"... Something's suddenly quiet."

"Well, Sator-kun's gone, too."

"The knights are back..."

Mai groans, and Megumi and Aika also mouth a little lonely.

And then the peach, is that it? and chirp his neck.

"Nagare, where have you been?

"Oh, it's true, my teacher! No way! Teacher's on a journey!

"I'm here."

The peach leaned his neck and Flem panicked, but then Nagare, who had disappeared at some point as he rattled his pacca pacca and horse's hoof, returned.

He was so crossed by a beautiful furry white horse, and had a horn on his forehead.

"Huh! Lying, is this a unicorn?

"... Speaking of which, I saw it on the way"

"Ah! Mr. Bitchet is a horse too!?"

Apparently Bitchet brought back his beloved horse in Bitchet.

Such a horse she rides is a bicorn with two horns growing from her forehead.

Speaking of which, you were unique.

"Don't forget."

By the way, when Nagare was in the labyrinth, Satoru asked me to ask her for something unique about the unicorn if anything happened to her.

Satoru may have expected goodbye once from then on.

"... I saw this unicorn on the way"

"Yeah, Satoru hid it so someone wouldn't find it, but did you notice the boulder bitchet"

"Huh? Satoru was on this? But a unicorn..."

"No way! Satoru was a girl!?"

Peach surprised me.

Yeah! And Rosa was surprised, too.

But Nagare denied it.

"No, this unicorn seems pretty rare, but it's like a female unicorn."

"Oh well! So you can ride Nagare too!

"... I'm excited about bicorns in the udder"

Apparently, the stallion's bicorn is overturned by his unicorn.

But no matter how you approach it, Unique doesn't look like you're dealing with him at all. Completely sleeves. It is a sinful unicorn.

"Well, Unique is connected to Satoru. Still, you've been well missed for that uniqueness. '

Pfft, and Nagare smiles back.

And because Uni isn't that tough on women either, Mai, Megumi, Aika, Peach and Rosa were caressing their hair in a comfortable way.

So was the bicorn I was about to miss.

But for some reason Kyle and Flem were uniquely kicked away.

"But Nagare, what are you going to do after this?

Peach asks once he finishes a unicorn or bicorn with love.

"Right. I know there's been a lot of progress on the Empire, but will we stay here for a while because it's a corner?"

"Huh? Are you staying here?

Mai asks strangely. Honestly, the status quo is that Mai, Megumi and Aika also have no choice but to act with the Nagares, but I guess I didn't think they were going to stay here.

"Yes, the corner flem was motivated, and you should be able to do more to spend time in this world, including Mai, Megmi and Aika."

Mouth it that far.

"Mai's role making in particular is a skill that needs to be developed for the future. In that sense, this place is perfect for training."

"Heh? Is this the perfect place to train?

Peach rounded his eyes.

You train in the woods? And maybe I'm thinking about it.

"Yes, have you forgotten? It just came out right now, but isn't there a perfect training ground?"

"Oh, could that be..."

"Are you going to attack this ancient labyrinth again?

Kyle seems anxious and Rosa asks Nagare too.

I did just come out, and I guess I didn't think I was going to dive again.

"We had a lot of hasty business at first, so we couldn't possibly have totally attacked after all. It looks like Akechi just got his Excalibur and he's back."

"Does that mean that even Akechi still has the untattacked part, Doctor?

"You will be."

"Ooh! I'm so motivated. Ooh!

Apparently Flem is intrigued.

"... Nagare is a boulder, no pull"

"That, I'm going, too, right? So, are you okay?

"What are you talking about! This is an opportunity, Lord!

Megmi seemed anxious somewhere, but it's been a long time since Excalibur's voice got there.

"Oh, speaking of which, you could have spoken."

'Hido! It would be too harsh!

"Hmm, it's bad that the shade is thin in the habit of the Holy Sword"

"Shut up, shut up, shut up! Well, I don't know what the wind is blowing, but I've been trying to shelter humans for a little while and they look great. I didn't dare speak when I read the atmosphere! That's about as good a guess as it gets. '

"You simply wouldn't have been able to get into the wheel"

"Plump!"

Mr. Holy Sword is likely to repent.

