"You guys were safe. Oh, good, good."

That said, I felt relieved as I stroked the monsters at my feet.

The soldiers sprinkled around to faint them.

I was deepening my rapport with the monsters who had been able to meet safely, even though I didn't have to go after them.

"Even so, Mr. Auger, I'm sorry you came all the way out here to help me."

"What, I told you I owe Mr Kyo. If you don't mind, I'll help you until this is over."

That's how I grabbed back the hand of Augusta who gave me a powerful handshake. Around it, Bahanello, who grew up in Augusta's garden, and Bahanello, who grew up in my garden, were hanging out with each other.

"Ho-ho-ho-ho, shall I go back into the woods? I can only fight to protect the forest."

"Oh, thank God! Grandpa!"

With that said, while I waited for my entrant to go back into the woods, I thought about my future policy.

Now, what do we do first?

If it's a light force, we've got it. However, there will still be insufficient power to go to the Empire to get Lily and the others back.

Then, first, I'll prepare my strength. And to do that, I have to go.

"Oniichan, it looks like someone's coming this way."

Hel's voice temporarily interrupted my thoughts and turned my attention to the soldier who was coming towards me.

The man is not hostile and walks slowly here holding the sword he was pointing to his hips and poses as he surrenders.

I was not alert, and the monsters around me were also alert, but I stopped walking when the person approached a certain distance.

"Don't worry. No hostile intentions."

That's how you take off the helmet you were wearing and reveal the man's face from underneath.

"Long time no see, Kyo-kun."

... um, who is it?

Have you ever met him?

When I was thinking about that, the other person coughed it up and gave me a name.

"The city guard captain's crown glasses. Lily's brother would be easier for you to understand."

"Ah! Fountain Soldier!

I don't think anyone remembered, but there was. Of course she was, Lily's brother.

Yeah, I was wondering if it would come out anymore.

And considering such a metaphor, the soldier named Kurogane looks around and asks.

"... isn't Lily here?

"Ah, yes, he's with the Emperor Brave....."

I explained everything to Mr. Kurogane.

After hearing that, Mr. Kurogane seemed troubled by some mysterious expression.

"It's okay, Mr. Kurogane. Lily will definitely get it back with our hands."

"Come here a minute."

Say, Kurogane-san takes my hand and takes me to the back of the woods, but what is this flow?!

In the back, Hell says, "Wow! Oniichan is on your way?!" Yikes!! ", and I don't think I'm worried because the monsters around me and Hydra are with me.

After going deep into the woods for a while, it was narrower than before, but slightly cleared up.

There was a grave in the middle of the place.

"? What is this?

The tomb is carefully buried, and the wooden cross that stands there is always well maintained and, above all, it can be seen that flowers have been prepared recently.

Kurogane, who had been silent for some time in front of the tomb, opened his mouth unexpectedly.

This is Lily's grave.

Huh?

It was an incredible dialogue.

No, it's a dialogue I don't understand.

Lily's grave? What are you talking about? Because Lily's alive and she's dead? What the hell does that mean?

Yes, Mr. Kurogane looked back at me in confusion.

"... maybe I can talk to you now. About Lily."

There was a feeling of regret, anguish, and a willingness to apologize.

"Please, help Lily."

That's how Mr. Kurogane lowered his head and told me everything about Lily.
