Shinka no Mi

It was us who returned safely to our original star after freeing Mr. Zephal, Lutia's father, but here we are to break up with both Lutia and Mr. Zephal.

"Seems like I've said it many times, but it really helped. Thanks."

"If it weren't for Makoto... your father wouldn't have helped. Thank you so much."

We panic because it's time for the two of us to bow our heads.

"Give me your head! Anyway, I'm glad I could help."

"Right! Besides, I didn't do anything, did I? Because Makichi just solved it all!

"That's right. In fact, if it weren't for us, if it weren't for Sincerely, it would've all been over."

"...... hmm. Never mind."

"Oh, yeah! Instead, I pulled my leg more..."

"Well, I could eat unknown foods. Let's thank you there."

Around one of them said he had a bad feeling, but all of us said we didn't care about Routier.

Well, I say that neither Salia nor Al are alone... but as far as I'm concerned, I haven't had any particular difficulty, and Salia has noticed Lutia's father's anomaly the most, or Al has been a common sense man among these... she should have contributed very much.

"Prepare the best hospitality if you have the chance to come to the Demon Kingdom"

"Well then... see you later"

At the end of the day, when they said so, they returned to the demonic kingdom.

I was dropping them off and I remembered fu, but the sheep didn't come out.

... I wonder if the dungeon would have been truly broken even though Mr. Zephal, the demon king who was sealed, was released?

I had a letter from the sheep before, even if it wasn't a true trespass, but this time it's not even there.

Well, I didn't move it to the entrance, I moved it elsewhere, so I can't help it.

If so, what are the conditions for true trespassing?

... I have no idea what you're thinking. Isn't he forgetting? You all right, buddy?

I thought of that, but I didn't hear from the sheep, so I ended up not knowing the answer.

Then we also moved right to Terveil, where we fell asleep today because there was so much going on.

And the next day.

They were all dining together in the "Tree of Peace" where we were staying.

"Well, I don't know what I have to do for the moment... what do I do? I didn't get a request here, and you want me to do something?

When Al says so, Salia raises her hand.

"Yes, yes! I want to go to the orphanage!

"...... hmm. Me too."

Then Origa snorted at Salia's words, too.

Seeing those two, Zola tilts her neck.

"Oh, um... what is an orphanage like?

"Oh, you're not familiar with Zola who was in the dungeon... an orphanage is an institution that raises close, hey children to a certain age. Of course, equipment is different from country to country, and subsidies from the state are more generous than any other in this Wimbledon kingdom, right?

"Heh. That's amazing."

Zora nodding as impressed by Al's explanation.

Then Origa pulled the hem of Zola's clothes.

"... Zola, sister"

"Yes? What's up?

"... Zola, do you want to come with your sister?

"Oh yeah!? Me too!? So, but... this is what I look like..."

Zola says so, touching her own hair.

We don't think anything of it, but Zola the Snake Clan has countless snakes in her hair.

That's why you seem afraid you'll scare the kids with that hair...

"It's all right! Because we're all good kids!

"...... hmm. We're all close."

"Besides... I would have been happy to demonize you!

"Hey Mr. Salia!? You, I became Goliath in the orphanage!?"

"Huh? Yeah!

I'm stuck with the fact that... well, you already looked like a demon in the orphanage...

When I picked up Salia at the orphanage, I thought it was exactly the same because she was human...

"The orphanage teachers are sweet, and I think Zola can enjoy it, right?

"...... hmm. Zola, your sister is so sweet, she seems to be popular with children."

"Oh, really?

"Well, why don't you go for once? In this city, then, your hair is pretty to the point of a snake, isn't it?

"Is your hair a snake and you're cute and soothing personality?!?"

It's cute, isn't it...

Al is right, some of the people who live in this city... no, because the guys at Alliance headquarters are a chunk of their personality.

Yesterday and when I delivered the gods, I was chasing after the soldiers well.

With an unintentionally distant eye, Al asks Lune.

"No, what happened to Lune?

"Is that me? I'm... hungry, so I'm eating something!

"I'm eating right now?

Why are you hungry when you're eating? Isn't that strange?

I knew you hadn't made some strange evolution by eating the seeds I hit back? Sure, Lune eats the fruit of evolution, too.

"Uh... well, not at this time about Lune."

"Huh!?"

"... Al, your sister's judgment is right"

"Anyway, you each have something you want to do. So..."

