It's a bad story about chest shit.

I can't stop the bitter bugs from biting and crushing my face. Treat your friends like tools, throw them away like dust, etc. It is a work contrary to humanity.

"So, what happened to [Dawn]? You can't blame me for that."

"The monster came out and had to flee, and I was forced to believe it was true. I can't prove the testimony of five people, but I can't overturn it, and I won't be blamed."

"However, after Ciori left, the request continued to fail and it was scattered. Until then, the only reason I was able to fulfill my request was because Shiori was there. I finally let the member's girl die and moved to another branch in Tris."

"... I see."

Alec turned to the tent. What did Shiori think when he was abandoned by where he thought he finally got it? Behind the labyrinth (dungeon), where nobody comes, you're alone, floating in the heat.

After bathing, Theori suddenly lowered her head and showed it to me, and disappeared behind the tent for washing.

"... I'll see how it goes."

Maybe you should be calm, but I noticed a lonely back.

As she walked behind the tent, she saw Shiori gazing at the water column as she sat down and washed her laundry, and Ruli standing beside her.

Slightly slapping your ears, singing.

Rabbit chase, his mountain.

He's fishing in his river.

I'm still dreaming.

An unforgettable home

How are you, parents?

I have friends.

Even if it rains on the wind.

A memorable home.....

Is it a song from my homeland? I didn't understand the meaning of the song spinned with unfamiliar words, but the exotic feeling echoes badly sweetly and sadly and strikes my chest.

"Siori"

I fell into the illusion of disappearing, and I unintentionally called his name. The song stopped.

"Earlier, I heard a rude thing. I'm sorry."

"No, it's okay."

Theori laughed because she was worried about you.

"Well, I'm one of them."

The dropped words opened Shiori's eyes, and then narrowed into the form of a smile.

Glad to hear it, buddy.

I couldn't understand exactly what it was, but I still felt certain that my words touched the soft part of Shiori's heart.

"... now, let's get some help and get some rest. Tomorrow is finally the day to crush."

"Yes"

Wait for the laundry to finish and reach out to Theori. Grabbing back his hesitantly stretched hand, he pulled him up.

A strong woman who came back to work in spite of the hard work. But his appearance is in danger. I wanted to hold it against my chest, but I stopped right there.

- The next day.

The party who had rested well with Siori's dedication finally arrived at Manticore's residence. I wonder if they detected any signs of this, or if it would sting my skin. Linus gasped to break the tension while each of them stood tall.

If I kill Manticore safely, I want to eat fried chili.

Clement, whose eyes were rounded for a moment, smiled loudly next.

"Then I prefer yakitori. I'd like to try a drink on that dish."

"Well, I prefer Macedonia. The fruit's mint syrup is perfect for dessert after meals."

Following Clement, Ellen said. I see. It's not a bad thing to like rewards. With the entertainment, Alec also tried to speak of hope.

Well then, I'm going to do it with that pig's ginger. I like that dark sauce. "

"Everyone's falling apart!

Theori laughed.

"Well, tonight's offering is everyone's favorite!

Cheers up in front of strong enemies. Morale is high. I can go.

Alec said with the magical power of the love sword.

"Siori, who are you? Do you have anything?"

"Me?

Didn't you think they'd hear you? Theoli blinked her eyes.

"... yes, then I..."

The words that followed were scratched out by the roar of the bass. The wind with overwhelming power shakes the trees and the ugly human beast appears.

"Let's go!

Respond!

The lid of battle was cut and dropped.

"... certainly a manticore. Your request is complete. Thank you for your hard work."

Zach, who had finished his neck exam, exhaled a lot and told him that the request was complete. Soon the union (guild) was filled with cheers.

"That's Alec. It's not exactly the same as S-Class."

"Clement's double sword, I wanted to see it too."

Even Linus can't get rid of a flying beast! We're talking about dropping birds that fly with stupid motion vision. "

"Look, I'm barely hurt or tired. It's true that with Ellen and Shiori behind us, it's safe."

With friends surrounded by mouth-to-mouth compliments, Zach's eyes flushed. My eyes met.

"... how did it go? The Tris branch keeps it safe."

"Beautiful. I was comfortable and tireless on the road."

Zach is satisfied with the praise of letting go.

"--So, is Theoli free now?

"Ah, you were a solo."

Zach, who seemed to have made a mistake, smiled deeply.

"That's not what I meant. Does that mean we have a target?"

Zach's cheerful smile vanished and his gaze pierced.

"I'm not here. Hey, what's wrong with that?"

"I like it. I'll take that woman."

Oh?

Zach's eyes were filled with a dazzling light. Even the dragon looked at me with a shot to death and was intimidated by a lurking voice.

"You and him are too different identities. He's the one who gets hurt because of something. If you're just gonna play with this kid, don't do it."

Even though I left the line and got rounded a lot, the name of the former S-class is not Date. She even releases anger that resembles killing, takes it flat from the front, and carves her lips into the shape of a smile.

Is it something to play with? Seriously, I am. Until I was this old, I worked for my country. My wife doesn't get punished for wanting a woman she loves. "

Yes, I was attracted to that woman. A rare woman. An idea that is not confined to common sense, the courage to turn one's shortcomings into advantages, the strength to stand by one's own strength, the care that was meticulous even during the journey, and the calm face with a small amplitude of joy and sorrow.

"It's easy to say, but you know that people don't shut up. Again, you're not the one who can put a spearball on something, he's the one. You know that, don't you?"

Show Zach a fierce smile.

"... you're going to eat a lot. Why don't you tell me why you don't want to let go, Duke (...)"

Zach had an incredible smile. Looks like you're on a provocation.

"I picked him up. I'm looking at my sister. It's only natural to wish my sister happiness as a brother. He's hurt enough. Try to imitate anything that hurts you any more. I won't forgive you, my king brother (...)"

The clandestine glance behind the noise was eventually diverted from Zach.

I don't want to see him get hurt again.

"I heard that story on the way, Zach. I want to be where he is."

Zach sighed as briefly as he gave up.

"... that's not the right word. Try it if you can, Alexei."

"... ah, leave it to me. Blaisac"

Well, then I...

Continuation of words scratched off at that time.

"I want a place."

It was a faint voice, but I did hear the wish.

She's a strong woman. However, the occasional expression burned his chest. I don't know the details of being on a vague body in a strange land away from my homeland. But if I could, I wanted her to be the base of her heart.

Theoli

Freed from enthusiasm, he finally said goodbye to his friends for a while and shouted at his back after the union (guild).

Siori looked back at the sights of the city as the signs of darkness approached.

"Kill Manticore safely, and we've got what you want. You got what you want?

Take Siori's hand and mouth like a knight.

"If you want, I'll be your place."

While understanding the meaning of the word and looking at its face gradually turning red,

(- Well, how do I get rid of it?)

Think about that.

I lifted the edge of my mouth thinking about the days ahead that would be fun.
