A reaction appeared to the Sovereign Circle.
It captured Faria and Luroni, Spiano, returning to the hall.
From the speed of travel, you can be sure it was them who rode out on the horse. The horse appears to be riding with two heads, Faria on one side and Lu and Spiano on the other.
I scratched out the tactical information display (tactics) that automatically surfaced in front of me. Speak to Riola as she walks outside the hall.
"Riola, it's like Faria and Lu and the others are coming home. Am I getting enough lunch?
"Then I'll be fine. Because I make a lot of them. Brother Gu, this is my favorite potato, bacon soup and bread."
"I'm glad to hear that. I'm looking forward to it."
Riola laughed softly and ran back to the kitchen.
Speaking of which, I was still in the middle of cooking and I was out dropping off Mr. Cecily and the Oba Coalition.
"-Io, are you done peeling potatoes? Hey, don't pick it raw!
"I'm hungry, I'm hungry..."
"Io's fool!
From the kitchen I could hear the lively voices of Riola and Iola.
I'm not those two real brothers, but I was so glad that Riola called me "Brother Gu no" that I felt like I was getting a little closer to "inside" again.
I was alone in the last world, and I didn't have any siblings.
- He wasn't there, was he?
Suddenly, something cold pierced the back of his chest.
Though I had thought about it for a long time and kept deluding myself that I didn't have time to think about it, I'm still sure.
- - The memory of the world (...) before (...) is fading...
I'm zoomed by a feeling that resembles dizziness, like my feet suddenly turned into a cold muddy. I can remember my parents' names...... My parents used to vacate the house when it came to work, but still, my face, about my face...
"To the wise, for lunch!
"Greg! It's lunch and rice."
All of a sudden he grabs his hands warm and small and returns them to me.
Plum and Hemperoza finish the drop off of Oba and come back from the iron gate and now grab my left and right hand and try to pull it toward the hall.
They saved me where I was sticking my head in a dark hole..., what a corner of my head I associate with.
"Ah, ah!? Wait, I thought I'd pick you up because Faria and the others are coming home."
"Really?
"Then stay inside first!
You two look up at my face, and then you let go. Then he flipped his scarlet hair and dark hair and gently rushed into the mansion.
Plum and Hemperoza also seemed to be helping to make "Sister Rio" lunch, would it be better than cat hands just to carry a plate or brush a fork out......
Trying to distract me, forcing me to think of something else, Manuferno looked into my face worried.
"Your complexion is so bad, isn't it? Are you okay?"
"Oh, oh, yeah, I'm fine. I'm a little dizzy. I guess it's the heat...... Looks like Faria and Lu are coming home."
"Stuttering (surprise). I thought you said you were going to be late?
"That's right."
I started walking sideways with Manuferno, with my hair down, at the gate of the hall.
Unexpectedly narrow your eyes and take a deep breath to calm your feelings at the view of the village of Finobocchi, which can be seen through the gates of the hall on a small high hill.
A stream that flows sewn between the fields of luminous grown wheat and the green trees that stand everywhere. The red roof of the church in the heart of the village, which is visible in the distance, and the houses of the village with the triangular roof of the red-baked tiles, are adorable.
Against the backdrop of a bright blue sky, accumulated clouds continued to grow.
Pastoral, fairytale landscape.
Looking back, the red burning tile sage hall, and the girl staring at me with strange eyes, shaking her beautiful silver hair in the wind (Manuferno) -.
- Didn't I really stay in this world from the start...?
Beautiful, dreamy scenery even comes to mind with wonder.
But in my mind, I do have news of a cramped day in a gray school building (...), a lonely and boring day, a world of games and nets that was soaked in abundance, a war dripping from television, an inorganic skyscraper that just reaches the sky, an iron bird that flies naturally, a human walk that was even beginning to reach the star world, and such memories are viscidly creeping.
That is the 'other world' itself, which the witch Alberina did not stop looking for.
- Even that world is real.
One day, can we go back?
No, do I need to go back?
- Why?
"Weather. Nice, Greg."
Now to a quiet, gentle voice, pulled back.
"Oh, yeah, it's too good to be hot."
"Agreed. I don't seem to like sunlight"
Smiles bitterly at each other small. I find myself remembering a little relief in my heart that my silver thread-like hair gleams in the sun, blurry looking at me and Manu somewhere...
Turn your eyes at the end of the gate. The road that loosely descends after exiting the museum's iron gate is divided into a road that crosses the bridge to the creek about twenty mertes away, further leading to the centre of the village ahead, and a large "national road" that leads to Metanostadt.
The Phalia and the others are heading north on the national highway with their horses, and it looks like they're headed here.
Then I saw two horses in no time. The horse came to the hall with the sound of his hooves. Eventually he crossed the bridge and arrived in front of the gate of the hall.
