"Ish..."

Melilla floats with joy.

Ishur quickly leaned against her and held her shoulder, pulling her between the Chamber of Commerce and the house next door where she had just come out.

"You're alive!

Thankfully, my voice is unwittingly louder.

"Yeah."

Melilla uplifted her face and answered with a little embarrassment.

"Good, really good"

But it was only a few moments before she gave a happy look to the tearful Ishur.

Her smile becomes shape-only and the soft light disappears from her eyes.

"Ishur... you were back"

"Huh? Yeah."

"You know Ishur, too. Rumor has it that one of the Bersch villages in Ellistar has been captured by the Baron."

"Oh, oh."

Ishur stared at Melillah's face as she wept her tears.

A year after leaving the village, Melillah's face had become the face of a grown woman for a long time, as her cheeks were slightly lean and neat. Back then, there was still a little bit left, the childish hint of cuteness completely disappeared, and instead it is taken by a flattering beauty that makes you even feel cold.

The light of the moon sliding between the hives of the house was cutting her face open and dark, in sharp straight lines. Her grown-up cold feelings could have been due to that.

"Thought the baron would catch me when Ishur got back. I was worried, so I came to see it sometimes."

"Oh, oh."

The way she talked was also much more grown-up. The rustic feeling of the village daughter in the countryside is disappearing.

Because I'm in Ellistar?

No, wait a minute.

"Ishur went to Frontera with someone from the Chamber of Commerce, didn't he? But the village came to that, so I thought I'd come back to this city. If Ishur."

Melilla keeps talking unilaterally.

This discomfort.

What's this feeling of hers?

Why is she here? Did they get away well?

You didn't think he was out working somewhere before the village was attacked? No, I didn't hear that...

"Wait a minute."

Ishur said by stopping Melillah from trying to keep talking.

"I'm sorry. Where is Melilla now? No way......"

She turned her face and stared at the Chamber of Commerce wall in front of her. And I said with a smile on my face.

"It's Baron's place."

Is that still the case?

The cold fills Ishur's entire body.

But in case you escaped well from the raid in Brigal and were protected by the village's bereaved or someone else, if you were, you would have been glad.

This look of Melilla that has changed. The identity of this feeling.

……

Ishur was beaten down and desperately held on to his mind and body, which was about to tremble.

And I stared at her ready.

I'm about to cry, but I could've caught a horrible, sharp eye.

"I know it's gonna be hard, but can you tell me what it was like to be a village"

She turned off her smile. And I answered with my side facing.

"You already know Ishr, don't you? What happened to the village"

"Oh."

She already knows what happened to me in the village of Bersch, and so does she. That's good. I would have conveyed it well with my attitude earlier.

But I feel uncomfortable.

Did I say buy it? Frontera?

Surely she'll know I work for the Frontera Chamber of Commerce. Even this place will know as soon as you ask someone.

Somebody? To who?

Buy it, who told you that?

Did you hear that in the Merchant Guild?

What the hell is this feeling of Melilla......

Ishl's suspicions swirl heavily with boiling despair and anger.

"I know more or less by looking into it. But I'm sorry. This is something I really have to ask. You can skip what Melilla really doesn't want to talk about. So."

Melillah has only looked at Ishur for a moment. And then I took my gaze off again, and when I had a thin, self-derisive grin about whether I understood what Ishur meant correctly, I began to talk firmly.

"At first I had no idea what had happened. I was sewing with my mother at home that day."

I wonder what you're looking at, a dark shadow in her eyes.

"Around lunch, suddenly the village, the square, was more noisy, and my father, who was out in the field, returned. And he told us not to go out of the house, but to hide behind him, and he flew out of the house with a spear. Soon after that, a lot of soldiers arrived... and me and my mothers were all surprised. For the most part, it may have been a long time before the soldiers came into the house... so when we were captured by the Baron's soldiers and brought to the front of Bersch's house, the village grownups, the men, were almost killed. Maybe my father, maybe Ishr's father."

Melilla doesn't see eye to eye. Keep staring at the wall, keep smiling and talking.

