Isekai Ryouridou
Epilogue farewell dinner
That night...
We were finally able to have dinner in peace.
The cult followers who were lurking in Genos were all judged to have returned their souls.
It was the result of a thorough search at Melfrid's direction that I was able to stroke my chest like that.The escort militia, which searched the post town with Operation Roller, was able to grasp the total number of cults in the day - the total number of visitors who hid the back of their right hand with bandages and gloves.
The cult disguised themselves as peddlers, and all of them rested in the slums.It was determined that the total number of people acting in groups of several was 24, so as not to be blurred.
The first three people Dear slashed and fell down, and the 21 people killed near the forest, the number of bodies will be exactly 24.
It was thus decided that the demon crusade had been completed.
We couldn't get out of our guard until it was confirmed.
In the meantime, as we consolidated our defenses in Lou's settlement, we sought the help of our remaining families, transporting a huge number of beast remains into the woods, while continuing our search for more enemies to hide.
Anyway, the commotion converged.
Deer's guilt was also questioned, and instead he was asked to deliver Chil-Rim to his Sims.It is the judgment of Fermez and Martin and others that liberal pioneers who have been suspected of witchcraft can get an understanding of the King's Capital even if they do not officially open an inquest and hand over the death penalty if they are dressed as Sims.
For me, it was unintentional to say goodbye to Chil-Lim in this way, but I had no choice but to put a glimmer of expectation on Camuer-Josh's Chesha cat smile: "Well, here's the face of the Housekeeper of Genos."
So we returned to Fa's house.
He will be accompanied by the parents of Dari-Sauti and Vella, the eldest brother of Dawn, who joined him in the Lou settlement, and Kamur-Josh and Late.Until then, Late had stayed in the stadium town, worrying about the Milan-Mouth people, but as the commotion converged, he visited the Lou settlement.
And only this night was Chil-Lim allowed to stay near the forest.
At dawn, the hands of Deer and Kamur-Josh will transport you to your Sims.Until then, Arishna was supposed to act together and teach her how to control the power of stargazing.
When I returned to Fa's house, Platica and Kur-Sun, and three women of Saudi's blood, were waiting for me.
It has become a lot of people, but I decided to have dinner with this member this evening.After all, Camuer-Josh and Dia were given the task of monitoring Chil-Lim, so they had to stay at Fa's house.The place where the women slept was also that Fow's house would take care of them, so it settled that only dinner would be taken care of at Fa's house.
"Thank you for waiting.Dinner is ready. "
Dinner was prepared, of course, by me, Platica, Kruer-Sung, and three women of Saudi blood.Eye Fa was very worried about the condition of my wound, but if my physical condition did not change after a few moments, it would be judged that there would be no adverse effects from germs, so I was allowed to stand still.
It was still difficult to take on the transport job, so the finished dishes were carried by other people.As we entered the hall of the mother house, Chil-rim was under Arishna's control, watched by Dear.
"... what do you say, Arishna?
When I say that, Arishna nods "yes" with her usual quiet expression.
"She's recovered her spiritual stability, so I think it's okay.Also, after time, you can expect the cult's technique, effectiveness, weakness. "
Along with Arishna, Chil-Lim lay his eyes down.
To accomplish this without looking at the fate of others, we are protecting the first teaching, which is to keep an eye on others.
It also seemed painless to me, but Chil-Lim herself put herself in the act with a definitive expression.
She wants to live.
And I want to be involved with others - I don't want to be alone, and I feel painful.That's why I was disciplining my mind.
(I was just showing my crying face... but I think Chil-Lim is really strong.)
Only half a month has passed since Chil-Lim lost his family and home.Chil-Lim was then taken away by a horrible group, such as the cult, and himself engraved the stamp of the devil on the back of his hand.With the effect of strange medicine, the dream and reality became blurred and locked up in the wagon from the heart of not wanting to get others involved in bad luck - and this Genos found a way to salvation.With such horrible eyes, Chil-Lim fell into despair and shredded the stamp of the devil with his own hands, seeking salvation from my existence.
Will I behave as bravely as Chil-Lim when I'm in the same situation?
And Chil-Lim is still ten years old.
Chil-Lim did not despair, trembling with fear and anxiety, while crying to keep others away.I had to be deeply impressed by the courage and kindness.
"... Aster, you can sit here."
And Dear, who was standing next to Chil-Lim, stood up.
