The moment the bell announcing the time was over, the door was knocked several times.
Raise your gaze from the list at hand. In the past few days, he had been pursued by the formulation of restorative drugs to be paid to other countries that had been attacked by demons.
Wait a minute, I called out across the door and gently cleaned up on my desk. If it spills, put the recovery medicine in the container properly, cover it, put the conditioning tool back in the box all the way, and then finally rush to the door.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting," he said, opening the door with those words.
"Oh, I'm sorry you're busy, miss."
Vake has greeted me with his right hand up. Next to it is the figure of an unfamiliar young man.
Wearing a slightly thin, dirty robe, he is a good young man who fits well with the adjective rustic. Light purple eyes gently narrowed in short cut tea hair.
Tingle, and gaze were involved. I felt uncomfortable at that moment. - It's supposed to be the first time we meet, but I recognize him in his face.
He's a mediocre young man in a rambling way, but not a trait in sight of this. I concluded, for now, that he looked like someone I had seen in the city by chance, and greeted him at the meeting, who was - should be - the first time I met him.
"Lady, we're talking about this juncture, how about this one? My young magician."
"Nice to meet you."
Once again, the gaze is tangled. I still felt a sense of vision on that face.
Vake opens his mouth with a proud look like a father boasting of his own son, with his hands on the shoulders of a young man standing next to him.
"This guy is also a vulgar genius. If the Rookie of Expectations in the Conditioner World is the lady, then this is the Rookie of Expectations in the Magician World!
The young man laughs in the light of Vake's words. That's right, and I returned the gavel that wasn't here.
The more I look at it, the less I feel like I know this young man. But he doesn't quite overlap with anyone in memory. Why the hell...
You mistakenly mistakenly thought of me as staring at the young man's face and thinking that I had been too silent about my worries, Vake put his hand on my shoulder and laughed at me.
"I'll accompany you. Don't worry about it."
To Vake's words I spilled a reflexively "eh".
"Ve, can you go too, Mr. Veik?
"Oh."
Vake nodded forcefully at my words as I parroted back to be sure.
Though resting from injury, it's a thankful story that the Knights Commander and the Rookie of Expectations will go all the way to a one-country village. But more than that, I get anxious as to why these thankful stories are coming from next to next. Is it okay to leave Wang Du away with all the expected Rookies and Knights captains?
And when I heard that Vake would accompany me, one new concern arose.
Veik's going to Emme's village means - he'll be face-to-face with Lukersch. In other words, it changes slightly from the first meeting between the two in "Last Brave".
That's why I don't imitate stupid things like turning down this offer, but what I still care about is what I care about.
"But you two have plans..."
"I'm going to brand it as expedition training, so I'll be fine. Besides, the great man asked me to see what the region was like."
I followed Vake's words. At the same time, I understand.
I see, I felt that the story was somewhat too good, but apparently Emme's village is not “the real deal”. There was an order from above to see what the region was like, and I was lucky enough to sneak in there.
But even so, if the timing is good enough, you're lucky.
"Look at the state of the region, because… demonic activity has been active lately?
"Well, that's the place"
Vake laughs obscurely at the words. It was an attitude that wasn't like him, but if you take it from Vake, a straight guy who hates lies and doesn't like to lie in the first place, that attitude was no longer the same as affirmation.
Wang capital, Platonovena, the village of Emme, and this time. Within a short period of time, there have been successive raids by demons. I guess we are going to embark on a full investigation and countermeasure as a country as well.
"I'm suddenly sorry, but I'll be leaving in five days. Will you please keep the conversation going?"
"Yes, of course! I'll write you a letter. And I'm going to send you a letter of introduction to Mr. Vake."
Vake said it was sudden, but I guess the story of the expedition itself was more determined than before. But it didn't come out in my mouth, and I nodded forcefully.
It's going to be much faster than I thought, and much more powerful than I expected. I'm going to be able to get my junction magic stretched out in Emme's village.
I'm sorry to hear about Vake and Lukersch, but I can't let that get all distracted and miss this thankful story. Even if the time and place of the first encounter change slightly, it will not be greatly affected - yes the moment I nod to convince myself somewhat forcefully, I recall.
Lukersch in this world had already met heroines in his dreams, he said.
Even the most important hero and heroine encounter is changing shape somewhat. Thinking about it made me feel much easier.
After the chest grip was removed, it was Vake and the magician youth who pushed over, as well as much thanks to Arnold. I bowed my head to the two people in front of me again.
"... thank you so much"
"Don't worry about it. Hometown... family safety is paramount. Use what you can."
Family, I cared that he used to say the word emphatically, but soon, oh yes, I came to Vake's past.
When he is young, he is killing his parents by demons. He's a hard-working man who raised his brother and sister, even though he was a child himself. Maybe people have twice as strong feelings about things like family, home.
"So... one more thing I was asked to do, to escort Fralia."
So once I thought I had separated the words, Vake was shallow, but he did bow his head.
"Sorry, I just got on a mission and my plans have been buried for a while. Hurry up?"
Apparently, he was going to buy an accompaniment to Flaria and get out, if only for convenience.
I shake my head reflexively. I'm sorry about the boulders getting that far.
"No! I have a conditioning job too, so soon... But I'm sorry to ask Mr. Vake to escort me..."
Saying so while clouding his verbal butt, Vake frowned. It was like a heartbreaking, sad face.
"14, 15 Don't let those girls bother you weird. I'll tweak it as much as I can."
"... thank you"
Vake crouching in to gaze at me. Green eyes and eyes intertwined, and then it narrowed to a three-day moon shape.
At my age, it would be close to my father and daughter, but I thought he seemed like an out-of-the-box brother. How happy you are to worry about me like this and have me reach out.
While so biting, I took my gaze off Vake that there was another person I had to thank firmly. What I looked up to was a new magician of expectations.
"Um, it's Laura Ampere. Sorry for the sudden, thank you."
Look up at the young man with brown hair. When I look directly in the front again, I get the impression that the young man is so tall that his face is completely grown up. Older than Arnold - is it around 18?
"Never mind. It's also for my own training, so I'm sorry."
The grinning, narrowed eyes, inadvertently become something serious.
Height difference naturally and the shape he looked down on me - let it be not what he intended, something could play in my head the moment I was looked down by purple eyes that felt cold somewhere.
It was a man's high laugh that came back to the eardrum.
"Let me serve you as best I can"
- The man who came up behind his brain was magically floating in the universe, with an inferior grin. On the right hand is a large, splendid wand with about the length of his back.
As he pulled his wand this way, advanced magic struck him with tremendous pressure. It was the brunette girl - Elvira - who magically sheltered “me”, who accidentally lay down her face.
As she began all her magic in a sweat, she shouted to the man like this.
- Give his body back.
"Oh, you didn't introduce yourself yet. Me, it's called Flor Vilnorf."
Flor Vilnolph. I honestly didn't pin it when I heard the name. But I have no doubt about this memory.
I didn't even shake back the right hand I was offered, and I was just staring up at the young man's face in front of me.
- This man, the one whose body was taken over by the Demon King in "Last Brave".
