"So, gentlemen, it was a short time, but thank you. I didn't get to have much of a conversation, but I was always invigorated by the look on your face when you ate it deliciously."

Last day. I'm done working at Mr. Misty's shop today, which means the store was busy with a lot of regular customers, even though it was usually supposed to be closed.

The majority of them are elves, but there are a variety of facial rashes in there with people who grow something reminiscent of animal ears like Vio's from the head, researchers who don't want to ask if white coats are usually worn.

Already, the cook who will take over after me is supposed to be dispatched from the store where Mr. Misty originally went to work.

The situation is that the recipe has already completely mastered it, as it was not originally serving so difficult dishes.

Well, that's exactly what you should say about people who are in the line of duty and still work on the line, things are different.

"Really, Kai, thanks to you, this is how you can keep the store going."

"My store also felt a little stuck. The techniques and cuisine that Kai taught us will keep this neighborhood busy as a new boom."

"I exaggerate, owner. I'll take care of this shop."

Residual voices, words of gratitude. receive and feed them.

I'm sure I'll let him stay. I don't think every human being living here is guilty.

... Yes, it is today. Promise day.

That's not a promise to 'quit the store today', but a promise that 'Dahlia will bring the answer'.

Even if it ends any way.

I won't give up, even if... I'm going to take a different path.

Absolutely, when I fulfilled Lue's wish, that's what I swore.

Late at night. I promised to visit again today, so when I go to Sir Arklight's mansion, the two gatekeepers go inside after a deep thank you.

Upon entering the mansion, Layla greeted me with an evening dress.

"Dear Kaivon. Dahlia is already waiting for you in the reception room."

"Mm... have I kept you waiting a long time"

"No, it hasn't been a minute."

"Right. I'm sorry, let me pick you up at this hour."

When this one hangs the nagging words, he silently raises his jaw and exposes his neck.

No more. This girl.

I silence her and head to the reception room she made me use the other day.

Exhale loudly once in front of that door, and then decide to be ready.

Knock twice. And the voice you call...

"Uh-huh. You kept me waiting."

"Oh, come on, Caivon. Souvenirs."

"I thought I'd say. Look, just wait a minute."

Oh, it really doesn't change. Nothing's changed from the old days.

Unlike in the past, there are many dishes that can be easily transported out thanks to the presence of a convenient item box.

Today, because it's the last day, I'm going to spread a lot of the dishes I made on the table that looks expensive in the reception room.

Mushroom and tomato quiche. Tachiouo cutlet. Red fish tatataki, fish hamburger.

Promised fried tofu (white seeds), fried small shrimp.

When you can't see the table with them, Dahlia cheers on the couch facing each other.

"Oh ho! Yes, it is. It's the best cheat you can keep a freshly made one."

"Right. Look, I got some booze for you too."

"Oh, I'm sorry. Then I'll serve my secret liquor too."

"Mmm, that's Endoresian liquor, you got it well."

"I'm involved in adjusting tariffs on alcohol, too. That's why they're coming at us on the edge."

I haven't had a drink in a long time.

Because maybe I can't do this after the conversation.

So hurry, just two, late-night feasts start, avoiding getting to the point.

"Ah... it's true... it's heaven"

"You had a lot of cheap heaven. The cost of ingredients for this dish is a lux."

"Seriously... uh... I eat it every day..."

Even if you change your appearance. Its taste unchanged, its modus operandi.

Differences between its finesse and its condition.

Its appearance of chewing and swallowing over and over again, even when it tastes like a remnant and usually pours in with alcohol.

Dahlia, who should only look like a child, looks dabbled with her best friend Hisashi.

... that's just a little tired for him too.

"... well. I knew it wouldn't work."

Potty and this one leaks. And Pitali and Dahlia stop.

"Yes, no. Well, let's do it after we eat, shall we?"

"You've almost eaten up."

"Oh, seriously. You're eating too much, Caivon."

"It's not me."

I wasn't expecting that much.

