Menardo Castle, Alberto's room.

"..."

"Uh-huh."

Someone shakes his body from the top of the blanket.

Trying to wake me up asleep feeling good.

"Al...... t"

"... ahhh"

Oh, the pleasant mellow drifts away.

A voice trying to pull me back in peace.

I turn over to resist the Lord of my voice.

"... Mr. Alberto, please wake up"

Who the hell is that? The fool who disturbs my sleep.

A troubled voice that interrupts the consciousness of a semi-awakening state.

I have no sign of giving up, so I have no choice but to wake up.

When I still open my heavy eyelids, I see the girl with blue hair in my eyes.

"... is the fool Luminaria"

"... so who is the fool!

Then I ran my mouth off about what I was thinking.

If this happens, let's make it bedtime bullshit and try to force it through.

Look at my demeanor and sigh loudly Luminaria.

"Wake up early, it's already... it's night, by the way"

"Right... Huh."

When I open my mouth, I get a natural and a big stretch.

You're still drowsy and blurred vision.

The light installed next to the bed blinds.

"Mmm..."

When I rubbed my shobby eyes, my vision became only slightly clearer.

In a fuzzy bed, antique furniture with an atmosphere.

It's a familiar room where I live.

Get yourself out of bed slowly and stretch out your body greatly.

"... Yikes!

"Mr. Alberto?

What? I just got a mild pain in my abdomen.

But if you look at your stomach, there are no injuries or other abnormalities.

In the first place, most of my injuries heal quickly.

Is it some kind of phantom pain?

"Does it hurt somewhere?

"No, I'm fine"

Tell Luminaria not to worry.

It triggers a stomach ache and reminds me of my memory before I go to sleep.

Back in the city, when Leese got a body blow......

Before dawn today, me and Luminaria came back to town.

Rutherfam, Reese and Ginn greeted us back after the crusade, on the beach.

"Luminaria!"

"... father"

"Luminaria! Luminaria aaaaaaa!

When he sees his daughter, Razapham rushes to a glance.

Embrace my daughter, hugging her hard as she calls out her name.

Luminaria had embraced her father's embrace with great admiration.

Though it would be a little embarrassing to be yelled out loud and over again. That's all that worried my father.

Rutherfam didn't sleep until we got back. They've been waiting for us.

Lasafam carefully checks her daughter's condition for injuries.

After he was relieved to make sure he was safe and ho, Razafam was praising Luminaria for saying "well done".

"...... n," Luminaria muttered, gripping back strongly at her father's clothes.

I guess there are all kinds of emotions in that one word.

I'm glad you recognized my father for his efforts...

So, well... what is it?

Parents and children exchanging touching embraces sideways, I'm the one who came home feeling full of anxiety over the level seven magic thing......

"Ha, I'm home now, Mr. Reese"

"... Welcome home, Alberto"

"Heh, I am pleased to report that we have defeated the mutant species"

I'm freaking out and I'll report the victory to Liese.

I'm afraid to look at my face, so even if I see you again, don't look at me...

Me moving my mouth with a mockingjay while I look down.

"Uh, the city's... current, what's the situation?

What happened to the city with the aftermath of Level Seven magic? Ask Reese to be ready.

Afraid to hear the results...... nervousness makes me sweat.

"There's been flooding damage in several sections along the coast."

"Really?"

Maybe the tsunami didn't come...... what a pale expectation is smashed.

"Thanks to Mr. Razapham's perception, we were able to give a quick evacuation order, so no human harm has been done."

Reese answers my question lightly.

After all, the impact of "Everything Is Dust (All Dust)" extended to the city.

Two hours after I cast my magic, the tsunami hit the city.

I was relieved that there were no dead or injured people for now......

"How much damage, by the way..."

"... you want to hear it?

"Yes, no..."

Me rubbing my hands together and mouth cage.

"... I'll make sure, but you did it for sure, didn't you?

"Well, that's... I'm checking the factual relationship right now..."

"Am I?"

"Yes, no, yes, I did it"

Reese's voice color changed.

Again, the only bad objection is to oil the fire.

(Doing what?

Hoping someone could change this air......

"Um... Liese, sister"

"Luminaria, what?

Luminaria is coming next to me, away from Lasafam.

"Actually..."

Luminaria explains the situation to Liese.

That the mutant species went wild, that it was a situation where they had to shoot Level Seven magic.

Once again, I let the magic go after a critical calculation.

"... yes"

Finish the conversation, and Reese squeals so much.

I look her in the eye from the front and bow my head again.

"Uh, the... I'm sorry"

……

Wait for Reese to say something.

Crouch down and sand your knees in an attempt to convey my sincerity.

Put your hands and feet on the sand and try to take the example setup.

"Don't worry... stand up"

Reese interrupts my dungeon.

"... I see what's going on, Alberto."

"... Oh, that?

Unexpectedly, I raise my face.

There was Reese's face as usual.

"Oh... is that all?

You're gonna convince me?

Um, maybe you're not that mad?

Something like this, I thought you'd get more reprimands...

"... you had to shoot me, didn't you?

"Oh, yeah. Then I just said, 'Am I? What was that scary voice?

"'Cause you tried to be sober! Confirming the factual relationship or something appropriate..."

Uh, you mean angry because you tried to delude me?

Things are too good to tell, and you're still a little scared.

"... Ohhhh!

"Huh?"

Reese's arm grabs my shoulder tightly.

"Well, of course I feel like complaining. But... I sent you and Luminaria all the problems that I and your brother had to deal with... and I have responsibilities, and I should be responsible for the hardships and pain."

