"- Bye."

What Serra, with her hand in her nose, took out was a small demonic stone riding in her palm.

A highly formatted shop that handles jewellery in the aristocratic district of Wangdu. There are such beautiful cuts that it's not strange to be in line at those stores, for example, and such signs that Ein instinctively feels "that's amazing".

And Selah threw it into Ain, and gave it to him, so that he could deal with the cheap things that were never seen before.

"What is it all of a sudden"

Although Ain't never been able to keep up with my understanding.

Phew.

When I noticed, Serra's figure was disappearing from my sight, and I saw signs of it from behind.

Not even killing, but nervousness like being poked at a sword. It was a speed that would have turned quickly if it had been normal, and now I was more confident than usual that I had inhaled the power of Verguk.

But it was.

Ein couldn't move as much as I thought he would, and he made it easy on the feeling of a sickle stuck in his back.

"You can even handle this amount of speed. Your lord used to say that you were sick of fighting this nonsense. You know what I mean? That my body hasn't healed yet."

"Well... I'm aware of that."

"Therefore I give it to you Lord. As a token of my gratitude for listening to me."

"This demon stone, is it?

"That's not a magic trick. It will work well for the Lord's body today with expensive magic tools that Ishtal technology cannot yet make."

So use it to heal your body.

"If you're going to say what you said earlier, it's not going to be about healing your body."

Then Serra turned her heel back.

I don't see any gaps in the hindsight where the girl just seems to be walking slowly.

Ain notices a cold sweat communicating his neck muscles. I laugh bitterly at what I was nervous about besides my thoughts, and I leak a small sigh.

"Well, if that's what you want."

"Do I look like I'm joking right now?

"I didn't think it was reckless. Hence..."

Tong, Serra's toe turned up the sound and her leg stopped.

"If you haven't changed your mind, you should come here tomorrow night."

This is a chance. It's the last chance I get.

Eyes open and hazy Ain makes a strong fist grip.

Later I dropped off Serra, who walked away without saying anything, and after a little while I left the room.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

When I went outside, Dill said, "Oh?" I doubted my own eyes.

He didn't know that time had stopped and he thought it was because of the phenomenon he felt something had happened, and he didn't do anything to ask Ain strongly.

Of course, there's nothing unrealistic about time stopping.

It's been a little while since I got back to the airship.

At dinner, everyone gathered in the large hall on board, and that was already a busy time.

"Nyaaaaaaaaaa!?

Take your seats and dong your desk! and Katima slapped him with a meatball opened her mouth with momentum.

"This is delicious!?

I said something noisy, but this is the content.

Whether the ingredients picked around the land were in your mouth, it looks strangely emotional, playful and even daunting.

"Ka, Master Katima... let's sit down..."

"Don't stop! Don't Chris think this is delicious!?

"I think it's delicious! But, and this is not the story!

"Ha... I don't like that idea. The kid who did the right thing praises it, it's natural. Why can't I grow up with this? Praise the cook by praising the ingredients because they were delicious. I suppose it's a natural behavior, huh?

By the way, by way of example, Chris is not particularly mouthy.

She gets stuck "ugh" in Katima's words.

But she was also the Knights Commander of Kingsguard for once.

Immediately regain calm and say the right words for yourself.

"Kohon - Master Katima is a former royal family, and now she is the next Princess of the Grand Duke. You don't have to honor the cook out loud, you just have to call him nearby."

I thought it was a simple response.

"Well, I'll ask you the other way."

Not at all lost, Katima says.

Smile a little badly and say it.

"When Ein praises me, I exaggerate a little." Exactly! They say, "That's right," in a calm voice. Which one of you is happier?

"Gu..................!

That's what I'm talking about.

When I heard that, Chris got stuck again.

If you choose one or the other, it's obviously the former. But that doesn't mean the latter isn't happy.

Whatever the former, I'm talking about having enough joy to wield momentum with a tail.

Well, everyone who was watching that in a nearby seat was sure.

He said it was no longer Chris' defeat.

In contrast to the wasting cat showing his proud face, Chris, who regrettably pointed his lips at him, didn't stop laughing.

Seeing Dill with a slightly frightened head, Ain makes me exhort a little sorry.

"Is that okay?

I asked Silvard, who sat down next to me.

"... it doesn't taste bad. Ain't Ain't that what you think?

He does not attempt to answer clearly, but turns to his grandson and narrows his eyes.

Oh, this is the one you don't want to touch.

"I think," Ein guessed, returning only briefly and looking around.

"Mr. Krone, there's something I'd like to go with you when you get back to King's Capital. Would you come with me if I could?

"Yes, Olivia would be happy to go anywhere."

When you feel soothed in the exchange between the two beautiful women.

"Isn't this... Lord Martha, the example reputation?

"That's Marco, isn't it? In fact, the day before yesterday, I was lucky enough to purchase it..."

"Great item. That's the kind of vessel Dwarf makes..."

Two different people to say they're just servants......

One or lower back length was elegant to the proud voice of Ishtarika's prized first-class service and the calm of the Swallow Tail Clothes daemon honored with an admired voice.

Just a little bit today, I think it's busier than usual at the castle.

It's just a little.

I woke up. I didn't dare to care for Ain, it's a coincidence if you say so.

Natural, warm routine.

Ain't got his mouth up naturally, and Silverado sitting next to him seems in a good mood.

"Good stuff, family stuff."

Especially Ain was a young day, and he snorted hard.

Enjoy every warm space while carrying the dish to your mouth with a spoon in one hand.

That's why Silvard prefaced.

