"Thank you again today. There have been some noisy events in the city lately, so please be careful with Lord Kai."

"Yes, thank you. But only tonight, you don't seem to have to worry about it."

"Ha, sure. Thank you again tomorrow."

Evening. As the sunset reflects on the tile roofs throughout the capital, remembering the timeless glare, I finish my duties today, here, after the luxury kiosk, Purple Water Hall.

In the beginning, I was still reluctant to work in such a place, but the very act of incising together, eagerly listening to this talk, was still comforting, and I thought, "What shall I teach you tomorrow?" etc.

Especially though I don't seem to be able to afford to enjoy my thoughts on the way home today.

'I have picked you up' words from the human being of the one you can call, heading to the carriage that is parked in front of you.

It still seemed to be Mr. Akatsuki's pick up.

When I got in the carriage quickly, there was already a Dahlia figure there.

"What, they picked you up on the way?

"I was captured, to be exact."

"What are you doing, you?"

If you ask me, I was investigating the magic flow around the sanctuary, and they took me as suspicious as it was.

but he complained that he had promised to go with me to see Mr. Akatsuki today, and that he had been put on this carriage with confirmation because his plans had actually been confirmed.

If you look at it, surely from the window that connects to your seat, your human being was asking about this one.

"Looks like this guy bothered you. I'm sorry, I'm sure he's one of those guys I'm planning on heading to the castle with today."

"Was it to your left? Well, let me get right to it."

The size of the capital was meant to be grasped by the experience I had seen around the other day, but the impact of the forthcoming Birthday or the movement of the merchants and pedestrians who originally lived here was also going to be livelier, and it was going to take longer to get to the castle than I had assumed.

"So, how was the sanctuary?"

"Oh...... I don't know until I get into the details, but at least - I'm pretty sure I see the impact of the Liberator summons. Talking in the first place, do you know why we need to call humans from the outside world to liberate the Seven Stars?

"Well... don't you have a lot of trials? Then the inhabitants of today's world. Then they're tough in battle... or something."

"... there are as many people in the fennel class or with the strength in front of them even if they don't reach it, right? Strength is not the problem, you can't let it go in the first place, once you seal it, it should be."

"Liberate... Can't you? What the hell..."

"By killing, we assimilate ourselves into the world. And by continuing to kill, we're going to seal the world itself with seven stars. The longer we assimilate, the more Seven Stars merge into the world. So the long-sealed Seven Stars will eventually wipe out their existence... is our derived answer.... Don't be mad at me. Listen to me. Perhaps Fennel was really trying to free Lue sometime...?

... how to kill Dragon God for a long time. So, one day, I'll free Lue from the seal.

I can't say enough about it, but - her feelings there, hopelessness, do not include disappointment.

Unilaterally pushing the way it takes time to be so ruthless is still -

"... sorry, forget it. But, well... it's not possible to free a long sealed Seven Stars. You've almost lost your powers as an organism."

So why can the Liberator awaken the Seven Stars?

Is it true that when you are summoned, you also have the power necessary to awaken something?

"But - there is actually an example of liberation. You should know that, too."

"Oh, about the semi-final continent..."

"No, I'm not talking about it... it's time to talk about it, what happened to the Dragon God. I'm pretty sure Lue has changed the way he seals it more than he is here. I put up with you so much, don't bother..."

Dahlia stares hard at this one, uncommonly exasperated with emotions as she is rocked by the carriage.

What position does that come from?

Is it because of Lue's desire to save 'someone', who said that the seal should be stronger and exist somewhere on this continent?

Or just in the national interest - no, isn't that right? Right, that would be good enough.

I was just a little scared of this guy's reaction, and I was postponing it - is it time for the tide?

"... it's not something to talk about in this situation, but it'll be done soon, I'll tell you"

"... please"

Swallow the swordfish, white throat. That look with haste and anticipation.

Yes, it is. It's a story that should be, and it's natural to be.

Because that's the Dragon God, the most powerful seven stars.

"I killed him."

"... what?

"I killed the Dragon God."

I could kill him.

My struggle in the game age was such that the combination of maneuvers as if the madness, the enormous amount of time, and the gap in specifications - more than anything else - the desire to "go with her to the outside world" crossed that strongest.

