During the sunset, the exhausted “Winter Devil” fled outside the city with plenty of room and the festival was over.

In the finale, it is recommended that you enjoy this moment as much as possible, in the hope of spring coming as soon as possible.

The winter solstice festival, which enjoys the best of the Zoltans now and enjoys the best during this midwinter, seems to suit her. Even during the seasonal festivals, the winter solstice festival seems to be the most exciting.

"Hey, there's a noble child dancing there."

"Well, I'm gonna go!"

"Let's go together, aim for a ball of mikoshi!"

Three young women ran while saying so. Some Zoltans seem to be looking into the future.

Tise puts Uge-Uge on his palm and watches him move back and forth between his fingers.

At his own pace, Tise Muge Uge seems to be enjoying the festival as long as she looks at her facial expressions and gestures.

Looking at Tise, my clothes were pulled quickly. It's Rooty who pulled

"Thank you today, brother."

Rooty said that and smiled.

"was fun"

I stroke Ruti's head. Rooty squinted and accepted.

"But there's one thing I haven't done yet."

"e?"

I took Rooty's hand. Rooty's face turns a little red.

"Would you like to dance together?"

"I'm with my brother? ... Is that okay?"

"Is there anything wrong with siblings dancing together?"

Rooty looks back at Litt. Litt waved to laugh.

"But I danced last in the Winter Solstice Festival, before my brother entered the Knights. Can't you dance well?"

I pulled Luti's hand instead of answering.

"It's not the purpose of dancing well.

The devil (demon) is said to hate joy. Of course, we who have fought the Demon Army know that it is just superstition.

But if it's a reason to have fun here now, there's no point in denying it.

"here we go"

"……Yup"

When I presented my left hand, Luti seemed lost for a moment, but tightly grasped my hand.

Zoltan musicians are playing light spring songs. The wooden whistle played by the half elves is a vertical whistle used by the wood elves. The exact name is unknown, just called the elven flute.

Wood elves have little habit of keeping records, and there are a lot of mysteries, but according to human records, wood elves practiced to dedicate the sound of the whistle to their lover.

Half-elves do not have such a habit, they are used only as instruments that play beautiful sounds and to enjoy exoticness different from human instruments.

Me and Rooty took simple but fun steps to the flute and violin songs. Dancing holding hands. Lutey's face was red, illuminated by the sunset, but looked fun.

"Is it alright"

"What happened?"

"Can I be forgiven if I am so happy?"

"I forgive. Rooty has been hurt for so many people's happiness so far. It's about time to make him as happy as he is."

As she danced, Luti stared at me.

When I put my hand on Routy's waist, I lift Rutie's body and spin around.

I wanted Luti to be happy all the time.

Before being "Brave", Luti is my sister. It was hard to see Luti hurt as a "hero".

And I was sorry for my weakness that couldn't help Routy.

"Thank you, brother."

"Thank you"

"e?"

My words blocked Luti's words to thank him.

"Thank you for being happy"

"meet……"

Along with the crying Lutey, our brothers and sisters spent the festival finale.

Night. Zoltan Minato Ward.

"Today was terrible."

Walking with Tobotobo is a self-proclaimed "Dragon Knight" Otto.

When I wore armor, there was still the atmosphere of a knight, but the appearance of coming up with clothes full of holes on a winter night and rolling my large body in the cold is just a "sailor" The ground comes out.

"Huh, I guess I'll go back to Veronia."

Otto, born in a fisherman's home in his hometown, was treated like a hero in the village because of his large body. Blessing was also a “seafarer” perfect for fishermen, which is why the village had high expectations.

Otto was on track.

I told myself I was born to live a great life, and as I was stunned by my fellow villagers, I left the village applying for the Navy of Veronia.

But for Otto, who had been sulking in a small village, the pirate-backed Veronia Navy was a relentless environment.

He was unable to escape on board, was a poor Veronian galley, and was forced to work only as a rower, not as a navigator.

