"Mr. Simiz, we all had twenty guests for the day, didn't we? Then why don't we make it look like a chick, so that our cooking can be seen"

"I see... but this is also a number of people..."

"So, you can prepare the dishes and serve them out of sight from the stage, and show you the main dish, or the part that looks good."

"Well, when you do, you'll see the scene where you use fire and the giant fish. Good for you, Lord Kai. Rethink your placement quickly!

At first glance, it always looks the same, Mr. Kai.

He looks more like a serious meeting than usual, so much so that Lue and I kind of get a boisterous view.

Though...... obviously a different trick goes in there.

"Miss Alicia, look forward to the day. Oh, yeah. Hey, actually, I have a little extra prototype, so come back later. Don't tell anyone."

I call in Alicia, who is in command nearby, and she looks like she talks with a nice smile.

An unexpectedly breathtaking, slightly pranky look with a nice suggestion.

... I see. I guess this is the emotion that people around us usually have towards us.

"You're so sweet on Alicia, Kai-kun."

"... yeah, right. Conversely, we usually know how sweet Kai is to us."

"... I understand with my head, but it's not very funny."

"... I agree. I need you to serve this more than usual tomorrow."

"Oh!? He's stroking his head! That was my job!

Mi, I can't watch! But I don't know what I'm gonna do to the gap I took my eyes off!

Then Dahlia, who was going somewhere with Hamu, drew the gap between the trees and came back here.

Have you even put leaves on your head and gone so far back?

"Mm-hmm. Are you still keeping an eye on him? It's okay, because he's not brittle enough to imitate what's gone too far."

"Yes, no... where were you two going more than that?

"I was following the magical currents inside this sanctuary. Then this kid followed me."

"Hahaha - I followed you so you wouldn't get lost, Ham"

I walked over to Totetote and Lhue, and I could just hold him to Lhue.

I'm a little jealous. It kind of reminds me of the kids, too. That's why...

"Yes."

"Wow, what a sudden"

"I thought I'd catch you not going anywhere by yourself again."

"... well, if that makes you feel any better. Don't worry, he'll be back soon."

Really, you're too conjectural. Guru.

When she tells Miss Alicia about the change of placement for the day, she immediately adapts to it and begins to give instructions to Tekipaki and her surroundings.

A human daughter who still governs the capital. It catches my attention all the time, but when I look at it this way, it does combine the same amount of Rindo as his mother, Mr. Akatsuki.

Beautiful after all, what a working woman is. Look, come here for a second.

"Miss Alicia, could you come here for a moment?"

"What's wrong, Mr. Boom?"

"No, because it motivates me to stay close to you... I was joking, and I've drawn a few simple drawings right now, and I wanted to arrange these chicks for the day"

"... Hmm, this is going to be ready in a couple of days."

"That would help. Yes, then I'll give you this. Eat it at rest."

From her head glancing at the drawings, her triangular ears dance glimpsely.

Giving away the hey guy I took out of the item box earlier, making me want to caress him all the time. Speaking of which, she said she had never eaten before.

"... you kind of feel bad for both of us. True. Thank you, Mr. Boom."

"Oh. Then I'll get back to work. You keep the drawings."

That was when I tried to come back to the meeting with Mr. Simiz again.

I feel strange signs on the pretext and turn my gaze further behind this sanctuary in the direction where it is said that there is an altar.

New green forest. This land is like an early summer mountain. But the signs I'm feeling now are like some kind of sacred, harsh breath of nature emitted by a rugged spiritual peak.

Something like that is slowly approaching me, and I stop and stare at you.

"I'm fine, Lord Kai."

"... something will come. Everyone, gather here."

Gather all the people around you in one place, including Mr. Simiz's men, and alert Lue and Reis as well.

Perhaps you both felt this sign, that Lue was holding Mu even harder, and that Dahlia, who for some reason is being held by Reyce...

"Let go of me for a second.... I see, the more the month goes by, the better. I guess I'll just stand by the side of the welcome."

With that said, Dahlia walks out to those who show signs.

And the other, Miss Alicia, followed Dahlia lightly somewhere, disappearing into the woods as well.

"Lord Kai, didn't you feel the attention of your predecessors?

"My predecessors...... are you a former lord?

"Yes. A high-ranking operator like Master Alicia says he can sense the signs. Perhaps my predecessors are on their way."

I see. So you two reacted.

I'll tell Lue and Reis that too, because there's no need to be on guard.

Why do you look grumpy at all?

