I stayed at Master Fardeen's mansion in Lyzerbesse for ten months......

Finally, the day of travel has come.

The sky, long surrounded by volcanic ash, is finally clear today, and the bright, shining sun illuminates the world out the window.

"You're finally going to be gone.

Good for you. Something that just makes me think you'll always be there. "

Lexie pounding the same hatred.

I got thin and really pretty after a while of watching it.

I guess it's a business where love for Master Faldine can be done.

"Rest assured. Because I'm not free enough to keep you two immersed in a love nest."

Tie the boot string up cuddly and I'll get up out of the chair.

"Then you'll excuse me.

You'll always be fine, sister Lexie. "

When I said that, Lexie put on an arm and turned that way.

"Be a master at best.

Yeah, I can't help it. If it's gone, I don't mind stopping by.

My miserable, pathetic sister would be a little sympathetic and adorable. "

I'm sure we can't really get along forever.

Because there was too much build-up between us from an early age.

But I think that's good.

Because even if we can't get along, I think we can do enough to admit about them.

When I left the guest room and headed to the front door, Master Faldeen leaned against the pillars of the hall and waited for me.

"It's a beautiful day.

It would be a great day to travel. "

Dear Fardeen, narrow your eyes to the light that gently plugs through the window.

You're a painter even if you're not on stage.

It also means that you can see that Lexie is obsessed.

"Dear Faldine, thank you so much for everything.

That you kept Riml, that you proceeded with her adoption process, and that you kept a letter from Mr. Cruz "

"It's all cheap for you.

Lord Cruz and I are friends. "

"I think Mr. Blade would be jealous if he heard that."

Master Faldeen laughed gracefully huffy and small.

"Come anytime.

Because you're my sister-in-law. "

"Yes. Regards, sister.

Brother Faldeen in law. "

About a year after the fires and rocks caused by volcanic eruptions struck the empire of the Ifestio Empire.

I am finally ready to sort out and get ready to start walking towards tomorrow.

A month had passed by the time I fled that catastrophe and took a long walk to reach Lyzerbesse.

The fact that Lyzerbesse was overflowing with refugees from the Imperial capital and lacked enough food, material and labour allowed me, through the Empress, who had also been evacuated, to help all the refugees build their new dwellings and move to another town.

It was a busy day around the corner, but I think it was just right busy for me to lose Mr. Cruz and be heartbroken.

That would be true for Riml, too.

Riml is Mr. Cruz's will and Lady Faldine's measure, and will be recognized as Mr. Cruz's adopted son.

That also makes her identity a baroness from slavery, and she works with dignity as a sidekick to Her Royal Highness Daryl.

His Royal Highness Daryl is also studying swordsmanship in Sauen.

The truth is that studying abroad was taken hostage as a sign of the signing of the alliance.

It's not like I don't have the desire to ask the truth about it.

But His Royal Highness Daryl, whom I met, carried his role firmly in that little body.

That's why Riml followed His Highness, too, to support His Highness.

I'm so sorry for what I did to Riml......

Because we were going to be a family and we lived together for three, and in the end, this is how we fell apart.

Still, on the morning of the day of departure,

"I will make a loyal move to keep Silvius' family name clean."

And to her riddled face I proclaimed was the thought of being pushed back at the same time as I was saved.

I have to do what I can, too.

Out all over the city I bought a newspaper and watched while eating a cafe sandwich.

Then I found the article I was looking for in the corner of that paper.

"Honorary General's Seal Awarded to the late Baron Cruz Silvius"

and the headline says:

The content supposedly made a significant contribution to evacuating the people of the Empire from the catastrophe, but the real feat lies in defeating Demon King Pacis.

That one was greatly surprised when I told Master Iscarios about that whole thing I saw.

Said that the demon king named Pacis was like a demon king who kept avoiding a showdown when even Master Iscarios had no teeth, and that his fall was a great step forward for the human side in the fight against the demon king's army.

I really think Mr. Cruz is an amazing person.

Oh, speaking of Iscarios, it looks like you were married about six months ago.

Your opponent is Prince Evans' eldest daughter, Rachel.

I am only fourteen years old, but I have been longing for Iscarios to fulfill my wish.

Some people make bad rumors about what happened to the duke's duel in the alley because of the political marriage, but it's that and it's a deeply emotional one.

I'm sure you won't let the girl who admires you go down and be taken care of.

