I want to protect you in this hand.

Arsh, 12 years old, 7 months, summer days.

When Mr. Ricardo looked at me, he lowered his face and held him high.

"Arsh, you've grown up. Come on, be really pretty."

and say to the eyelashes. Yeah, he's grown up, so don't hold him?

"Since you are here in the King's Capital, don't you think you won't come to see me?"

I've been busy.

When I answered, Mr. Ricardo grated me softly.

"I've grown up, but I've had a lot of trouble holding you lately"

Complaining, Mr. Ricardo, a little tight,

"Hmm. For example, for example, who did that?

I said.

"Mm, Theodore, Cyril,"

"Theodore."

Mr. Ricardo's gaze fixed the room with a faint, unfamiliar man. Mr. Ricardo is captain of the East Gate for once. Seriously, it's pretty compelling.

"Oh, you know, I, magic, magic for the first time,"

"Well, I'm glad to hear that."

"Ha, yes"

"I see, so, Cyril, you"

"Yes."

Cyril smiled invincibly and turned back to Mr. Ricardo from the wall where he was leaning. At that time,

"Hey, Arsh, on the side of the East Gate, I got a delicious skewer. I came to ask you out today."

And I've been talking to Die or something.

"Go!"

and Mal.

"Me too. And Theodore?"

"I'm going!

Theodore is obnoxious.

"Cyril is"

"I'll be right there."

"Yeah."

We left the room first.

"Well, it's a lot more of a busy face."

"It's the original face"

"Looks like Arsh was saying something?

"I just took it back from Theodore. I just kind of forgot to put it down."

"Did you forget to put it down?

"Yes."

"Huh."

"Huh."

"Hey, Cyril, that kid can't be measured by normal things."

"I know, sir"

"You can't just follow me."

"I know. Walk shoulder to shoulder with Arsh."

"Are you ready?"

"Since the first time we met, it hasn't changed"

"Hmm, okay. I forbid you to hold it."

"Huh? What right!

"It's like my uncle. Family authority."

"Then it's me!

"Is that your brother?

"Ugh! That's..."

"Hahaha, refine it"

"Wait! Ricardo!

"Mr. Ricardo, it is. Let's go get some skewers."

Cyril and the others joined. The skewer at the East Gate seems to be feeling a little different about herbs.

"You used to only eat as much as you count in a year."

And when I say,

"You've become wealthy."

Will said.

"Hey, you guys said you didn't have parents the other day."

Abel has spoken to me. He's always a step back because he's a Theodore squire. Sounds a little hard to talk about, it's imperial.

"That's right. I know there are circumstances to each of them, but I died before I turned eight and we went on. It's been four years."

"I don't have any parents either. Master Theodore picked me up when I was dying in a slum. Since then, I've decided to serve my whole life."

"Did you decide that early?

"About five years ago"

"Sort of."

"You guys are fine without your parents. I don't even have a problem with my life."

"Merrill is a place where orphans can work and make money. It was a horse, but there were places to live. So I built up a little bit of strength. Since Cyril and Will became adventurers, we've really stopped having trouble."

Will says.

"I haven't had any trouble since Arsh arrived."

"On vegetable crumbs, slices of meat, oatmeal on beans, and I could live with it"

When I say, Mal answers.

"Delicious, full"

"Who are you leaders?

Abel asked. I,

"Cyril?"

Answer,

"No, Arsh. We don't have a leader. Someone who wants to do something then is the leader. For example, when it's a treat?

"" "Arsh" "

"When you want to dive deep into a dungeon,"

"" "Will" "

"When you work for an orphan in Cece,"

"" "Cyril" "

"When eating skewers"

"" "Mal" "

"Well, I'm not a leader."

Abel put it in.

"We walk shoulder to shoulder. If you want to do something, we'll all help. So we're all trying so hard to walk by ourselves."

"Isn't that for someone?

"so we can walk together."

"Together..."

"Not behind you."

Abel seemed to be thinking something.

Then came the eight moons, Silver coming from Nilm, submitting a report that did the trick, diving into the dungeon, buying and eating, going to the Lamb Pavilion, sometimes even grandfather to the East-West Guild, and the first summer of being an adventurer, it was really the last summer, sparkling and spending time with everyone.

And at the end of the month of eight, both the Lamb Group and the Imperial students were summoned by their grandfather and teacher.
