All she could see was the sight.

A steel sword to be swung down. Splashing blood splash. Young man falling into the workout floor.

And when the sword-wielding figure laid hands on the fallen figure, the figure of a young man who had defiled the workout floor with his own blood disappeared.

In front of her dazed eyes, her beloved youth disappeared to scratch off.

"........................... Huh?

He opens his crimson eyes wide and she glances around.

"..................... is that it?

She gives a decent look. She can't understand what I've seen in front of her.

No, I don't want to understand. It's a mistake.

Where the youth has disappeared, its residual little blood build-up is polluting the floor. But there is nowhere but the appearance of her beloved youth.

Only she and anyone else on this occasion is putting their hands on their foreheads and looking up to heaven and laughing.

"…………………………… Y"

From her cherry blossom lips, the puffiness and little words fade away zero.

And a sad scream burst out of her mouth to cut it off.

"No, no, no, no, no!"

Standing up in a hurry, she rushes to a place where his tracks linger, and gets to the point where blood builds up. The bouncing blood stains her white face, but she doesn't pay attention to that.

"My lord... my lord!! where are you!?"

In search of the remnants of him left behind, she looks around desperately with her hands on the ground. But naturally, she doesn't look like she's looking for it.

"My lord... my lord... my lord... my lord... ah!!"

As if confused, she calls the name over and over again, looking around with frightened eyes.

Like a stray away from your parents. Like a chick who lost sight of her parent bird to follow.

But at the same time, she kind of understood it in the corner of her head. that he…… her beloved youth is not just gone from this place, but is no longer in the same world as her.

As if he were a toddler, Calcedonia cries without hiding the tears that flow down.

Until the falling snow layers snugly into her body, she weeps as far as her voice can without moving from the spot.

When the person approached her inexorably like that, she gently held her cold body from behind.

"It's okay, Cheeko. From now on, I'm here. I'll always be with you. So like before...... live with me?

Gently whispering in Calcedonia's ear is, of course, tatsumi.

As Tatsumi's words reach the tympanic membrane of Calcedonia, the crying stops perfectly until then.

"Don't touch me!!"

Standing up to be bounced, Calcedonia takes a distance from Tatsumi. And he quickly chanted a spell as he angered his tear-wet face, releasing purple electricity toward Tatsumi.

The purple electricity emitted cleaves the air and scattered snow and hits the tatsumi. But Tatsumi dodged it in Moment Metastasis and appeared behind her again as she did.

"Ha, what do you do all of a sudden? You said you could finally live together again like you used to?

Leaning his neck, Tatsumi is grinning. He said he had no idea that Calcedonia had suddenly attacked him.

Then, stepping on the floor of the training ground, Tatsumi slowly approaches Calcedonia.

"Chi, stay away!!"

Calcedonia releases "Thunder Strikes" to keep standing, but they are all dodged by Tatsumi.

"How are you, Cheeko? I'd love to be healthy, but I can't be electrocuted forever."

When Tatsumi focuses her consciousness on her palms, something there appears. Having seen it, Calcedonia opens her eyes to surprise and inadvertently interrupts the attack.

"... demon-sealed... bracelet...? Where did you get that stuff from..."

"Oh, there were some in a room with a castle-like place, so I appropriately held onto it. I'm sorry, but I need you to be a little more adult."

A demonic sealed bracelet disappeared from Tatsumi's palm, and the disappeared bracelet appeared on Calcedonia's right hand.

The magic sealed bracelet is a magic seal that has the power to seal the magic of the wearer, as its name suggests, and is used primarily to seal the magic of a wizard who has committed a crime.

Perhaps somewhere in the royal castle was the room where Tatsumi had so many demon-sealed bracelets. The Royal Castle has a certain range of bracelets to use for the wizard who became a sinner. There's no place in Tatsumi where you can use metastases, but you can't sneak in.