"... Liese"

"Alberto, I saw it from a cruise ship when I came to this city, a stick dotted at sea...... remember?

"Oh, my God, all of a sudden... when I do get ahead of the stick, there are more dangerous demons, landmarks and all that."

"I have other roles to play... that is, it has become a magic item. At the same time, the stone wall (Stonewall) that your brother put in is activated as it breaks under certain conditions such as wave flow and tide level… one-time tsunami protection."

"Oh, is that what happened?"

... and I didn't know.

You mean the stone wall served as an impromptu tsunami jetty by activating it to surround the city?

"If it were worse, I might not have been able to say just like right now... the damage would have been stopped to some extent. If we had fought a proper defense against the mutant species, the damage would have spread more."

……

That the power of the tsunami had also been somewhat attenuated thanks to the fact that the city of Menardo was more than three hundred kilometres away from the Marine Palace.

impromptu jetty, these two reduced the tsunami damage to some extent.

Still, it was not possible to cover the entire city, but some embankments were installed separately in places as important as the commercial area, and they were safe.

Thanks to this, it didn't affect the center of the city, and it was only necessary to the extent that some buildings were flooded in a low position in the coastal area.

They say one thing about magic items is quite expensive at millions of gold, but as a restoration task it doesn't even take that long.

Oh...... I really appreciate Clive.

I'm really glad he has the personality to prepare for it.

"You did me my unscrupulous favor. He defeated that mutant. You had a hard time, didn't you?

"...... Li, Liese"

"It's a victory you got. I don't blame you for thanking me. So... as always, if you report a grand victory with an invincible face... no, well, that would be a little mocking."

It conveys just a little bit of patience from the verses of the word, but still, it's kind of forgiving, Liese.

Forgiveness lifts the thread of tension that was straining my mind.

"... Liese... Liese... Whoa, whoa, whoa!

"... hey!

Out of relief, I'm so impressed that I accidentally hug Liese.

Reese's warmth conveys a soft feeling to my body.

"Liiseye! I love it!

"Already...... yes! Alberto."

Reese slaps me in the back with a ton.

Oh... good, you've forgiven me.

Yabe, you're so adorable, you piece of shit.

"Reese! Reese!

"Of! Hey, where are you touching me? Come on, don't whip your back! Him!"

"Reese! Reese!

I don't care if you hug me.

The embrace of gratitude continues.

The embrace was continued until Reese's full body blow flew in.

"Safe and more than anything... I'm floating alone, what am I supposed to do?"

I was impressed by the appearance of Ginn, who would feel unusual floating.

"............... well, you're back"

Finish the fight against the mutant species and be aware that there has been a lot but you have returned safely.

The first thing that came to mind when I woke up was Reese's body blow.

Well, I also feel like me.

I'm waking up, too, so I decide to make a blurry move.

If you head to the window and open the curtain and look outside, it's certainly dark.

We ended the fierce battle with mutants yesterday at noon and after a short break we came back to the city.

It was before dawn today that I returned from the sea to the city.

I slept right after that...

"You've been sleeping for over half a day, I..."

"It was a fierce fight. I just woke up too..."

"Well... Luminaria, how are you feeling?

I'm not the only one who fought, and so is Luminaria.

Fighting mutant species, going back and forth to Marine Palace and she should also be quite tired.

I've been in the ocean for over a day.

"I'm fine. I'm still a little tired, but it just consumed my magic and strength. I'm barely hurt because Mr. Alberto protected me..."

"Oh well."

That's what you say, Luminaria, who cheers on me.

It only lights up a little bit in a smile of gratitude that can be pointed straight at me.

"... I'm sorry I couldn't."

"Yes, I'm also going to take a few days off from my guild job. If you're unscrupulous, you'll worry about your father again."

"Ha... right"

Luminaria and I laugh at each other.

"... no, why did you wake me up?

"I'm talking about having a celebration tonight to defeat the mutant species... because it's time to be ready"

"... oh, you did"

I finally remember.

Is that why Luminaria came to my room?

"Mr. Ginn is already at the castle."

"Oh well... go"

"... wait a minute"

Luminaria stops me from going to the door.

I put my hands on my hips and said something. He's got that look on his face.

"Let's get the room cleaned up some more. Bed sheets are a mess, and no matter how regularly the maid fixes them..."

"Uh... yes, excuse me"

"The curtains have been opened in half, and I can't help it anymore..."

That's what Luminaria says, and handily cleans the room.

Bedmaking and picking up my stuff scattered on the floor.

I'll leave it to Luminaria to keep everyone waiting too long.

"... wow, wow"

"... Mr. Alberto is like an old father"

Luminaria tells me in her face that she had no choice.

I'm not too happy about that.

You think there's a similarity to the sloppiness?

……♪

(Even so, was Luminaria such a caretaker?

Is it your fault?

The side of the luminaria you work on looks somewhere fun.

Sure, though she was carefree and not without such an atmosphere.

Something about the impression that you're going to step in more than ever.

You got a little more intimacy in the mutant warfare?... Oh, my God.

Aside from that, a few questions came to mind as I watched Luminaria.

"What, what is it? Jizz, look at me."

"I don't think so... my daughter spoiled my father in the mountains because she turned Rutherfam into a bad guy, right?

"... Huh?

Luminaria's movement stops perfectly, and Gigi and his neck turn this way.

(Huh? You didn't realize?

I also feel understandable that if you've been taking care of him like this for so long, Razapham will be the one who does nothing.

"What are you talking about, Mr. Alberto... no more... please don't"

………

"Yeah, yeah... that's not true. Yeah... that's why... no way"

In the eyes of Jito, Luminaria laughs empty-handedly.

... is that true?
