Log Horizon

◆ Chapter3.06

There was a sense in Shiloe that it must have failed.

I can't determine the route of success if I reconsider it, but still, couldn't I have done it a little better? I think.

For example, what if we could have had a little more conversation with Eins from a different cut in the past scene, last month, in the roundtable meeting that preceded that other month? What if we gave priority to gathering information in the case of Shibuya over the awakening of the Earthlings? What if we focus on Akiba's internal affairs without going out to Operation Golden Sacrifice or something?

- That kind of question comes to mind. Of course, sometimes, Siloe has done what she believes is best. It is suspicious to say whether another decision could have been made if time had now been rewound and returned to that moment, unless we brought back information about the future.

But still, couldn't you have managed to get a few more results? I guess it's the human spirit that makes me think that, and the meaning of the word regret.

At the end of the Round Table meeting, Shiloe was straight back to the Alliance House. The leaders of the other guilds, Eins, should have some kind of exchange of views with Karasin, Michitaka and Isaac, even if they were not able to do so, but they decided it was impossible because of the noisy conference room. Above all, the siloe was saturated in my head, too, and I didn't know what to tell you.

By nature, siloes are pre-emptive human beings. Negotiate it. Whether it's a large-scale battle (Reid), after going through it in advance and assembling plans and countermeasures in detail, it's a staff member in a direction that can be crushed without even thinking about it.

If a sudden change of circumstances occurs like this one, it is not something that was planned or prepared in advance. More importantly, in a situation in which the centre of Shiloe's own mind was not defined, it was not thought that talking to other guild masters would allow for contentious talks.

That's why Shiloe was stuck on his usual desk for two days and nights when he pulled into the office.

"I wonder how this happened."

That said, the reason for this is finally being understood.

This much time will put together quite a few thoughts. I tried to let it go when I touched the hot water instead of drinking the tea that had completely cooled me down, and Siroe sighed.

"Hey, Shiro."

"Direct..."

It was a direct line that showed up opening the office door without touching it.

As the rough roomwear best friend walks straight into the office, he puts the tray on his desk and speaks out in an awkward tone.

"What do you say? Is it time to get your head together? You slept with him. You look like him."

"Are you sleeping?

"Ouch."

"... just a little dented"

Siloe's whining while worrying about her sleeping habits was childish as I was. In front of the direct line, a lot of things to fix come off. It doesn't matter.

"I don't think so."

"Well, yeah. I guess."

"You think you could have done better or something."

"Why are you so clumsy," he said.

I have a lot of reflections.

The fact that you were avoiding dialogue with Eins is a big one among them. In front of the building that there should be no interference in the internal affairs of other guilds, we should have contacted each other personally on occasions other than the Round Table Conference and strived for mutual understanding.

It wasn't a matter of likes or dislikes, it should have been done.

I think so.

Maybe that changed the outcome a lot. As long as there is a proper mutual understanding.

"I'm gonna do it, but I'm not gonna do it any more than I do now, am I? It's no use thinking."

"Yes... I wonder"

The direct line allegations are also probably true.

Ains' good intentions are unquestionable.

But there is no way that the good will can drag you out and throw it all.

It is good to help this, for example, if a toddler was left behind at the scene of a fire.

But on the other hand, is it good to let an unprepared rescuer enter the flames in thousands? Probably not good. That only adds to the damage. It is evil, of course, to abandon the rescuers who need them. It's a problem with no answers.

"So, what did you think? Operational Staff"

"Yeah.... I see you've already entered the next phase of the story. I mean, I'm done with the Round Table."

"Was Honesty making a scene?

Siloe takes the night to sort out the ideas she has considered.

Eins' feared spread of apathy is probably not at the heart of the problem right now.

"No. It's not irrelevant, but that's not the direct cause. The question of the apathy of the city of Akiba is a trigger or something...... The Eighth Shop District survey also shows that there are about a hundred and fifty people who are so doomed that they can't really move. Of course, there are only about 12,000 more Adventurers in Akiba. It's starting to spill over into neighboring cities. There's no way there are thousands of depressed people."

