After that, none of us spoke up, and the surroundings were silent.
　Neither Snow nor I nor Rouge-chan could say anything in front of Titi, who had turned into a demonic form. There was only one person who could answer that question.

(......) Those people are the 'Magic Stone Humans' (Jewelculus). (I still can't say that they are the true 'demon humans' that I want to help)

　From one of the trees, a slightly frightened Id's voice rang out, which was immediately countered by Titi.

'So you're abandoning me!　I'm telling you, that mindset is the same as the South used to be!　Don't you realize that you're just switching words?
(...... Now, I'm not interested in arguing with The Lord Who Rules (Lord). Instead, it's the Ancestor Vortex Wave first. (If I don't get rid of Ancestor Vortex Wave before I convince you, we'll go in circles no matter what we talk about.

　But the debate didn't last and was discontinued.
　Ayd had no intention of talking to his sister. Right now, just as Titty only has eyes for Aide, Aide talks to me as if she only has eyes for me.

(Progenitor Uzumi, I have a general idea of your abilities now. The biggest difference between you and before is your 'swordsmanship'. Also, you seem to be more of a slow starter than before. (...... Although there are a lot of changes, it's still within my expectations)
Id!　Don't ignore the child!

　The rudeness makes Titi angry, but she ignores it and the conversation continues.

(As expected ...... Still, it's strong. The progenitor vortex wave is foully strong. I knew it would be, but my body shakes. ...... Just over the course of a year, I've become stronger too. Of course, so did Apostle-sama and Sister.)

　He brings Dia and Yotaki into the conversation and I can't keep quiet about it.

"I'm sorry, but I'm going to ask for Dia and Yotaki back. That's why I'm here, too.
(...... It sounds like we both have something we want back. (It would be easier to talk about it if we could exchange hostages.
I can't do that. As long as you want Titi back as your 'Lord', I can't give her back to you even if I wanted to.

　We have each other's loved ones in our care. If we could exchange them immediately, we would. But we both knew that was impossible.

　We paused to take a breath, both of us calmly waiting for the other to speak.
　At the end of it all, Ayd opens his mouth first and declares war.

(-- Then, the progenitor vortex wave. Let's duel with yourself. (With the custody of your loved ones at stake)

　It was so unexpected that Titi's voice, which had been raging behind her, stopped temporarily.

'Id--?'

　As if to explain to a surprised Titty and a suspicious me, Ayde talks about the duel.

(No detours or tricks needed. No need to negotiate or discuss. Come straight to the castle of Vyasia, where you are waiting. --There I will beat you with everything I have. I should have done so long ago. (To be honest, I've had an inkling of this moment since the day I met you.

　A voice that seemed to be vague and nostalgic for the past.
　His voice was so quiet that it belied his earlier assessment of Aide being insane.

(Primordial Vortex Wave, I once wanted to walk with you. But now that you have appeared with my king again, I will shake off that sentiment. I don't think I can reach that ideal land anymore. I don't want the Ancestor Vortex Wave in my kingdom. (I have now decided that I don't need the Ancestor Vortex Wave in my kingdom.

　There seemed to be a little bit of affection there for me.
　It was a one-sided affinity that I don't remember. But soon it was painted over with rage, and the challenge was slammed down on me wildly.

(-- I will defeat the founder. This is the only thing you can't avoid. Don't leave it up to anyone else (・・・・・・・・・・). You are your own wall to overcome. (Your own nemesis, the 'Aikawa Uzumi Wave' --!

　Titi, not me, reacts first to the words, which are accompanied by an unwavering will.

'A, id ....... If you're on your ......--

　Titi must have thought the proposal was detrimental to Ayde, as she couldn't help but worry about the person with whom she was fighting. He senses something in his brother's reckless challenge and falls silent.

(I will be waiting with your sister and her companions at Vyasia in the north. Promise me that if you defeat me, you will cooperate fully with me in the return. In return, you will fight yourself fair and square.)