"Everyone's body was piled up at the end of the Bersch family property. My mother and I, all the survivors of the village we were brought to, were crying. But it soon became quiet, too"

Melillah has there again looked to Ishur only for a moment.

"Because whoever cried out loud and stormed and resisted was mercilessly killed in front of us. Then a knight like that asked me if anyone knew the magic of the wind that the witch in the woods had. I have never heard such a thing before."

"And then, one by one, you were pulled out and interrogated by the Baron"

Ishur took over Melillah's words.

Melilla was still smiling. But with a smile on his face, his speaking voice shuddered.

"That's right. One, two or three of us from each family, they call us in and take us behind the Bersch mansion. Sometimes I hear screams from behind. We were shuddering, surrounded by the Baron's soldiers. I was so scared. And when our turn came nigh, one of the knights in fine armor came, and forcibly pulled one of me out with an obnoxious face. then."

Melilla couldn't help but cover her face with both hands.

Ishur embraced Melillah. For a while she continued to tremble in Ishur's arms.

After a while, only a little, her tremors subsided.

She stayed put and talked again while Ishl held her.

"That's when I said my final goodbye to my mother, Emeli and grandma. I was taken by one of the knight's men and locked in a storeroom in the back of the mansion. All that day, I heard screams from the outside sometimes, and I kept trembling alone in the room. Late at night, it gets quiet, and then the baron comes in..."

Melilla softly stepped out of Ishur's arms, with another pulling grin in tears.

I kept talking with a smile on my face.

"I somehow knew what the Baron had been trying to do, and I resisted the tears. Then the baron beat me to death, and I lost my mind. After that."

"Enough. That's enough."

Ishur grabbed her shoulders and tried to make her stop talking.

But she continued the conversation with a pulling grin.

"... it hurts so much, it was over when I woke up. The baron has a pretty face, but the little girl is boring, you know?"

But I couldn't do more than that. Melillah couldn't stand and brought it to Ishur.

She kept crying without a voice as Ishur held her again.

After a while, too,

"Thank you. I'm fine now"

Melillah let her body go from Ishur and, thanking her, she stood alone again and continued the conversation.

Ishur lowered his hands powerlessly as he lifted up to hug her. From her, it seemed only slightly clear in her heart that she would reject him. It felt that way.

"I was still locked up after the Baron left the room. I guess about lunch the next day. Not wearing armor, one of the young men came into the room, and one of the men tendered me, and took me out of the room. He went out of the mansion without even matching the baron, and the villagers were gone, but he brought me to Ellistar with him on his horse."

So Melillah looked into Ishur's eyes and smiled. Without a heart or a natural grin with a pull.

"When I got to Ellistar, they took me to the big house in the castle and put me in the servant's room in the attic. She asked me to live here for a while. He called out to me to be nice to one of the servants on the same floor, who seemed to be a good person in the castle. At that time, he told me that my family was no good either. At first, I was locked from the outside except at dinner or when the person was coming."

So she turned away from Ishur, and swallowed her spit,

"In the meantime, I was told that I would never be able to lock my room, and that I could be free for a little while."

"Were you..."

Sadness, anger, fear, and Ishur's chest, where many things seemed to swirl, are covered with a different cold than just now. His boiling consciousness cooled rapidly and he became calm.

"... so?

"I was a servant of the castle, and there was a relative in the village of Bersch, one of whom gave me a lot of trouble, and I had him put out of the castle a few times. I had one of them look into the location of this shop where Ishr works."

"Right..."

Ishur smiled slightly and nodded to show.

Poor Melilla.

It was probably Verse in the family order who took her out of the village.

"What happened to Isaac and the villagers?

She, too, may be feeling strangely calm and uncomfortable about Ishur's attitude.

The ones in the village, and who Ishur is offering, Melilla will pass without a problem. We've all grown up together in the same village.

"I don't know.... I don't think everyone could have done it. I'm sorry. Neither Ishl's mother nor Lucell."

"Mother and Lucell will be fine"

Ishur laughed thinly this time at Melillah, who might have begun to weep with vegetables for the first time.

