Silence. I know it has nothing to do with the noise due to the nature of the place called the Royal Castle, but this garden truly hears nothing, not a bird's voice, not a bug's voice.

Only the sound of nature shaking with the occasional wind reached Sawasawa and his ears.

"... Guys, stay out of this square formation. For once, I'm in a triple bond... because it might affect me at the stage I'm inside."

"Mm-hmm. As things stand, already in the deepest junction, Lord Elecler has undertaken all the malice on the continent. Well... even she's already been drunk."

A garden without sound. But the sight I see now was something that was not strange when the shouting was ringing.

The center of a junction that is tripled. So, Elecler was rambling around.

Strike the junction, open your mouth wide, flutter your hands out of cod, and strike the junction again and again, and again, and on the ground.

It no longer seemed horrible, worthy of calling itself the embodiment of madness, the frenzy.

"Ka-chan... Ka-chan..."

"... should mum, face, lie down"

"Ginia... No, Ham, Ham promised. Ham. We talked a lot earlier, Ham." It's amazing to see all kinds of things, "he said," I'll keep watching you till the end. "

"Really... the moment a parent dies... it's still a hard thing"

One red mist after another pours in to cover the night sky as everyone watches.

That sucks into Elecler's body and increases its madness.

The face is no longer someone else. You deserve the name of the Seven Stars, that's true.

"... the fog cleared. I thought maybe we were done getting together."

At the next moment, with a loud bursting sound, the first junction was destroyed.

Its too much pressure and heterogeneous atmosphere freezes the expression of the gathering human face.

"King, behind me"

"Okay. … take on so much existence… Lord Elecler is ready to go so far…"

"Nao, you. Equip me with the knife I just gave you. From now on, I will have you fight in this kingdom."

"... Yes"

And Nao, you take that knife from Lue, sheath it on your hips, and quietly head to the junction.

Nao you enter between the third and second. And Elecler, who is beyond the second junction, begins to tap the junction harder in an attempt to eliminate the approaching existence.

Crazy to death. How much pressure does he feel to see it at close range?

"... I will not cooperate in any way this time. Yes, because I've decided."

"Yes... she should defeat Nao alone, right?"

Talk to Reis inside his chest as if to be sure.

He alone can make her wish come true.

But at least I think it's just advice, and one last time, I'll check Elecler's status.

Everything, it was different. It was no longer a complete mix, and existence itself was a different thing.

I don't know the effect. But I'm going to show you Nao's skill in making you feel bad about bringing something to life.

"Mr. Nao! He's definitely strong. But the power should be shredded beyond being in the junction. In an instant... you decide everything in an instant. Before they do something!

"Yes! … ready, done. Mr. McKenzie, Mr. Leue, please lift the Second Connection"

Then, Nao, you pulled out the knife and took a unique structure, like bringing it next to your face.

That... was shown only once before by Leue -

"In an instant... painful thoughts, because I don't want you to...!

"Huh! What about that setup?!?

Once, Lue showed off on a mock line with you Nao, Holy Knight Sword Deep Righteous.

It was a blow that dramatically stretched the performance according to the user's skill.

"Come on, Mr. Nao! That's not the kind of thing you can do with a look-alike!

"... yeah, I'll let you do it. He played up to nine flashes at first sight. Even if it fails, that knife will be powerful enough.... if you want it to end in an instant, that's the right choice."

And with the sound of a clear tone, the junction is destroyed, and at that moment - Nao, your figure scratches off.

What sounds almost simultaneously is the cry of Elecler. And nine tracks are engraved on her like chasing after her.

"... brilliant"

"Nao you...... did you really make it"

When you realize it, Nao, you're sitting behind Elecler.

Unexpectedly honks his throat at at the way he quietly holds the knife in his sheath.

Elecler screams. Some resentful voice echoes around it.

"Nao, get out of the junction!

"Yes!"

It was the next moment when Nao you popped out outside the hurry final line, the third line.

A small figure jumped into the junction to replace him.

"Mom!"

"Hamu, no!

Yes, it was Hamu.

Haku-chan hugged Elecler's body so that she could not stop crying.

Then, a slight cry seemed to have lowered his voice.

