"I wish there was some movement."
"Oh, yeah."
Rona and Aldis walk on the road to the royal city for the first time in a month, exchanging words like a small talk.
The sky is clear. The warm sun falls and the sun rises a bit more and you'll be sweaty and cheerful.
Aldis who came back to this world said he was “resting” and spent most of the day sleeping, but he was hungry no matter how lazy he was. If you are hungry, you will need to eat, and eating will reduce your stockpile of food. It is inevitable to go shopping for food as a natural result. When Nere told me that flour would run out the day after tomorrow, he had no choice but to lift his hips.
"I don't think it's going to be so convenient from now on. It's enough to get a clue right now."
The topic of Aldis and Rona is the way back to the world, or door, that was open near the Duke's mansion.
After being sent to the world with Minerva and others, a year later, the doors were reopened and the Ardis were able to return. Last time, the Ardiss forced the doors to open, but now that the entrances to the world beyond have disappeared, the doors will probably not open again.
The Duke was told to keep watch in the woods and watch the changes regularly, but Aldis has little hope for that door. Hesitating If the doors were so easy to open, Aldis wouldn't have had much to come back to from here.
But now, Ardis has crossed the world three times. Then it is no wonder that the fourth opportunity comes.
Curse "Yeah. If you find that" ", you can go back again."
Sugi Aldis speaks to Rona's words.
There is a curse set up for Minerva. That was some good news for Aldis. It's not clear how to get it or how to use it, but at least you can open the door between this world and the rest of the world with the help of a spell. If only the effect is used without involving the surrounding people as in this case, it will be possible to return to the world beyond Aldis alone.
"However, there are too many things I don't even know about that curse."
"What you don't understand, for example?"
"Why weren't you at the duke's house at that time, why were you taken to the other world like Lona and Minerva?"
Goal Aldis's story has been answered, "Ruh, sure."
"Well, I can make some guesswork."
"Guess?"
Aldis then glances at the words that pop out of Rona's mouth.
"Yeah. Al's story was that you were thrown here by Elion's technique, right?"
"Oh, Elion didn't intend to do that, but was the art incomplete or failed to activate ..."
"And when I noticed, I was here. And I was weakened by a child."
The circumstances have been explained to Rona during the past month.
"But when he was there, Al was the same in appearance and power, didn't he?"
Aldis, when he regained consciousness in the world beyond, certainly regained his former form and power. However, they were lost again upon returning to this world.
"What happened?"
"Hmmm, that's why Al's own isn't split over here because of Erion's strange art."
"division?"
Kan: It's good to say that you're an alter ego. I don't know if that kind of phenomenon might actually happen, but when you think about it, Al's weakness and his body are rejuvenating will fall somehow. Isn't this al and the original al together? "
Aldis was puzzled by Rona's unexpected guess.
"That's what it has to do with this and that I got involved."
Isolation "I guess this too, but being originally in two was abnormal, wasn't it? The two worlds that were in that state were connected, albeit temporarily, to each other. The sword that Minerva had was full of Al's magic, and that sword had the role of a bridge between Al and the Al. Thinking like that-is it a bit forcible? ... But considering that I hadn't had any effect on Al when I opened the way back to the other world, that sword Can't we abandon the possibility that our existence has had any effect? "
A bunch of Aldis's thinking.
Although Rona's inferences seemed a bit difficult, there was no reason to say that this was absolutely impossible. However, given the lack of judgment, even if you think about it, you won't always know the right answer. So Aldis concludes and suspends the discussion.
"Well, whether that reasoning is right or wrong, you're still looking for that curse. And--
"in addition?"
"Even if I knew I didn't need to rush, it was a harvest."
"... That's right."
One year in this world is only one day in the other world. Even if Aldis spent ten years in this world, it would only take ten days to return. At least it won't mean that when you returned, your enemies were already dead.
Revenge Of course, from the very heart of Aldis, I want to go crushing my friends right away. But Aldis chose to return to this world.
Another ten years, or five years. Until Philia and Liana became independent, they decided to stay in this world. So there is no regret in the choice itself.
