The Seirei no Tami Village
Change furigana for 「Open Gate [Release]」 to 「Release [Release]」 when removing something from the item box.
Spell to save items into 「Storage [Charge]」.
Part 1
Time returns slightly to the 999th year of the sacred calendar, at the end of autumn. [ED: a month before the hero calls, I think]
Rio, who left the village was walking towards a small, remote village that was far away from the highway.
「Discharge [Release]」 [TL: "Release" here using kanji [ ⁇ ], while "Discharge" is furigana written in katakana [ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ]]
While reciting the aria to use the item box, Rio took out a shiny blue gem from the small gray whirlpool that appeared in the nearby room.
It was a spirit device called a transfer crystal, which had a false effect called "transfer" towards the "coordinates originally recorded" for the transfer crystal, from the current Rio coordinates. [TL: I know the explanation is confusing, let me simplify it—> crystal transfer like one-way teleport point, it could only send Rio back to Seirei no Tami but he could not use it any other way]
「Teleport [Transfer]」
Then, to use its function, it reads out the keyword [aria] to activate its effect.
After which, the blue vortex in the sky wrapped around Rio's body.
The vortex was then extended to a radius of 3 meters with Rio in the center.
In the next moment, the vortex vanished along with Rio's body, and when he noticed it, he stood at the "origin" point, recorded by the transfer crystal.
Since it was the first time he had used it, Rio's eyes opened slightly wider due to the instantaneous change of scenery.
Spreading around him was a sight he had missed so much.
「It looks like I came back safely ………. . 」
Rio said that while smiling lightly.
Under the gentle sunlight that crossed between the leaves of the forest, he inhaled a breath of fresh air and filled his lungs with it.
The transfer crystal, still in his hands, had lost most of the Odo charge inside, its color had changed from blue to almost black.
With that, it was no longer possible for him to immediately return to the Karasuki kingdom.
Rio felt somewhat lonely, as they were separated far away in just a few moments.
「…………」
Rio looked somewhat dazed in the surrounding scenery while he felt a little melancholy.
The location is a fountain near Seirei no Tami.
They called the place Spirit Vein, he knew about the high density mana* in that place. [TL*: Where here uses katakana [ ⁇ ] which refers to the external Mana present in the environment]
When he set the origin coordinates of the crystal transfer, if he were to choose a place with a less constant amount of mana density than that place, the amount of odo needed for the transfer would increase in bulk.
「By the way, I have to meet them first」
When he arrived at that place, Rio had already confirmed that the place was Seirei no Tami with a very skilled perception.
Using odo's visual perception, Seirei no Tami, who was also very skilled in mana and odo perception, sensed the disturbance and was able to guess that, with spirit art, it was some kind of magic.
On the other hand, it is not only the perception of the odo, the human race, who cannot sense the mana or see the odo, whether it is magic or spirit art used, it is the spirit art used, they are poor in paying attention to them unless it is used right before them.
And, there is a vast magical barrier surrounding the village of Seirei no Tami that will give a reaction once an unknown intruder with a fixed number of odo is confirmed.
In addition, there were the existences of other races, with sharp noses, and people who used spirits, who had extraordinary perceptual abilities.
If an intruder appeared within close range, they would be detected immediately, as in the case of Rio and Latifa.
In front of Rio was the center of the Seirei no Tami village city.
He would be able to see a large plantation in the logged forest if he walked a little further inside the forest.
There was no plant that would not grow for the Seirei no Tami, who could freely manipulate the water and earth spirit arts.
As long as they had seeds, they could use any method to nurture difficult plants, they could also improve them by using the knowledge of Dryad, the spirit of a large tree.
Rio walked forward while enjoying the surrounding scenery.
「..... Chan!」
He could hear a voice he had missed so much, from somewhere.
Rio looked around.
After that, the voice owner appeared ——–.
「Onii-chan!」 [TL: Damn YEAH!!!] [ED: Second best loli, how much we miss you]
Then he could hear it clearly.
The voice of a girl.
It was a girl that he regarded as his little sister in his heart.
And that person came towards Rio without hiding his signs.
He knew no one but one who called him that way.
Rio reflexively smiled happily.
