When I returned to the Demon Continent, I decided to leave the village near the Royal Castle in the east. Simply because it is close to the demon continent, the burden is reduced when Licht moves. Another reason is... "
"Annie-chan!"
Meg-chan!
After all, there was someone I wanted to see before I left. That's her, Annie!
Who was that? When I stopped by before, Richt and Ronnie tilted their necks, but I still remember.
Annie is the daughter of a village inn that used to stop by when she was fleeing from the Imperial Castle in the east. Look, because I stand out too much, I'm the girl who lowered the clothes that look like ordinary village daughters!
Annie had a really small amount of time, but I remember it well. Even the clothes at that time were important.
Well, it's been remodeled to improve its performance. It still looks like it did then, but it has changed to a piece with automatic cleaning that can be worn semi-permanently.
"Oh no, Meg-chan. I'm already an aunt, so I'm going to shine like Annie."
"I'll always be Annie inside me." It's good to see you. I wasn't there when I stopped by before. "
"Yes, I've been looking forward to hearing your message." But you're growing really slowly. I can feel again that the races are different.
Since about forty years have passed since then, Annie has already grown into an innkeeper. I can feel the passage of time.
Whoa, don't forget! I took out the magically modified dress from the storage magic tool.
Do you remember this?
"Well! That low-down piece I gave you that time!" Oh, I miss it.... but was it so beautiful? "
When she offered the dress, Annie took a very happy hand and tilted her neck.
Ah, that's because when the design was modified, the painful part was repaired as it was. Ehehe.
I wanted you to take this because I had given it away. Therefore, when I returned, I was asked to stop by this village.
When I told Annie about the magic modifications, her eyes were curled up in surprise. Thanks for the fresh response!
"Can you also accept the thank you from that time?" It can be worn semi-permanent, so it can be passed down from generation to generation. "
"Can I get you something so nice?" I'm sorry that I just put up clothes I can't wear because I'm so worn out... "
Still, it was a fact that I was definitely saved at that time. Memories are treasures of anything.
"When I came to this inn again, I would be happy if I had this."
"... I see. Then I'll take care of it all the time." I promise I'll keep telling you about Meg. "
While saying that, Annie saw her daughter working in the store. Then, I want to love my husband who works in the back.
You're a close family member, aren't you?
"Huh!?... oh, yeah. Yeah, it's a very important family. I think it's the first feeling I've ever had with my husband and children. Doesn't Meg have a partner like that?"
"Huh!? No, I'm not yet an adult...!"
When you answered unexpected questions in a hurry, you weren't an adult yet!? and surprised me. At the same time, it certainly feels complicated to be convinced that you are still a child...
"So, who do you like?" There's so many of them, right? "
Eek
Why is it that the conversation goes to you? My response to Annie, who secretly talks to me, is drowsy.
I don't know if there's anybody like that. He's a confused one.
"The people we're traveling with... um, they're not. Maybe."
Eh, do you understand?
"Well, I've been in love, too."
Even so, I think it is great to be able to make a judgment just by looking at it. Staring at her with a respectful gaze, Annie continued to repeat her words.
"Maybe, but isn't there someone you like where you're going?" What do you say? Hit? "
"Eh!? No, no, no, no! There's no one else I like!?"
For some reason, I was extremely embarrassed by what I was told while winking, and I completely denied it. Annie laughs as she says that I'm unconscious. Hmm, what is unconsciousness!
"Meg-chan, you don't have to be so annoying." It's strangely embarrassing to fall in love. In fact, it's a very nice thing to do. "
"Nice thing...?"
Repeatedly, Annie nodded with a smile. At that age, you're embarrassed and want to deny your feelings.
"I-I see..." No, I didn't deny anything.
"Someday, we'll have to face it." You don't have to be scared. Maybe being honest is the easiest thing to do. "
Honestly?
"Yes. To be honest, even that can be an unnoticed period." Ah, I miss that time of year. "
Annie narrowed her eyes like she was nostalgic for putting her hands on her cheeks. The more you ask, the harder it is to fall in love. Around the age of puberty. The more I think about it, the less I can get out.
"No matter what, Meg-chan is best kept happy!" I've been praying for a long time. "
"Annie-chan... yes! Thank you!"
