I want to protect you in this hand.

Merrill hasn't used a cluttered fish bedroom in a long time. I didn't mean Theodore's delight. Dan was delighted. It feels a little unclear to me that I slept in a futon. All this time we slept together chatting. I've been thinking about school since I studied abroad lately. There must be no physical education and there must be swords and dancing. There must be no magic class. Must have a chivalry department and have a general department. There must be no uniform and women must be wearing dresses.

"If you come to high school, don't come to the dungeon with me for the holidays."

"Okay. Just check the dungeons."

One day we were rarely called to Will to stand Meryl that way anymore. It's not a living room in a lamb house, it's a miscellaneous fish bedroom. The gathered were the lambs in Merrill and the faces of the international students.

"That's unusual, Will. I can't believe I'm talking to you."

Nico said. I met Cyril face to face. Are you listening? I'm not listening. Mal is with Will.

"We haven't talked to each other. We all have somehow circumstances and no parents. We saved each other, lived and became adventurers, and that's good. In the first place, I didn't even care if Mal was snoring."

Mal is silent. Will continued.

"But not now. I don't just want to be alive. The world is not just Meryl anymore. Mal isn't the only one that matters anymore. With everyone, I want to go out into the wider world and be strong"

"You don't have to tell me that."

Nico answered. Yeah, I know. So why?

"'Cause I found out how sloppy you are"

"Mal?"

Everyone was surprised. Alive? Weren't you an orphan?

"You all know our memory."

Everyone nodded.

"We were born and raised in Nilm. My mother died and my escort came. My father was a foreign man. My mother went crazy while I was home from work."

"Foreign, imperial!

Nico said. Cyril is listening in silence.

"It's not even an empire. They say it's a further country of horseback riding peoples. My mother, who could hardly stand my father returning, locked us away from appearance, and eventually made us look like kidnappings and dumped us by Meryl. And then I'm with everyone."

"That's a terrible story..."

Nico says finally. It's a terrible story, but perhaps more or less, orphans are like that. I mean, so what, it is. Most importantly, Theodore and Aloys look blue. Abel just seems to be here. Will saw the international students.

"Steven McKenney, you know"

"Eh, he's one of the leading Demon Stone merchants in the Empire. Demon Stone from the Land of the Horse Riding Nation..., Is It Him"

Aloise asked. Theodore and Abel were surprised.

"Probably. When I was a kid, I heard a lot from you."

"Children of the McKenney family, sooner or later, let's go all over the world," he said, "Oh, no, Steven, the children always answered by my side."

Mal replied as he sang. Nico asks.

"If I go to the Empire, will I visit my father?

"I'm not going to visit"

Then why did you tell us?

"My father's story was brought to me by the Ambassador"

"The ambassador..."

"I wonder how similar they are. Alois, are we common in the Empire?"

"No, the horseback riding nation hardly ever leaves the country. You're just like the Merida guy. So the hair and eyes stand out for what they're worth."

"That's why if we go to the Empire from now on, no, even Nilm before that, we might have a problem"

"Sure."

Say as Nico was convinced.

"I also talked to Mal. I'm an adult. Mal is a year away, but thanks to Arsh, he's financially independent. Even if I know my parents now, they don't have to be together."

"But I mean you, you're the heir."

"What's wrong with that? The escort, Akaasa, was kind to Mal. Your life went crazy because of what you did to yourself."

"That's the woman who dumped you guys."

"That's enough, we're alive."

"Will......"

"I don't want to disturb your mind anymore. That's why I want to avoid Nilm."

……

"Think again after going to the Empire. But I wanted everyone to know. I don't want to go to Nilm. I have a father, but I don't particularly want to get involved. There may be trouble, but I want you to do something with me."

"You're so willing to get involved."

Bran said it like it was out there.

"Mal's a little troubled."

"I can't believe Mal's bothering me."

Blanc makes a mistake.

"Mal likes Arsh. Arsh likes Mal too"

Of course! I nodded.

"What if Arsh is gone? Mal is sad. Were you sad that Mal was gone?"

"Well, you..."

"If you've already forgotten, that's fine. But if you're happier to find out you're alive, you can let me know."

"But that's since I went to the Empire"

Will took it.

"So you can't go drop me off at Aloise, Theodore, Abel, Nilm"

"I don't mind."

"Well, why don't we do this?"

Sophie, who was listening in silence, said out.

"I'm supposed to be sent to Nilm and Saim as soon as I get a job in the Alliance."

"Even though it's a central guild?

"Just take your time, he said, and make me a breakfast and lunch mechanism. They're offering special allowances. And he said he doesn't mind if I take his people. He said he'd make allowance for it, too. Maria was already having a hard time asking for help from the Academy, and I was hoping to get Arsh and the others to help me in any case."

"I don't mind that."

Oh, that big central guild chief. When I look at Cyril and Will and Mal, he's nodding.

"But that and what is this..."

"So we're all going to drop him off by Nilm. From there, the four Arshes go to the sem. Me, Nico and Blanc go to Nilm to drop off international students. And keep working in the guild."

"Wait a minute, are we too?

Nico says in advance.

"Well, you can do it alone, but you'd better have a face you know a little bit about"

"Yep..."

"Do you have to be without Maria?

"Well, that's not..."

"Nico, give it up. It's the same year, so we can't help it."

"That's Bran! Let's do that. Well, I guess that's enough, good night."

"" "Good night......" "

Sophie and Maria left with a tickling laugh.

"What were you talking about?"

"I don't know. Sophie just got the best of it."

Nico and Blanc said bumps.

"Well, Will, Mal, I understand. I'll help you if anything happens."

"Thanks"

"Goodnight."

"Good night."

Nico and Bran are gone.

"Surprised, but we'll gather some information when we get back to the Empire"

"Fine, I just wanted you to hear it"

"Good night."

"Good night."

And we stayed.

"Cyril, Arsh, I'm sorry I didn't tell you first"

"I'm nothing... I'm glad my parents are alive"

……

"Cyril......"

"Me, I lost my parents when I was little, and I don't remember them at all. I've never seen similar hair or eyes. How does it feel to have a parent?"

"Cyril, here's the deal."

I hold Cyril sitting next to me and slap him in the back with a ton. Cyril hides his face on my shoulder. Tons, repeat with tonnes. Will gets hit by Cyril too. Mal leans on me.

"Warm"

"Mmm."

"Relieved"

"Mmm."

"Nemuku"

"Mmm."

The slightest tear, I decided not to hear it. That was the first day in a long time, and the four of us went to bed in dough. The day you travel, you'll be right there.