「Onii-chan! Oh, onii-chan! 」[TL: Hell YEAH!!!]
And there, the girl he had expected ran at high speed towards Rio.
The girl smiled widely as she ran towards him while Rio also replied to her.
And then, he saw her appearance.
The girl, Latifa, had grown far away as long as she had not met Rio.
He'll be 13 soon.
「Latifa」
To latifa, who was running to him, Rio called his name in a soft voice.
「EEi ~ t. ...」.
Exactly like that, the hurried Latifa hugged tightly to Rio.
She did grow, her height increased, and her body became more like a woman.
Despite being pushed back a little, he caught it by strengthening his body and physical abilities in a moment.
「I'm home, Latifa」
Rio muttered those words in his ear as he felt a warmth coming from his body.
"Welcome to the house!"
Latifa smiled in full bloom as she stared at Rio face.
「Onii-chaaaaaa ~ n!」
Latifa buried her cute face in Rio chest.
「Welcome home, welcome to home!」
「Ya, I'm at home」
After gently patting her head and telling her "I'm home" again, she looked towards Latifa's back.
「Good day, Sara-san, it seems like you are also excited today」
Rio greeted the girl who came a little late, after Latifa.
Her beautiful silver hair decomposed backwards and she looked at Rio with her transparent green pupils.
It seemed like she had also grown a little and become more like a woman.
「A, You, Yes. Welcome back! Rio-san 」
She spoke to Rio, when her eyes met Rio's eyes, silver wolf savage woman Sara replied with a puzzled face.
"Is something wrong ?"
Section 2
Rio looked confusedly towards the girl's reaction. [ED: we just got through this with Sayo!] [TL: At least this girl is not like the innocent Sayo]
「Ah, no, it's just that somehow Rio-san's atmosphere has changed a lot ……. . 」
Although she felt a strong heart from before, somehow Sara could not recognize Rio for a moment.
Now, he could not even feel any strange signs flowing along the lines of his muscles.
He still did not leave the gap as usual, it could be that he had become stronger than before. [TL: he only leveled up after hitting the flag down]
His figure became a little strong.
When she saw Rio like that, Sara quickly turned her eyes away when their eyes met for the second time.
「Is that? Well maybe because I've grown a little taller. We must enter the village first, true 」
Just like that, with Latifa clinging like glue to her arm while letting out a loose smile, Rio stepped up to meet Sara.
With Rio's height, it was slightly more than 180cm (5.9ft), making even Sara, who was standing nearby, look up to see his face.
Sara looked at Rio's face right from the front.
「Even if you become taller, but, how should I say, you seem to be more like an adult」
Although the atmosphere had been calm since before, at that moment his face was still like that of an innocent person.
Moreover, it seemed like his mentality had also grown during his journey.
Surely, that kind of atmosphere was flowing out from him.
That's what he thinks.
「Are you not coming with the others?」
「Ahahahaha, when we were in the middle of the tea party at the Asura-sama house, though when we saw mana and oo fluctuate in the fountain where the transfer magic formation was scattered, it was not, Latifa suddenly ran with all her strength」
At that time, since Oufia and Alma were not arive yet, Sara was the only one chasing after Latifa.
Perhaps, Oufia and Alma also felt the fluctuations of odo and mana.
The two of them [Sara and Latifa] stood up and placed Rio between them and, like that, they walked naturally towards the city.
"Is it so . Since I brought some souvenirs, please look forward to it 」
They passed through many Seirei no Tami people along the way as they walked in the dim winter sun, chatting to each other.
Many of them greeted her when they saw her walking along with Sara and Latifa.
「Ah, Rio onii-sama! You've already returned. Welcome to the house! 」
「Ooh, Welcome back, Rio-aniki. 」
Incidentally, when they passed one of the many plazas in the village, they were greeted by Asran the beast-predating young man and Sara's younger sister, Bell.
「I'm home, friend」
Bell smiled kindly on his face.
Although Asran showed a slightly complicated face when he saw Latifa clinging very close to Rio, he still smiled obediently to welcome Rio's return.
Rio replied to them with a smile on his face.
