Lead the other world.

Outside Part 5 (Preliminary)

Under the clear blue sky, two girls who had completed their sailing journey from Minsk, Harbor Street, were descending to Yamato, the island country.

"Wait... I'm tired..."

For the first time I've ever seen a vast and beautiful ocean, one girl flutters and squeezes into the spot, whether she's too tired from sneezing on the boat.

He is El-Liberta, the sister of Zain, one of the 'Guardian Knights' of the Radatome Empire.

Elle, with long dark Ethereal hair dressed in a flickering, long, white piece, shouted softly as she looked up at the other girl, a light-sleeved pair of shorts that had stopped a while earlier.

"Well, if it's so hazy... I was planning to head over to Walnut's soon, but I was wondering if we could go into some store."

"Really!? Yay! Love the citrus!

"Heh heh, come on then"

"Yeah!"

Takumi's sister, Kiryu Citrus, laughed bitterly, but reached out to Elle, who should have been tired and crouched, but was already looking forward to shining her eyes.

The two had come to Yamato from the Radatome Empire via Astrea, the holy capital, and from Minsk, the harbour city.

Elle is suffering from difficulty. It is a disease in which the weight becomes lighter and lighter and the presence fades.

Even Claire, the former king of the Radatome Empire, who had the mighty power that could have treated El, could not identify or treat the cause of the difficulty, and there was not one person in the Radatome Empire who could save El.

That's when Elle met a citrus fruit that was a prisoner.

And nowadays, he brought Elle to Yamato to see Elle, his own master, Miqin Kandai, with the only possibility that citrus seemed to save Elle.

Then some time later, the two citrus vegetables and Elle entered a coffee shop on Yamato's Main Street to watch the people walking down the road on the terrace seats.

"It feels a little different from Radatome or Minsk again...... Everyone on the road has a good look. Nice city."

Grasping the juice with both hands, citrus fruit similarly groaned with her eyes on the main street to Elle, who groaned so blurry.

"Right. All Yamato people are amazing. After less than a year, most of the buildings have been fixed and they're more vibrant than before."

"What's going on?

"Yeah...... Uh huh."

Whoa, whoa.

(Uh... wasn't that what we were talking about right now)

Then Elle had a pitiful look when he heard from the citrus trees about that night, the raid of the two demon generals and the summoned monster.

Elle had a pitiful look all the time whether it was a shock or not, the air darkened in addition to his thoughts, and he was reflecting a little that the citrus seeds might not have been something he should have talked about now.

That was the time.

"You!? Isn't that Takumi's sister?

When two people looked at him who was suddenly surprised by his voice, there he stood with a blue short-haired man, dressed like an adventurer, carrying a large spear as long as his height on his back and wearing protective gear.

Elle was suddenly called out by a strange man, who had lost much of his word of surprise, but the citrus knew this man who wanted to know how they were doing with his arms up the store fence from Main Street.

"It's been a while, Verde. And my name is Citrus. Do you remember properly?

"Absolutely. So... where's Takumi?

It is Verde-Plavas, a former member of the St. Knights of Astrea, who answers that as he peeks inside the store.

Verde has remained in Yamato with his subordinate Simon since then, even after he was involved in the reconstruction of Yamato, as an SS ranked adventurer currently affiliated with Yamato.

And Verde viewed Takumi as a rival, often working with Takumi. But when it came to competitors, they weren't unfriendly, they were surprisingly close, and they also had interactions such as going to dinner together after training.

"I'm not here right now. We're the only ones who came back. Oh, yeah. I'd like you to meet my friend El."

Citrus vegetables introduced Elle, who looked nervous, smiling bitterly at Verde, who was looking the same.

Verde is a combat fanatic, but Citrus knew that there was goodness of those who held it within. On top of that, sometimes he saved his own life, and the citrus didn't feel bad about Verde.

And by being introduced, Elle turned back to me and rushed to bow her head to Verde.

"Nice to meet you! Uh... it's Elle. Uh, uh..."

Elle was totally too nervous to clog her words.

But when he saw it, Verde responded with a grin.

"Whoa, Elle. I'm Verde the Adventurer. Nice to meet you!"

Elle responded with a smile to Verde, who responded without making any particular tease or laughing at such Elle's tense appearance, whether her shoulder had lost its strength.

"Yes! Nice to meet you!

Citrus, who watched the exchange between the two next door, asked while thanking the inner Verde.

