White Apostle, when Stella raided the Alliance. The brave men had assembled their members and had already left the country in a carriage.

Finia and Lulu were similarly put on carriages, but Lulu, sitting on the edge and weeping, and Finia, comforting it, did not seek to engage anyone in a row of brave men.

As for the girl who was crying, she was in a mood where she could not stay or stand, but it was herself who made her cry, so she couldn't do anything. It also draws attention to Finia's clear rejection.

Finia, too, wondered if she could do anything to Lulu, who, as relieved as she was, was still a young girl, even at her 14-year-old physical age. It was separated from the orange noise that was the family, and the collar that was the bond was also chopped up. It's not hard, there's no way.

Contrary to Finia's idea, however, Lulu wipes tears with his hands with the wreckage of a collar in his hands in his clothes pocket. I wept for a long time and put a strong will in my eyes.

- Don't cry... it's the toughest thing right now because you're like a tough guy...!

The collar has been broken. But I'm still alive, and the orange noise is still alive. I promised you'd pick me up.

Then you still shouldn't give up hope. I'm sure I'll see you again. I believed that and stopped crying.

"Dear Finia... I'm all right now..."

"Lulu...... really?

"... Yes"

"... well. It's okay, 'cause I'll always be there for you."

Seeing Lulu stop crying, Finia leans over to her cheek, behaving in a temperament. Even Finia should be hard, stripped of her favorite orange noise, and the witch has the face that is her life. In order to prevent robbery and damage, Finia is unable to regain her face because she used the same bond on her face as she used in the battle with Orange Sound.

The status quo - Finia was like a slave too - is more than deprived of the authority to give life.

"... hey brave man, what the hell kind of wack is that?

One of the members who later joined the brave and witch, the A-rank swordsman Sieg, said so after seeing how those two were doing.

He came with the wizard Silfi, but besides the figure of a brave man and a witch, he was surprised to see Lulu and Finia. From what I saw, it didn't smell that strong, because it didn't seem to explain how close we were to the braves, or why we were going to deepen our rapport.

To Zeke's question, he answers with a slight drop in his shoulder.

"No... I was a slave child, but where I was, slavery was something I was supposed to hate, so I couldn't forgive it... I duelled and brought him in from under the person who was abusing him"

"Duel?"

"Oh, I asked Cecil"

When Zeke heard the story, he saw through the window Cecil, a witch who took turns but is currently manipulating the horse.

Regardless, he knows that there is no such thing as a duel in the kingdom of Grandir. And he also knew well how good a witch named Cecil was at tactics.

I realized that. He said he used this brave man and plundered that slave - no, the fairy one.

As always, Zeke turns his gaze back toward the brave, even though he thinks she's a woman who vomits backwards. The brave man looking at the flickering and the two as he drops his shoulders, whatever it is, looks like a trinket. I accidentally leaked a sigh.

"Ha..."

"Oh?"

At the same time as Sieg's sigh, a deep sigh emerged from next door as well. It's the Wizard Silfi. She also seems to have guessed the situation and sympathizes with the situation of the Phineas.

The brave men at the castle seemed very reliable, but apparently not experienced enough overwhelmingly. Depending on the growth ahead, it is possible that today's brave men will not even be able to do their lives instead of crusading the Demon King. Good luck with that, I just had to think.

"... hey brave man"

"Oh, my goodness."

"... Nagi, you better look around. Who's the enemy and who's on your side... people don't even know what to think by the looks of it, don't be careful... they won't get their feet stuck."

"Oh... yeah, right... thanks, I'll be careful"

Although Sieg is a young swordsman, he has so much experience that he cannot be compared to a I've been deceived so many times, and I've lost so many lives. That's why there was convincing credibility in his words.

The words were so heavy that he could not help but snort.

"I'm not going to say any more... but the witch lady isn't what she looks like, is she? If you think you're a pure, sweet woman... that's a mistake, you should change your mind."

"Become... no..."

"If you don't want to believe it, that's fine, just put it in the corner of your head... not many people in this world try to get into bravery, remember to doubt it if you're going out with people"

masculine zeek. I didn't want to doubt Cecil, who had spent so much time with me, but his words with a serious expression impressed the heart of

I saw Cecil once and she looked troubled with a strange look. Sieg sees it and laughs bitterly.

