The next day.

I just moved into the spiritual village and talked to Mr. Al....

"Hmm? Red tears?... Oops!

Speaking of which, you get a reaction like that.

No, uh....

Whatever I say, Mr. Al, have you forgotten?

Both my daughters are stunned.

Mother, that's not true.

"The nervous solas seem stupid to be angry with me."

"I can't help it. My concubine has been busy lately, such as going to Kriosia.I can't remember the trivial things. "

"My mother is old, too."

"Hmm...."

Al's eyes glowed with killers.

Looking at that, Luna realized that she had lost her voice and said that she had lost it.

"Daughter, come here for a minute.Let's enjoy mom and daughter's time for the first time in a while. "

"Eh, no, um..."

"I'll give you plenty of cuteness.I won't let you go even if you don't want to. "

"Ah, sister!Help..... "

"... come on, Rain.My mom says she's fine, so let's go to the chief next. "

So, is that okay?

It's okay.

"Oh yeah... good luck, Luna"

"Terrible!?

"Now, come here.Just because the training ground is empty.So let's enjoy our mother and daughter's time. "

"Hi... hiyaaaaaa!?

Luna's screams echoed in the middle of nowhere.

――――――――――

"Yes, crimson tears...?

I talked to the chief, but he returned such a dumb reaction.

"What is that?

"Huh? No... you know, you came to town about England, right?That's the item I borrowed to seal her. "

Hmm?

The chief takes the technique of thinking and silences for a while.

"Oops, I remember.You certainly lent me a crimson tear. "

It seems that I finally remembered, and the long hits my palm.

"I see, you did lend it to me.I totally forgot because it's an irrelevant item. "

"Totally... is that all right?

"For our spirits, it's only worth it."

"You had to go through a lot of procedures to get it out?

"It's an item that I manage in the village.Regardless of rarity, certain procedures are necessary. "

"Hah...."

I wonder, what's the appropriateness of this?

After all, I was prepared to be told that humans were not trustworthy, but I was unappreciative.

Legendary items may be worth as much to them as those stones.

"It has a red tear and a big name, but after all, it's just ore.It's not worth protecting with all your might. "

It's really appropriate... and I'm stunned.

Is that okay, Spirit Clan?

"Um... anyway, despite your help, I'm sorry for the delay in returning it so far.I apologize. "

"I don't mind. Our spiritual tribe is not so narrow in vessels as to have such bad feelings."

"It would be helpful if you could say so."

So?

Huh?

"Isn't that all you're talking about?

That's the length of the Spirit Clan.

I wonder if this idea is all foreseeable.

I understand you're asking me kindly, but....

Still, I need crimson tears.

I'll keep my head down.

"Bright red tears please."

"Please."

Sola, who was coming with me, lowered her head.

"Hmm? The crimson tears are of no great value to our Spirit Clan... that's why they're not a substitute for giving us a whisper.Especially if you're dealing with humans.Well, I'm not a stranger, so I'll ask you about the situation. "

"Thank you very much. Actually...."

I explained the situation, thanking him for the opportunity to explain.

"Hmm, your weapon...."

"I understand that everything is selfish and convenient.But there's nothing else to rely on. "

"Why do you want power?

The captain stared at us with sharp eyes.

You feel the pressure and your back trembles.

What should I say?

For the world, for people?

Or to fight the demons, all natural enemies?

Though I think about some reasons, it doesn't hold.

In the first place....

We will not fight for good or justice or anything like that.

I've always done what I wanted to do.

So let's keep it simple and straightforward.

"To make my wish come true."

"Hmm... why don't you tell me your name?You're a human being.What do you want?

"Protecting a life where you can laugh all the time with your loved ones."

I've been thinking about it over and over....

There's nothing else I want.

I can't say such a big deal to save the world.

I'm not a big deal, and there's only so much I can do.

We can only help as far as we can reach.

But...

If there are people in trouble within reach.

Suppose your people are crying.

I want to help you with anything.

That's why we need strength.

Hmm.

For a while.

Somewhat

Well, let's pass.

The captain relaxed his shoulders and said so with a small voice.

"Well then...."

"I'll give you a crimson tear.Feel free to use it. "

"Thank you!

I bowed my head deeply and said thank you loudly.
