"Uh, uh, Lord Luke..."

"What's going on? So much change."

When me and Sakura started the conversation, Garnett got up from the chair subtly and took his seat off.

Though there is no physical partition, there is practically no one else around, so it's practically just me and Sakura.

"... Sorry about earlier. Jeans are heard from Garnett. For my immaturity, I apologize for any inconvenience..."

"I can't help it. It's weirder to stay calm in that situation. Have you talked to the Nagis?

"Yes... of course I tried to apologize, but I was pushed away to stop because it's creepy that I could bow my head to you"

"Sounds like a nagi. I'm sure he wants to keep his distance now."

I urged Sakura to sit in the chair because there were signs that it was going to be a little long talk.

"I repeat, that was a matter of no choice. At the time I ran into the Demon General in the first place, I had to ask him to use a divine descent in preparation for the risk. Besides, it's unpredictable for anyone to see a godlike thing on their face."

Though there is no doubt that the beginning of the matter lies in Sakura, that is why it is impossible to hold Sakura accountable.

It's impossible for us to blame Sakura, but the outsiders will find it wrong, logically speaking.

Indeed, the divine descent had long been thought to present some risk.

Sakura herself said she felt the signs, so it would be a lie to say that she could not foresee any major trouble at all.

- But the enemy we confronted at that time was the Tin of Fire, one of the four demon warlords.

The fact that we needed a divine descent to get out of our predicament would be immediately imaginable by those involved in the Demon King's War.

"Just to make sure, the flesh of the tin was really your father,"

"Yes. That face is for sure. The first time I fought I couldn't tell with my voice..."

"The effect of the modification, after all"

Keep the first hypothesis that comes to mind in your mouth.

I was also confident that this should be for sure, but Sakura leaned down to grief and shook her neck to the side as she sat in the chair.

"I don't remember... my father's voice. The facial memory is clear. I haven't forgotten the teachings I received either. But... I can't remember what kind of voice you were talking about."

"... well. People forget from their voices."

I just realized the same thing.

When Garnett took me back to my hometown village.

When I met Mark face to face in Wang Du for fifteen years.

In both cases, I had a new experience remembering, 'Oh, you were speaking like this'.

People forget their voices first, then their faces, and finally their memories.

Secondly, questions that have nothing to do with the current exchange pass through the back of the brain.

Alphazle, who should have finished his life as a human a long time ago - how accurate are the memories of the alphazle in the dazzling woman (Kahime) obsessed with that man?

"No! I didn't take the time to hear you cry!

Sakura raised her voice to tell herself, offering me every sheath of scarlet knife she was lowering to her waist.

"Whatever the place of responsibility, it is true that I have exercised extra power in my hands. It's not strange when you lose control. I can't keep the key to power with you and act with you. Please keep it."

This knife - the total Hiirokane knife - is a key sacrifice that activates the divine descent.

Unlike the cherry blossom colored Hihirokane alloy knife that I have always used in combat, it is specially made from 100 percent pure Hihirokane.

"... if you don't get used to any power with experience, you won't be able to use it for long. You're gonna use it one day out of control when you need it?

"But not like this..."

I guess this was also the conclusion of a sincere thought on becoming a sakura.

If it's important, but it's out of hand, let it go - it's certainly not one way to bully.

But to be honest, Sakura's divine descent is an important force to let go of.

Is there any means to make both at the same time?

I just thought about whether there was a convenient option without reaching for the scarlet knife, and this comes to mind.

The more I think about it, the more this seems to me.

A compromise proposal that allows you to let go of the sword made of total hyirokane and continue to use the divine descent as before.

The question that remains is whether Sakura's future policy will be in line with it.

"Sakura, by the way. What are you going to do with your activities as an adventurer?

"What... it's... I still want to get to the mystery of this dungeon. There is also the case of Father, and the Demon King's Army and Alpha Zulu appear to be somewhat connected to the Fire Daisy (Hinokagahime). There's no reason to turn your back."

"Good for you then. This is my suggestion as head of the White Wolf Knights..."

Present a compromise with a straight view of Sakura's eyes as she receives the scarlet knife.

"The knife is kept as the Knights. And you, too, as a member of the Knights, will you be involved in the investigation of the dungeon?

"Wow, me!?

"Oh, because your purpose and our business are in the same direction. I don't think I can be a knight, though, so I think I'll be in the position of an adventurer with a long-term exclusive contract with the Knights"

Not all the people who work with the Knights are necessarily knights.

A soldier operated by the Golden Tooth Knights as a force of war could be described as an easy representative example of this.

Sometimes a knight apprentice will go out to battlefield treating him like a soldier, but the ratio is the majority of people hired regardless of their knight status.

In the case of silver wings, all personnel directly involved in important investigations seem to be regular knights, but as the end of policing - for example, for the policing of local towns and villages - they may also employ non-knights.

So what's the problem with having an adventurer as a necessary talent for the White Wolf (us) who is tasked with fraternizing with the Adventurer Alliance and uncovering the secrets of this dungeon?

"I only ask you to use this knife when you think you need it as captain. Of course, training for use is part of that. Instead of the Knights managing the exercise of the divine descent, the attendant troubles are also dealt with under the responsibility of the Head of the Regiment. How about this?

"Duh, nothing, do you say it's too convenient for me..."

"If it wasn't for this condition, I wouldn't be keeping the knife."

Awww and upset Sakura.

Damn, if you think it's convenient, you should take it in two replies.

Realizing once again the seriousness of Sakura, I decided to wait slowly for Sakura to regain her composure and reply.
