When we reached the East Gate, there was a huge fence and a door that seemed stubborn. It seems to be working as a gate with no problems, no open or closed marks of the gate.

What the hell is going on?

"Mr. Azley, come here!

"Ho ho ho"

This is terrible. The collapse of the house and the collapse of the exterior wall have prevented the passage of the main street.

"Lina, do you know what lies ahead?

"Ahead… there must have been a path leading to the North Gate"

"That means that the East Side has also been isolated outside the basement. Unfortunately, the demons that were in this section in the meantime got locked up and started eating together... I guess this is what happened."

"But Master, Alpha Kimyra could have opened the East Gate if he was a clever demon such as Goblin?

"There was an Alpha Kimyra on the big street. I mean, he must have been in front of the East Gate."

It doesn't fall within the scope of speculation, but it wouldn't be wrong.

And the Goblins showed up in the South Side through the underground tunnel that they stumbled upon while being hunted down.

"Well, if that's the case, you'll get through."

"It's a boulder, Mr. Azley!

"Don't praise me, don't praise me, I'll be on track, okay?

"Then I won't compliment you"

"No, why would Porch say that there!

"Come on, shall we go back"

Nirvana.

But you know how I treat boulders. You know, when you get on track, it's a rare rampage. I...

We followed the East End with no monsters and headed back down the tunnel to the South End.

At the entrance to and exit from the church site, Ryan had a lead, and Mana was waiting. They said the dynamite I unleashed was the cause of the gathering.

Ryan quickly moved on to action when he advanced that he could use it as a town if it was in the East Side.

Working women and children, of course, we helped complete the passage to the East End, which was a memorial. I guess it's Ryan's aim to regain control of the town from an early stage.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

- And then, two years of months went by -

The monster relationship, which had a lot of problems, was quite calm, and the children were gradually stronger and able to organize the gatekeepers, etc.

Reed is admired all around him for his brother's part in town, Mana also gets on the board as a teacher, and Rayna also supports Ryan well.

Lina and Tifa are still outstanding, Lina is a healing magician and Tifa is growing rapidly as an auxiliary magician. I think I've grown somewhat on the teaching side as well, but the speed will still be turtle.

And today, I even came to Ryan's house to talk about something important.

"Enrolled in magic school? Lina, please?

"Yeah, magical archery would be enough for Lord Azley, but I want that kid to absorb other knowledge. We've already taken the lead and the understanding of Mana, and Lina seems to be on board."

"You do have a desire to let me see the wider world. When I was younger... No, because I've been fighting since I was a kid. But how could it be now?

Ryan took the parchment wrapped out of two desk drawers and handed it to me.

"It's a letter of recommendation to the University of Magic. That kid is fifteen years old and finally completes his college eligibility. Or the other one is for Lord Azley. I'll take care of it whether you use it or not."

"I know..."

"The Magic University, the Warrior University, cannot enroll without a letter of recommendation from the head of the town."

"No, that's not the answer."

"... I'm sorry. That paper is just an excuse."

What do you mean, an excuse?

Besides, I went to magic college... and it was me who came out recessed in the difference in talent from around me?

"It's an excuse to kick you out."

"I'm gonna kick you out... oh, there's something bothering you -"

Ryan gets his hands on me and blocks my words.

"I don't want you to get me wrong. That was a bad word. I want to send you out."

"What the hell is that...?

"Though still only in the South and East Sides, it has finally recovered, albeit with minimal function as a town. There are wells in the East Side, and the waterway will be completed in no time. We're fine now. So Lord Azley is okay to leave this place."

"But!"

"Don't take a sweet look at us."

That was a powerful, core voice out of that warm Ryan.

"You must have a purpose. I think we have a duty to inform the world about its purpose and its knowledge. Bailanaea, home to the University of Magic and the University of Warriors, is a place where all supplies and information gather. So why don't you take Lina there? And you can gather information there and head to the demon king's pocket. They may say it's convenient, but they don't have the power to send Lina to Bailanaea to us. Lina's wish, why don't you make our wish come true?