"Heh? No, you don't. I think there were a lot more of them."

The direct line turns a frigid gaze as he eats the scones he brings in.

"No, that's not true. That's probably a matter of impression. There are 12,000 Adventurers in Akiba, but that's not a permanent residence. There are (adventurers) who go everywhere in business and (adventurers) who go on an expedition to hunt demons, so the number of (adventurers) who are staying in this city at one moment is probably about 8,000 or so. Because of this, I see a relative number of people sitting on the streets all day long or sitting around the city with no energy."

"Ah. Oh."

It is the nature of this problem that we see and feel a lot - a lot.

It can also be said that what you have never cared about is a "mood" problem that becomes unsolvable once you have gone beyond a certain stage. As soon as you reach the amount of summer homework you have and the time remaining, it will also be harder for you to give up and try.

"It was probably the same in Honesty. The size of" Honesty "should now be over 2,000. If there are more than a hundred apathetics in there, feelings can be caught up first. That's all I can see, and I feel like I can't solve it."

"... I don't care what you think. That's a mean face."

The direct line is shown by pulling the twist of both eyes and threading them.

I guess it's Ains' thing.

"But conversely, one hundred and fifty is only one hundred and fifty. I think it was possible to reduce it. If it's about a hundred people, you can assume a little bit in various guilds, and now the" Eighth Mall "has begun to be underwritten. Perhaps what we need to solve the problem is not such an exaggerated budget or an institution or reform, it would have been nice if there had been five Mrs Mariers. Of course, not everyone can get up and be happy with that, but with me, we put a budget for that.... Unfortunately for Mr. Ains, there is no way to solve this problem in one swing like the Holy Sword (Excalibur). I guess if you want that, the problem itself will get worse or the solution will be delayed...... All we have to do is take some time."

I wasn't sure in the second half and it made me squeal, but thank God Siloe shouldn't seem that way. Siloe is not bright on that side, but there is a vague feeling that when cracks are on the way to one community, hard means - community solemnity or major policy shifts or pressing burdens on some - will only complicate the problem more than solving it.

In the end, humans need the sun. Someone who brightens up the world and tells me it's not even that bad.

That's why Shiloe, Karasin, and Krusty have pushed the level of the Adventurer to rise and interact with the Earthlings, whether they're somewhat far away.

Shiloe had Kanami, direct successors and squad leaders.

Fifty bells and Lundelhaus came to Minori and Towya.

Akatsuki was there for me.

"Then there's no problem."

"No, the other way around. The problem's gotten bigger."

"Really?

Siroe has also brought in a direct line, perhaps a bite of the squad leader's muffin to continue.

"The problem with people who are unmotivated can be solved if they are meant to be, and of course that doesn't mean that everyone's mind will be able to live happily every day as sunshine, but it wasn't a problem that we couldn't do anything about, at least not with our hands or feet. There must have been more we could have done."

This world is small.

Even if hundreds of people and their disappointment and apathy bring dark clouds into the city because they are small.

But because it's small, on the contrary, it's possible to change the future with a little effort. Let ten smiles illuminate the dark clouds that hundreds of sighs have called in. There must be no despair.

"I mean, the real problem is that we were... reluctant to move from ourselves and running Akiba. The city is full of disappointed people who would have been able to care for us if we had really joined forces. But I couldn't. That's because we all thought it would be okay if each guild did their own thing to make the Round Table a little smaller. Adventurer's body is very healthy and powerful, and most things can be solved by magic and items. So I thought it was necessary to govern."

Because I'm just a student and a young social worker, I didn't think it was appropriate to create an organization with such a heavy image as politics or government. Be unconscious. I was avoiding it.

But how many adventurers are more responsible than Siloe?

There are only 30,000 Adventurers in this Yamato. Hope is dim when it comes to whether there are politics or state-run professionals among them. Even if I were there, there's no way there's a human being with experience committed to medieval feudal aristocratic society.

