After Rayfon and Ashley returned to the restaurant, Ashley apologized to everyone for being grumpy about her attitude.
Nobody cares, everyone welcomed Ashley in like that.
A celebratory dinner party featuring Ira's birthday, which then began.
There was also a side to the dinner party where Ira tears too much joy for someone to celebrate her birthday, something that has never been celebrated by a large crowd.
Such a fun dinner party also opened near where Lun fell asleep.
Uh-huh.
Three Rayphones back home.
"Lun came to bed. Isn't Ira sleepy?
"Yeah. I'm kind of excited, hehe"
"Oh well."
Rayphone smiles when he sees Ira, who still looks like he's having fun.
"Now we have to celebrate Lun's birthday."
"Yeah. I'm sure Lun will be absolutely delighted. Thank you, brother Ray."
"It's my family. But the day after tomorrow, we're going on a journey again."
"Oh well... right"
Ira's expression darkens when she looks at it.
"I'm fine. I'll be back soon. I'll be right back if anything happens. You know what? I'm actually the strongest in the world."
"The world, the strongest?
Ira tilting her neck.
"Ira's seen my magic, too, hasn't she?
"Yeah, it was awesome. Thanks to Lun, I'm able to see and have such a good life, and..."
"It doesn't have to do with magic in the second half."
Rayphone of bitter laughter.
"But. It's all magical, all thanks to Brother Ray. Yeah, Brother Ray is the strongest man in the world."
"Don't worry, whatever happens, I'll protect your sisters."
"Thanks...... Brother Ray"
Rayphone gently stroking Ira's head.
"And, look at this"
Rayphone offered two matching brooches.
"Amulet. If you ever have a real problem when I'm gone, just hope to see it."
"Wish? Is this me and Lun's?
"Yes."
"Thanks...... me, I'm not the only one. Even Lun is really glad Brother Ray is your brother."
"Oh well. Then I asked for this house again while I was gone. Sister."
"Yeah!"
Two brooches.
The brooch had the magic of a rayphone.
Uh-huh.
Two days later.
As Rayphone said, the Rayphones were traveling from the city of Tester to the Wang Capital.
Many city people gathered to drop me off when I traveled.
Lun was crying to the end.
Still, he waved me off properly and loudly.
A short distance from the city of testers.
In the carriage.
"Gusu... Gusu..."
Maribel was crying.
"How long have you been crying?"
"Because Lun's, Lun's..."
It is a cry from Lun.
"'Till Ash..."
"Ugh, shut up! Everyone will cry if they drop you off in tears."
"Oh? Should I cry too?
"You don't have to cry..."
And for a while Maribel and Ashley were crying because they remembered Lun.
(Not that I don't know how you feel, but you cry too much...)
A week in the city of testers that seemed short and long.
And...
Qualifying for the World Martial Arts Congress, which begins at last.
Only Ashley is currently scheduled to participate among this member.
Is there any participation by Rayphone and Millybears, as there will never be any participation by Maribel?