When Asran and Bell walked with them, of course the other Latifa friends came and gathered and, before they knew it, it was already a pretty big group.
"Welcome back!"
「AAah, this is Rio-nii!」
「Have he returned?」
「Didn't he go outside the village?」
「Will you tell us about the outside world?」
「Prese ~ nt ple ~ ase?」
「Are you getting taller, Rio onii-chan?」
Perhaps because they were interested in the outside world, the boys and girls threw their questions at Rio at the same time.
「You are many, there is no way Rio-sama can answer your question if you all ask at the same time. Please think about alternating asking ask ask
As the boys and girls became more excited by their questions, Sara reprimanded them with a shocked expression.
Even so, nothing could stop the enthusiastic boys and girls, so they continued to move with lively voices.
Sara peaked on Rio face from her side as she answered their question with a calm smile.
With that unconscious action, Sara herself did not know why she subconsciously looked at Rio.
At that moment, a gentle gust of wind caressed Sara's face.
「Welcome back, Rio-san!」
When the wind carried that clear and beautiful voice, a girl with sparkling golden colored hair, and wearing a white colored piece, landed gently.
With the action of the angel, and a friendly smile floating on her face, the high elf girl Oufia sent a greeting to Rio.
She also grew a little as she became more and more beautiful.
「Ha ~ ha ~ h, welcome back Rio-san. It's been a while 」
Slightly delayed, from the opposite direction of Oufia, was a red-haired girl with a small body, and with pale brown colored hair also sending greetings to Rio.
Elda's dwarf girl, Alma, ran towards Rio's place while slightly panting.
He was the only one whose outer appearance had not changed at all because he was a dwarf.
No, she felt her face become a little more mature.
「Thank you guys, I'm back」
The three of them smiled lightly as they looked at each other in the eyes.
Just like that, Oufia and Alma joined a lively group and walked towards the government facility where the elders worked.
The boys and girls separated after they arrived at the government facility.
When they walked to the front of the facility, the elders were already waiting for Rio.
「For a long time, Rio-dono. It's nice that you finally came back 」
Syldra, the eldest of the elders, sent a greeting towards Rio with the same calm and composed tone as usual.
"……Yes . I'm already back. It's been a long time, everything is 」
Although he replied, Rio replied with a confused expression to all of them who came out to greet him.
「N? What was? 」
Syldra asked when she saw the change in Rio's expression.
「Nothing, I never thought that everyone would come out together to greet me like this. I feel a little embarrassed 」
Rio smiled faintly as he was somehow somewhat embarrassed.
「Hoho, all because of the natural virtues of Rio-dono」
It was said by Asura, who was Latifa grandmother, with a happy smile on her face.
"Thank you very much"
Section 3
The shy Rio then lowered his head.
「Didn't you get stronger! Your face is also becoming more manly! 」
Dominique said, the grand elder dwarf elda while her clear laughter sounded.
「Fumu, well you must have a lot of stories, right? First let's get into the building so we can calm down 」
After getting Syldra's proposal, Rio and the others moved to an open terrace, which was set up on top of a government facility.
The tea party starts there.
Its members were Latifa, Sara, Oufia, Alma, and the three great elders.
A sweet tea cake is placed on a large round table placed on the terrace.
As they sat in their chosen chair, Oufia came and brought tea.
He then took the teacup from the tea set and poured the tea from the pot inside.
「Alright, enjoy before cool」
Oufia smiled cheerfully as she handed out tea.
Rio unintentionally let out a smile as the sweet aroma of tea, along with the steam, floated along with the gentle breeze that blew on the terrace.
「Then, we will gladly accept the offer ………. 」
After saying that, Rio sipped his tea.
A strong feeling enveloped his mouth a moment later.
「Your expertise is as good as usual」
The tea leaves are firmly opened, the taste and thickness are also balanced. [TL: My family always runs away every time I make tea, they say: 'Your tea is as strong as coffee'] [ED: My family is coffee drinkers (less father and onii-san who don't drink either)]
「Ehehe, next time I want to drink tea made by Rio-san」
A shy smile floated on Oufia's face.
Rio answered her with a smile.