"... you're lying, that's what happened..."

"You can do it, I can. Look, even more so..."

And I will continue to tell you that I have defeated the seven semi-final stars and distributed dragons that I can call my own demons as the seven stars of change.

"Bullshit. Look, the Seven Stars are the world itself. Give him - why, why so much power..."

"... now that I think about it, I think this is why you and I are here."

Teammates deeply involved in that sword. And me, the possessor.

This sword, which stuck to only one point of 'taking away', was possibly also brought to bear the meaning of 'taking away control of the world'... what a thought.

"It's me, I can kill you. It's not a game, but if the effects of weapons and abilities work, even in this world, multipliers say things. That's why I killed him."

"... it's a force that overshadows everything. Our struggles, our wars, our seals."

"But your steps are not in vain. You know that, right?

Yes, it's not for nothing. That doesn't make it easy to lose sight of the fact that the inhabitants of this continent have been given a time of peace.

But when I thought this guy might come to that thought, I couldn't tell him.

But - fortunately, my friend's mental didn't seem yawdy enough to break to this extent.

"... a little easier. Hey Caivon... if the Seven Stars wake up... will you kill them? Without any hesitation, literally out of this world, will you let me vanish?

But to pretend, Dahlia spouts those words weakly.

It kind of makes my chest bitter, weirdly, on the side of it.

Sure...? The seven stars I've fought so far are 'dragons'. That's why I was able to inflict tremendous damage with the effect of my Abilities.

Besides... Ryugod just hit his biggest blow in a situation where he was made to ice and couldn't move.

And the Preseed Dragon parasitized into Kanich, and after planting more nukes in Leis, that is, he just knocked them out in a state that wasn't in the mood.

How far can a seven-star in perfect condition - at least I can defeat the opponent I finally sealed because of two shun and dalia...

But if they expected it, if they wanted it, they'd have to answer it like this.

"Super spare. Leave it to me."

You were satisfied with the answer, Dahlia... no, she smiled gently, like a zero...

"... is that right? It's... very reliable."

Yes, I shrugged.

"We have arrived. I will now take you to Master Akatsuki."

Finally arrived at Nagoya Castle. It still confuses my brain just like the way it looks.

I think it's lacquered, I think it's beautiful the walls of White Asia, but if you look closely, it makes you look subtly like a patchy, what a complicated feeling it is that it is a white stone wall, or a stone wall that should have been built by piling stones up, just digging a ditch in stone.

No, I need to know. It's a very fine building, isn't it?

"Really... you've been able to reproduce so much so well with just my graffiti..."

"The contents look pretty good, too. There's a solid tatami room, and the hallway is well built."

"Hehe, one day I will want to call the engineers here to prepare a similar temple for my country"

Hey, are you aware of that? You, the tone of voice stays with the woman just now.

You were shy in front of me, what's the matter, suddenly?

But I find it terrible to point out why.

"... oh yeah. Invite me then, too. I like to fall asleep in a big sitting area."

"Of course, let's invite them. Let's have a drink or a banquet."

And again, 'Dahlia' returns to 'Kuji'.

Showing the agitation you can no longer hide.

That's how I went up the castle stairs, and when I reached a height high enough to see from the window to the edge of the capital, I finally got to the front of that door.

That's unmistakable. It's a stunning piece of Fusuma paper with beautiful mountain waters in some light color.

When the guided person speaks up, he returns a riddled voice called 'Let in', which seems to belong to Mr. Akatsuki.

I beg your pardon.

"Hmm. Then the others stay back, because we have some confidential stories to tell."

Should this also be called a kind of upper seat, where she sits deep in a stage-high seating area, lowering the ladies and escorts who were indoors.

Regardless, objections also rise from people who surprise this one, but even that makes her kick ass.

So, when it was just me and Dahlia and Mr. Akatsuki who stayed indoors, she finally called out to me, "Come closer," as I recall.

"Thank you very much for inviting me today."

"What, I got interested in being a friend of the Lord? Is that your boy?

"I'll see you first. I say Dahlia."

"Hmm... I don't even know you had a friend like this... is there anything I can prove it to you?

