By the time Rabbi and I had rendezvoused down the mountain and returned to the Tame, it was all over.

Stop the carriage in front of the town and stand at the entrance to view where the town once existed.

As symbolic of the richness of the town, the townships where all the brand-new buildings were lined up are crushed, crushed and even hard to remember what they once were.

The visible blood, meat and gut painting made it extra difficult to recall.

The demons, the tenants who carried out this destruction, are free to move back to the appearance of the beast in each.

Some passed by us and returned to the woods, and others devoured the food left in the city and the corpses.

Soon the sky will be cloudy if you notice.

The damp air also goes hand in hand, with a deathly odor that is hard to exhaust on the brush tongue.

If I smell this, when I look at his face worried that Rabbi is going to vomit again, I feel bad, but it doesn't seem that far.

Lily stuck to me perfectly, Ellea frowned as she was held in my arms, and I looked directly at the tragedy with no expression.

As I followed the beasts with my eyes for a while, two large beasts approached me from the square.

It's Marna and Garm.

On Garm's back, Friesha's body is placed with him lying down.

"Kwun......"

Marna, approaching, snorted lonely.

Trying to labor, reaching for his head and stroking his hair a little harder than a dog's, he narrows his eyes to feel comfortable.

"Rabbi, can I have the carriage out again?

"Okay, you can go to Mr. Friesha's house, right?"

"Yeah, let's all put it on together"

When I say that, Garm barks "Gah" small.

No matter how well balanced you are, it will be hard to climb the mountain with one person on your back.

He might also be saying that it would be helpful if he could come with me.

"Well, I'll take Friesha, so Marna and Garm can get on the carriage first."

Lily first lifted Friesha's body from Garm's back.

I don't even hate it when my clothes get dirty with blood, keep smiling.

Soon I smile gently again, although my expression clouds only for a moment after seeing my painfully distorted death face.

As she lay her body on the carrier and sat to surround her, the carriage ran out again toward Friesha's house.

◇ ◇ ◇

Friesha's body was to be buried under her parents' grave.

Take the shovel out of the house and dig deep into the hole.

Although I was not anxious that the human-style mourning would pass on to them, who were silver wolves, the two watched the way it looked.

I would have prepared a coffin for you if I could, but we don't have time for that.

It doesn't taste good to leave the body alone - if I say so, it's just self-satisfying.

Lay the fallen leaves on the bottom of the digged hole and lower her body.

And on her body, where she sleeps in the hole, was accompanied by red flowers picked nearby.

Marna and Garm peek into the hole to spare.

"Friesha, I hope you can go to heaven"

"Lady Gratia is present everywhere and watches over us at all times"

"What is Gratia... is he God?

"Yeah, you must have seen her life, too, so there's no way she's not going to heaven."

If God really exists in the first place - I wouldn't say wild things like that.

I don't mind any god.

If she is reunited with her parents after she dies and lives happily ever after.

I don't believe in the existence of the afterlife.

Still, all this time, I thought even if it was convenience, I could be as happy as that.

Now that we've been buried, it's time to say goodbye to Friesha's house.

Marna and Garm seem to live with her memories here.

There are no more people in the neighborhood who interrupt their lives.

Lost things are too big, but I'm sure they'll be them, and they'll do well.

After Friesha's house, the carriage runs out to its next destination.

The two silver wolves dropped us off until they couldn't see us.

The next town is Trancy, and the place is south of Thame.

Given that the relay town no longer exists, overnight wild accommodation may be necessary.

And going west past Trancy, it's finally Ingratus, Ellea's home town.

What awaits you there is a hard, irremediable fact?

Or is it a gentle reality, just like the ideal held by Ellea?

The balance laughs, "I don't even have to ask about the results”.

Still, Ellea will laugh.

No matter how much I refuse, my heart is acknowledging that this world is filthy.

Because such a beautiful and memorable home for her is the last fortress for her to be herself.

◇ ◇ ◇

The carriage on the road was somewhat quiet.

Even the lilies who are supposed to talk about it are silent all the time.

I guess the grey gloomy sky is growing extra heavy air.

I couldn't even breathe in the dark atmosphere, and when I stood up, I held Ellea's body up.

"Hia!?

I don't see anything. Ellea is bewildered as a matter of course.

But I held her body in my arms without saying anything, and I returned to my original position and lowered my back.

"Hey, what is it suddenly!?

"Somehow, because he seemed depressed"

"Are you even trying to encourage me?

"Well, like that"

"There's got to be more to it."

That being said, she won't resist either.

I thought about ways to encourage it with words, but this atmosphere only allowed me to relax.

"Lily's gaze hurts, can I do this in front of my lover?

"Nothing. I'm not staring at the Cape."

"Ah..."

The meaning of Lily's words was clear to me, but Ellea had an idea, and then she silenced herself.

In an awkward space, only the swinging sound of the carriage echoes.

It was as if the time in the luggage car had stopped, except when the wheels rolled in stone from time to time and swayed exaggerated.

"At that time"

It was Ellea who opened his mouth.

"If you didn't tell Misaki about Friesha's circumstances, if Misaki had invited Friesha, would it have turned out differently"

"Maybe."

An unscrupulous reply.

