"Guys, don't come with me!

Ergonote gave us his palm with a confident look.

If you lay your hands on it, that's an oath signal. Together the willing go on a journey of prayer for each other's safety. This is a gen charge when you go on an adventure.

The journey invited by the brave Ergonote seems to be a quest to defeat the remnants of the Demon King, who targets food and fish in the port town (Popolato), the easternmost part of Metanostadt.

"If people are in trouble... there's no reason to throw it away."

It was Faria who stood up at the beginning and lay her hands on the ergonote. Don't hesitate to overlap your hands with Gash.

There is no doubt in the eyes of the female warrior who has spent the longest time Ergonote.

"... the awkward also go. Training and training, and saving people..."

Lu also looks somewhat nervous, overlapping his hands with his spine stretched out in a riddle.

But the words contained sounds that I would tell myself for some reason. Lu said something and gave me a chilling glance.

"- Lentomia, I need your help. You're the only one of us who can fight evil magic."

Ergonote spoke with a high voice and stared at Lentomia.

Ergonote's inviting har elf moved her lips slightly, with a faint voice,

"Bo, I... I can't go. Greg and I made a promise..."

And snapped.

The voice was so weak that it didn't seem like it belonged to a half elf with its usual confident glow.

"But... we need Lentomia's help."

Ergonote again in a quiet voice, threw words at Lentomia as he did to teach.

Lentomia turns a bewildered glance at me, but I couldn't hear my mouth. Because this is what I have to decide. In the first place, it's Lentomia's free will that's helping me. It's the mountains that I want to stop... but it's Lentomia who decides.

The silence fills me as if the time around me had stopped. But - the words of Ergonote seemed to be flattered with magic that could not resist anything.

Shaking his young grassy hair, a half-elf boy took a step forward. He looked back at me only for a moment, but walked out as if to break his thoughts, softly laying his little hand on the brave.

"Okay. I'm coming, Ergonote."

"Thanks Lentomia!

Gyu...... and I was attacked by the feeling my chest was about to be crushed.

- We're friends, aren't we?

It seemed that way, a beautiful sideways half elf leaking such a dazzling grin would go out of reach.

- Lentomia......

"Manuferno, I'm really in trouble if I don't have your healing powers. Can you come?

"Confusion. I... its, um..."

"I know Manu likes it here. So when you're done traveling again, you can go back."

"Residence. I'm Greg. The residence of your mansion... so much fun, I even want to stay here forever. But... everyone matters, and I'm worried. Because I'm the only one who can fix the injury..."

"Manu......"

"Agreed. I, too, will go"

Nodding, Manuferno also accepts to participate.

"Grecas! Will you come, too?

Ergonote smiled brightly and turned his golden dazzling eyes towards me. But that gaze felt like it was shooting at me for some reason.

Keep your fists clenched, face down, and shake small.

- I... can't go on an adventure.

If I say that, my bond with my people will disappear. and get horrible. It really shouldn't be a bond that disappears to that extent......

But you can't leave Pram and Hemperoza and their twin siblings behind me, swallowing their spirits and watching what happens.

I am determined to rebel with only one person.

"I'm sorry, Ergonote.... I really need to do something right now."

I barely squeezed out my voice.

The brave man narrowed his eyes slightly with a calm face, and

"Is that... more important than saving suffering people?

A heavy word turns my mind.

What I want to do, that is, go into the synthesis and treatment of the drugs that save Pram's life. But is that really a sensible choice to fulfill?

I am running to extend the life that I have created in my own interest, the life that is not supposed to be born in this world, and even more so...

Keeping twisting and bending the "reason" of the world.

Is that really more important than saving people who are suffering?

Ergonote was waiting for my answer.

But my answer is more definitive than that.

Beyond the ordeal in the forest of Kyodittil, and even though I'm about to be confused by the mysterious prophecy, I... I knew this little life was important.

"Save the girl you told me you liked. This is my... sage job now, which is more important than anything else."

I proclaimed clearly and grabbed the head of the plum beside me with gash.

"Grey?

I blink my scarlet eyes and leak a grin like a tickle.

"Don't worry, I'm not going on a journey. Until I cure you."

"G., Master Grey... with your toys... don't you have to? Plum is... Plum is perfectly fine with leaving a message... is that so!?

I was a little surprised by the plum for something healthy. With the body, is the mind growing a little too?

"Hey, sage, when did this guy say, 'When is Mr. Grey coming home? I don't know what I did to my sister Rio with half a cry."

"Oh, really? Plum."

"Heh, Hempero, that's a promise I won't tell you -...!

"You can be honest with me, Plum."

To Hemperoza's words, now friends of heart, Plum smiled.

"- Ha, ha! Good. That's good, Greg. Sounds like you. That's right... that's fine. I've been waiting for that answer. You are... the same sage as before, Grecas!

…… Ergonote "

I couldn't figure out the meaning of a brave man's words.

"Metanostadt is full of confusion. And Greg... be careful."

- Are you sure you're seeing through this? About Kristania and Princess Methius...

"Well, as a matter of fact, I'm treading that I'm not such a strong enemy this time. They're attacking Harbor Town - one of the Twelve Demon Generals who led the Demon King's Army, Culpnos..., the people who were his men."

Ergonote changes the subject.

"Sancho... Right"

Lentomia laughs all the time because she's relieved of tension.

General Twelve is an executive corps of the Demon King's Army, the actual unit of the demon cleric Hemperoza's men. Even more so, without the power of my sage, I will not be in distress.

"Boy! Why don't you come too?

Unexpectedly, Ergonote spoke to Iola.

"!? So... but I..."

"Everyone is small and scary at first. But if you're with us, you don't have to be afraid of anything, just think of it as training!

Iola seems perplexed by the words of a persuasive and powerful brave man, and has turned her gaze to me to ask for my consent. It is emotional that Iola has grown too, just as the idea of obtaining the consent of the Lord of the Hall under her care turns around.

- Just take the path that Iola wants to go.

I am silent. Iola smiled all the time, momentously laying her hands on the brave men's party.

"All right, let's be this member this time!

"Wait, brave man, Rio and... my sister with me"

"And your sister? Oh! I don't mind!

Ha ha! and the brave laugh.

But his sister, Riola, kept the kitchen wall on her back, didn't speak, and didn't move.

"Rio -!"

My twin brother calls me in a bright voice. But Riola shook her head to the side.

"I... will not go"

"Li...... o?

Iola circles her surprise eyes. of twin brothers and sisters who never tried to leave at any time or temporarily, that was the first different choice.

I mean, maybe this was my "first rebellion" with Riola.