And - my voice stops altogether, and Elecler's body is wrapped in light.

the garden at night, as the fantastic light lit up, apparently… At the end of the day, she -

"... oh, what a happy man I am"

"Mama, I'm gonna get inside the hammer fast"

"... I meant to, but it's like all the bad stuff is blending in. I'm sure it could have a negative impact on you, too. So... it looks like we're going to have to go back to this world once and for all."

Surrounding the words. But Sugu was deliberately quenched by a sharp drink.

"It's none of your business! Let's go, let's go! The whole strawberry thing is swollen! If you're with your mother, how dare you!

"... really, you...!

Light overflows. From the body of Elecler, a grain of gentle orange light overflows and mixes there slightly, red and black light. Even that, it's all sucked in by Hamu.

"... how dare you. Ham, I studied some of the art and stuff. Ham. I'll be doing my best for a long time to come. So don't worry about your mother."

"... thanks, ha-ha. At the end of the day... it's such a happy thing to be nursed by my daughter... no..."

The garden, once again, stains the darkness.

Only the starry sky and the light of the moon quietly illuminated the great tree and the replanted sunflower.

Not silent, not. It was just a little kid's crying voice that was tearing that night apart.

The next morning. Mu woke up sleeping in the castle room.

Just in case everyone decided to stay in the castle, she finally woke up and she appeared in front of us, gathered together with a dazzling smile, as if she'd forgotten about yesterday or something.

"Morning, everyone!

"Oh, good morning, honey."

"Good morning. How are you feeling, are you okay?

Are there any physical abnormalities? You have to tell me right away, Hamu. "

When everyone speaks to Hamu, who looks energetic, Mu waves her fingers as she says cutely 'Chicchi' with a proud, so-called Doya face.

"Ha ha, no more, ha ha ha! Because of your mother? I took it all and I was reborn. Ham! Hamu has decided to travel this continent while returning to that forest again!

"A journey is so sudden..."

"Ham is awakened to his mission, Ham. Ham has traveled all over the world for a long time. But...... now I finally get it HAM! Ham, I've seen the world. Ham. The experience is that this continent will need to set guidelines and goals to keep an eye on! I'm sure Hamu and the others were all over the world in place of their mother, who has been locked up forever."

She was apparently genuinely burning into that mission, not with strength or kara vigour.

Experience I've seen the world. It felt like a point of convergence if, indeed, instead of Elecler, it was to prepare the world for a time when it would look at the way it is and eventually lead the continent again as the patron saint of the earth.

"First, I'm going back to the woods. I'm gonna tell my people your mother's story. Ha! So...... I'm gonna say goodbye to you for one second today. HAM!

"Well, then we'll send..."

"Yeah. Ham, I'm walking on these feet. Ham. All, look and walk. Walk, watch and walk on this continent on your own feet.... and the white ladies must have been on an important journey."

"That's... yeah, you're right. You know... Hamu has been a strong kid for a long time."

"Yes, sir. Hamu is still here, but Hamu has lived. So strong kid ham. Oh, so it's not Hamchan. Ham! I got your mother's name."

Then Hamu tried to mouth the name, remembering it so hard.

Elecler Harm Collateral. Sure might be a little long for kids.

"Euk...... can you?... hey... ha-ha?

"Elecler Harm Collateral, yes."

"It's okay, Ham! Oh, uh..."

And she spoke her name clearly.

"Give it to me, Amhamu child! I could tell you, Ham!

"... no, no, I can't tell you. I can't tell you"

"It's okay! She's a haunted child! Then I'll travel while it's bright!

I have a bad feeling about it and take a peek at Hamu's status.

Oh...... no, it's already a complete name.

But well... maybe a slightly missing name would suit her better than a daunting name.

"So let me at least drop you off. Successor of the great God of Abundance, O Amhan Son."

"Um, walnuts! Caramel's old man, he's fine, too. When the sunflower fields are finished, I'll come and see you!

"Ha ha, um, I look forward to it"

"Uhm! Oh, can I just ask for one last favor? Huh?

She opens the door well and mu looks back at her trying to rush out.

"That old tree... over there, my mother's grave, I want you to stand up. Ham"

"... that, of course. I will build a fine, great mother's grave."

"Good, Hamu! Then I'm leaving, Ham! I'll drop you off here."

With that said, we all exhale in good breath as if we had left even by storm as we all escorted her straight away.

