Shadow Brave's Readventure - Re-Tale of the Brave

The funeral of Bronzite the Wise, which was to take place somewhere in the Empire of Entesia. Kite, who finished rescuing Sora and Toryn, was supposed to be in on it. That's how he broke up with Sola, who attended as a Bronzite apprentice, and Kate was sitting in a seat of public participation to attend a Bronzite funeral.

……

Such is the gaze of Kate, but it was directed at a certain attendee as he watched Acoya move to perform the funeral.

(That's...)

It was an old woman who looked like a young couple and a man. Both of them look pretty good. And apparently, this lady is a pearl. A second core was visible on the chest, a testament to the Pearls.

"Bushev's number of millionaires... its a young couple"

Bushev. That's where the kites are right now. Among them, this young couple seems to be one of the most millionaires and a serious family. The old lady on the side is the mother of the man. but that's why I'm never invited here. I was invited here for a good reason.

"After all, it seems complicated"

At the end of Kate's gaze, there was a complicated expression, Toryn. His gaze was directed at his mother, not at the young couple.

……

Kate is slightly troubled by the intricate look of Toryn. Kite had been informed of a few secrets by the Bronzites. That's the secret we haven't even told Akoya and the others yet. In time, the cause of Toryn's complex expression was the secret that Kate revealed at his request after Bronzite's death.

"No... now, let's focus on the funeral"

With Toryn's intricate expression sidelined, Kate decides to focus first on Bronzite's funeral. And apparently, it was the start time of the funeral while I was in the middle of something. A cleric from the Temple City arranged by Kate comes and Acoya offers her condolences. Essentially, the funeral of the Pearls is no different from what is common in Enefia.

And the general funeral in Enefia is similar to a Western-style funeral, to put it on Earth. If not, prayer is offered to God or the Great Spirit, or so on. Regardless, there are other fine differences.

……

Kite, dressed in a courtesy dress, bows one head to the bronzite bone. Thus, when he hands the shard of his second core, he puts it on the magic prop that was placed next to the bone. Then the second core was crushed to dust. Kite grips it once and for all.

"... Lord Bronzite. Three hundred years ago, I made this peace with you... and I swear by my name, I will keep it."

With his fist gripping the shattered Bronzite's second core against his chest, Kate lowers her head small and vows in a low voice to Bronzite. This one is not a Pearl modus operandi, but it would seem like him when it comes to being like him.

That's how he swore to the Bronzite. He pulls out the power of his clenched fist, hands back in front, and slowly opens his fist. There, a breeze blew.

……

Kite sadly dropped off the blown and flying Bronzite core. That's how all the shards of the core flew away, and Kate holds her fist only once and bows her head again. Now we're almost done with what he needs to do at this funeral. Later, funerals will be held by mourners and invited clerics of the Great Temple of the Earth.

"... the Great Spirit of the earth. Now one of your family will return to the earth. Please accept it gently."

That's how the clergy swore and prayed for the newly created tomb next to the woman Bronzite loved. So after it was over, the priest nodded one to Akoya, the mourner.

"This will be the last time you can see the dead. Please, gentlemen. Be quiet."

As he looks at Akoya, who stood on the edge of the hole with his bones in his arms, the priest tells him with whom he has joined. It's already in the bone and I can't see it, you might think, but this seems good. The bones are also made of soil, and they see no greater difference in the Pearls than in the flesh of the dead.

Thus, Acoya used a dedicated pedestal to deliver the bones to the tomb. Basically, the traditional funeral of the Pearl tribe consists of two cremations and a burial. After the body is dusted, it is delivered to a bone that can be returned to the earth and buried.

Either way, there are several ways to do it. Moreover, mourners had several other manoeuvres to protect besides this. He asked Akoya for a mourner to learn it.

"... then, Lord Akoya"

"... Yes"

The cleric tells me that Akoya can soil the grave with his bare hands. The tomb is not so big. Therefore, even bare hands were good. And after he covered the soil, a cleric urged him to bury him in Toryn beside him.

"Okay, next one, too."

The cleric urges me, and Toryn can cover the soil with his bare hands. So the other participants repeated it, and Sola and Kite also covered the earth with their hands.

……

The bones were completely covered and the cleric bowed one head to the participants.

"Now the funeral is over. This makes the dead one with the earth, and always with you. Please, don't forget that."

A cleric announces the end of the funeral to the attendees. That's how he left. That concludes it all as a funeral. Those who return may do so.

"... done, or"

"... really, you lost your master"

Sora mutters so with some strange face towards Kite, who stood beside Sora, who was attending as one of her disciples. The funeral is for the dead and for the living. As a result, it seems that Sola has been divided again.

"Oh...... Sola. I'm sorry to rush, but we'll be leaving in a little while. Keep your watch."

"Oh......"

Having told her what to tell her, Kate turns her back on her heels trying to do it alone for a little while. And that's how the old lady ahead stood where she turned.

"Um... may I have a moment?"

"Ah, yes. What's the matter, sir?

"Mr. Sola Tenjo, is that... you?

"No...... Sola"

After being questioned by the old lady, Kate calls out to Sola, who was still looking at Bronzite's grave beside her. Besides, Sola turned around again.

