The elegant daily routine of sage Grecas - here we go with a lovely 'Sage Hall' life!

The Sage's Hall - the Shin Lu Turtle (New Gran Turtle) - left the camp at a time when it could not yet be opened at night.

A further five kilomertes north of the centre of the village of Teibalaghi. There is a settlement in the Northeast where the Iolas were born and raised.

A straight line is likely to come in about half an hour, but the forest path to the north is likely to take a moment or so as it goes bypassing rivers and ups and downs.

Except for me, he's still asleep, so the hall's quiet.

As well as Pram and Hemperoza, Lu and Spiano, and Faria and Manuferno would still be in their dreams by now.

I remained a little tired of yesterday's battle, but the "secret pact" between Manuferno and the woods was swirling in my head. Sleepless, it would have ended up happening all night organizing magical maneuvers.

As I sorted my head out, I came to think that in the end, me and Manuferno might have been having a kind of magical soul exchange.

I'll be the first to tell you without misunderstanding, but me and Manuferno didn't do anything different.

I dare say that I unconsciously made the ritual of the first, most rooted and ancient magic, "Sharing Secrets," which opens and clears the doors of each other's hearts and brings their hearts closer….

The passion that lies deep in each other's hearts, the sloppy and ugly hearts, let them see and forgive each other.

After that, the two of us make a new secret.

Let me know what would make you happy to be touched, and I made a secret signal for both of you.

For example, when touching a pinky finger, there is no "like" signal and no deflection.

The secret ritual kept me feeling deeply and strongly connected (connected) deep inside my soul.

I went out to the garden to get some cold air and wind instead of wake up.

The slow-moving sky is still blue and black, time when the eastern sky is finally turning blue. Looking back, at some point the lights were on the kitchen window in the hall.

"Hmm...? Riola."

The figure seen through the window was Riola, who tied her hair together all the time.

I put the bread dough I used to pinch in the oven and bake the bread.

After a while, the aroma of fragrant wheat will spread throughout the hall, replacing everyone's wake-up call.

But when I stretched out in the garden to see if I was at my limit on the boulder, my eyes cracked.

At the same time, the walk in the hall was slightly disturbed.

"Sort of...! Abrasive."

Sleep deprivation is usual, and it's comfortable for me to feel a little flattered, but it's not the autonomous drive formula (appct) that makes me walk through the hall right now, it's my direct control.

He was committed to a quiet journey in Shinobi (...) Bi Foot (...) while trying out a new technique that would allow him to walk through the Sage Hall.

"Hmm, you're walking well with me."

Although welcome, the "supple cat-like" delicate movement around the foot of the hall was achieved by the genius magic of the "walking control (vodka) variable technique (parameter)", which was just adjusted in the middle of the night.

But unfortunately Lentomia, who "understands" how wonderful this is, is asleep in my bedroom.

And it looks like another of my precious magic partners woke up.

"Morning, Metius."

"Good morning, sage Grecas! You're early...... that face! You've been up all night again, haven't you?

A fairy who got out of a gap in the book and jumped out of the hall looking for me is staring at me with a squeaky face.

"Well, some nights I can't sleep."

"No more! It's not good for you. They worked very hard last night."

"Ha, well"

Misunderstood rhetoric, but the evening meant defeating a mighty enemy.

Shivering clear feathers, Metius flew away somewhere in the garden to look for morning dew.

And now the door opened well and Iola and Luroni popped up in the mood that only a t-shirt was on top of her trousers.

"Workouts start in the dark! Good morning, Lord Gugle!

"Good morning!"

"Oh, oh, don't be so cold."

"Yes! I'm a full-time workout today!

"Then first of all, it's a bare gesture!

"Yes!"

Yes! Yes! Yes! And Iola and Lu began to descend their swords at the garden tip without waving their eyes.

At its feet, there were a couple of slimes on the way back to the barrel.

The museum seems surprisingly busy, even though we can't open it at night yet.

