"Well... Father, you couldn't help me..."

"No...... it's not about Mr. Asagi being depressed. My father protected me..."

When I heard Mariel's father had been killed by the bandits we desperately crusaded, I regretted why he didn't come sooner. If we hurry through the woods, we might have made it...

"... Asagi, wouldn't you regret it if we were in a hurry?

"Ah, ah..."

"Are you an idiot? We noticed that there were bandits going through the woods. I won't be able to help but regret what I found out later. I do regret not being able to help Mariel's father. But switch. It's not the regret we carry."

Daniela's words pierce her like thorns. That's true... you used to say not to stand in regret... But...

"But sadly, it doesn't change... I wish I could help"

"Right...... that was a bad way of saying it. Grieving is not a bad thing...... Let me mourn you."

Nodding, he stands up slowly, his two feet firmly treading the earth, on the ground wet in blood. When I saw myself, it was bright red with blood. The beautiful jade coat was dyed red and the silver armor was wet in blood. None of this is my blood.

"Hey, Daniela."

"What the hell, Asagi"

"If you're going to mourn... the bandits want to mourn too. I'm not sympathetic. To change my mind I want to mourn to divide."

"... oh, okay. Is that good enough for Mariel?

"Yes... honestly, I hate people, but if you think about the future of Mr. Asagi, I'd like to offer you my full condolences"

"Thanks...... Mariel. I'm sorry, I did my best."

"No, it's fine. Mr. Asagi asked me to help him..."

Mariel agreed, and I will mourn them. I'm sure some guys didn't want to be bandits... one wrong step and I think I might have fallen for bandits too, I can't do it. Oh, you're sympathetic to me. There's nothing I can do to make it. Shake your head to fog up cluttered emotions.

"Yes, Daniela... do you need proof that you crusaded a bandit or something?

"Right... I'd take your neck if it was normal"

"The chief inspector..."

"Oh, I have some confirmation work on the arrangements..."

Honestly, I don't want to lose my neck. Even though I did the trauma thing, I can't believe I even got to my neck...

"Is it just the Admiral?

"I can't help but take the neck around me. But is it good? I'll do it."

"No, because if we don't do it here, we're going to drag cheats"

In fact, the feeling was strong. Can you just mourn and change your mind? When I asked myself, the answer was' difficult '. Even if I mourned you, I just killed you. Then I want meaning for what I killed. Mariel survived. But it's not. Other than that... I wanted certification from a third party that this killing was not evil.

"When is the Admiral?

"You must be this guy I knocked down... the most decent equipment. It's common sense for the Admiral to equip himself well."

So is that. The equipment, which would have been splendid to see, was also brilliantly pierced through the heart and neck by Daniela's fine sword and painted with blood.

I pull out the Asikirimal and stare at the blade. I bought it even though it was a foot cut and the first thing I used was a neck cut......

"Mariel, let's get away for a little while"

"Yes......"

Daniela moves Mariel across the carriage. Daniela came back a while later. Mariel nodded at me, so she seemed to stay away from me.

Ready. I ride horseback on the Admiral's back and fill my neck. Take a deep breath and pull Asikirimal straight to the side... I did something I don't want to remember anymore.

After a lot of vomiting, he wrapped many cloths around them and packed them in a leather bag with his neck out of a vain bag into another bag. I really didn't want to put it in the empty bag. Daniela took care of her neck, so after she handed her bag over, she undone Marielle's carriage, which had fallen, with me and Daniela. We mourned the dead while giving Mariel a rest in it. Fire magic can't be used well, so I buried one by one by the woods. Hang one by one, praying that its body will return to the earth and be born as a new life.

"Asagi, what's that?

"It's the tomb mark of the world I was in."

"Well...... simple, but nice"

"Thanks"

Make only the number of graves a cross made of wood and stand over your head. Pushing firmly to avoid falling, he stepped around and consolidated, and by the time it was all over, the neighborhood was evening.

I decided to camp by the carriage, feeding the horses Daniela had collected while I was working on the cross. Certainly somewhat ahead of the bloodstained ground, moving in the dark. You can see the lights of a town in the distance that looks like a replant, but the gate will be closed even if you walk from now on.

"Asagi, give me a rest. I'll make dinner tonight."

"Sorry......"

Yeah, I'll call you when I can.

I say no to Daniela and go into the tent I built next to the carriage. I already have the laying cloth ready. I haven't even dropped my underwear. Remove all the gear, remove the beautiful cloth from the empty bag, dampen it with water magic, and then wipe the blood except where it dried and fell off. Soon the cloth turned red and black, but the cloth became clean with about 2 pieces. but it still stinks of iron.

"Daniela, I'm sorry, could you make me a hot tub with a little dirt magic?

"Oh, I don't mind... what do you do with the water?

"You'll be fine today, and I'll boil you with fire magic"

"Okay."

I have installed the magic props of the junction, and I decided to exercise fire magic by deciding that the battle was okay because it was not in the woods. Fill the water with water magic all over the hot tub made by Daniela. Stick one arm in there and pour in the red magic. I flushed it with all my might for a few minutes and it warmed to the point where the hot air rose from the water. The temperature of the bath was heated for a few more minutes. Magic was an empty hole. I feel terribly tired, but, well, I could prepare a bath. Bigger cloth and towel replacement cloth out of a vain bag, get dressed. The big cloth is a partition replacement. You can get dressed if you tie it to a stick that supports the front of the carriage and a blue sword pattern that sticks out on the ground. I'm a little uncomfortable...

"Huh... you're a little tired..."

Sitting on the ground looking at the bathroom I could. Let Daniela and Mariel take the most bath. Wouldn't the temperature be hot? Oh, don't be here to peek at the change of clothes... I'm scared the two of you will get mad at me, so let's just rest in the tent.

Slowly roll your tired body over the cloth. I miss the hanging cloth a little, but I can't help it. It's time for the cloth stock in the vain bag to be suspicious... With his arms instead of pillows, he grew more comfortable.

It's been a turbulent day. I killed people for the first time. Guilt of killing doesn't go away. It won't go away, but I'm ready to feel like accepting it without turning away. Thanks to Mariel. He's still a little kid, but he's solid. I'm sure my parents' education was good. Guilty, but hateful are the bandits who took such parents.

Where is this place of conflicting emotions? The joy of Mariel's life and the sadness she killed to keep Mariel alive. The guilt of killing people and the achievement of bringing people to life.

With such contradictions, I lowered my eyelids to a sense of fatigue that I had lost my magic powers. I had a little dream until Daniela woke me up saying dinner was ready. I felt like I saw myself killing someone. I didn't know who killed him.