"Hmm?"

"You, Mr. Sola Tenjo?

"Oh, yes... Excuse me, but what about you?

One nod to the old lady's inquiry, Sola, naturally, but there was no face-to-face with the old lady. That's why the old lady named me after him when I asked him surprisingly.

"Marin, I say. At first, I'm a pearl... I don't have any letters (bruises) for a reason. It's my real name, but never mind. Oh, I wonder if it's gonna be aquamarine, to be exact."

That's what the classy old lady said and laughed when she named her. There's a core in her chest like that that resembles aquamarine, and I guess that comes from it. Later, she said it was my mother's name.

"Ah, ha... so, what can I do for you?

"No… the last disciple, because I asked"

"No way... you too?

"No, you don't. You don't seem to know that. What shall we do…"

I'm in trouble. In that way, Marin comes to a face of trouble. Apparently, every single one of them was good, and there was a good product that made me feel good about growing up somewhere. When you think about your sons, you can say she's pretty noble, too. Maybe it was natural. Nevertheless, I was therefore surprised to see what sora had to do with herself.

"Um... what's going on?

"No... I wanted to hear from someone named Toryn... but he doesn't know how it is..."

"If you're Toryn, I know. It's a good time to say" partner. "

"No, that's not it."

Marin is the same troubled face against Sola, who clearly undertook it. Besides, Kate pinched her mouth.

"Mr. Marin."

"Oh?"

"I'm Kite Heavenly Sound. He is the guild master of the guild to which he belongs. I wish you luck this time."

"Thank you"

Marin bows one head to the words of Kate, who bowed his head and prayed for the blessings of Bronzite. That's how, once again, Marin asks.

"So, what happened to Mr. Guildmaster?

"... let me tell you about you to Toryn. Other than that, we've heard about it from Lord Bronzite."

"Oh... I was. That means you're the one he said."

In response to Kite, Marin nodded as if she was good at it. So she nods like she's relieved and starts talking to Kite.

"From my father, I heard about him. So, I'd like to talk to you once... if you ask me, you think I just got out of one of those things at the Miniera the other day? I can't let you do that."

"Thank you for your consideration. Both of you, just as soon as we get out of here. I'm not feeling well either..."

I was still in a bad environment for a year. Though Sora had also grown exponentially as a combat force, she had not yet fully returned in terms of strength and physical fitness. Leesha, who brought us here in anticipation of what would happen, said it would be better to take a month off until it was completely demobilized.

"Yeah... I thought so too, and I just wanted to invite you home when I settled down... but I was a little concerned about Toryn's eyes looking at me. I wonder how much that guy taught me."

"... Was I? Did you hear about him?"

"So... did I? What did my father say?

"... and ultimately leave it to me,"

Seeing how Kate looked slightly surprised, Marin also apparently understood the approximation. Ask Kite one question, and Kite answers honestly. So, taking it, she sighed unfortunately.

"Yes... I really wanted to talk to you..."

"... right... I'd like to talk to you now and think a little more. Lord Bronzite also told me at the end that I would decide..."

You sound like my father.

"haha......"

Kite laughs again at Marin, who laughed at her own response. And that's where my voice rang from behind me.

"Mother, the carriage is here. Did you talk about a guy named Toryn?

"Yeah...... then, I'm sorry. Oh, yeah. Can you give me a minute?

Marin offers that to the kites when she nods one to the words of her son, who came to call. That's how when she rang one hand, a squire woman appeared.

"Ma'am. What's up?

"Give this man his business card. And this, uh... that was Kate Heavenly Sound. Please let me know if anyone from Sola or Toryn comes to the store or the house."

"I did...... Dear Heavenly Sound. This way."

A maid on Marin's instructions handed Marin's business card to Kite. It was their family business card, but that would be enough.

"Thank you. Sure, I took care of it. Soon, it won't be... sometime."

"Thank you. Well, please. Please be with me then, Sola."

"Ah, yes. Must."

To Kate's euphoria, Marin laughs at one and bows her head. Thus, she also bowed her head small to Sola and boarded an elegant carriage with her son and squire, returning to the city. Looking at that back, Sola, who answered because she was told for now, asked Kite.

"... who was it?

"... the daughter of Lord Bronzite."

"Heh!?

Sora opens her eyes to see Marin again in the presence of Bronzite's daughter, who was abruptly revealed. If I recall that, I did find Marin's face somewhere similar to that of a bronzite.

At first I thought it was because of the Pearls, but my real daughter would be convinced. And so I thought back on Sola, and realized that there was a verse that I thought of.

"No... Mr. Marin. You said Father..."

"Oh... it's my daughter. Even so, he didn't know it until quite recently... but it was only in the meantime that I found out. They had a lot going on."

……

Listening to Kate, Sola reminds me of Toryn's strangely complicated face. So I smiled one bitterly and turned to Kite.

"Bad. Kate, can you just wait for the carriage?

"... aye. That's my partner."

"Wa"

To Kite's understanding, Sora laughs one bittersweet smile and bows her head. That's how he decided to go to his best friend, who became his partner.