"... really, you've passed like a storm. I wanted to put on an escort more than just be a rich god in my country..."

"But... I wanted to prioritize that kid's feelings, too. I thought I could blame you... I really just laughed..."

"She's a very strong girl. Even in a sentimental sense...... Rest assured, she was studying surgery in Sarsgard. Her teacher told me the whole story."

"Mm-hmm... that kid today was overflowing with some awesome hegemony. Even in the eyes of Non, she's going to be fine. Anyway, the mother is so fierce that she drinks and drinks up to seven stars."

Oh, sure. Besides, I don't know if it's a lullaby, but I don't think that kid's level... 865 is a bit strong, right?

Even if I'm convinced, I still feel really lonely.

"Hamu... I wanted to be with you more... right, we have to travel, too, we have to go on!

"Hmmm...... Shit...... I should have let him have another caramel or treat for his souvenir...... would he make it if we chased him now!?

Lue understands. But, King... I didn't know Hamu was such a favorite.

Either way, now it is good to see that the seven stars of this continent are now completely destroyed.

It is not yet known how the effects of the disappearance of Harm Collateral will occur.

But there will also be an opportunity to have talks with the Empire in the not-too-distant future.

I don't know, we've been dating for a long time. The fact that she disappears creates a slight loneliness that creates a gap in her mind.

But... goodbye is not forever. I'm sure... I'll be able to see her again.

In a full-blown, sunny sunflower field, I'm sure...

A week has passed since Hamu's trip.

We didn't travel yet, and we stayed in Gardeus.

Of course there are thoughts of hair pulling back, but more than that, there was something left to think about purely.

"Hmmm...... for once, the magic left over from when Mr. Elektral disappeared with Harm Collateral... I think the majority of that is in Hamu"

"That's right... then, until she comes to this country again, you'll keep my return too..."

Yes, Nao, it's your return. Magic born during the extinction of the Seven Stars. I was planning to use it to perform a recall ritual, but I completely forgot.

"Not so distant a future, a successful exorcism, I'll invite my friend to this continent. It's all right, I'm sure he'll hit me with something."

"Really? But...... maybe this was a good idea. I'm sure this continent will change again from now on. It's kind of irresponsible not to look at it."

"... well. So why don't you take a trip, too? This continent, this time not as a mission, but as a journey of freedom."

"Hanging out traveling...... might be a good idea"

Speaking of which, Len, you should be traveling the semi-final continent now, too. What is he doing by now?

"I envy you, Nao is"

"Wow! Dj, Ginia...... please don't surprise me"

Talking in the bickering room, Nao suddenly appeared from behind you, Ginia.

With a big bag in one hand, it looks like some kind of travel support wind.

"... Dear Kaivon. Because this case has been completely cleaned up, and Commander Oink has officially ordered me to return... from now on, I will go with Goto to the port town..."

"... well. Ginia, come here for a second."

Ginia looking soggy, as anyone can see.

That's a lot more expressive than it used to be, and I call her in.

"... Zinnia, with a breath disaster. We'll continue our journey just a little longer. There must also be a return to the semi-final continent. At that time... well, why don't we exchange the linea and go somewhere to eat?"

I make promises as if, to be a child, stroking my soft hair.

Ginia worked really hard. I'm sure her presence put me in that place, Nao, in time for your crisis.

He did more than he was given to do, and indirectly became the basis for saving the continent.

Venus, it's Big Venus.

"Dear Kaivon...... Yes, always. It's a promise, I'll tell Linea too!

"Oh, he might not look so good."

"At that time, alone with me!

"Ha, right"

That's how Zinnia gets behind this mansion.

"Now Zinnia's gone, too,"

"Do you miss me, Mr. Caivon?"

"Hmm... kind of feels like my relatives' kids are going home, I guess"

"Hehe, you're not my daughter there, are you?

"You're not exactly the same age as having such a big daughter. I can't imagine."

"But you were nice to Kai-kun and Ginia, weren't you?

"That's... well, naturally so"

"Oh well. That's the same, isn't it? Well, I'm just gonna come to you, Ken. Apparently, Cromwell, you and Fennel came up with Yoloki's name from the old dossier. I'll check it out and dispose of it if there's a problem."

"Mm, roger. Tell Reis I said hello."