◇

About a moment later, our "Sage Hall" reached the settlement in the northeast of Tibalagi village where Iola and Riola were born and raised.

The sky had turned blue and purple, and gradually began to bring brightness from the east.

Night opens quickly.

The forest is still wrapped in a quiet sleep, but the white, dark fog drifts around, creating an unseen atmosphere.

Beyond that, the sparse but blurry silhouettes of the houses appeared.

At the garden tip of the continuing hall, Iola, who had finished her sweat, stared forward with a serious face. Eventually Riola, who took a breath of bread into the kettle, also came and quietly lined up next to her brother.

They stared at the landscape, which they would gradually get closer to.

"Io, no doubt, our village......!

"Yeah, I'm home, Rio!

The two smile.

Deep foggy settlements are secluded and I can't feel any signs of people. But it's like, "Aren't you still asleep? It even made me hold the thought."

Eventually the Sage's Hall stopped walking.

Move into a parking position and pave the way to the settlement.

"... Grandma!

"Rio, let alone me...!

The hall parked. No, Riola and Iola jumped out.

A house that runs like a bounce and aspires to be scattered, I guess that's the two raw houses.

With white mist, the silhouette of the blurry floating house was rustic like a log house on a triangular roof made of a combination of trees.

I followed the two of them, too, jumping off the garden tip of the hall and stepping out into a foggy world.

"I'm home! Grandma!"

"It's me! Dad!"

The moment they both opened the door to the house at the same time...

I was blinded by the bright light that flooded me.

"Nah!?

- Welcome back, both of you.

The voice was certainly heard from beyond the golden light.

"" Mother! Father...!

The voices of Iola and Riola broke off there, however.

The light was the morning sun plugged in from beyond the woods.

Beyond the decaying, crumbling houses were only a desolate settlement and a flourishing meadow.

The walls of the house where the two lived collapsed and there was no roof, and only the walls on the entrance side barely fastened their shape.

The remaining columns were exposed to the wind storm, telling the story of the course of brutal times.

"Oh no..."

"Sure... I could hear your mother's voice..."

Riola knelt by the collapsed door and dropped her shoulder.

The fog gradually clears as the morning sun rises, relentlessly illuminating the ruins of an unbroken settlement.

Only about a dozen houses left behind no prototype. Some houses are like black ink that would probably have burned down during the Demon King's War, others seem to have lost the Lord of their houses and rotted out as they are.

Large tears like puffiness and pearls fell zero out of Riola's eyes.

Iola, standing on her stomach, couldn't help but hold Riola's shoulder, distorting her face and crying out.

"... Grandma..., uhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Ahhh!"

"Rio, don't cry...... uhhhhhhhh!

The cry of Iola and Riola echoed.

Once again, the two of them had taken the weight of a poked reality.

Beyond this door, my parents and I had a friendly breakfast, and when they came, the road that would have gone to the school building waving both hands was now buried in the growing grass as well.

It seemed to come to my attention that Iola and Riola shared a meal of baked bread and dried meat in the fireplace and let their eyes shine and tell their parents what happened today.

Those days of peace will never return.

"Iola, Riola..."

"Oh, oh, oh! Oh no... Mother... Father... Oh no... Wow!

"Ugh, wow... damn! Goddamn it. Whoa!

I couldn't even find the words to call, and there was nothing better than just hugging my chestnut-haired brothers and sisters who kept me from falling over.

Faria and Manuferno, who at some point came out at the end of the garden, also just kept quietly watching in the wind that when they looked at each other, they didn't know what to do.

"Egg... Gu, brother no..."

"Guru......!

I'll wipe Riola's tears with my fingers and sneeze Iola's head off.

"Let's go home, to our house"

- From now on, it's family (...).

"... Yes"

"Yeah......"

A cold, clear wind blows through under the sky where the morning sun has risen.

The fallen leaves dancing crusty at his feet quietly told him that a full winter was approaching.

But the two hands holding my hand from left to right were very, very warm.
