The Kingdom of Kiramine.
Further northwest from the Principality of Logavia, home of Lit.
A huge city rising in the north, covered in white snow.
Even on a small scale, the magical capital built by the high elves is renowned as the largest city on the Avalonian continent.
The kingdom of Kiramine is the only kingdom permitted to name the kingdom except humans.
"The climate is colder than in the Principality of Logavia, where Lit lived. An urban state built on the cold northern earth. But magically, the interior of the city remains cheerful in spring. A beautiful city where countless high elves and their friends live. The garden of the crystal scattered Grand Shrine is no better than the last wall fortress. The Perpetual Rock Triple Wall, which protects the city, never approached any enemy."
Yarandara talked about Kiramine with a singing voice.
"Of course, Kiramine is not an ideal paradise. Some good high elves, some bad high elves, they're just like humans... but we don't betray them."
Yarandara stares at us.
Wait, wait, wait.
I shouted in a hurry.
"Neither I nor Ritt enjoy living in Zoltan, this is a nice town. We're not going anywhere."
"Maybe now. But someday this town may betray you too. That's not possible in my country."
"... I certainly don't know the future. Humans may change their minds, or they may throw away others to protect their lives and their families. The Zoltans are not heroes, they're just ordinary people. No matter what sacrifice you make, you won't be protecting your friendship."
"Then....!
"But the friendship between the Zoltans and us at this moment is real. I have friends in this Zoltan, Ritto, Ruti, and Tice. I don't doubt my trust for the future."
Lit, Tice nodded and agreed.
"The only reason I chose Zoltan was because I was far away from Logavia. But I also like this town now. Live with Red and enjoy life with Stosan, Gonz, Tanta, and more. That's why I can't go to Kiramine."
"I came to Zoltan with Louti. To be honest, it seemed like I had to be brought here, but I was able to be friends with Lutie."
"Best friend"
Rootie corrected it. Tice blushed her face slightly with a little light.
"I became my best friend. It was also because of the atmosphere of this town called Zoltan. A delightful place to drink and not care about the past of others. There's never been a better environment for a human being like me."
Mr. Uji also fully mobilized the eight legs, expressing the goodness of Zoltan throughout his body.
After watching us, Yarandara smiled... a little lonely.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Then I return to my serious expression.
"I see you live happily in this Zoltan. But, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. So I'm going to be patient, too, if Zoltan ever rejects you... this time I'm not going to let you go alone."
Yarandara's a tough guy.
But what's there is a feeling of love for me.
"Okay, let's think about the future."
"Yeah, that's fine now!
And Yarandara.
"What?"
"Maybe Yarandara hasn't been feeling that long."
"Well!!
Yarandara stunned me with a slightly angry expression.
"That's not true, Lara. Your sister is always kind and serene."
After I left, I used to say that I fought Ares one step closer.
Yarandara doesn't get angry at trivial things, but when she should be angry, she is unbearable and angry, and when she should be angry, she is very angry.
Before he met me, it seems that Yarandara once destroyed one of the villages in response to a commotion in a village where sacrifice was customary.
She is a very scared woman when she turns to her enemies.
"Mmm, say Yarandara is a sweet sister!
Looking at my expression and wondering what I was thinking, Yarandora said so, rubbing my shoulders.
Everyone laughs with a loud voice.
Me and Yarandara laughed quickly and enjoyed themselves.
"Are we done here?
Looking at us, Ruthie said.
"There's no way we're leaving Zoltan. From the beginning, the conclusion was clear."
To be clear, Rooty seemed a little surprised.
"Fufu, I'm surprised. Luti likes this town very much, too."
"Yeah, I like Zoltan. Whether it's the Opala's Oden Shop, Gonz or Storm Thunder, Dr. Newman's clinic, the blacksmith Mogrim's Hora, the Adventurer Guild's Meglia and Galadin, or Tanta and Ademi playing at the Weavers Race, it's all fun."
"Yes... Lucy is happy now."
Rooty had a spill of laughter that everyone could see.
"Yeah, I'm happy."
I liked this Zoltan more and more when I heard him say it.
