Three days have passed since the accident that turned the Dark Knight (Odin) into a straight two.

We were visiting the jungle this day.

I'm walking in the woods with bad scaffolding, so I guess I'll use my strength nicely. Mr. Noir is in a mess.

If you breathe and blow the obstacle, you can have a beautiful path... but if you do too much, it's the Dark Knight's two dances.

I'm sorry about that horror experience again, so I just have to face nature as it is.

"I need some water."

"Drinking while walking is dangerous, and you can rest here"

"I agree."

Sit back on an affordable rock and give Mr. Noir a water bottle.

Mr. Noir, who moistened his throat, hit me with a question.

"Are you sure you're a human being up ahead?

I have a lot of questions, but I can't help but think so.

The map we rely on shows where the stronger 'creatures' are than Mr. Noir.

I'm pretty sure Mr. Tico lives in this forest... but if he was weaker than Mr. Noir, that red dot would mean someone else.

I mean, it could be a demon, not one.

"Anyway, I just have to believe it now. That red dot is Mr. Tico."

"If you believe me, I believe you too."

The conversation comes together, and we resume our steps.

That's how we spent a few hours walking across the break... When the sun was about to set, we went out to a flickering place.

"I don't know... it's a place I miss"

"Does it look like your birthplace?

"It's not my birthplace, it's like The Devil's Forest. Just like this. That's what a house was built like."

I'm referring to a wooden house. It's a handmade house made of planks.

This sight reminds me of my days in the Devil's Forest.

"I'd like to go once."

"I'll show you later. I want to see Grandpa Maurice, too."

Besides, the red dots showed that house.

Living in a house means this red dot must be human - Mr. Tico.

"Finally face to face with Mr. Tico..."

At last, the master approached me and from time to time.

This kind of thing is key to a first impression.

Don't be rude to Tico, we have to say hello!

I stand in front of the door and take a deep breath.

Dgowwwwwwwwww!!!!

The door blew up and the house was half-baked.

You're lying...

I'm not talking about the worst part of blowing up my master's house!

Please, if you're dreaming, wake me up!

I hope so strongly, but the house remains half-baked.

"It could be the result."

Mr. Noir inspires me.

I'm glad to hear that, but I guess this won't turn out to be O'Rei...

I don't see a bright future, and the only sight that comes up is that of Mr. Tico paying me in front of the gate.

But it's still better if they just pay you in advance. Getting rid of me means Mr. Tico's safe.

"Anyway, now we need to make sure Mr. Tico's safe or not..."

"That sounded amazing."

I tried to step into the house, and one of the women came out of the back.

Looks serene, blonde, dressed in green... if there's an elf in this world, I guess this is what it looks like.

This one is Mr. Tico...... So, is that okay?

No, whoever this one is, there's one thing I need to do.

"Excuse me! I'm the one who broke the house! Um, are you hurt?

"I'm fine. You're right, it's pimpy."

"Really..."

As I stroke my chest down, Mr. Tico (?) takes a serious look at the house.

"Still, you ventilate a lot better. The windows have slipped badly here, and I've been having trouble opening them. Thanks for saving me the trouble of opening the window."

"... aren't you angry?

"I wouldn't be angry if the house was broken. Besides, everything is destined to break one day. Our life expectancy was today. That's all I'm talking about."

You're amazingly calm, but this means you're so psychic.

The strength of magic is closely related to spiritual power - that is, Mr. Tico (?) means a really strong wizard.

I've heard stories, but once again I realize I'm an amazing wizard.

"By the way, you're Ash, right?

"Do you know me?

"There's no one who doesn't know you. Besides, Sharm contacted me the other day. He asked me to say hello. Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm late, but I'm Tico."

You mean Mr. Sharm contacted me in advance? When I get back to Elstania, I have to thank you.

"What are you talking about? You should come in first."

Mr. Tico invites us, and we sit back in the blown chair on our backs.

"I asked Sharm. You want to be my apprentice."

"Yes! I want to be the Great Wizard! I want to teach Mr. Tico how to boost his magic!

Tico laughs at me.

"I don't mind. Friends of friends are friends. That's all I can do for you."

However, Mr. Tico raised his index finger.

"There's one thing I need you to do. I want you to hear that before training."

"Please?

"Yeah. I need you to help me fix my house. As you can see, I'm weak. I just wanted a man like you."

Of course, I did.