"Nagare, by the way, I have one favor to ask of you."

"Would you do me a favor?

When Nagare inquired, the Book of the Devil, um, became, and as soon as it did, the Book of the Devil in Nagare's hands glowed - and from inside, what, two demons showed themselves.

"I was surprised, too, when Heradonna and Caspary League really wanted to leave."

And the Book of the Devil explains it. As a precaution, Heradonna, a beautiful, seductive demon with green skin who appeared, and for some reason, a black cat-shaped demon Casparig with a doll-like appearance on her shoulder.

"... I was finally able to come out"

"Kihihihihihihihihi"

It is Mai who blinks at such two demons.

"Sure, the demon you were with Sator-kun, right? But why?

"It is… to identify Master Nagare"

"Heh? Give me a nagare?

"It's a busy demon to identify a teacher!

"Well, look, something's beautiful, and it feels like a jerk, and if you're such a demon, you're welcome to have it!

"... Kyle -"

Rosa looks at something very unfortunate.

"I, to be honest, have doubts about Master Nagare. But in the end, he is also the one Satoru believed in. The truth is, at a time when Master Satoru didn't stop being taken - I can't help but hate him!

Suddenly, under the feet of Nagare, the ground was bogged up, and from there the plants were stretched out, and Nagare was goosed, and a sharp pile-shaped branch was thrust upon the entire body of Nagare.

If Heradonna manipulates it at all, an instant sign of moving to skewer Nagare.

Frem, Doctor! and rushed to pull out his double sword, but it was controlled by Nagare with his eyes, and his calm face turned to Heradonna as if nothing had happened.

"... really, you're the one with no tension."

And both the goose and the sticking branches instantly return to their origins.

"I didn't feel any sign of harm."

"... it's just now, too. I'll wait a little while for Satoru, but if it turns out to be unconvincing, I'll kill you and I'll rescue you no matter what."

Heradonna declares so. Things are noisy inside, but the feeling of thinking of Satoru seems real.

"But if you're on Satoru-kun's side, you're on our side. Nice to meet you, Mr. Heradonna."

Then Mai approached her and reached out. But Heradonna turns away a lot after staring at it.

"Huh! Hey, why..."

I can tell you, Mai.

"You wanted to see this girl more than I did, so I'll give it to you."

"To?"

On Mai's shoulder with her face up, it was the Caspary League who rode Piong.

"Did you want to see me? This girl?

"- Ne, cute? Pretty? '

Then the Caspary League asks Mai that.

Then, to that appearance - Mai looked murky, and.

"Kah! Lovely!

And I hugged and moffed as much as I wanted. The Caspary League seems happy to laugh.

It seems that this demon, which cannot be touched by nature, has also embodied itself because of the strength of its thoughts.

"Apparently, that demon was once hailed by Mai as cute."

I did say that during Satoru, but it must have been a rather casual word.

But still, I guess I was happy for the Caspary League.

And the Caspary League looks at Nagare in a rough way.

"Caspary League likes Mai, and so do you"

"Thank you"

Unexpectedly, Nagare honestly thanked the devil who spoke normally.

When it comes to Nagare, even the Caspary League makes even a soft atmosphere feel to only the man who says it's impossible to curse it.

That said, two new demons were thus added, and future policies were set. For now, it's this hero's castle base (Castle Heroic) offense before the Empire thing settles down.

I just asked if I could do that on my own, but Nagare's F-rank is useful here. Yes, if it is an F-ranked Nagare, it is naturally free to attack the labyrinth, and its Nagare admitted companions are able to attack it in an equivalent manner.

That said, there will be fatigue in the boulder now - although it is a wild boarding house for a day, it was decided to talk in the form of resting the body and hoping to attack from tomorrow morning...

That night, Kyle watched the starry sky alone in a position where the castle of the hero's castle base (Castle Heroic) could be seen in the front.

Everyone is asleep to rest their bodies for the next day and after dinner.

In particular, Flem and Peach seemed to have been trained by Nagare before that, even though, as far as Flem was concerned, he was half dead because of his much tighter training than before, as previously declared.

But you seem to be sleeping well.

"Guys, you're trying..."

