A few days after a strong southerly breeze finally rose that lasted day after day, informing us that the season would change.

Ichigo took Barletta, Liese and Zirconia, as well as Ayla and Marie, back to the village of Grisea.

The objectives are to replenish supplies and receive river construction plans, as well as to pick up fish in flooded riverbanks.

Neither Zirconia nor Liese need to worry about the villagers now, so they came in private clothes, not in armor.

"Uh, it's been a really long time since you've been back in the village. Hasn't it been about five months?"

Seeing the entrance to the village of Gricea, which has become visible in the distance, leaks a voice that is relieved by Yi Liang.

I was used to living there, not so long, but when I came back to this village I felt as relieved as when I came home to my parents.

"You've been busy. I've already done more or less, and from now on, I'm going to go back and play with this."

Barletta smiled happily at her long time home.

The production of tools in the city was completely on track, and there was no longer any need for another good or for the Barlettas to go and take a look at it.

A vast newly opened wheat field stretches around the garrison set at the entrance to the village.

What are you going to do with it? It's so big.

Arriving at the garrison and getting off the carriage, Sylvestria rushed over as the good guys breathed a sigh of relief.

"We've been waiting for you! Welcome to the village of Grisea!

Silvestria in armor smiles with Zirconia on her heels.

"Thank you. How is life in the village?

When Ichigo heard, Sylvestria smiled.

"Yes, every day is so much fun. We're doing great with everyone in the village."

"That's good. Is something wrong?

"I only discovered a bunch like a burglar once, but I saw it in the distance and that's exactly it. Problems like this are not particularly happening"

"What, there's a burglar out there?

Ichigo raises his voice to his surprise.

"I can't be sure, but I thought it was probably a burglar. I sent out the scouts to track them down, but I left them because I left the village."

"Mr. Zirconia, did you know?

"Yes. I got the report. I haven't done any particular damage, and I haven't put out a chaser because it looks like he left in the direction of Gregorn territory. I've contacted the Gregorn side."

"Uhm, you were right to leave your troops as Mr. Narson put it"

"Right. Rumors of rotten soil being picked from the forest of this village seem to be spreading, and troops should be left behind in the future."

Talking like that, the villagers gathered from the entrance to the village.

Balin, who was in the lead, is waving heavily.

"Father!"

Barletta rushes over to Balin, making sure she jumps and hugs him.

"Oops! Barletta, it's been a long time. How have you been?

"Yeah! Your father looks good too! How's the village?

"Everybody's fine. It's enough to make it easier than ever, thanks to the troops' heads getting better. Hmm? Have you grown a little taller?

"It won't change that much in about six months."

"No, no, no, I think I'm just getting a little bigger."

"Uh, I wonder?

Even while Balin and Barletta were happy to reunite for a long time, the villagers have gathered under the good and spoken words of labor.

Under Reese, the kids rushed over, pulled their hands and said, 'Let's play together!' and making noise.

"Dear Kazura!

Doing so, the Colts came beneath the good by trying to tear the circle of villagers apart.

"Oh, Mr. Colts, long time no see! How you doin '?

When Kusha Yiliang stroked his head, Colts narrowed his eyes as he tickled.

"Yeah! Master Kazura, can I go to Isteria with Master Kazura?

"Huh?"

One good looks right at the Colts who suddenly mentioned that.

"Colts! My apologies, Master Kazla"

As always, Colts' mother rushed over in a hurry.

I look at my mother bowing her head and the Colts look swollen.

"Why are you apologizing? I didn't do anything wrong."

"So I told you to explain it properly, didn't I?

"But Master Ormachiol told you to go, didn't he? Master Kazura can't possibly know."

"Huh? Um, Mr. Colts. What did Master Ormachiol say?

I can't tell the story, and Ichigo looks surprised.

"Master Ormachiol told me to stay beside Master Kazra. You know Master Kazura, don't you?

"Yes, no, I don't know. I mean, Master Ormachiol..."

Who are you talking about? Trying to ask, Ichigo stopped the words.

The inhabitants of this village believe that the good is Graciol.

It feels a little bad to say that you don't know about Ormachiol, the god of battle, etc.

"Master Kazra, could it be that you have not yet met Master Ormachiol?

Colts' mother asks him nicely.

