Trinitas Mundus

October 23rd, 1pm.

Ray, who had returned from under the Duke of Braveburn, had never done so, and had given a boo-boo thought in his room. He was worried about whether he should tell Stella about his secret.

(We're going on a journey together. Better not have anything to hide as much as possible. I figured I'd better tell Stella...)

And I thought we should talk to Hamish and Valeria, too.

(Mr. Hamish told me he would leave Ash to me. You can't keep your mouth shut about that person and that person's wife. But is this okay?

He understood that he was heretical. And he feared being rejected by Hamish and others, who were just mercenaries.

(But I guess it's okay. Corner, I could have had a good relationship, but I wonder if I could be spooked by the story of the human soul of an inexplicable different world...)

That's where Ashley's face came to mind.

(That's right! Let's talk to Ash. When I said Ash would be nice, I told Stella, and I caught Mr. Hamish and Mr. Valeria talking about me...)

Ashley never had anything to do with it, or he was waving his sword in the courtyard.

When he called out, he said, "What's up?" and approaching.

"I need to talk to you. I'm going to tell Stella about my secret, my soul from a different world, and Mr. Hamish and Mr. Valeria. But I couldn't tell if I could talk. What do you think of Ash?

She gives a slightly hoarse, then slightly lonely look and immediately answers his question.

"I was waiting to know when they were going to talk to me about it. Stella is fine. I don't care who you are."

And he answers with a laugh about telling Hamish and the others.

"Father and Sister Val... I guess it won't be a problem. I don't think you two care at all. Laugh and tell your story."

to that word. Ray looked like a ho,

"That's right. Okay. I'm gonna go talk to Stella now. I was wondering if you could come with me."

Ashley shook her neck to the side,

"You better talk to Stella alone. It would be easier for Stella to talk to you."

Ray wasn't sure why she thought that, but she looked at her serious expression and said, "Okay. I'll talk to Stella alone," he nodded.

He stayed put and headed to Stella's room. The remaining Ashley is:

(I thought one day these days would come, but you're lonely. Because his secret felt like a bond between the two of us... Stella should want to hear it from just the two of us. Because I would......)

Stella was also preparing to leave in her own room.

"I need to talk to you, okay?

When he says so, he nods small and invites him into the room.

"I've been silent before. My secret, it's about me... I know it's a little incredible, but it's a true story. I don't want you to say anything and I want you to hear it until the end."

She looks strange, but nods quickly.

"I'm not from this world. To be precise, my soul came from a place different from this world..."

Ray talks about what he came from a peaceful country called Japan in the world he calls Earth.

And he also talks about the fact that this world is the same as the world of the novel he wrote, that he can't remember the contents of the novel, etc.

When she finishes the conversation in about thirty minutes, Stella stares at him in silence.

And as if I was worried about how to ask.

"I didn't quite get the story, is Master Ray the God who made this world?

"Chi, no! I didn't just happen to make this world the same story I was writing."

"So one day will we return to that country called Nihon?

Confirm to him with an anxious ascension.

"I don't know how to answer that... I don't even know if I can go home, and in the first place, I like this one better. I'd love to know how to get home, but I'm not leaving right away."

In the words she exhales in relief and grins.

"Okay. Sometimes, tell us about your country."

"What? You don't think I'm weird? Disgusting, monsters..."

"Yes, Master Ray, because he is Master Ray. Instead, I finally figured out how I could do so much of anything"

Ray was horrified and remembered Ashley's saying, ”Stella won't change no matter what she hears”.

(Maybe Ash understands Stella better)

When I left Stella's room, I went back to Ashley's again and headed to Hamish's room.

Along the way, she's been hearing Stella's reaction.

"Ash was right. I didn't give a shit. But that's surprising. How did you know that?

"Right. Stella is like a comrade. You're a comrade who loves the same man. Maybe that's how you found out."

Ray was confused as to how to answer the words.

Ashley looked at him like that and said, "I'm going to get Sister Val. Go ahead," he said, going alone.

(Do you love the same man... is it worth it to me? But you couldn't have had such a problem when you were in Japan)

Hamish was alone, thinking about the future of the Marcut Mercenary Corps, where many veterans have died.

When Ray visited the room, he noticed his seriously looking face and said, "What's up?," he said.

Ray was worried about how to talk while waiting for Ashley to come.

"I need to speak to Mr. Hamish and Mr. Valeria. Now that Ash is on his way to get Mr. Valeria, I'll talk to you later."

Where Hamish tried to voice something, Ashley came with Valeria.

Valeria doesn't seem to know the circumstances either, with a puzzling look on her face.

"I want to talk to you two about my secret. I..."

He repeats the same story he told Stella.

