When Aotearoa and the others reached the workshop, they entered to thank the Dors.
Upon returning to her usual living room, Arezel breathed heavily and strained to the couch.
"Ha ha, finally home ah"
He was nervous in the carriage home, and it seemed like he was finally getting comfortable.
"Mr. Sota, have some fruit."
Across the street from Arezelle, Laurie, who had already prepared a plate, was sitting waiting now or now for the fruit she had received at the castle.
"Ah, ah."
Even as he marvels at Laurie, who is ready in an instant, Ethereum takes the fruit out of the bag.
"Yay, thanks Sota!
Laurie skinned it well with another fruit knife that she had already prepared, cutting it and arranging it on a plate.
"That's a pretty brilliant knife judgment. I don't think I'm a good cook..."
"I'm a good knife, only knives (...) are. As soon as it's seasoned, somehow it's devastating."
Naruas told the truth to Ethereum, who is impressed.
"Uh, adding extra stuff."
"Right... no matter how much I tell you, I'll add something that's not in the recipe at some point"
Even while Aotearoa and Naruas were discussing their culinary skills, they were decorating the fruit one after the other.
Aotea was thinking about talking about the future, so she takes her seat while waiting for the serving to finish for now.
Deena and Naruas look like that, too, and sit down.
"In the meantime, shall we talk about today and what's to come when Laurie's work is done"
The two of them nodded at the suggestion and often decided to keep an eye on Laurie's moves.
"Now, put the beak on at the end...... OK, done!
A stunning bird was represented there.
Aotearoa, Dina and Naruas, as well as Arezel, who should have been exhausted, watched over its performance and just looked at it pompously without uttering a word.
"Hmm? What's wrong with you guys... I'm scared of you"
The person at the time was carrying a piece of fruit imitating bird feathers to the interview without knowing what he was surprised by.
"" "" Ahhh!!!
All four of them shouted out loud.
"Hey, what!? What's wrong??
Suddenly, and Laurie is surprised that the four of them all shouted out loud, looking at the four faces in turn.
"Ha... no, that's okay. I'm sorry I shouted."
Naruas, as I gave up.
"Right, never mind. I have no choice."
To comfort Ethereum.
"When do shapes only perish..."
There's Deena somewhere far away.
"When this happens, let's all eat. It's delicious!
Allezel reacted positively.
"Um, I don't know... well. We're all good together."
And everyone reached for it, skinning Laurie's words.
Cut, they were first-class fruits and their flavors were certain, so one bird was quickly being eaten.
"It was delicious"
"Sure, it's hard to get when it's all that stuff"
Deena and Aotea were off to eat, Laurie was cleaning up, and Naruas was taking the sleeping allezel to bed.
The two during the meal break also gave their names to cleaning up and carrying Arezel, but they had refused to let themselves do it faster knowing they were on their own.
Sweet for your words, the two of them were taking a break, but the bulk of them accounted for how they would proceed on their journey in the future.
After a while, Laurie and Naruas, who had finished cleaning up, returned and took their seats.
"Did Arezel sleep?
"Yeah, he seemed a lot tired. It was neat without waking up when I carried it to bed."
Naruas was smiling as he remembered his sleeping face.
"Well, I'd like to talk about our upcoming move. I want you both to take care of things."
"I don't think you've done much, but I'm glad you said so."
"Mr. Laurie saved everyone's pinch."
That's what Naruas likes about her chest stretching.
"You, remember the word humility!
Said Laurie had a perky tongue.
"Can we get back to this?
"Su, excuse me"
Naruas bows his head to Ethereum, who visits him with a slightly troubled look.
"Me and Deena are going back to Toula, the city of adventurers where I'm based, and then we're going on a journey."
"Are you on a journey?
Aotearoa and Deena nod.
"We both question the battle against the Demon King a thousand years ago. Why was I sent back? Heritage tells me that I sent him back to stop it because I went crazy and killed other brave men, but I'm talking about Deena, and Sordia's been stabbed after I was sent back. This leads to a chronologically different part from the inheritance."
Aotearoa did, didn't she? And when I saw Deena, she was right, she snorted.
"Mine, in addition to that mystery, has caught the possibility that someone else was there at that time. It's obscure because it's my brother's memory in a stabbed state, but I still felt signs. Your brother's sign detection skills must have been quite high."
Now Ethereum snorts at the words.
"So we're going to visit other races of countries to gather information to solve that mystery. The Elves may have some information in other countries, as Dina did."
"Really? If you find anything out about me, I'll send a letter to Karena's. I don't know if I can help."
"Thanks, that helps"
"Well, I guess Mr. Laurie should join the sortas to get to Toula"
It was a mystery why I had come to such a conclusion after listening to previous stories, but that's what she said.
"Someone named you... why does that happen? By and large, you're one of the few alchemists in this country, so there's no way you're allowed to leave the country like that, is there?
Laurie answers the question with a good face.
"Hmm, that's why I'm with the sortas. With that dagger, you can go through it on a free pass, and even if I were with you, you shouldn't be able to pursue it strongly!
When I finished saying it, I made a piece sign.
"... that's surprising. I can't imagine it from what I usually say and do. If there's a problem, I don't know if I'm gonna wipe my neck vertically."
Laurie gets a serious look at what Aotearoa said with a bad grin and trying Laurie.
"I read Elmia's letter and thought it was time we lived together. But once I ran out of this country, it's hard for me to get out of this country. It's hard for Elmia to come over here alone, and more importantly, I don't think she's leaving Mother Karena behind. Karena, my mother wouldn't want to come over here for the same reason I did... so please. Take me to Toula with the Sortas!
With that said, she bowed her head deeply.
He was exposed in his chest, quiet, but Aotearoa did not open his mouth and waited for Naruas' words. I don't know how much damage it would have done to this workshop to be without my apprentice, Laurie, but I could have expected that being alone would have been a huge burden.
And I can understand Laurie's mood. It was only because of those two things that Aotearoa decided to wait for Naruas to speak.
"I can't believe you were thinking that... I had no idea. I'm gonna miss you here, and I'm sure Arezel's gonna cry."
"I'll tell Arezel."
Naruas nodded with a lonely smile.
"Right, do that for him. Because she missed you a lot."
Naruas bows his head as he redirects to Aotearoa.
"I'm an apprentice of Wonder, could you please allow me to accompany you? Please."
Laurie also bowed her head again, following Naruas.
"... ok. I wasn't willing to say no even if I wasn't there originally. I just tried to see if you had a strong reason or if you were saying it in play. Sorry about that."
Laurie, who put her face to the word, was a full grin.
"Good, thanks. Thank you, Sota, and thank you, Deana."
Deena, who had left the decision to Aotearoa, also smiled, taking Laurie's hand offered and shaking her hand.