Outside the city, a soft breeze was stroking the wilderness.

In front of you, the streets stretch towards the horizon, with potpouts and carriages and travellers.

Come on, it's the beginning of your journey!

That's exactly what I think in my head.

Then,

▽*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:▽

[◆ No reincarnation]

'Right. Don't push it too hard. "

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

And the fairy returned the word.

Think of it, thanks to this fairy, I survived.

I think so.

About a year ago, in the valley of Mount Ifestio,

In my arms Mr. Cruz disappeared in the light.

The armor and clothes I was wearing became light, but only the ribbon I was wearing was left on the spot.

I'm crying like a child with my fists slapped against the gras and the rocking earth.

"Ugh... Cruz, come on... Cruz, come on..."

Smoke and flames blowing from the summit of the volcano intensify more and more.

In time, that flame will also reach where I am.

That's fine, I thought.

There was no reason I wanted to live anymore.

But...

Stand up by squeezing your fist in the ribbon that was falling.

Wipe the tears with the sleeves of your clothes and run out.

I don't know where to go, but go forward anyway.

Mr. Cruz is dead in front of me.

Moaning to live more.

Wishing me, alive.

So, no matter how hard it is, there's a reason you can't find the point of living.

You can't throw yourself out because it's a life that Mr. Cruz protected and wanted you to live.

There's been a big shake.

I lay low before and fall.

And there's a roar all over the valley......

It will surely be the sound of rocks and flames overflowing from the volcano.

There doesn't seem to be much time left.

Where the hell am I supposed to run?

▽*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:▽

- I'm sorry.

"Uh-huh."

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

Hmm? Now...... something in your head?

▽*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:▽

"Uh-oh."

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

Also... what the hell is this?

▽*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:▽

[◆ No reincarnation]

"Climb the slope of your right hand!

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

"What!?

Letters have now clearly come up in my head.

"Climb the slope of your right hand!

What...

There is indeed a slope on your right hand side.

Cliffs rather than slopes......

There's no way I can climb like this...

▽*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:▽

[◆ No reincarnation]

"Meliá now can climb!

Hurry up! '

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

What is this [◆ no name even if reincarnated]... is it a name?

Plus you know my name.

Half-heartedly, I climbed a cliff desperately.

And as I proceeded, guided by the letters in my head, I reached a rocky place with horizontal holes.

I then moved from that hole to the basement of Obermine College in Santa Monia and managed to escape the catastrophe.

The fairy kept uttering words in my head all the way back to Lyzerbesse, of course, until today, when I was tempted to accept Mr. Cruz's death.

▽*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:▽

"Looking for the country in the dark clouds has low expectations.

Ask someone with a hard mouth to help.

Doing so - '

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

Your first destination is Sowen, isn't it?

I'd like to see Mr. Blade, and I'd like to know how Riml and His Highness are doing.

And about the kid Blade and Kukri made...

Children of Mr. Blade and Mr. Kukri.

Is it a boy or a girl?

Is it a naughty child like your father?

Is it a solid child like your mother?

I'm not looking forward to it anyway.

▽*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:▽

"Hey Melia...... are you sure it's good?

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

What is it?

▽*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:▽

[◆ No reincarnation]

"No Faldine, no Lexie, no Iscarios, no Blade, no Kukri.

I build happiness by marrying and having children.

It would have been a good idea to talk about the relationship if you even cared about it.

Even Iscarios, before he got married, came to see me again and again to see how things were going, caring about you in pain.

If you had traveled like this, you would have grabbed the happiness you said you would. "

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

... fairy, you care about the information, the vulgar stuff.

But you'll listen to that advice.

Because this is my decision.

▽*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:▽

[◆ No reincarnation]

"Is it the right way to live to be tied to a dead man?

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

I don't think, I stop.

Tied up......

It could indeed be.

Shortly after returning to Lyzerbesse, I met Master Fardeen.

He kept a suicide note from Mr. Cruz.

That was written before I left for Eisenburg, where it was filled with words filled with feelings that I wanted to tell.

'I guess reading this letter means I couldn't come back to you.

I don't want you to forgive me.

I don't think you have to forgive me.

I've always been scared.

Leaving you to die.

That it hurts you.

So at least I send this letter to sort things out.

I love you.

That was long after I died.

But I hope you're not tied to that.

Because I loved you to make you happy, and never to disturb you.

