The story begins, the story ends.

With the help of the Bronze Dragon and Marre, she was able to return to where she was supposed to be, and although there was a slight error in her position, she was satisfied to be able to come back in its entirety...... It's not like she's not unheard of bedtime stories about the lack of small parts on her body after time traveling.

The dark-haired friend that Aaron brought with her always made her feel uncomfortable, and Loria was sure that the guy named Nafa didn't look at people well...... But unexpectedly, he has a good relationship with Aaron, so he shouldn't be a threat.

As for her brother's resentful glances from time to time, she had long been accustomed to ignoring them, and occasionally, she would remember the time she had spent a long time in the forest with him, and decide to be a little nicer to him, but her chaotic thoughts would soon be diverted by the stinking critters or zombies that appeared on the side of the road from time to time.

She felt groggy every day, unable to concentrate, wondering if it was the after-effects of time travel or if she was sick, and the inverted cause and effect and strange dreams that made no sense of logic would torment her spirit from time to time.

Walking through the plague of the place of death should have been the place she knew best, but she had changed.

With little effort, the group crept through the undead barrier from the mountains to the north, and in the process, Loria had to keep Alice, who was inexplicably hostile to Aaron, in check, so that she would not secretly kill one of her few blood relatives in the world.

As she reached the entrance to the valley to the south of the Scarlet Abbey, she noticed that the sky to the south was dyed a dark green hue by strange falling objects...... Loria and Alice glanced at each other and silently bowed their heads as they walked forward, and Aaron, who had wanted to go to see what was going on, hesitated between the vision and his sister, who was moving away, and followed.

Don't even think about it, it's where the giant Alice fights some Dreadlord...... Not only were they out of position, but they were also out of order, and they returned to the time they had had recently gone to before they were captured in the Undercity...... Loria remembered that the Scarlet Crusaders didn't look for her at all after she was captured, and even narrowed her range of motion for quite some time, and she was a little sad in the past, but now she thought that she was wrong about them.

At this moment. There are two of her in this land. She was so close to her that the bizarre trip between them seemed unreal.

It's better not to meet.

Getting closer and closer to the familiar place, the sorrow of being separated from her friends thousands of years ago finally gradually settled, and she smiled calmly again. As the crusader sentries shouted the news that the young master and young lady were home, she silently stood in an unobtrusive position.

After all, she had only been away for 'one day', and Aaron had been away for a long time.

She snuck away, leaving her brother with his enthusiastic old friends. Returning to your residence.

The big fluffy fox crashed into Loria like a steam tank running wildly, and it didn't consider the difference in size between its owner and itself, and replaced it with the little pink fur that 'a day ago', maybe this sudden enthusiastic impact would make her confess her still short life.

Between the big fox's clean-groomed white hair, Loria saw Shoumei secretly picking up Ahri's leftover bones, squatting in the corner and munching happily, and Anne, who was huddled on the carpet by the fire, flipping through the books, didn't bother to look up at her and Alice.

After all, she and Alice had only been away for a day, and Ahri seemed like she hadn't seen her for a long time...... Loria soothed the agitated big fox, thinking that the position of her first pet was indeed unbreakable—some would-be usurper curled up contentedly in a broken blanket in the shadows after gnawing on the remaining bones, and purred in satisfaction.

The so-called details determine success or failure...... Poor by the beauty.

……

"I just can't think about it for a while, so I went out to find the dream of youth! This dark-haired man is a warrior I recruited on the road. ”

After answering the enthusiastic people countless times about where he had gone. Aaron had condensed what had been written down to a short sentence...... His original answer was simpler—for love—but Nafa persuaded him to make up a plausible story.

It's strange that Aaron, who likes to be straight, would listen to other people's opinions - it's a pity that the full version of the story that Nafa prepared for him was only used once, and that was when he met Renault.

He didn't even have time to eat dinner, and Aaron, who was wandering around with a nafa he wanted to visit, was looking down and recalling the meeting he had just met with Renault - he had grown up with his uncle since he was very young, and it would be too pretentious to describe their relationship as close as father and son, but it was also more familiar and trusting than ordinary relatives...... Even that uncle, Aaron felt strange, he had been away for too long, and he had changed. Everyone has changed.

Loria was among them, but she had changed more than anyone else.

No matter how deep the feelings are, they need to be constantly maintained...... Frustrated, Aaron recovered slightly from his sister's deliberate ignorance, and there was a blood bond between them...... So there's no need to go to the night attack at this moment! In a few days, the shy little Loria will definitely fall into her brother's arms with tears in her eyes!

In an instant, I twisted my mentality...... Aaron, who had come upright, regained his former vitality.

"I want to go see that. ”

Noticing his subtle change, he smiled slightly and pointed to the chapel.

Aaron hesitated, but walked over with Nafa. As they walked through the fountains and gardens, pushing open the doors of the chapel, which were heavily concealed in the night, the crusaders patrolling in the distance glanced at them and did not stop them—they were not allowed to enter the chapel without permission, but they were the future commanders—and when Aaron returned, it was assumed that sooner or later he would have to succeed Renault...... Miss Loria is loved by everyone. But according to tradition, unless her brother died unexpectedly and left no heirs, she would never be crowned Duke and Commander.

The Lordaeron practice primogeniture...... The old duke's act of passing the title to his second son was not without criticism, and many people even sympathized with Renault.

"It's magnificent. ”

Nafa spun around the chapel, the corners of his mouth curled, his tone and gaze playful, as if this magnificent hall, carefully crafted by countless craftsmen, had no merit in his eyes.

Aaron, who lit the torch at the door, pretended not to see his contempt, but watched absent-mindedly as the shadow of the pillar cast into the hall, a place he knew all too well, but at night it did not embody the grandeur of the light as it did during the day...... It's a bit like there's another side of the light.

"What's in the back?"

Nafa seemed to be interested in the depths of the hall, and before Aaron could stop him, he dived headlong into the corridor in the distance. (To be continued.) )