In this world where everyone is an amateur, what you say because you're an amateur doesn't even make you an escape.

"It's where Mr. Ains stood and pointed out, after all. We, as a whole, had no intention of taking responsibility. At least externally, it was a situation where they couldn't help but say so. I was going to speak as Gilmouth on the Horizon of Records, but I wasn't going to speak for Akiba."

"Nothing. Shiro's not bad, is he? There was nobody like that. Besides, if that's the rationale, what you needed most was Eins' distress signal, right? It happened in our guild, but we need everyone's help. We can't deal with Akiba alone because we don't have a government. Put it down. That's what I should have done."

"That could be it. But it's the past, and it's not anymore. The problem is at another stage."

"What's that?"

Siloe dropped her gaze and twirled the pen she had unconsciously.

I feel heavy because I know what I say drives me. But it was me (Siloe) who didn't step on the brakes in such situations. If you haven't noticed, it's still evil to hide the fact that you've noticed. That's how I've lived before, and I'm not going to change it in the future.

"There's no one to represent the Roundtable Conference, which means Akiba doesn't talk, which means that Akiba doesn't have his own opinions in this world, and it doesn't matter what he does."

"Isn't this a round-table meeting?

Siloe shut her mouth.

It was good when Crusty was there.

That unparalleled personality that I've learned everything about, I could make my surroundings acknowledge that I'm the "ruler of Akiba" just because of that atmosphere without saying anything to anyone. None of the leaders of the participating guilds questioned Crusty's chairmanship of the Roundtable Conference, nor did the Lords of the Alliance of Free Cities Eastal raise doubts about it.

Crusty was one of the majesty of his king, and the difficulty that the Round Table Conference had to resolve - to become a political subject organization and to choose its leader - was nullifying me. Besides, it doesn't mean that you become a ruler and stress your surroundings.

"Things have changed. During the Lords' Conference, the other side treated me as a representative of the" earthlings ". But now it's complicated, and even the governing mechanism on the" Earthlings "side has two things: the" Alliance of Free Cities Eastal "and the" Holy Empire Westlande ". Especially Westlande, which includes not only the" Earthlings, "but also the" Adventurers. "

……

"The Round Table Meeting does not include the" Earthlings ". - I said at the first meeting I launched the Round Table Conference, 'Let's admit I have to live with you,' and I never breathed into the feelings of the 'Landlords' in the city of Akiba, nor did I think we had to create an organization together. This is not the place to put the city of Akiba together in a form that does not include the" Earthlings. "

"Oh well."

That is exactly the problem we are now facing.

The Roundtable Conference is already at its limit.

In the first place, the Roundtable Conference was an organization for the "Adventurers" around Akiba to rise up again, confused by the "catastrophe". That's all an organization is, so it doesn't qualify to rule "Akiba, a city of 50,000 people, including the" earthlings. "Still, it is only because one party, the" Earthlings ", has not spoken out of dissatisfaction so far, and because each guild has self-handled problems that can be solved inside the guild, that the problem of" no proper governing organization exists "if a problem arises on a scale that one guild cannot handle alone.

Right now, that's all that's come to light.

"Mr. Ains, so last but not least, is right. Roundtable meeting. Then you told us no more."

"So you're joining the Akiba ruling house or something?

"It's..."

Siloe gets stuck in words.

No more Roundtable meetings. I thought so much that in the last two days I didn't like the fact that we can't be a reluctant organization that doesn't have the compulsion to be an autonomous organization, rather than a volunteer, that we only think about ourselves.

But there is no answer as to whether or not it should be reorganized into the "Akiba ruling house". There is no objective (rarely) that the problem will be solved if we join the Akiba ruling government.

"I don't think I can do that route either, do I? Seems like Eins said a lot at the meeting, but it's a question of thinking about getting a title. If I get paid, I'll be strapped. It's not right to call in bigger trouble to solve small problems."