「This bread? Right? So delicious! Fill in it smooth and really soft 」
By the way, when the two of them somehow built their own world, Alma interrupted from the side, as if emphasizing her presence with a hint of stuffy expression.
The bread he ate was the candy that Rio brought as souvenirs from the Yagumo region.
「Indeed true, and its elegant taste is different from brown」
Sara also gave her approval in an instant, with sparkling eyes, as she bit the candy and enjoyed the taste.
「This-This, isn't this more in line with my liking than the chocolate in there」
Even Asura smiled happily as she tasted that sweetness.
「Yes, although I'm not too good with sweets, it feels right, although this is sweet」
「Although not matched with liquor」
「This is a high-end pastry called steamed bread in Yagumo region, its content is red bean paste, which is made from a pea plant called Azuki beans *. Although I made it since I was taught the recipe, I'm glad it suits your taste 」[TL *: ⁇ -Azuki]]
Rio's face showed an excited expression for their positive reaction.
「Can be used for various dishes, right. Especially one with good compatibility with bread. It is also compatible with 」 tea
While saying that, Oufia picked up the steamed bun and stuffed her mouth with it.
Oufia involuntarily let out a smile as tenderness and sweetness spread gently in her mouth with each bite.
「Yes, it's really delicious, even if it's just stuffing azuki beans in bread. Please look forward to planting it, as I brought along the azuki bean seeds. I brought plant seeds and tea leaves from Yagumo region 」
「Yaay, I will do my best to resurrect it! Besides, please teach me this recipe for azuki beans as well! 」
Oufia replied with a cheerful smile.
"Yes nih . Although I will go to Strahl region soon, if it is okay with you I will teach you before I go 」
After saying that, he once again drank a tea that became slightly cold.
「EEH !? Onii-chan is leaving the village again? In addition, to the Strahl region ...... 」.
Latia was surprised to hear Rio's words.
He looked at Rio, full of anxiety, when he heard that his destination was the Strahl region.
「Yes, how else because there's someone I need to find. And meet my acquaintances from the past 」
Rio replied with a bitter smile.
「Muu ....」.
「Fumu, if that's the case, how long will you stay in the village?」
As if worrying about Latifa, who was moaning by his side, Asura asked him that question.
「Uh ~ m. I think I will stay for about a month 」
「Then you plan to leave the village before the end of the year?」
Since he did not mind Rio starting a new journey, there was no need to ask for a detailed reason.
He let Rio do as he pleased, knowing that Rio had full knowledge of the village, and showed his trust towards Rio.
「So that's your intention」
「In that case, Latifa, you do not need to behave like a spoiled child during that time *」 [TL *: ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ]]
Asura spoke to Latifa with an agitated smile, as she patted her head.
「Um」
Despite nodding reluctantly, Latifa sent a passionate look towards Rio. [TL: Is he hot in Loli?] [ED: yes. ]
It was an expression he had whenever he thought about the kind of way to be pampered like a child.
After seeing that face for some time, Rio opened his mouth.
「Then, I think I should share the gift for everyone, immediately. First is Syldra-san ―― 」
When Rio spoke like that, he tried to make his tone as bright as possible.
Due to the sunny atmosphere of the place, he decided to take out the gifts he bought during his trip.
It turned into a lively conversation while she explained about the type of gift and they talked about many things.
Section 4
☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆
Although Rio returned to the village, the days he spent with Seirei no Tami passed by in the blink of an eye.
As he promised, he accompanied Oufia to tea while making sweets together with her.
Participate in the combat training of the village fighters, along with Sara and Uzuma.
Play along with the village children, along with Latifa.
Drink booze together, with Dominique and Alma.
Re-open cooking classes for a limited time.
He actually brought back gifts for the entire village, he distributed various types of tea trees, fruits, and taught methods to improve them with the climate and natural features of the village to Dryad.
「Yoosh, then!! Next is to fix the stone! And that open air bath is behind this *! 」[TLC *: ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ !]
And then, during the one month stay in that village, Rio decided to make his own home and get excitedly involved in its creation.
Although he must have thought of using it when he stayed permanently, some time in the future, his main goal was to become his residence during his journey.