He showed her a stoneless ring that got stuck in his left hand pharmacopoeia.

"This is what my mother used to do. The two remains could be found. I buried it in the village cemetery."

Melilla's eyes open wide.

……

Ishur took out a cloth cut he was using to handkerchief from his nostrils and wiped her eyes full of tears. I washed it at noon.

She smiled as she used to.

And a little upbeat, I've heard it like it used to be.

"The stone is missing... Did the soldier just take the jewels?

The sadness hasn't disappeared but the tone has softened a bit.

Melilla, who speaks vegan, is a fifteen-year-old simple village daughter. This is who she is.

"If you want to take it, take it every ring."

Ishur stared firmly at Melilla from the front as he lowered his left arm.

"It's more dangerous to be in a castle than that. Let's get out of this city right now with me. Get out of the baron's reach. I have that one. If you let me handle it, I'll be fine. You don't have to worry, do you?

Melilla let her eyes swim only for a moment. Just for a moment.

When she held onto that little upset, she made another smile and stared back at Ishur.

The rustic feeling just now is that the old feeling has disappeared.

"But Ishur came back to make enemies of the village, right? You're back to make enemies of Ishr's father and mother, aren't you? I know. That's why I'm over there."

Melilla's eyes are closed.

"I will never forgive Brigal. I'll avenge you."

Surely what she says will include both the truth and her true feelings.

"I'll do that alone. I want Melilla to stay safe."

"But what can Ishur do alone? With my help, it's easy to get inside the castle. Even Bulgar's bedroom will soon find out."

Melilla has turned a strong gaze.

Sure, her resentment of the Baron, her vengeance, would be real.

But is that all she wants?

She didn't come aboard this invitation.

That time, if I had stayed her when I left the village, she might have listened to me and followed me.

If she would follow me, I would have put my vengeance on the Baron behind me, and I would have gone to Frontera and left it with Seville and Imal. The hassle of going back and forth to Frontera, the revenge on the Baron later, even though it's nothing like that.

She has changed. That's right. That's what happened. Nobody can stay the way they were. But that's not all.

If I had no memory of my previous life, how shocked and painfully depressed would I have been if I had been just fifteen boys born in a rural village?

... but it's not.

"Right. Maybe you're right. But I've already figured out how to kill them."

And Ishur said unto Melillah, unto him that is behind her.

She's not on this side anymore. She's on the other side.

She and Verse are connected.

She has probably become a running dog for Verse.

The house arrest was lifted in the castle, and access was free. Yet why stay in the castle.

To avenge the Baron? Surely it would be easier to be in the castle. That's where you waited for collaborators like me to show up? Is Melilla trying to hide it from Verse and get revenge on the Baron?

It won't. There's no way she could have checked the baron's bedroom on her own and pulled me into the back of the castle. She knows that best herself.

Her story, which suddenly became unnatural, snapped together. Bad lie.

Has she really been coming to see the Frontera Chamber of Commerce for a long time? You think I'm coming back from "buying”?

Since when did she go to the Frontera Chamber of Commerce to see if I was coming back to Ellistar?

Involvement of Verse...... If this is about the last few days.

If so, how did you know I was back in Ellistar?

Someone who senses that he infiltrated Ellistar that night, and who knows my identity. There's no way there's such a thing.

But it's not like I don't have a clue.

I know they are connected, who should say the Baron family, Verse and Tsaf, no Stena.

Two days ago, an unidentified boy showed up, who bought information about what happened in the village of Bersch and the Baron's house from Tuaf.

Suppose Verse gets that information from Tsaf in the last two days.

It is possible to have Merilla come to the Chamber of Commerce at this time, assuming that she is the same person as a boy named Ishur, an apprentice, who works for the Frontera Chamber of Commerce.

But how does it connect with the unidentified boy who was buying information from Tuaf and Ishur, a boy who works for the Frontera Chamber of Commerce? I mean, do you know what I'm like or what I do?

I don't know where it is.

Unless Tuaf and Stena share each other's memories, if Tuaf is actually perfectly normal and everything about his attitude toward himself was an act, there's no other way to identify me. I don't think Mora's story was a lie.

