The sun is completely down and the night book is down on the hit. It's true dark in this mountain where no one enters, even at a time when the liquor stores are still busy all over the city. Are the animals living in the mountains just falling asleep, and from the hit, they can only hear the bugs squeal. In such a quiet darkness, I slept in a big letter, illuminated by the starlight.

(I wonder why this is happening...)

All the same thoughts glue around in my head. Even though it's something I can't think about, I still can't contain my feelings. I admire what I often say about not standing in regret.

"Ha..."

It's ridiculously repetitive sighs leak to count it over and over again. It was an entirely unexpected development to make it difficult to meet face to face with the people I had been close to until half a day earlier. Even if the battle against the Demons began and I was worried worldwide, I was going to keep the peace at least around me. Yet this is it. An inadvertent word from Tiamato told them who I was, and as a result, I fell asleep here all by myself.

When I say that Tiamato's words are hanging up, I don't even think it's his fault for the shards. I'm the one who was lying, and I've never asked him to keep his mouth shut, so I'm not responsible for Tiamato at all. It's all my fault.

(I wonder what to do...)

Reminds me even more of what I came here for. We should have come all the way to the back of these mountains to bottom up their power against the mighty demons that would appear. So it's impossible to go home without doing anything. I mean, we have to work them out.

(Difficult to meet face)

Huh - and the sigh leaks again. When I woke up, Karin and the others were worried about me. He was delighted at my safety from the bottom of his heart. I fully understand in the short time I've spent with them that it's not a play or a lie. Still can't take a step. My body, just falling asleep, feels heavy as lead, and moving my fingertips becomes a billionaire.

"Oh, my God, he's dead in here, but he's asleep."

When I turned my gaze only in the direction of the voice I had heard on the pretend, there stood one good man. White hair stretched to the waist on white skin. Cut long eyes and crisp mouth. Ten out of ten women who walk in the city are likely to look back. And he has two fine horns growing on his head. If you look at the unknowledgeable, you're likely to mistake him for the Demon Nation, but what makes the Demon Nation and him decidedly different is the atmosphere. It doesn't make you feel any evil, it rather creates a sacred atmosphere. He was such an atmosphere-releasing person that they were going to believe me, even though I was told he was a cleric here.

"... Tiamato? It's been a long time since I've seen that."

As he fell asleep and I said that, he cleverly bent only the edge of his mouth and laughed niggly. Tiamato sits down beside me without saying no, pouring tea into a cup taken from nowhere and enjoying the fragrance alone. I want you to be alone, but I'm a little upset about Zukazuka and the tiamato that hasn't hesitated to split into people's areas.

"... what are you doing here?

"What, I'm just here to laugh at an unusual fugitive"

Fugitive. Needless to say, it's about me. In this case, I'm guessing you're referring to running away from your people rather than being a brave man. Still, there's blood on my head for a second to an insult I've never received before. But Tia Mato, who should be feeling my anger, remains a cool face. That stroked my nerves again and turned my face away unexpectedly. Tiamato keeps talking with a calm look at me like that.

"That's a lot weaker, Estrella. There was once a brave man who fought with me, and now there's no shadow to see."

"... leave me alone"

For Tiamato, you don't have to explain what's going on in the temple. Even if I say I just met them today, I must be somehow guessing their relationship with me. And say the dragons who live in the dragon's nest, Tiamato is not unknown to the public. Because he has humanized dragons and multiracial visitors from time to time, and secular information and artifacts and offerings. I guess you understand some of the situation from our attitude and atmosphere. The purpose of that tiamato coming here... is probably what I imagined it would be.

"You used to be strong. There was no such thing as stray. If you say so, a chunk of willingness to say fight. The incarnation of a battle that takes the form of a person. It was as if Gael, the god of war, had descended"

…………

"How about that? I thought we'd started the fight in the sky above, we'd run around without any kind of counterattack, get a direct blow from Brace at the end of the quote, etc... I don't think he's the same person as Brave once was."

Cursing...... I guess you're not going to be. Tiamato is just pale mouthful of facts, no malice towards me. But I couldn't afford to listen to that right now.

"Ugh! I can be depressed, and I can be disturbed! What's wrong with that!

I didn't say it was bad.

Tiamato doesn't look a little upset when he says he yelled out loud. As always, I enjoy tea gracefully.

"To observe. Doesn't that have anything to do with your appearance?

