Episode 185: Butterfly Cradle ⑤

"Linoa!"

Yongtai rushes over to Linoa and forcefully turns to herself.

And I grabbed both shoulders and rocked them many times.

Linoa, it's okay. - Swallow that word, Yongta will face Linoa again.

"Linoa......"

"" Eh. ""

But even to Yongtai's sad voice, Linoa's reply has not returned.

Just like hope, he just has a confused look on his face.

"Hey, as usual, I want you to laugh"

"Laugh?"

"Are you laughing?

To Yongtai's appeal, his hopes bewildered but questioned him.

Linoa also strangely repeats the same behavior.

"We want to see Linoa smile."

"Linoa's smile......"

"My smile......"

The answer Linoa told was the worst substitute Yongtai could have imagined.

Even though it was Linoa in front of me, I was struck by the feeling as if I was confronting someone I didn't know how to handle.

The same look of Linoa as the hope proves it helplessly.

Still, I'm talking to Linoa.

I could feel Linoa on my side.

"Linoa, the..."

Yongta shook her neck sideways to shake off her worries after opening her mouth like that in loneliness.

"... no, you don't have to laugh. I'm your childhood friend Yoshida Kashihara. And Linoa, it's Kurumi Linoa. That's all, remember?"

"Yongta-kun."

To Yongtai's determination, Hope and Linoa respond with hesitation.

"This time, I'll definitely try to get Linoa back!

When Yongtai looked at the great sword he was carrying, he faced Arita again.

What Yongtai should confront now is the Dungeon Investigation Quest in front of him.

And the belief that you protect your precious childhood friends before your evil faith in the wise ones.

"I want to continue this quest!

"Yes, I think that's all the important quest that 'Legion' and 'Carla' have been in contact with"

Planet smiles and blesses as he responds to Yongtai's offer tied in a conclusive manner.

"Look, Song Liang, Planet, my sister. Continue this quest. Or look for another quest."

"Brother, I've decided that!

The sound of the flowers said with a nostalgic grin to the unquestionable twinkle.

"It's not like us to choose anything other than this quest."

"Right."

"Right."

To the answers to the flower sounds that were predictable, Hope and Linoa leak an exclamation exhale out of the grin gap.

"To save Linoa, we have to take this quest first."

"To save me, I have to take this quest first."

"Yeah."

To the proclamation of hope and Linoa's determination, the floral noise deliberately made me laugh.

Arida's guild Casket.

Hope felt that the awareness of being with someone, even if they were caught up, would inspire the untiring certainty that they would never lose.

Against the backdrop of the exuberant hopes, the unacceptable Yashiro answers without hesitation.

"I don't mind any other quest. Also, I want you to spare me the ambush of Legion and Carla."

"No more good music! Find a way to undo Linoa for Aipear!

"… Flowers. Why are you giving me the name of Aipear there?

Sora distorted her face uncomfortably to say something that would confirm somewhere in the flower noise.

"Oh, my God, Song Liang. If you can't win, you're giving up? Indeed, in this battle of" Shangri-La's Belly Cave, "it seemed that Toru was active."

"... active"

When told with a strange face, Yashiro stiffens his face as if he had been stuck by surprise.

As soon as that happened, disturbing air flowed through the guild.

"How long are you gonna be here?

"Until we finish discussing the dungeon's investigation quest!

When Yashiro turns his blame glance, Toru makes a clear difference.

"In the future, there will be no turn for you. I'll protect my pears. Just cover me in the back."

"... you always have a lot to say"

To Yashiro's mention, Toru pointed his lips resentfully.
