"So, Greg, come here for a second. For the future. I have a lot to teach you."

That's what Ergonote said, pulling my shoulder around and taking him outside the lab. Just look out the door to peek indoors on the way out and say, "That's why I'm gonna borrow Grey for a second!" I left the door shut.

Lentomia and Metius, left behind with a flashing face, and Manuferno, who for some reason is moving to make his glasses difficult to wear in an excited way. I wave, and they take me with a pulled face.

"Keep it up, Ergo, those guys are fighting again..."

"It's okay because there's a manuferno, he's got something like relationship lube (...)...?

Ergonote, the leader of the brave party, is quite impressed, not to say that he fired quite a bit.

"... Indeed"

"Huh?"

Ha ha, and the two of us laugh and enter the room as we open the nearby door and slip in. That was Hemperoza and Plum's room.

There is a small bunk bed in the room with a plum on the bottom and a hempelosa bunk on the top.

On a desk with only one indoor, there was a treasure lined up with colored glass shards, small objects and stones not sure where they had been collected from.

"What the hell is wrong with you, Ergo?"

"I wish I could talk to Greg now..."

Ergonote, who suddenly becomes a serious face and lowers his hips on the edge of his bet. Well, he urged me to sit down, and I'll sit back.

The room is an elongated, narrow room to be placed in the same way as the one in Manuferno. It would have been originally made as a maid's room. But for Plum and Hemperoza, it feels like a secret base, just the right size.

The bright light of the rising sun plunges through the window.

"... while I was on an adventure, I risked my life, it was painful, and still fun. It didn't take long."

Ergonote began to speak with a small glass ball on his desk in the light. The gothic neck, which leads from the stern side to the thick chest plate, is divine as if it were a statue.

"Ah......"

"But when I'm at peace like this, I get so anxious"

Tighten your red copper eyes and gaze at me from the glass balls.

I can understand what the brave man is saying. I can endure any ordeal while I have the purpose of defeating the Demon King and various powerful enemies. But when it's over, I'm even going to lose sight of my own existential significance.

"That's why I wanted to make a place for you."

Sage's Hall...

That was when my buddies were about to get lost, when I lost sight of where I was going, when I was only starting to think that it would be such a fun place to stop by pretentiously and rest.

Of course I wasn't thinking that far from the beginning.

I received a large hall from the kingdom and was happy to read the book by myself. In the end, I made a sound from myself in just a few months.

Because it is the pram that has created the desire not to endure loneliness, but to say whether we can have a spokesperson and a lover, and the hobby of exploring evil magic.

And if you realize it, Pram has a best friend named Hemperoza, and Iola and Riola, who came relying on me, are living there, and now Dicamaran's people are resting their wings.

That's very lively, fun, warm and...

"Right. You're becoming where Greg wants you to be. This is certainly a good place. But... we'll all fall apart like this. The corner... everyone who came together admiring you."

"What do you mean... what do you mean?

I squeeze out a short, faint voice and throw it at Ergonote. The back of my head felt numb and my voice couldn't speak well.

"Everyone... is here with their own things and thoughts to say. And I think you're the only one who can listen to me, right?

I'm confused by that word.

"Right...... No Lentomia, no Manuferno... no Riola, no Hemperoza..."

Me and... I wanted to talk.

Come to think of it, the journey into the Dragon Man was borrowed to an adventure sometime with a death battle with a giant monster and a battle with magicians in a seaside town and the intention of relaxing.

Even though you were desperate to fight, would you have listened to everyone's thoughts and understood how they felt?

... you can't have done it. I'm the best I can do about myself... because I'm a bad sage.

"Don't look so dark! Adventure and defeating enemies are not the only jobs of the Brave or the Wise. Look, Greg, let me tell you the trick."

Guissi, and the bedroom (bet) make a noise, and the ergonote leans directly next to me.

"... this one?

"Oh. 'You're already in my surgery! Greg once in a while says," You're already in my surgery. "

A man's face smiles right next to mine.

