Getting there is fun, but going home is even more fun.
It was the first time in a few days that I had made it to the giant gates of Zebuldia, the capital of the empire.
There were a lot of things going on when I got there, and I stopped by, but it wasn't long before I got home.
Anyway, we're only going...
So return to me and count with your fingers up.
Me and Liz, Citrie and Tino, Crociro. Seven in Hyiro, and me and Liz, Citrie, Tino and Lucia on the way home. Seven in Anthem to Luke. If you calmly count, there is no increase or decrease in the number of people.
And... Regardless of Crosillo, where did Mr. Hylo go... I totally forgot.
I don't have a problem with the collar because it was after it was removed, and I guess it was gone because I haven't seen my face since then, but I think I wanted to say goodbye as much as I wanted to.
Lucia, who was reading the book, realizes how I am and gives her a face.
"No way, have you forgotten something? Leader."
"... no. Well, come on."
I'm sure he's doing fine. Rather, since all of our parties are highly habitual, it may be better to go home alone than ride the same carriage, in terms of mental health.
Half the carriage was filled with souvenirs I had bought at Sulphur. I bought more to brag about vacations to my clan members and Eva.
Most include hot spring dragon buns, hot spring dragon eggs, and hot spring dragon bathing agents, but some of them include coffins containing the remains of underground people. It is what Luke and the others have hunted. Demonic material was also one source of income for treasure hunters.
Our party hardly ever rides a carriage when we use it. By and large, Liz, Luke and Anthem were free because of the natural flow. Citrine is in charge of you, and Lucia is my escort.
Looks like Tino is running with Liz this time too.
The gates of Teito, which I haven't seen in a long time, seemed to be in construction, lacking greatly. The Knights of the Guard are lined up sloppily and rigorous vigilance is laid far from the suls.
Lucia told me there was some commotion going on, but apparently he's still not calm.
Well, that happens, doesn't it? Make a big back stretch and make a stretch.
"Sleep slowly when you get home after a long time"
"............ it seemed like I was slowing down all the time......"
"Yes, Lucia has a treasure charge. I also used" Realized Outerwear "."
"............ I'm tired too...... you punch me right?
The routine is back. I gave Lucia a half-hearted grin as she turned a grumpy eye and I breathed a sigh of relief.
§
Not only the gates, but also in the imperial capital, had changed dramatically from what was remembered. What's wrong with this even though it's only been vacant for about a month?
Even the bombs have exploded, several houses have been half-destructed, several roads that had been maintained have been broken, and the Knights are desperate to organize traffic. Beautifully grown street trees and a little favorite coffee shop were damaged without a leak, a level where you would mistake it for what happened in the war.
Fortunately, now will be after the commotion. The house is collapsing, but the bodies are not rolling, and the people of the city seem to be used to this situation already.
It's in the hunter. Seriously, though, I don't like to see bodies. I don't know what happened and I don't want to know more about it, but I'm really glad I'm out of the Empire.
There's nothing you can do with me anyway...
Leave the end of the carriage to Citrie as usual, climb the Cranhouse stairs lighter than usual with a box of souvenir hot spring dragon buns without a heart.
I ate and saw just a little while on the road but the hot spring dragon buns are a pretty tasty treat.
It doesn't really contain dragons, but it's all sweet and moist, and even if I hate sweets, I'm taken care to eat them deliciously.
When I enter the lounge, I smile and shout.
"I'm home!..................... ah?
Stiff with a smile.
Always a beautiful and tidy lounge looked like a dead body. There are several tables where the hunters are laid back with dead eyes, and countless bottles of liquor roll over the perfectly polished floor.
It was a sight I saw somewhere recently. Lucia, who has been with me, opens her eyes and Luke thinks (maybe) of something that is not good.
Besides, it is indisputable that one of the tables is the Black Gold Cross, which has the top strength among those belonging to our clan. Sven, the leader, looks at me like a zombie, and he's stiff.
When I approached the table with a smile, I placed a box of souvenir hot spring dragon buns in front of the glittering Sven's eyes. Sven twitches his shoulders and pulls his cheeks in a box printed with a deformed dragon.
I pounded my shoulder and ran upside down. [M] Cancer and the sound of Sven rising from behind.
"Ahh! Hey, wait here! And..."
Luke, I'm busy. Say hello later.
"Come on, Sven! I'll show you my new moves. Go to the training ground!
You just got back and you're fine......
And I'm sorry, Sven. I have to give Eva a souvenir, so I don't have time for stupidity.
"Shit!... hey, hey! Don't let Klee get away with this!
I gave Luke a shout that sparkled my eyes, making Sven even feel sad.
Other members raise their faces as if the body were resurrected, and their eyes shine as if they had found their prey.
Slap Lucia on the shoulder. Lucia gives a tall voice, and it's already ringing.
I ran up the stairs, choking. [M] Screaming from the lounge.

"Welcome back, Mr. Klee... how was your vacation? Rumors are... I hear you."
"Well, a lot happened, but it was fun. A souvenir."
Unlike Sven, who changed his blood phase when he saw his face, Eva had the usual attitude.
Receive a hot spring dragon bun with a smiling look on my face.
