We left the waiting room and walked early through the hallway of "Below the Moon Beauty". I'm heading to a room where Lark was asleep.

Aba says as she walks.

"Actually... she was supposed to be awarded a fourth prize."

"Four?"

Four, I felt strange. I heard that keeping the front line was mostly Lark's favor.

"Oh, no, it's a great feat, but she stole the 'Below the Moon Beauty' once... offset by that, she's a fourth prize."

"Does that mean your charges have already been settled?

That's right.

Hooray. Though I knew it would be okay, it was true that Lark had once stolen a magic airship, and I heard that this country had become a mess.

"But there were many high-ranking officials who were uncomfortable that she would be honoured for her crimes, and discussions were still going on while fighting on the front lines. Maybe she knew about it."

"What kind of reward do you get?

"It was decided yesterday. I don't think she knew. She seems to have disappeared feeling neglected or afraid of being prosecuted."

…………

No, I noticed.

Not enough to disappear without telling me. [M]

It wasn't the Empire that Lark cared about.

"Keysgrain Federation"

!?

As a giggle, Aba stops her feet.

"Isn't the Keesgrain Federation demanding Lark?

"... no, why would Reiji do that?"

I knew it.

The country realizes that the Shadow King Magic Sword used by Lark was excavated from the "Rokuten Mine (Six Mine)". Even Lark is a slave who escaped from the mine.

"Did the Keysgrain Federation explain the situation?

"No... just because the Black Air Bandit is a citizen of the Keesgrain Federation and wants to protect (...), I want you to surrender him immediately..."

"... I see."

Does the Keysgrain Federation want to hide what happened in the mines? More simply, you don't want to make things rough, you want to quickly seize Lark's identity.

If she breaks out, there will be many dead, so let her be alarmed and pull out her talent balls at once....

"Let's hurry, Aba-san. Something happened in Lark's room, right?

Abba said she heard from me, too, but she immediately led me to her room to see if she wanted to prioritize finding Lark.

"--here."

The room was probably the same as the other rooms. However, it seems to be large enough for a limited number of airships.

A room like a hotel with no feeling of living, just a slight disturbance of bed sheets.

"Here."

There was paper and pen on the side table, as well as an ink bottle.

The paper had a shitty script —— but it was written in a handwriting that was fairly legible.

"Dear brother,

Looks like I can't live that long.

But I'll try a little harder. "

I felt the flow of time that I was much better than the writing I saw in the Duke of Ahenbach's territorial capital, where I broke up with her for a long time.

"... why!

I knew Lark was using his talent too much to lose his vitality. [M] So anyway, I was trying to convince him not to use his talent any more, but to pull out the ball of talent if possible.

I can't believe Lark disappeared at the end of the arrow.

Reggie.

Mr. Minho's hand was attached to my wrist, and I felt relieved. The hand holding the paper was trembling and was about to break.

"Don't take a good look... 'I'll try harder'"

"... yes, but that's..."

She's trying to live.

Mino-san's words burst into my chest.

Yes, Lark is trying to live. I'm trying to live somehow.

"Let's find out. You're a very important person, aren't you, Reggie?

Yes, Mino is right.

If Lark's gone, we can find him.

"--Mr. Dantes, Mr. Non."

When I look back at the two of you,

I know. Don't tell anyone.

"Yes... until the church tells me to come back, but I'll go out with you."

That's not to mention what I said. [M]

... I wonder if you can do this well.

After four years of reunion in the Holy Kingdom of Kurvan, I came here to see Lucha in my wagamma to visit the Lev Magic Empire. Since then, it's been an unexpected continuum--even my identity has been cared for, and on top of that, I've been asked to chase Lark again.

Then I'd rather be alone. [M]

"Reggie, I'm not thinking of going looking for you alone."

!?

"It's written on my face. You'll see soon enough. I only have two hands, four for two, and eight for four. If Zelly's guy joins us, he'll be working a lot at these times."

"... thank you, Dantes."

Oh.

Nikki, Mr. Dantes with his thumbs up with a smile is too handsome.

"Reggie, if we're going after him, we'd better move fast. We will issue official documents for your identity today and tomorrow at the latest. Another" hope "will take some time to deliberate--"

"Yes, I will contact the Adventurer Alliance here to confirm it when it settles down."

"That's good."

"Ah... and..."

I naturally remembered that there was another person I had to see.

You can't just leave without saying hello.

"--is it true that Lawrence has left!?"

It was at that moment that a girl in a deep purple dress jumped into the room.

Long blonde hair shines enough light without glittering, and red eyes are like beautiful jewels.

She said,

"Lady... it's been a while."

Miss Eva stopped at the scene.

"Reggie...."

If I'm not a fantasy, if this isn't a dream, if I'm simply mistaken -- I snapped to confirm that, miss.

Reggie!

Again, I raised my voice.
