"Ah..."

When I opened my eyes, I saw the ceiling in the inn room.

I... Chiffon Knox wakes up and looks around the room.

Milfielle and Chocolate were sleeping in bed.

It doesn't look particularly strange, it seems like she's just sleeping normally.

"Uh, I..."

Why are you here?

Think...... and I immediately remembered.

"Oh well... me, I did something to betray you, and so I beat you Rain..."

Think back to what you did,

"Ohhhhhh......!?

I held my head.

"Me, my God... I'm so embarrassed because it's hard, I run away to the easier ones... Ugh. Even you, Rayne, must be going through hard things, and yet I... oh well, who really is I..."

Ha, ha, and a deep sigh spilled.

I'm disappointed in myself.

"I... don't deserve to be a brave man."

Pick an easy path and don't try to fight forward...... no too much.

Really embarrassing.

I fought you, Rayne, and now that I know the strength of it, I know.

Whatever it is, it is very important to have the strength to keep walking forward.

I forgot about that.

I don't deserve to be named brave to me like that...

"What... you shouldn't give a short circuit answer here and quit like that. Report everything, and Argus will decide about me. If you can't give it back because you don't qualify here, that's too irresponsible, and you're just running away. Now we have to work hard to stay me."

I made a mistake. It's me...

But it's not all over.

I can walk back again.

Yes, because you taught me, Rayne.

――――――――――

The fact that Chiffon woke up meant they went to the inn where they were staying.

When you open the door and enter the room,

"Sorry!!!

"Sorry -"

"Sorry."

Chiffon, Millefeuille and Chocolate lined up beside each other and suddenly they bowed their heads.

All of a sudden, I'm going to eat it.

"Er...?

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Rain... I have a good memory. I mean, I was almost acting on my own volition... and I wasn't being manipulated."

"Does that mean you've even fought me?

"... Yes"

I really don't seem to be shy anymore...... and while I looked embarrassed, Chiffon got sick of it.

"I, you've caused so much trouble...... I'm so sorry!

Chiffon has bowed his head over and over again.

One of these days, it's going to get to the ground.

"Oh, no... because I don't care"

"But..."

"Because I really don't care. I know how Chiffon feels."

I was trapped in a dream at first, too.

I might not have been able to wake up without the help of Illis.

Given that, I can't be blaming Chiffon.

"Thanks... Rayne, you're so sweet"

It's not like that.

"Yeah, I think it's sweet. I guess that's your virtue, Rayne."

"Uh..."

"Whoa, he's lit up."

"Heh, that's adorable."

"The two of you reflect more"

"" Excuse me ""

"Ha ha..."

There was something about Illis, and he was tingling...

Looking at the three friendly people, it only soothed a little.

"By the way... can you tell me what happened since then? Um... it's embarrassing, but I just woke up a while ago, so I don't know what's going on..."

"... oh, fine"

What is the situation now?

Explaining that is, come on, it's weird.

"Actually..."

Mr. Alpha responded by persuading me to unbind him.

That although the fog is still there, it will clear up in a day.

And...... that Illis was hurt.

Serious injuries, heading to the North Continent to find a cure.

Explain them.

"I can't believe that's happening..."

Chiffon's face is dark.

Milfielle and Chocolate also looked very difficult.

I think I feel responsible for each of them.

Never mind...... can't you say that?

It's a short relationship, but I know very well that the three of us have a strong sense of responsibility.

"Mr. Rain."

"Yeah?"

"Is there anything we can do?

"It's..."

To be honest, there is.

It's tremendous.

When you go to the North, you still can't wipe the anxiety element.

We have to break up the party, so we're halfway there.

What if we can make it up to the Chiffons by getting them to work together?

Also, if Millefeuil could join us in treating Iris?

I think the burden on Sola and Luna will be a lot less too.

"To be honest, it helps a lot. But the Chiffons are a brave party."

"Yeah, you are. Our mission is to make a journey for the Crusade of the Demon King. That is given the highest priority. For this reason, the repair of the comet's sword is a top priority"

"Then..."

"But!"

Chiffon says in a strong tone.

"Before I was a brave man, I was alone. If someone is in danger... not to mention if I have one end to make that cause... I don't think I should overlook it."

"... Chiffon..."

"Please, let me help you too"

"Let me help you too - 'Cause I think you're responsible."

"Likewise"

Milfielle and Chocolate said the same thing.

"Yeah...... ok"

"Then..."

"I need your help to help Illis"

"" "Of course!

All three of them snorted in a powerful way.
