"Mr. Rain!!!"

While spilling tears, Natalie-san came hugging me.

Nah.

"Mm."

Kanade and Tania look subtle, but I want you to miss them now.

Ms. Natalie was still trembling and she must have been really scared.

Are you okay?

"Yes... thanks to Mr. Rain and the others, I can do something about it"

"I'm injured..."

The area around the knee was heavily torn and wet with blood.

It is not a fatal injury, but if it is left unattended, there may be sequelae.

Mina, please.

Yes.

I can use my heels too, but I'd better leave it to the experts.

I thought so, and I called Mina.

Maybe we should have thought about it a little bit more.

Natalie immediately noticed Mina with a steep expression.

"You're from the ex-Brave Party... why are you here?" Are you trying to do something to Mr. Rain again? "

"No, no, that kind of thing..."

Well then, what do you mean? You didn't do anything when the demon tribe attacked the city before, but this time you're going to help me?

……

I'm sure Natalie also loves this horizon.

That's why you hit a tight word against Mina who missed it.

Seeing her rage like that, Mina.....

Sorry about that.

Now this is the best I can do, and I bowed my head deeply.

"I can't help it now." But I want to do something about this... I don't care if I hate it. But will you let me treat you now? "

"... I understand, please."

Looking moved by Mina's words, Natalie's expression softened slightly.

And get Mina's treatment.

Mina recites magic to heal Natalie's wounds.

As expected of a healing expert.

There will be no sequelae and Natalie's treatment will be completed in no time.

What do you think?

"Yes, no problem. Thank you very much."

……

"What's the matter? Round your eyes."

”No... thank you... I wonder when I've been told that since”

I can imagine.....

While traveling with Arios, Mina probably stopped receiving thanks.

Did you do it on your own initiative?

Or is it the influence of the surroundings?

And now, Natalie sends me her gratitude.

Gentle, warm thoughts with the words "Thank you" in mind.

Apparently, she could feel it firmly, and Mina was about to cry.

"I... forgot this, this is so commonplace... no. I was looking away from it, and I didn't notice anything... what the hell..."

"It's okay."

I put my hand on Mina's shoulder.

"Mina may have made a lot of mistakes... but that doesn't mean it's all over." There's something going on. "

"... from now on..."

"There is nothing we can do about the past, but the future is not decided." Then why don't you think about the future? "

"... yes, that's right."

Mina wipes her tears with her fingertips.

And then I laughed a little bit.

That smile was so bright.....

It was rude to say this, but it was so beautiful that I didn't think it was Mina.

"...... yaa, Rain again"

"... even though we're here"

"...... Rain-kun, isn't that what you think?"

I feel like something strange is said in the back, but I don't care.

I guess that's not the case right now.....

Natalie-san, do you have any idea how far the city's evacuated?

"I'm sorry... I just happened to be out, so I don't know the information that would have gathered in the guild..."

"I see..."

It may be a bad situation.

Like Natalie, there were other people who were attacked by monsters and demons somewhere.

“Chiffon, Ellis, what do you think we need to do to evacuate and escort the city?”

Yeah, I agree with Rain-kun.

"The damage is going to be bigger than I thought." I don't have a problem either. ”

"Alright. Well then..."

Who do you want me to ask?

When I thought about it, Chocolat and Millefeuille raised their hands.

"Oh, if that's the case, we'll go."

"Chocolate is defensive, I'm good at healing."

Sure is.

The two of you can have peace of mind.

Okay, then please.

Oooh!

I'll do my best ~

Break up with them and act differently.

At that time, I also asked Natalie to escort me to the guild.

"Now Natalie-san feels safe..."

The chaos in the city hasn't subsided yet.

It was rather worse.

There's a flame coming up from the other side.....

And then you hear rage and screaming.

Damn it.

I don't know if it's a Type Zero prison, but what the hell is he thinking of setting this up for?

confusing the city one by one.....

Involving a lot of people.....

I will never forgive you.

"Rain"

When I noticed, Kanade and Tania were just around the corner.

The two of you look at me and nod a little.

Looks like you're telling me to do it.

"... that's right, yeah"

The mastermind who caused this incident must be somewhere.

I'll show him what I see.

Let's do it.

Determined to do so, we rushed out.
