Apparently, Leifa and Meyer are in this room.

The time is before noon. After a while, I and Sophie headed to Leifa's hotel where they spent time.

The journey took about 20 minutes and took about an hour, as Sophie wasn't in perfect condition.

Her forehead is drenched with sweat. I decided to call out.

"Are you okay? Do you take a break?"

"Good, okay"

Sophie shakes her head. It didn't look okay, but pushing and answering here only reduced her physical strength.

It may be better to finish your business early and take a break.

"Okay, let's go."

Sounds the provided chime.

After a while, a sign of the person appeared on the other side of the door.

"Yes, who are you?"

A familiar voice. A voice that I heard a long time ago and a few months ago.

The door opens. Appearing from inside was a blonde half elf.

"Ge, note⁉"

What is that? It's really good.

It's not a reaction when you've been a child for a long time.

I really want to complain.

This is not the case now. Trouble should be avoided as much as possible.

"Miya after a long time"

Say hello to your smile.

Then, Meyer.

"Huh? Did you not meet until you won the dungeon? Did you want to see my face? Did you endure?"

annoying. Too bad.

Why is this high tension? I'm grinning.

Keep an eye on the twisting Meyer and turn to Sophie.

"Isn't it frustrating, can I just skip it?"

"Why terrible?"

Meyer protests with tears.

No, it is not. I didn't come to fight with Meya.

"Miyah, then it's true to go to a party made by Leifa."

Enter the main subject. Miya nodded with a smile.

"Yup!"

"Uh ... really ...?"

"What? What's wrong?"

Honestly, there is no problem.

Mia leans her head innocently. The back is not felt in the expression. It doesn't seem blurred.

"Oh, I understand! I'm jealous of having a princess party!" So you came to complain.

"..."

The mouth opened to too irrelevant opinions was not closed.

Sophie next door is equally amazed.

"That's not it, it's that brutal princess. You should definitely quit."

She gives her advice by shaking her shoulder. I felt Sophie's blame, but I didn't mind that.

"I won't say anything bad, hey"

"Hey, it's terrible."

There was a voice from the back of the room. A high-pressure voice that looks down on everyone.

It was the princess of violence, Leifa Southern Doll, who appeared.

"Isn't it a promise that you and I won't go out with each other? Nevertheless, I blew it to my party members on their own. Isn't it a foul?"

"But--"

"But it's nothing. Are you saying something wrong?"

Certainly, Leifa is right.

I negotiated with the assassination of my betrayal, and I and Leifa signed a non-interference contract.

It's against the contract to stop joining just because your childhood friend has entered Leifa's party.

"Huh? Do you know Leifa-sama about notes?"

Mia asks innocently. Apparently Meiya didn't know our connection.

It was the same for Leifa.

"Did you know each other?"

"Yeah, it's a notebook that I said yesterday that I wanted to knock down."

What kind of swearing are you talking about in the shadows?

I want to know but don't want to hear.

"Oh, that's strange. The one I hate enough to kill was the Note Athlon there."

"I'm really a friend!"

Mea wants a high five.

Reyfa was puzzled and answered.

"That's why. The Meer Line is mine."

"Hey, high five!"

"Well, do you?"

"Let's do it!"

"Oh yeah ..."

Raifa gets a high touch when pressed by the momentum.

It is completely taken at Meyer's pace.

"What are you staring at?"

"No, my face is red."

"Noisy! Shut up!"

Looks like she was a little teasing. It's not a good idea to be offended here. I have to reflect.

Anyway, Miya doesn't fear the brutal princess.

I couldn't imagine the scene where they were together, but it might be a surprisingly good partner.

Cruel and chilly Leifa and Meyah who are not afraid at their own pace.

Is the opposite character balanced on the contrary?

I didn't come to talk about that today. I forgot about Sophie.

"That's Sophie, but-"

When I turn to Sophie, the cold lies in Leifa's face.

"Are you in this place? I didn't notice.

"..."

Sophie's shoulder bounces.

Cruel language from a person who has pledged allegiance. It is strange that you do not receive a shock.

"Isn't there a way to say that?-Sophie-san worked hard-"

"Keep the outsider silent!"

Leifa snaps away.