"Hmm?"

Al separates words there, and for some reason he turns his gaze on me.

No, not only Al, but Salia and the others were looking at me.

"Hey, what?

"No, it's nothing. What about you?

"What, me?

"That's right. I thought you were the only one who said what you planned for today. The... what? If you're free, why don't you join me?

I was whining unconsciously as I found Al's suggestion to dye my face red fascinating.

"I need a break... I want it"

"What?"

Al has a decent look at how unexpected my words were.

Salia and the others looked at each other and were surprised.

"Ya, when you say off... is that it? Like going shopping for a holiday?

"I guess that's off too...... I don't know what, more like this...... I want to play"

"Do you want to play?

Al, with a suspicious look on his face, has run into mundane questions.

"No, Makichi was from another world. So, what kind of holiday do you spend in different worlds?

"Huh? Hmm... going out to hang out with friends..."

Well, I haven't had that experience since elementary school because I was abused in high school.

"And then... gobbling around at home?

"It's sloppy...... you don't do anything for the holidays?

"I didn't know how to do it because people were out there."

When you're a social worker, some companies really just say you're asleep on your day off.

I know this is just some people, but it won't be much.

"Then I'll change the question. Have you tried the unique way to spend your holidays in different worlds?

"Unique to Earth?

"Sure, I care!

Salia let her eyes shine. Like that, other faces seem to care.

Nevertheless, when they say it's unique to the planet... well, will it be an amusement park or a Gessen or something? There's no place in this world for that kind of play.

No, for once, there is, because it's adult play.

Shops with sisters, casinos... that mostly don't exist when it comes to being a place to go play with your family.

Besides, Gaussen uses energy and machinery called Earth's electricity, so you won't see it in the other world.

The amusement park seems to be able to do something more interesting than the Earth's facilities with magic.

Al, who listened to me, nods as if he was impressed somewhere.

"Ha... there's such a place in the other world that everyone can enjoy it"

"... amusement park, looks interesting"

"Hey! You've got to go sometime!

I thought it was Sarya's word, but could I go back to Earth?

'Cause you've already made interplanetary travel, haven't you?

... I feel like I can.

It's difficult to confirm right now because of the problems of the Demon Church, and if we can go home in earnest, it's not when Shouta and Shinobu seniors are there.

"Bye. In this world its... chiku? Is there anything you can do to play like the other world?

"Huh?"

"See, for example... Right. Was it hot in [The Land of Mourning] until yesterday? How come it's such a hot day?

"Uh... it's a hot day or a swimming pool or a seawater bath in the summer..."

That's all I said, and I realized what I wanted to do.

"I've never been to the sea in this world."

"Huh?"

"No, only once, to be exact... I have abandoned the soldiers of the Kaisel Empire and the apostles of the Order of Demons on every land and sea..."

"Why don't you think something's wrong with that situation?

Absolutely right.

I was also flushed by the ambience. Black history, huh? I just updated a page of that history yesterday as well.

"And anyway, I've never properly enjoyed what's called the ocean in this world, so you want to go to the ocean?

"The sea... I haven't been there in years."

"What is the sea like?

"That, too, doesn't Salia know the ocean?

Then, curiously, Salia says so, so Al gives a surprised look.

"Yeah! I was in the woods the whole time, until before I went on a journey with Makoto!

"... Now I know Salia is a monster, but when a beautiful girl like Salia says she's been in the woods for a long time, it's even more uncomfortable..."

"Huh!? Al told me she was a beautiful girl! Eh heh."

"... uncomfortable."

Salia laughed lightly at how happy she was that Al told her she was a beautiful girl.

She's such a pretty girl, but she's a gorilla. But cute.

"Well Salia's got it... how are the Origa's? That's Zola. You don't know the sea, do you?

"Yes. I've heard of names and such, but the real thing..."

"... me too. Even when I went to another country at my request, it was only by land, and I never went to a country on the seaside"

"Oh well."

"...... hmm. Tickle."

When Al said that, he took Origa's head.

Since Origa was enslaved by the Kaisel Empire, I guess she's been in a lot more different countries than we are, but I guess she couldn't even enjoy any of them.

"Lurne is... okay"

"Yep, yep!? Ah, Dear Al!? Aren't you just treating me badly!?"

"No... I don't know what to do with you..."

"You're so fucked up when Al the Scratch sees you!

"To the Lord!?"