"Yeah...... Nevertheless, there are other options in this situation"

Troubled, Siloe tried to speak directly.

That's why it's also certain that there are no other people besides Ains who have expressed their vision. For Siloe, who has caused the problem to be twisted so far by the behavior of leaving her choice behind, there is resistance to not choosing.

If you stay still, you feel like things are going to get worse. I have to run. but the surroundings are dark and I don't know the direction.

That is the sight of Siloe today.

Now that the necessary conditions have not even been finalized, there is no operation that can be drawn up in Siloe.

This one, which wielded a siloe with scattered torrents, didn't seem to give the siloe a break yet.

Minori glanced over at Knock and offered him a single letter with a nervous look as to whether he was guessing the situation.

"Excuse me, Mr. Siloe. You have a customer. I left you an invitation letter or something."

It was an invitation letter from Eince, the other party that Siloe and her direct successor were now discussing, who wanted to meet personally.

◆ Chapter3.07

It was a long time since the last time that Rainesia visited [D.D.] again. One of the reasons was because we had heard that [D.D.D.] was very busy with the administrative processing for dissolution, and also because Rainesia herself was completely exhausted by repeated unilateral notices.

I wanted to visit "D.D.D." because I wanted to talk to my friend (who told me) about the fact that the engagement story was going on.

But while the opportunity was hard to come by, the envoy of the "Holy Duchy of Westlande" visited, and the story of the engagement became widely known throughout Akiba. I wanted to at least explain it out of my own mouth, but Reese might think I'm a terrible traitor.

Rainesia felt like she had swallowed a stone and still visited the new guild house she was informed of.

The metal plate on the plaque side is inscribed "D3 Hub" (Deathly Hub). In matte dark blue steel, engraved with gold letters. That was, somehow, a shade that reminded me of Krusty's armor.

The first new base I visited is an atmospheric building I've never seen before. The building of the abandoned building, rebuilt with cosmetic bricks, was "Dazheng Modern," if you ask the Akatsuki who accompanied it, but it seemed like a functional, new designed building to Rainesia. Nevertheless, it does not mean that everything was fortress-style made of iron, as in some "Adventurers" establishments, and the white lacquered and oil-polished walnut floors seem to be clean and then an easy base to spend in the calm Leinesian eyes.

I'm sorry about the other day.

"This way, all of a sudden interrupt"

Reese, who was opening a box of cakes in front of Rainesia, waving and denying, laughed small. He is still wearing a round table uniform today. Inside the room are four quiet shortcut women, Sanzo Takayama and Rainesia, and Akatsuki.

The room with ivory walls was large. Will there be about thirty meters of square? With the Raynesians is an indoor deck built in loft style, from which you can look downstairs like a work room.

Multiple wooden tables were huger than for dining, and there were many elaborate maps spread out there. This sloppy hall, which does not have a garden, seems to be an operational command post that combines the Knights of Defense stuffing and the "cartographer" library if you say so with the knowledge of Rainesia.

On the other hand, the middle and second floors overlooking the working room are enclosed by railings with circular low tables and sofas. It's made like a talking room that plugs into an acrylic carpet through a large, longitudinal window.

The operating room, which looks downstairs, was slightly cluttered but no sign of people. Shortly after I moved, I got the impression that I wasn't organized enough yet.

Four women gather in this vast space.

Sansa Takayama, who serves tea utensils in a familiar manner, takes snacks such as danish and jam out of her magic bag (magic bag) at a constant pace and arranges them side by side.

"Right."

Reese and Rainesia exchanged an awkward apology, staring at each other, reluctantly, trying to cut them out of either.

"I'm really sorry about our Gilmouth"

"I'm sorry"

Leese and Sanzo Takayama took the lead and bowed their heads in shape.

"Milord should be here if he was meant to be. He seems to be involved in an accident and eating a stop on the Eured continent. We have been contacted that you are restricted from traveling due to a special bad status"

"Really..."