Inevitably he thought that way, because of the distance traveled and the true condition of the outside world and the speed of his movements *. [TLC *: ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ 。。。]
Making her own meals at camp was uncomfortable, she could not bathe, she could not rest comfortably during sleep; in short, she accumulated many types of stress during her journey.
But, the so-called human beings will continue to think about being in a more pleasant environment, even in that situation.
In that case, it's okay to make a house that can be carried around.
Because it is an item that can be easily carried by storing it in the item box.
Rio noticed that all this time he was traveling in the Yagumo region.
And, it wouldn't be difficult for him to set up headquarters when he moved out of town in the Strahl region.
And now, after he returned to the village, he tried to put his idea on a large object to make his home.
The job quickly progressed with the help of the dwarves in the village.
The material for the house proposed by Rio was a huge boulder that would naturally blend in with nature in a camping spot, the concept also included defense against foreign enemies.
When he explained the concept of the house he wanted to create, it also had the spirit of a dwarf craftsman, who then handled the project with all their strength, while working with a playful spirit.
They then processed the stones at an incredible speed by using earth spirit arts.
Although its appearance could not be seen as anything other than a rough and ugly stone, its interior was completely filled with an extremely beautiful living space.
「With a stone this big, we can add some extra rooms than the one in the plan, not」
「Yes, just in case, I will make a house where you can stay with many wives! [TL: is this a sign?] [ED: more like giving a hint to Rio]
Dominique answered him solemnly when Rio came to discuss while leading the factory.
「Ahaha ....」
Dominique always encouraged him to have multiple wives at every turn.
Although he was unable to catch what he meant by saying that, it might have something to do with the four wives and himself *. [TLC *: ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ bedroom bedroom bedroom bedroom bedroom bedroom bedroom bedroom ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ 1 for Rio with sized bed big, Alma + Oufia + Sara + Latifa \= 4 wives, although I think Dominique is too naive if she thinks that those 4 people are the sole victims of Rio]
As for Rio, as he felt he did not want to do that, he had no choice but to give a humble answer every time the topic came out.
(Not that, well, since I don't really care about that wife part, I think it's okay to let her do what she wants as long as it's a comfortable home to live in)
With that speed of work, he had enough time before departure while waiting for the completion of the house.
Rio decided to prepare an outline for Dominique who turned challenging *. [TLC*: ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ 。。。]
And then, it wasn't just Dominique, the other dwarves also became very excited about the job and repeatedly held heated discussions whether it was okay to add this or that to the house.
And, working energetically, soon even Rio felt somewhat apologetic when they scratched the barrier with concealment magic on the surface of the house, and even made customized furniture.
A completed home proves to be a success because it is not only on a wide outdoor level for one person to live alone. [ED: well, it's not made to live alone]
"Hahaha……… . . Thank you very much"
That was how the day Rio stayed in the village ended.
Exactly one month has passed.
☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆
The night before he left the village, Rio was in the bathroom of the Asura house.
After washing her face, body, and hair, she entered the bathtub.
「Ha ~…. 」
That day he went on a picnic with the village children.
Although he did not hate to accompany the children, the simple travel, training, and physical labor caused different types of fatigue.
He sighed deeply as if trying to dispel that fatigue and then looked at the dim ceiling.
He left the village the next day.
It might be a blessing to stay forever in that village.
But, there was something he had to do.
He could not allow himself to drown in happiness for a moment.
For it changes his heart ——-.
「Can I log in, onii-chan?」
When he thought of something like that, emotions disappeared from his face, then he heard that voice from the changing room.
「Ya ....」.
When Rio accidentally replied without thinking of anything—–.
「EH? 」
When he came to his senses, Rio was looking at the entrance of the bathroom.
The bathroom door opened quickly.
The person who entered was —–
「Ehehe」
It was the fox beast girl, Latifa who entered with an embarrassed face.
「Wha ..... Wha ……. 」
Rio entered panic mode as his mouth flapped like a fish out of water.
Her shiny white skull was connected to pale orange-colored hair; despite its modest size, she could see a slight bulge inside the towel, although her body was slender, she had a balance of waist and hips, she had a good sense of, adds healthy, toned white feet.