"Hey, what no...?

"This is how we talk alone."

"Alone?

"Yes. Half an hour is fine, so we'll make time to be alone and talk a lot. Look them in the eye and listen seriously. I don't care what the topic is. Anyway, yeah, yeah, listen."

"Hey, I... I see"

In retrospect, yesterday, when I was alone with Riola, I think that's exactly what happened.

I was nervous at first, but I could talk naturally while the two of us were making sweet treats, and Riola told me a lot of stories that I wouldn't normally talk about. That's very trivial, like having rats next to bags of wheat or how to remove ink stains on clothes. Riola still smiled at me with great pleasure.

And when I realized, I was holding my shoulder in an ergonote. Thick and successful arms are turned to envelop.

"Um? What... is it mane?

Me being a tribute.

My face gets hot and I try to shake my hand off but now I get my hand squeezed. I mean, my face is close, my face!

"... field training. Look, if it's directly in front of you, they'll be alert, sit down beside you, talk to you, subtly approach you where you relax, hold your shoulders, or hold your hands."

"Can you do this!?

I laugh at how to be intimate with the secrets of the brave, but the hurdles are too high for me.

"Well, I can't all of a sudden. But here's the vibe anyway. All right?"

"Ah, ah...... Thank you."

What the hell is this flow? What is Ergonote trying to get me to go for?

On the other hand, I'm finally relieved to have my shoulders open, "That? It's kind of a good idea to be held on your shoulder... not bad," he realizes, sifting and shaking his head.

"As you may know... there is a legend passed down to my country about a great king who made" Harlem. "A legendary king of a hundred mistresses and wives."

"Ha...... alaim?

Unexpectedly listen back.

Words I've never even looked into, but I wouldn't even have to look into what that sounds like.

"My late home, Israel, was polygamous. The legend may not be a lie... but I can't have a hundred people in a boulder. Now it's just the princess of Metanostadt."

Ha, and Ergonote is a troubled, irresistible guy, with a light look like that and a grin.

But it is the first time that Israel, a desert nation, has a polygamous system.

A subtle search with search magic (Ggol) did find such a statement. Israel's polygamy is described in books on marriage. They say the condition is to love everyone equally, but the sentence there catches my eye.

To polygamous couples, same-sex marriage is also possible...... and not anyway!?

Unexpectedly my eyeballs are about to pop up and I turn to the grin that drew me to the ergonote.

... I'm used to a lot of things.

You've been traveling with me for the last three years without even knowing that...

"I could open Lentomia's heart. You could be..." to the legendary King of Elysium. "

"Then!

Ergonote stands up and gazes far away as she poses to lift her hair.

If it's not such a cool scene, I can scratch it in my heart.

"Thank you for your advice."

"Ah.... good luck, Greg. Now... you just have to enjoy peace. And make everyone happy, Manu, Lentomia, Iola, and all the chicks."

I don't need to be told.

It will be very difficult to make everyone happy, but I want to know how Ergonote feels.

I smiled lightly and left the room.

I'm sure the wisdom I got from Ergonote is that I'm going to need it first. I salute in my heart the brave man who entrusted it to me.

And I heard a busy voice coming from the front door.

"I'm home! Meat, meat, Rio!

"Ha ha, you haven't had a BBQ party in a long time today!

"Holy shit! I'm getting tired of dried meat."

It was Falia, and Luroni, to Iola, who was on reconnaissance, to find out who the demon was that he was out of the village.

Instead of reconnaissance, he came home quick.

Iola and Lu were dragging off with the ears of a rabbit demon "Dead Rabbit" of a size comparable to a giant bear.

"Come on!? Io's fool! What meat... how do you cure this!?

"Ugh, are you a rabbit -?

"Hello!? Big... I'm scared of fangs!

Looks like Plum and Hemperoza also popped out to the front door after hearing Riola scream.

- Ha, right. I'll see what I can do. Ergonote.
