

In this way, I am a child who can not accept the decision of Rees honestly.

I don't want to go to Reese.

Just for my own convenience.

"Did you tell everyone in the Valkyrie of Revenge? I'm going to quit the adventurer."

I was very kind and asked, hoping that Rees' decision would be frustrated.

As a grown-up Reese, his words as a child do not reach.

I knew that, so I could only choose a deterrent.

Still, she does not stop.

"I said. I've already got permission. I'll be out of the city of Purif a little more."

"Is that so……"

"I thought I had to call out to you before I left, but I came from you and it helped me."

-It's just the right time, little girl snatcher.

I finally understood the meaning of the first line.

Unusual ordinary feminine outfits may also be a sign of a return to normal life.

If you look closely, you can't find the weapon you always carry.

The only thing near the waist, once carrying a knife, was a long skirt that was hard to move.

She really wants to quit the adventurer.

I realized so.

"By the way, what was the story of a little girl snatcher? Like maybe me?"

This time she asks.

There is no way I can ask for training in this context.

I chose to vomit immediately.

"Yes, I thought I'd quit the adventurer."
