Section IX Visiting Anomalies

"Er... that is. What do you mean?"

Even if you can know, you don't necessarily understand everything about it. Me, Toslin, and Carol are knitting their little necks off as Kyotons. Only Mr. Rosé put his hand on his mouth and stared alternately at Mr. Quinn and Mr. Rovas, dyeing his cheeks a little.

"We're traveling in search of the right man."

"No, I'm not..."

"I just said bandits because we're bandits specializing in love."

"No, I meant to be like that..."

"I've never been able to steal one before, but we can't lose. Right? Rucki."

"Oh yes...... but I'll do my best......"

"The moment you saw Quinn at first sight, you freaked out. Oh, this man is my destiny. But fate is cruel, isn't it? This guy already has a wife, he even has kids."

Mr. Lovas is soaking tears with a handkerchief he received from Lutehorn.

"We were originally trying to get into the hot springs, but we found Mr. Quinn being attacked by goblins on the way."

"I fought so hard, there were so many passives. I couldn't protect Quinn enough. So, we came here to protect the injured Mr. Quinn. Luckily, it seems this place was in the fairies, so I could get away from the goblins..."

"I couldn't move Mr. Quinn, I found out he was wandering outside to the Golem in addition to Goblin, and I couldn't get help from the village, and I was just on my way to figure out what to do."

By the way, I hear Lutehorn hasn't seen Dark Elves anywhere near here either. Maybe he's not really here anymore...... I can't believe it, Mr. Rose lowered his head deeply toward Mr. Lovas.

"Were you... Oh, the mistake I made... I'm sorry."

"Oh, it's okay. It's okay. Thanks to you, Quinn helped. Instead, it's this way to thank you."

"Compared to your good deeds like that, it's just the end of things like what I did. It was definitely you who saved his life. Oh, Goddess, give these men your blessing. Give light to the way these men go."

Mr. Rose and Mr. Rovas hold hands and praise each other.

"Hey Rose. Didn't I have to talk to that guy of yours?

Toslin spoke on my behalf of what I was just thinking.

"Yes, that's true, but this one is not a man, so no problem"

"Ha? Uh, no... I do say women myself, but I don't care..."

"We cannot choose what we live and live in, the environment in which we are all born. If so, how can we condemn those who try to change it after birth?

He stares at Rosé, who said so in a frivolous manner, with the eyes of Mr. Rovas as if to see God.

"Rosé...... Ho, you really think so?

"Of course it is. Loving someone can be painful, but it's great. I'm still a young man, but I don't think I'm wrong in your heart trying to seek love."

Mr. Rovas even has tears in his eyeballs at Rosé's appearance and words smiling at him for saying so.

"Truth be told. I was losing confidence. No matter how much you love me, no matter how hard you try, you won't show up to me as a man of destiny. But Rosé made me brave. They cheered me up."

Mr. Lovas wiped his tears with a handkerchief and nodded.

"Let's go, Ruki-kun. To find a new encounter. And now it's time to get the love we deserve."

"Oh, uh... yes, let's do our best"

"Rosé. Let me thank you again. And if you like, take this."

Mr. Rovas removed the silver shining ring from his finger and put it on Mr. Rose's index finger. but it was a rash so I ended up being put on my thumb.

"Is this...?

"That's the ring that connects us sisters to Rosé. If you have any problems, don't hesitate to write to the address engraved on that ring. I'm sure it'll help."

Mr. Rosé stared at the ring put on his thumb for a while, but eventually nodded.

"Yes. Thank you. Let me take care of it."

Mr. Lovas, who nodded satisfactorily at Mr. Rosé's reply, turned to Mr. Quinn with a resolute expression.

"Then we'll go. Keep up the good work."

Mr. Quinn gets out of his moss bed and bows.

"Thank you. I will never forget this grace."

"No, forget it. If you have time to remember something about me, take the time to think of my beloved wife and child."

Mr. Lovas walks away as he carries his luggage in a leather bag. And Lutehorn also stopped on his feet perfectly trying to chase after him.

"Irise eh. I'll write you a letter."

Looking back shaking the long orange sauce, Lutehorn waves.

"Yeah. Because I write too. See you soon."

It was a short time, but I talked to Lutehorn a lot. We talked a lot and wanted to know more about Lutehorn. She took note of the paper at my house's address and put it in her chest pocket looking important, and made my eye lid burn a smile, and walked away.