Both Hamish and Valeria looked stunned many times, trying to question him many times, but seemed patient.

When the story ended in about thirty minutes, Hamish and Valeria were wondering what to hear from.

"That story is true, isn't it?

Ray nods loudly as he looks into his eyes when he asks Hamish to finally squeeze it out.

"Who else besides Ash knows about this?

"It's just you two and Stella" answers Valeria's question straight away.

"Your anomaly...... that's a bad way of saying it, sorry. I don't know what to say, but right, strength, wisdom, endangerment to that, balance of it, I know exactly why I'm a thigh-hugger. So why don't you tell us why you taught us that?"

Because Ray didn't expect to be questioned about the reason, "Is that a reason..." he shows slight confusion. And after a few seconds of thinking,

"Honestly, I didn't think of a reason. I just need to talk... about you two, I think you're family. So I didn't want to hide anything from my family, something so big, that's why."

"Family... right, we're family. Okay, I'll keep your secret. Perhaps you can't believe whoever you tell, but from me and Valeria, that story never leaks. Right, Valeria?

Valeria smiles and nods loudly.

"Is that okay? Even a guy who doesn't know why Ash's opponent is like this?

"There's nothing wrong with that, is there? No, is there something wrong?

Asked the other way around and crammed into answers.

"I can't think of anything like you. But I'm gonna have eyes for people. I like you. Valeria, and my people. If you're evil and you're cheating on us, it's bad for us that you can't spot us. First of all, you've never thought about using me."

"That's right. It's not normal for the captain to like you and not rise. Besides, the Duke and His Excellency the Knights liked me, but I may be a" freak ”trying to get out of this country, but I'm not a” bad guy ”. Then I don't care."

To Hamish and Valeria's answer he gets his eyeballs hot. to mislead it,

"Are you a freak... I'm aware of that, but please don't say it face to face"

"Oh, I'm aware of that. Ash, keep a good grip on the reins. You can't be a common sense guy either, but at least because you're more decent than you, Ray."

"It won't, Sister Val," Ashley laughs bitterly.

And they wanted to hear about Japanese life, and Ray went on to talk about a lot of things.

I'll call Stella, too, and we'll talk until evening.

And at the end of the day, Hamish talks with his hands on his shoulder.

"Those who are here are family. Ray, I don't care who you talk to next. But choose who you want to talk to carefully. Never talk until you think you can trust me as much as we do. Your knowledge is terribly worthwhile if it is heard by those who listen. You got it."

"Okay," Ray nodded loudly. And I was glad you were worried about yourself like my child.

5pm.

At the end of the conversation, trying to get back to the room, I notice that their farewell party is being prepared in the courtyard.

"Didn't you just do it yesterday," Ray shrugged, but Hamish and Valeria pushed him off and immediately took him to the banquet hall.

Unlike yesterday, the banquet was a celebration of their doorstep, and the dampness was devoid of fine dust.

In the meantime, Alberic appears and hands Hamish what is wrapped in cloth.

Hamish nodded, unpacking,

"From us, from the Red Arms."

On his hand appears a leather cylinder painted on a vermilion colour about 10 cm in diameter and 30 cm in length.

"Your armor is one item. I don't know why you bothered to paint it. Wrap this around Van Brace, the armor, and you'll have a fine" Red Arms ”. It's a testament to our people..."

Hamish hands it to Ray, Ashley and Stella, and the three wrap it around their arms.

Whether it was a special demonic skin, the surface appeared glossy and pearlescent and seemingly stiff for lightness.

"Even if I put it on double, it shouldn't get heavy. For once, it's a defensive utility. I'm going to make it our official gear from now on, but the first of these is you."

When Hamish said that, the mercenaries around him said, "It's a fine Red Arms!" 'Cause you're one of us! "and so forth.

Ray is also happy with their thoughts and speechless.

Even Stella, who usually rarely changed her expression, happily raised her arms and responded to cheers.

Ray bowed his head deeply to Hamish and the others,

"Thank you! This is where I come back, where we come back! I will definitely be back!

Ashley and Stella bow their heads in the same way to that word.

Stella had noticed tears in her eyes, but she understood what these tears meant.

(This is my buddy. This is the family... Lady Ray, Lady Ashley, Lady Hamish... I could be a ”family” with these people... This is what my previous husband hoped for... not a slave, but a "person"... I feel like I have just found out that I trust and trust people...)

Hamish stood in front of Ray and said, "Ray, I asked you to talk to me about Ash. Stella, ask for the two of you," then hug Ashley.

"Again and again, this is your house. Come back anytime. Don't worry about us. Have fun!

Has Ashley been impressed or all she can do is whine "Father..."

