"But I still haven't said that I'm weak. After all, there's no contradiction between being strong and wanting to be protected, right? And I hope you can protect me now."

"Are you kidding me? What kind of protection do you need for being so powerful?!"

"Of course I do. Think about it. Usually, when something happens, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the boss to always take action? At this time, the younger brother needs to step in to solve the problem."

He gave a serious explanation, but Irena's face became more and more gloomy the more he said, slowly raised the magic wand in the direction just now, and said in a low voice without any emotion: "...you Do you regard me as a younger brother? And you yourself are the boss who instructed me?"

"How come, I have always regarded you as my friend from the bottom of my heart, and you have always taken the initiative to deal with others, but I have never directed you?"

"For you! I'm actually a useful friend!"

"How can friends say whether it is useful or not? And..." When I was halfway through the conversation, I thought of what I wanted Irena to do. Many times Irena would have to bargain with me, and I would do it. Things were still sloppy, so he couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "... After all, you're not easy to use..."

"Hello?! What did you just say?! I heard it!"

"...Don't ask if you hear it."

"Are you sincerely planning to quarrel with me!?"

It was obvious that she couldn't beat him, and Irena almost wanted to bite him, but An Luo just smiled and shook her head: "How come...you think too much."

"What do you want?!"

"It's nothing... In other words, the topics are all misleading for you."

An Luo sighed for a long time, then simply sat on Irena's bed, and casually pointed to the only chair in the cheap hotel room: "Irena, sit down, let's have a good chat .”

.

.

Although the topic was skewed by Irena, An Luo let her sit in the seat after using force to defuse Irena's force and make her lose her way.

However, he himself went out again first, to deal with the movement caused by the previous magic, and then came back and sat down again to talk about her.

But Irena didn't feel forced to sit down at all. On the contrary, her left leg was superimposed on her right leg, her legs were crossed, and her arms crossed her chest, and she preemptively said with a clear sense of displeasure: "You said you want me to go back It seems that what you are thinking about is mother's idea, but in fact, you just want to see the two children yourself, right?"

"...how can you wrong people like this for no reason? Although I do care a little about the situation of those two children, I am also worried about you, and you really have to consider the feelings of your parents, right? "

"I have plans to go back but not now, and I'm already an adult, so I don't need you to worry about my affairs."

"Isn't this nothing to worry about? It's not normal for me to care about your affairs, after all..."

"As an elder?" Irena interrupted him suddenly, staring into his eyes as if trying to see through his inner thoughts: "Or as a friend? Or something else?"

"...all of them."

"Hmph, mind your own business."

An Luo's ambiguous answer obviously did not satisfy Irena, and she turned her head away angrily.

"Your parents have entrusted me to take care of you."

"That's meddling in other people's business. In the end, you are such a worthless person, how can you be so concerned about my affairs without receiving benefits?"

"Because I care about you too... Is it okay to say that?"

"...a little bit." Such a statement seemed to make Irena feel a little embarrassed, her cheeks blushed uncontrollably, and she nodded as small as her words.

"A little bit? It's a strange statement..."

"What? Any dissatisfaction?"

"how come."

An Luo shrugged, not caring about Irena's habitually condescending tone and sayings. After all, if they cared about this, their communication would soon turn into a debate.

So after deliberating for a while, he corrected the topic again and said in a serious tone: "Although your personality is not very good, I understand that your nature is very kind. Caring is also the most difficult to deal with, and there is no way to ignore the person. You definitely didn't avoid this problem on purpose, so...can you tell me why you don't want to admit that Nicole is Miss Victoria, and why you don't want to go back Is it about home?"

"...Don't act like you know me very well."

"What a coincidence, apart from your parents and teachers, I'm probably the person who has been with you the longest. Even if I can't be regarded as the person who understands you best, it can be said that I am one of the people who understand you best in the world. I still have some confidence Yes, whether it’s from a friend or any other position, I think self-deception is meaningless just to deny it verbally. It would be better for you to admit it frankly. After all, the facts will not change because you don’t admit it .”

"...you are so annoying..."

