The town of Ur, three days after Hajime and the others left.

There are many headache problems, such as the maintenance of a rough earth and the handling of a frightening number of demonic corpses, but still the result of what can only be described as a miracle for what has happened: the town and the people are intact. The good news was conveyed to the immediately evacuated inhabitants, the surrounding towns and the Wang capital, the returning inhabitants embraced each other with their reunited family, lovers and friends, and rejoicing in each other's safety, the town of Ur was still surrounded by festival-like hustle and bustle.

Around the town remained the fence that Hajime had left behind, and those who saw the whole end of the battle, waving their hands at how it was a battle beyond common sense, told and listened to as they gazed from the fence to the rough earth. The evacuees, especially the children, are sparkling at their stories like that. The unrelenting merchants had already put in a calculation to make a fortune on Hajime's fence as a new specialty in the town of Ur.

And because the people of the city did not know that it was between Hajime and Aiko, they still believed that Hajime and the others were the messengers sent by the Goddess of Toyoshi, and called them "shields of the goddess" on the walls of Hajime.

He also called the boy with the gray hair eyelid Hajime the "sword of the goddess" or "knight of the goddess", and respected him as well. I heard that, David and the real escort knights, remembering Hajime and Aiko's mouth. "I knew he wouldn't like it!!" And the wildness is another story. Later, hearing my two names makes Hajime bored is another story.

Although there was a slight miscalculation of two embarrassing names for himself, as Hajime thought, Aiko's fame and popularity were eel climbing. If you walk through town, you get so much concentrated fire that all human gaze is gathered, and some of them even start worshipping "thank you". Aiko, who did save people in a visible way in this town, was rightly the "goddess". The rumor has already begun to spread to the surrounding area. At least there is no doubt that in the town of Ur the word of Aiko already weighs more than that of the bishop of the Episcopal Church.

As for Aiko, it seemed clear to those close to her that she was not here because she could easily deal with the heavy towns while supporting the reconstruction of the town. The cause, it goes without saying. There are numerous shock facts told by Hajime before the battle, but above all, the fact that Hajime killed Shimizu is the sight of the moment that is not leaving the back of Aiko's brain to erode her mind.

Even that day, after a day of service, it was dinner time, and I was eating with the students and the knights of the escort at the "Water Fairy Inn," but Aiko just replied with no concern for the content of the conversation, even as she mechanically carried the food to her mouth.

"Dr. Ai... After all, Dr. Ai's magic is amazing! The earth that was so rough is getting more and more purified... it's going to be back to normal in another week!

"... right... good"

Yuka Park speaks in a brighter way even as she realizes Aiko's mind is not here. I want to encourage Aiko to understand the causes of her modulation. But even to words that contain the brightness of the park, Aiko only returns a reply that she doesn't feel as if she put the stereotype as it were. Park drops his shoulder, "Not yet, no."

"Aiko...... did the mayor or bishop still say anything today? Tell me if you're really in trouble. For example, I will not tolerate imitations in which the bishop puts Aiko in trouble even with his opponents. I'm the knight of (...) Aiko. Anytime, I'm on Aiko's side."

"... right... good"

David gives Aiko a word she's not sure if she wants to encourage or dictate. The statement that he is a temple knight but pokes at the bishop is quite dangerous, but I guess it has nothing to do with David, who has already accomplished with the warrior of love. The "I" part highlights who it is against... while agreeing with David because the knights around him are also guessing, sending a sharp gaze of restraint to their captain, who is trying to slip through subtly.

But such David's insignificant appeal was lightly flushed with the same words as the gavel of a certain lunch longevity show. It's a suspicious place you might have heard. The students give David the look of "zaaaa" as he drops his shoulders. Some knights have the same look.

Aiko continued to eat pale with no particular reaction, not even noticing such exchanges between the students and the knights.

(... if I could have talked to you more properly Shimizu... if I had noticed that child's thoughts sooner... then this wouldn't have happened... and if I hadn't asked him, the same student, to do that... then I'd have to be a hostage... if I was dead... how could he have killed Shimizu too... because he's the same classmate... because he's an enemy?... That's all that's so light?... is it that simple to kill people?... is it that easy to do?... that's weird... people aren't demons... without such hesitation... he's... a person who can easily kill people?... the other kids too if you leave him alone... is he dangerous?... You wouldn't have died without him, Shimizu?... are the other kids safe without him?... if only he hadn't... ugh!? I'm what!... No, you can't think any more!

