As Mr. Derris decides to prepare himself.

"But, if he does anything specific, we'll be out of here." Because it's our role to deal with our brothers and sisters. "

Isn't it now?

"As it stands, he didn't do anything... there's no evidence that he did anything." Then we won't be able to move either. That was a sigh of relief, because I was good at moving my opponent, not myself. "

Exhaling a sigh, Mr. Derris looked at us.

"Anyway, we'll take care of Giltia." All you have to think about is keeping an eye on Sahaja. ”

“Okay, thank you.”

I haven't been taught anything to thank you for, though.

Fried shook his head sideways to deny that Derris was mocking himself.

"No, thank you for telling me not to worry about Giltia." I thought it would be dangerous if Giltia used some kind of magic on the battlefield when we were at war. That's what I was talking about, because we could defend ourselves against that magic. "

"Oh, don't worry about that. Because we will never let it happen. To go directly to the battlefield and use attack magic was too far out of the range allowed as a witch. You can think" no "there."

“Thank you, that would be helpful.”

There was a real feeling in Friedo's words.

When Giltia was on the battlefield as a Sahaja ally, it was Freed. He is also a man of tremendous power, but in a sense, the [Witch] is incomparable.

After all, common sense doesn't apply to witches. We can't do what we're supposed to do, but we can do it as a matter of course. That's the existence of a witch.

How long has the witch been here, and how long does it go? Is it a human being in the first place?

We don't even know that.

Seven witches with threatening powers that existed sometime ago.

Live in the midst of men, and help them: but they shall not expose their appearance to the public.

It's a coincidence that I was able to get involved with Mr. Derris.

Because I had the special power of neutralizing magic. So I was able to find her to live in hiding, I was allowed to hang out with her, and now I'm fortunate enough to call her my friend.

I think it's a miracle that the odds are really very low.

"Liddy, let's go home."

Ah, yeah.

Fried called out as he remembered his encounter with Mr. Derris. Respond to it. Looks like we're done here.

I'm sorry to bother you.

Together with Fried, he bowed his head to Mr. Derris. He raises his face and tells her to check.

Well then, the night after five days. I'll take it from here. "

Ms. Derris nodded silently.

◇◇◇

"...... five days later, ahh"

The three of them walked through the city with Cain. With the passage of time, there was a real sense that Theon would return.

All of a sudden, my ex-boyfriend came to Wilhelm from Japan. I was thinking that the person who transferred from Japan was senpai, it was too much, and I was spending time there, but finally the day came to return.

"...... Are you curious?"

Freed, who held my hand, listened with a worrying voice.

I answered honestly.

"That's right. I wonder if I can get home safely." And, look, what happens to the chronology? "

"Chronology?"

Freed asks what it means.

"I thought maybe this world and the other world would have a different flow of time." Because Theon is still young, isn't he? Even if I die pretty early, if the flow of time is the same, it's strange that at least Theon hasn't been in his forties. That is why he appeared a little older than I remember. I only think that the time is off. "

That's right.

"That's why, even if I could go home, I wonder if that's the world that Zion wants." I wonder if that bothers you. "

For example, what if Japan was a future for decades? Or vice versa. What if it's the past?

I think both are possible.

"Witches are already folded up around here, aren't they?" This way, I think you can adjust it well. "

I hope so.

Answer Fried's words with a bitter smile.

You can go back to Japan after all. I hope we can get him back where and when he wants. I think so.

"After all, I'm the one who was in my castle." I miss you when I think you're gone. "

Tell your feelings honestly.

I knew it wouldn't be a bother if I misled them.

What I'm feeling right now is not a love affair with Theon. Feelings of loneliness when you break up with someone close to you.

Sure, that's something I agree with.

Perhaps it was better to speak honestly, Friede was not jealous, and the normal agreement came back.

"He was a brilliant man, and Alec was happy."

"Oniisan, you're a favorite of Theon's, aren't you?"

Now Zion is my brother's right-hand man.

At first, I was using Theon because I wanted to borrow the cat's hand, but it was indispensable if I noticed it. I often hear my brother praise Zion, and I don't ever praise people he can't use, so I think he likes it a lot.

"If Theon says he's going to quit, he might cry."

“He said it made the paperwork a lot easier.”

Yeah, I guess that's it--Lena.

While talking to Freed, I remembered Lena, a cat beast.

It was only yesterday that she declared to her parents that she would continue to work hard.

It hurts to think of Theon as someone who freed herself from slavery.

I wish I could have gone home with my parents, but I can't help it because no one knows the future.

But...

"Lena, I wonder if you're okay..."

I'm worried about what's going on.

Lena was nostalgic for Zion. It didn't seem like I was in love, but I respected and trusted him.

Even now, I spend every day with the face of happiness that I can work for this person.

If she finds out that Zion has returned... maybe she can't just cry.

……

"Liddy"

Thinking of Lena, Freed called out gently as her mouth turned into a letter for her.

"There's no need for Liddy to think about it. It's Theon's job. Talk to Lena and say goodbye. He has to do it, and he has to endure it even when he is crying. He has already chosen to go home. I'm sure it'll hurt Lena, but that's the end of it."

"I know, but I just know Lena, who innocently missed Zion." Because I can expect you to grieve terribly. "

I'm sure Lena will cry. When I think about it, my chest feels painful.

I don't want Theon to go home, Lena. The opposite is true, and both wishes will not be fulfilled. Lena needs to break up with Theon.

It's hard, isn't it?

I mumbled what I thought. Freed strengthened the power to hold my hand.

"--I wonder what an ideal it would be for everyone to have a happy ending."

Behind someone's wishes is someone's tears.

I knew it, but there was nothing I could do. I could only look up at the sky.
