Back at the inn, Daniela and I lightly packed to get out of here. Since it was an inn that I stayed in for a long time, I was cleaning up a little bit after I decided to travel, so the preparation itself was quickly completed.

"This is the last night of the Leplants."

"Sounds lonely, huh?

Daniela, who sleeps next door, stares at her half toward this side.

"Don't be a liar if I tell you I don't miss you"

"So you're staying?

"What are you talking about? I decided to go with Daniela. [M] Please don't leave me."

I'm sure it was a suggestion to show me that you don't like breaking up, but that's what I would never want to say goodbye to Daniela. Embrace Daniela by hitting a turnaround as shown not only in words but also in attitude.

"I'm sorry, I asked you something rude"

"I don't care... ugh... I want to sleep"

I feel safe by Daniela's side so much that the great absences come naturally out. My eyelid dropped without resisting the feeling of slowly stroking my head.

"Good night, Asagi"

"Good night......"

□ □ □ □

When I woke up, Daniela wasn't there.

Oh, no, I woke up in Daniela's pocket, just like I did in my sleep. It's the usual morning. The morning sun from the window rises sideways to illuminate the edge of the room and sweats sleeping in the bathroom. He seemed to hold me and sleep all night, scratching guts of sweat. Let's recommend a bath when Daniela wakes up.

The demonic props in the bathroom that caused the voyage on the first day have also been used up already. The innkeeper replenishes us during the day while we're out. Using the instrument, crush the fire ore and water ore and put it in the funnel hole of the faucet. And if you twist the handle, the hot water comes out. I recently noticed that adjusting the amount of fire ore and water ore can also change the temperature. Since then, it has a little hot water. After all, bath water feels better hot.

Hang in a handkerchief from a hot tub where hot water is accumulated. Refreshing and good feeling. Repeat that several times before soaking it in the hot tub. Bite down the naturally leaking voice and dip it to your shoulders to reach extreme ease. This is heaven.

"Ha hoo... great morning bath..."

In the hot air, I confirm my plans for today. First, if you check out this place, I'll go to the street. So I greet Mr. Baiken and exit the South Gate from there. The imperial capital Verfrost is at the heart of the empire. It's further south as it's southeast from Aretha's mountain gate.

I came to the empire to think of it and walked quite a bit. Go south through Aretha, east of Vadolph, the forest lodging town, where you can take care of the village of Senka and go south. I came to the replant. Go south again from here before earning a distance east. We attack the Imperial City from the west.

This route is the one where Daniela and I simmered when we saw a gap in the course of a month. Over the valley we surveyed, through the example village, over the rocky mountains, and beyond that we take the path east. They don't have a town in Rock Mountain, so it's Nojuku. Well, the altitude isn't that high either, so it'll be fine. They have mountain roads in place, and I wasn't particularly anxious.

"Ha, I can reverse it... let's get out"

Zava, and rises out of the water. Go out to the stripper, wipe your body and put on your clothes. I'm already out of town today, so it's combat gear.

Daniela was dressed when she got out of the stripper.

"Ah, good morning, Daniela"

"Morning, Asagi. A bath?"

"Yeah. It's like I've been holding him all night, so it's like he's been sweating. Why don't you let Daniela in?

"Right...... I got dressed but I guess I'll come in"

"Because I still have hot water"

"Mmm, okay."

Daniela decides to go in and take turns with me in the stripper. Then I guess I'll clean up the room...

□ □ □ □

Pack what you bring in and collect the garbage. Anything you move on your own will go to its original location. That was so much cleaned up that by the time it was over, Daniela had also come out and was ready to leave.

"Then go."

"Ah."

Daniela leaves the room with her luggage. I take the key on the front door shelf and glance at the room I took care of for over a month. It was the best room I've ever had. Thanks for your help. I got sentimental without a pattern. I took a moment to leave the room behind.

It's also a familiar sight to see accommodating guests at the entrance. Go through it to the counter next to the entrance. Mr. Vegan, who was working on paperwork, looks up.

"Oh, Master Asagi. It was today."

"Yes, thank you for taking care of me for so long"

I'll give you the key I had. Mr. Vegan receives it and looks at the key like he sees an emotional object.

"I'll miss you"

"I'm glad you said that, and I'm glad you stayed here."

"Hehe, that's not the word to hang on those who travel"

I laugh too when Mr. Vegan fishes me with a bitter smile.

"Now let's decide to send a proper word. I wish you both the best of luck on your trip."

"Thank you. See you later."

"I took care of you. Bye."

Daniela and I meet up and leave the counter with Mr. Vegan, who politely broke his hip and thanked him. Keep the door open and head out to town in the morning. Looking back and looking up at The Lamb's Hoop Pavilion. When I came to this town again one day, it was a good place to stay.

Well, let's go say hello to Mr. Baken from Street Street. So I thought I'd buy some skewers, eat them, and then head to a new town.

□ □ □ □

"Right... I'm gonna miss you"

"Thank you for your help then. Thanks to Mr. Baiken, we have a good stay."

"Ha, he said there's no such thing as looking at two of those situations and not helping. You're a master. Take this. Service!"

That's what Mr. Baken gives me and Daniela the skewered meat. You're left to take care of me till the end. But this would be the occasion to take it.

"Thank you!

"Thank you. I'll have it"

"Whoa! See ya!

Mr. Baken waves. Me and Daniela wave back and break up, too. This town is really full of good people.

"Hey, Daniela."

"What the hell, Asagi"

I stare at the skewers I have. [M]

"There's one last place I want to go."

"That's an odd encounter. Me, too."