…………

"You can't keep your mouth shut. How about you talk to me instead of wasting time like this?

That's what I said. Tiamato's eyes looked like he was claiming to have found some interesting toys. I guess my troubles for him are only entertainment enough to distract me from my daily boredom. But right now, I thought I'd get on with it. I want to talk to someone. I want to be revealed. I want you to say something to someone. I guess I felt that way. I grabbed a potpourri sometimes and started talking about what had happened before.

§ § §

"- I see. Did that happen?"

…………

I can't believe the 300 years I've spent would be as blinking a moment if I did. Yet during that moment, Tiamato seemed very jealous of me for all the different experiences that I could not think of in the dragon's nest. And the story went into good shape, and as soon as my lies became known and my relationship with them became subtle, I began to seem bored.

"... so I don't know what to do now -"

"You can talk about it. With my people."

Tiamato pinches his mouth to block my words. When he looked up surprised, he was bludgeoning his absences with a boring looking face.

"What's bothering you? I wouldn't have a choice but to talk. We'll make up, we'll make up our minds, we won't move on not talking. Such a simple conclusion, I suppose, is out of the question?

…………

Yes. Tiamato is right, I know what to do. I just didn't know the energy or the courage to move it into action. I didn't boil it off. I thought you'd be mad at my attitude. It was a tiamato, but he refers to the night sky with a bitter smile. The starry sky jumped into my sight when I was caught looking up into the sky.

"Wow..."

Unexpectedly there is an exclamation. I should have fallen asleep earlier and looked up, but I wonder how far I couldn't afford not to notice such a beautiful starry sky. In the direction Tiamato pointed, there were stars that sparkled brightly. The star is surrounded by a night sky of nothing as if it were a pocky decision. Don't let anyone near you and just say that you are the king of the stars. That is the biggest and most beautiful star of the stars. It is also called The Sign of the Night Sky (Estrella).

"... three hundred years ago. When you first met me, I told you. With a strong power that cannot fit into the human frame, you will eventually be isolated and alone. Like that Estrella floating in the night sky if you say so. Everyone would turn away because it was too bright, although it would shine at first. How did you respond then?

It brings back old memories. Me visiting the Dragon's Nest to get stronger, just kept fighting Tiamato. At that time, I believed that my power was the only way to save the world, and I responded without even thinking deeply about the words I was called upon to say.

"... I don't mind if it is. Even if I'm as lonely as that star, I'll let my beliefs penetrate."

Unexpectedly leaks a bitter laugh. What a stupid strength. I can still recall the clarity of my mind at the time. You said that in your mouth, but I was afraid it would happen. I couldn't make one of my friends satisfied and lacked something important as a human being, and I believed that defeating the Demon King would surely reward me. Of course, I didn't solve anything where I defeated the Demon King. Whether this guy always sneaks up on my powers or tries to get rid of me as a dangerous person. Mostly these were the two choices. After that, only those who saw it on the far roll and told me not to get involved. I didn't make a single friend.

"You finally have friends like that."

"That's right. Karin and the others treated me as one of them, as a friend."

Glad to hear it. They gave me something irresistible: everyday. When I get home from working so hard all day, they tell me they're coming home. Talk about the day's irresistible events as you surround the table. How pleased I was with that. I felt like I was finally alone because of them.

Tears creep up and I accidentally bury my face in my knees. I don't want to lose it. Even if they hate me, I can't hate them. I want you to stay with me forever.

"It's Estrella. Those girls are just as worried about you now. But if we keep spending time like this for no reason, those girls will leave here soon. Unlike you, we don't have hundreds of years."

Breathe unexpectedly. They will always be here unconditionally - I was noticed thinking about such sweetness somewhere in my heart.

"Then what? The answer is one. He's a brave man once, by the way. You mind if I show you a little bit of intent?

"Right... right"

Fear still doesn't go away. But the only Tiamato who knew me from the old days and who I am now pushed me on the back and I could finally get up. My knees are grinning pitifully. Even in the first place, I hadn't freaked out so far. Such a funny self, nature and laughter have crept up.

"Nice face. That's a little better."

"Thanks to you. Thank you, Tiamato. I'll be there."

Like sending me out, Tiamato makes me hoist an empty cup. With a slow foothold I turned back to the temple and began to aim for one room. The destination is naturally Karin's room. one step, another, and surely moved forward, enjoying the urge to escape