And to remove this bracelet, you will need a special key. The key is normal because of its appearance, but in fact the bracelet is unlocked by the magic hidden in the key. For this reason, unless you are also a user of a transfer like the Tatsumi and others, it will not be possible to remove the worn demon sealed bracelet without a key first.

"Now Chico can't use magic anymore. I mean, we can't even subpoena him again. Originally, his summons would have required year-by-year preparation, but now you don't have to waste any more of that!

smile. And refreshingly, Tatsumi tells. And it was also a declaration that sealed what could be called a last hope for Calcedonia.

"Well, there are no more interruptors... the terms I put out, remember?

If Tatsumi turned around while he said so, there was a Giuseppe figure there. Giuseppe also seemed to see the moment when Tatsumi disappeared.

Is it because of that, instead of fitting into the usual atmosphere of favoritism, Giuseppe stares at Tatsumi with a harsh look on his face?

Tatsumi and Giuseppe stare at each other silently. How long would I have done that? Phew and exhaled loudly, Giuseppe shook her neck sideways without force.

"Fine. I accept your terms and conditions."

"Grandfather!!"

"Sorry, it's Calse. There's no other way. I know how the Lord feels, but swallow up here."

With his eyes closed and his head bowed deeply, Giuseppe told Calcedonia so.

Even now, the dragons are slowly moving around the outer perimeter of the Wang capital. And depending on Tatsumi's command, the Warcraft will turn their fangs toward the king's capital simultaneously.

How much damage will there be if that happens? Of course it is understandable to Calcedonia. Because that's understandable, she just has to look down and squeeze her fist tightly without being able to say anything.

"Yes, yes. This is what this grandfather says, and from now on, let's live with me."

Tatsumi, who says so, seems to be in such a good mood that there are no more smiles.

"I'll have the carriage ready immediately. You wait here often."

"Oh, that's good. From now on, I can live with Chico. If you think about it, it won't take much longer."

The upbeat Tatsumi accepts Giuseppe's words lightly.

Though surprised by the tatsumi who followed his words more lightly than expected, Giuseppe approaches Calcedonia, who stares silently at the ground, gently putting her hands on its shoulders.

"Now it's because of patience. My son-in-law... your Lord's Tatsumi will definitely return to you. Can the Lord not believe his own husband?

Words whispered small in the ear. Besides, Calcedonia looked up as if she had been played.

"Oh, my grandfather..."

"And it's only half as good as the Lord's willingness to believe in His Son-in-law. Will you believe me about Nong? Don't be sorry."

Right next to Calcedonia's crimson eyes, Giuseppe's eyes are distorted. The look was from when her grandfather was up to something, which she knew very well.

A carriage with the crest of the Savaive God slowly runs through the city of Levantis, scattered with snow, echoing the noise of a raging wheel.

There are three people in the carriage. One is the Supreme Priest of the Temple of Savaivo. Next to it is a woman priest with platinum hair, adopted daughter and granddaughter of the Supreme Priest.

And on the two pairs (mens), a figure in clothing unfamiliar to this kingdom of Largofiri.

The person smiles and is in a good mood, staring at the female priest sitting in front of her. But the female priest, speaking of, ignored anything about the person in front of him or anything, just watched the landscape flowing out the window.

"Oh, Cheeko. What are we going to live with? Do you want to go somewhere? If you do, I'll take you anytime, okay? Look, if it's my Moment Transfer, I can get there as soon as I want. That's how you and I should travel for a while."

Tatsumi smiling and looking to enjoy what is to come. But Calcedonia will not react to that word. Nevertheless, Tatsumi will tell you more about the future prospects. But besides, it's not like Calcedonia shows anything.

Still without snagging, Tatsumi continued to talk about "the future prospects".

Within such a prolonged repetition in the narrow carriage, the carriage arrived at a certain mansion that was the destination.

Tatsumi, getting out of the carriage, gives a relieved look at the mansion in front of her.

"Heh, awesome mansion. Could you be living here with Chico from now on?

"Exactly. By the way, this is the house of Non and the house where Calse lived until her childhood before entering the temple quarters."