"Mr. Verde is home from the request?

"Uh, no. That's what I'm going to ask you to do now."

"Hmm, well. Try not to get hurt."

"Oh, thank you. Tell Takumi I'm coming."

"Yeah. See you later."

Seeing the flowing exchange between the two, Elle secretly asked the citrus fruit as Verde left.

"Oh, you know."

"Hmm?"

"Are you dating? With that guy?

"Chi, because it's not!?

Whoa, whoa.

After all, we took a break at the cafe until it was dark outside, and the two of us, who also ate dinner, were then walking down the last ramp towards the Kanzaki family mansion.

In the meantime, you were desperate to follow the diagonal back of the citrus vegetables, or a slightly quieter el spoke to the citrus vegetables walking forward.

"Citrus"

"Hmm? What's up?

"Thanks."

Suddenly thanked, the citrus greens grinned at his mouth and responded as he walked.

"What? What's the matter, suddenly?"

After a moment, Elle answers.

"It's like a dream. There's a world you don't know so much about ~. Besides, I've been home for a long time because I was weak, and I didn't have any friends."

Citrus listens in silence.

"It's the first time since I was born. She's kind enough to teach me things I don't know."

Citrus vegetables feel the back of his chest and his eyebrows getting hot, but he listened to Elle's words as they were.

"So...... thanks citrus. I'm so happy right now. Good to meet you."

"Ugh... what are you talking about? It's not like saying goodbye..."

Citrus vegetables shoved and killed emotions that seemed to overflow, and he said so unexpectedly in a joke mix.

Then Elle replied that the citrus vegetables had not imagined at all.

"It's me, I know. He said it wouldn't be that long."

Citrus lost his word and stopped his leg.

"I'm sorry, citrus. You know... the last time I wanted to look around the outside world a lot, I got on a citrus proposal. Your brother sent me away knowing that if I went, I wouldn't be back long enough."

That's why before leaving Radatome, Elle cried so much when she broke up with Zain, her only family.

Elle stops the words once and walks over to the citrus fruit that stops in front of her and gently holds her hand.

"Every day...... I was afraid to sleep alone in that tower room. He said if I woke up, I'd be gone... I don't think anyone realizes I'm gone."

After a moment of silence, Elle continues her words as she holds the cold hand of a standing citrus vegetable.

"But you know, since you left Radatome, citrus fruit has held my hand every day when you go to bed, right? I'm so happy. I'm not afraid to sleep anymore."

The citrus vegetables bit their lips with complicated thoughts.

I was just wondering if Elle was sweet and afraid to sleep in the dark that she wanted me to shake her hand with her.

Citrus recalled that this was probably the reason he had a terribly frightened look when he first slept outside.

"So thank you. I'm really glad you became my friend with citrus."

With his citrus hand in his hand, Elle gently rubbed his head against the back of the citrus. But its back was trembling in small pieces.

"What... I'm talking about..."

With a squeezed voice, the tears were overflowing from the eyes of the citrus tree, which let go of Elle's hand and slowly looked back, beyond suppression.

"Hey, Elle... you're here to cure the disease, aren't you? Cure me, we're going to see more things together, meet different people..."

"I can't... Even Master Claire was completely out of control."

"That's not true! You will definitely heal! Don't underestimate your master!

Citrus cuddled Elle tightly when he said so screaming to leave his emotions at his disposal.

"It's okay, so... Never... because I won't let you die. Elle's had a lot of hard feelings. I'm going to be absolutely happy..."

With a slight tremor, the emotions that Elle had endured too could not finally be contained and tears overflowed by the citrus vegetables spinning her words in a firm embrace to make sure Elle existed.

"Wow, me too. I want to live, citrus. I want to live more..."

Whoa, whoa.

Then for a while they hugged each other and cried at each other, and eventually just stopped crying at each other, and the citrus fruit cried out as they rubbed Elle's back.

"El, look back"

Elle looked back, as she was told, in tears, and opened her eyes.

"Beautiful..."

Citrus vegetables and El's sight reflected the darkened and lighted city of Yamato and the sky full of heaven.

Elle was overwhelmed by the beautiful and beautiful scenery, also known as its glowing Yamato specialty.

And the citrus grabs such Elle's right hand gently with his left hand, and Elle grabs it back.

(Please... Master. Please, please heal Elle...)

With such thoughts in his chest, the citrus greeted Yamato's starry sky, where meteors could be seen.