"Anyway, Dia will be spending a lot of time with Chil-Lim from tomorrow.You sit next to Chil-Lim all night. "
"Okay. Thank you."
I sat next to Chil-Rim, and Ey-Fa sat next to me.And Dia lowers her hips next to that eye-fa.
By the hands of the other women, all the dishes were arranged in the middle of the seat.
Those people also waited for their hips to calm down before Ey-Fa began to greet them at the table.
"Well... I've had a lot of people this evening, but I want you to think of it as a stiff dinner after all these days of misery.And the other families shall share the joy of those that are near. "
"Yeah, yeah. I'm really glad I was allowed to spend the night at Fa's house for the first time."
"... we'll start dinner."
Ey-Fa chanted the pre-meal wording and his fellow countrymen around the forest repeated it.
When it's done, I'll take the closest wooden dish to Chil-Rim.
"I think Chil-Lim should eat slowly from soup cuisine, because his body is not in good shape yet."
"Yeah..." Chil-Lim nodded and received the wooden dish.
The soup dish is miso-tailored gibberish juice.Chil-Lim whispered with surprise, "Delicious..." while lying deep down.
"Is it delicious? Speaking of which, this is the first time I've had Chil-Lim eat my food."
Chill-Lim is deeply lying, so he doesn't know his face or anything.
Then, Deer, who was eating dextrously with her right arm, stared at her.
"Can't you still see the stars of Asta?If so, it wouldn't be a problem to see Asta. "
Chil-rim shook his head hugely wrapped in chestnut hair.
"Because it's a bad thing to make Asta feel special... that's why Asta got hurt..."
"Is that what Arishna taught you?
Arishna, bewitched by Dia, replied "No" with a quiet expression.
"It's not forbidden to see or see Asta.Chill-Lim, you must be blaming yourself.... and when you grow up, your feelings for Asta will be even more painful when you say goodbye. "
"Hmm. When it's tough, just cry as much as you want.Enduring the present to reduce the spiciness of tomorrow is not in Deer's style. "
Looking back at Kamur-Josh, Dia said something and frowned.
"... why are you so sad?
"Huh? Well, because the Astars' food is so delicious... of course it's not sad."
When Kamur-Josh is impressed, he has the habit of starting a facade by himself.Dali-Sauti and the others are laughing bitterly as the neighbor Late is eating with a sizzling face.Dia scratched her head and said, "What a charming man."
"Anyway, do you have anything to hide about the treatment of Chil-Rim?Why don't you just tell me about it?
"What's hidden? We need to get Chil-Rim to Sims.I'm sure there will be a place where she can rest in peace. "
"But your Sims know how to speak to Roku?Are there really places where Chil-Rim can spend peace of mind?
"Yeah? Weren't you the one who invented the idea of taking her to your Sims?
"The situation was different then and now.Chil-rim has to live happily ever after. "
Then Chil-Lim said with a small voice, "It's fine."
"No matter where it is, it's not even in the hands of the cult... I'll live with my heart right."
"You seem to have an unexpectedly strong heart, but your life is still a long one.If you live away from people like that, your tough heart might break someday. "
…………
"Are you in a difficult mood to get away from Asta and the people around the forest?Even Deer can tell that much.Can you truly live in peace while pushing such sorrow to death?
Chil-rim held the wooden plate of gibber juice and stopped moving.
After looking sadly at him, Ey-Fa looks back at Dia.
"Hey, don't you think that would only hurt Chil-Rim?
"I hate it when Chil-Lim looks so sad.He's been so unlucky, he should be happier than anyone else. "
And Dia turned again toward Kamur-Josh, with her mouth curled like a child.
"So if you have any ideas, let Chil-Lim know.Then Chil-Lim will be able to have dinner in a fun mood. "
"Hmm. I've been thinking about talking about this since I left tomorrow morning.It's a story that doesn't really make Genos or the King's Landing heard. "
Then Dari-Sauti tilted his neck.
"It's Kamur-Josh.Are you up to something bad?
"No, as far as I'm concerned, I'm proud that everything fits in a circle.However, since there are diplomats and others staying in Genos today, I'm not listening to them.Even if the Houses of Genos and the diplomats were convinced, it would be doubtful if you could convince His Majesty the King of the King's Capital. "
"Hmm. If that's not a bad thing, there's no reason for us to listen.If that makes Chil-Rim easier, why don't we talk about it here?