Feeling aggrieved with no way to refute, Irena stared at him fiercely but quickly looked away.

In this way, she was silent for a long time, as if she wanted to rely on the usual silent tactics to deal with An Luo, but An Luo kept staring at her intently, so she finally couldn't bear it and said unwillingly: "... ...You also know it? I have always followed in Nicole's footsteps, traveling while feeling her figure..."

"Ah."

"But... Mom has given up traveling, married Dad and lived in seclusion as a full-time wife..."

"It means that you are worried that if you admit that Miss Victoria is the author, you will lose the reason to travel, and follow her marriage and live in seclusion? Are you an unmarriageist?"

"I didn't say that!"

"That is?"

"...I just want to continue to travel, visit various countries, and continue to do what I like leisurely. I don't want my travel to end as abruptly as Nicole's story..."

"That's right... But I think you're wrong, even if you admit it, it doesn't matter, Nicole's story is not over, it just changed from a travel story to a warm story, and since you have such a You will not give up traveling just because you know who the author is. Your future is in your own control, instead of following Miss Victoria forever. If you feel comfortable at home after returning, then in Peace of mind at home is neither an option nor an option.”

"But......"

"Listen to me, you seem to have misunderstood a very important question. The purpose of travel itself is not to go to strange places, but to experience all kinds of unknowns along the way. The perils of your retreat and the beauty of your admiration, so that the return itself is quite equal to the sights of the journey."

"says.....?"

"Going home can experience the beauty and warmth that is unknown to you now, and you can also face the unknown truth that may deter you... If you are afraid of going home and the truth, you can still be called a qualified person. traveler?"

".....this......."

"Think about it for yourself. Is there anything wrong with what I said? Is it really okay for you to go on like this? Can you still be called a qualified traveler like this? After all, it doesn't mean that you have already In the face of this unknown, cowardly chose to give up?"

.

An Luo's earnest persuasion made Irena shake her previous thoughts, but no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't deny that what An Luo said was indeed very reasonable.

If she was afraid of risks and stayed away, then she would not have become a traveler in the first place, so why should she be afraid of the truth?This in itself is already a certainty, and there is nothing wrong with admitting it, and she is indeed a little homesick.

Of course, it is not without hesitation, but in the end...

"Ah, by the way, I almost forgot to mention that, in fact, I know the magic of space teleportation, and the distance of thousands of miles can be reached in just a moment. If you make up your mind, I can take you home in just a moment. It only takes a moment to come here again, faster than going to the toilet and walking to the bathroom."

Suddenly thinking of something, what An Luo said made Irena feel dumbfounded by his abnormal ability for the first time, but at the same time, it was like the last straw on the camel's back, making her blame him for why he never After talking about these things, he nodded and agreed to go home.

.

.

During the time when Emnesia and Avelia were separated from An Luo, they had already apologized and thanked the people who worried about Emnesia and caused a lot of trouble in the past, so now they have given up on rambling. They are looking for their hometown purposefully, and they can go to the Peaceful Kingdom at any time.

The four of them packed their luggage for a while and came to An Luo's room, and after he reminded them not to resist, to avoid the magic failure, or send them to a messy place like a crater, he stretched out his hand to let the magic Then they wrapped them up.

Then, in the next moment...

The surrounding scenery changed drastically, and a group of people suddenly appeared on a small hillside without warning.

The winding road is surrounded by large areas of naturally growing flowers and plants, and the small river flowing slowly can be seen in the distance, which can be said to be full of tranquility and peace.

Looking at the town farther away, along the gently winding streets on both sides, the houses and shops built side by side are different in size and appearance. The architectural style here and the trees interspersed therein, as well as the ocean and The lush mountains and forests on the other side give people the idea of ​​witnessing a paradise.

"Okay, amazing!"

"It's really here in an instant..."

Looking around, I can't stop looking at the knight sisters everywhere. Compared with the scenery of Heping Kingdom, I can't believe my eyes. After all, they have never even heard of such magic in the past, so they can't stop exclaiming .