"Of course. I knew you'd be good at racing and managing paperwork and doing research."

"I'm a former luxury club owner, so maybe he was a must-have skill in a way."

That's when I was spending it. A messenger from the castle came so that he could not enter with Lue.

And Nao and I decided to rush to the castle as soon as possible.

"Well done Lord Caivon for coming... sorry for calling you so suddenly"

"No problem. So... what the hell happened?

"Um... Actually, one merchant-style man had asked to enter the castle earlier. However, as you know, from the disturbances of the other day, the royal castle section has for a while restricted access to the aristocratic district as well. Nevertheless, the man came before the royal castle."

"No way...... are you some kind of intermediate?

A disturbing presence that visited the castle, which was gradually beginning to restore calm.

Who the hell is that?

"Better to say it's a touch ahead of time than an intermediate...... An imperial man wants to see me immediately. Apparently, the story is that you're already lurking in the city. I'm trying to figure out how to handle this, but there's only one person around me who's been useless the other day."

"I see... is it good to see that asking to see you means that you have quite a status"

If we have come to talk about being involved in a war in a state of truce, then naturally we should be people with faces in the military.

But the king, as if to see something a little frigid, spreads the letter that was given to him in advance.

"If what is written in this letter is true, what is here now is... the first princess of the Empire, Lady Merliah. Apparently, the King's Seal has been stamped... but I'm treading that this is some kind of joke, a trap."

I feel dizzy in the name of the Messenger of Peace who came.

Melia...... Isn't that the name Elle is now named after?

Sure, I told him to walk on his own feet, but I didn't expect him to decide to hop step jump from full sickness.

"... King, allow that visit. If you can, please let me be present in that seat... maybe I know the person."

"I'll see you first. My name is María L. Mayrrant, First Princess of the Mayrrant Empire."

"… I see you for the first time. But since our country has been geometrically disconnected from Mayrant, we can't even tell if she's a real princess."

"No, this guy is definitely the first princess of the Empire. It was the princess I knew. So, this is the princess herself. Definitely."

No, it really came, the princess.

No way, you don't normally think a princess from that country will suddenly come aboard the other country that was at war until this time, do you?

I came out hiding in the shadows of my room.

"Nah!? Mr. Kai, why are you here?

"I told you. He said he would try to resolve this war peacefully soon. Even you, you've come this far because you feel the flow of war has changed all over the continent, right?

"That's... no, but I can't believe you're with the king of this country..."

The King is a Kyoton in this exchange, but apparently he understands that she is the real princess in front of him.

And finally, the real deal. I asked him what he intended for this visit.

"I would like to acknowledge that she is the first princess of the Mayrant Empire and apologize again for her attitude until earlier. I'm really, really sorry."

"No, I didn't expect you to believe me easily either. But... with Kai here, it's much easier to talk."

Then Elle began to tell her why she had come to this country.

"I came to tell you, the king, that this war is changing and that there are buds out there that can stop the fight. And… it depends on the complete end of the war and the vision of a permanent alliance on the path of enduring coexistence that can repaint the history of previous strife… and, in the worst case, the dawn of the country."

"Well, you're only a princess. What about the king?"

"... that man, your father, turned one day into a frontier. I was originally weak. But for the sole purpose of continuing this battle, I was squeezing my strength and enduring my days. But... at one point, it was like we ran out of fuel, so we could put it on the floor."

... This is also probably the effect of the disappearance of Harm Collateral.

After all, there seems to be no doubt that even the Empire is changing.

"The successor, I'm the only one. And the king himself has named me the next king."

"Join hands with years of war opponents at that time, huh? Aren't you in danger?

"Yes, you will. For one reason I am suspicious of those close to the royal family. So..."

And Melia...... Elle ran out of words like this.

"I would like to ask Gardeus for full assistance. people, technology, resources and funds. I want my country, my empire, to bless all of that."

"... wouldn't you just say that to insist?

"You sell thanks. Suppose my country is back to sanity. Suppose you've lost your aggressiveness to war. But more than all the dungeons have disappeared, any of them could also move for looting purposes. I want you to sell me a favor before that happens."

I understand the story. But at the same time, Elle doesn't understand. That this country is not a mechanism for the royal family to divide everything.