"Mmm... even though it just looks like the usual Kai-kun"

"Hmm? I'm just the way I always am, huh? Oh, now you're hungry, huh? I just gave it to Miss Alicia, but yes, eat this for three."

"Ah! This is the guy I ate yesterday! Love this, Ham!

"Thank you, Kai."

While we are doing so, the signs get stronger and we turn again to the back of the woods.

Then there, Dahlia and Miss Alicia. And the other, as if Mr. Akatsuki and Miss Alicia had been added and divided by two, saw another fox slowly coming this way, mixed with a gentle look at the harsh atmosphere.

"... an extinct beauty, huh? I see. This is..."

That woman, who should be called a lemon color, or somewhat lighter hair color than gold, comes this way with a breathtaking smile on her face, talking to Dahlia with pleasure.

To the lid, my predecessors and I exchanged sights. At that moment, incredible emotions, mixed with fear and emotion, boil down, as if vast nature had spread before your eyes.

Can be seen, not distracted. All I could do was wait for her quietly, savoring a feeling similar to that of compulsion.

You're your friend, aren't you?

"... Yes. My predecessors."

It was such a strange voice, not an ear, as if it were spoken directly to the head.

"It's okay with Kouren. Are you..."

"It's me, Auntie. He's a very good cook."

"Heh, really? Nice to meet you, Boom."

"Pumpkin just laughs. Call him Kai because he looks pathetic."

"Oh, really? Well, good to see you, Kai."

One name after another changes before this one opens its mouth satisfactorily.

That's right, stop being a punk. Thanks for your help, Dahlia.

"I hear you're all out of your hands for me, right? That's why I came to say hello... and on the contrary, I'm sorry I made you stop."

"I was going to go see him later from me. Well, you look better than I thought. More than anything."

"Right! Dear Auntie, I heard you've been sick enough lately that you can't walk, but that's not true! Looks like we could have dinner together for the day!

Miss Alicia moving her tail happily and Dahlia with a rare and reassuring expression.

I see. I also felt a slight sense of peace in my heart that this person named Kouren was such a person that it entailed an atmosphere somewhere more like a mother than a atrophy.

"Than that...... Kai? There's something strange about your magic flow. This is lechery, isn't it? No, Alicia, you have to turn around on your own."

"Chi, it's not the same, Auntie. There are circumstances..."

"Once Miss Alicia's valve is true. Don't make a scene. Can you do something about this, Kouren?

"Right... Kai, come a little closer"

No, that's why I always say I'm right. He called me first. I have to go.

Walking right next to her, an arm that has been stretched out abruptly grabs this head and holds it for a long time.

Shit! No, please don't. It's not that age. It's only good for a nine-year-old boy to be adored! Oh good smell......

"It's hard to neutralize. You should learn a little more about race-specific techniques."

"Ki, I'll remember the liver...... Yay, it's good for you, Mr. Boom."

Sudden drowsiness strikes, and thoughts wash away as the waves quickly draw.

When I realize it, I also release this head and look around with a somewhat strangely neat head.

... I knew it wouldn't make any difference. If I insist, is it about as scary as the sight of Lue and Leis?

Then Miss Alicia walked over here and peered into her face.

"What's up, Miss Alicia? Make it look so strange."

"Hmm, apparently it's back to normal. Until just now, you must have smiled at me and said," What's wrong with you, you look so cute? "

"What are you talking about, you Doskebefox?"

...? No, wait, wait, now that I think back, I knew I was crazy?

It kind of makes me feel like I was keeping Miss Alicia from this one.

On the contrary, I remember stroking my tail, ears and head.

"Yes, then, Mr. Dahlia. Give me a description of the situation."

"Miss Alicia was aggressively provoking horny because she was on the verge of falling into the power of Masato. Fine Play"

"OK to grasp. Let me thank you for this one. That's why Fox."

"Hey, what is that word... well, I couldn't get rid of my horny hair, either, and I'm coming."

"Hehe, apparently you were a good friend of mine originally? Then I'll say hello to everyone else, so I'll see you later."

With that said, Mr. Kouren leaves without making any footsteps.

He was a stranger somewhere, called a voice color and a good trick, whose very existence is quite rare to the signs.

"Well, age is age, so be it. He should be 600 this year."

"Ha!? Seriously, you look like you're 30 years old... and the elves are bright blue."

"Kouren is special. Whatever... you're the one who left the seal to me."

The look on Dahlia's face clouds on the lid. And only those eyes turn to Miss Alicia for a moment with chillies.