I whine about that. Looking at the stars of heaven stretching out on one side of the sky.

"Can't you sleep?

Second, a gentle voice that reaches your back.

Looking back, there was Nagare.

"Nagare was awake, too."

"Yes, I was just moving my body, too, a little bit"

A little, Kyle laughs bitterly. I don't feel like I'm sweating or anything, but I still know I'm doing more training every day than I can think of in a regular person.

Anyway, this 15-year-old boy has accomplished a scattered epic feat so far.

I can't imagine at all how much training Kyle has packed to get that much strength.

"Really Nagare is awesome - and Fleme and Peach are all stronger, and compared to that, yummy..."

Kyle groans somewhere lonely. I heard and knew that Flem and Peach had defeated Satoru's servant demons.

Speaking of myself - I almost put Aika and Rosa in danger. I got nothing because of Bitchet's help - but it seems to be floating, which is actually surprisingly spiritual.

"- Labyrinth attack from tomorrow, I wonder if it's okay to keep up with the food... I'm honestly not sure. I think it's gonna be everyone's leg."

I say that with a similar look to giving up. Usually he feels light, but I guess he had something to hold on to.

I've spent a lot of time with Frem and Rosa as adventurers and companions. I want to help for both of you, I don't want to be a foot wrapper, I'm sure that thought is twice as strong as a person.

That's why it bothers me.

"… When do you think Kyle will visit the limit?

To Kyle like that, Fu Nagare asks.

Huh? And Kyle glanced at Nagare, and answered with his eyes down.

"... status or level, or when that stops growing at all. Maybe that's exactly the way it is now."

Laughs masochistically. But Nagare takes it seriously with her eyes.

"- I believe it will come when I myself have set the limit that no more is possible."

"... Huh?

"What Kyle is saying now seems to happen a lot in this world where status is taken for granted. But if you stop there, you'll never want to grow any more."

"... you mean that's what you want right now?

"- It can also be said that Kyle is now in a state where he is pounding against one wall. It's up to you to get over it, but - it's not just you, it's everyone's path, and the supremacy that has accomplished so many great things, is getting higher by getting over that wall."

Listen to Nagare - as soon as you say hi, Kyle whines.

"... is that what happens to Nagare?

I asked him that, and Nagare nodded.

"Of course I have it, too. I'm a human being, too."

"Huh? Oh, yeah, yeah, is that it?

Kyle put his arms around him and put his neck up.

It is true that Nagare may seem like something different from a person on the whole, but it is nevertheless a person's child.

"But - honestly, come on. I don't know what else to do. Of course, the bow arm has been practiced to polish it."

"Well, Kyle kept practicing his bow in the shadows, too."

"Ha, you found out about the boulder nagging"

Kyle smiles bitterly as he scratches his jaw.

"... well, you might want to change your mind about one thing here"

"Huh? Thinking?

"Yes, you can't naturally throw away a bow because it's Kyle's specialty weapon, but besides raising the bow's arm, you think of one way. Kyle, for example, should have something in his status that he hasn't taken advantage of yet. You might want to review it again from there."

"Something in your status... that you haven't taken advantage of -"

"And Kyle seems to like stars."

"Oh, yeah. Looking at some starry sky, I don't feel like my heart is washed. Besides, when you look at the starry sky all the time, even if it's a small thing."

Normally, I dare say that this time it didn't work either.

"Really, then you might want to keep looking at the stars even further this time. Unexpectedly, the hangover that changes you is a sleeping thing."

"Looking at the stars...... uhh, like I get it, like I don't get it, but it made it a little easier. Right, we have to work hard from where we can do it."

That's how the smile I showed had the usual bright Kyle smile back.

And Nagare went into the back of the woods to train again, and Kyle looked at the stars, laughing bitterly that he was still going to do it.

As Nagare put it, with all the sarcasm - looking at the stars.

In the meantime - is that it? and patchy eyes.

"- I don't know. Something right now, and the status of not being able to take advantage of the yummy, maybe..."

Kyle then sets up a bow and releases an arrow toward heaven. Kyle, who kept repeating it several times, looked like he could grasp something, couldn't grasp it -
