Lead the other world.

9-13 Shady Heart

"You've never been this far..."

"Well, before this, you ended up turning back without going to the sausage."

I left Minsk for a few days. Takumi and Walnut were on their way to the sausage at the shortest distance while passing the unpaved road.

Whoa, whoa.

A few more days before we got to Minsk. After reading Lumiere's letter, Takumi, who decided to go to Souvenir, told Walnut, who had the same problem, the situation and invited him to come with her.

Takumi and Walnut did not end up teaching Miqin magic manipulation, saying they were sorry to burden Takumi and Walnut even more because Miqin has already spent their free time training me in citrus and el.

At that time, it is an invitation to teach magic manipulation to people who are good at handling magic this time. Walnut replied instantly.

They also spoke to the citrus fruit, but the citrus fruit chose to remain in Yamato. He still has something to teach Mi-qin, besides not letting him go about Elle.

Takumi was worried until the end, but he missed Takumi and Walnut bitterly laughing that the citrus vegetables were okay.

Citrus vegetables had grown stronger than Takumi thought when he came to this world spiritually.

Whoa, whoa.

The two had spent the day going through the big woods, walking through the open meadows and talking about the sausage again.

"Speaking of which, does Walnut have an acquaintance with the members of 'Arc'?

"Mm-hmm... maybe one of them. When I went to the sausage before, I was called out. She was from the same S-rank at the time."

"Heh, was there something you wanted to do?

"Hey, he's the one who teaches the kids about magic. It seemed unusual to have unworthy years and high quality magic. I don't see her face in it, so I guess I feel like I've been soliciting her."

"I see. Then maybe we'll see each other."

"Yeah, you are."

As I remembered when Walnut had gone to the sausage in the past, I asked Walnut how Takumi was a little troubled.

"Hey, is there an ideal fighting style in the walnut?

"Me? Mm-hmm... while flirting with speed and skill like a master, I guess I feel like overwhelming my opponent with a sword technique that incorporates magic, once. What about Takumi?"

Asked Walnut, with an indescribably subtle look next door, took a small breath across Takumi looking up into the sky.

"It's a hard place, isn't it?"

In fact, Takumi was worried about the ideal style of combat in her.

I realized that I had gained strength, and with the addition of Stella, Takumi was lost during the battle because of the number of options available.

And until now, he had pushed and won a series of sword moves and martial arts using his magic powers due to the increase in the magic power of the orange infarct, but through his battle with Astalot he felt the limits and Takumi began to worry about his own style of combat.

"I myself have no talent for interpersonal geniuses like Noah or physical skills that overwhelm everything like Jen, or for cleverly using magic like Mi-qin. In the future, if you encounter an enemy as strong as Astarot, your teeth won't stand up."

"Stop it."

Then the walnut leaning down on Takumi whining so worryingly murmured in a strong tone.

Surprised by the walnut that suddenly blocked the conversation, Takumi stared at the walnut, upset, stopping and leaning over and not seeing his expression.

"Walnuts...?

"It's not like you're not talented, even though you've had all this strength in years in action. Nobody has a better sense of combat than Takumi. If Takumi can't..."

Walnut, who had eaten his teeth off and suddenly felt himself miserable, started walking again when he lay his eyes down, overtaking Takumi.

"Sorry...... go"

"Well..."

Takumi, who had never had a particular fight with Walnut before, followed Walnut in agitation.

Walnut walking ahead, he remembered being annoyed by himself.

(What are you doing... me. I just don't have enough power, but I hit eight...)

Then they walked in silence for a while, but suddenly asked Takumi as the walnut whined in an uneasy voice.

"Takumi...... will you stay next to me all the time?

And Takumi answers without hesitation as she looks at the walnuts on the side.

"Naturally. I will never let you do it alone. You promised?

The presence of walnuts had already become irreplaceable for Takumi. Even if my life is lost, it is so important that I want to protect it.

And the two of us can face any difficulties. Walnut was the only partner for Takumi.

In the meantime, among the walnuts, I had recently become anxious about my relationship with Takumi.

Of course Takumi is the only partner for Walnut.

But Walnut secretly thought in his heart that he would be separated from seeing Takumi grow more and more recently by putting himself down and not having enough strength to keep his back.

"Me... good luck. I'll do my best..."

While a little relieved by Takumi's words, Walnut whispers so.

And no one noticed, including himself, that his leaning walnut eyes clouded for a moment.