"Ha, yes... Um, is that Olmachior-sama in Imamura?

"Uh... I know you're probably in the woods... I met you for the first time last night when you visited me at home too, and you just told me to put this kid next to Master Kazla... it's like this kid I used to see every day"

"Master Ormachiol is shy, so he doesn't really want to come out in public."

"Shy?

"Yeah. 'Are you embarrassed?' In the meantime, when I heard it, I was laughing, 'Right'. I said I'd be fine."

"Uh... can you tell me what Master Ormachiol looked like?

"Looking? I'm a regular sister. Long hair, tied in one."

"Hair, brunette?

"Yes, I am."

"It was tied in one, about the length to the waist?

"Yeah."

"Clothes feel like travelers? The one the garrison servants are wearing."

"Yeah."

When the Colts answered a good question, the villagers nodded as if they were deliberately convinced "oh" or "was it still real".

Barletta and Liese have a slight eye for the better.

"Shall I call you? If Master Kazura comes, I'm sure he'll come out."

"Oh, yeah. Let me ask you something."

"Yeah! I'll bring him in, just wait at home!

When Colts replied well, he rushed to the woods outside the village.

The good men entered the village with everyone, bewildered.

Coming to the woods off the village where he always specializes in swordsmanship, the Colts looked around.

Usually she waits here, but I don't see her today.

The Colts breathed heavily, trying to call her.

"Hey."

"Hello"

"Wow!?

Speaking directly from behind, the Colts jumped up surprised that his heart just didn't pop out.

Looking back, there she stood, smiling bitterly.

He hangs a large wooden basket in his hand.

"Bitch, you surprise me! Don't be surprised!!

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to."

You definitely meant that, Colts thought, but when he breathed, he held her hand.

Very warm, soft feel conveys to the Colts palm.

"Master Kazura wants to see your sister. I'll wait at the village chief's house, so I'll come with you."

"No, I'll stop. Go back alone."

Colts looks unhappy at her as she strokes her head with a troubled face.

"Sister, are you even fighting with Master Kazura?

"No, that's not true."

"So, we're friends?

"What about that?"

"After all, are you fighting?

"I didn't."

The Colts look even more unhappy, swelling her cheeks and looking at her.

"Then you can come. Master Kazura wants to see you."

"No, I'll stop"

"Well, that pisses me off. I said I'd call you."

"Then you'll see him from me next time."

When she answered, the Colts turned their suspicious eyes to her.

"I really don't know..."

"It's true. Besides, I made a promise to him."

"Oh, really?

"Yes, so it's okay"

Hearing that, the Colts loosened his expression as relieved.

"Come on, you go back now. Everyone's waiting."

"Yeah. Okay. And then, when you go to Isteria, where do you teach me swordsmanship? Where am I supposed to wait?

"Learn swordsmanship from someone else."

Once again, the Colts will look unhappy.

Seeing that, she smiled bitterly.

"Don't look like that. It's okay, you've already learned what you need to do. After that, self-training is enough."

"Uh, I don't think that's ever gonna happen..."

"Then learn from the silver-haired woman who was at the entrance to the village earlier. I think she's the best swordsman."

"Hmmm...... ok"

I had no choice but to nod Colts' head, she stroked OK.

"Nice. Whatever it is, don't run away. No matter how scared you are, never look away."

"Yeah."

"The only mistake I have in me is to strike it off myself. It's okay, you can do it."

"Yeah."

This was something she had told me several times before.

She wouldn't answer me if I asked her what was going to happen, or she would say something I wasn't quite sure about because 'it's sumptuous and I don't know the details', so I was just honestly taking what she said and nodding.

"Here you go. It's a souvenir from me to them."

That said, I offer the Colts a wood-knitted basket that is tightly packed with nuts and fruits to pick in the woods around here.

"A gift of reconciliation?

"So we're not fighting."

"Is it true?

"True."

When Colts received the basket from her, smiling bitterly, he tried to turn his foot to the village and stopped.

"Oh, yeah. There are so many beautiful people around Kazura, like Sister Barletta and Leese, if you like, they'll take it if you don't say so."

"Oh, really? Thanks for the advice. Here, go."

"Yeah. See you later."

She had forever dropped off the back of the Colts on a small run back to the village.
