Seventy villagers, three.

We arrived in Wang Du, met Listella, gave her the report and a letter from Cecil, and after staying overnight in Wang Du to let Eina replenish her sister's ingredients, we returned to the mine.

It makes me feel emotional that it's been a year since you've come to this world, on the other hand, that about half the mountains around the mine have turned red or yellow and I'm strangely impressed that there are red leaves (like this) in this world as well.

By this time last year I was at my best to live, and I couldn't afford to care less about the color of the leaves......

By the way, while I was on the farm, September 12th was my birthday and I turned 17.

Even though it was his birthday, which he had completely forgotten, his sister remembered and celebrated by making dried grape cakes.

On the other hand, I was so happy. I find myself completely forgetting my sister's birthday, and I'm filled with regrets.

It was the 24th of March, right? Let's not forget next time......

This place, which was the first mine to return in roughly three months, once seemed a horrible place, was now felt very nostalgic.

Going around the gate for a while, I see a lot of elves doing their jobs as usual.

But if you look closely, there seem to be more people dealing with wood, cloth, and all kinds of materials than those dealing with ore.

The elves from the ranch seem to be finding a job that suits them, and they look so radiant to be independent.

When I heard the news that we were back, Lena and Serres came together. The pharmacist also shows up. I thought it might be rare, but speaking of which, I'm bringing Mr. Hilse.

Lynne seems to be picking it up in the woods, but one of Mr. Elves runs to get it. They started letting me in the woods by myself. I'm happy to grow.

"Everyone's home. I've got a new companion."

When I said that and introduced the three of them, the moment I found out one of them had a stone processed stunt, Mr. Serres took him away as a tool maker for the memorial, and the leather processed man had a consultation about the clothing parts, Mr. Lena took him away. Talent acquisition competition is too intense.

To the other one left, the pharmacist runs over with his white coat.

"Hilse! You lived a lot!

The pharmacist hugged him and made his eyes black and white for a moment, but eventually he didn't moisten his eyes and cried.

"Mr. Lucrea... it's been a while... I saw the letter, but I can't believe I'm really seeing you..."

"Oh, right. I didn't even think about it............ yes! Is your body okay?!? Are you hurt or anything bad?

Saying it's his first reunion in 20 years, the pharmacist quickly becomes the physician's face and begins to examine Mr. Hilse's body everywhere. You're no different. This guy......

"I'm fine. Mr. Lucrea seems to be doing well, even more so."

The man was dying until six months ago... and he didn't say anything like water, but watched the two people warmly happy to reunite, and the pharmacist suddenly grabbed Hilse's left wrist and changed his complexion.

"... Hilse, this is..."

"Oh, I knew you'd understand. I was attacked by Wyburn about six years ago, and that's when it broke. I don't have a decent treatment facility, and I didn't have a doctor... I only had an escort, but it didn't seem to stick well..."

"- Are you in pain?

"A little on cold days, rainy days, etc. But you can move almost as much as you used to."

"No, that can't be right! You were good at woodworking. There may not be an obstacle to everyday life, but delicate work should not be done enough"

"... haha, you just can't mislead Mr. Luclea's eyes"

"Of course, I saw you the moment you were born. I know everything about your body from corner to corner."

"The way I put it... but fortunately, I wasn't the right person, and I've never done any delicate work where I've been, so it's true that I wasn't handicapped."

"That would be a story to date. Come on, I'll reconnect you."

"What, now?

A pharmacist trying to pull Mr. Hilse's right hand in confusion and pull him into the treatment room. Just then, Lynne ran out of breath from the mountain.

"Yoichi, Kaori, Lord Rhina, Nina, welcome back!

Mr. Hilse captures Lynne's appearance in sight as she screams and rushes over.

"Lynne! You were really there too!

"Mr. Hilse! You're safe...... Yoichi, thank you!

Deeply bowing his head toward me, Lynne joins hands with Mr. Hilse to share his joy.

That's right. The pharmacist was also watching the two of them to reflect that they were a little too focussed.

There are only three of them, but this is how the former inhabitants of the same village were reunited with each other. I feel proud to say that I could repay you at all.

The day slowly healed the fatigue of the long journey in the hot springs, and the evening coincided with our return celebration and a welcoming party of new companions.

For some reason my sister, who was supposed to be on the side to be celebrated, was sticking around and cooking, but I felt like I hadn't been home in a long time, and I could have a lot of fun.

I said it was a report while I was gone, looking away from the thick bunch of paper that Lynne gave me...