Maybe it was really to that extent.

People change. But even if it changes, once that relationship breaks down.

I'm sure I can start over and over again.

So...

"Don't worry, best friend. I'm not the old me anymore."

I thought you were horrible. You're powerful enough to scare even Lue.

But at the same time, you thought I was horrible. I set it up to think so.

You know me better than anyone, but you've been cornered.

I don't listen to who or what you've talked to. But at least, if you eat like that, you'll be able to imagine.

Just stare at Dahlia facing each other. Then I put the dishes back on the table as if I had noticed.

"... I'm here today to lie to you"

"Right."

"When I can see the king. He said he'd leave the country to attend a ceremony so we could meet him there."

"Oh, okay"

"But the truth is..."

"Don't say it. I don't want to make you a traitor."

"... if I say so much, it's the same thing"

"Still."

I'm sure you thought if you broke out right now, you'd sell a fight to the country, right?

It can't be. At least you guys took action.

Then let me try and hand it over from there this time.

It was really critical. But... it held up.

At the end of the day, your...

"... hey, you cried, you've never seen it before"

"Ugh, my body's pulling this on me. It's a no-can, Chickshaw."

You can't cry against me. Well, I guess this makes you comfy.

I've only been in front of him once.

Past the back of my brain, a memory of the hardest night of my life.

I was saved by you once. So... let's pay back what we owe you.

For now, I owe you that day with the same priority as Lue's wish.

"I guess I'll be the wingman fighting something."

……

"It must be the ultimate weapon that the country will prepare to remove the crisis."

If you were going to trap me.

There's always a trick there to capture the prey.

Then what if they get out of that trap, then?

How does it work, this country?

"I'll go beyond your thoughts. So at that time..."

I believe in you.

"... ok. When the measure is broken, this one moves arbitrarily."

"I asked. One last thing."

Assume the worst. Only this time, because it's likely.

I entrust my last wish. If I could really lose, then...

"If anything happens to me, then..."

"Lue, probably! Then the sun will go down!

"You have no choice, do you? I'm not used to this."

"So this is how you pull all at once with your leaves," he said.

"Here, here's the thing?

The sound of 'butch' ringing from hand fills me with feelings of sorry and embarrassment if I fail again.

If the kids can't do it and I can't... how clever are these kids?

Not that I'm clumsy, but I must be so good at exerting and subtracting force that these kids missed their normal orbit.

I give up and dig up my corny and pretty shaped imo as I soil my hands again.

"Lue is a fool!

"What kind of idiot is that? disrespectful. Look, I dug it well."

"Okay, then it's over because the cage is full."

Bearing a cage-filled imo, following the children who rise well, I also rise and stretch greatly.

Looking up at the unnatural sky, I pray that the day passes without a thing today.

Since then, it's been a month since Director Ri fell asleep.

Yes, it's just January today. That is, it is also the day of the covenant.

The day Kai, who headed to the Wang capital, declared that he was ready for everything and that he would come and pick us up.

Inside, is it a thoughts of a thousand autumns? Compared to the days I spent in the woods, even though it was too little time, I was scorched and waiting.

But on the other hand, I miss my life in here so much.

You look too much like the sight I've always admired.

This time of working with your peers, laughing together, and having a common day really seems like a dream.

So I can tell you I've been waiting for you, and I can tell you I've been afraid of coming.

But - you can't keep dreaming sweet dreams forever.

I sharpen my thoughts to that sway that I felt faintly from the junction.

"Sorry, I have a little important work to do, so I have to go when I put my imo down"

"Eh! I was going to make you some baked potatoes that Director Ri taught me today."

"That looks delicious, but yeah, another time."

"Really? Your sister 'too' coming back?

Residents. The young children among them seemed very nostalgic to the inner chief.

Believing in the gentle lie that "Manager Li is going far at work," and in cash, he misses me a lot when he was supposed to stay inside instead.

