"Milu, Milu!" It seems that the call from far away is a little familiar, but I can't remember who it is, so who is it?

Thinking so, Mi Lu opened her eyes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

A pair of bright and clear eyes greeted him, and the boy was covered with dirt that exuded the smell of grass, and stretched out his hands to the girl.

"You're finally awake. Today we went to the Lake of Ellingt to play, but it was without permission, and it was not easy to take advantage of Sister Sista's exit to have this opportunity, why didn't you take a few steps and fell asleep? The boy finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Milu finally opened his eyes, and regardless of the sweat and mud all over his body, he sat down next to Milu, who was still a little dazed, and grunted non-stop.

This scene...... It seems familiar.

The statue of Elint, the goddess of the forest, standing quietly beside the lake not far away, made Milou's memory even clearer, this time, this place, and the person beside him at this time, there was no doubt that it was Kurto, who had grown up with him in the church.

Just, am I already dead? Otherwise, why would you see the scene at that time? And the Culto...... Are you coming with me, too?

The young man's familiar face was still as young as it had been before, and his body had not yet been as upright as it would have been in the future, as if all the events that had happened so far and the countless battles he had experienced had never existed, and everything was as if it were yesterday.

The warm sunlight shone on the faces of the two people who were leaning against the tree, and the breeze carrying the scent of Anas flowers blew in the distance, and it was no wonder that I fell asleep.

“…… Remember what Sister Sista told us about the love story between Ellingt, the goddess of the forest, and Siegfried the hero? Kurto said to Milou with gusto.

"Of course I do. ' On that day, when the hero Siegfried returned from victory over the enemy, he came to the Lake of Elint to wash his body in armor stained with the blood of a dragon, but he heard a clear sound, and looked back to see that Elint, the goddess of the forest, was standing behind him, holding an orchestra and playing a beautiful melody. 'Siegfried, the brave dare to challenge evil, the wise dare to face hardship, you have the qualifications to be called a hero,' said Ellingt with a smile. Siegfried sat down and listened quietly to the goddess's performance, and at the end of the song, Elint turned into a green light and flew into the sky, leaving a crystal pot as a gift to the hero, which later bards regarded as a token of the goddess's love for the hero, and wrote countless love stories for the two. ’”

"But Sister Sista also said that those are later stories that people wrote themselves, and they can't be taken seriously."

Culto held his chin with his hand and made a contemplative gesture: "The story...... But the experience of the hero Siegfried does exist. As a warrior who successfully slayed dragons as a mortal, it is not surprising that he was favored by the goddess. ”

Mi Lu turned her hands back to the ground, supported her body, lay on the grass slightly, and sighed: "Whew~ Regardless of whether the story is true or not, at least this Lake of Ellingt has indeed been blessed by the goddess, not only the monsters dare not come here to spread wild, but even the hunters in the village will go to the statue to pray when they pass by, hoping that the goddess will let them return home safely, and everyone who does this will return home with a full load in the end." ”

"Hunters...... Anyway, we're going to have a coming-of-age ceremony in a few years, Milu, what are you going to do? Kurto stood up abruptly and asked Milou the question.

The young man's face was close in front of him, his face covered with black mud showed anticipation for the future, a row of white teeth reflecting the light of the sun, and he still did not know how strong his future self was.

But what about me...... Milu hung her head.

I'm still so cowardly.

Not as strong as you.

Not as confident as you.

It didn't give you the slightest help, it only pulled the team back.

Does such a me really have the meaning of existence in the world?

"Me...... My first dream was to become a blacksmith like Uncle Porpo. Wielding a hammer every day, watering his strength with hot sweat, drinking a glass of wine in his spare time, or chatting and farting with his best friends, if nothing else, this life has passed. ”

"But until that day I saw the deeds of the hero Siegfried. Born in the end of the micro, rising in troubled times, shouting with a sword, the dragon bows his head, this is the life that a man should have! Kurto's eyes were full of yearning for heroes, he clenched his fists, and told the girl his ideals seriously, without the slightest pretentiousness, he really wanted to be such a strong man, even if he was just a teenager who couldn't even lift a hammer at that time.

"So, you chose to be stronger, didn't you?" Milou stared into Kurto's eyes, and saw in his eyes his own face, innocent and immature, like a pure daisy, unnurtured by growth, and never felt the edge of killing.

"Getting stronger? Yes, I, Kurto, want to be a man who stands up to the heavens and the earth, and one day I will make Sister Sista proud of me, so that when she meets someone, she will say, 'Behold, this is my brother, the brave one, Kurto!' The boy's heart shone with hope, and the power of this brilliance even overflowed and reached Milu's heart.

"Bright...... Mi Lu stretched out his hands and hugged the boy in front of him, this warm power is called 'light'!

"It turns out that the light has always been in my heart, even if it is wandering in the darkness and lost its way in despair, it has never disappeared from my heart, like a bright lamp, always guiding me in the direction and giving me strength!"

The boy's body began to glow, and his smile was engraved into his soul as deeply as it had been at the beginning, and he could never forget it.

"Milou, grab the light in your heart, just like the power you brought to me." The boy had already wiped the dirt off his face at some point, and his fair face radiated a holy light, and he stretched out his hand to Milu.

"Thank you, Kurto. This time, it's my turn to bring you strength. Miru smiled and put her hand on the boy's palm without hesitation.

"The light never goes away. As a child of light, you have this power, this power to dispel all darkness, this is the seed of divinity that makes you transcend mortals, and it is the fruit that you will become. Now, it's time to go and liberate it. The boy spoke, and his whispers were like oracles, with unimaginable solemnity and power.

Milu closed her eyes, and a powerful power flowed through her body that she had never felt before, this was the ocean of light elementals!

Under the wash of this elemental tide, the shadow in Milu's body quickly receded like a flame meeting a stream of water, and was replaced by a new power, Milu, who finally stepped into the realm of the fourth order after Roque and Kurto!
