Having brought back the holy rancor from the Dragon Mountain, Lunamaría and I are greeted and blessed by the full company of the gods.

You have done well.

Yay!

"Gotcha.

Good luck.

Each is praised with the words of praise and permission from the gods to depart.

Me and Lunamaria jumped up and down for joy, but Milia nailed it.

"Okay, okay, that's enough. I have given you permission to leave, but I have not given you permission to engage in impure heteros*xual intercourse.

Milia interrupts between the two.

Of course I wouldn't do that, but it's embarrassing to be told that to my face.

Take a little distance from Lunamaria.

It was the all-powerful god Reus who proceeded to talk to me, perhaps dismayed by such an exchange.

Reus, in the form of a giant eagle, opens his mouth.

"Anyway, Will's departure has been decided. I will leave in ten days.

"How come it's not immediately?

Lunamaría asks: "What does it mean?

"There's no deeper meaning. In ten days Will will come of age. It just seemed like the right time.

Besides, and Reus looks over at the gods.

"These men need to prepare themselves. Indulge them for ten more days.

Hearing these words, Ronin took a gulp of his drink and said, "Well, it's no use.

Millia raised her hands with a flowery smile and

The Vandal rubs his long beard and mumbles, "Make a formula for efficient use of time?

I let out a sigh at the sight of his eagerness.

This is going to be so adorable that I won't have time to sleep for the next ten days, I thought.

But I don't feel bad about it.

It doesn't stop me from wanting to see the outside world, but as much as I can't stop thinking about it, I also feel a tightening of my heart.

After all, it is sad to say goodbye to the family.

Although it is not a permanent farewell, it is certain that you will not see your family for a long period of time.

To drown my loneliness, I've decided to become a child again for these ten days.

I've decided to indulge mom and dad as much as I can.

Thus, for ten days, Lunamaria and I will live our daily lives in the abode of the gods, but we will have different uses for the remaining ten days.

Ronin, the god of swords, trained me with his sword, as usual.

A man speaks with his back.

And not a word of superfluousness. He spoke with the sword.
He practiced from morning to night.

Seeing this scene, Luna Maria

"I now know the secret of your strength, Master Will. With such a rigorous training, you will become strong.

I said, but I scratched my cheek with a poochy finger.
Because she's irrelevant.

Actually, the practice you're doing right now is very lukewarm.

This is not the kind of training I usually do. Ronin cut a lot of corners to have one last chat with me.

You won't believe me if I explain to Lunamaria that I usually drop ten large trees from the top of the waterfall and cut them down at the same time.

You will be able to find a lot more information about the particulars of the particulars in the article.

That's what Will wanted too, so he talked with Ronin from morning until night.

I spent time that way with the god of swords, but my female parent, Milia, would only spoil me.

She cooked my favorite meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, bathed with me, and gave me new clothes.

When we bathed together, he washed my hair with his special shampoo.

Your hair is shiny like a girl's. I take care of it on the journey.

And being stroked by the hair.

Militia had always said she wanted to raise a girl, and so she was fussy about beauty. She nails me not to come home too puffy.

If you want a girl, maybe you should take a bath with Luna Maria. Her hair is a real pain in the ass.

The beautiful black hair comes to mind, but it seems that Milia is not so bad either.

You will be able to see that you are not a bad person, although she came to snatch our lovely Will out of the blue, but she has a good heart. If we met differently, I would have felt like a daughter.

But Will can't do it yet, and he is a fighter.

I'm the only one who can bathe with Will. I'm the only one who can take a bath with Will.

You can't go in there when you grow up, as you would expect.

Then Milia hugs me and says, "Shut up!

I was reluctant to do so, but afterwards, every inch of me was washed, and we lay in bed together.

Well, that was about as much as I could bear, considering it was only ten days away.

When Ronin was not practicing his sword, he would stay in Vandal's study and read with him. Conversation was almost non-existent.

When the Vandals read, they are very focused.

For three days he didn't speak and looked like he was too lazy to go to the bathroom.