Irena was also staring blankly at the natural environment and street scenes that she hadn't seen for a long time but was quite familiar with. She couldn't help looking at An Luo with eyes as if she was looking at a monster and muttered: "Unbelievable... Such a long distance can really be crossed so easily, how much magic power does this magic need to achieve? Even a normal witch can't bear such a high-intensity instantaneous consumption?"

"Don't look at me so adoringly~"

"...It's not worship, okay? How narcissistic are you?"

"On narcissism, I don't think it's as serious as yours, but in fact, the magic consumption is not that big, and it's more than enough for you to use it and you can afford it... It's hard to explain the details, anyway, why don't you go home first? "

"No, no, no..... Let's take a stroll first? Yes! Let's take a stroll first! It just so happens that this is my home, so I'll be a tour guide and take you all a stroll first!"

Irena, who was obviously timid because she was close to her hometown, might not be ready to go home, so she rejected his proposal in a little panic.

But this reason made An Luo stunned: ".....go shopping now?"

He looked up at the beautiful starry sky painted on the canvas of the sky, and then looked at the quiet street with few pedestrians, his expression was as strange as that of the Emnesia sisters.

Although there are dim street lights on the street to provide lighting, but no matter how normal, there are not many people, will you take people shopping in the middle of the night?After all, this is not a modern day where the night can be as good as the day, even though it has only just fallen into the night.

The strange eyes of the three made Irena's expression a little embarrassed, but before she could find a reasonable excuse, An Luo also noticed that there was a two-story western-style building on the edge of the town, located by the sea. On the rooftop of the first floor, there was a familiar figure.

The black-haired girl with one eye covered by her long slanted bangs was drying something on the roof at the moment, which made him walk over after thinking for a while, and waved at the three girls behind her.

"Come with me, I found a free hotel."

"A free hotel? Could it be a bridge hole?" "There is no bridge near here, it should be an empty grassland?"

Avelia and Emnesia didn't know why they followed subconsciously, but they regretted that they set off immediately on a whim, wasting a night's hotel money for nothing, but they all felt a little distressed.

Irena, who didn't speak, was also a little bit distressed about the room fee that could not be refunded, but now she was so distraught that she didn't have the time to care about it. Although she also saw figures on the building, she didn't have as good eyesight as An Luo, so He just walked over with doubts.

.

Not long after, some people came to the periphery of the building.

Around this Western-style building, there is a solid stone wall more than three meters high that is obviously made by a magician. Judging from this atmosphere, the wall is incompatible with this country, and people can basically judge the owner of the house in the center of the wall. , must be very insecure or have a stubborn pursuit of security, so this kind of wall was built in this peaceful and peaceful country.

And in front of the narrow but strong metal gate on the outside of the building compared to the tall wall, An Luo knocked with the iron ring on the gate to make a heavy and sharp sound, and then just like that Waited for a while...

Footsteps soon came from inside, and then a girl's vigilant voice came from above: "... who?"

Looking up, you can vaguely find that the sound comes from the hidden shooting holes above the gate... This behavior of being overly obsessed with safety left An Luo speechless, so he took two steps back and lifted the oil lamp to let the light shine. Clear your face.

"it's me."

"Hey...An, Master An Luo?! Wait, wait a minute! I'll open the door right away!"

"Uh, don't worry, just take your time."

An Luo, who suddenly became anxious when he heard the footsteps, subconsciously wanted her to slow down.But almost as soon as the words fell, there was a sound of metal rubbing against the door.

Soon a girl who was dressed in plain home clothes, had shoulder-length gorgeous black hair, and was pretty but a little weak appeared in front of everyone.

But completely different from the soft and weak atmosphere on her body, she was carrying a single-shot rifle that was considered quite advanced in this era on her back...Of course it was a self-defense weapon given by An Luo.

"——That, that, yes, long time no see! Master An Luo! Ah, yes! Come in! Have you eaten yet? I'll prepare dinner for you right now!"

Unlike the previous vigilant voice, the girl who looked at An Luo with sparkling eyes seemed to be very happy, and her face was blushing with excitement.

"Calm down, Nino."