The members here are unaware of the conversation between Karasin and Salaria, mother of Rainesia. So I don't even think that Krusty hurt Rainesia in a way, and if she told me that, she'd be surprised and shake her neck left or right.

On the other hand, however, it is also known to the Adventurer that the guardian knight is the so-called guardian. All the more so with the deeply involved Reese.

Regardless of what happens to the future of Rainesia, Rainesia has the right to consult its guardian, who is obliged to consult. In that sense, just because Krusty isn't here, it's Krusty's fault. The rationale can also be seen in the modern Earthlings, Liese and Alpine.

"No, it is mine. I apologize for taking the liberty of spreading the word before I talk to you."

On the other hand, the Rainesian side also felt guilty.

It was supposed to be in the form of a proper consultation and an announcement all of a sudden in the city where we should go along with the process. Speaking in the aristocratic society, this is a very disrespectful way of doing things and the untimely end of the Saigon family, which has set up a messenger. Then there is, but it is difficult to pursue that nonending also when it is reopened by Malvez, "it is my nonending taken from a merchant to a nobleman". In the first place, Rainesia, who will live under the protection of the Saigon family if she marries, is also difficult to pursue to her marital destination given her future. By nature, guardians are agents in such cases, that is to say, in pursuit of the mistakes of the other person and in discussing the marital conditions that are difficult for Rainesia to pursue.

"I can't talk to you."

"Yes......"

"I think you should have some tea"

It was Akatsuki who saved us all the trouble trying to do something about each other's awkward atmosphere. My paced she holds it like a small animal when she pours it out of the teapot at some point by swallowing my hot water.

Let's do that, with an ambiguous grin that didn't say no to anyone, Reese and Rainesia often escaped reality to the hot air in front of them.

"Are you getting married?

After not a short silence, Reese asked.

Perhaps that's a question that I thought would be asked.

"Yes...... The…. I heard that it's early for the Adventurers, but not for the Earthlings, but rather from a standpoint, it's too late."

Much smoother than I thought Leinesia could have responded.

If that's what you ask, here's the answer. I wasn't thinking that way, but still that was the answer as if it had been planned.

Naturally, Raynesia has never been married. That's why I don't know about marriage. I've never visited the Saigon family, and if you say so, I've never been west of the Ancient Court of Eternal Ice. Of course I don't even know what kind of place Westlande actually is. I don't know the voice or face of a spouse named Touri.

I don't want to talk about things I don't know.

Because I don't want to lie to my friend (Liese).

So I was able to answer less often, and if I inherited what was left, I got back to you. That was all.

"Really?"

I wanted to say something to Reese, who manifested sinking pain. Rainesia searched for words in herself. I could offer Reese something that wasn't a lie, searching within me, choosing, dividing it more... In that act like imprisonment, Rainesia was disappointed that she was much more empty and tenacious than she thought.

"The..."

Still, when I gathered the remaining wreckage, I managed to stare at Liese to tell him.

"- Because the Duke's daughter has been raised for it."

I think I was able to tell them properly, although I started whispering.

Strangely enough, it was Sanzo Takayama who deposited himself on the couch with a deep sigh as soon as he heard the words. When she sees Rainesia with a painful look, she shakes her neck left and right and drops her gaze.

"Are you breaking up your family (guild)?

Rainesia felt somewhat guilty about the way it was going and asked the question she had always cared about. Reese and Sanzo Takayama nod when they exchanged their gazes. Yeah, that affirmation was the reply.

"It doesn't mean Milord's instructions were given. One way or another, it's our convenience."

Reese started talking to Pompous.

That was more of a tone that confirms something by making it into words than by looking for words, like Rainesia.

"It was originally impossible to operate [D.D.D.] in this world, that is." D.D. "(My Guild) is the largest battle-based guild on Yamato servers. Automatic troop formation (matching) functionality for those who want to enjoy 24-man combat (full raid) is web-serviced on external servers.... hard for Princess Rainesia to understand, right? Erm."

Sanzo Takayama sends out a help boat with a calm voice to Reese, who waves his index finger and ponders the explanation.

