... a week has passed since then.

The influence left by Illis everywhere was enormous, and the guilds and knights were to be pursued in their response.

Reconstruction of the village of Pagos.

Treatment of injured persons.

Investigation of the absence of a similar seal.

Alliances and Knights work together to respond everywhere.

I mean...

Despite arbitrary actions and double violations in disregard of orders, there was no punishment.

I ignored the order to get insurance when the operation failed.

And arbitrary behavior helped everyone with its own hands, noticing the trap of Illis beforehand.

If I had noticed, that's how the story was complete.

I just did whatever I wanted...

But, as it turns out, I don't blame you, so I let it go.

There's a lot going on, but I don't want to stop being an adventurer.

If Axe and Cell had accused me of everything, maybe this wouldn't have happened...

They didn't say anything and walked away.

That may have been the kindness of the two of us.

But I never exchanged words of farewell...

Reminds me once again that I have been cut off from the two of them.

It's something I was prepared for, but when I had to, I missed you a little.

After the interview, we took part in the post-processing.

Because I thought moving my body would help me not think about anything extra.

I wanted time to put my thoughts together.

So, a week goes by in an instant...

――――――――――

I was coming to the mountain where Illis was sealed.

Except it's not the site of the temple.

I was moving to a beautiful spot.

"Rayne, is this the place?

Canade showed me flowers he picked nearby.

"Oh, enough. Thank God."

"Yeah, it seems so easy."

"Yes, we're done here."

Tania brought me a cross made of wood.

It's so beautiful.

"Thanks Tania too"

"I can always do this for you."

Saying, Tania put up a cross on the ground.

And Canade adds flowers.

"" Holy Breath ""

Sola and Luna cast their magic.

A pale light spreads around the cross.

It is a magic used primarily by clerics and others to bless the subject.

……

Nina kneels in front of the cross, hands together, eyes closed and prays.

Yakan on top of his head...... Tina, too, stood still.

Just like Nina, you must be praying.

……

Following the two of them, I prayed, too.

Canade, Tania, Sola and Luna also continue.

"Phew."

After a while, I gently opened my eyes.

Like me, everyone opens their eyes.

Seeing everyone like that, I spoke softly.

"Thanks, guys. I need you to hang out with me selfishly."

After all the post-processing, the first thing I did...

It was to build the tomb of Illis.

I caused that incident, so naturally, I can't make a grave of Illis.

Rather, they will be told off as demons scattered with fear and destruction.

But... I thought it was too lonely.

So at the very least, I decided to build a grave.

Because I don't know where the Heavenly Nation lived...

I chose this place so I could get a good night's sleep in the sights.

……

Looking at the grave of Illis makes me feel indescribable.

There is no Illis under this.

The truth is, with the ruins...

My chest still hurts when I think about that time.

More, wasn't there another way to do it?

Whatever it is, why don't you keep your hands on it?

I keep thinking about that.

I can't help thinking about it...

Still, regret won't go away.

"Rain."

When I realized, Canade was holding my hand with both hands.

"Rayne did her best."

"Canade......"

"I wasn't on the spot... but I think Rain's feelings had reached Illis. Because... you were laughing at the end, weren't you?

I tell everyone all the time.

"This is how it turned out... but what Rain did isn't in vain. Besides, I didn't do anything bad, do what's best, so there's no other way... Uh-huh?

He got confused as he talked, and Canade leaned over Cotten, and his little neck.

I'm not very good at canades...

Something's getting a little laughable.

"Anyway."

Tania pinched her mouth from the side.

"Rayne has accomplished something no one else can."

"Tania......"

"Tighten your chest. No one else can do that. Well, not everything worked out... but you can't help but regret it forever, can you? That's what that Illis admits? Yeah, I won't admit it. I'm sure you'll say this."

"You beat me, so be more proud, it feels like it!

"Oh, my line!?

Luna exposed me to a line and Tania looked like Gunn.

Sora laughs softly at the two of them.

"A dark face doesn't suit Rayne. As always, I want you to laugh. I think Iris prefers it that way."

"Mmm... me too, don't think so. Guys, I like a smile... huh?

"If you look too shitty, Ilis will piss you off - That's not my type of face, you know."

Nina and Tina have also participated in the conversation.

Everyone cares about me.

He cares.

I'm so happy about that.

I felt my chest warm.

"... right"

Can't you drag it forever?

Regret does not disappear quickly.

I can't forget about Illis right away.

But I'm still alive.

Because, like this, I'm with everyone.

You have to look forward and walk away.

……

One last time, look at the tomb of Illis.

And I tell you in my heart.

There was a lot going on...... after all, I can't hate about Illis.

Instead, he probably thought it was preferable.

Now take your time, I want you to rest.

... Goodbye.