The last time we shook hands firmly, it was time to say goodbye. We may or may not see each other again.
Believe that this connected edge will continue somewhere.
Are you ready to rush under Licht and the others? and nods firmly.
Well then, let's go home. Meg, magic power again!
"That's why I took my magic medicine yesterday, so it's perfect!" But as expected, I'm tired of using my magic power on this continent for a year. "
"I see. I'll try to recover a little magic power when I get back..."
That said, I've become quite accustomed to using sorcery on this continent. By the time I got used to it, I was going back to the demon continent.
It was a bit of a waste, but the next time I came to this continent, I could manipulate my magic power even faster and more efficiently. You're growing up!
"These two people who have been using magic for a year as a matter of course are strange after all." I don't want to use it too much and I'm worried my arm is not fading... "
"I think so, too." When you get back, you'll be trained. "
Meanwhile, Asuka and Ronnie sighed deeply. This is normal, isn't it? I can only smile bitterly when I am seen with my eyes and my Zito.
I'm sorry, but the magic power is obakue. That's why I've been struggling so much, so let it go!
"The destination is Demon King Castle." It's easier for me to imagine that way. I don't know, there's Kuron! "
"Yes, yes, you can go anywhere, so please don't fall in love with me."
"That's nice, Asuka! Haven't seen you for a year? You've put up with me, right?"
It must have been hard not to see your loved one forever. It looks like we've been communicating with communication props several times, but it's quite different from just hearing voices. I think you've put up with it, Licht.
I'd like to see my father and all of Ortus soon. But I don't feel like I haven't seen you for as long as I did in the old case. Even though this expedition was longer, it was strange.
After all, I wonder if there is a difference in feelings. It feels longer when you're anxious and you can't see the tip.
... I wonder how Gil's doing. I'm fine, though. But I haven't seen you for a long time. Unlike Licht, I haven't even contacted her, and I haven't heard anything from her father.
Me, too. Where's Mr. Gill? "I didn't ask, and that's natural..."
Ah, I'm starting to worry about reuniting somehow. It's been over a year since that awkward farewell, and it's weird to apologize for that time now. But I still want to say it. You wanted me to come and see you, or you missed me.
All right, all right. I'll tell you. When you get back to Ortus, you'll be the first to go to Mr. Gill!
"Okay, Meg, anytime!"
"All right, are you guys ready?"
When Richt signaled and I called out, I saw Ronnie and Asuka nodding happily. After all, I want to enjoy going home with these two.
In that case, I had to concentrate and shed my magic power so that I could return safely. Slowly, without rushing, politely.
I felt that the magic power spread to the magic circle more smoothly than when I went there. I'm glad to know I'm growing. Hmm.
The light enveloped us and the magic circle began to activate.
See you again, human continent.
And now! The Demon Continent!
I learned the unique sense of flotation of the metastasis, and after a few seconds, the light subsided and my feet reached the ground. At the same time, I felt that my body was getting lighter, and ah, I bit it like it was wonderful that it had magic.
"... it's too sudden."
And there was Kuron-san in front of me. Eh, why!?
Well, if you look closely, this is the courtyard of the Demon King's Castle! I made Kuron-san my destination in Richt!?
"Ah, Kuron!!"
"Hey, Licht! I'm so glad you guys are watching!"
And Richt clutches Kuron-san first. It's already gyuuuuu.
... well, I understand how you're feeling, but Kuron-san's face is extremely red and he's patting Bashibashi on the back. It's cute, but I feel a little sorry for it.
"Ahhh. Never mind, Klon. Richt has been patient. Take it to your heart's content."
Hmm. We're going to the Demon King first.
Oh, and Asuka puts her hand on her waist, and Ronnie calmly tells her the rest of the move.
You must have heard a lot of love stories during the trip. You used to spend a lot of time in the same room, man. He must have been tired of hearing more than I am.
"So take your time! All right, I'll show you around!"
"Hey, even Meg-sama!" Licht, please step aside a little bit. "
"No, it's not enough. I won't let go."
"Rich! Rich!"
We were going into the castle so that we would never look back, while feeling a sign of confusion behind us.
Kuron-san must have missed you too. I'll leave you two alone for a while!