"... no, I don't like it and I'm stuck, do I? I wouldn't say anything if you guys were normal."

"Oh, you said I'm not normal either!?"

"Temehe's not the most normal!

That's crazy.

Lune is definitely more unusual than me. Look at that. I don't care where you look from, you're a normal person. You'll excuse me.

"Ha... well no. But if you've never been to the ocean before, you might go to the ocean at this time."

"Then you're all going out!

"I don't know about Sugu. I don't know. That's what Salia and the others said. Do what you want today. So, why don't we go to the ocean next?

"Agreed!"

That's how we spoke to Al for summing it up.

Then Mary, the billboard daughter of this inn, approached us nibbling to retrieve our finished dishes.

"Hey, Makichi, are you going to the ocean?

"Hmm? Right. That's what I just decided."

"Fine, Seiichi. I can't believe I can go to sea surrounded by such a pretty girl..."

"Yes, no... that's right..."

That's what Mary told me, which made me suddenly embarrassed to go to sea with cute girls like Al and Salia again.

Then Salia is nicotine, but Al became equally embarrassed, and I was blushing.

"But how did we get to talk about suddenly going to the sea?

"Heh? No... I know you want to go to the ocean because you haven't been to the ocean, but in the first place, why did Makichi say you wanted the day off?

"Oh... that's what we were going to the dungeon until yesterday, right?

"Sort of."

"Even before that, I went to the dungeon with Helen, or as I went to the Varsha Empire before I knew anything about it, and I was caught in a war, and I dumped all my enemies in the sea..."

"Wait. What does it mean to abandon enemies to the sea rather than to be caught up in war?!?"

"Oh, good... I thought I was the only one who was crazy... but this is the normal reaction..."

"No, why is Altria crying in Altria!? Makichi's words, there's nothing but strange!?"

"Because it's true."

"You're going a little crazy, so you're going back to work."

Mary held her head as she turned her eyes and went back to work. Terrible.

"Well no. Anyway, that's all there is to it, and I thought I was busy. Of course, I'm not physically tired at all, and if anything, adventurers feel like I'm working too because my job is irregular in the first place, and it's my own decision whether to do it or not... that, why do I want the day off?

"I don't know!? You're asking me that right now!?"

Yes, I won't. It's me, isn't it? It's me.

"Oh, yeah! I have mental fatigue!... like, no... I know why you want to rest?

"All right, rest."

Al said so with a serious face.

That sucks. If we keep this up, we'll be the ones without a holiday.

Damn, Al's right, he said he doesn't have to rest even if he's mean.

"Ha... Well, Seiichi was certainly busy. Besides, I've got to do something right now, and it's not a bad time to take a silly break from this opportunity."

"...... hmm. I heard about the Demon Church at the informer before I went to bed when I got back yesterday, but it doesn't look particularly working either. The other problematic Kaisel empire hasn't reached this way since the invasion of the Wimbledon kingdom, and I think it's good."

Oh, my God, Oliga seemed to be back and buying information from the existence of an informant. Wow. I'm also surprised that such a profession really exists, Oliga, but I'll use it.

That's how we decided our next destination would be the ocean.

◇ ◆ ◇

When Seiichi decided to go for a sea bath, the Kaisel Empire brave men, Shinobu Hualien and Shoutae Takamiya -.

"" Ha!? Makoto/Seikichi's swimsuit!? "

"No, what are you talking about?

- - He was hiding himself in an abandoned village on the border of the Kaisel Empire.

Shouta had a cold eye on two people, Hualien and Aili, who were desperate as if they were the end of the world.

But on the contrary, the Hualiens stare at Shoutai all the time saying he can't believe such a thing.

"Shouta, don't you get it? Makichi... that you will be a swimsuit in front of a woman other than me...!

"That's right! Why are you being so calm about this?

"What, am I crazy?

"... I don't know"

The person Shouta spoke to that way was Brood, an F-class student who Seiichi had as his role.

"Calm down more than that. Though this is a peripheral land, I can't even tell you that soldiers can't get by. We've been at war these days. It wouldn't be strange to be sending soldiers to this one."

"Mmmm..."

"Well... if they find me, I'm in trouble..."

To Brood's words, Hualiens reluctantly shut their mouths.

Why are the Hualiens acting with Brood?

It was all a coincidence.

Brood was returning to his home country, the Kaisel Empire, after the Barbados School of Magic was closed.