Valeria, who saw that,

"Mr. Hamish has us, Ray, so have fun with you... but as soon as we have kids, we'll bring them in. Hehe..."

Ashley turns red and speechless. Ray was embarrassed, too.

"Mr. Hamish, Mr. Valeria, please make Ash's brother or sister soon"

To his retrograde assault the two lose their words.

The mercenaries around them say, "Yes, yes!" and stood up.

The two blushes, illuminated, but Hamish shouts out to the four single captains.

"The bachelors get married fast! Gareth! Zenga! Lazareth! Elias! You guys are good old, too. Come on, harden up!

The Gareth were speechless because they didn't think they were going to come down on themselves.

In the meantime, Lazareth,

"I don't want the captain of the regiment who left Valeria alone for over a decade to tell me! If so, please introduce me!

"Well said! All right, whoever's after these guys, I'll forgive him! Hit the bedside and make a fait accompli!

The eyes of some female mercenaries shine in his words.

Originally, there were many things in favor of Gareth and the others, but he knew he was reluctant to be captain of the regiment, so he refrained from doing so.

The banquet then lasted until late at night.

Ray thought he could get drunk, but he couldn't stop drinking.

As he himself expected, he is crushed by the mercenaries and transported to Ashley and Stella.

Ashley was thinking back a few months as she lent him her shoulders.

(If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have been able to break this far with your father. Even the members of the Mercenary Corps of Markat would have remained merely called ”ladies”. really thanks to you)

And turn your thoughts around about the journey ahead.

(From now on, I don't know where or what to do. But if it can be with you, it can be anywhere, whatever you're doing. So... so I want to be with you. That's why I protect you. I'll try to protect it)

She was drunk, looking at Ray with a loose face, renewing her determination.

Stella was similarly lending him a shoulder, remembering since she met the two of them.

(If I hadn't met these people, what would have happened to me? In the city of Cloik, I might have served someone. But I don't think so many things have happened. And what you need so much. Will Master Ray ever need me again? I don't want to leave you two. But if you two no longer need me, if I get in your way... then...)

Still unsure of her place, she was slightly clouding her expression as she looked at Ashley's face, who looked after her happily.

October 24th.

Just like yesterday morning, Ray woke up, haunted by a terrible hangover.

(After all, did this happen... disgusting...)

Lie down, hang the magic of detoxification, and think about the rest of this.

(You've been here five months, right? I don't know when I'll be back next. Guess I'll miss you......)

Laying back relaxed, Ashley and Stella visit.

"What do you say, how do you feel? Every time, it looks spicy."

Instead of hangovers, Ashley doesn't even make him feel sleepless labors him.

(As always... let's not think about the strength of Ash's liquor... but I'm so proud of you)

And then Stella says, "They're going to work for the hangover," and offers a vessel with a drink.

He says "thank you" to both of us, drinks that drink all at once, and talks about what's to come.

"Should I head for Periclitle, taking requests like I did before?

"No, I have something to do with phototheism. At least you'd better travel to the border city, to Hastiglow, without a request. From here, it's about 200 km to Husty Grow. If we're alone, we can be there in five days."

"Right... Roger that, let's do that"

And he remembers that there is,

"Speaking of which, the magician was finally at level forty. That was a long time."

"Well, I had a swordsman level of forty-four. How's Stella?

"I was up to forty-five too"

Ray drops his shoulder disappointed when he hears that.

"Corner, I thought I could catch up a little..."

"You're more of a magician. All right, we'll start our morning and evening special training today. Stick with Stella, too!

Stella said happily, "Yes!," he answers, smiling at Ray.

"Again, the three of you. I will always be."

"Right. Well, it's a little easier, and I'm gonna have breakfast."

"Wait! Special training first. I told you I'd start today.

Ray looks sorry for Ashley's words and groans, "Oh no..."

Stella pulls my hand and takes me to the courtyard.

Hamish and Valeria laughed and watched.

"Really, my kids are fine"

Hamish is also emotionally,

"Right. With that energy, he'll be back safe and sound. Also, I guess he'll grow up and come back"

Valeria will have the usual pranky look,

"It's about that kid, so I'm sure you'll do something first thing you're going to do, right? But if you really had kids, what would you do?

Does Hamish not get a sense of reality, it makes him look a little troubled, like he gave up something.

"You're Ash's kid... you're my grandson. Well, you mean I'm that old, too."

Valeria takes Hamish's arm and turns to herself.

"Oh, I won't let you say that. Now I'm going to make Ash's brother and (...) sister!

"Yeah? My brother and (...) my sister? You're gonna make them both?

"No, if it's more than two (...), as many as you want. It's your child."

The two laughed and walked inside their house, mercenary regiment headquarters.
