My 【Repair】Skill Became an Almighty Cheat Skill, So I Thought I’d Open Up a Weapon Shop
Episode 379: Rising Morning Sunshine
By the time we went down the spiral staircase tower, the ceiling (sora) in the underground space, which had been losing light for so long, had begun to look slightly white.
The path of magic that had been taken away by Warcraft Scoll was regained, and the luminescence that reproduced the sky on earth was finally revived.
Whatever the rational story is that...
The morning sun, which ends the death fight and sees it at the end of the dark tower, was full of warmth that gently relaxed the strained mind and general fatigue.
That's not just the calories of literal meaning, but also the joy of vision being full of light feels great.
"(... you feel kind of nostalgic)"
I remember having similar feelings before.
I won't forget that one from last year.
An event that inspired me to live in Greenhollow Town and start an arms store.
I was hired by a brave party to challenge "The Millennium Corridor of Naruto" to find out what the Demon King was up to, and after being left behind for the brave man's mistake bookkeeping, the light I looked up when I escaped with my life -
Its glare and warmth will surely not be forgotten for the rest of your life.
"(I can't believe that day is coming when that feels like a memorabilia...)"
Even though it was painful at the time to just step into the dungeon, it is now diving into this deep untouched realm.
It's hard to narrow down the reasons I'm fine into one.
It may be due to the healing of mental wounds over time, or something like a sense of responsibility has been strengthened by starting a weapons store.
And when it comes to the biggest change, will it still be the presence of Ko (...) I (...)?
"... hmm? What's the matter with you?
Garnett is stretching all the way through the warm light just welcoming the morning of the memorial and the cold wind with the remnants of the night.
Short blonde hair gets sunlight and looks at the wind, I feel like I can watch it forever, not really.
"I knew you wouldn't be comfortable with nights all the time. I didn't think it was empty."
"Right. Humans don't have hearts in the dark."
I casually circle my gaze around me, laughing from side to side at Garnett.
Everyone else - Sakura and Noir, Hild and Lionel, Ezel and Eddie - loosen their expressions as they looked up at the ceiling (sora) where the light was restored.
Except for just one, Dustin.
"Luke. I'll be exploring my surroundings for a while before returning. I don't mind."
"... are you going to go after Norzuri? Isn't that a contradiction with the terms offered by the administrator?"
"I'm not going to engage even if I run into the Demon King's Army. It's only a reconnaissance. Norzuri is also denying the possibility that he left some clue."
I shook my head small and urged 'do as you please' with a hand gesture.
It's not easy to make this man change his mind, and Dustin is not a member of the White Wolf Knights or an adventurer with a contract in the first place.
Only an external collaborator who named me out of generosity, is the official treatment.
I mean, from the start, I'm not in a position to give Dustin orders.
Of course, if Dustin's arbitrary devotion exacerbates his relationship with the neutral city (Athlopolis), it was also true that he had the confidence that it would not, although it was possible to do so with the authority given to the White Wolf Knights.
Regardless of what you say and do in private, Dustin is not an adventurer stepping on this hand arrangement.
Once upon a time, much more than now, to the Demon King - apart from Gandalf, of course - even when fleshy, the Alliance gave instructions to extend the crusade on the grounds of various creases, but there was also a past in which Dustin took over the Demon King after disciplining it.
If all you think about is arguing for the Demon King in the shortest possible time, you must have lost your life when you challenged the first one, instead of getting the title of the Demon King Hunt.
"It's quick and helpful, Lord Commander."
Dustin turned back on his heels as he said so with a caged voice that sounded sarcastic and said something strange at the end.
"Returning now is something I don't expect to be able to rest soon. I'm going to have another job to do, and I want you to move."
…… What is it... is it gone already? "
We were on our way back to Athlopolis, not understanding the intent of the statement that we still had another job to do.
The natural landscape surrounded by light entails a completely different atmosphere than the dark, chilly outbound route, to the point where you think you've stepped into a different hierarchy.
We were able to reach Athlopolis without any interference, either because the nocturnal warcraft was quiet or because outbound ravaging a herd of Fenrill Wolves became a threat.
Cross the bridge of the roots of the great trees already prepared and enter the town of Athlopolis, where safety was guaranteed.
"Uh, I'm tired! After all, we've been moving around all night. If you take a break before you report it to the administrator, you won't be punished, will you?
"You shouldn't, Sir Garnett. Reporting is paramount. The administrator, Fraxinus, should be waiting for good news with his neck long."
"I know. You're just gonna say it."
Almost at the same time that Hild truly stopped to take a joke about Garnett that he didn't mean at all, the Demons came face to face one after another from an alley called the windows of the houses integrated with the trees, the alleys, and simultaneously turned their gaze towards us.
I wonder what it is. A lot of demons will pop up soon.
Orcs, fishermen, lizardmen (Lizardmans), elves. A group of species whose names are not even known to Dwarves.
Everyone and he are uniformly exposed to excitement, aligned and with intense emotions on his face.
"Hey, what the heck!?
The crowd surrounded Garnett in a hurry to shelter me.
Half of the cheers flying in the mouth were the words of demons who could not hear a single word, and the other half were languages that even humans could understand.
Yes - they are joyful from the bottom of their hearts and welcome us with excitement.
"Hey, just calm down...! Thanks, but we report to the admin... WOW!?
A big ghost (orga) grabs my body and puts it up high so I can see it well from the crowd.
The way Garnett is trying to drag him down with confusion, and the way Sakura is surrounded and messed up even at the end of his departure in [shrinkage], I can see better from here.
Ezel laughs with praise.
Eddie loses his nerve to keep the crowd out of contact with his sister.
Lionel was pulling up a hild over there that was about to drown in the crowd with one arm.
The Demons rejoicing in the long-awaited morning resurrection - watching it, I remembered the words Dustin had just said, and I burst into bitterness.
"That son of a bitch ran away because he realized this was gonna happen, didn't he? Remember that later."
