The sunlight is harsh, and it feels like summer.
Apparently, the seasons are the same for the "front world" and the "back world".
Even though they were dragon people who wanted to take a hot bath in such a situation, they wanted to take the scales they had left when they peeled in the bath - and it seemed incredibly pleasant to me as a human species - and the public baths were thriving day after day.
"I can't go back when I didn't know about the bath anymore...."
When I saw the Green Elder laughing, I thought I might have taught them something terrible... No, well, it's just a bath.
Well then, the oldest living quarter I can think of is here.
Today, I was listening again to information from the elders, who are the most knowledgeable of the dragon cities. By the way, they're floating in the public bath, and I'm taking notes outside the bath.
There shouldn't be any more scales left to take, but the elders came to the public baths every day.
What I wanted to know was the footprints of La Fizza.
I wanted to know how he got to the "front world".
So I was taught the oldest place in the dragon colony that was swaying the continent - near the Holy King's Capital in the Holy Kingdom of Kurvan. It is also slightly closer to the underground city.
(But I don't know... there's something about El-san that bothers me.)
Elle, the superior priest of the Holy Kingdom, said this.
—— Well, of course, we can't observe the "back world" right now. There seems to have been a commute in ancient times, but we have closed the gates connecting the world to stop it.
I don't know how old it was, but I just hope it was a long time before La Fizza lived.
(Who's manipulating the gate? God.
It is not strange to have a god in this world full of elements that science cannot say magic and talent jewels. Non of the "Silver Balance" belongs to the church, and the church should believe in God. I don't know if it's real.
"Sumeria, at least eat with a spoon."
…………
"If you can talk to me, please respond."
…………
At Kimidoripa's mansion table, Asha was careful about Sumeria eating bare hands, and Sumeria was constantly ignoring it.
Thanks, things are not going well between us. Rather, there is the problem of what to do with Sumeria, who is returning to her toddler... I thought it would be dangerous to leave him alone, but if I thought about it, maybe I should have listened to them properly.
But I heard the other day that Sumeria doesn't have any parents. I was innocently told that I was already dead - on the contrary, it was because I heard it that Asha was motivated to educate Sumeria.
"Well, well, you just have to learn slowly!
"Yeah, yeah, because you can't handle it anymore, I missed you...."
Kimidori Papa and Kimidori Mama told me.
"--Reggie, did you decide to leave town?
Surprisingly, I lowered the fork. [M]
Well, did you realize that my atmosphere was different? [M]
"What do you mean, Mr. Reggie?"
Asha was confused, and Sumeria was baffled.
"Yes, actually, I want to get out as soon as possible. I thought I'd talk to Asha after dinner."
"Have you decided on your destination?
I nodded and told him to go first to the oldest quarter.
There may be a clue there - it was more likely not to, but there is no other possibility, so we have to go.
There may have been a crack in the "Unopened Ground Canyon", but I didn't think it was until I looked into La Fizza's footprints. No matter what you think, there's a lot of danger.
"That's right... Um, Mr. Reggie. I'll come with you--"
"Of course, Asha should come with us."
Asha's anxious expression flashed brightly.
"Ha, ha!
It is dangerous to take him away.
But there's nothing more I can do than make you feel so lonely.
Let's ask the Chief of Staff of the Lev. I don't think I'm going to tell you never to take Asha.
…………
Sumeria looked at me.
Yes, I was only wondering if I should take her.
"... you're the best person in this city."
When Kimidoripa told him to go around, Sumeria raised her face with a firm face. She was an infant when speaking from herself, but she seemed to understand about 80% of this language.
"No."
Clearly, Sumeria vomited a denial that did not cause any mistakes.
"I have something to do with him. It's your job to drop it off."
"No."
"I understand that feeling...."
Kimidoripa looked up at the ceiling with his arms folded.
I didn't think it would be good for Kimidori Dad to say any more. I'm the one who took her out, and I'm leaving her here again.
"Sumeria--"
"Mr. Reggie."
It was Kimidorima who stopped me. [M] I shook my neck to the side. Don't say that.
Why? I'm sure Sumeria won't be convinced if I don't tell her.
"... you know perfectly well that outside the city is dangerous, Sumeria. Reggie can protect herself. But you..."
"Nooooooooo!
Sumeria stood up and pointed at Asha with her dirty fingers.
"Nh! nnh!
I'm sure Asha will be the same. Why don't you take Asha, who's younger than Sumeria?
"She's prepared. If she thinks she's got her feet tied, she dies... that's what she's prepared for."
Eh.
Was that what Asha thought?
I saw Asha in the unexpected words of Kimidoripa. [M] Asha pulled her lips and answered nothing.
"No! No, no, no! Nooo!"
Sumeria burst out of the cafeteria screaming in tears.
I've never seen her so upset since I took her out.
After a while, the color of the dying skin had improved and the lips had recovered their gloss. It is obvious that it is thanks to the removal of the ball of talent, and although there is still a memory impairment, there is no inconvenience in living life.
It was recovering so much.
"... why didn't you let me tell you? If I said so, Sumeria would have been convinced."
I overheard that. And then Kimidorima,
"You don't have to carry so much... because you're still a child."
At that time, Kimidorima and I were separated from each other - I had the illusion of being nudged. [M]
It felt like my mother slapped her head against a crying toddler.
(Still a child...)
It's been a long time since I've been treated like this. It's been too long and I didn't know what face to look like.
Kimidori Mama thought I was "carrying a load" on what I did.
"It's better not to forget about Sumeria. No matter how much we stay here, we can make fun memories with Sumeria. Travel with no fear of retreat."
Kimidori Papa said the same thing.
"Thank you... thank you"
Even though I felt the warmth of that concern, I was still filled with the feeling of "Is this okay?"