"Dear“ Kouren, "I was taught the art. Right...... take a look at this"

That's what Dahlia said, creating a square, plank-like flame from her palm to show.

Change it, as if it were a shadow painting, to one form.

That's a fox. It's a flame that pictures the face of a fox, often created in shadows.

But this also has a firm body, and the faint color changes of its flames and the sparkling flames of whether they are specific to witchcraft move smoothly as if they were animations.

"... one day, just the right time to give up your own child, it's something the two of us have devised. Don't you recognize him?

"It's... oh, I miss it. Then I taught my mother too. My daughter Alicia often asked me to show her this."

If it's a shadow painting, it's a painting. Shown it, she leaks words to remind her of the old days, as she gently closes her eyes and bites them off.

"Well... then the Lord is" Dar, "the" best friend of mine "my mother was talking about. I never dreamed of looking like that."

"... is that Dar? Speaking of which, we haven't been able to fix that call for long."

"... well. Was he a wise man whom the LORD had made the capital and who had given him numerous knowledge?"

Yes, brother. I just want to make a huge objection, but I'll be patient a lot.

Is the Virgin the Sage Next! I don't know why, but all my teammates seem to get two cool names.

He looks thrilled and is completely eating a kibble with the two people he is happily talking to in front of him, but for now, your brother is going to count even the number of tatami and distract you.

"But...... I see. My mother said," In my position, it is difficult to see you anymore, "but I was certainly convinced to hear your name.... Dahlia, isn't that a name given in familiarity or awe?

"Yes, I am Daria herself, the Virgin in Sarsgard."

"It's causal. I didn't know the Lord, who was the foundation of the capital, was the flag of the battle that eventually took place."

"… become, cannot be said to be. We chose to be on that side."

"Perhaps it was in your mind that your mother withdrew her hand from the battle as soon as possible and agreed first to a republican system..."

"Lord Akatsuki..."

All right, I'm done counting. This room is four or six tatami, quite a large hall.

Hmm, if there are any important projects, will people gather here?

If you look closely, you also look like a woodworker with a lot of work done between columns. Um, I thought it was a castle just for the outside, but isn't this a fine Japanese-style castle?

Well, that's what it feels like to fall asleep in one of these big tatami rooms.

"- Von! Kaivon, are you listening?

"Oh, I'm sorry, what's wrong, Dahlia?"

"No, that's why Akatsuki wants to know more about our identity. Well, I mean, it's gonna take a lot of explaining, so I don't know what's going on."

"Hmm, apparently Kai is tired... should we change the day?

"Oh no... then for now... I'd like to have Alicia present"

And then a little bit, the sound of the room opening, and at the same time, the sound of running through the toasts and tatami.

"Bonzah! Thank you -! Thanks to you, I have more opportunities to go outside -!

"Stop, don't get stuck! Pushing the tail is - oh, good smell, good smell..."

"Come on in. Please inhale fully. I thank you so much... go to your bedroom."

There's too much of a gap between the appearance and the feathers eating fox assault.

Yeah, I get all sorts of gorilla shreds!

When I managed to push her away and push her towards Mr. Akatsuki, I thought it was something with a very frightened look on her face, and she had such a loving look on her face as if to watch my daughter grow.

"I have good eyes while my daughter. Hmm, if you do become my stepson, you can eat me every day."

"No, I gave it to Mr. Simiz for the recipe! Besides, it's quite an easy dish, so I hope you can make it in this castle."

"Mm, what is that? I didn't know the details of the competition the other day because it was closed!

"Mm-hmm. This man you found created a wonderful product. It's the ultimate flavor."

After all, when Inari likes Inari sushi, it seems to be engraved in his soul over the walls of dimensions and the world.

First, explain who I am and how I ended up with Miss Alicia.

That I met Miss Alicia in the first place.

Lady Alicia lied aggressively about a case with a hippo whose clouds were getting suspicious.

And that I caught that lie and provoked that competition.

"Daimyo, you were exactly what I expected. But I don't see the key purpose, why I acted that way"

"... to see you, Lord Akatsuki."

