... live free!

Then when I finished dismantling the goblin, Youre came to me.

"Lena, this way, it's over. Yes."

That's what you said, and you gave me the demon stone for what Youre dismantled.

"You can have Yua, okay?

With that said, Youre came to say no, waving his hand and face aside.

"Fine. Because that's what I did to help Lena..."

Uh-huh. Is there anything I can do for you? And I remembered that if I had thought about that, I would have.

"Then the protective equipment I bought last time I got it as a thank you for helping me. Let it be."

"Huh?"

"If something like this happens again, it's dangerous, so I'm going to say it. Okay?"

"Ugh, yeah."

and may feel pushed by my momentum, but I nodded, so let's just make that a good thing.

"If that's what you're saying, I'll take it, okay?

That's what I say. I receive the Demon Stone from Youre.

"Shall we go back to the city then?

"Yeah. But maybe we should get some dirt off before then..."

"... right. Maybe it's better after you get rid of the dirt nearby. Then why don't we go to the river and get back to the city?

"Right."

"Eh. Sure, this way."

That's what I say. Grab Yua's hand.

"Huh?"

"Then we're going, right?

I say and walk away with Yua's hand in hand.

Then after a while I see the river.

"I really got to the river"

And, Yua, I was surprised, but I started getting dirty the same way Yua started getting dirty when she went into the river and started getting dirty.

"All right, are we done?

When I said that, Yua looked at me. And I'm staring at them. Is there something on it?

"... what's wrong?

"! Eh, well, there's still blood on my face..."

"Really?

I say and start washing my face with water but the water is very cold. Anyway, we have to endure it! I washed my face with water with patience.

"Did you fall?

"Ugh, yeah. Your face, it fell off, but it's still on your hair, right?

"If it's about hair, can we go back to the city?

I can't wash them all with water just because they don't look like boulders. I don't know where it's attached, so can I come back to the inn? If I thought so, Yua has said this.

"Then I'll wash the dirt on it."

"You don't have to do that."

"I'm fine, because I washed my little ones' hair and stuff well. Plus, it'll be over soon enough to get some dirt off."

Yua said and removed the dirt from my hair.

Then Yua, I didn't know if she politely dropped it or if it was a lot of dirt, but it took a lot of time.

"Oh, my God."

and Yua's signal finally ended.

"Thanks"

"Duh, you're welcome"

And Yua thought to Yua because she was trying to lighten up a little but time was running out, maybe bad, but she wanted to head to the city.

"... I think it's time to go to the city, but it seems okay to leave now?

When I heard that, Yua nodded, so I started walking towards the city.