"It's convenient, depending on how you think. If she thinks that a few days will be a few years worth of me, it's just right to build her strength.
Even if he regains his original strength, there is no hope of being able to beat the general in Aldis today. Then you should have a way to win using the time you have won, at least as strong as you can.
"That's right, Al. I'm always following, can I just leave it?"
Rona asked, as if to remember Aldis, who was silent.
When Aldis stops thinking, he focuses on one reaction that has long been stuck in magical exploration.
The magical reaction began when the Aldis approached the royal city and caught the outer wall at the blind spot and entered the exploration area. Probably human in terms of size. He seemed to be watching this while keeping a certain distance without sticking.
The distance is not usually noticeable, but neither Aldis nor Rona are ordinary. As long as there is no response from other humans or beasts in the surroundings, it is clear that he is monitoring this purpose for some purpose.
"I don't have any signs of coming, and I don't mind if I'm not going into the forest. I suppose I hadn't been missing for a year.
For better or worse, Aldis is famous for its royal capital. Aldiz, who had always responded to the appearance of the royal capital since he was in the war with the Imperial Empire, had felt the presence of a person who would always observe or monitor him.
In addition, given the current situation, there is a possibility of monitoring under the direction of the Duke. Unless they do harm here, they will not be able to force them away.
"Well, it's okay if Al doesn't mind ... but if Philia and Liana come to the royal capital in the future, wouldn't it be bad to keep watching them?"
Aldis frowns at Rona's question. As a matter of fact, the twins tried to follow Aldis, who was heading to the capital this time.
"It's too early to take them to the royal capital."
"Hey Al. You know the word overprotection, right?"
Shut up When Rona tries to say, Aldis speaks.
"Some of them have to live in a secluded area. Shouldn't it be time to get involved with people?"
"……I know"
Aldis replied reluctantly to Rona, who soon attacked him.
When he met, he was afraid of all the people he saw, including Aldis, and said that the twins were afraid and would follow the royal capital full of people. That means their growth and at the same time proof that the wounds are healing.
"That's probably because they both learned the magic, and that's why Cyril has helped her to speak properly. Hey
"……Oh"
It seems that Cyril had been teaching twins all the time during the year when he was unable to contact Aldis. Correction The twins' wording was solid because of their value, and they had learned the common sense of the year. In itself, there is no problem, and it is rather pleasing.
What was unexpected was that they were using magic. Apparently this year, Nere was getting started.
Aldis Henelle, who had done extra stuff and revealed his inner heart, said:
"I know you're dissatisfied, but I don't know. It would be fine if I knew my Lord would return, but there was no guarantee. It's good now that Cyrill is still there, but he isn't always in the capital city? Who will then procure food and daily necessities? 』
Apparently, during the absence of Aldis, Kirill was undertaking the purchase of daily necessities along with the tutor.
But as Nere says, Cyril is not always in the royal capital. In a few years, he will graduate from school and will probably return to his hometown of Leiting. When this happens, Nere alone has to leave his twins at home, whether to go hunting or to the capital.
Aldis understood that he needed at least some protection. It was such a feeling that I could understand but could not understand.
"Even if you don't worry so much, you will be able to protect yourself as soon as you are in that condition. Both of you are now, um ... you were thirteen years old. Isn't that amazing? "
That's exactly what Rona says.
In the past month, Aldis has also been present at twins practicing magic. The basics used not "magic with chanting" as Cyril learned at the school, but "magic-magic based on the law of magic" like Aldis and Nere. . It does not require chanting and is not bound by existing patterns. It was heresy in this world, and at the same time a considerable advantage.
Twin sword beasts Of course, they cannot reach the territory of Aldis or Nere, but the twins have proven in the past month that they are used to fighting enough to defeat them. Its ability has already surpassed most of the students at Mariureth Academy.
It is not bad for twins to get the power they need for self-defense. There is, of course, a joy for Philia and Liana's growth. But foreseeing the future of the consequences, Ardis has a new headache.