Precisely to meet her former representative, to connect her face with her daughter, Mr. Akatsuki, and even more so with Miss Alicia, who would be her daughter.

"... is that for real?

"Yeah, I mean it. I mean, at this moment, it's like my goal has been achieved."

Its overly beautiful appearance, its eyes, dwells a swordswallowing glow in Russia.

I remember such a frightening thing as something crawling up my arm in a bright red glow that I could remember the demon, emanating from a softly narrowed place.

Why not? I feel like escaping from this gaze is the result of closing this path, and this one stares hard and hard at the loser and her eyes.

But at the next moment, that swordswallowing look suddenly collapsed to make a noise, and the other side slipped away from sight first.

"... trouble. It's been a long time since I lost my connection, but that's how I was asked..."

"Mr. Bong! Isn't that a little strange!? Why are you my mother when I'm here!

"No, it's not like that."

I thought you were a strict, adult person, but you're still a parent and child!

While I was in a hurry to solve the misunderstanding, I bowed my head to say that this one was also bad.

"Hmm, he wants to see his mother. Is that what you wanted to introduce me to Lord Dahlia?"

"Ha-ha-ha... I see. You come here to see your grandmother, and you happen to meet me, her grandson... from there you find the possibility, and you follow that path all the way here... I'll do it, Mr. Bong. Isn't that quite fateful?"

"I thought it was a good bet for a break. Well, I'm sorry I imitated you."

"No, because if that's the case, I'm the first one to use it."

but the fact is that it was very convenient for me to meet her.

Fateful...... I sure am now, no since I came to this world......

"Destiny..."

"Caivon, you better not think too deeply, at least not yet"

"... right. In the meantime, please make sure you let him meet his predecessors at the get-together. Please."

"Oh, of course I don't mind. Hehe, your mother will be delighted. Best friend to face for a long time anyway. It will cheer you up."

"Ha... but was it the Virgin? Then I'm also convinced that Mr. Bong called himself 'a warrior and a first-degree'. Heh heh, maybe the guillotine was lucky not to have to step on the tiger's tail."

With that said, she and her mother. Two people, who only look like sisters, smile elegantly as they hold each other's mouths.

... Ha, this destructive power is no good. Oh...... you must be too beautiful for both of us.

"Well, if that's the case, that's the end of tonight's requirement... but what do you say, having a really playful time?"

"Hmm! Wait a minute, Mother. Look, I was the one who laid eyes on you first."

"Damn, it's a joke, don't be so annoying. What do you say, Kai? What makes you the comfort of your daughter while you wave that arm here? In that case, I wonder if it will fit in a little bit."

Somehow I can make such an invitation while making jokes about getting on with a wheelchair that won't go out of style in the current situation.

I do like this place, too.

but it took me a while to wait for that invitation.

"I'm sorry. You can't give this man to another human being right now."

"Hmm, still? I'm just saying. Because the Lord's innards are so delicious."

"Ha ha... I will wave my arms to make it even better during the production, so please give me a break"

"Mmmm... I haven't eaten that yet... I'm looking forward to it"

Ends soothingly, tonight's meeting.

When the path ahead became certain, it was first to breathe relief.

On the way home.

The moon is completely up, and only the sound of the feed carriage echoes down the street.

There was no conversation in the car, just a quiet, sleepy look at Dahlia's head swinging cocklessly.

I wonder if he has something.

As far as what's going on today...... it still seems to be affecting my personality.

That's when you're alarmed, or when you can't contain your emotions.

Do you spend a hundred years living a life where your gender changes and you are required to behave as a woman?

Maybe that's too much time for you to live as a man for less than thirty years, huh?

"... people, change. Sometimes things change without being able to fight..."

I look up at the sky as if it were dusk, but only a little too late for dusk.

As the scenery flows, try to chase and follow the moon, just in the wind of the night.

At the end of the carriage, I could see the fabric shop.

I felt a shadow rushing over the fence surrounding the site.

"Is that... is there someone like a ninja after all"

Human beings in this capital. Are you also Mr. Akatsuki's subordinate or equivalent intelligence officer?

"It's a strange place, really."

It was just a quiet time until a friend who had already completely fallen asleep woke up hitting his head against the wall with Gotun.
