After the explosion, when Betty removed the shrouded magic shield, everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Like a strong wind passing through, the living room after the ravages is in a mess, broken glass shards, turned over furniture, and there is still a freshly tidy appearance.

But even more critical than these was the faint sound of weeping from the courtyard. Emilia, who was the first to come to her senses, rushed to the gate as soon as possible, pushed open the doors that had been completely damaged on both sides, and the girl who came out looked around in disbelief.

In the courtyard that had been reduced to ruins, the villagers, who had been cheering for the return of their group, were making all kinds of noises that should not have appeared. The cries of children, the cries of the wounded for help, the cries of mothers for their children, the husbands looking for their wives......

Looking at the apocalyptic scene in front of her, Emilia covered her mouth with tears of sadness, repeating in her mouth, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... It was my fault...... It's all my fault......"

Emilia's voice was so soft that Arashi wouldn't have heard the girl if she hadn't walked up to her. For the girl's self-blame, although she can understand the other party's sadness, Lan has no way to empathize, so she can only put her palm on the other party's head.

"If you blame yourself, you can talk about it later. They, more than ever, need you!"

"It's my fault...... Arashi, if I don't participate in the king's election...... If ......"

"Smack. ”

Priscilla, who walked to the girl's side at some point, unceremoniously gave the other party a slap in the face.

"You woman, what are you doing to Emilia!" Nanatsuki, who came a little later, glared angrily at Priscilla.

"Shut up, you reptile. Priscilla just glanced at him, and with a majestic momentum, she completely suppressed Natsuki Pleiades. The cold gaze turned to continue to look at the half-elf, and the face was full of anger, and the pink lips spat out knife-like sentences.

"With this awareness, do you also want to be the opponent of the concubine body? Ben still has a little expectation of you, the concubine body, I am really ashamed of myself at that moment. Do you think this world is your home-like path to salvation? Wake up, despicable half-elves. ”

"If you can only hold on to this extent, before you can cause more serious consequences, hurry up and pack up your things and go home! Lie down in the warm bed, feel sorry for yourself like a clown, and then spend the rest of your life in remorse. ”

Priscilla, who was furious like a roaring god, had no scruples about Amilia's emotions. Although she didn't know why she was angry, Arashi waited until Priscilla finished before patting Emilia on the head.

"If you can't get an answer, you can think about it first. But you must first deal with yourself, what you have to do. As she said that, Arashi placed her hand on Emilia's back, straining slightly.

The girl who was pushed down the steps turned back helplessly and looked at the boy who pushed her down.

"Don't look at me, Amilia. Arashi stretched out her hand and pointed forward, "Look at them." ”

Following his fingers, the girl turned her head to look at the villagers in front of her, and the cry for help suddenly became clear, ringing in her ears like raindrops.

Tears slid down her face again, and the self-blaming girl clenched her fists and stood alone in the ruins, lonely, painful, and helpless like a winged angel who had fallen into the mortal world. Eventually, the girl wiped away the tears of remorse and made her own clear voice.

"Help me, there are people here who need help. ”

"Yes, Mistress Amilia. "Julius, who walked out, maintained his 'best knight' manners.

"It is a loss of knightly etiquette to keep a lady waiting. ”

"Leave it to me, teacher. As he walked past Arashi's side, Ronnie nodded deliberately at the other side. They came out of the living room and ran into the ruins.

"Do you like her or hate her?" Arashi, who was also about to take a step forward, looked back at Priscilla.

"Hmph, the concubine likes this world. Priscilla, who was ready to stand by and watch, raised her neck proudly, "Including you." ”

"Thank you. Arashi nodded, and smiled again, "If one day, you can tell me the reason why I like it, I will believe this sentence even more." ”

"Greedy man. Priscilla, who pressed her folding fan to her lips, looked at the nasty fellow who was waving at her as she walked down the stairs with star-bright eyes, and her noisy voice diluted the other party's words in response.

Cunning woman, she repeated in a low voice as if in confirmation, and Priscilla, who had removed her folding fan, smiled lightly at the corner of her mouth.

Rescue efforts continued into the evening, with a bag of ore specially placed by the Witch Cult exploding on a civilian wagon in a hurry to return to the village.

The explosion that engulfed a town destroyed vast swaths of forest and caused irreparable damage to the neighboring village of Alam.

A large number of homeless villagers, along with the wounded, lived in Rozval's mansion. When the main work was over, Julius, who needed to go back to the royal capital to relay the situation, refused Emilia's retention, and embarked on the return journey with a vast army of pure white knights.

They were accompanied by Priscilla, as well as Ronnie and Acrylic, who served as the Queen's bodyguard. The former has no intention of living under the same roof with a half-elf, not to mention that Rozval's mansion can only be described as simple compared to his own.

Because he wanted to visit the Holy Domain, Arashi, who chose to stay, once again lived in the guest room he once again. The rooms that have been cleaned are still the same as they were last time, except for the empty window shelves, which are a little weird.

Pushing open the small door that connects to the balcony and walking out with wine, Arashi looks up at the familiar vast starlight, and a feeling of déjà vu will appear in his heart, which will become less strange.

Standing on a high place, people will habitually look around, and such an ordinary movement allows Arashi to spot his figure in the upper left. In the cold evening breeze, on the semicircular guardrail separated by relief columns, a girl with her back to it and her hands on her knees bathes alone in the moonlight.

"Amilia. Arashi read softly.

Realizing that someone was calling her name, the girl lifted her face and looked sideways behind her, seeing the other's face through the gap in the embossed columns.

"Arashi. ”

"Thank you for your hard work today. Arashi took a sip of wine, remembering the girl's more mature performance after today's explosion.

The girl, who didn't have time to respond, desperately raised her head, let her back lean on the column, trying not to let the tears flow out of her eyes again, she didn't want to cry anymore.

Arashi thinks it's a good sign that stopping crying is the first step towards growth. Accept the pain, face the difficulties, turn them into your own powerful nutrients, and ...... Become a person you don't know.

"Arashi. ”

"Huh?" The tone rose slightly, and the two of them maintained such a conversation in the air.

"Thank you all the time. Perhaps because she had too many words of thanks to say, when she wanted to speak, Emilia found that she only thought of these words, but the bitterness in her heart was gradually replaced by the warmth of her friend's support.

"I didn't do anything, I was just drinking. Arashi shrugged, he wasn't nosy.

"In the future, let me drink with you. After saying this, Emilia covered her lips in surprise. Maybe it was because in front of her, the man who didn't know how to leap over the distance between the balconies was already sitting on the guardrail and dangling his legs.

"That's what you said. Lan smiled lightly.
