"Luna?　Is your name, Luna?

Yes, I do. Does that mean you know me?

　The girl who called herself Luna, I couldn't help but close in on her.
　Luna.
　That's definitely the name of the girl who was with us.

　But the girl who's in front of me now looks nothing like the Luna we know.
　The only similarity is that her skin is the same brown color, but other than that, they're completely different.

　The first hair color.
　The Luna I knew had silver hair like the moon, but this girl has gold like the sun.
　Her face was a little more mature and beautiful, while this one was simple and cute.
　Her Luna didn't have her freckles.
　And their heights are completely different.

　A different person with the same name?
　When you think about it, it makes sense: .......

　The girl gives a troubled smile as she stares at the girl in front of her as she snarls at me.

It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them. It's a bit embarrassing to have a stranger look at you so intently for the first time.

"!　Oh, yeah, I know. I'm sorry.

　The girl - I'm sure I was looking too closely at Luna's line and reflecting on it.
　Hmmm. I think it's better to think of you as a different person here.
　At least they don't seem to recognize us at all.

　Just as I was thinking about this, Locke, who was standing next to me, walks up to Luna and looks up at her.

?　What's going on?

　Luna smiles with a carefree smile, while Locke hugs her legs.

"Wow, what!

　It's not a bad idea to have a good time with your friends.

"You're Luna's girl!

　It's like being reunited with a sister who has been separated from you, and neither I nor Luna is able to pull Locke away from her as she hugs him with a happy smile on her face.
　It's a good thing that you're able to get a good look at them.

Mmmm. I don't know what it is, but did you think of me as your sister or something?

"Yes!

　To which Rock replies, Luna smiles back happily.

"Oh, I see. I'm so happy. I've never had a brother or sister, so having a cute little sister like you makes me happy too.

　I'm sure you'll be happy to see him crunching his hair, and he'll be happy to receive it.
　This reminds me of the Rock that was flirting with Luna not long ago, and I can't help but smile.

"By the way, are you travelers or are you in the middle of the desert?　Or is it a lost child?

"Well, I guess it's more of the latter: ......

Oh yeah, that's right. Yeah, that's what happens!　So, do you want me to take you to the city where I am?

"!　Really?

It's okay. It's the mission of a brave man to help people in need.

　Luna says and wraps her arms around me.
　Honestly, I'd appreciate your help in this situation.
　I didn't even know where I was, right or left.
　I had a lot of questions about the girl in front of me, but for now, it's time to move on from here.
　But how are we going to move from this empty desert?
　If you're not sure what to do, you can find out what to do with it.

　Huh?　What the heck will you do?　And just when I thought, the d*mnedest thing happened.

"--Analysis--separation--fusion--reconstruction --

　The moment Luna mumbles a few words, the huge worm in front of her turns into particles and is absorbed into Luna's body.
　Then, as he mumbles something, the particles that entered Luna again flood out, and when you look, the worm that you just defeated reappears completely unharmed.

''What?''

　Dude, what the hell!　Resuscitated!
　No, no, even if it is, why would you do that?
　They're going to attack us again!　But the worm appeared in front of Luna and offered its back to her, and when she got on it, the worm was approaching us.

"Here you go. Let's ride this baby around!

"Huh?

　I let out a silly voice, but so did Rock, looking up at Luna, who was riding the worm with a surprised look on her face.

"No, wait a minute. Are you ...... okay to ride that monster?

　I ask fearfully, and Luna replies with a smile on her face.

"It's okay. It's all right. This is a demon that is newly reconstructed by my power, so she will definitely listen to me and is no longer in danger. See, I can show you how to juggle things like this.



　With that, the worm placed Luna on its head, jumped up and down, dove into the sand, and emerged on the ground again.
　It was like a dolphin jumping show, and Luna was laughing happily as she wiped her sandy body.

Quick, get in, get in!

　With that, Luna points to the worm's back and urges me and Rock to straddle the worm's back.
　As soon as we get on, Luna gives the signal, and the worm starts swimming through the sand like water.
　Wow, this is certainly a very convenient way to get around.
　This is even easier than the Kobda we rode in the past.
　Thinking about this, I call out to her, remembering what Luna just did.

"That's great, Luna. Is it possible that you can create a demon like you did before?

"Yes, it is. That's the skill of a great brave man that I have.

"Heh, ...... is a big brave man!

"Huh?　Didn't I tell you that first?

　I was surprised to hear the word "big brave," but as I had said when I first introduced myself, I hadn't really thought about it.
　I was so shocked by the word "Luna" that I hadn't been able to think about it: .......

It's hard to explain in detail, but like before, it's like taking a dead monster and remaking it into a new one. To be precise, it's not. By the way, there are only three people in this world who can create a demon like this right now.　One is me. And the other one is my father.

"Well, I guess Luna's father can make a demon too?

Yeah. But it's a totally different approach than mine, and I know what monsters I can make.

　I'm surprised there are people who can make demons other than my own.
　No, it's a first for anyone other than my dad?　Well, that's not exactly a demon, but rather a skill to make demons as vegetables.

Who's the third one left, by the way?

"Ah, ...... the guy. ......

　It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to find out what's going on.

It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them. That's why it's an enemy of ours: ......

　A minion of the Demon King?　Does that mean Mom's?
　But Mom didn't have a witch named Miraca under her command.
　Are you talking about Ys?
　No, it can't be: .......

　And I've been wondering for a while now that Luna is the "Great Brave".
　There are only seven brave men in the history of this world.
　I know six of them, Lily Amarnes Rostam Zachary Zachary and Felid Turgi.
　But I never met the last one.

　Lily once told me that he was the first great warrior born in this world.
　You mean this Luna?
　But according to Lily's story, the brave man was born hundreds of years ago.
　Sure, I've heard that he might be alive: .......

　But something is wrong.

　This is the same time I started to feel this strange feeling.

Here we are, Keogh.

　When the sandworms that had been swimming in the desert came to a halt, there was a vast city that I had never seen before.
　It was a place that could be called a magic kingdom, full of majestic and mysterious magical magical equipment, the best country I have ever seen.
　And in front of that country, Luna said the unbelievable words.

"This is the country I live in. This is Ishtar.