But even on his return, he was consequently his brother, and it was visible that he was all kinds of tangled up in the First Prince's Theobolt.

That's why as soon as Brood left, he took his own maid, Lillian, and tried to escape.

But Theobolt has already read about it, taking his own escort knights and so forth, where he tried to hurt Brood - -.

"We're back."

"Oh, I brought you some rice."

"Well, there was nothing particularly unusual out there!

Agnos, Baird, and Leon are here to help.

Ever since we left the school, it was the three of us who split up, but each worried about Brood's position, and Agnos brought Bairdreon.

Thanks to this, the Broods were able to escape the Imperial capital safely and have now fled to an abandoned village on the border where there are no people.

Then, in the same way, were the brave men summoned by the Kaisel Empire before the school was dismantled, but in the midst of their journey they broke out of that line at the suggestion of Hualien, and the Hualiens reached the village where the Broods were.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the Kaisel Empire knew about the [slave bracelet] worn on the arms of the brave men, so they did not even think of escaping, etc., and this escape was successful because of loose surveillance.

Even from the attitude of the loosely watched soldier, Hualien was not sure whether to cut off other human beings because he had a feeling that it was time for his position of bravery to be jeopardized and forced to move, but he finally made up his mind and moved on to action.

The escape was attended by a group of Aili and her friends to Makoto's childhood tame members such as Hualien and Shoutai.

And...

"Oh, um... was it really okay to get out?

It was Yoko Hino.

Hino is here because Hualien invited him, and he invited him because he found out that Hino was the one who was reaching out to Makoto when he was being abused.

Hino was doing what Hualien couldn't do.

That alone deserved respect for Hualien, who at the same time regretted it and thought he deserved to reach out.

Besides, I remember Makoto helping where Hino was previously involved in a group of women with bad behavior, and since then I've been in contact with Hino, and since I found out Makoto had also unlocked Hino's bracelet, I didn't think I could ever help more.

... except that the heart of Hualien and Ai Li was not calm because of a person who was put on a bracelet with the third Makoto's hand.

Anyway, the Hualiens, who managed to escape from a line of brave men, were as far away from the villages and so forth as possible, travelling through forests and so forth that were not in the hands of men.

Then I ran into Agnos, who were out hunting to procure food by chance, and exchanged information and status reports from remembering each other's faces, and this is how we started spending time together.

Baird and Leon split the demons they hunted for as food.

Agnos could not be dismissed either, but due to his originally messy character, the two of them were more appropriately politely dismissed.

The meat is then handed to Lillian, the exclusive maid of Brood, who starts cooking handily.

Of course, the brave groups were helped by Hino and Shota's girlfriend, Pictoria, who took the initiative.

"And yet... this is how I'm staying here, what are you going to do?

That's what Shouta asks Brood as he looks at the Bairds like that.

Then, Brood closed his eyes quietly.

"... as far as I'm concerned, I'd like to stay quiet. But that's not how it works in my position."

"Oh? What are you talking about? Doesn't matter where you stand or what. Let's just ignore it and go to another country, huh?

"Agnos. As hard as that is, you know what I mean? The Kaisel Empire added almost every nation on this continent to its hands. There's no escape."

"Sounds like the Wimbling Kingdom is still safe. You just have to go there."

"The peace will also be a matter of time. Whatever you think...... the soldiers of the Kaisel Empire are unusual right now. Besides, the Kingdom of Wimbledon is a long way from here, and above all we need to go through another country in between. Especially on the road to the kingdom of Wimburg, which has left the Kaisel Empire."

"Hey, why are you so vigilant about people going to other countries?"

"Of course, if the people flee, the nobles won't have any money in them. That's the trouble."

"Hmmm... I knew it, but when I ask you again, you know how rotten the Kaisel Empire is"

"Or Senior Divine Moon!

Shouta hurriedly tries to stop him from saying things he can't dress on his teeth, but Brood shook his neck quietly beside him without looking concerned.

"Fine. It's a fact. This abandoned village is also... one of the villages where my father put heavy taxes on heavy taxes and stopped standing."

"Oh no..."

Brood stared somewhere far away at Shouta, who was going out of line.

"You may not believe this... the old Kaisel Empire was different now"

"Huh? I'm not lying!

Immediately reacts like Agnos made a fool of himself, but Brood doesn't say it back in particular.

