Two weeks after Ashley received the summons order.
The day came when Ashley would travel to the Wang capital.
"Long live Master Ashley!
"Take care of yourself, Master Ashley"
"Dear Ashley, please defeat the Demon King with the Brave One"
"Good luck, Master Ashley!
"Dear Ashley, we look forward to your return."
Near the gates of the city of Tester, people of the city had gathered in the morning to escort Ashley, who had been chosen as a brave party member and traveled to the Wang capital.
"Thank you all for dropping me off today! I will surely defeat the Demon King and I will surely return to this city of testers!
Ashley greets the city people with a smile.
But...
There was no sign of Rayphone in this place.
Uh-huh.
"But where the hell did the Rayphone guy go?
"Right. Ashley, who was so close, was chosen as a member of the Brave Men's Party, and now he's traveling to King's Capital."
"Surprisingly, my goodbye to Master Ashley is sad and I'm crying alone at home."
"Ma... but it's not like you don't know what it's like..."
"" Right... "
The voices of the city's people.
"Ray......"
Ashley muttered small so that no one could hear her in a sad voice.
Ashley hasn't seen Rayphone since it was officially announced in the City of Testers that Ashley was selected as a Brave Party member.
And I couldn't even tell Rayphone about it in my own words, so I was celebrating this day.
However, the day Ashley was chosen as a brave party member and traveled to King's Capital had spread throughout the city and most people should have known.
Perhaps it should have reached Rayphone's ear as well.
Yet...... Rayphone doesn't show up.
"Dear Ashley, it's time"
"Ok...... then everyone! I'm going!
Speaking to a carriage squire, Ashley greeted the city folks one last time.
"Ashley, you're going to have to be careful. I'll complain when I see Rayphone." What's wrong with not coming to see my sister off! ♪ And ♪
"Pfft, please, Father. Okay, I'm coming."
I had a joke with my father, Count Asla. I finished my farewell greeting. Ashley boarded the carriage.
And...
In the end, Rayphone never showed up until the end, and the carriage ran out and Ashley traveled through the city of Testers.
Uh-huh.
Ashley and two female squires are the only carriages to the King's Capital.
"Master Ashley? You look pale. Are you okay?
"I'm fine. Thanks."
Ashley was thinking about Rayphone.
(Sure, I'm sorry I didn't tell you directly... but... how come you didn't even come to drop me off... Ray... maybe... I hate you...)
Ashley groans and depresses in her heart.
- It was then.
The carriage suddenly stopped.
"What's going on?
"Master Ashley, you look like a customer."
Ashley called her squire to confirm what happened when the carriage suddenly stopped... but she didn't understand the reply she had received.
"Customer, sir?
"Yes, Master Ashley, try to get off the carriage"
Ashley slowly stepped off the carriage as she was told, as far as the expression on the squire's face seemed unsafe.
Then...
"Ash! Don't tell me anything. What are you going to do!
A loud voice from a familiar boy.
Ashley turns in the direction of that voice.
There was a boy there, no, Rayphone.
"Ray......?
And Rayphone slowly walked up to Ashley's eyes.
"What? What's that shiatsu face? How can you defeat a demon king like that, Ash?
The usual Rayphone.
Rayphone in a busy tone with his usual voice.
He was always with Ashley. The look of Rayphone.
I just hadn't seen him for about two weeks, but Ashley had a nostalgia for what Rayphone looked like, his voice, and the way he spoke.
"You don't look like that... and Ray just told me what to do, right?
"I told you, though?
Rayphone answered Ashley's voice with a slight tilt in his neck, unlike his usual tone.
"I... I'm determined by Master Ashley! You late demon! Ray's always late! Idiot......"
Ashley's words that look great against the usual Rayphone.
However, Ashley's expression was not the same as her dark expression earlier, and she had an extraordinary smile on Rayphone.