… there are circumstances that we cannot talk about here.

"I'm going to be looking around for a while now. Good luck setting up the venue, then, both of you."

"Aye. We almost got a layout, and we'll be done in a little bit."

"Mine will be over soon, too. No, it ended so fast that I thought," Why don't we make a reason somewhere and stop by? "

Even if the work is done without anything, in fact, the appearance of the Masato and the condition of Dahlia and today's work that feels disturbing somewhere. Then we lost so much and left the sanctuary behind.

But I want you to tell us to go back because Dahlia wants to talk to Kouren.

"... I'll stay, too. Daria, it's time for nothing to hide."

"... you don't seem willing to pull it off. Miss Alicia, I'm sorry, but we, Caivon, are going home with me, so why don't you stay back?"

"We can't leave outsiders behind... but Mr. Dahlia is apparently an associate of this country. Okay, I'll have a magic car on its way later."

"I'm sorry. See you later."

With that said, Dahlia will try to stay not only with me, but also with Rue and Reyes.

And it was Mu's figure that was left with him in the stream.

"Well, then it looks like Kouren went back to the altar first, and we're headed there, too."

The altar, I had imagined, was a Japanese-style shrine somewhere, but surprisingly, it should be a Western style, a similar form of building to the temple.

As I stepped into the temple of Shiraya, which soars in the green, my voice immediately sounded.

"There you are, Dar. And everyone else."

Behind the temple, there was a small stone chair, where Mr. Kouren sat.

But... unlike the one I saw earlier, the one with the wrinkles engraved on her face is like an old woman...

"Enough to give you a split, I thought you must be feeling unwell... you're old enough"

"Excuse me? Yearly. And... who should have been dead long ago."

Dahlia speaks it flat. Split? I just met her outside. She split? I felt it, and it smelled hard to say but sweet and gentle.

I don't know what kind of ninja you are, but you're about to say it.

"... the power of sealing also empowers administrators. And it's me."

"... is that the reason for your ridiculous status"

Convinced somewhere of what was said. Previously, when I saw Dahlia's status, I did recall that this guy's level was a strange description.

"Let seals be managed as a force, not a burden. Well, there were some disputes that I didn't want because of. So, you're weak because you're supposed to have that sealing power..."

"Yeah, that's the thing. Somewhere, the seal has already been unsealed."

"... right. And apparently this place is also targeted."

What Dahlia talks about is the presence of Masato. And the truth that there was a strange part to the art ceremony that covered this continent from the beginning. It was predicted that Fennel had done something with this seal.

"... I knew it was a distortion. The very fact that the contending human beings cooperated with each other thinking only of each other's rights, not intending to hold hands from the bottom of their hearts."

"Don't say that now... you knew there was only one way."

"Still, yeah. We cooperated in the seal because we were blinded by the mighty power we gained... what other lords thought, though I was different"

"So, yeah. Naturally, it is necessary to unseal and turn its power to call the liberators. I was going to use my glaring greed to make the seal stronger."

What the two of you talk about is the situation at the time. A more distorted organization than Endoresia, the formation of a seal formed on top of the conflict in the country. That, indeed, seemed distorted and not strange whenever the debacle appeared.

I wonder what Lue thinks. She has taken everything all by herself and spent time alone.

"... maybe I'll come up with the option of destroying myself before that seal is lifted. Then... will you wait over there first?

"Yeah, that's fine. I've lived enough already. But... what are you gonna do with the seal unsealed? You know you're not the kind of person people can fathom, right?

"What? Fortunately, I have a human collaborator. Even the Seven Stars are so comforting."

With that said, Dahlia smiles softly and looks at this one.

Snort back quietly. Sometimes, just like I promise to clean everything up.

I guess she also saw such an exchange. He smiled at me to make me think I was far more beautiful than I was earlier.

"When you're done, I'll tell my daughter and grandson from my mouth. Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh

Then it was then. Mu was quietly listening to the Lues, but she quietly turns to Mr. Kouren.

"Auntie, are you ill? He looks very healthy. Hum. Same Ham as Ham."

"Oh...? - Honey, is this girl...?

"Oh, I know my people, and they're protecting me now."

"Hey, have you noticed? This kid seems to be close to me, right?

"What?... are you serious? Didn't realize it before."

Then the two look at Hamu and give him a look as if he had found something even rare.

That's just about my favorite kid, so Rue, who had grown up, also walks over and hugs Hamu.