I tell him that economic affiliation is guild driven and that the king is only one power, if analogy, one politician.

"… Still, I want you to work"

"... Lord Caivon. I understand her story and wonder if some assistance would be necessary for future peace. I think it's a different angle to ask you, but what do you think?

"El...... I think Melia is moving in the future when she is chosen as her successor in the not so distant future. At that time, if I had a friendship with Gardeus, no one would disagree with my proposal. I wonder if you believe that the support of the people will also be gained sooner rather than later."

"... build a friendly relationship beforehand with the future emperor, or? Then Lord Caivon agrees."

"Yep. Besides, hunger drives people crazy, as Merliah put it. There will be no harm in keeping aid. Most importantly, I can't imagine the things I can imagine, the faces that started with the commercial guild that has pulled out the eyes of the living horse. I'm sure you'll try to keep the empire in your hands. It will be the king's duty and the purpose of the battle to stop it and keep the empire and its thickest pipes."

"... oh I guess so. All right. Let's move on to the next session of Parliament. Fortunately, thanks to Lord Nao, my voice is also much stronger. It's going to be a long day, isn't it?

With that said, the king has a nihil look that can take both bitter and invincible laughter.

Yeah, I'm sure this guy can get over it.

"... good. Then I'm going back to my country. This time I even visited the surrounding people in secrecy. But any time in a formal way."

"Mm-hmm. Lord Merriam's thoughts have a lot to empathize with too. The Empire will continue to be a great enemy."

"Hehe, I will refine it to be so. Mr. Kai, do you have a minute, time, after this?

"Hmm...... oh, I'm fine"

"Okay. Now, if you'll excuse me for this. I am truly sorry for your sudden disrespect today."

Following Meliá who falls back, I will also follow her after a salute to the King.

Outside between the sights, Nao waited for me with an anxious look on your face.

"Mr. Caivon! Well, if you're looking... and you're there..."

"I'm the first princess of Maillant. Merliah, this child is Nao, the liberator."

"I've heard rumors. Yes, you're Nao... you're really right."

Don't you dare ask me here what's as rumored.

"Yes!? Really princess......!?

"Hey, I'm going to have to entertain this princess. Now if you'll excuse me."

"Ha, yes... I can't believe you and the princess are really friends..."

Perhaps you want to hear in what way the war ended this commotion, came before that great tree, an unpopular place, that is, where access for people is currently restricted.

"Well... were you already made? That's a fine grave."

Hands together, as leaning against the great tree, also made of wood, in front of a tomb sign carved with a number of beautiful sunflowers.

Maybe he's not technically dead. But the ex-Japanese have sex with each other.

"This is... the tomb of someone, someone who knows... is it?

"... we had a really short relationship. But... no doubt, he's a great man who literally dedicated himself to peace on this continent."

After breaking up with Elle, tell him about what happened until today and make him listen. And... her last too.

"... yes. We need to focus more and more on the peace of the continent."

"Oh, but I didn't think you'd be king."

"Well, yeah. I'd like to walk on my own feet... but I don't want to be ready before I do."

"Are you going to leave the country eventually?

"Well, yeah. I will be king. But that's until the country's ready. As you know, I'm a creepy being, a body I don't know from any horsebone that doesn't even draw blood. Honestly, I might tailor my busy father's bullshit and me to the usurper. But still, those people love the Empire. So now that we have the help of a human named Kai, we're rebuilding the country. As a result, I was able to connect with Gardeus, and I got a recovery foothold."

"So, okay?

"It's okay. Fortunately, my uncle is a man of good sense who can be relieved even after I leave the king. If I take over the empire securely next...... I'm going on a journey too. As Kai said, I'll go to the semifinals."

"... right. You're already walking out, too."

"That and this, thanks to Kai. Sa... excuse me when I leave, I need to think about it."

It was then that Elle was stretching with a sunny look.

One of the few humans allowed to enter this garden came.

That is...

"Oh, I was there! Hey, Kai-kun! I'm done with my sorcerer guild errands, and let's go shopping for a bit!

"Lue, apparently we have a customer. Sorry, I'm talking to you..."

It was Lue and Lace.

Looking back, Elle looked at the two of us the same way he was in the game.

"... flowers in both hands, right?

"Well, yeah."

This... is going to be a long day.