If Melilla were added there, would it be possible?

Isn't that an impossible story?

Besides, why is Melilla, no, Verse inviting me?

"Ishl?"

"Oh, sorry"

"You're already thinking about stepping..., what do you mean? What are you trying to do?

Melilla asks questions.

With your index finger toe against your lips and your neck clenched.

"Tell me because I want to help too. Right?"

Melilla......

"I can't help but talk about it now. I'm going to decide tomorrow night."

"Huh..."

Melilla gave her a thoughtful look.

"No, it's too steep. I have to look into it too... oh, no way on the harvest feast..."

How far does Verse know? How far is he talking to Melilla?

"That's right. Set it up at a harvest feast held at the Baron's house"

You don't have to hide this. Instead, it would be better to pass this information on to them, from Tuaf, Melilla, and other sources, roughly knowing how far they know about me and how to handle it.

Ishur smiled at Melilla.

"That sounds pretty funny, doesn't it?

"Uh, yeah."

She answered as she ate. I nodded one breath late.

"If Melilla can't work together until another day, I'll do it alone."

I can clearly see she's confused. But I think I'm serious about something.

"... ok. I'll help too. What am I supposed to do?

She has been saying for a little while. They were able to decide whether there was any prospect or not, something.

"Right. Can you get inside the castle so the barons and the knights don't suspect you? I think I will be deceived as a guest invited to a feast because I will be dressed in more beautiful expensive clothes on the day."

"Okay. Is that all you need?

There's no way I could have done that to a village girl who was in a position to be placed under house arrest in a middle room.

Here and now, should we ask her forcefully, and tell her what Verse is like, and force her away from him, from the Baron's?

But I don't understand the purpose of the one who bothers to invite me. Melilla is probably not informed of everything.

Neither will they know that I am the owner of Lene's Wind Magic Fixture. If Verse or the Baron, if they knew, they wouldn't be using these hands.

If they had known, at least at this moment, neither Melilla nor I would have been safe. Haven't we been buried around here by now with the Knights of the Barons, the soldiers? I just have the ability to detect people's signs on a fairly wide scale, no matter where they are in the building, even in the middle of the night. Still no sign of anyone suspicious around. I don't feel alone.

"Oh, that's enough."

Ishur nodded, making a smile that was no different from the previous smile on Melilla.

"Then, in the evening, when the castle bell rings, come to the back of the garrison. There's a common gate."

A castle bell is a bell provided at the top of the fifth tower, northwest of the five towers that soar in the castle. In addition to an emergency such as a fire, it is rang at sunrise and sunset. The castle's garrison is outside the castle surrounded by walls, on the west side of the castle.

"Behind the barracks, behind the walls."

"Yeah."

And she nodded, and went out to the side of the table.

A miracle reunion, is it just an exaggeration?

But it's a lot lighter.

But you don't have a choice. I guess I'm going to have to rush to let someone in the Baron's house know what I said. It's tomorrow, so we don't have much time.

"Good luck tomorrow."

"Oh."

When she waves hard at Ishur, she leaves the street north at a foot speed.

Her shadow, illuminated by the moon, stretches long north.

Ishur bowed herself as she jumped up to the roof of the next house without a sound, observing where she was going.

After a while, his magical detection also caught something new moving.

About two hundred long steps from here (about one hundred and thirty meters) away, one person came out of the shadow of the building. The path is illuminated by the moon and barely visible to the naked eye. Melilla rushes over to the person. The two turned right at the end of the road as they were, disappearing.

I don't know if that's Verse. But I'm sure it belongs to the Baron family.

There are also hands that follow the two to the castle and sneak straight into the castle, eavesdropping on that conversation about whether Melilla and Verse's, or the barons, will join them, but there is also a good chance that they will not be able to see or sneak in, depending on where they are headed in the castle.

Melilla......

Killing Verse is easy. I'm also thinking about what to do with the Baron, the performance.

The problem is probably Melilla being tricked and manipulated by Verse. We have to save her somehow.

We have to get Melilla away from them after making sure she understands herself to be deceived.