"What's wrong with this girl? Don't do anything weird, will you?

"Yeah, I'm not. He's half soulless."

In the next moment, Rhue unfolds the magic guide of recovery.

"Hamu, are you okay?!? Were you hurt?

"Wah, white girl, calm down. I'm not injured anywhere."

"That was a bad way to put it. I mean, it's like me. Too connected to the sealing ritual, I'm becoming the other half of the ritual itself… a being made up of magic. It's called the Spirit Species. So the child is also like his spirit species."

"Look, there are fairies that often appear in fairytales, harmless spiritual bodies that exist in demons, right? Yeah, it's like a half fairy tale kind of thing. Kyvon kind of understands that, doesn't he?

No, I'm not surprised. What is this, a munchkin spirit? Is it a rare species?

A fairy or something like that... is that what sitting kids are for?

"Mmmm, I don't know what else to do if it falls apart... I'll publish it for the first time."

Then Hamu took off her own straw hat, which is a trade mark, and showed it.

There's a little triangular ear there, misplaced in brown fur.

"Were you a hamster?!?

"Ha-na-chan, you're too surprised. Ha-ha. Ham is a wandering hamster. Lonely Being Hamu."

"But you speak the language..."

"Ham is a special ham. As a representative of everyone, we need to find a safe place to live."

Seriously. What is a ham rat really though he said mummy. He just thought I was imitating him because he looked exactly like me.

"You were traveling alone, my lady?

"I've been helped by a lot of people. Ham. Is Grandma going to be one of them?

"Heh heh, maybe it will."

Will Mr. Kouren also eventually become a soul-only being?

Assuming that the sealing ceremony not only gives power and life to the subject, but also has the effect of becoming such a being sooner or later, all the more so, I don't understand why I let go of that power.

It is nothing more than a future of immense longevity, mighty power, and overcoming death.

Then... what the hell did the man who called the liberator want and what did he call the liberator?

"... the future as a species, not as an individual,"

I come to that conclusion. If the liberation of the Seven Stars can really moisturize the country and break the situation on the continent of Sarsgard, can you let go of the power that only one person can gain?

"It was originally your purpose today to see how you are and how the seal has changed... but it's a good thing we were able to talk about the worst case scenario right now."

"Yeah, really. It was a pleasure to see you again while I was human."

Dahlia cuts this story up and says goodbye, whether she decides she doesn't need to talk any more about it for today, or if she cares about Mr. Kouren's body.

Perhaps the Masatos will go for this place again. Besides, there must be a collaborator who knew that someone who had guided him somewhere would be more active in getting into and out of the sanctuary at a get-together with Selieu than he appeared at this time.

I guess Dahlia thinks it's time to look over there now.

Whatever it is, so am I.

"By the way... do you mean Hamu? Would you mind keeping it with me for a couple of days, if I could?

"Yeah!? Oh no... are you so cute to keep Mu away from me?

To the sudden offer, Lue, who is stroking Hamu's little ear, hugs him to hide Hamu.

"The child needs to learn his powers a little. Innocence, I don't doubt people. I'm innocent, but I need to know how to protect myself."

"Well, then I'll teach you magic, right? So you can't do it?

"Yeah, you know what you're not capable of right now, right? I can't use magic on that kid. The technique of the frontal world doesn't fit."

"White Neighbor, it's okay. Ham. This aunt is not a bad person."

"Well, of course I know that..."

She is a completely overprotective mother. I know how you feel.

Because I can't even think of keeping Rue or Reis where I don't know them.

"Then Hamu will be training for two days. Hamu. I'm sure it's as splendid as it looks."

"Wow, okay, honey! Well, thank you for this girl."

There were a lot of things, but now I can safely digest my plans for today?

Head to the demon car to pick you up as you jerk your hands back to the end.

It feels strange. It's kind of like things suddenly moved out, the flow moved out.

"... maybe it's already started"

"Caivon?"

"I don't know, myself. It's just... it's going to be a little rough."

"... it also hurt that you lost your mind today. Now you're not letting anyone else handle the Massachusetts, are you?

"Correct.... worst of all, there's a chance they're already on the run"

"Right. Fortunately, Kouren was able to make you feel better about the situation, and if that Hamu is nearby, be careful with the opportunist guy."

Looking back at the temple, which is no longer visible, I look at the fresh green forest that spreads behind me.

... If I could, I wouldn't want to imitate this beautiful view.

Shaken by the magic car, quietly approaching that time, I also switched my consciousness to that of an emergency.