This is it, this is it. It heals me.
Oh, my God, that Sven look like he even found it in his parents' revenge. What did I do?
"Mr. Klee must have had a rough time about the Barrel Bandits too, but this one too... it was tough while Mr. Klee was away... he said he could screw the clan members later"
I've already given you a hot spring dragon bun.
"... with that being said, did you get a little carried away?
I don't have a sleeping habit, and my uniform looks perfect. The glasses are also polished. But overall, it looks a little more idle than Eva remembers.
Eva's not a hunter, but she's practically the top of this clan. It's not strange that Eva is just as exhausted because the clan members were so exhausted.
I'm supposed to be with you or not because I'm a decorator, but it may have been mentally tough not to have someone to take responsibility for when I have to.
"I'm a little empty and I would have annoyed Eva, and if I had a job, I'd do it this way, so take a little rest."
The job of running a clan is enormous. Most things I'm not sure about, but it would be perfect if Lucia and Citrine could help.
Citrine can do anything, and Lucia helps me out every time I wonder about her brother's ugliness, so Eva's men have a good face.
Eva just loosened her eyes slightly to my suggestion, sighed and shook her neck slightly to the side.
"No, because the disturbance has already subsided... I left the report at my desk, but it was like the rest of the Imperial City hived in a protest between the Wand (Hidun Kharth) and the Akasha Tower. Even with the remnants of the party, it seems like quite a few big men were still hiding - and our members came with an urgent request for cooperation, quite mobilized."
"Well... that was tough."
I'm really glad I was on vacation. The clan leader of the Wand, Shin Eun Katsu, is a terrible magician. How horrible is that Lucia just gave her a disgusting look when she heard her name.
I am careful not to face each other, but I need to do everything in my power to keep my face from glaring at each other.
Besides, I also buy grudges. It's already settled, but I accidentally spoke to the party she was eyeing when the clan was founded.
Besides, I won. What to hide, that party is the second or third most troublesome party in our clan - the Star's Holy Thunder (Starlight), and I've been unable to walk the Empire since then.
If that horrible grandmother is involved, it can be said that Sven Anger was about to die. That old lady treats even Ark as a kid, and besides, there's an atmosphere where she seems to be happily going instead of hesitating to ash humans.
You struggled too much, Eva's words had a dark fever.
"Besides, the other demon mentor is awesome - can you believe it? The opponent - seems to have tried to perform a ritual of thunder elite summons. Where there are so many of these people, it's Thunder Fairy!?
Hell, I guess?
The Spirit Summons are deep. Lucia is humbled to produce waterfalls, but the spirits of highly offensive attributes are enough to be treated as strategic weapons just for that. It is obvious from the incompetence of me that it is not the kind of magic used in an imperial capital with a large number of people. That's part of a secret society, you mean?
With that being said, Arnold was repelling the Thunder Elf, but that was because there was no one to manipulate the Thunder Elf, and the Spirit who entered under the command of the Mage and laid down the orientation of that power is precisely the disaster itself.
"When you hear that, can you imagine what The Abyss Fire Extinguished did? I summoned the Fire Fairy under contract! I tried to fight with force, with force! Really, I don't believe it. This is why level eight is..."
I'm sorry about something.
"…………………………………………………………………………………………………………"
When I saw the trail of destruction, I was surprised that there was a war in the Imperial Capital, but if Abyss Fire Summoned the Spirit, on the contrary, it seems like a miracle that it was done with this degree of destruction.
Rumor has it that the old lady burned down one treasure house. And The Abyss Fire Extinguishes has an awesomeness that isn't strange to do it.
To my words, I make my eyebrows ha-ha letters like Ava is in trouble.
"I don't have any more information in there, thank you... both sides seem to have been severely exhausted after the Spirit used great power..."
"Hmm. You got lucky"
"Looks like you were particularly drained of lightning sperm and settled quickly for it. Well, I thought you were lucky."
Spirit Summoning is the art of summoning and serving existing spirits. Its power depends to a great extent on the condition of the Spirit, besides the strength of the operator.
Naturally, I'm free somewhere when I'm not in service, and I have a time lag from activation until it comes, so I can say it's a very uneven technique.
If I was trying to summon you at a time of need, there's so much talk that the spirits I'm contracting were extinguished that I couldn't summon you.
By the way, Lucia uses it to make Chico Falls, so she's carrying the water essence in the bottle. I'm not half way through the hand. He has always been a good animal. Lucia was also the one who planted your hand in my "dog chain".
Well, it's already over. It's none of my business.
I opened a box of hot spring dragon buns for myself (twenty-four packs) when I appropriately pulled the report on the desk. I bought it so I have about thirty boxes left.
Eva said something that didn't make sense when she stuffed a strawberry-flavored red dragon bun.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Klee. I'm talking about the White Sword Gathering."
"Hmm? Ngu... Keho, Keho... Oh, I'm sorry I was away. I wasn't playing."
I swallowed a strawberry dragon bun and quickly entered the excuse, and Eva said to me, blinking in wonder.
"Huh? No............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... I wasn't sure if I would contact you about your absence, but I'm glad you made it home."