I can't argue with that. Meiya was showing what was going on.

"Well, you know I hate people who can't get results, right?"

"……Yes"

"That didn't give you the result."

"……Yes"

"So you know what will happen?"

"…………Yes"

"I know you'll get rid of the abandoned human, don't you be a enemy later? You mean? "

"……House"

Sophie can't say anything.

"... I'm sorry. I understand."

It is pushed down by the pressure of Leifa and falls down.

If you do not put your mouth here, Sophie will get lost on the road.

I decided not to talk.

"Are you okay? Mr. Sophie. Pull down here."

Sophie shook silently.

"Please, Highness Leifa! Please give me another chance!"

"Noisy"

"His Highness!"

"do not touch!"

Leifa plays Sophie's hand. The flipped hand was wandering in the air.

"His Highness Leifa ..."

"Noisy! Did you say you've used it?"

"I'll do it! I'll do anything!"

"I'm telling you from the beginning, go away before me. If you do anything, go away quickly."

"..."

Sophie's complexion was already deep blue. I can't see any more.

"Isn't that a bit too bad?-Even if I ask you a little more-"

"So you, the outsider, told you to stay silent? Didn't you hear?"

The eyes of the two collide.

Let's say something. When I tried to open my mouth, it was Sophie who stopped it.

"enough……"

"eh⁉"

"that's enough……"

He bowed to Leifa.

"Sorry for the inconvenience"

"Sophie ..."

"Because I'm out now ... can I just take my luggage?"

"Do it yourself"

Leifa turned away as if she had lost interest and disappeared into the back of the room.

You can see Sophie's fist shaking. His face was distorted to desperately hold on to tears.

I am powerless. She brought Sophie here in the hope that something would change, but she only hurt her.

If this was the case, it would have been better to force them to rest at home. It was better not to meet Leifa.

When I saw Sophie's sadness, she was thinking like that.

***

After that, we recovered Sophie's luggage and left behind Leifa.

Now that way back. Sophie's condition was not perfect, so I carried my luggage.

"It's heavy, luggage? I have it."

"I can't really have a sick person."

"Good, because it's alright."

That said, it looks like it's all right.

He looks sicker than leaving home. You may have forced yourself.

The bangs were wet with sweat and stuck, and there were times when the focus was out of focus.

"It's okay. Don't worry about me any more."

"Even if you say that-"

"There's no need in the notebook to care for me."

Might be so. However, it's not so heartless to abandon it here because there is no step.

"Maybe that's right, but if you look at Sophie right now, you can't let it go. Don't worry about it.

"Die ... it might not be bad ..."

"Why do you say that? Isn't there anything? Hope to live or pleasure."

"No, not like that ..."

Sophie says.

"For me, His Imperial Highness was everything. He has reached out to me who has lost everything! It's the only purpose of my life to return his favor!"

A distorted way of life. I thought so.

"But that purpose is gone! There's no point in living!"

She is about to let go of her life, barely tied to her distorted way of life.

Looking from the side, it is wrong to ask others to live. Wrong dependency system.

But she must have had a reason to live otherwise.

Once Sophie said he had lost his entire family. He lost his aristocracy and public trust.

I am not a party. So I don't know the suffering. I cannot know the despair she had tasted.

But what can I do? I thought so.

Even if she can't snuggle up to her despair. It may be temporary. If she was given the meaning to live.

Did you think so? I was saying this unconsciously.

"Why don't you dive into the dungeon together?"

"eh?"

"No, what should I explain? Actually, there was a time when I once thought I didn't mean to live. I was just shaken by a girl I liked. It's a story of despair, but at that time she was everything in life. "

I think what you are saying.

"But when I arrived at 'The Arrivers', I started exploring the dungeon and my life changed. Did everything blow out and find a meaning to live? It may be, but I think dungeons have that kind of magic. ''

Still, his mouth did not stop.

"So why not dive into the dungeon for a trial? Why don't you try to capture the dungeon together? It may be far from peaceful life. There is no guarantee to be happy. That's right, but there's a lot of dizzying days waiting for you to forget something bad. "

"What are you saying……?"

No wonder Sophie is suspicious. I know I'm saying something out of place.