Heard of the house Calcedonia had previously lived in, Tatsumi makes his face shine.

"Oh well. Cheeko over here was a lady, not like before!

Like a child arriving at an amusement park, Tatsumi gleams his eyes and rushes toward the mansion. But within no amount of progress, I stopped that leg.

Because.

Three men of good stature stood up, as if to obstruct Tatsumi's path.

The men are in their thirties and forties. They all look somewhere alike, and it is easy to tell that they are in a blood relationship.

"... who are you guys?

Tatsumi looks suspiciously at the men standing in front of her.

"Us? We're Calse's righteous brothers."

A man standing in the middle of the three - Taurod, the eldest brother of Giuseppe's sons - told Tatsumi, staring at him.

"Huh? Cheeko's brothers............?

"You're right... but my father told me that you really look like a tatsumi we know"

When he saw someone who looked just like Tatsumi, whom they admitted as their brother-in-law, his second brother Slate muttered.

"Really? Isn't that a little extravagant compared to our righteous brother? And his arms are thinner than his, and he's not trained at all, is he? Well, they do look a lot alike, but the atmosphere is quite different."

After casually looking from the tip of his head to the toe of his nails at the tatsumi standing in front of him, says Leiluk, the three men.

"Oh, my God, you're staring at people. Are you really Chico's brother? You don't look alike at all."

"Similar or similar, but I'm pretty sure Calse is our sweet sister."

To the words of his elder brother, the two younger brothers also nod and show.

"This is Calse's house, which means it's also our house, Calse's brother. I mean, you're gonna live with Calse, and you're gonna live with us, your brother. Well, I don't know how much I'm with you, but do me a favor."

and Leiluk continued in a playful manner.

"Hey, Grandpa!! What do you mean?"

"Well, what are you talking about?

Draining the outraged tatsumi, Giuseppe softens in white.

"You shouldn't have accepted my terms!? How could you even have Cheeko's brothers where I and Cheeko live!?"

"Before you complain to Nong, try to remember the terms you put in place again."

"What the... Huh!?"

While seeping anger into Giuseppe's words, Tatsumi turned her memory upside down to remind her again of the conditions she had put out.

─ ─ Like me and Chico once did... living together as a family. That's my condition.

Sure, that's what Tatsumi said for Giuseppe.

"........................... ah"

"Whoa, whoa. Looks like you finally noticed."

With a winning face, Giuseppe tells Tatsumi.

"You don't put a word in the terms of 'living together'. I will admit that you and Calse will live together, as you put it out. But this is where you live with Calse... at Non's house. Of course, living with Calse as a family means living with his brothers as a family."

"Ko, this raccoon... Huh!!"

Tatsumi distorting her face with remorse and Giuseppe looking forward to it.

At present, each of Giuseppe's three sons lives independently and with his wives in a mansion. In other words, only Giuseppe and his wife, and servants who work in the dwelling, usually live in this mansion.

Those sons gathered in this house because their father, Giuseppe, told them to provide protection for Calcedonia.

If it is to protect your lovely sister-in-law, the three brothers-in-law have no objection. They nodded to their father's request in two replies, and thus waited in Giuseppe's mansion.

"Well, this one kept his promise to you, didn't he? Naturally, it's your turn to keep your word. Or are you going to tell me that you forgot the terms you offered?

"Chi............ I don't know what else to do...... Huh!!"

Totally uttered, Tatsumi throws up regrettably.

And Tatsumi stands up with her eyes closed for a few moments. Perhaps he's giving instructions to the military dragons he's put under his command.

"... the dragon kept away from the king's capital. But don't forget, okay? So the dragons are still under my control? If I call you in, you're gonna hit this city any minute, right?

"Oh, I'll never forget that."

Giuseppe laughs at it. And Tatsumi turned away from Giuseppe with a bitter look on her face.

"... this grandfather was a lot more raccoon than I expected."

"Whoa, whoa. When you negotiate in the future, think of a few more words to negotiate, young man."