This is the place to go into a tiger hole. Let's jump into the strained trap over there.

The one with all these sloppy traps, he'll have to ask a lot of questions.

Ishur leaves. As he looked over at them, he flew to the roof of the next chamber of commerce and went to the one behind the building with the usually unused empty room, he hung his head down from the roof and stabbed a knife in the gap of the armor door in that room to pull up the inner candle.

The window armor in this room is slightly gutted, with a slight gap between the left and right doors.

When Ishur opened the armor door, he entered the room and headed to his room on the same second floor. In the dark, I enter my room without any confusion at all, and when I light a small candle in the room, I change my clothes and get dressed up for the trip. Collect the gold coins hidden behind the ceiling. Three for the rest. The newly dressed clothes Ishur once wore when he went to the castle and looked like a baron. Originally from Imal.

The sword of my father's shapes, which he was carrying on his back, is removed, and he leaves it at the Chamber of Commerce, together with a backpack with his traveling outfit. The luggage is hidden outside the building, on the back of the ground floor, behind it, where two old wooden barrels are placed side by side.

Tomorrow, if anything happens at the castle, stop by the Chamber of Commerce and collect your baggage before leaving Eristal.

Ishur shrugged, silently prepared for the feeling of violently shaking, and left the Chamber of Commerce early.

It is more dangerous to stay in the Chamber of Commerce for longer than this has happened.

Ishur paid full attention to his own rear as well and headed to the slums.

As Ishur returned to the bottom of the bridge, he sat with both legs beside the sleeping children. Lower your head to sleep and think down.

At that time, her white face floats on her lid, rising from under the shadow divided by the light of the moon.

The misfortune that befell Melilla and the present situation.

I couldn't stay asleep like this.

Again, a year ago, when I left the village, should I have forced myself to take her out? Or after a few months or so when I was used to working for the Chamber of Commerce, should I have picked her up?

But I couldn't do that.

It's about getting the magic of the wind, examining the magic in detail, adventuring, looking around the world, abandoning your dreams.

You can't take her with you who has no ability whatsoever, who is just a village daughter. Even if I can't take her, I'm just putting her in danger. I can't stay with her wherever she is trying to get her out of the village. She could be alone and put in a lonely situation. I don't think that's going to do her any good. I'm not going to live up to her feelings.

That's what I thought, even though I left her in the village and entrusted it to Isaac, who was counting on her.

The Isaac one, what were you doing! I can't help complaining about it now, etc. Such a thing is just an eight-win hit. Isaac was probably dead, too.

I can't help but regret the past now. Moaning and grieving doesn't change anything.

Now I need to figure out why Verse and the others are trying to put me in a trap, get her away from them, and rescue her.

Ishur looked up and stared at the river surface that rocked the moonlight. The stream of the river becomes dark when it goes under the shadow of the bridge, completely erasing its intricate expression.

I'm very concerned, I have something to think about.

First of all, why did Verse, the Baron, get to know himself and what was going on here?

I'm pretty sure there's information leaking from Tuaf to the Baron's side that someone is looking into the Bersch village and Brigal's movements, so why did you even identify me with that?

Will it be possible if Melilla is added there?

It's a total speculation, but if you think about it, actually, it's not entirely unlikely.

That's if Verse had asked Tsaf, for example, what the style was of those who bought information about the Baron's house in the Bersh village raid.

Suppose, for example, that Tsaf answered Verse's question that the man would come to terms with a slightly small, child-faced boy, about fifteen years old, but with the words and deeds of an adult-faced loser who was accustomed to doing so. Verse tells Melilla about it in some fold. At that time, Merrilla would immediately say that it might be Isul, if she added that the boy might be from the village of Bersh, because she was looking into the Bersh raid.

In the past year or two, no boy has come out of the village of Bersch to work in Ellistar but Ishur.

She knows I work for the Frontera Chamber of Commerce, and it's easy to find out where the Chamber is. Two days after I went to the informant's store in Tsaf, that's not an impossible story.

