63Here we go. And put your chest up.

The same gentle waist is comfortable.

I can talk to Mr. Sel Azam, and I feel relieved that he offered me some.

You'd be surprised if I told you this, round your eyes, but I think Mr. Selazam is like a whole bunch of yangs.

It's boisterous, calm, warm.

I reluctantly move my gaze to the old gentleman.

Devil Grand Duke Sel Azam.

A subtle title is a serene person who blends into a cozy courtyard behind his back.

Rearm. Reflect on the scent of grass and trees scented in a breeze. One thing at a time is natural and unpretentious.

I wish that demon king and even Mr. Selazam's shards were inclusive.

"How are you?

I don't want to stare at you. Adult reactions make me tickle.... hehe.

"Me, I worked very hard this time. I tried, but... I couldn't."

Take your gaze off and watch the pink roses.

Mr. Selazam never tries to rush ahead of words. They just wait and see what I'm trying to say.

...... yeah. Nothing has changed from the old days.

"I'm not humiliating myself, I'm lamenting powerlessness. Because even if there's nothing I can do, I'm sure I can do everything I can to face it. I never feel bad to be helpless."

There is no sin in not being able to do anything.

If that's a sin, I think it's the arrogance of those who can.

But being helpless and remaining helpless seem similar and completely different.

"I don't think it's the same to be ashamed of being ignorant. But that doesn't make me feel like I can't do anything right now."

Facing the helpless self directly from the front is not spoiling the helpless self.

What I felt strongly about this time. That reflection.

Stand up, correct your posture and turn back to Mr. Selazam.

Gaze directly in front of you and stretch your chest.

Trouble. Trouble. Troubled maiden.

But don't be ashamed.

"If I can be someone tomorrow, a year later, two years later, I want to keep my chest up like this at that time. I want to be who I am when I say," Here I go. "

If there's nothing I can do, I'll increase it one by one.

If you don't know anything, let's learn one by one.

Don't be pessimistic about being helpless.

Don't be ashamed if it's useless.

I always want to remain positive.

That's what I want to be.

Seruazam is quietly accepting my gaze from the front. From behind the soft expression, an unwavering glance is sincerely poured out.

"I don't know what I can do. Maybe you can't do anything.... but I'm not satisfied with myself right now."

Be prepared and take a step forward.

I bowed my head deeply to Mr. Selazam.

"This is who I am. Please continue to give me guidance!

If you want to be taught, Mr. Seruazam is fine.

With the swordsmanship that Ser Azam taught me, I was able to help the leanshades. That's not why I want to tell you, but I want to teach you a lot from Mr. Seruazam.

……

……

Time flows slowly.

No......, I guess.

"Would you like to raise your face?"

When I looked up, Mr. Selazam was soothing his eyeballs.

When you check my face, you nod one loosely and shift your gaze to the pink rose.

A dark pink spray rose was shaking like a wave in the breeze of late spring.

"... Alicia was very clumsy and a straight woman"

Close your eyes and, as you miss the distance, Mr. Seruazam shrugs. Even after the end of my gaze, the flowers are just shaking, but... I think maybe what I'm looking at is an overlapping thing ahead.

I wonder what this serene old gentleman sees.

"The pendant you found was the only one I could give Alicia. I got it from her, but even a fraction of it didn't come true."

Mr. Cell Azam turns around slowly.

I picture in sad, but gentle eyes.

"Alicia lost her life as a substitute for my price, which was just immature."

"... of Mr. Seruazam,... instead?

"It's ironic. Demons and people. All in all, the Demonic Nation has a more resilient flesh and longer life than the human race, but in rare cases in the human race, people are born with vessels of soul that can reach the divine domain as well.... to a realm that can never be reached by the Demons. Alicia was also one of those with such a vessel of soul....... Dear Lefia. Just like you."

... Yes?

Me?... why are you suddenly here to me?

Unexpectedly waved words made me a kyoton for a moment.

"It is by no means a coincidence that I met Master Lefia in the village of Mariel. I kept searching the world of men for the likes of Alicia and Lephia, those with special vessels of soul born rarely in them."

"A special soul vessel...... is it? Sorry, I'm not studying and I'm not sure what you're talking about..."

"The amount of magic a person has is determined by the size of the vessel of his soul. Those who aim for that special vessel of soul. A very powerful enemy is targeting Master Lefia."

... enemies?

Tension runs on disturbing words.

Selazam, who is said to be the head of the Great Four Demons, is so clearly said to be “mighty” … the enemy.

"It seemed to me that Mr. Seruazam's seal was tied up so that he could not draw out his magic.... did you limit the amount of magic you could use to... hide it?

"It's as you guessed. Even a little from the start, I was going to buy some time. Set up a system to counteract the enemy while he is blinding them. I wasn't expecting the seal to be unsealed so soon."

"... sorry. Me."

"No. I think it was necessary. But we should assume that we have already found Mr. Lefia more than the seal is gone."

"... to be found"

I can find it.

... I've been found.

I think they said that somewhere.

Very vague, vague memories, as if they were on the other side of a thin curtain.

... Is that a dream?

I can't remember very well.

I can't remember, but it was such a refreshing, pleasant, kind of a pleasure,... a dream that I felt like I had seen something very scary.

"Finally, I Found You"

... Sure, I think that's what they said.

Is that..., what? Who was it?

Is that..., the enemy?

"We're not quite ready for this one yet, but that one, too, will take a while to get it moving. … not to worry. We will always protect you, Lephia."

Hmmm.... what is it?

I was trying to do my best to do something little by little because I want to help someone at all......

I feel like we're talking a lot after we skip three steps.

First of all, I have something special...

Impossible?

Let's go calmly. Calm down.

"... I don't know, that's a long story. She's just a farmer's daughter, but it's been getting bigger and bigger since we got here. It's a surprise streak. Really."

"I'm so sorry. I seem to be in a bit of a hurry."

"In the meantime, I don't know what will happen next, thank you. Mr. Cell Azam."

"No, welcome. Here you go."

Heaven is high and the sky is clear.

Late spring winds already contain the scent of early summer.

Summer is coming.

Something is changing dramatically, including my own business.

Little by little, I had a feeling they were coming closer.