Camuer-Josh stroked the elongated lower jaw with the golden brown beard and looked around.
"There are a number of people I will meet for the first time.I wonder if it's okay for people around the forest to have the same level of trust in their Sims. "
"I, Lord Genos, am in debt.But most of all, I wish Chil-Lim rest. "
"I am the same.The people around the forest, because they are important friends, there is no betrayal. "
Arishna and Platica argued first.
Camuer-Josh narrowed his eyes and smiled.
"Now, let's talk about it.... no, this isn't really about anyone's ears.I wonder if the only people who are stupid are the cults who might be based somewhere on the border.Is it inevitable that Chil-Lim's whereabouts should never be understood by the cult?
"Hmm. If we don't talk, secrets won't come out.Where are you taking Chil-Rim?
"It's Sims, for the time being.Just in time, they should be wandering their Sims right now. "
That said, Camuer-Josh smiled happily.
"Actually, I'm thinking of entrusting her to The Gamley One."
"Huh?" I was the only one who said that.
But of course, many people would have been as surprised as I was.It was an unexpected word.
Well, why is there a "Gamlay's Seat"?It's none of their business, isn't it?
"No, because they're a group of people who look away from the habits of the world and live freely.Could Chil-Rim be the most worthy person to stand up for?
"No, but...."
"There is a mercy there in exactly the same situation as Chil-Rim.I wonder if that would be the best way to save Chil-Lim. "
Til-rim, lying down, twitched his thin shoulders.
"... in the same situation as me...?
"Yeah. If we succeed, it could be worse than yours.Anyway, even though he's blind, he sees the fate of others on his own.Moreover, it was not a skill acquired in training, but a natural force.That's why he's been alive for seventy or eighty years with the eyes of the cult... I wonder if he'll be an irreplaceable master to you?
Ey-Fa stepped forward to Kamur-Josh with a harsh expression.
"It's Kamur-Josh.You're talking about an old man named Rylanos, right?
"Yeah, he's showing astrology in one seat.Instead of hiding your power, you're staring at the cult by making it quiet.Nobody would have imagined a crew of such a suspicious traveler would have such a wonderful stargazing power. "
I was struck by a fierce surprise.
Camuer-Josh's eyes looked at me with a clear light somewhere.
"Aster seems to have something in mind."
"Yes, yes.... that old man seems to be standing right in front of me, but he couldn't feel his presence.Like Chil-Lim, he couldn't see my stars... so he couldn't feel my very existence. "
"Yeah, yeah. I'm sure that old man is still alive in the sparkle of the stars."
With the same eyes, Camuer-Josh turned back towards Chil-rim.
"Chil-rim. As the diplomat said, you must never despair and live in peace. [M]Perhaps it would be more fun to wander around as a traveler than to live in a strange Sim.There are so many delightful people in The Gamlay.I don't think there's any such thing as a feeling of loneliness. "
"Travelers... are they... wandering around and living...?
"Yeah. They're all named after the people of the West, so we can't just step into Mahidora.It doesn't matter whether it's west, east or south, it's wandering around like the wind is blowing. "
"... even on this land called Genos...?
"Yeah, they really like Genos, at least once a year.We're all deepening our bonds. "
Chil-rim's body is starting to tremble small.
When I got worried and tried to step aside - Chil-Lim looked me in the face with his face up.
Her silver eyes were soaking up tears.
"Then... will I see Asta again someday...?
"Yes. If Chil-Lim really joins The Gamlay, maybe we can celebrate the Easter of the Sun God together."
A little hand of Chil-Rim came to my chest.
Your face is watching you cry hard.
"But I... hurt Asta quite a while ago..."
"It was Mundt who hurt me.Chil-rim is nothing bad.... I'd be so happy to see Chil-Lim again. "
A large tear began to spill from Chil-Lim's eyes.
But instead of crying, his face smiles.
"I want to see Asta too..."
"Well then, it's settled," Camuer-Josh pounded.
"If you're a sorceress king, you might want to push your Sims against people suspected of witchcraft, but if you look at the big picture, it's the right thing to do.It is most important that Chil-Lim spend his life in peace by blinking the eyes of the cult. "
"Hmm. If you had such an idea, you should have told Chil-Rim before you worried him."
After Dia said that, she turned her back on us.
"Hey, it's Chil-Rim.Look at Deer, not just Aster. "
"Eh... but..."
