I didn't know what was happening.

Look again.

Ray Rubia is the one standing clearly in front of you, even if you look around again.

I am the first human being to rise from the grave.

“You……. What's he doing here? Were you living like you used to... in Erastor? ”

You're so surprised, you can't even say it right.

not.

My body is shaking.

The soft voice of the commander, who raised me from the cold grave for the first time, touches the bone again.

A smile that had collapsed many times in front of me now blooms brightly without any wrinkles.

I'm familiar with it.

A voice you'll never get used to.

“Yes! That's right. I'm the lord.”

Lord?

Isn't Erastt now under the rule of the Tandlers?

“That……. ”

But I also wanted to know what was important.

I smelled the air deep.

Isn't she standing right in front of you?

I've forgotten all the drifting questions.

The thin grassroots questions were drawn and scattered into the spring wind.

Even knowing her properly in the open landscape is slow and slow.

I stared at her for a long time.

Eyes meet.

I couldn't hear what I was saying with my mouth open.

It was then.

You hear a thumping, rapid earthquake.

A gatherer-sized Minotaur lunges at your waist in a giant double-edged axe.

Exactly where Rubia is standing.

Grrr!

I immediately drew my sword and blocked the way between Rubia and the Minotaurs.

“Don't worry. It's the warden,” Rubia shakes her hand.

“Guards... commander? Minotaurs...? ”

“Yes, we live in a world together. ”

“The world we live in... together...? ”

Rubia is talking nonsense. I put the knife in like a charm. The Minotaur approaches you one day, shouting as loud as thunder.

“My lord! I was so worried that you disappeared without a word. Is this... the one you've always been talking about? ”

“That's right. I've worked hard, so I'll rest today! Don't look for me! ”

“Oh, that's... I'm fine... ”

“Why are you standing there? You have to deliver it to the Chancellor. ”

“Yes, yes……. ”

You stare blankly at the retreating Minotaur, as opposed to running with ease.

Rubia held my hand.

The moment I held his hand, I realized that I was holding nothing.

“Would you like to go to the castle? ”

You nod.

Every step you take

She shakes beside you.

Laughter, eyes, hair.

I was shaken.

I tried to absorb the unfamiliar situation quickly, but I couldn't because every step felt new to Rubia.

“How have you been? ”

“I……. ”

How have I been?

“I'm not sure. ”

I didn't really think of it.

She knows how she's been.

You said, "Where's the stranger?"

I smiled.

When we arrived, there were magical objects everywhere.

I was wandering around.

Among the maids, it seems more of the soldiers are not human. Rubia took me to her room.

“When was the last time you had a snowfight? ”

Snow fight.

“I did something like that.... ”

“You did it with me! You don't remember? ”

Should I call it a snowfight?

“I think I got hit unilaterally. ”

You remember that, by the way?

Rubia smiles like a girl.

“Now we can go to the spring with the flowers, the summer with the water, and the fall with the maple. ”

Her hand comes up and grabs her shoulder.

“Well, do you really need to do that with me……. ”

I tried to pull myself back.

“It's just... that you're doing well.

Seeing is enough... ”

But Rubia did not lose her strength in my grasp.

“Of course we should! ”

“... What happened to the former lord? ”

I turned the subject around.

“I'm the lord? You mean my father? ”

“... didn't you have an uncle? ”

“Uncle? Nothing like that. ”

I kept hearing that there was no such thing.

The scent intensifies.

“My father is an only child.” Really, that might not have been the case.

You don't have to be.

It was an oddly reasonable thing to say.

“We should throw a party. Everyone was just waiting for you to come. But that's tomorrow... ”

Rubia whispers softly.

“Stay here today. I have so much to tell you. Please.”

I stayed up all night talking to Rubia. Even though the time with her seems to pass quickly,

I felt like each one was cut down and stretched for a long time.

It seemed like black water was flowing out of my mind.

It was warm just by my side.

After dark, the sun came up.

Pod 'Duck!

A mattress cuts the skin of a human stomach with enormous claws and flies out the window.

