In the woods behind the house.

I was allowed to pick some beautiful flowers on the road and draw water into a bucket of trees in the creek.

Since when have you not been there?

I haven't been there since I was called incompetent for over three years...... I'm a terrible pro-faithful.

I hope neither of you is angry.

The road, which I hadn't walked in a while, was a lot rougher than before.

The road I used to go through crying every day.

But I've only lost that kind of energy, and I've stopped walking here.

That's how they drove me into a corner of my head, and even grudging at the two of them in my head......

"Ha..."

I feel sorry for myself when I remember that.

They were both really sweet.

You loved me, and I loved you... no, I still love you.

The two operated a shop, though small.

Only the store could not be sold, and it is still in the same condition as it is in town.

I totally teased you inside...

That day, the two went to Historia to buy it out, as usual, and ended up not coming back as it was.

The last word is, "I'm coming." I'm coming. "

That's all.

That's it.

I can't talk to you again.

Death is sudden all the time.

Is the salvation at least as good as the wreckage returns?

Your face stayed pretty.

"Huh... Long time no see... Mother, Father"

We get to a slightly open place in the woods.

There were two little twisters lined up in front of me.

My parents are sleeping down here.

"Uh... I knew the dirt was terrible... sorry"

Brush Twisted Stone with the cloth I brought you while apologizing.

The water drawn in the river was sprinkled and rubbed hard.

"Oh, good. Rub it and it will fall off."

I polish my grave.

Second, the magic of life came to my mind.

Life magic cannot bring a dead person back to life.

I know that.

I know...

"You can't..."

What will it be where I did it?

The bones will just move precisely.

It's just sad.

Besides, the memories are alive.

That's all right.

If you don't forget, the person won't die.

Well, I forgot... I remember, so let's just say I'm back.

Finished cleaning the tomb, accompanied by the flowers I was allowed to pick.

Yeah...... it's beautiful.

I kneel and join hands on the spot.

"Mother... Father... don't come for a while. Sorry. There's a lot going on. It was tough... I thought I'd die. Or I tried to die. But I'm happy now. So... I'll do my best. Keep an eye on me. I'm going to be a proud son in the world... and I'll be back."

I get up and pay for the dirt on my knees.

All right, let's go.

Looking back like that...... three people stood there.

"Ah..."

"Sorry Lord......"

"I followed you because I was concerned..."

"Dear Lord... I am sorry..."

Everyone was crying.

I wanted to come alone because I was ashamed...

You asked me everything... well, okay.

"Damn... well, let me introduce you to my parents. Guys, come here."

It's like Twilight lit up my introduction... I felt that way.

Whoa, whoa.

"Lord! Well back!

"Welcome back, Mr. Lord! And Mr. Levy!

"Mr. Gagan, Mr. Ellie, it's been a while"

"We're out of time"

"Asna...... I'm glad you're okay. Don't worry about it here. We'll protect you."

"Thank you, Mr. Gagan..."

After the grave visit, we were coming to the guild to show our faces.

There are several adventurers in the guild, all drinking from day to day.

I guess I don't have a lot of requests today.

Well, the ist is originally a relatively peaceful area, and this has been the case for a long time.

Is that...? That hindsight... I don't recognize anything...

"Lord! Over here, over here"

"Oh, yes!

I walked into the back of my guild, prompted by Mr. Gagan.

Once you enter the communication room and link the Demon Stone, you will be directed to the Alliance Master's room.

The room was neat and tidy and simple with nothing to waste.

Mr. Gagan seems to like it pretty, not by his looks.

"Let me take my time. in the world now… what is happening"

"Yes, I understand."

I'll tell you what I've been through.

Even so, I was generally explaining to Mr. Gagan, so all I had to do was talk about the details.

So now I'm asking the other way around what I want to hear.

"You're right I'm telling you later. So, was there anything unusual over here?

"Right...... that doesn't make a difference. Strongly enough, the number of demons has decreased."

"How many demons... suddenly?

Something's wrong again...

"No... I don't know... Tia."

"Huh?"

