Cool winds remind me of the end of summer.

On the way home with Plum and Hemperoza holding the book aside. It goes with the speed at which the two people who are interested in chatting walk, slowly progressing.

When I noticed, the lake surface of the Mitsuki pond reflected an orange sky. I notice a black shadow crossing and look up into the sky. Several horsemen of the Fei Dragon (Wyburn) were spreading their wings and moving to a landing position at the Royal Castle. The brave silhouette is the Aerial Knights responsible for the King's Capital defense.

"Larna and Sister Manu, you left first, didn't you?

Plum caring for both of you as you look up at the sunset sky.

"It's okay, I think I'll be at home."

I don't know where everyone is at all. But one of the boundaries that is constantly unfolding in the "Hall of Wise Men" was detecting and informing me about half an hour ago that the two had returned home.

They're also returning Luroni's driven carriage. The museum will be starting to support dinner.

"He said he was going to buy bacon, but what's for dinner tonight?

"Thinly sliced stir-fried bacon and vegetables would be nice."

"I'd like to eat bacon while it's thick."

"Um, I'd love a warm stewed tomato flavor."

As the three of us walked around talking about dinner, we got hungry.

Eventually I saw the red tile roof. The Sage's Hall sparkled with sunset lights back from the lake.

I noticed a light noise coming from the hall.

"... hmm?

Brother Lu doesn't do swordsmanship with anyone in the garden.

"Swordsmanship, with whom the hell..."

It's rhythmic at times, it's like a rhythm of dance.

Plum's right, Kako, Kako! and the light sounds like an archery with a wooden sword. Nevertheless, there are no opponents of swordsmanship in the hall right now. Spiano hangs around occasionally, but it doesn't feel that way either.

If it's swordsmanship, could it be Chuuta?

As he approached his feet early, he could see the garden tip over a stone heap about shoulder height. There is an unfamiliar carriage next to the garage, and the horse is soldering grass in the backyard a little further away.

On the lawn at the end of the garden, I saw the two of them doing an archery of swordsmanship. It looks like Riola, Spiano and their children are touring the area.

Luluonii, the swordsman of cat ears, waves the sword. The arms stretching from the blue road attire look thin, but they are lumps of supple moving muscles. He took Luroni's wooden sword, which he unleashed on the horizontal letter, with the same wooden sword, with his temper.

I look at that person and raise my voice unexpectedly.

"Brother Io, no!?

"Brother Io, I'm sorry!

"Really, it's Iola!?

Chestnut hair, slightly tanned face, the same color as Riola's. Dressed as much as Luroni. I looked more physically fit than before, but I looked disappointed. But it couldn't be wrong, it was Iola.

"You're home!

The Riola and Luroni families should have gone to the village of Finobocchi today to buy them out.

Could it have been a coincidence that we met again?

"Ha!"

Iola accepts the sword moves of the horizontal giraffe unleashed by Luroni with a wooden sword with her cuttoe pointing down.

Try to bounce back a blow from the side that is difficult to deal with as the wooden swords hit each other and jump up. I have not lost in power against the great seniors of swordsmanship.

――

"Ha!

Playing Luroni's wooden sword at the same time, Iola flashed her temper. I took a step forward. Luroni's torso, with his arms jumped up, rolls out a wooden sword.

At the next moment, a hard collision hit his ear.

- I'm in!?

That seemed so to the amateur, but Luroni had taken a slight half-step back and received the sword. Instantly half-rotate the tree that was being bounced up. He switched it backwards and took the sword attack that Iola had unleashed.

Iola couldn't get a blow into Lu, but she couldn't take the sword and push it down. I think I would have flushed it before or jumped back and avoided it.

I don't know much about swordsmanship, but is it a sign of growth?

Iola put her sword away as she thanked her. Luroni, too, graciously untied the arrangement, loosened the expression of two pressing people.

"Damn, I knew I couldn't..."

"That was a good blow!

"Thank you, Master Lu"

"Ha ha, welcome back, Iola"

Grab each other's palms facing up hot and shake hands.

"Wow."

Who are you?

"Sister Rio."

"So even Iony..."

The four children of Lu jump on Dododo and Iola and hang around.

"Wow!? Ha ha, it hasn't gotten any bigger!?

That's where I stepped into the garden with Plum and Hemperoza.

"Welcome back, Iola"

"Guru!"

Iola glanced back at her eyes.

If it's true, it's an inspiring reunion, but you can't even hug the four kids because they're even gutted and at their feet.

She looked like an adult, but the smile on her face remained a boy. Unexpectedly nostalgia creeps up.

"Long time no see, Iola, you look fine and above all. What's the matter with you today?

"Brother Gu, no, we met again by chance in the village of Finobocchi. When I asked Cecily to say hello, Iola also came... there"

Then Riola told me with a smile. Riola seems kind of happy, too.

"Oh, my God, you were"

"Yeah. I had the potatoes we grew, and I took them to Mr. Cecily's. A small thank you..."

Iola turns to the carriage parked in the garage. Parked next to the "Land Turtle (Gran Turtle)," it was a single-headed carriage with about ten bags of potatoes in a hemp bag on the carrier.

"I was just trying to surprise you. In potatoes."

"Ha! I'm surprised, welcome back, Iola."

"Yeah!"
