Munou To Yobareta Ore, Yottsu No Chikara Wo Eru

"Hmm... I think that one..."

I was contacted about ten minutes after I left the store.

Now covered in snow, in the woods stretching out of town.

I was able to find the carriage the Tiers were riding ahead of me, as I was told.

"... send a signal."

I remember it right after I tried to get my legs forward and I grab the demon stone in my coat pocket.

1... 2... 3 times... now...

"Ah! Sherylou!

The signal I was being asked was that I could magic the Communication Demon Stone three times.

As soon as I did as I was told, Tia looked out of the carriage and called my name with a smile.

"haha...... yeah...... I'm coming now"

That smile is so dazzling, my nose hurts so much.

I ran under the tier, smiling and waving, rubbing it, which would probably be red.

"Sa, get in, get in!

"Oh, yeah."

Tier invites me and I go in from behind the carriage.

Oh, surprisingly wide.

"Cheryl...... Long time no see"

"Asna... yeah... long time no see"

"Sit there. I'll make you some tea now."

"Yeah...... thanks"

I sit back in a seat covered in fur, urged by her.

Tia and Asna sat side by side with me, SSS Rank Adventurer Zwed and the other guy sitting across from us.

"I'm suddenly sorry, Cheryl... you surprised me"

"Huh? Oh, no, I'm sure surprised... it's good to see you both again"

"Really!? Good..."

"Anyway, I'm glad Cheryl seems fine. I was worried about Tia and me."

"Oh well... I'm glad they both look fine. So, why are you here? No way you're looking for me..."

"That's right. I'm here to see you."

... It really is.

But...

"Hey, why bother?

I don't know why.

Up to this northern edge......

"Hmm... something, because Cheryl seemed troubled"

What...?

"Duh, how did you... thought?

"Hmm... somehow?

Hey, somehow......

"Tia already...... well, it sure was somehow at first. The expression, the way you talk... but I guess the decision-maker is that letter."

"Letter? Oh......"

Was that left for the two of us at Focken's inn?

I think I wrote something weird...

I was also curious to say "" I shouldn't go north "... but the last thing that bothered me the most was" goodbye "it said. I don't know... I feel like I'm saying I'll never see you again."

Ah......

"If it says" See you later, "maybe neither me nor Tia cared so much. I hope to see you again, about.

"Yes, that! That's why I decided to look. To talk to Cheryl again."

"Ti, Tia......"

"We may not be able to rely on it... but I think we can help a little. So why don't you talk to me?"

"Asna......"

We were only together for a little while...

I don't know... I don't know...

"Thanks...... really......"

All... let's talk about it all.

These two would surely...!

"Wow, me... me! Now...... I'm with Titanomachia......!

―――――――――――――――――――――

That's how Cheryl told me everything.

Reduce whimpering, wiping tears from time to time.

Me and Asna, and then Mr. Zwed and Mr. Din, were just listening to her in silence.

its hard and...... talk about sad Cheryl.

"To the people of Titanomachia...... I honestly appreciate it. That was hell...... even now I remember...... ugh! Wow, I could go back to being human because of them, and I could meet a girl I could call my best friend. But about Karen this time... no, I've always had my doubts... you just pretended not to notice that. It's just that my place was the only one there. There's no other place to go, and for me I've lost my family and my acquaintance, they're the only ones I can count on. Well, in the end I couldn't do anything... but if I stay like this, I'm sure..."

... Cheryl is just like me and Asna.

That was all I had.

Because if I didn't, I wouldn't have been able to live.

The only difference is that whoever reached out was the exact opposite person.

So I need to tell you.

Yes, there was a human being, and he said he didn't have to be there.

"Cheryl... I get it. Because we're the same."

"... Huh? Oh, the same..."

"So are we... ex-innocence."

"Huh... Huh!?

"Oh, to be exact, I'm still" incompetent. "Because they took away the magic."

"Oh, hey... what do you mean...?

"Now I'll talk to you. Why we can do this now and until we find Cheryl. I'll introduce myself to those two then."

"Be brief. I'm getting sleepy."

"Oh, it was sleepy to have red eyes. I see..."

"Stop that snorting face... I'm gonna punch you, old man"

... because I'm not being honest.

"Well, let's start with me."

That's how I started telling Cheryl about ourselves.

About my parents and when I realized I was "incompetent".

Then... about Horus.

And you helped me with nothing I could do... about Mr. Lord.

I also talked about Asuna.

Mr. Lord, who helped me, was formerly "incompetent," and that Asna had done terrible things.

That he was then deprived of his magic by the brave and became "incompetent".

I was about to be executed, Asuna, but I also saved it... that it was Mr. Lord.

"We're both here now, helped by Mr. Lord. If it weren't for that guy... Asuna, of course, I'd probably be dead too"

"That's... well... that's why the two of you took me..."

"Maybe so... I didn't know Cheryl was a former" incompetent "but I don't think he was someone else for some reason... it was like that"

"We're the same thing. It's just that the person who saved me was different. But we can still make it now. Actually, I kind of noticed Cheryl might be Titanomachia on the road. So, when I found out there was Titanomachia in this town, I felt the magic of Cheryl the moment I arrived and I was sure. That's why I'm thinking about the rest of this. Good to see you, Mr. Din."

"Oh, it's finally time. I'm Din-Zoldert. I'm the Knight Commander of Kneeberg. Say hello."

"Knight Commander of Kneeberg....... Nice to meet you...!

"Oops. From what I hear now, Cheryl had no choice but to stay at Titanomachia...... right?

"... Yes"

"Then it's easy. Everything is force majeure...... so push it off. So, you can hide it as an informant. Your Majesty would understand, so I'm fine."

"Yes, okay? Because I..."

"I'm fine. Believe me."

"Oh, thank you......!

Everyone knows that I was just in Titanomachia and I didn't do anything, and I couldn't stop it.

Besides, Master Adeed will be fine.

I'm sure he protects me, including a kid named Karen.

"See you next zud."

"Mm-hmm... what about me?

"Oh, I know. As a cautionary figure in Titanomachia…"

"Ha... that would be an honor"

"Ha... Oh, and, actually, Mr. Lord too..."

"Oh, I knew..."

"Yeah. I didn't know you were two benefactors, but from what I've heard, you're definitely the same person. He's on the list of people to watch out for, too. There's a guy named Mm on the Titano Machia, but he was magically unable to chase him, so he told me to report him when I found him."

"Hmm...... what kind of magic is it?

"The magic of the mum is the magic of a thousand eyes." If you see someone within a month, no matter how far away you are, you can only "watch" that person once a day... from the sky. "