"But it's not.You'll stay with Deer until we find one of those travelers.In the meantime, are you going to keep turning away from Dear?
Deer, speaking like that, smiled very powerfully and very gently.
"Just look at Deer.Even if you inadvertently say what happened to Deer, Deer doesn't care. "
Chil-Lim looked at Dia in a very gentle manner.
Chil-rim's silver eyes narrowed as if he had seen something dazzling.
"Happiness and misfortune come to any human being.You'll have a hard time showing that, but you don't have to worry about Dia.Dia lives the world as she please and returns her soul as the gods have shown. "
"Mm-hmm. That's what we are.Or maybe all humans are. "
Dari-Sauti also spoke for the first time in a while.
"We don't live like that, but we walk the path we believe in and eventually return our souls to our mother's forest.In the meantime, it would be good if there were some hardship.We will never be afraid of any disaster. "
Chil-rim closed his eyelids as he could not hold them.
"I'm sorry... everyone's stars are so dazzling... I'm about to be swallowed..."
Chil-Lim, speaking like that, looked happy somewhere.
The sparkles of the stars must have given her something else, not fear.
The little hand held my chest tightly.
(I wonder if it's like a black hole just for me in the glow of a meteor cluster.If that's going to be Chil-rim's peace of mind... I'll be proud to say that I'm a "people without stars".)
Thinking like that, I laid my hand on Chil-Rim's hand.
Ei Fa is turning back towards Deer on the other side.
"It's Dia. You resemble the people of the sanctuary that I know well... but you also have something completely different.After all, you've spent two years in the outside world, and you must already be a member of the outside world. "
"Of course. He and Deer were different from the beginning."
"Mm-hmm. After a day since last night, I finally understood that."
― ― Ai-Fa softly narrowed her eyes and repeated her words like that.
"But still, you're a very good person.Would you return to wandering life if you deposited Chil-Rim in the "Gamlay's Seat"?
I see. I'd like to explore their roots for a while, but we can't act together forever. "
"Then, feel free to visit Fa's house whenever you like.Welcome as a valued friend, not just as a benefactor who saved Asta. "
Dia smiled like Tier after a moment.
"Okay. At that time, I may have him stop by.If you could have this delicious meal, it would be worth it. "
"Oh, everyone, please go ahead with your meal.If it cools, the flavor will go down. "
So when I nodded, dinner finally resumed.
Because I didn't have much time to spare, they were all simple offerings, but everyone talked about it happily.After a while, Dari-Sauti said, "Yes."
"I completely forgot to tell you.On my way back to downtown, Dora was called to the station town. "
"To Dora's father?I thought the streets were sealed off and we couldn't do business today.
"Hmm. As soon as the blockade was lifted, they ran to the station town in Totos.Looks like we wanted to make sure the settlement near the forest was safe.Astor's hurt a little, but I told him he's doing fine. "
That said, Dari-Sauti smiled joyfully.
"So, tell me.Tomorrow I'll be selling vegetables for the rainy season, so I wanted another delicious meal. "
"Oh, I see... well, today was really the rainy season vegetable ban day."
"Mm-hmm. I'd like to ask my blood family for help.Of course, to the extent that it is not burdensome for the body. "
With the same expression, Dari-Sauti looked back at Ai-Fa.
"Ei Fa and Asta will need rest, and we must reassure our families.I'd like to return to Saudi's house for a few days and then stay again, but can I have Ey-Fa's permission?
"Mm-hmm. If you do that, we'll be helpful.... or maybe we're keeping Dari-Sauti and the others here. "
"Hmm, I don't want you to forget.We were eager to bond with Fa's house. "
Such casual interaction between Dari-Sauti and Ai-Fa warmed my heart.
The days of dreadful misfortune are over, and the bustling daily life returns.
And the next time we reunited with Chil-Lim, she was supposed to be involved in my destiny not as an extraordinary but as a daily being.
(Well, it's a little difficult to think of Gamlay's House as a everyday existence....)
Thinking like that, I looked back at the alternate Chil-Rim.
Chil-Lim, who was eating with his eyes down again, raised his face slightly as if he noticed my gaze.
When I laughed with all my heart, she smiled a tremendous smile worthy of her age of ten.
Then we were struck by a disaster that could not be thought of as something of the world, with some injuries - and after that, we were able to deepen our ties with two important friends with golden eyes and silver eyes.