Surprisingly, I was warned not to approach Rubia.

The bathtub had a letter in its claw, but it flew out the window again.

Luvia looked at me with a look on her face that she forgot to read the letter.

“Oh, there's a place to go! Lena says she completed the foundation. ”

“Lena...? Here...? ”

I talked to him all night, but I didn't hear him.

“Yes! Lena lives with me on Erastor. I'm in charge of architecture!”

“Oh my……. ”

I was surprised.

It doesn't look right at all.

Not to mention that you live here.

Lena was very sketchy about things that didn't go well with her.

Rubia explains.

“Lena is particularly friendly among us. So do what they need to do. ”

“What are you talking about? ”

“You'll see when you go! Lena is in a vacancy inside the North Gate. He really wants to see you.... ”

Glug.

Rubia closes her eyes.

She falls exhausted overnight on her pillow, laying her hood double down, and quietly slips out.

‘The North Gate. ’

I searched everywhere as I got out.

I didn't think there would be any threat.

Even the guards, which consisted of various magical objects, felt that they could be well united and strangely relieved.

When I arrived at the clearing in front of the North Gate, I saw something huge.

“Sass... Kwach? ”

Human beings were gathered in four groups where the six- to seven-metre reaper snatches that could be crushed with their pinkies were found.

What was most surprising was the fact that they were lifting a giant brick off the floor and laying an enormous amount of Mortar one line at a time on top of it. The intertwined bricks were bitten and crumpled and hardened.

Build a building.

Giant magical objects were building buildings in the human city with incredible efficiency.

‘It's a human... city, too. ’

On the way here, I looked around and realized where my strange feelings came from.

Some houses around the city are too big for humans to live in.

The more delicate finishes were dedicated to the Twin-Headed Ogres, and the others were dragging the construction materials away.

And in the middle of all that big magic,

She was there.

At first, I couldn't see very well.

It was because she was lying on the grass without standing, even though the masses were overwhelming.

Profit…….

It was a familiar whistle.

The sound Lena makes when she stabs and kills the humans who broke into the cave, and twists their swords out of their hearts.

You put an arrow in the boiling lungs, you cut an ankle in a wire, you twist it.

It was a familiar whistle that looked down at humans.

The sound of that whistle, she blows, staring at the immature blue sky with no blood or scream.

She presents her own silhouette at the leisure where the earth meets the sky.

“I... me? ”

“Ah……. ”

The silhouette slowly turned its head.

“Ahhhh!”

With a single scream, she jumped out with this ridiculous look on her face.

He hugged me.

“That……. ”

Wood Duck.

I couldn't resist the tugging force as if it were to be crushed.

I was silent, and she held me tighter as if she were enjoying more time.

“I knew you'd come one day. If you wait, you will definitely come at the last minute.... ”

You waited for me?

Since when?

What did he know, that he was waiting for me?

But it smells dark and I think it might be.

“Do you remember.... ”

“Of course it's all there! How many times have you died with me? But don't worry. Everywhere you go, it's a safe world. ”

“What... are they? ”

“My emotional connection with them worked perfectly. I mean, thank you for working for me. ”

“Oh, would you like to come to my house? ”

Lena gestures a few times at the giant magical objects, and they stop the construction as if they could understand it right away and return to the field.

In the house that was invited, there was her sister who lived with her in the nursing home, and her mother, who had died a long time ago and had never seen her.

‘That... pandant...' ’

Marjorie seems a little lethargic, but I'm pretty sure Lena's got an elegant woman on her neck who doesn't lose her kindness.

It was my mother's artifact that she gave to me several times.

After spending two whole days there talking to Lena,

Pod 'Duck!

The tannery flew in and delivered the letter again.

Lena glanced at the letter and looked at me.

“The lord's throwing a party.” You said you had a lot of people you wanted to see, and the letter ended.

It doesn't say who's coming.

I just wanted to talk to you about dinner.

“Should I go?”

The evening of the breeze, Lena grabbed my arm and went up to the party.