"Well... then go"

"Mmm."

Daniela and I headed for the mall as we hit the skewers. Give a final greeting to the person who's supposed to be there, and then don't worry about traveling through this town. I've been thinking about that since yesterday. Is she still well......

Somehow, I was afraid to see you. I've always been afraid that I might actually be resented for not being able to help her father. Reminds me of that girl's smile and crying face I showed her last time. My legs trembled a little.

Birdshop, a grocery store on the street of the mall. This is the store her father ran. Press the wooden door to ring Karan Karan and Bell.

"Welcome -"

Then a little girl's voice echoes from behind the store.

"What are you looking for... ah"

"Hey Mariel... Long time no see"

"Mr. Asagi."

Mariel runs over and puts her arms around my hips and hugs me. I'll stroke that little head in horror. Then Mariel looked up at me with joy.

I'm sorry I couldn't make it.

"No, I'm glad you came. Where's Mr. Daniela?

"I'll wait outside. I'll call you now."

Open the door and call Daniela. Open it and wait for Daniela to come in. I had a little tear eyes.

"Mariel."

"Long time no see, Mr. Daniela"

"Ah."

Mariel narrows her eyes with joy when Daniela, who smiles gently, strokes Mariel's head.

Mariel, we're leaving town today.

"Really?

"Oh, so we were just saying hello. Mariel's shop is the last."

"Then Mother, I'll call you. I'm sure you'd like to hear it..."

"Mmm...... thanks"

The three of us go to the back. Through a shelf lined with beautiful glass finishing touches to the back of the counter. Mariel's family lives next door. Through one of those doors.

"Mother, it's a customer."

"Oh, who is it?

Oh, I'm sure Mariel will be such a woman when she grows up, a beautiful woman I think was doing her chores. I step forward and say hi. [M]

"Nice to meet you. My name is Rabbit. [M] Mariel and I... met outside of town."

"You... yes. My name is Yufi. Have a cup of tea if you like."

"Yes, I'll take it"

For a moment, Mr. Yufi, Mariel's mother with sad eyes. The four of us sitting at the table talk again. About the day I met Mariel. Events encountered. In the meantime, I was unarmed by the tea I was served. They put it out there. I was afraid it wouldn't even be evil to get my hands on it.

"... and the three of us got to this town"

"Yes... Mariel told me you were in trouble, Asagi, you are"

"... Huh?

No, it was supposed to be Mariel and Mr. Yuffi who had a hard time. I couldn't do anything.

"This is the first time you've killed a man to help this child, isn't it? It must have been hard."

"No, no... it was Mariel who was hard, and I..."

"Surely this child also lost her father and was grieving. But this kid isn't the only one. It must have been hard for you too. It can't be hard, can it?

I had something to put in. But I couldn't get that emotion out. I pushed the overflowing thing in and leaned down.

"Maybe so... but still, my emotions are lighter than your grief"

"Mr. Asagi, there is no superiority or inferiority in emotion. It doesn't matter if it's heavy or light. Someone's grieving, and I'm not gonna put up with it."

That said, Mr. Yufi gently held my head. I tried to keep pushing, but I couldn't. Quietly, tears overflow.

"Sorry...... sorry, do. Couldn't help..."

"It's okay. This kid kept me alive. That's all I'm happy about."

"Ugh... ahhh..."

I wonder what the tears I shed meant. [M]

Sadness you couldn't help? The pleasure of being forgiven? Or......

Emotions overflow in Mr. Yufi's hands, who caresses him gently. I couldn't raise my face when I cried. [M]

"Excuse me...... you're making me look silly"

"It's okay. I cried a lot too. Cry, wash away your feelings, and look forward. That's the right way to live."

"Yes...... thank you"

Mariel and Daniela came in from the next room when they wiped their hot eyeballs with clothes. Looks like Daniela, who distracted me, took Mariel away from me. Daniela also has a slightly moist eye if you look at it. This one seems to have broken up with this one.

"Sorry......"

"It's good. It's a good place for a rabbit."

"Mr. Asagi, are you feeling better?

"Oh, I'm fine now."

I'll put my hand on Mariel's cheek as she peeks in. Mariel, who laughs happily, was like Mr. Yufi after all.

I got up drunk tea I didn't have my hands on.

"It's time to go"

"When you come back, just stop by, okay?

"Yeah, definitely"

I have to come.

"You're well, Mariel. I'm going to help your mother."

"Yeah, Mr. Daniela's fine, too!

"Oh, see you later."

Daniela gets up after breaking up too. Mariel opens the door and moves on, so she reaches back with her bag on her back. This is how I remember walking into town with you. It was a carriage then, but it was one of the few times we were together.

Four of us went outside the store. The sun had ended in the morning sun and became the light of day. Crouch down and hug Mariel in the sun buildup.

"I'll be back."

"Ugh."

I'll see you again. I don't need a long goodbye.

"Bye, Mariel, Mr. Yuffi. Good luck."

"Both you, Asagi, and Daniela. We don't have to worry."

"Yes."

Wave your hand and walk out the road to the south gate. Even though I don't think this is the last time, I still miss goodbye, and it's sad. I don't like that word, although only the number of encounters is parting. I don't know why, but I hate it.

Looking back again and again, waving. Whatever was wrong with sparing them a goodbye, they reopened and waved, the two waving all the way until they were invisible.

Come on, we're done breaking up. I also sorted out my feelings. What starts here is a new journey of encounter. I've already met someone of my destiny, but still, it's better to meet more. I'm sure I'll meet all kinds of people. [M]

In the other world, I felt like I was able to move on. [M]