You can marry whoever you want.

You just have to have kids.

You forgot about me.

What is alive is only related to what is alive.

I'm only in memory anymore. [M]

Even if the memories were sweet and gentle, you can't live with them alone.

Leaving you alive is hope for the future.

Neither did I.

It was Meliá who gave me the contents of an empty me that just set a simple purpose: to live.

I began to want to see the world ahead of me as I protected you and built up fun memories with you.

That's why I think I was born with the feeling of protecting Meliá. [M]

I want to protect all the world that surrounds Meliá's body with my heart.

Even if this body perishes, this thought will not disappear.

So that Merriam's future life may be wrapped in happiness, all the time...... '

Letters I cried over and over again over the past year.

Close your eyelids and you'll remember every word of it.

That is why I would like to do something for you that Mr Cruz could not.

There was another letter from Mr Cruz.

Among them was a line of things that you would have liked to teach me, extended, about seeing my body to Mr. Floussia, about Riml's identity, and about having a portrait of yourself in Lyzerbesse.

And one of them was about Barth, who was born in a church in Lake Forest.

'... I may be the only one in the world who knows about this.

Do you remember Bath, a baby born in a church in Lake Forest?

In conclusion, he has inherited the blood of both the Eugrid and the Ifestio royal families.

That means it's considered a hero's lineage and possesses qualities that could make even the Demon King army a great hero to destroy in the future.

I was very worried when I realized that. [M]

I think it's wrong to force others to fight because they have the power.

But even if he lives without knowing about it, his power is likely to cause strife.

At the very least, you should acquire enough power to pay for the firepowder that comes down on you.

So I want you to tell him that's what you are.

He's the one who defines his way of life after that, but I think Merliah can get you in on that consultation too '

The battle against the Demon King's Army is still ongoing.

Everyone wants the emergence of a hero who will put an end to this endless battle.

But I'm not trying to find Bath for that.

Because I just wanted to know the fate of the life that Mr. Cruz and I covered and defended, and if I could help, I wanted to.

"... a guy named Cruz made you carry troublesome baggage"

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

There's no journey without luggage, fairy.

And don't decide my happiness on your own.

Now I'm going on a journey by inheriting Mr. Cruz's will, but I don't know what lies ahead.

Maybe I'll fall in love with a nice man on a trip.

Huh, will the fairy be jealous or something when that happens?

I will ask the fairy to tease me.

The fairy stayed for a long time,

▽*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:▽

[◆ Homhom]

"It's Homhom."

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

And I've returned the word.

... homhomhomme?

▽*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:▽

[◆ Homhom]

"It's not user-friendly in an unnamed fairy forever.

From now on, call me Homhom. '

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

Mr. Homhom, right? Copy that.

That's kind of a cute, funny name.

▽*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:▽

[◆ Homhom]

'I didn't put it on.

Well, not that I don't like it. '

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

Bye, Mr. Homhom!

Now it's time to move on!

I took a big step, took a step.

▽*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:▽

[◆ Homhom]

'Don't be really impotent.

There are also stories of demons from the Demon King's Army breaking into the continent.

A woman's solo journey is like asking me to attack her. "

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

It's okay.

Unlike old times, I also had combat training this time.

Because thanks to the power that Mr. Cruz has given me, even men are no match for me.

▽*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:▽

[◆ Homhom]

'I'm most afraid of overconfidence.

I wish I had at least someone to escort me. '

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

With Mr. Homhom, that's enough.

Keep speaking to me all the time.

▽*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:▽

[◆ Homhom]

'... right.

Try not to ROM '

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

Why don't you?

▽*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:▽

[◆ Homhom]

'I help you when you're in trouble, when you're grieving.

When I'm happy, when I'm having fun, I shake.

Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and beyond...

That's how I'm by Merliah.

I protect Meliá... that's what I mean '

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

Homhom's way of saying that......

I feel kind of nostalgic and I'm about to cry.

"You've just been protected.

Me... "

It moves forward even as it rocks the brittle heart that easily cracks.

The feel of your feet treading on the ground lets you know that you are standing.

I look up at the sky to make sure no tears spill.

The cloudless sky is high everywhere, and it seems to suck in sorrow and tears.

I'm not here. I'll call you.

Because I feel that doing so will give me the courage and the power to live...

"Hey, Mr. Cruz.

I'm alive. "