In the heart of Aiko now, she was in a state of prolonged repetition of regret and self-reproach... and repeatedly that if she did poorly, fear and resentment for Hajime was going to sprout, hurrying it off and returning to her first thought. Too much to think about and too much not to think about, Aiko's mind was in a state of scattered guchug with information that wasn't organized like a library with a collapsed bookshelf.

At that time, a calm, warm voice echoing my heart reaches Aiko.

"Dear Aiko. Didn't the dish of the day suit your mouth?

"Huh?

"This is Foss Sero, owner of the Water Fairy Inn. His voice is never loud, but rather as small. But no one in this inn misses the word of Foss. His deep, calm voice always reaches the target. Even now, I delivered a light word to my beloved son, whose heart was still imprisoned by the vortex of thought, and brought his consciousness back to reality.

Noticing a strange voice, Aiko turns her gaze to Foss, who smiles gently as she dyes her cheeks a little.

"Uh, what is it? Excuse me, I'm a little bit of a beau."

"No, never mind. He had a face that didn't float, so I was wondering if the food didn't suit your mouth. I'll give you something else if you don't mind..."

"Yes, no! The food is delicious. I was just thinking..."

Saying it's very tasty, Aiko, I can't remember the flavor of the food I ate. Looking around, the students and knights are looking at themselves somewhere worrying. I realised that I was quite in the crucible of thought, and I regained my mind that I should not do this, and resumed my meal, but I was in a bit of a panic, so I went into the trachea and flourished.

Students and knights wrinkle their loved ones with tears. Foss subtly prepares napkins and water while keeping that in sight.

"Shh, excuse me. Sorry for the inconvenience..."

"annoying, etc., absurdly"

Aiko doesn't break her gentle smile when she sees Aiko's faults, even though she feels safe. To such a loving child, Foss showed a bare gesture of thinking a little when she narrowed her eyes, and still spoke with a quiet calm voice.

"Hmm. Dear Aiko. Can I ask you one thing while you cross the border?

"Huh? Yeah, yes. What is it?

"Why don't you believe what Aiko wants to believe?

"To?"

Aiko leans her neck with a "?" in her head at Foss's uncontested words. Plus, "It was speechless," Foss continues his conversation with a bitter laugh.

"Apparently, Aiko's heart looks like she's in a lot of confusion right now. Too many things to think about and not want to think about, I don't know what to do. I don't know what's best or what I want to do, either. It's just something I don't know, and if I don't do something about it, all I'm in a hurry, and that's another vicious circle of applause for confusion. Different?

"Duh, why..."

Aiko, who is accidentally stuffed with words by being called Dom Pisciari in the heart of her current love child. To such a loving child, Foss smiles softly, "I've seen a variety of customers," he said.

"In that case, I was wondering if it's one of my hands to" try to believe what I want to believe ". Often, when people miss the truth by believing only what they want to believe, they can be told so warningly. I guess that's certainly true. But I and others think that people's behavior begins where they believe. So, when you can't move, on the contrary, it's not a bad hand to believe what you want to believe.

"... believe what you want to believe"

Aiko rebukes Foss' words. Aiko's heart is now swirling with regret and guilt and suspicion, resentment for the likely budding hajime. Hajime was certainly a dear student of his beloved son, but the moment he understood that he was a being who could kill his dear student, Shimizu, and in some cases take the lives of other students, he recognized Hajime as a threat to take what was dear to him. Still, Hajime is not completely truncated, either, than he is a student again. Like they couldn't abandon the fresh water they tried to massacre. That's why I get confused not knowing what to do. When it's a difficult personality, I think Aiko herself, but I can't help it all. Because that's Aiko Hayama "Sensei".

Foss doesn't know what happened to Aiko. She believed too much in what she wanted to believe in a way, but she didn't know she was in the state she was in. Still, now that I played a grand lapse with what I believed was exhausting collapse and inability to move, the way it looked might have worked differently.

Aiko, who thought so, stops eating and begins to immerse herself in thought.

