"Franceal helped me..."
"Oh, he regretted summoning Sota to the end. You said the country you lived in was a peaceful country with no demons, right? It is only natural that this world is in danger of demons, and more importantly, you have been summoned as a brave man and driven to battle the Demon King. She was heartbroken about it."
Reginald speaks for her thoughts.
"You were thinking about that... I never resented being summoned to this world, if you would tell me..."
"I guess that's the place Franceal is"
"Oh... right, that was him"
The two were nodding remembering her personality.
"So, how did Sota get here? It's been a long time since I died, hasn't it?
Reginald asked why he had come so far because he knew that a huge amount of time had flown.
"I've come this far to find out the secrets that Grevin was investigating, and apparently the dragon tribe's two previous chiefs were exploring some sort of secret with Grevin."
"Hmm, so you came between the treasures? Glad you found me, I could see you growing up. They sent me back, my memories were eating bugs, things were hard, but you've grown up pretty straight."
Reginald strokes Ethereal's head again with a grieving look.
"What!? What are you talking about?
Aotearoa asked him out loud, noticing the change in Reginald.
"I'm sorry, it's time. Part of the life energy that resides in the treasure ball is me now, but this is how talking to you is slowly losing that energy. If it was meant to be, we'd just get information in a way that's close to Q&A. It's a different way to touch and talk."
His appearance gradually clears up as he talks.
"Hey, what the fuck! Hey! But listen to me more!
Aotearoa speaks to Reginald with a soothing voice, but he doesn't stop disappearing.
"Sota, don't look like that. I'm the one who doesn't exist anymore, so you have company now, don't you?
Aeta nods in tears at the question.
"Then don't stay in a place like this forever. Go back to them. You must be worried."
Already the appearance of Reginald was to a lesser extent visible.
"You're already a fine, one-man..."
"Reginald!!
As his figure had completely disappeared, Ethereal's consciousness had returned to the original world.
"Mr. Sorta! Are you all right, sir? Oh, tears..."
When Deena checks to see if anything has changed, she realizes that tears are spilling out of Ethereal's eyes.
"No, I'm fine. I haven't seen a nostalgic face in a long time."
Aotea wiped her tears and looked back at everyone.
"More than that, we need to find the desired chief's jewel."
"I found it. It's old, so it's lined up from the back, so I just had to look for the far end."
Leila just tells me to compliment you, but she has a proud look on her face.
"Oh, well found. Can you show me around?
It was Leila who thought she might not even be able to put it on her teeth, but she accidentally blushed her cheeks because Ethereum said so with a soft grin.
"This way, this way!
Leila, who leads the way, was early enough not to be seen in the face.
"Is this the treasure of the chiefs of previous generations..."
Aotea touched Reginald's treasure ball earlier at her sole discretion and confirmed everyone's faces by remembering that she had been worried. Everyone nods back when they leave it to Aotearoa.
"Well, let's go."
When Aotearoa touched the treasure ball, it emitted light, but he did not see as much brilliance as Reginald had seen earlier. Aotearoa was not as windy as she stood earlier, but as she closed her eyes and spoke to the treasure ball.
Then after a few tens of minutes in time, Ethereum opened her eyes.
"It's over..."
Aeta shrugged as she took her hand off the treasure ball.
"How was it? Did you find out anything?
Now Deena asks the question because there was no major change in Ethereum.
"A few things, I can't tell you what's at stake"
Aotearoa's expression was a difficult face, like in the middle of something.
"What is it, Lord Sota? Didn't you hear Gregor interact with that chief?
Aeta also shook her neck beside Atra's inquiry.
"You didn't get the point of interacting or what you said."
Because the fruits of the interaction with the chief were not fragrant, Ethereal's answer is also obscure.
"Let me ask you in turn, what questions you asked and what answers you got"
To make it easier for Deena to understand the story, I suggest that it be sequential.
"Okay. Why don't we just sit back and talk?"
Aotearoa prepared tripod chairs for Aotearoa, Deena and Leila from the bag.
"First I asked the chief, or the sealed treasure of his memory. What the hell were you looking into with the dwarf chief? And the answer was that I looked into everything."
Together, the answer gives a troubled look. Aeta, who sees that reaction, nods and continues to talk about it as expected.
"You know what Gain means when he says you don't know what you want to hear unless it's clear. But that's where I turned my questions into empires."
Then Aeta thought so but still had difficulty getting useful information.
"Looks like we were looking into a lot of things about the Empire, which was difficult to determine"
Together, I drop my shoulders on Aotearoa's words.
"I heard it from one end because I had no choice... I figured out not what the two of us were looking into, but the characteristics of the empire and what kind of rulers there are around him. That kind of information."
"Then you don't know what the enemy is... like where the person who targeted the dwarf village is"
Show shade in your expression because Deena also expected it.