"Tia's hunting all over the demons, and that's when the demons are gone... seriously"

"Yes!?

Oh, did you?

I was wondering if it was any demonic thoughts again...

"Tia, you're awesome... you're so strong"

"Eh heh... well, for once..."

"He's a B-rank adventurer now, and he's the strongest in our guild, right? Tia saved the town in the meantime, and she saved the current adventurer recently, didn't she?

"That happened too..."

Tia with arms and eyes meditating.

That happens while we don't see each other for a moment......

You're getting stronger.

"At first, I just had to see the demon. - I was crying."

"Hey! Mr. Gagan, I told you not to tell me that. Awesome!

"Am I? I forgot! haha!

I'm sure Tia can laugh now because of everyone in town, including Mr. Gagan.

Asuna can rest assured of this.

"So, is Lord and Levy going on another trip?"

"Yeah, well... I thought I'd head north next"

"North... near a tee turn? There aren't many monsters over there, and they even say it's suspicious if we can call them the five biggest countries now... security sucks. Whenever the war starts, it's not strange."

Whoa, whoa.

Tea turns.

It is a great power with almost all of the northern earth as its territory, and one of the five great nations.

It used to be a strong country comparable to Olympus, but it has declined the other way because of fewer monsters.

Just as humans are precious energies for demons and dragons, so are they precious resources for humans.

Ironically enough, the monsters never had less economic effects.

That is nothing more than the inevitable flow of adventurers into the land where the monsters are.

In Celtic, for example, in addition to monster resources, adventurers benefit from a variety of things, such as staying in an inn, eating and drinking, and living there permanently.

We can now say that we have established ourselves as a second country after Olympus because the adventurers love us so much that adage such as "those who have made a name for themselves in Celtic will grow up" and we are at the apex of the adventurer's economy.

Tea turns supported the country's finances with so-called "so-called" underground resources such as ore and demon stones for less monsters to hunt.

But the fact that they start to deplete will cause the country to lean toward decline at once.

With resources from Teeters no longer turning to the world, countries that have ever purchased resources from Teeters have begun to invest in raising resources in their own countries one after another.

They were distant from initial investment and maintenance costs, as well as the fact that there was not as much reserves as a teeter with vast plots of land, but they began in most countries if there was no choice but to come around.

As a result, even without as much output as before, any sold resources will no longer be sold, and in addition to tee turns that did not bring the technology to make use of it in their own countries, the tee turning territory, including the countries that received its discharge, will be in financial difficulty at once.

In addition, we have never been able to treat countries with a high-pressure attitude or give any preferential treatment to adventurers, and any tee turns that we cannot get help with have become physically inaccessible.

It was the middle state rare that had not joined the nation of Teeturn in the North that saved it.

Rare, who had guessed that this would happen sooner or later, was secretly accumulating massive amounts of money, and he saved his tee turn predicament by buying resources in large quantities.

That is, of course, a superficial story, which is, in fact, completely different.

Rae made some covenants on his tee turns when buying up resources.

A number of conditions were arranged, such as cheaper resources and territorial expansion, but the tee turns that were treading when they came with more unscrupulous demands delighted to swallow it.

But by its covenant, the North developed into an ugly feud between humans.

Whoa, whoa.

"Yeah, I know that... I managed that war..."

"Oh dear... another unscrupulous thing... now Rae can bring half the country of Tea Turn to his side and become the Great War against the Great Powers, right? Olympus and Celtic are also trying to intervene to stop... but how are you going to stop something that still won't stop?

"I don't know about that... but it's not if we're fighting each other. So... we have to stop it."

"Uhm..."

I know it's impotent.

But if it's not zero possibility...... we should do it.

"Well good...... do as you please. Just be careful, okay? If we get into a war... we'll see hell."

"Yes...... I'm ready"

"Ha... well, leave that story... how many days can you be in the ist?

"Right...... thought I'd slow down a couple of days"

With the repetition of the movement, me and Levy are getting tired.

I plan to rest my body for a little while before traveling in full condition.

"Oh well. It's a holiday in between. Just stretch your wings out!