(Believe what you want to believe. What I want to believe...... what is it? One is to go back to Japan with the students. But that won't happen anymore. Now I want to believe that we can all go home without any more shortcomings... his story. Talk about someone in my classmate nearly killing me. I don't want to believe that... what he said about killing even us if we interrupt, to people who don't hesitate to kill... to enemies who threaten our students... I don't want to believe this either. But in fact, he killed her... without hesitation. Then he's already... no, he believes what he wants to believe)

Again, Aiko meditates and holds back black emotions that are about to come to mind. Those around them look worried about their beloved child, who thinks of something without being slight.

(He said. "Enemy." And "I can't afford it." Shimizu, after I let you live, I killed you because I feared that I and the loved ones around me would be attacked again. Think of someone. In fact, if you're just a ruthless person, Mr. Yue or Mr. Shea can't be that trusting. He wanted to turn down his hindsight worries for those kids too... so he couldn't keep them alive. I mean, you didn't think I could do anything about you, Shimizu... if I wanted to keep you alive, I had to show you something I could be sure I could make you revamp... in the end, just because I'm helpless... Shimizu... still, I can't believe I killed you that way... even Shimizu is weak... ugh)

Hajime, who shot and killed Shimizu, also had a clear reason to just do so. So my beloved child tries to believe that he is not a broken person or anything else who thinks nothing of killing people, not a monster he doesn't understand, not an enemy who harms his students in the dark clouds, but a "student" whose words still arrive. And in that thought process, I remembered the assumption (...) that students were blowing up because of the sight of the shock of shooting their students to death.

(Yes. Why, I've forgotten before. In the first place, he came to that place because I asked him to help you, Shimizu, who is dying (...). You didn't have to do anything, Shimizu. You were dead (...). You didn't have to shoot me on purpose at all! Then why? Why would you do that? To kill for sure? No, that's not necessary. She was a few minutes old. That's why I asked him for nothing. I couldn't do anything about it... Shimizu, who was shot because of me!?

Aiko opened her eyes wide. I'm stunned by the fact that I just realized it.

(... yes. Shimizu, you suffered that wound in an attack that targeted me (...). If I didn't do anything, I'd be dead all by myself. You were supposed to die because of me! But no one, not even me, thinks Shimizu was (...) killed by him! That's what I assumed!

Aiko, who thought so as Hajime feared, blues in an instant that she was the one who killed the student because of herself. The presence of a student is the backbone of supporting Aiko. That is why the fact that I am the cause of the death of that precious student breaks my love child's heart. To much shock, the mind works an instinctive defensive mechanism and tries to take away Aiko's consciousness. The moment my vision closed to the darkness and my Aiko thought about giving herself up to the darkness as it was, the words of Hajime's departure fumbled back into my brain.

If you can, don't break it.

At that time, it was a lightly flushed word that my heart would not follow the continuum of shocks and would mean a lot of hassle without thinking about it, but hard work.

(If that word is about predicting me now... did he worry me?... that I realize that I am the cause of your death, Shimizu, and it "breaks." So... I shot him even though I didn't have to... to make him think I was the one who killed him... so that I wouldn't break into guilt... so that I could be a teacher...)

Aiko and I were understanding Hajime's values. So I don't think it's all for me. Still, however, the idea that Hajime took action with Aiko in mind was unlikely to be denied. Aiko's closed-minded door stops her movement on the verge of closing completely. And then it started opening slowly again. The narrowed vision begins to expand again. The mind still felt as cold as the extreme cold, but at the same time felt a small but definite fire lit.

(I, you were protected by him... no, not only by him, but by many others. These kids beside me are still protecting me. I can't believe you just think about protecting it and don't notice the fact that it's protected...... you're immature. If so, it is not self-completing on its own…)

Aiko gives a resolute look. I'm sure the thought of involving fresh water and killing it will not disappear for the rest of your life. Still, I can't stop on my own as long as I have students who admire and rely on me as a teacher, and I don't want to. Aiko vows again to do what she can as a "teacher" even if the world changes. But now try not to be danced to your ideals. There was no more suspicion, fear or resentment of Hajime.

(He's a clumsy guy too... he could resent me, he could be hostile, knowing that... so you took my word for it and took it seriously... maybe it meant something in return? Think of it, he's just helping me. So is the truth you taught me, and in the end, the town saved me, and on top of that, in all that fighting, I kept my word and brought you fresh water. In retrospect, I'm doomed, aren't I? After all that and this and the ideals...... I pushed that on him...... it's a truly immature extreme. Still, what he helped me with... what, it does get tough thinking... you still have some good things about him before... no, does that mean you're getting it back a little bit? Is that, after all, those girls...?