Especially if Reis' first impression has solidified him with the perception that "I fear you will be angry, sister," though the condition is that there are many children who look at it from a distance.

Either way, I guess the kid felt something disturbing in my words about somewhere sharp.

Because the moment I speak with my job, I get a very anxious look on my face.

"Of course I'll be back. I want to eat baked potatoes."

"Hehe, I'll take care of it!

So laughing and running forward, children running with the same white hair as me.

... Absolutely, I'll be back here. I must be here after saving 'me'.

I'm on that leg, heading to the back of the woods.

The sway of the junction is what I felt from behind that tavern, which is certainly the entrance and exit.

Is that really you, Ky, or that reception reaction, or is it some other intruder's thing, to make sure of it?

As always, through the dark green forest, follow an incredible and sweeping path. And at the boundaries I arrive, I touch the boundaries.

Who is it?

'Ah, it's Lue's voice. It's me, Amami. "

"Is it real? Evidence? '

'Oh... I forgot to make up my mind about that... what should I do...'

Hmm, sounds real.

Manipulating the junction changes the scenery.

The forest landscape I had ever seen swayed, instead appearing at the back entrance of the liquor store, and unlike before, Amami wrapped around fine clothes, possibly some uniform.

"Hey, it's been a month, Amami"

"Yeah, it's been a long time, Lue. Well, hurry up, but call Mr. Reyes and Mr. Coo, and we'll talk about the mansion."

Then a little while later, Reyce, who was compiling a crop trading record with Coo, comes back to the mansion.

Yes, we live in this mansion.

Many residents visit the mansion, and tell them about the absence of the inner chief and whether they can help themselves instead.

While those days were repeated, only when we were accepted by the inhabitants of this house.

"Long time no see, Amami"

"Long time no see, Mr. Reyes. Um... don't be disappointed because there's obviously no Caivon?

"Oh, that's not true. More importantly, he saw you looking well."

"Leishan, I used to whine about Kai Mei while I was sighing."

Back. Yeah, well, the mansion just gets a little busy.

I'm kind of happy with that, and I leak laughter, too.

I knew it was supposed to be Amami picking me up originally, and Kai, I knew it was going to be hard for you to get back on your own, right?

Still, I can understand what you'd really expect, too.

"Then let's get to the point quickly... we're ready. I'd like to head to the capital today and tomorrow if I can."

"I don't mind that... are you okay?

"Yeah. I have an official status right now. So if it's not too much, we can keep going."

"Well, that's the uniform."

"You look great. - Amamie."

When I leave tomorrow, I will leave the rest to Ku alone.

I turn my gaze to ask Reyce if she'll be okay.

I guess I figured out what this one was trying to say. Reyce confronted Ku, and...

"In that case, I will leave here, too. Mr. Ku, are you okay on your own?

"Yeah. I know the price of past deals thanks to Mr. Reishi, and I understand how the price moves. It's a lot worse than it was in the first place."

"Yeah. Probably escalated the inner chief to a good thing he didn't say anything."

"It's okay, I'll get my losses back. So now we're gonna sell it to a bigger place."

"... don't get caught up in the immediate interests"

Yeah, it looks fine.

But then, Kai, you are safe, you can meet the king... I mean, have you been able to reunite with Dahlia?

Hit Amami with that question.

Then he stood up like he remembered something, and...

"Ah! Yes, could you keep it locked in the inner chief's room? Kaivon and Dahlia told me not to touch my body."

"Dahlia, too, huh? So you've met, Kai, and you and Dahlia."

"Oh, yeah. You're really close, those two."

Perhaps there has also been progress regarding the manager.

Her expression seemed full of hope and anticipation.

... Oh well. You and Dahlia are back together safely.

Then... a little later, what is it?

"Okay. Reis, I guess we can leave early tomorrow morning"

"Yes.... finally, Lue"

Yes, finally.

I... have to settle for the past.

I made a mistake once... because nothing is just Bright's person.

Because I must make good my mistakes and my sins.