If he decides to return to his hometown here, his life may have been different again, but Otto dreamed that "I am not a vessel serving anybody. Seeing, after boarding a warship for three years, he set off with a retirement allowance to become a knight in the Kingdom of Avalonia.

Then, with no success, they moved from town to town, thus flowing to the remote Zoltan.

"When I heard that there was a castle occupied by a giant, I thought it was this."

Hill giants are not so strong opponents as monsters. Otto thought he could win, but in fact he had once gathered seven friends and attacked the castle.

Two C-rank adventurers, four D-rank adventurers, and one E-rank adventurer gathered under the name of a self-proclaimed "Dragon Knight". In addition, 10 newly recruited mercenaries and Otto's own army.

As a result, the Hill Giants could not be beaten, and the Ottos escaped from their lives.

Highly intelligent monsters may have grown their blessings high, and Hill Giant Dantak, who occupied the castle, is probably a kind of Hill Giant “hero”.

He's not the winner in Otto today.

Otto isn't too young, and he's wondering if he should return and bow to the villagers.

And the level of blessing in the battle is higher than the villagers and will not be bad.

Despite this, Otto was aiming for a cheaper accommodation in Minato-ku, holding the food he was getting angry with during the festival's part-time job.

At that time, a dark shadow ran through the darkness of Minato Ward.

"Hmm?"

Otto bows her head.

It is suspicious at all. What should be left alone, this big man (Otto) stumbled into the darkness.

"What is it?"

There were three men with short swords, and a woman surrounded by them and cornered by the wall

Otto tries to help her if she is beautiful, but she looks like a bent woman.

At first, Otto was disappointed and tried to leave, but remembering his mother who had never seen an old woman, he felt a virtuosity of filial piety.

It is this man's personality that acts as soon as he thinks.

Otto jumped out and suddenly beat the man from behind, grabbing another neck while being astonished, slammed into the wall.

"Hey, what are you doing on such a prominent day?"

The last surviving man is surprised and keeps his distance away.

And with cat-like agility, the man jumped for Otto.

"Hoi"

Otto throws a bag of food in her left hand.

The contents popped apart, blocking the man's view for a moment.

"Ola!"

Otto's big legs fly there. He hit the face directly and the man's body fluttered in the air before falling to the ground.

Meanwhile, Otto embraced the old woman with both hands and rushed out of the room.

(Yabe, they're so strong.)

He was lucky and lucky, but it was pretty dangerous. Despite the full-strike attack, the men were about to get up quickly.

Otto fled in a hurry in the direction of people, with no weapons or armor, and if he could be killed if he was overtaken.

However, I immediately felt a sign from behind.

"Seriously, have you already caught up?"

He struck so hard and kicked that he thought he could move a little more, but he didn't seem to have done any serious damage.

"Hi!"

Otto runs desperately, feeling the danger of his life.

"if"

"Well, what a grandmother, I'll bite my tongue when I talk!"

"I think it would be helpful if you leave me."

The old woman said sorry. When Otto hears it, Otto utters it.

"I didn't think of it"

With that said, Otto turned around the corner and found a small girl. There is a small jumping spider on his shoulder, and in his hand there is a container with a terrible spider.

"Oh, you're a sad dragon knight."

"Ge, you were that time."

"What is it? Is it a kidnapping now? Is it better to hurt?"

Tise wonders at Otto, but Otto shouts.

"Well, they're coming from behind! Hiding somewhere!"

"back?"

Tise looked up behind him and saw three men.

"Hoo"

Tise squinted at the face of the chasing man.

The next moment, Tise was running out.

"Oh, hey !?"

With a lightness like a wind, Tise passes by Otto.

When Otto looked back in a hurry,

"Meeting Assassin who has left the guild in such a place"

I saw three men, fainted with white eyes, and Tise holding his oden bowl in his left hand.

The juice in the oden bowl did not spill at all.
