I'm going to go find a brave man again.

Lunamaría.
"Gentlemen don't want to be seen crying. It's better to leave them alone.

But that idea was wrong.

To begin with, Levin the Swordsman was not a lord.

No. He had been a man just now, but now his face was very soft and his chest was even more puffy.

What happened in such a short time?

Is there some kind of pond in this lost forest that turns into a woman when one falls?

I thought so, but I don't think so.

She had met a god.

She tells me that the god told her to stop pretending to be something she wasn't.

From the details, the god sounds like father Reus, but I'm more interested to hear what he has to say.

"If you stop pretending to be something you're not, could it be that you were always a woman?

Yes, boy, I'm a woman. I've been traveling around dressed as a man.

"It looks like he liked girls.

It was an act or a performance. I didn't want to be licked, so I surrounded myself with women.

I see, if you play a womanizer that flamboyantly, you'll be noticed in a way, and it might be difficult to be recognized as a beautiful woman in men's clothing.

I've been thinking that the hero who saves the world is the Brave Girls, so in a way it's a good thing.

And then the brave person apologizes for his or her past attitude and bows down.

Boy, please forgive me for my past rudeness. And I am grateful for the gift of life that you just gave me.

Levin bows his head deeply.

"I don't care about that. I don't care.

It would be nice to hear that.

And then she will ask me for advice.

"...... I'm going to go to my friends, but I'm a little scared. Will they forgive me?

"I'm sure you'll forgive me. This is not a comforting thought, but an honest one. Mr. Levin's smile is much more appealing now than it was before. I'm sure he'll understand what's going on.

I hope so. I hope so.

When she says this, she declares, "The Brave Girls are disbanded.

Let's start from scratch. I don't have time to keep the girls around, and I'm not yet a good fighter. I'm going to travel alone and build up my strength first.

It may be for the best, but at least let Squire Lynx accompany you.

He is a migrant squire, and he respected Levin.

I thought it would be a negative for both of us to be separated.

Understanding my intentions, Levin nodded his head and promised to see me again.

Goodbye, I won't say goodbye. I want to be a full-fledged hero and see the boy again soon.

I'm looking forward to that day, but Levin is already a brave man. You've stopped pretending to be something you're not and are about to embark on a new journey. Cowards can't do that.

Hearing those words, she loosened her mouth and

Godly boy. Every word sticks in my mind.

And laughed.

I let out a laugh too. I let out a giggle because I'm God's son.

Then I want to be her friend and shake her hand. She accepts.

We shake hands and exchange a few goodbyes, and then we walk in different directions.

And I don't have to go back to where I was before because Luna Maria has arrived.

When we realized that we couldn't equip the holy sword, there was no reason for us to go back there.

The rest is up to the brave men and their friends.

After realizing that, I decided to head out of the forest.

By the way, the fairy I had just befriended was on Lunamaria's shoulder.

She's going to walk us to the edge.

I was grateful for that feeling, so I accepted the offer and we headed straight out of the lost forest.




This is how I said goodbye to Levin and the others. We also say goodbye to Lil' the fairy. We reached the edge of the forest.

We passed through the dense forest and for the first time in a long time, we were bathed in sunlight.

Luna Maria is

"Ummm, that feels good.

And to stand tall. I'd like to do the same, but before I do, I need to check.

"I know you can't equip the holy sword, but I think you should go back to Anaheim Trading Company and tell Viktor.

I guess so. That would be good.

I agree with you, but I also add: "By the way, you can't equip it only 'now'.

By the way, the only thing you can't equip is 'now'. You will be able to do it someday.

Are you still waiting for me to awaken as a hero?



Yes. It's strange that a man like Master Will doesn't have the Stigmata of the Brave.

I want you to give up, but I don't think you're going to give up forever. I wish she would give up, but she doesn't seem to be willing to give up forever. The hardness of her will is even greater than the rock that the holy sword was stuck in.
Once you decide, you feel like you'll never leave.

So I gave up and headed with her to the city of the Northwoods.

The journey was slow and unhurried, but that was only the beginning.
The second half of the journey is a bit rushed.
Because along the way we came across a fast horse.

The horse belonged to the head of House Anaheim, Viktor's messenger.

According to the messenger of the horse, the villa where Victor's daughter, Karen, is staying is under attack by the Garde Company.

It was attacked.
He wanted you to save it.

Imagining Karen's dire straits, we headed at maximum speed to Anaheim's villa on the outskirts of the city of Northwood.
