The Adventure of the Boy With a Mind of a Middle-aged Man

Cemetery in Straheim.

The funeral of the children who were underground in the mansion of Jill and [Laguna], members of Bresgarm, who were this time sacrificed, is now taking place.

There were many reluctant funerals with the perpetrators of the incident, but it was Jill's brothers who wanted it in the end.

They asked me to keep my head down for a funeral with them, saying, "Jill's brother would want it."

In the end, the funeral of unity will be held unanimously in the future.

"Silent prayer!!"

Everyone closes their eyelids to my voice.

The silent prayer is over, and after a while it sounds in the cemetery, a sobbing voice. Aria and I were both leaning down and crying out loud. Usually, the sober Klama is also a face with lost emotions, just staring down at the headstone. That's right. For the Klamas, Jill is a tormented body itself. Perhaps they have not yet accepted the very fact that they have lost it.

Now Lillinor and Olivia are also silently praying. When I fainted and was protected by a hatch and woke up in the mansion of the merchant hall, the two of us got mad at me with an awesome sword screen.

Perhaps the root of their anger is, again, their fear of losing someone they know, over the fact that they were left behind by me. For both of us, it would be our first experience to have someone as close as this one suddenly disappear. Besides, we'll be gone until I've lived a lot together. It may have caused them intense fear and anxiety.

Anyway, since then, the two of them have been in mourning without a word.

"Gray, I'm sorry."

As he approached me, Akuw lowered his head. I guess I cried. From the look of a dead man with swollen eyes, it's obvious how he's feeling right now.

"Don't apologize for nothing."

More important now than that is the protection of Akwe.

Yesterday, when I was promptly instructed to appear in the guild due to the use of [relief], and I had no choice but to whip my heavy body, Willie and Gaius asked me to protect Akw.

Sometimes Akwu has learned of his birth, a situation where he doesn't know where information can be leaked from. If it leaks, the guild alone can't shelter it. Whatever it is, it's like he's wanted for his father's crimes.

Of course, there is no way this I would tolerate such unreasonable and unreasonable punishment. Even if Willie and the others didn't ask me to, I wasn't going to get involved.

But if Akwu agrees to that, too. If you force me, I'll be no different than [Laguna] co-scum.

In short, I have to convince Akwu on this matter, but due to this guy's character, it's so easy to accept.

"Master Grey!

The warmth that occurs on my back recently for a long time.

"Satella?"

"I don't like it anymore. Why is everyone gone?

I know what she's trying to say. Sometimes Aria and I get along, and Satella connects us to Jill.

"That's enough, right? Me, even back."

"No. Number one, you, are you gonna leave Aria alone now?

"So! But wow!!"

Satella treading on the estate like a wasting child.

"I started it once. Let it pass to the end."

Even if it was an instruction close to coercion from me, throwing it out on the way is bad for Satella's education.

"Holy shit!!? I just don't like being gone before I know it anymore!! I absolutely don't like it!!"

Rolling up hysterically like a young child, Satella reminds me of her when we met.

"Satella, my family and friends are leaving someday. That's just the difference between fast or slow."

"G., even Master Gray?

You don't have to look back at what Satella looks like right now or anything.

"Oh, you're right"

"Oh no!

"It's not about you or my will. It's..."

"Gray, stop him now."

When I look up, Aquid puts his hand on my shoulder and squeals so lonely.

"Yes... you were"

What do you do in a place like this, throw up an honest argument on a kid? This is how much it hurts a child's heart. I should have known. Really what's wrong with me today.

Now, I have to report back to the Emperor on how things went and take over Jill's last business.

Above all, this is where we make our last farewell to the dead. I've already broken up with Jill. There's no reason to stay here any longer.

Shaking off Satella's arm,

"Well, then, excuse me."

A gentle thank you to everyone will hang the metastasis.

"Wow, me too -"

to Satella, who comes pleading with a full voice of impatience,

"No, it's enough alone. You do what you do next to Aria."

……

Satella grips the hem of her skirt hard as she bites off her lower lip.

Aria, who is mentally unstable, needs friends. In the end, if the roots are serious and gentle Satella, don't leave Aria alone. But Satella becomes blind to everything when it comes to me, like a relative. I tend to run away from bad things.

Satella finally got a life away from me. It's not for her to snuggle up on me here. I don't care how I end up beside her.

Turning her back, the metastasis was activated and transferred to the Sagami Chamber of Commerce.