……

Goodbye, I miss you. But I miss you more than I can. If I had a store number in a bookstore, I'm sure I would never have met Lutehorn this way. After all, a journey, an adventure is wonderful.

"Well, shall we go back too"

Toslin puts his hand on my shoulder.

"Yeah. Let's go back. I'm sure the mayor's worried about you."

"But you didn't have goblins after all. Looks like it was all because I knocked it down then. I wish I had a chance to get a reward multiplier."

"Don't be greedy. I'm escorting you, and you've never crossed without an enemy. So, Mr. Quinn, can you walk? I'll lend you my shoulder if you like."

To Toslin's offer, Mr. Quinn shook his head.

"It's okay. I'm sorry you're just here to help, but I feel so sorry for you as a man for having asked for your daughters' help on this."

"Really, I get it. Okay, let's go. You should be able to reach the village by sunset if you walk now. Rosé, let's go."

Mr. Rosé nodded, making sure of the feel of the ring he put on his finger. Thus we succeeded in helping Mr. Quinn safely and arrived on his way back to the village with enthusiasm.

But that was only a few moments before the storm we were about to visit.

With a foothold much lighter than when we come, we walk the snow path. I want to reassure the village chief and the people of the village as soon as possible. My legs are already stretched on my bread and I complain about the pain every time I move them, but now that doesn't feel bitter either.

"Hey, I don't know what's for dinner this evening"

Carol, who walks in the lead, also keeps talking from around the cave with about two increments of brightness than usual. I'm going to be talking for an hour now.

"You know what? Just don't get distracted and walk. I don't know where the goblins are yet."

Toslin squeaks like a pioneer in Carol's liveliness. Still, my gait is solid compared to what I am with some sense of balance in jeopardy.

"Bu. I know that. But I'm bored. Just walk all the way. Come on. Hey, that's what Iris would think, right?

Carol has asked me to agree to walk behind her.

"Huh? Oh, what do you think? Look, the landscape is so beautiful, and I'm not boring."

Now I'm just going back the way I came, but it's a kind of slope. If you look back, the road you've climbed runs like a gnawing stitch between the trees. The light coming out of the green canopy just reflects into the snow crystals in the air, sparkling and very fantastic.

"Check it out. Did you hear that? Don't tell me Iris is more of an adventurer."

When Toslin says that with a laugh, Carol stares at her with a jittery eye.

"So Toslin's not boring? If you watch this view, can you spare time?

"No, I can't"

"Hey..."

I'm not saying anything.

"Right? Then I hope you put your mind to dinner you haven't seen yet."

"I didn't tell you not to cheat. It's just that Mr. Quinn is here, so just be careful not to get ambushed."

"Roger, roger. So, what do you think Toslin is?

"Oh yeah...... Because I just ate the stew...... wonder what I'd like. Whatever's warm."

"If that's the case, what about stewed Barbato honey? Beekeeping is also available in that inn, so we can guarantee the flavour."

Mr. Quinn also comes onto the story and the three climb up the valley, sayingly cute.

"Wow, yummy! Nice, I'd love to eat it soon."

Toslin grinned meanly when Carol said that all the time she was still salivating.

"Well, you end up saying that meat tastes good."

Listening to the exchange of the three, me and Mr. Rosé walk side by side. Rosé's mouth is closed because of Mr. Quinn's presence. With that in mind, Mr. Rosé smiles calmly when he looks at the ring that is firmly attached to his finger.

"I was scared at first, but you were the good guys"

When I said that, Mr. Rosé looked away somewhere.

"This time I was reminded of my immaturity"

Mr. Quinn is here, so whisper so loudly, Mr. Rose.

"But even I can do something useful for someone like that. I learned that today. So...... glad"

I walk, looking at Mr. Rose's side, who looks really happy. As we approach the village, gaps are created in the green canopy and become brighter. The amount of snow laid at his feet also increases, and he plays a gummy and unique tone every time he steps on it.

"Is that it? Wait a minute."

Carol stopped us with her hands just like she was going. The gaze is much farther away and directed towards the end of the road.

"Ah..."

But this time I didn't have to ask Carol for an explanation, and I noticed the anomaly. It was the same for Toslin, Mr. Rose, and Mr. Quinn, and blinked at them uniformly.

"What... that"

Toslin groaned like a groan. Carol runs, and we follow it. Where we're going. A path of hardened snow. Let it cross, and the trees were swept down.