…………

"To be honest, I personally am full of desire for you to stay.... but that shouldn't be the case. Humans are things that lean against the big pillars. But that's not the only way to live the wider world. I want people in this town to be like that. I want you to be such a powerful, and then humane person. Of course, to Lord Azley..."

Heavy, and sharp words pierce my heart.

Surely Ryan is right. The original purpose was achieved. But I didn't leave here.

It was cozy...... of course it does too. But the most important thing was that I was going to do the same thing again.

Ryan made me realize that. If I hadn't noticed, I would have done the same thing again until Pooch told me to.

- The fool who makes it.

"... what are you planning to leave?

"The time for admission is imminent. It would be nice to leave early and tonight, tomorrow at the latest."

"That's pretty steep."

"The only thing sudden is Lord Azley, Lina and Lord Porch are already ready."

Porch, are you aware of yourself as a demon?

"Hahahahaha, Lord Porch taught you that?

"Heh, what?

"'It's more effective to tell the master on the earthen!' And I asked. Apparently, you succeeded."

"............... you surprised me"

"Yeah, I'm surprised too"

"No, Mr. Ryan............ the Porch stuff is too good to imitate......"

"Ha-ha-ha, I've been practicing for about thirty minutes!

This is Falltown charisma...... you've been dating for two years and you still don't know.

That night, I went to the East Gate with Porch to sort myself out.

At the east gate were Reed and Mana, as well as Lina and Tifa.

"Oops, warrior...... no, you're a magician out"

"Is that Reed? You're not gonna cry when your favorite Lina's gone?

"Uh, I already did that. Look, there's tear marks here, right?

"Ah, Mana! You promised you wouldn't tell me!

I do see tear marks. Why do you care about your sister?

"Doctor, are you sure you're going?

Tifa tells me to squirt as she grabs my hem.

This child is already twelve years old. He's an excellent student, just like Lina.

"Tifa, I have my homework in the house where the teacher lived. Take a good look at it later. If you have done your homework, drill yourself from it and learn for yourself.... okay?

"Yeah...... I'll do my best! Lina, I'll try so hard you can't beat your sister! So when I'm fifteen... I'm going to magic college!

"Lina, aren't you a powerful sister apprentice?

Reed teases Lina as she arms up.

Tifa was about to cry, but she seems to be enjoying herself hard.

"What are you talking about, Tifa's gonna be a better magician than I am. Tifa, we're just a little bit ahead of you, right?

"I'll catch up soon."

"Even so, Lina, you're a fine robe, aren't you? Is that what happened?

"This is from the fine cloth that Mr. Ryan had, and Rayna made it for me."

Lina was wrapped in a pitch-black robe. Its interior is embroidered in silver for exorcism.

A robe with a good understanding of the body line, with a fur mixed with white and silver colours around the neck, which is connected to the hood of the back.

It seemed flashy, but it looked oddly firm when Lina wore it. It would be due to Lina's appearance becoming more and more adult these days.

"I wish I had used this to change my master."

"Did you change your pants?

"The taste of invisible places is certainly important. But that's what my bad title is, so I think you should realize it's gone."

"Damn, it's one loud one all the time. Look, this looks somewhat better, doesn't it?

I hung my glasses and appealed to him with a serious look.

"I know my glasses look good on my master, but isn't that... arr (,)?

Porch delivers it to my ear in a whisper.

"Finished yesterday. From the success of the improvement, it can be used even if worn constantly."

"... didn't think you'd get mad at me for telling you that?

"It's automatic switchable!

"... the stupidity of making"

That thing suddenly made the words seem cheaper, huh?

"What are you talking about? It's time, I don't like time to get laid. Get out of here."

"Come home once in a while."

"Good luck, Doctor, sister Lina!

"" Yes!

Me, Porch, and Lina were dropped off by the Reeds and started going for Magic University.

We felt the East Gate make a blunt noise and close and go with our backs cheering Tifa, who kept waving even at a distance.

The hole in my heart was bigger than when I left that long-dwelling dungeon. An unspeakable sense of wonder.

There will be a lot more to come. Maybe I can say that my starting point in that is this Falltown.