Again, Aiko laughs heartily that she remains in the care of Hajime. As a teacher, I was ashamed of our immaturity, but my cheeks broke without thinking that Hajime, whose status was stretching, had returned as a very dependable man. And I feel delighted to have a glimpse of my previous mind in Hajime, who I thought had completely changed my mind.

But the moment I guessed and thought that the cause was the girls leaning next to Hajime named Yue and Shea, my love child's heart broke for some reason. Besides, Aiko tilting her neck. But I immediately reconsidered that it was my fault.

(Speaking of which, I couldn't even thank you enough for being sheltered by Shea. Even though she is literally a benefactor of life... next time you see her, you have to thank her properly... and speaking of a benefactor of life, so is he...)

Aiko thinks of Hajime, the benefactor of the same life, reflecting that the influence of poison and the ensuing development of fury prevented Shea from getting a busy thank you. And I remembered the way I was saved (...) that I had sealed in the corner of my memory until now, blushing so much that a fire seemed to come out of my face.

(Oh, that's artificial breathing! Lifesaving measures! Nothing else! Beh, nothing. I've never felt so intense before or anything like that. I don't think it felt good! Yeah, I didn't say no!

Suddenly, I thought I was blushing, and all of a sudden, Aiko starts pounding the table with Pessi Pessi. Repeat excuses to no one.

By the way, love child and adult. Not that I don't have any romantic experience. However, it can be true that, contrary to the adorability of appearances and words and deeds, the relationship with genuine love is extremely thin. Because in Japan, "gentlemen" are mostly the only ones who really care about Aiko, a girl who looks like an early teenager. There are many men who know what Aiko contains and think it would be nice, but no one wants to be affixed with a rettel that starts with an explosion of disgrace, so I mostly end up with a good friend.

In this world, it is unusual or irrelevant to marry in the early teens, so no one even cares about the appearance of a girl named Aiko's child-face low height. So David and the others are serious... I don't even notice any love calls sent by men from different worlds because I've broken it off that there's no such thing as a man with little love experience and no such thing as an interest in chinchillin.

So the mouthpiece in the name of life-saving measures without hazy was pretty shocking to Aiko. My mind calms down, and once I remember it, I can't leave so much as sneak up on my back of my brain.

(... By and large, he has a lover named Yue and Shea... what the hell am I talking about now that there's one more! I'm a teacher! He's a student! That's not the problem in the first place! Nothing, I don't think anything! And for some reason, I accepted it normally, but it's two strands! Impure heterosexual intercourse is prohibited! It's dishonest! Love should be all the way!... what the hell is wrong with you two... haha wrench! I will not tolerate such a mundane relationship! Yeah, I won't forgive you!

The sound of tapping the table changes from Pessipesi to Bassi.

(... But Mr. Yue seemed pretty special to him. He doesn't really change his shape and style with me... but does he prefer little women? Like, uh, like me? No, no, no, no, what are you talking about? I don't! Know what he likes and do! Mostly, he's eight years younger... and with that said, Mr. Yue lived quite a while in the vampire clan? I mean, does he like small, older women? So what are you gonna do about it? Go back to your sanity, Aiko Hayama! You're a teacher! He's a student! As much as I was a little kissed, I'm disqualified as a teacher to be able to wolf!

I thought I slapped the table out, I held my face down with both hands and started earring, slapping the table again, earring again, and eventually saying, "I'm a teacher. No!," he began to punch his forehead at the table.

Students and escort knights, a group of lovers of boulder Aiko, are also in her odd state of donning. "Oh, you're feeling better," said Foss, who inspired Aiko to begin odd behavior with one hundred faces, smiling serenely. Big guy.

Aiko then self-completes what she felt for Hajime with the temporary loss of her mind, which was becoming emotionally unstable. And Hajime was determined to return to the kingdom in case Hajime had to be preserved from the upper ecclesiastical levels of the kingdom and ecclesiastical church where Hajime's information had been passed on, beyond being a student as well.

Aiko hasn't noticed. That the Hajime thing is not self-completing, it's just shelving. When we call the students in our hearts, we say, "That child," and so on, whereas the Hajime thing is called "he."

And even for the feeling that it started sprouting. Aiko realizes that just a little further...