Latifa, who was in the first half of her teenage years, began to show female-like charm.
「L-Latifa! What are you doing!?」
Rio shouted as if confused.
Latifa became happy because she could see the confused figure of Rio, who could not be seen in everyday life.
Since she is not her [real] sister, she can have real feelings and see herself as someone of the opposite sex.
But it makes no difference to shame.
Right, really embarrassed.
「U ~ hm, I thought to wash the back onii-chan ........... can't?」
Section 5
Latifa asked as she tilted her head and her slightly flushed face.
Looking at the timid and breathless Rio, he approached with both hands as if he was taking it upon himself.
「No, we can't know. If you don't go now 」
Rio answered while taking his eyes off Latifa bashful body.
Perhaps out of confusion, he spoke quickly.
「Yes, I am also embarrassed but, because oniichan will leave this village tomorrow ......」.
Latifa muttered with a sulking tone and a quivering voice.
A sad expression floated on his face as he peeked at Rio.
"No, I mean …… . . 」
「It's just today! Help u! 」
No matter how she tried to resist him, Latifa covered him with a puzzled expression.
Even for him, he could not retreat after this far.
「No, but we ......」.
Rio tried to reject her with a confused face.
「Even if you say that, I refuse」
He skillfully cut off his words without saying anything but those two words.
「Muu, then, I won't leave until you let me in!」
Latifa showed her desire to last until the bitter end with slightly raised cheeks.
After saying that, Latifa naked body reflected in her eyes pulled ——-.
「Oke-OK, you won! But just wash my back」
The confused Rio finally gave his approval.
Rio sighed as if giving up on this situation.
「Ehehe, YAAAY! Then I'll come there! 」
Latifa smiled happily. in high spirits.
Rio looked at his truly happy smile as he pondered why he was truly happy just by rinsing his back.
「Then, let's start」
「Um」
Rio got up from the bathtub while taking his eyes off Latifa.
She rolled up the towel around her waist and sat on the bathtub chair with her back facing Latifa.
「U ~ hm, well, let's go」
After she made the foam with the towel, Latifa started to timidly wash back Rio.
Although he had only approached decisively a while ago, perhaps due to mental pressure, the way he moved his hand felt awkward.
Although that didn't mean it was painful, he used too much strength.
As a brief silence descends in the bathroom -.
「……. As I thought, oniichan is back to being bigger 」
Immediately, Latifa muttered with a full emotional tone.
"Is that so ……… "
When he answered like that, suddenly, a soft feeling pressed down on his back.
She came and hugged Rio as if enveloping him from behind.
Rio again twitched in surprise.
She could feel Latifa's warmth from the other side of her towel.
Since he had yet to immerse himself in the bathtub, his body parts were cold.
And then, Latifa face clung tightly to the side of her face.
「L-Latifa?」
As his body stiffened, Rio called Latifa name.
「……. . Ehehe, careful. Chan Onii . You will return to the kingdom it is true ... 」.
Latifa replied after a short pause.
His body and voice were trembling slightly.
To him, he really did not have a good memory in the Strahl region, especially in Bertram kingdom.
He had nothing but a terrible memory in that place.
He wondered why Rio wanted to return to that place.
(Maybe Latifa is just worried about myself.)
That's what he thinks.
「..... Do not worry. I don't know how long for this time, but, I will make sure to return here periodically 」
She said that to eliminate Latifa worry and then stretched out her hand and gently patted Latifa face.
Rio smiled gently at the warmth transmitted to this hand.
「………. . See you, Latifa 」
As he said that, Rio steeled himself.
Because he might kill someone with his own hands once he goes to the society of the human race.
Unlike this village, the place was full of evil.
At the very least, he would kill Lucius with his own hands once he found him.
But, in what way would he do that.
He has strengthened himself for a long time.
He would relate to it, even in such a world.
At that time, nothing would change even if he lost something within himself.
Even if the warmth transmitted to this hand will be lost ……….
As she thought about it ——.
「You know, I like oniichan anyhow. Therefore, be careful 」
As if reading her thoughts, Latifa said those words with a smile that resembled the virgin Mary —–
"…… Thank you"
Rio grasped that hand tightly.
