Expecting to Fall into Ruin, I Aim to Become a Blacksmith

The day has come to return to school.

Vine still says nothing in silence.

I wish I could say something, I think.

Shortly before I left, I was able to meet with Crossi again.

"Master, I'm sorry you're here because you can't do anything"

"That's okay. Everyone has told me that Crossi is having a hard time. It's gonna be tough, but can you do your best?

"Yes, I'm fine. It's just..."

"Just?"

"No, it's nothing. So, that's goodbye. I don't know when I'll see you next, but I'll spend my days believing I'll see you."

"Oh, I feel the same way"

Say goodbye to Crossi.

I feel really sad.

Rayle also spared a goodbye to Crossi.

They weren't even very close friends, so they don't seem particularly profound either.

The problem is Vine.

He's supposed to be the saddest, but somehow he doesn't even try to say goodbye.

"Vine."

Crossi spoke up, and finally Vine turned her face too.

"What?"

"I don't know what. Maybe we'll never see each other again."

"Oh, yeah"

"Don't you have something"

"Nothing in particular..."

"The man who says you... idiot..."

"Kurli, let's go now"

Vine said that in dark, heavy words.

"Are you sure? Crossy's here because of me."

"That's okay. I've already said goodbye."

Crossi is leaning over and Vine is off his face.

I know how you two feel right now, but I don't feel like I can do anything to the two of you who won't be honest.

I went to the carriage and told your man of my will to leave.

I showed my face over the carriage window and finished my goodbye to Crossi.

I peered outside again and again and again, and I saw Crossi's face.

All sorts of memories come back.

Those are some very happy days.

I can't stop crying.

I cried like a maiden, but still the carriage goes inorganic.

I may not see Crossi again.

I felt like I couldn't do it when I thought so.

"Are you okay? Kurli, you."

The carriage went on for a while and Rail spoke to me as I calmed down.

"Oh, I'm feeling much better already"

"Yes, that's good"

The carriage quieted down for a while.

Nobody tries to talk.

Talk about something, I didn't feel that way.

"Shall we sing a poem?

Rayle desperately tried to change the air, but I don't want to hear a poem.

Why does this man sing poetry?

When it showed a silent refusal, Rayle sang fine.

Other than that, it's a beautiful voice, and it's rhythmic.

Kind of like a little bird chirping.

The journey I felt so long earlier also felt the time was short while Rayle was singing.

Why can this man sing poetry?

You're wasting too much talent.

"I'm sure Crossi will be in trouble from now on."

What are you talking about?

I replied ticklishly to Rail's remarks.

I know Crossi is in trouble.

For the time being, I'm in such a position as to have exiled.

There's no way a princess is going to have a hard time rebuilding her country.

How the hell will she rebuild the country over the next few years?

It's going to be distracting considering.

Maybe today was really the last goodbye.

"Kurli, do you really understand?

"What?

I've heard NG return questions to questions, but this guy shouldn't be in a hurry.

Oh, the basic rails are bad.

"I know very well because I've always been with the prince. The hardship of a creature called royalty."

"So what is it? Be more specific."

It was Rail, who had been looking out the window for a while earlier, but I glanced at this one and started talking to him, man.

"Just so I know, Ark has been assassinated three times. Even the Kudan State, which maintains a relatively stable situation. You know what this means, right?

"Oh."

Yes, I hadn't noticed it before now, but the hardships of Crossi, which I draw, and Rail, which I draw were completely different things.

Has Crossi returned while leading up to such a direct crisis?

Looks like I really didn't know anything.

"Vine, Vine?

Next door sweating at the fact of the shock, Vine rose in a narrow carriage with a lot of momentum.

He hit his head on the ceiling because it's really narrow, but he hasn't felt much pain.

That and this, because you're more shocked by Rayle's story than I am.

"Rail, is it true what we're talking about now?

"Oh, I swear, it's true."

Grasping Rayle's words, Vine clenched his bush.

Stop the carriage, my lord.

"Yes? What have you done?"

"Fine, stop it!!

It didn't matter why or otherwise because of Vine's too compelling, and your man had to stop the horse.

Vine stepped out of the carriage, regardless of us solidifying, and took the same amount of luggage and the proud sword in his hand.

"Kurli, I have to go"

"... oh."

I didn't understand it as soon as I heard it, but I also knew I didn't have to ask after because I knew the man who said Vine.

"Are you going?

"Oh, I'm going"

"We may never see each other again."

"Still I go. I'll try to protect Crossi with my sword."

Vine put his sword on him and said so firmly.

Originally handsome but looked even cooler today.

"Then take this"

I gave Vine two daggers carved out my name.

"Amulet."

"Thanks"

Vine received and put a sword in Skasca's bag.

Perhaps the final breakup.

I hugged Vine and didn't change my words.

Vine's back didn't go after him with his eyes.

I'm going to cry again when I see it.

Breaking up with two best friends a day is too bouldering.

I let the carriage leave.

There were three of us when we came, but now there's two of us.

Big Vine is gone.

The carriage wasn't even that narrow.

"Vine, you're so thoughtful."

"Oh, because that's the one"

"Besides, it's a fellowship"

"Oh, because that's the one"

"And it's so cool"

"Oh, that kind of thing..."

I was speechless.

For the first time I borrowed Rail's chest and cried out of my mind.

I smelled like roses from the Rail.

What, why!? I pulled a little dong.