Burru, Durru and the horse are gone, breathing out.
"Manu to Greg, did you ever welcome me?
Falia throws a bright voice with a surprised breezy look when she finds me and Manu.
"Well that's the place.... Welcome back, Faria. That was fast."
"I'm on vacation."
Faria answers briefly, pulling the reins and stopping the horse as she softens her silver hair. And when he jumped out of his temple, he stood in front of me.
"Vacation? You got a job as training instructor for the soldiers?
"Ah."
"Lord Grey, Lord Manu, it's just now!
"Follow me now"
"Welcome back, both of you."
On the back of the horse, Lu was riding so that he could hold Spiano from behind.
Lately, they've been so close that it seems silly to envy them or something. Lu, who descended from the horse first, takes Spiano's hand and helps him descend from the horse.
Whether the curse of Doji's daughter is still there or not, Lulu stands on the ground with a refreshing grin supporting Spiano as he descends in awkward fashion.
Grasp your hand gently, attach your hand to your hips so you can't let it down, and lower it to the ground with care.
"Be careful."
"Haas."
Spiano turns his happy smile to Lu. If we weren't here, it would be a lot of fun.
- Grunt...! Lu meh, what a...... couple.
"I can afford it. Something like this for Lu Kun... I mean, you've been able to afford it"
"You're something I don't want to admit... this sense of defeat"
I'm observing the two of you as Manu wraps his glasses around. I admire the toughness that makes everything a dash of creativity.
When Lu and Spiano received the reins from Faria, they amicably took the two horses to the creek.
It is a creek where Riola and Manuferno always do laundry, with shades of trees. It's the perfect place to hold a horse and give it a rest.
I started walking to the hall with Faria. Watch the instructor (...) Faria teaching sword moves to the trained soldiers in King Methanostat capital.
I don't carry an axe, but I have a medium-sized sword down one waist. The outfit was woven with military jackets, like those worn by Metanostadt officers on top of plain clothes. That said, all the buttons in front are removed and I'm just ruffled on my shoulders like a robe or a cape.
"... in a recent incident with Neo Isravia, even trained soldiers were gathered. It's been three weeks since then, and he said he'd finally take a vacation in order where he had one paragraph. Ma..., I don't have to wear such cramped clothes either."
He couldn't help but want to take it off, and as he walked off his robust officer's uniform jacket, he threw it at Bassari and Iron Gate. He turns his neck around without a glance and squeals a cockroach.
"Good for you. Let's have lunch first, 'cause Riola and Iola are making it now."
"Oh, I'm glad to hear that! I don't want to go outside for a while."
"You're going to apprentice me..."
Faria laughed haha brightly, her hands on her forehead blocking the sun's rays and looking up at the sky. And you turned your gaze on me, like you remembered something.
Emerald-colored eyes are slightly flattered.
"Speaking of which......, yeah. Grecas."
"Hmm?"
"I'm knocking down demons there... no, I saw them probably"
"Demons? Near villages like this? No, probably..."
I frowned.
"I was stomping on someone I couldn't even call a demon. Large Gusok Beatles and Slimeness"
Says Faria as she combs her hair with her fingers.
"Then I roll around here occasionally... enough to knock you down?
Large Gusok is, simply put, a big dangoose. Big enough, it's about a merte, but it doesn't harm people or livestock, it's a "cleaner" that fishes for rotten timber and animal bodies.
An organism that can't be called anything less than a rotten pumpkin obnoxious or a demon that is occasionally kicked in as a toy for the kids.
And Slime won't need an explanation now, but he's universally distributed in the wet parts of this world, living secluded as a cleaner in the same way.
However, in the former Demon King's War, part of the slime born of land contaminated with the Demon King's unleashed "Qi" became ferocious and attacked people, so it was targeted for extermination as a low-level demon.
But there is no such thing as a dim and dangerous kind around here.
I use the mechanism by which the slime absorbs magic and works as a "muscle" for wine barrel golems and many other applications.
Rarely large solids are eliminated as training partners for new American escorts (* the generic name of adventurers in this world), but they are not dangerous organisms.
"Well, there were two or three young escorts who looked like new Americans, but you weren't much of a fan of watching and feeling. And the slime had a rare color (...)..."
"Precious... slime? Faria! Where is it!? I'm just gonna take a look."
"Ah, I crossed that hill from here... about 500 Merte away..."
You can walk there for ten minutes, expand the Magnetics exterior and you'll reach there for a minute.
The escort is probably going to give it an arm test or some sort of worry, but the slime may be a valuable kind.
If even the cell pieces are still there, I want to collect them and find out! The pure interest prevailed and I was rushing out.
"Gre!?... I knew I was going..."
"Lunch. It's dinner!?
With Faria's grumpy voice and Manu's worrying voice on my back, I looked back and waved small.
"I'll be back by dinner!