It was later than the time written in the letter, but the protagonist said he would show up late, so he caught me and made me move slowly.

As I was being guided, an open space appeared.

Those who wait for me at the party are all familiar.

“Ooooo!”

A myriad of greetings poured in.

Slime, Randler, Cristina, Yube, the Star Fox, and even the Werewolf Lumen were all helping Rubia.

‘Don't worry... I won't have to. ’

Surprisingly, they remembered everything that they met with me, and even those who were not really related to me wanted to ask me competitive questions and be with me.

“It's a bit burdensome.... ”

I gave Lena my heart.

“I can't help it. More than you survived leaving such spectacular footprints. There's not one or two people who want to meet. ”

“Someone wants to see me again.... ”

“Count Leandro wants to see you, too! ”

“What? Nonsense.... Please tell me I'm never there. ”

“Woohoo. You don't like it? If you'll listen to me, I will. ”

Why would he want to meet me?

I stopped by Erastor once to ask for my greetings.

After a few days, I barely had time to warm up.

There was one thing I had to do.

Pa!

You talk only to Lena and Rubia and head for the quiet mountain.

The wilderness near Erast has already scoured the landscape.

While the sun is shining well from above,

There were many places only I knew about.

‘This should be fine.... ’

You dig the ground and carefully bury Necromancer's corpse.

Then I stopped to bury the dagger together.

White letters live on top of the Black Dagger and wriggle.

We've only lasted a short time in the fight against the Marquis, but now that we've absorbed a lot of Lurium, we don't know what kind of power will be triggered in the crisis.

If you realize how to use it properly,

Perhaps Gizgerai can unleash the same incredible power he showed us.

A slightly embarrassing artifact to ask as a deputy.

‘... Let's keep this. ’

The world you saw in Erastor looks very safe, but you might not know it.

All three Daggers have been invaluably inserted into your inventory.

‘I wish Gizgerai were here too.... ’

Then why did the Necromancer die in the first place?

I feel ticklish.

It seems memorable.

The deeper I think about it, the more uncomfortable I feel somewhere.

Phew.

Instead of thinking deeply, I decided to continue digging.

I buried her deep and returned to the castle.

The city laughed endlessly. I thought there might be a suspicious crowd, a secret patrol, even a small friction.

It didn't seem to be happening.

Why do the Red Flake members feel like they're helping Rubia on Erast now?

I don't know what to think.

There's nothing to do.

Sometimes I trained the magical objects or humans who asked for guidance, and again I read books in mountains or castles.

The quiet days lasted like the calm sunlight of the afternoon. It was clear and transparent days without even one scrap of uncomfortable emotions.

Is there anything more to come back to?

skeptical

It seemed like this moment would be good to continue.

It was the only difficulty if it was difficult to see the grumblers struggling to do something good for me.

I wandered around in broad daylight without any armor on, and no human looked strangely at me.

Many people saw that I was a guest of the Lord and shook hands with admired eyes.

I spent a little longer in the mountains than in the castle.

Wouldn't it be okay to be a little separated from the humans now?

Birds chirp, butterflies bloom, and the stream is suffocating.

The weather was as good as a miracle as when it rained.

Every morning, I took out a copy of Ashton's book in the sunlight and continued reading.

Woof...!

[Remaining stats: 74 (new!)]

When I read all but one book left in my inventory, additional stats reached 74.

I was able to recover knowledge of previously absorbed Gathering, Poison, Passiveness in Desert, Forest, and Antiques.

Reading almost 100 books was not easy.

It took quite a while because of the thick, complex books, but it was done in two months.

“... Is this the end? ”

All but 'the attempt to weaken theoretical empire' are complete.

Ugh.

I opened my inventory and put in the last book I read.

I felt a subtle void.

I felt like I was forgetting something I used to feel a long time ago.

Every time I opened and closed my inventory, my senses became a little denser.

Something very important.

But the world is so happy.

Just relax a little bit.

Take a little bit of quiet sunshine.

I want to sink just a little more....

Kaaaah!

On the other side of the stacked calm, an ominous crow cries out.