"It was like there was a hundred person civilian organization to support the operation. But the catastrophe kept me out of touch."

"It's like that. We don't have enough strength right now to cut up such a massive guild."

I felt like I could tell that, too, if I thought rationally.

"D.D.D." is a giant guild of over a thousand and five hundred people in total. The Knights of that size are nowhere near the Free Cities Alliance Eastal. Besides, if it is inherently a larger organization, and the "catastrophe" has resulted in the loss of civilians who grasp internal affairs, how much of that confusion is there?

Raynesia saw a lease the same age as herself.

My chest hurt so badly in her rinsed expression, an "adventurer" who could carry on with it, to a talented woman who cut up such a huge organization.

"Really...... But that's not so bad, is it?

"Yes. I was watching Master Shiloe in the" Sleep Case of Chang Moth "and noticed it. What I support now is the Extreme. But that's fine. I knew I had to be polite to the best of my ability."

Raynesia smiled ignoring her chest pain as that Reese gave her a blameful look. As she says, I'm sure it's not a bad thing.

"So it's a hub? Is that a snake?

Akatsuki, sitting next to me, has not been pinned yet, but this is one of the challenges of a woman named Reese.

"It's not a snake. HUB (hub) means center. - [D.D.D.] dissolves itself, but does not shrink in size. Instead, a lot of guilds are born out of D.D.D. The Battle Regiment will also be dismantled and divided into battalion sizes, aiming for independent profitability."

Countless wooden billboards run through the walls of the ops room where Reese glances.

If you look at them, they were all family names.

"With so many more guild masters, our own troubles will be a system we see for ourselves. Originally, [D.D.D.] was also in the production sector because it was aiming to be self-sufficient. Each department will become independent and collaborative. I'm anxious, but we're all motivated. You may be disappointed if Milord sees it, but this is the answer we gave."

It was a creation that brought a strange exhilaration.

"D.D.D." may shatter, but it's not like he's going to die.

On the contrary, it is said that each of the shards shines to create a new constellation.

Reese's glittering eyes were filled with the power of will.

It's the color of the challenge of trying to jump into that storm even though you don't know how the future will fall.

Rainesia knows the color.

Just like the young merchant the lord of Tukba made me hold the letter.

Or a dwarf who has traveled long enough to learn to blacksmith, and a chopped elf with one ear who arrived in search of a song. In other words, it's that burning color of anticipation and pride, just like those who put their lives in the future.

"" D.D.D. "will be the Alliance Union. Broader acceptance of the people of the" earth "to our members, in a stronger place, tailored to today's Akiba."

Reese's declaration struck Rainesia hard in the chest.

Rainesia opened her mouth in an attempt to bless her, bewildered without a voice. He pressed his chest, opened his mouth, and looked down at his own knee, seeking salvation as troubled.

"What's up?

"Well, I was surprised. Why are you surprised..."

Reynesia, desperately returning just that to Sanzo Takayama's comforting and soft voice inquiry, grinned firmly and firmly to avoid drowning in stormy impulses blowing in her own chest and not worrying her friends.

But I knew for myself that the laugh was a pitiful half laugh, not that of a little lady.

Akatsuki, who somehow peered in from the side, gripped the trembling bush.

"Milord said in a communication. 'If you don't regret being stolen, it wasn't your own from the beginning,' she said. Apparently Milord met his enemies on that continent (server) and was robbed of something... It doesn't seem to return until we fight it and destroy it."

Turning to Liese, who had closed his mouth to the state of Rainesia, Sanzo Takayama gave a careful explanation in a slow tone.

"Is it a terrible battle? Master Crusty is being tried, isn't he?"

That was the news of Krusty, who was supposed to continue to fight like a god on the continent. Survival and location were heard. The Guardian Knight of Rainesia apparently has had days of struggle in Eured as well.