Troubling is a good thing. Troubled and troubled, giving answers, even if they are wrong, leads to growth. Even if you rest sometimes, that leads to growth. Because what matters is the will to grow.

"Don't worry, Nagi."

Having said that, it looks like Sieg decided to take a nap after a glance at Lulu and the others.

◇ ◇ ◇

A glimpse of Sieg falling asleep, A-rank wizard - Silfi looked at Lulu and Finia on the side. As wizards, fairies are sacred beings. Because as someone who makes magic extreme, 'Fairy Unchanted' is considered one of the ultimate in magic.

In addition, fairies of thought species can activate the magic of massive power without chanting. Therefore, it is even said that if the mechanism can be elucidated, the human magic culture will make further strides.

But there is also a legacy that it was the fairies who passed the magic on to humans, and although we do not know if it is true, many wizards all hold the fairies sacred and respectful.

So the act of hurting or abusing a fairy is contraindicated to a wizard - it's the biggest taboo you shouldn't break.

Silfi is one of them again. Seeing Finia look sad as she enclosed a lot of magic, she was not unhappy with Cecil and calm inside.

"... do you want some?

"... what?

"It seems to be a treat from another world called golden flat sugar."

So Sylphi couldn't be uninterrupted against the sad looking finniers and lulu.

Treats and fashion from different worlds, conveyed by the brave men summoned in the past, are also popular in this world. Among them, Silfi loves golden flat sugar. Although it's a sugar treat, it's sweet and portable, and it seems good to be able to eat it when it's still fresh.

Usually she doesn't try to split the golden flat sugar as one, but all this time she gave her favorite to the finers.

"... I told you not to get involved with us."

"Oh, I'm sorry... but when you're sad, there's something sweet... because it's good..."

Finia gave it back to her blurry, but Sylphie devours it. She's not good with people originally. I can't have eye to eye conversations, and it's hard to cut words out of myself.

Still, her eating down to this point was also the atonement for the witch's outrage. Even though it's not meant to be, what your people do is jointly and severally responsible.

"... Dear Finia, let's have it"

"Is it good? Lulu."

"We need to survive for when Tight picks us up... rejecting these people and living alone... I think it's tough... for a little while, we need to walk over"

"... right, I get it"

To such Silfi's words, Lulu took a grain of golden flat sugar.

Orange sounds welcome, then you must live. In order to live, we must rely on these brave men. Besides, the witch holds Finia's life, and if she breaks her face against her, the orange noise will grieve.

Lulu was about to grow big by moving away from a family called Orange Sound. I've seen orange noises desperately trying to survive, so I can calmly think about what I should do now.

Both Finia and myself must be strong in order not to die. Instead of being sheltered by the brave, we use the brave to live.

- Grow up, grow up, grow up... never again will I grieve for your tightness...!

Lulu is determined. For that kind husband who saved my life, I will never again... distort that gentle thin laugh.

- I have to change here... I want to be the one who can protect my tights, not me who's protected, not me who's weak...!

The power of the will to dwell in Lulu's eyes becomes much stronger. And as per his will, there was beginning to be an anomaly in Lulu's body.

Finia takes the golden flat sugar that was on Silfi's palm as she rode over Lulu's head. And after a little hesitation, the momentum was well galloping to complete the meal. And then I notice a change in Lulu. Lulu's heart beat sounded loud.

"Lulu...?

"What is it?

Lulu himself seemed to feel the beat, but was unaware of the changes that had occurred to his body. Neither does Finia know what has changed about Lulu.

But I was sure it wasn't her fault that something seemed to have changed in her mind.

If the orange noise was here, you'd understand. What happened to Lulu was nothing more than an awakening of 'inherent skills'. The genuine determination to think of orange sounds and to change herself empowered her.

I don't know when or what that power will do. But Lulu was also sure that he was about to grow, just like the orange sounds.

(Dear Mr. Tight... I'll be waiting... until you pick me up... because I'll be waiting with Master Finia...!)

Gleefully grasping the tears that seemed to zero, Lulu decided not to cry.

She looked at the sky through the carriage window and gently squeezed the little sword she had raised on her hips as she turned her thoughts on the orange noise.