"I don't know what I mean, but it's true. It's fun to capture dungeons."

"Maybe you're stupid?"

Might be so. Why are you soliciting in such a situation?

Apparently, when it comes to dungeon exploration, I can't see my surroundings. I've been told by Erin a dungeon idiot.

"I just don't have enough at our party. Wouldn't it be nice if I couldn't get in? If it doesn't make sense to live, it's okay to connect it until you find it. I'm sure it will be a more meaningful experience than dying "

It was already shit. The words are laid out regardless of the pretend.

Suddenly, I remember a certain person.

It is the person I met when I was accompanied by a member of the Labyrinth Knights.

A warrior Brow who lost his ally in a dungeon capture and has since sought a place to die in the dungeon.

Surely his party members wouldn't want a millimeter for him to die in the dungeon.

Still, he dives into the dungeon with him because he hopes he can change his mind a little while he spends time with his friends.

Is it wrong for me to have such a wish in Sophie?

Turn to the fearful Sophie. She smiled a little, only a little.

"Don't you say you're changing a lot?"

"I'm often told these days ..."

I didn't do that in the past. It may have changed since we entered "Arrivals".

"I was hostile to you. You captured your companion and hurt yourself with your sword. Still trying to recruit me?"

"Are you okay? I don't care at all."

"I lost to that elf. It's not so strong. It might not be useful."

"That's not true. It's strong enough. Meyer is just out of the standard in the first place. You don't have to worry."

At first meeting with Sophie, she was already aware of her strength.

I've been working with Leifa for many years, and her ability is real.

In the first place, there are only a handful of people in this country who can fight against Meyer head-on. You don't have to be so depressed.

"So, why don't you go to 'Arrives'?"

"..."

Sophie was silent. The gaze is fixed on the ground.

"Please, I think we'll help."

That word must have been a decisive factor. Sophie opened his mouth.

"You have the benefit of helping me. I thought I had to return only that benefit."

"No, thank you-"

"It's important to me. To give back. I'm different from those ungrateful ..."

I don't know what Sophie is pointing to.

I don't know, but his eyes contained a certain passion.

"If you are in trouble and I can help you, I want to help you. I don't know if it's fun or hope to live. I'm going to dive in the dungeon if I can give back."

"That's fine at first, because it's something you'll see right away."

There is no confirmation. It's just a hopeful hope that it would happen.

But I hoped that such hopeful observations would come true.

"Then promise, don't say you're dead anymore."

"... I see. I promise."

Sophie nodded slowly.

I wonder myself. At first it was hostile.

Like Reifa, I didn't like Sophie.

There was a lot of twists and turns, and Sophie was getting into the party.

Well, but not bad. New party members connected by strange edges.

Talking, it turned out painfully that she wasn't too bad.

She just swore allegiance to Leifa. For better or worse, pure.

It's too pure and dangerous, but it's just too normal compared to the other members of the Arrivers.

If Erin or Rosria goes out of control, it will cause trouble.

"I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of party the 'Arrives' will be."

With the addition of new members, the "arrivers" will need to change.

Is it going in the bad direction or in the good direction? Only God knows.

But I guess Sophie can do it well. Strangely, I had such confidence.

Sophie opens her mouth.

"But is it OK?"

"What is it?"

"Don't let me decide. I'm usually going to have to get the party members' consent to get me into the party."

"..."

"Why are you silent?"

"No, I think you're right."

I completely forgot what was important. Such a decision should not be made on your own.

You usually talk to your party members before you say. This is another guy who gets angry.

"If it doesn't work, don't overdo it ... just because I'm gone ..."

"Well, I'm going to convince you. I'm not proud, but I'm used to swinging party members.

Including the trouble with Leifa, I felt that it was not enough, but I can't help regretting here.

I decided to confidently not worry Sophie.

"What, that's strange."

Sophie smiled sickly. I'm entangled and laugh.

It just doesn't work out of my life. Everyone, me and Sophie.

But we still have to live. I have to walk forward.

Because if you give up on the way, you will end up with a life that does not go well.

Dungeon capture that failed once will be successful next time. Without anyone missing. With the new "Arrivers".

In this way, "The Arrivers" attracted new members and challenged dungeon capture.
