I want to protect you in this hand.

Will was walking around groaning by then. Cyril follows without saying anything after that. After a while, I stopped and said:

Say something, Cyril.

"Well, you were really my father."

"Well, there's more to it."

"Mm-hmm. You looked just like me."

"I don't know my face."

"Sure, you don't even know Arsh."

"I don't care about Arsh now! I'm the star."

"Because."

"What the fuck?"

"You were happy, weren't you?

Will turned to the side of Puppy.

"Good for you."

"Yeah."

When I answered that, I put my hands together behind my head.

"Oh, that's so cool"

That's not true.

"I can't believe you took me. I didn't even know you thought that."

"Did you get out by accident?"

"You're out."

"That's okay."

"Okay."

'Cause you've been through a lot.

"You've been working hard."

"Oh."

May winds are refreshing. It smells faintly like flowers.

Shall we go back?

"Do you?"

Looking warmly at Mal and Mr. McKenney, Battan, and the door opened and Will, with a slightly awkward face, returned. You okay? I'm okay. Cyril also nodded peacefully.

Mr. McKenny's eyes stopped on Will, who couldn't stop crying.

"Will......"

"Dad."

Mr. McKenny opened his eyes.

"How embarrassing for you to say so already. I'm 16."

Mr. McKenny's eyes filled with tears again.

"Until that happens, I'll give you guys a hard time..."

"Apologize no more, Dad. I was alive. You've got something else to say."

"Will, Will, I'm glad you're alive, I'm glad you're here to see me!

"You see?"

Will also spread his hand. When Mal let go, Mr. McKenny stopped by Fluffy and Will. Parents and children became one again. When the two big, look-alike hugged each other, there was a strange force.

"And it's very similar. You're with me to the length of my hair."

The person who guided me said with admiration. Will said as illuminated.

"Because I didn't want to forget what my father looked like. It matched my father in my memory."

"Will......"

Ah. Mr. McKenney has completely fallen. The two of them are natural. So, hey.

I decided to change it the next day because it just wasn't going to be about the Demon Stone as it was. Will and Mal say they're staying at Mr. McKenny's today. We were invited, too, but reluctant. There will be talk. It'll be a little hard to decipher Mal's story though.

When I went back to the Marquis' mansion and reported it to Dan and Nico and Blanc, as well as Noah and the others, they all seemed relieved. Most of all, Noah and the others were very surprised.

I miss Mal a little. If I had felt that way, Mr. Greg would have called me out.

"Arsh, the..."

"Mr. Greg, what?

"Well, I am. I am Merrill."

"Yeah?"

"I mean, it's your proxy. Merrill's guild leader."

"Yes."

Always cared for me. He always spoke to me. They made me full of work, but they never made me do what I couldn't. He woke up early with me every day to train me. He always dropped me off when he left Merrill. Meryl has always been my home.

"So there you go."

Mr. Gregg holds out his hand. I stood up and stopped by. I look up to Mr. Greg.

"Come."

He gave me a hug. Warm. A quiet time flows.

"I'll be next."

"Next, me."

"Me too."

After me, Nico, Blanc and Cyril lined up.

"You guys."

Mr Greg said bitterly.

'Cause we're Meryl's kids, too.

"Hiisun no Yo"

"Come to me too."

I niggered and surrounded Mr. Greg and me.

"Mostly you guys are all bigger than me! Grow up."

'Cause Arsh feeds them.'

"I grew up."

"I don't have a choice, look!

Mr. Greg let go of me and spread his hand.

"I knew I'd stop -"

"Mr. Greg isn't cute"

"I'll leave it to Mr. Cullen"

Zorro. Zorro left.

"He et al..."

Mr. Gregg was weak.

"I'm coming too!

"Ooh."

"Mr. Greg."

"What?

"Thanks"

I went after Cyril and the others.

"He's so cute, he's so cute"

"You're too cute, really"

Mr. Greg and Mr. Cullen had a cheek.

And the next day, he was still Mr. McKenney with red eyes, but also harshness, and a quiet facial interview.

"Many houses buy Demon Stones and replace them themselves, but often ask us to replace them, hence there are a certain number of Demon Stones from. It's possible to release it."

Mr. McKenny hung up his words there once.

"It is hard to believe, however, that wind and earth disease is occurring due to such causes. This wind and earth disease is not unique to the Empire. My country is being ruined."

"Was your country north?"

"Um, it hits the west of the North Territories. But the steep mountain ranges sandwich between them and cannot be reached from the northern territories. We can only go via Findaria."

Mr. McKenny sighed.

"From Merida it takes a month and a half to get the boats together and at least three round-trip months. The obligation to return once a year to the Tribal Chiefs' Council pulled my leg."

Mr. McKenny continued.

"Well, that's good now. It's not a rush to cooperate, but I want the results to be brought to our country. If that's the case, I'd like to take you back to the country right now."

I looked at me. I thought Mal would come with me. Oh, seriously?

"Because we are here to study abroad, including Will and Mal. First, I'm studying."

Cyril whispered quietly.

"I can't seem to make it to the Empire for that."

"Until the third week of the eighth month, you can't go into the dorm."

"Earl, you can do something about it"

"It's convenient now. I'll see."

"You can watch me put it together."

That's because you definitely want to be by Mal and Will, right?

"It's sweet for you to take care of, but you have as much life as you can live with if you need it. Don't worry."

Will said firmly.

"Will."

"Dad, I couldn't talk that far yesterday, but we live independently as adventurers. I've made good money since I came to the Empire. Instead, don't use Arsh to stop us."

Mr. McKenney looked like a jerk. I started talking to Dan, who is here with me today, face-to-face.

"I also told the Marquis that, as for the Demon Stone, I am thinking of reusing it"

"Reuse"

"I'm sure Mr. McKenney who was coming to Merida would know, but in Merida, the demon stones from were replenished and used. We still do the job."

Ever since I started crossing town, I've been buying demon stones from and replenishing them and selling them. The Demon Stone is also buying in firmly when it comes to coming to the Empire.

"Sure. But you wouldn't be able to do it in an empire without magicians"

"Neither Mal nor Cyril are magicians, but you can refill them."

"Oh my God."

"Can we not ask patients who have intentionally begun to instill magic to continue working on demon stone replenishment as they are? Of course, if that reduces the price of demon stones and imports, I think we should consider adding or subtracting them."

"You're telling me to make it a business"

"Yes."

What the hell is this adorable girl who's been supporting her daughter? Why is the treatment of wind and earth diseases talking about business?

"Patients with wind and earth diseases will often be sick and quit their jobs. It will also be a rebuilding of life, and demon stones can be effectively used from to make up for the lack of demon stones. If we could make every branch of the Demon Stone Shop, I don't think anyone would lose any money. If I dare say so, is it a question of just one chamber of commerce paying or making money?"

Will or Mal? Why are you so proud? Is that what you mean when this is your own people? So, shall I deal with you with cloudless eyes?

"Why should my chamber of commerce shoulder that much responsibility?

"So I'm going to ask you the other way, do you think it's a good idea to do business as it is now?"

It's been a long time since the battle has started. Now Dan is with me.
