Episode 124: Goodbye

(Well. I don't know how I explained it)

Lynn was at a civilian rally.

I promised them Illywia's participation, but I couldn't bring Illywia here after all.

(I knew I'd be in a bad position)

Lynn was staring at the door of the conference room with a dark thought.

Lynn, who was presented with the limitations of her talents to Largya, was now clearly questioning this activity.

His airship concept was about to collapse with sound.

Would it make any more sense to participate in this activity?

(Still, if you run away, you'll be pushed into an even worse position. I really need to go here)

Lynn definitely opened the door.

Lynn was unable to call Illyweer and was cramped with explanations.

be questioned by the members of the Commission.

Why isn't Illyweer coming?

I was wondering if she was negative about our rally.

"It's not like that. It just seems like she has a situation too..."

"Like?

"What circumstances do you mean?

"That's... that..."

"After all, isn't she happy about us?

"You may consider her an enemy."

"Wait. It's … early."

"Lord Lynn!

I said it like one of the members cut the numbness.

"Which side on earth are you on? Are you on our side? Are you on the aristocratic side?"

"It doesn't solve anything just to regard nobility as an enemy. I think there are ways to improve treatment without antagonizing them."

"But your opportunistic attitude is confusing people."

"The rally has already lost its goal and is stuck"

"Every day, our courage is lost and our participation rate is getting worse. People are disappointed. If we don't set up some sort of crackdown, we'll be in a position for a breakup."

"If you're not going to attack the nobility, I want you to come up with some alternative. specific measures to unlock this blocked situation."

"Is there any way to open it?

"That's nothing right now. Though..."

"Then we still have to attack the nobles! Retaliation for the past that has trampled and abused us so far!

Everybody, listen up.

"I am now planning to build an airship.

Once completed, only we can reach places that have never been reached by anyone in the Tower's Magic Instructor yet, and we can trade goods. This will allow the civilian population to gain new financial resources and foundations.

It is by no means a myth. Certain high-ranking magicians have also been promised cooperation. This is not yet a plan on the table, but she is currently embarking on a new lighthouse construction plan. We can get involved in this plan, too. So why don't you all go for it together? "

The executives asked questions after a moment of silence.

"Who the hell is that high-ranking magician?"

"I'm a guy named Atrea. He's still young, but he's already reached over 500 floors, and he's a promising future magician."

"Atrea? You've never heard of it."

"If you really want to work with us, why don't you come here?"

"It's... there's a situation she can't come to..."

"Can you really build an airship or something?

"How the hell are you going to make it? Don't you need a substitute, huge money and technology, like an airship?"

"At the end of the day, won't there be a contract in favor of the nobility that requires the cooperation of the nobility?

"At least it has to be as powerful as a 500 hierarchical magician..."

"I don't mean to insult you, but no matter how much Lord Lin, isn't it hard for them to reach the 500th floor on their own?

"... eh"

Lynn got stuck in words.

"Or Lord Lynn. So you can build an airship?

"It's..."

Lynn nods without being able to come up with the next word.

Karo watched Lynn being questioned in silence without attacking the ostensibly Lynn.

(Now Lord Lynn will know. That nobles will not come. that we have to fight)

A walk in the woods with Atrea.

Unfortunately, she didn't come on time.

Lynn walked around like she wasn't here as a blur despite being in a dangerous forest.

It wasn't until night that Atrea came to Lynn.

She apologized for being completely late.

Unfortunately, the encounter rate with the Warcraft was poor that day.

Because nothing happened, Lynn naturally had less mouth count.

Atrea felt quite badly that she had been late, and she spoke to Lynn with some concern.

But Lynn repeated her reply from "Yeah" or "Oh" no matter what she was asked about something to walk with her for a while.

"Oh, it's a flying fudge."

Flight Fuki in the woods was about to fly to New Heaven and Earth on an upward airflow with its large leaves hanging over it.

Tons of flying fuki fly out into the night sky.

"With all this upward airflow, I'm sure the airship will be able to make it."

"Yeah."

"What's going on? Though I haven't had much mouth count since just now. I knew you were mad about being late?

Asked as Atrea seemed anxious.

Lynn made it painful to see her expression like that, but decided never to say anything that was hard to say.

It was hard to say, but if I didn't say it sooner, I'd just be harder to say it.

"Atrea. I think this will be the last time I come here"

"Right. I'm going on a business trip. You won't be able to come for a while. The next exploration will follow…"

"No, that's not what I meant. We will never search the woods together again. Ever since you came back from your business trip, and long after that..."

"What? Why?

"Because there's no longer any point in going any further into the back of the woods."

"Oh no... why?

"I had a pathway consultation the other day. That's where the teacher made it clear. He said he wasn't talented. I'm pretty sure it's because I've always been a tower man and I used to be a high magician."

Atrea stared at Lynn with an inquisitive look.

Lynn went on to say the following out of sight of her.

"I should have known somehow. I just don't think anyone would have made it clear, and maybe they cared about me. But this time, I think we have to take reality."

……

"Mr. Illyweer's asking me out. I was wondering if I could join the Royal Knights. I've been obscuring your reply for a long time. It's time to be clear. If no matter how much Mr. Illyweer defers his response any further, I'm sure he'll be able to spot her too. So I have to stop exploring these woods with you."

"Oh no... what about the airship? Are you going to stop building it now?

"Yeah."

"Oh no... you've come to this tower to be a fine magician, haven't you? To be a 'inhabitant of the sky'"

"I was walking around the woods with you and I felt like I could go for it. I felt like I could go high above the tower and also be a high-ranking magician. But Dr. Radziya gave me some personal advice... and I couldn't say anything back. I knew clearly that I had no talent, and I didn't know it again. Why go for the top of the tower? I don't get it. Not even what you live for. I just live to live. It feels like that."

"Lynn, it's not just you. Everyone is wandering. Seeking the subject of my life. Everyone lives desperately looking for what they live for. Neither do I."

"You too?

"Yeah, that's right. So don't give up. If you go up there, you'll see something. Let's try harder."

Lynn looked at Atrea wonderfully.

"You don't get it. Why do you expect so much from me? As much as I'm a big deal, you've already noticed, haven't you?

"I'm just like you. There is no place anywhere in the world. There's only this tower."

"Just like me?

"That's right. I only have this tower. We just have to go to the top of the tower..."

"You... what the hell..."

The sounds of Wearwolf.

Atrea looked resentfully at the ringing.

As if you didn't want to hear the squeal yet.

"I have to go home today."

When Lynn says so, Atrea stares at Lynn's face like she was upset.

"Go. Master's loud, isn't he? I'm going back where I belong."

Atrea was the thought of being pulled behind the hair of something that crossed Cheelin's back.

I look back again and again feeling like I still have to be by Lynn's side.

"Lynn. Though I'm already leaving today. I'll be back here, won't I? There's no goodbye to this."

Lynn didn't answer that. She just leaned down.