"When I heard that your Lord had fallen, I thought of the rest that you should not think about"

Then look at Ain and say.

"The rest is the king. Even so, I forgot about Ishtalika and thought only about Ain. Will I wake up well to see what happened, because of the rest, because the rest gave me permission -"

".................. sorry"

"Fine. I'm not reprimanding you now."

Ha, now Silvado laughs in a reassuring way.

"I knew very well that if a parent, the child would be the same again"

"What do you mean, kids are the same again?

"It's about Lyle. Ironically, I can tell you that I thought the rest the same thing as that stupid son. I abandoned my country and took the rest of my family."

"My grandfather...! No! And even Master Lyle...

"Ha ha! What are you panicking about! Don't worry about it."

Ain shut his mouth for a long time.

I thought I should tell you what I just heard from Serra today, but when I tell her, what do I do?

How did you know, who asked you, and I have no objection to telling you about Serra, but whether Silvard believes it or not is a different matter.

This is not a matter of trust between Ain and Silvado.

This is simply because, as things stand, it is about eyebrow spitting and the story lacks credibility. So from what I've told you, it doesn't make a lot of sense, and on the contrary, it might make Silvard take unwanted care of you.

(Excuse me, Grandpa)

Forgive the iniquity you know but do not teach.

Ain had a heartache in her heart.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

At night, before going to bed, Ain stretched his spine out in front of his desk.

What I have on my desk are books that I write every day these days. Recently, I remember my childhood as I wrote my memoirs, and I was in the process of writing them one by one.

"Ok,"

Let's get some rest today.

Take a glimpse of the example magic prop I had placed in the corner of my desk and gently take it.

…………

I haven't heard how to use it, but I thought it would work if I was conscious.

It heals Ain's body when it acts, it's just a simple story.

By now, you've been feeling nervous because they're the other guy? Or is it because you think you can't win in your heart and you're trying to avoid battles?

No, you're not.

In fact, the exaltation coexisted.

This is a joy for getting a hand in fulfilling my grandfather's wishes, not the joy of being able to fight the strong.

I closed my eyes and imagined it was not a fight for me.

In front of a dragon man named Serra, I thought about how I should behave and behave in the thousands or tens of thousands. But I can't think of the best hand at all, and the sigh just leaks no matter how many times I repeat it.

I'll try to remember the mighty enemies I've fought to this day, but the powerful unlike any of them.

I just get a little scared that I can't find any winning muscle.

"- That?"

Second, I noticed signs of people walking outside.

Looks like we're on our way to deck.

Ain then takes a seat with the magic prop in his pocket, not least as he tries to feather his coat.

We followed the signs of departure.

The time is already late at night and most of the people on board have fallen asleep.

That said, there are guarded Kingsguard knights standing at equal intervals.

"Your Highness."

And the knight spoke to Ain.

"What's going on?

"... that's it"

The knight looked at the staircase that leads to the deck in an unspeakable manner.

Then Ain asks the knight wondering what was wrong with him, guessing at the signs of going towards him.

"Alone on deck?

"Yes, I said we would make a statement..."

"They said no."

"Yes... it was calm, but there was an unspeakable hegemony with or without us"

Worried Ain thanked the knight and advanced his legs.

He walked quietly to the deck, taking great care not to be noticed by the Lord of Signs.

The night breeze is too cool and slightly cold.

My hair flutters and the scent of grasshoppers tickles my nostrils.

The full night sky welcomed Ain.

(That's -)

Standing on the edge of the deck, I noticed a man.

Ein, who has always been with him, feels a complex emotion as he stands with the usual majesty.

Something lonely, repentant.

The way he was driven by repentance, he was looking up at a dungeon of divine concealment without power.

"............... you stupid son of a fool"

His, Silvado's voice was a little trembling.

Behaving as a king until now, I still have one father. My oldest son, a flesh parent, took to a place where he disappeared, and couldn't have been sentimental.

Ruthlessly, the voice dissolves quickly in the wind and reaches no one but Ain.

Eventually Silvard's knee fell weakly on the floor, and he rubbed his forehead against the railing.

"Why... ugh! Why... why... why did you disappear from the source of...?! - - Lyle!"

Second, Ain put his hand on his chest and held it tight.

I was tightened to my heart by a whimpering voice and desperately endured that I was about to cry to myself.

The first person I've ever heard of by Silvado.

I can't put it into words. How do I describe this emotion?

Never before has my grandfather shown such weakness.

(Same as before)

Never lose. It doesn't change anything.

Just like all previous battles, we must definitely win. Earlier, I had to win whatever I wanted, no matter how many times I thought about it, even if I didn't feel like I could win.

(Just like Grandpa saved me, it's my turn to save Grandpa)

Ain't when he takes out the demonic props he had...

Strong, clutched without hesitation.

The vitality that springs up in your body is different than usual.

I don't feel fortified about anything, and now that I've sucked Verguk's demon stone, did I just say it's my original power?

I don't think it's because I've regained my vitality...

But now I felt like I could come up with a winning muscle.

I had a strong will for a fierce heart.

Then Ain quietly returns to the ship from the deck.

"Your Majesty..."

"It's okay, but don't go to the deck, but I need an escort as close as I can... sorry. I have a feeling you're saying some pretty troublesome things..."

But.

I mocked myself at the excused reply.

"No, I understand."

The Kingsguard knight nodded with a calm expression.

I guess he also understands the causes and consequences of Silvado and the land.

The two split up intact, and Ain goes back to his room.

When I open the door and go inside, I head to the bed.

I put my thoughts on the battle to come, illuminated by the stars plugging in from outside the window.