But I couldn't say anything else. [M]

Because I was just thinking the same thing.

"Cape is a bad consolation. You were so cunning when I was you."

Lily is laughing bitterly next door.

"Because I have nothing else to say. I might have been able to save you if I asked you out, but maybe I didn't. The root of the cause is deeper, and the result may not have changed whether we go or not. Look, there's nothing for sure because it's just" maybe, "right?

"Still, I can't help but think"

"Then I'll have to think as positively as I can. Marna and Garm were saved by our presence. I could bury Friesha. The future just got a little better."

"Positively…? I never thought I'd get that kind of encouragement from Masaki."

I didn't even think about it.

I can't believe Ellea accepts my words so badly.

"Thank you"

She pulled out of her body and left her back with me.

... do you not realize that tolerates the death of the people of Thame?

Well, whether you're aware of it or not, this is proof to the left that the fruits of what I've done bear fruit.

I didn't think so and put a little effort into my arm embracing Ellea.

Can I call this emotion loving?

But I don't know what else to describe.

Seeing me like that, Lily came all the way over here.

"... because I'm not jealous"

That's what she said as she fumbled.

No, I just seem jealous no matter how you look at it... even though there's no way I hate it with some jealousy.

Our relationship is not such a thin one.

"Lily, turn around"

"Hmm?"

Turn around and look at the lily.

Though I looked surprised for a moment, I immediately laughed "hiccup" and she put her face closer to me, too.

It was just a kiss to touch, but she seemed satisfied for the sake of it.

"I told you I wasn't jealous."

Even so, I couldn't hide the loose look.

"I'm fine with being close, but can you stop doing that on me...?

But if that one stood, this one wouldn't stand.

Now he was in Ellea's mood.

◇ ◇ ◇

Finish the overnight wildlife and go to the town of Trancy.

Trancy was a town of considerable size, even though there were no specialties or mines nearby.

There are not many demons, there are no bandits, and the elephants are buried underground.

It's peaceful and blessed, that's why nature and people come together.

Income seems to compensate for processing and selling materials purchased from elsewhere, and outside of town, there are a number of magic products and Animus manufacturing plants lined up.

Strangely enough, I still have no problem walking around town in grandeur.

After escaping Caputo, Teng himself inflamed the Silva Forest, killed a merchant and crushed Dinde.

Even though I say so, I guess I haven't even passed the sketch on to Trancy because I still crushed two relay points for the shipping route that leads to Caputo.

"Overall, the price of the product is rising, and the store owner lamented the lack of the product"

Rabbi, who headed to replenish the scarce supplies, moaned that he would be coming back to the inn.

Currently, the north and south of the kingdom are partitioned by fires in the Silva forest.

They force a huge detour to carry things, and it takes time and money.

As a result, many merchants appeared to be doing business only on the north side and only on the south side, with some goods completely suspended from circulation.

"I wonder if supplies have arrived in the border zone either,"

"I think so. But even though the kingdom is a disadvantage, if there's a shortage of food, I think it's about soldier morale."

"I'm having trouble losing before I get to the Empire."

Well, I guess it's Orihalcon for that.

If we are so far cornered, even if Gui returns to Caputo and reports about the three washes, the information will be wiped out and the development will continue.

If such a chemical is produced in mass, I'm tough, and the empire is tough.

Most importantly, it is difficult to be killed at will in the runoff of Orihalcon.

I need you to die where my eyes are.

"Um, Misaki"

Ellea opened her mouth with a snack.

Though I regained my energy once, I was depressed again after arriving at Trancy.

I can largely guess why.

"What's wrong, Ellea?"

"Again...... are you heading to Ingratus?

"Well, Ellea wants to go home, doesn't she?

"That's right..."

"Don't worry, me and Lily, we're not trying to destroy everything right now. Don't worry, it won't hurt your family."

"I'm not worried there"

I didn't.

So you're simply saying that you've just gotten scared of knowing the truth.

I can't believe I'm talking about my family, and my heart is shaking.

When I get up, I approach Ellea, who sits in a chair, and hugs her just like she did in the carriage.

"See you soon!?

'Cause it looks like this just made me feel better.

As I sat on the bed holding her, the lily next to me snapped at me.

"... again?

"Somehow, I don't want to lose"

What are you putting together?

Or this situation, the most awkward is obviously rabbi, isn't it?

Don't worry about me, I'm used to it.

That's what Rabbi said when she noticed my gaze.

It's pathetic to get used to it, even though I'm glad I stuck with a man.

"Ma, in the end, you have to go. So you don't know. Unless you can read the truth about someone else, there's only one way to make sure they confess."

Saying, palm on the head of Pong and Ellea.

She didn't refuse.

Yes, she won't turn me down anymore.

I can't even show you how nasty I feel about being held in the arms of a killer.

I stayed overnight at the Trancy Inn that day and left town the next morning.

The carriage is headed west.

On our way, Ingratus, of course.

I even encouraged the three of us to sleep with Lily last night. It's worth it, or Ellea's totally ready look.

'I will continue to believe until the results are available, that my family is waiting for my return', he said.

That's fine now.

The bigger the difference, the bigger the gap that goes in.

All we have to do is see how her family shows their true nature.