"I can't help it if they say so. But not my father... when my uncle ruled the country, he never invaded another country like he did now, and it was peace."

"Speaking of which... the situation in the Kaisel Empire began to be rough only after the departure of the previous emperor"

Baird, who finished scolding the demon, shrugged as if he remembered such information.

To the words, Brood nods.

"Oh. Baird's right, since my father took over the throne... everything has changed. Father is the cause of the present Kaisel Empire."

"Seriously... well, why did Brood's grandfather step down? Life expectancy?"

"No. I was still young... but under the curse. I stopped waking up."

"It's..."

Cursing was a powerful thing in this world, and there was supposedly no way to decurse it.

For this reason, when Brood's grandfather was cursed and unable to rise, there was no longer a future, and as a result Sheldo, his son, took over the throne.

"Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, I want to do something about this situation... but I didn't have the strength to do it, and I was on my way."

"I see..."

"What about you guys? He was summoned to the Kaisel Empire as a brave man, but this is how he escaped. Does it have any purpose?

In response to Brood's question, honestly the Shoutaes didn't know where they were headed.

I just instinctively sensed that following that group for one second was just not good.

Then, Hualien, who has led the Shoutaes so far, opens his mouth.

"Our purpose… is to go to Makoto."

The words surprised not only the Shoutaes, but also the Broods.

Without worrying about how everyone is doing like that, Hualien continues.

"I no longer cut off the brave men, as long as I have Seiichi, the face here. That's why I want to go to Makoto first."

"I see... but do you know where Seiichi Sensei is?

"No, I don't know. But at least Seiichi, where you are, shouldn't have fallen into the hands of the Kaiser Empire. I mean, there's Makoto in the Kingdom of Wimberg or the Varsha Empire that hasn't fallen into the hands of the Kaisel Empire yet, but I think I'm in the Kingdom of Wimberg."

"It's..."

Brood tried aggressively to deny that disastrous speculation, but there were no words of denial in any of Makoto's flying actions that he remembered one after another.

That's the same with the Bairds, with their eyes open.

"Surprised... I didn't know you could deny it..."

"Ha, if Seiichi Sensei does have one, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Kaisel Empire or anything... sorry! Mouth on!

With such a surprised look on his face, Hualien opened his mouth with an even more confident look.

"By the way, there is something decisive about having Makoto in the Kingdom of Wimburg, not the Varsha Empire"

"Oh, is that...?

"It's my idea."

…………

The air froze.

What is Hualien saying, even though it is a tear away, who speaks of speculation that everyone is convinced of and even puts in sharp pointers from time to time?

And in the family department of the Barbados School of Magic, facades other than Hino, who saw scattered perverts, convinced me no more.

"My, my, my."

"You don't have to tell me twice!

"Then why are you shutting up?

"I'm most comfortable with you. I'm keeping my mouth shut!

I got a scratch from Shoutai, and Hualien tilted his neck just to say he wasn't sure.

Just one...... except for the pear.

"I know... I know... I know where you are..."

"That's right, Ai Li, you know what I mean? Shinichi amateur..."

"What is Makoto Amateur?!?"

I couldn't keep up with the scratches anymore.

"Well anyway. We are going to the Kingdom of Wimburg"

"... I understand that very well... but as I said, the path that leads to the Kingdom of Wimbledon is patrolled by soldiers, right?

"That's assumed, too. Even though we escaped, this is how we look. We're good among the brave. Let me see if I can break through. Besides, the softer you think this is the test of love for Makichi!

"... apparently, your resolve is firm"

For whatever reason, Brood felt a glare at Hualien for going down the path that was said to be difficult.

"So. Brood, why don't you guys come with us?

"What?"

Brood, who didn't think he'd be invited, raised his dumb voice.

"You're wondering what to do, aren't you? Then you should come with us."

"But..."

"You just have to think about the Kingdom of Wimbledon after what you do with excuses moving into action too. But I don't think it's too late.

……

"Most importantly, Makichi has you."

"Brood, you should definitely go."

"I think so too."

"Ugh, yeah."

"You..."

In one word that there was Makoto of Hualien, Agnos and the others concluded so in an instant.

Even as he sighs at those Agnos, Brood is determined.

"Ok...... ok. Even if it's hard to get there... if you meet Makoto, it'll all work out."

- Thus, when the Hualiens decided to head to the Kingdom of Wimburg with each other, each of them went into preparation.
