Episode 5: Reunion with Lewis

Skywalk came to Flaepara.

I thought it was a noisier city than King's City.

I miss it.

Seeing the streets that haven't changed since then reminds me of my life here.

I'd like to put my face on Tempest and show Lloyd and the others how well they are, but I don't have much time.

It was the Federation of Adventurer Guilds that moved around the city early on.

Louis is the one I want to help with.

I think Louis has something to do with the people at Emeritus College.

No, there must be.

A man named Lewis has such a wide network.

The receptionist was very surprised when she entered the Federation of Adventurer Guilds.

"Is that you, River!? You came back!

"Just in case. Is Mr. Lewis here now?

"Yes! I think I work in my usual room"

I'm glad we can meet.

If I hadn't come this far, I would have wasted my day.

"May I see you?

"Of course! The Federation President will be delighted!

"Thank you."

"... just for the record, I've been feeling a little lonely since Livel left Flaepara, Alliance leader."

The receptionist approached me, looked around and talked secretly.

Mr. Lewis seemed lonely, didn't he?

I can't imagine anything like that...

The receptionist gave me permission to visit. I went to see Louis.

I took a deep breath in front of the room once.

Haven't seen you in a while, you seem a little nervous.

Knock on the door.

"Go ahead."

And I heard it, so I said, "Excuse me," and went inside.

"... well, this is an interesting visitor."

Mr. Lewis, it's been a long time.

"Oh, it's been two years.... how are you?

Louis' expression was a gentle smile I had never seen before two years ago.

"I'm fine.... until yesterday."

I see. I know what's going on.

"Just this...? You're early."

Sort of. The entrance exam at Eiji School was held much earlier than usual. That means you're coming to see me at this hour, right?

"You're absolutely right, Mr. Lewis."

I once again felt the awesomeness of Louis.

"So, what do you want me to do? Well, I can almost imagine without asking."

"Please let me meet with the Dean of Emeritus with the help of Mr. Lewis. Thank you, of course."