That's what I tried to assume, Rainesia, but that wasn't half as successful. Ironic, I felt the monster glasses whispered the words in my ear, gently gleaming only at its faint eyes. That may be the word Krusty spoke about Krusty himself, but it didn't seem that way to Rainesia.

It sounded like words directed at Rainesia.

The words of understanding and consent squeezed out to deceive it were blocked by Sanzo Takayama's light neck pretense of denial.

"No, it's outrageous. Others said, 'I could finally admit to having fun. I will throw away the house of the earth, so thank you for the house of Akiba', he also said. It's a round throw."

"Hideous."

Akatsuki told me about the replacement of Rainesia, which is taken for a moment.

I don't know what you're talking about in the first half, but it sounds like you're pushing Akiba against the Reese and focusing on a fun battle on the continent. If I was confused and asked for an answer, Reese snorted.

"Yeah, I'm really sorry"

"There are no words but trouble. It hasn't changed a bit about swinging around for a long time...... But it must have been good. I avoid detailed explanations because I'm talking about the world of the Adventurer, but Milord is also a troublesome birth. Because you throw it away. I hear you can now tell the difference between what's important. It took a long time, though."

I could see that the impulse that was blowing on Rainesia's chest would quiet like she had stopped breathing. That's not understanding yet, it's just a hunch of understanding. The feeling that if I really understood what I was told would be a big deal shook my body.

After a moment of blankness that stuffed his breath, the anxiety to poke and move his chest turned into a burning heat that remained its intensity.

It's shame, humiliation and vision.

Rainesia desperately restrained herself so as not to scream, but it was not until she decided to board the meeting in the "Ancient Court of Eternal Ice" that she had such intense thoughts. Rainesia desperately twisted the hard, intense emotions that flamed her chest, unlike the blue of that time, and the loneliness and determination that kept her surroundings far away.

- I knew it.

- I knew about this one, and I gave him a message.

- No matter how far away it is, that monster took me.

- Take a peek into my heart and say what I don't know.

In a discerning shame, it was pointed out that it is the Greed of Rainesia.

Rainesia was stupid, and I never even realized that I had such greedy thoughts because I had never had a sole before.

"Stolen and regrettable."

The brunette girl made up for what Raynesia was still speechless.

That's right.

Stolen and regrettable.

Raynesia seems to have liked this Akiba.

You love your days in Akiba and your friends who spend time with Rainesia like this in Akiba.

And more than that, although Rainesia herself had no idea, Rainesia loved the work that Rainesia herself was doing in the "Water Maple Hall".

I pull the hopeful (how) hand, push my back, and when it works, I feel proud, and if it doesn't work, I feel like I failed.

In that office, I liked to meet different people, listen to the stories of their lives, and support them.

"Oh......"

Rainesia heard a sigh, a crying sound leaking out of her mouth. I felt like I wanted to disappear as I was beaten by my stupidity.

I felt sorry for myself that if I didn't get everything right, I would end up like a doll fulfilling my surrounding hopes, so I couldn't even realize how easy I felt.

I was ashamed as a flame came out of my face.

And at the same time, I regretted it so that my chest could burn.

Spent a long time in Akiba. Every part of that time has a glorious smile and a proud expression of determination. Countless "earthlings". Countless "Adventurers". Human, Elf, Dwarf, Cat People, Wolf People, Fox People. All people. Brave men who bring their faces arrogantly and push straight into their own future! Rainesia's role is to wave to them and send ales. Writing letters to help. Introducing friends who can hold hands. That only made Rainesia her own little pride, apparently.

"Sorry......"

Not even knowing what the apology was for, Raynesia nagged and spit it out.

I thought it was my job, complaining so much.

I even remember dizziness due to its increase and slowness.

You lied to me about wanting to be scattered, not a big job, really clueless and gobbled up, but I really loved this job, and I was even proud of it. I can't believe I understood that. What's that supposed to mean?

"... sorry. I have something I regret."

For the first time in her life, Rainesia confessed with tears of remorse.

I thought it was mine.

That's why it's intolerable and so hard to be deprived of it.
