Be an adventurer and do what the city asks.
Let's all go shopping together.
Relax and talk to the people in the city I haven't seen in a long time.
For a while, such a carefree routine continued.
It's a very serene routine.....
I strongly believe that Horizon is the home.
If I could, I'd like to relax here forever.....
That's not how it works.
At first glance, it may be a peaceful world.
But there are people who leap in the back.....
I don't know when everyday will be a battlefield.
I don't know when the blood of a loved one will flow.
To prevent that from happening.
In order not to repeat the tragedy.
”I... want to be stronger”
――――――――――
Al-san.
"... oh?"
I found Al on the rooftop taking a relaxing sunbath.
Were they swaying in a hammock, sleeping? their eyes were dense.
"I have a favor to ask you..."
Hmm, what is it?
"I mean... don't you have to go back to the city before that?"
Al stayed at the house all the time.
I'm using a spare room and it's no longer an exaggeration to say I'm a new member.
No, that's fine, but....
Even if you have the power to succeed the chief, why don't you go home soon?
"It's okay, it's okay." Even if you're in the city, it's just a boring job... you can leave it to the head. "
"Haa..."
What can I do for you?
Al gets out of the hammock and makes a serious face.
It was about Al-san, who was very sharp.
I'm sure you understand what I'm trying to say.
"Will you practice for me?"
"Hmm, that's how it came to be... but why do you ask for strength?" Raine, you're pretty strong now. "
But it's not enough.
……
"If I had more power... maybe that wouldn't have happened."
The last words I exchanged with Gray.
At the same time, a tomb in the capital of the king comes to my mind.
"I've been told before, but it might be a surprise." I know what I can do alone. "
"Do you really understand that? If you are, you won't come out with words like this?"
“I'm going to understand.”
I don't think I can do anything by myself.
in the first place....
What we have accomplished so far can only be accomplished with everyone present.
It's no big deal if I'm alone.
Still.
“I want to do what I can.”
……
"I can do anything by myself, I don't want to talk up." But if I have more power, I think I'll have more choices at that time. "
Hmmm.
"I don't want to regret it anymore... I want you to do what you can to do what is really best for me at the time." I want to be strong...! "
If you think about it, this may be the first time that you have clearly asked for power from yourself.
I think there's been a lot of things and it's gotten pretty stronger, but.....
But that's the result of putting yourself in a situation.
I want to be strong and I have never acted for it.
But not now.
To expand the possibilities.
To increase choice.
I want to be strong, strong.
"... well, you passed."
Huh?
"It seems that the current lord has a proper readiness and intention." If that's the case, you'll be able to acquire the right strength. "
"Well then..."
"I thought this was going to happen, so I stayed here... um, okay." The strongest of the strongest... the concubine, the most powerful magician in the Spirit Clan, will thoroughly train your master. "
Thank you!
Keep your head down deeply.....
There's just a problem, isn't there?
Is that a problem?
Then, you hide your eyebrows in disturbing words.
"If it's about magic, I can train it with pleasure." But that's it. When it comes to physical matters, concubines are tough. "
"That's... that's right."
Al is an expert in magic.
I can't think of any more magician than her.
However, when it came to melee combat, Al was overloaded.
I wish I had an expert in melee combat, not just Al-san.....
”Hmm... let's try contacting you first”
Is there something you want me to do?
"Um, wait a minute." My concubine is going out, isn't she?
Having said that, Mr. Al went back to his house.
――――――――――
In a few days.
When Al came back, we were all gathered in the living room.
Hmm, it looks like we're all here.
"Mother, what happened all of a sudden?" I've heard from Rain that you're going to practice..... "
“Why are you getting ready to travel?”
Like Sora said, we were getting ready for the trip.
"That's right..."
What's that?
I'm going on a trip!
As it is!