I, his apprentice, was in a similar vein, and I could spend as much time as I wanted just reading.

I would read novels that were popular in the city.

The Vandal was reading an undeciphered book of an ancient magical civilization.

Time just slows down, but the vandal murmurs to himself.

"There's a book you've been dying to read.



and holds out a book at the back of the bookcase.

"Read it on the road. It's a good way to pass the time.

"Are you sure?　I know you said this was a bad read,

This book was written by a man named Lin Bazam, a mad magician. It was called an evil book, said to bring evil to those who read it, and was considered taboo scripture.

An inexperienced person like me was warned never to read it.

Soon you'll be an adult. You will know right from wrong. And I want you to be a grown-up, a man of the clear and the muddy.

"I'm going to take a look at it.

Well, you'll be able to help a lot of people without being limited to evil and good. To do so, you should learn a lot of things.

Okay. I'll never waste the knowledge my dad gave me.

"Waste is fine. I just want you to be able to make a choice. I want you to have the ability to pick and choose what you really need out of an endless supply of information.

The Vandal looked far away for a moment, then returned his gaze to the book he was reading.

I didn't say anything else. I reread the novel.


All the while, I was with the three gods, and Lunamaria was attentive and left me alone.

I was out deep in the woods, training as a priestess, alone.

Lunamaria found a waterfall and cleansed her body there. She practices being struck by the waterfall.

She encounters a naked woman who prays to the gods.

I got to see the hero I've always wanted to. He was a wonderful man. But looking at him, I felt so much evil.

Watching her live so close to her family made me feel jealous.

Lunamaría lost her parents and family when she was very young and since then she has been holed up in the temple as a disciple.

She has been away from a warm family for years. You can't help but feel jealous of their friendship, but the seriousness of Lunamaria cautions you against it.

"You can't envy them, if you're jealous, your feelings will turn into jealousy one day...

You tell yourself that, but no amount of water will make the affliction go away.

As Lunamaria is anguishing, a little shorebird arrives.

It speaks to Lunamaria.

A priestess of the Mother God. You are in distress.

"...... is that voice Mr. Reus?

"Yes. You're talking to me in the shape of a chickadee. You seem to be reserved when you see Will and the others.

"Can't you hide something from ...... God? That's right.

"You seem to envy your close knit family.

"Yes.

"Envy is not a bad emotion. . as long as it doesn't turn into jealousy.

"But I'm not sure. I feel like I'm going to get caught up in ugly feelings someday.

"Then jump into that happiness yourself.

"Jump in?

"Yes. Will and the gods. They will welcome you gladly.

--Milia might jealously torment you, jokes Reus.

But I and others such as ......

And then I hear Will's voice in the distance.

It seems he's come to worry about Lunamaría, whom he doesn't see much.

Reus says.

Will is just as you see. He cares for the gods as his father and mother and considers the mountain animals an important part of his pack. All that is dear to her is family. A blind priestess will not be a hindrance to them. No, she will treat you better than anyone else.

The henpecked bird remains so prophesied, but Lunaria counters.

Is that so?　Then why doesn't Master Will come closer?

Hearing the sound, Will stopped a few dozen meters away.

If they were family, their companions would have wanted to get closer.

But Lunamaria was wrong about that.
Reus says before flying off.

"Will is stuck here because you're naked. Beautiful naked girl, boys don't get to see their daughters naked at their age easily.

Hearing those words reminds me that I am bareheaded.

There were only women in the temple, and you could expose your skin without a care in the world.

But I remember that I shouldn't expose my skin in front of the opposite s*x.

I have never thought of my blindness as an inconvenience, but from now on I will have to be careful.

Lunamaría wiped herself with a towel, wrapped herself in clothes and went to Will.



Then, invited by Will, they all had a meal, a sumptuous meal, and there was also a cake baked by the goddess Militia.

Ronin drank, and Milia cut up the cake. The Vandals read through the meal.

Will looks at them happily and smiles at them.

Lunamaría remembered the feeling of fun for the first time in a while.
