The time shifted from day to evening, and the sky shifted from clear blue to night.The monsters returned to their nests, and it was time for the villagers to finish their work and return to their homes.Neu invites Fafnerion into the village.Those who worked in the fields put their tools in the wooden cabin and did their jobs. The small shops in the village also had "closed" tags on their signs.

In such a quiet city, two black armored men are walking back on their usual route.

"Mr. Fafnerion, we're almost there.My house is this way. "

"Ahh....."

Neu is leading the way as he watches Fafunellion follow him from behind.Fafnerion looked around without looking at such a thing as Nei, turning his face left and right alternately.He seemed to be watching the city.Nevertheless, Neui did not mind and proceeded on his way to his house.

Then, after a while, it stops in front of a rustic one-storey wooden house between the houses.

"This is my house! I'm home!"

Neu enters the house.Fafnerion went into the room after that.

However, there was no one in the house and he was absent.

"Mom hasn't come back yet? - Fafnellion, please sit there."

That's what Neu says, prompting him to sit on the dining chair while lighting the lamp in the room.Fafnerion follows in a wooden common-law chair.

There is no one in the house who stands out, a kitchen with earthen potted doors, a dining room with a large square table, an open space with bookshelves, etc. A common family living room with nothing unusual about it.

"Does your mother work?"

"Yeah, Mom, Dad died in an accident and I'm working alone to help the store.Maybe it's too late because I still have work to do. "

While talking, Neu sat in front of Fafnerion.

I see.

Fafnerion shuts his mouth when he says just one word.Time passes in silence in this space with only Nei and Fafnerion.It was Neu who opened his mouth first.

"Hey, Mr. Fafnerion."

"Fafnerion is good."

"Ah, yeah. Why did Fafnerion want to protect Amura?"

"What's the matter? Do you have any questions?"

"'Cause everybody but me was treating Amura like a bad guy, so why?"

"Then let's hear it the other way around. Why do you want to protect Amura?"

"Me? That's because... Amura was a family..."

"Family?"

The question was answered suddenly with a question, and it was a moment of surprise and a moment of response.It's as if he was exhaling.

Neu's gaze fell slightly.

"Yeah, Amura used to live in Madan.But everyone in this town was the first to take over Amura, who had no idea Madam was gone.Life has been fun since Amura arrived.Amura told me to catch up with me, and my mother was happy to show interest in various things, help her with cooking and so on.But one of the villagers shouted that Amura was the bad guy just by watching him feed the dragon.After that, everyone but us said something bad about Amulla.My mother didn't say anything either.And I heard about the execution..... "

"... and what did you do?"

"So... I just talked about the execution to protect Amura and let her go.Just stay away from this place... if this were to happen... I should have said my name... "

That said, Neu sighed deeply.

"Didn't you tell Amura your name?"

"I mean, I was embarrassed... I didn't have any girlfriend... and... every time I saw his face... it was so exciting..."

Neui's face became a little red on her cheeks and her body was irritated.

"... in love..."

Fafnerion murmured in a lonely voice.

"Love?"

"... I see... I understand your thoughts.I'll be free here. "

When Fafnerion stood up suddenly, he headed straight for the door and left the house.

"Faphnerion!?"

Neu suddenly left and hurried to open the door to chase the Faphnerion and went out, but there was no Faphnerion there anymore.

"Is that it? Fafnerion...?"

"Oh, Neu. Are you home?"

It was a well-styled blue-haired ponytail woman yelling at Neu during the day who called out to Neu looking for him in front of the house.

"Mom! Have you seen anyone wearing black armor nearby!?"

"A man in black armor?What are you saying again?I haven't seen anyone like that. "

"No!! I was at home before!!"

"Home? I'm tired, Neu, so don't say weird things.Come on, I'm sorry I'm late.Come on, help me make dinner. "

That said, Neui's mother enters the house.Neu also went home with his neck bent.I was concerned about the man who suddenly disappeared, but I never told my mother what happened today.

- And the place has changed, and a black armor wandering through the rough lands of the Sarti region is walking alone.The view is darkened and the sky is lit by beautiful stars.All you can hear is rubbing metal sounds and the collision of sand flying in the wind.In that ambient sound, you can hear rustling and feathering from behind.

"How's it going?"

"You, Gremolia. What are you doing here?"

What came was a white purple-haired woman with big feathers like a bat.Land on land and fold the wings.

"Monitor if your people are working properly. Monitor.Besides... you seem to have time to talk to your kids, right?And why did you help me? "

"It's none of your business, I'm in charge here. I don't have anything to say to you."

"Well, you can do whatever you want... but don't forget that I'm doing it for you."

"Ahh... I know."

"So, you think you can get the girl?"

"Well, if I don't move, I'm more likely to come from over there."

"Over there?"

We have a target. Be careful, adventurers.

"Ah ~, those who defeated Bazur. It's a mess."

"Don't worry, tell Master Eddes I'll be back in the castle as soon as I can secure the target."

Rykay

The woman spreads her wings again, and when she smashes one, her body floats in the air.

"One more warning from me."

"What is it?"

"Don't lose yourself too much.That's why you're destroying me. "

I don't know.

"I gave you my advice. I'll see you later."

When the woman said so, she jumped up again and disappeared from the scene in an instant.

"Hmm... now, let's get ready."

When he smiled quietly under the black armor, the man disappeared into darkness as if he were going to melt into this darkness.