So if Verse asks Melilla to go to the Chamber of Commerce and have a look at it even in the middle of the night at a time when he seems certain that he might be lurking in the Chamber of Commerce, I can explain that she was at the Chamber that time.

But she didn't just come to make sure I was in the Chamber of Commerce.

She has invited me here. I want revenge on the Baron, too, and if I want revenge on the Baron, I will help.

Her invitation to a mixture of performances that are too unnatural and, by the way, poor. You can see it from there, too blatant a trap.

That's too sloppy. Just to be clear, how far are they asking about me from Tsaf?

The informant Tsav has information about me, the people involved in the Ginova Mansion raid, the suspected big man behind it, the owner of the knowledge and upbringing that can tell if a copy of Uncle Borderline's letter is authentic..., I guess Tsav hasn't divulged all that information to the Baron or Verse. It also contains uncertain information. For a moment, be careful, I may be telling you about it, but if I had told you all the information and guesses he had, you would never come into contact with me here from the Baron's side. I think everyone is a dangerous opponent.

I wonder if the baron's side has not been informed of that information and has decided from Melillah's testimony that he was close to the same village as her, a boy who is just a little smart, that is, just a rural child who is the same as Melillah. That's why I've been asking you out so much. Tsaf's information also means that he is only a mouthpiece at his age, and that he can be as much of a palm as Melilla.

That'll be good. But why did you bother inviting me to be such a country boy?

Something's going on, but I don't know.

In the end, the conclusion is the same even if we go over the discussion. I don't know any more. We'll have to check this out with them tomorrow. Before I kill you.

But nevertheless, Tuaf, no, you stena. You're gonna do a lot of crap.

Certain information, uncertain information, information that will not be made known….

Because of him, the people around him are swinging like good. Even this one complicated the situation and caused a troublesome situation.

Well, thanks to him, I could see Melilla, I can't say.

Ishur stared at the bright black river surface beneath the bridge and smiled secretly and gruesomely.

Yucky, yucky, but shaky.

Ishur opened his thin eyes and there was Meena's face in front of him.

"Uncle......, stay, wake up"

Uncle?

Ishur jumped to momentum.

There's a cape laying down there. I don't remember it clearly, but since then, they've slept with a proper cape on their own to keep their clothes clean.

"I'm not your uncle. I'm an old lady."

Ishur just woke up. Camill is laughing behind the barbecue meena.

Ishur glanced at the view from under the bridge. It seems a long time has passed since the night dawned from the feeling of the sun hitting the building, the feeling of the shadows.

Not good.

"I'm sorry. Let's go to the temple immediately."

Ishur took the children and just headed to the temple.

"Do you mind if I do this?"

In front of me sits the elderly temple chief. The old cleric has given Ishur one small piece of paper.

The receipt of Ishur's donation of 10,000 seals to the Temple and one gold coin is limited to the case of expensive donations, but two copies of the same are made on the recipient side and on the donated side.

In both copies of his receipt, Ishur demanded an endorsement from the Temple Chief that they both conduct education on language and ecclesiastical teaching. Now for once, Kamil and Meena will have the assurance that they will be educated to become clerics.

By the way, it is customary for expensive donors to post wooden and bronze plates with names, amounts, etc. anywhere near the main entrance of the temple, which Ishur refused.

"Thank you"

Ishur received his receipt and smiled and thanked him.

No, no, no, no. The old cleric nodded again and again with a full grin.

Camill and Meena, the middle-aged goddess of yesterday, came out into the hall with the entrance and exit of the temple, the room in the middle of the temple where Ishur had three.

When Ishur first approached the goddess, he gently handed him about ten pieces of silver coins, he said.

"Best wishes to you both"

"Yes. That's it already"

The goddess also has a full smile.

There will be elephants, all sorts of children in the orphanage. The same goes for those who look after them. It's important to keep your hands on her so that you both get some good treatment in it.

Ishur put his hands on the two heads as he bent in front of them, and said:

"Good luck to you both. You have to study hard."

"Yeah."

"Are you saying your name is Sakoh?

In response to Meena, who nods honestly, Kamil has asked Ishur if he was peeking into the pseudonym Ishur signed the receipt and other documents.

For better or worse, Ishur's name will be spread to the kingdom from now on. Thinking about the two, Ishur used a pseudonym.

It is not natural to use a pseudonym against the Temple, but if nobles or large merchants donate to the Temple, they may use a pseudonym. Besides, he is not particularly faithful, like so many people on this continent, nor does he fear the diocesan Church or God.

Ishur looked at the two ears and whispered softly.

"The real name is Ishur," he said. It's a secret. "

A salute to the cleric and goodbye to Kamil and Meena in tears, Ishur left the temple.

When I looked to the left, I could see the running backs of the orphanage children who were peering inside. I recognize one of them.

Ishur quickly caught up with them with a magical assist of the wind, holding down the collar of a familiar child, a child who once wore Ishur's purse.

The child hardens his body and turns around.

Ishur laughed and said to the child, who looked up at him like he was evil.

"I missed him then. Say hello to those two kids."

Stretch out in front of the temple, walking down the widest path in the Glades.

After a while I turned around, Kamil and Meena were waving in front of the temple. He looked like he was going to cry when he broke up with you two, but now he's smiling.

Ishur smiles back at them too.

When Ishur turned his heel back, he walked again down the path in front of the temple. A smile disappears from that face.

After this, you'll be killing a lot of people at night.

That's not all because I spent a lot of money and did everything I could to help those two children, because it was simply pathetic, superimposed on my child in a previous life and I got emotional.

Wasn't there some sort of distorted compensatory act there that tries to lighten the consciousness of sin that you're about to bear, to maintain your own balance of mind, something like that?

It was for myself that I helped the two children. It's not hypocrisy, can you completely deny it?

But that's fine, I think.

The end of Lehne, the end of Stena, and possibly also Tuaf......

Just a little. That can be fake. of previous life, of this world, justice, morality, good sense, humanity, gentleness, whatever. If you can keep touching the natural things that everyone has, even at the tip of their fingernails, you won't have to turn the same end to those who have become too self-destructive obsessed with what they seek, it seems so.

Know the magic. Seek strength. Know the world......

Because I'm probably going to go down the same path as them from now on.

Unlike them, you have to grasp your future.

Then Ishur went to one, to the square on the western outskirts of Ellistar.

Around the well in the square, just like yesterday, the slums washed their bodies, washed their clothes, chatted, and sometimes had a humble laugh.

There were also appearances of children playing in the square. Sometimes the children also heard a tall voice.

Ishur sat with his back in the corner of the square, in the trunk of a tree, not thinking about anything in particular, but spending a blur until the evening.

And when the sun leaned, he rose up, and began to walk east of the city, toward the castle.

Through the city, standing in front of a soldier field on the west side of the castle, a bell sounded announcing the sunset from the castle that soars in the front.

The sound of the bell is not as loud as it sounds all over the city. But the sound was heavier than I thought, and even though I heard it several times around the city, it felt like the first time I heard it from Ishur.

The area was completely sunny and dim. The squad yard is covered in grass with a lower length half on the north side and is also used as a stable. Further north are reed-covered wetlands, rather than marshes.

On the north side of Ellistar Castle, on a small high hill, there was a swamp. I know very well that it used to be a suitable terrain for building a castle fortress. The squad yard in front of you used to be a wetland, and it was later landfilled.

Ishur turned to the castle. In front of the castle's soaring hills are buildings such as barracks and stables. Between the buildings, one girl was seen standing. She appears to be dressed as a servant, a maid of honor, but Ishur quickly found out that the girl was Melillah.

Likewise, she must have admitted that the boy who stood at the edge of the squad was Ishul. Dim, from this distance I can only see her face as a small white contour, but I can clearly see looking at this one.

There are no signs of people in the barracks or in the stables. I wonder if the castle soldiers are on guard for the harvest feast, or if the lay people are rolling out to the pleasure streets as well.

She is alone, waiting for Ishur to come.

As before, there's nothing like her putting her hand up against Ishl and waving at her.

As the bell rang, Ishur walked straight down the praetorian field towards Melilla.