　From earlier, all the words I hadn't expected to hear were thrown at me by the id.
　I repeat the same words, including confirmation.

'Fairly ......?　Did you really do that?
(There is no other way to save the heart of the Lord, the King who rules, because you must not only eliminate him, but also prove to your king that you, the Vizier, are more reliable than you, the Founder. (Nothing else will save the heart of the Lord who rules.) Not only do you have to get rid of him, but you have to prove to your king that he can count on you, the Founder, more than he can count on you, the Prime Minister.
...... Okay, I'll take that duel. I'll take that duel.

　In order to prove that Vizier Aide is more suitable to be next to Titi than the founder Uzura Wave - the reason is more than a little convincing.
　Honestly, no duel is as convenient for me as this one. It's a good idea to nod your head, even if it's a trap, there's no doubt about it. It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to find a way to get a job.

(Then let's end this contact magic. From now on, I will have to make preparations for the anti-primary, so I won't be able to respond at all. Do you mind?

　Aide asks with concern.
　It was a concern that we would be able to come under our own steam.

'Yeah, no problem. Don't stop, we'll be on our way soon, just wait for us.
(Quintessential founder. Even if you enter the bosom of the enemy without any preparation, you're confident of a certain victory. However, I will definitely show you an overturning of that confidence. (Excuse me ......)

　Seeing me as a good choice to enter the enemy's ring without hesitation, the id made a little regretful voice ...... but quickly suppressed it and ended the conversation with a polite farewell address.

　And after feeling all the magic in the surrounding trees disappear, I apologize to Titi, who has a difficult expression on her face.

"I'm sorry, Titty. I took the liberty of promising you a duel: ......
The first thing to do is to get a copy of ....... I thought that the id was just like the child, and that he was somehow mad, but not in the end.　Did he perhaps come to his senses in the middle of the game?　Then when?　Can you guys understand?

　Even her sister, Titi, doesn't seem to know what's going on in Aide's mind right now.
　Of course, I still don't know either.

　When Titty first expressed her heartfelt wishes, there was still a part of Ayde that was somewhat above board. The part where he was furious and kept accusing me of being insane.
　It wasn't until Rouge and Noir showed up that he regained his composure?　Or was it simply because of Titi's scolding at the end?

Well, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Kanaminyo: ......

　I was trying to guess what was going on in Aide's mind in my own way, when Titi spoke to me apologetically. Probably, she was the same as me, and no matter how much I guessed, I couldn't get an answer.
　So I can see from her face that she thinks we have no choice but to meet in person and talk again.

'Yeah, I know. Let's hurry to Ayde's place. On Maria's side, Glenn and the Reaper are there. You'll have to wait a little while to join us.

　In the earlier remembrance, Maria and her friends didn't seem to have any enemies. It's also significant that Glenn-san and Reaper, the common sense person and stopper, are with them. Best of all, they have a track record of traveling safely for the past year.
　I calmly decided to head north instead of south.

'Thank you ...... for the help. I can't help it if I talk to you. I can't help but want to see you right now.
I know the feeling.

　That's what family is all about.
　That's why we've come so far. Maybe there was no way we could ever get back on the road from here in the first place.

　No more detours, just pushing forward on the few remaining 'ways back'.
　Realizing this, Titi speaks with a bit of a sense of regret.

'It's been fun so far, Kanamin. But it looks like it's over.
Yeah, I guess it's over.

　This is the end of the fun 'way home'. Playtime is over.
　Titi and I will never play together again.
　We both decide on that and laugh a little sadly at each other.

'--Oh!　So what do you do with these men?　I did my head pretty hard. I hope he's not dead: ......

　As if to shake off the loneliness, Titty acted cheerfully as usual and pointed at the fallen 'Magic Stone Humans' (Jewelculus).

''No, they're breathing, so they're not dead. It's just that it's not a good idea to leave him like this.

　If Ayde is right, they are some kind of clandestine scouts sent by the 'Northern League' to the 'Second Maze City Daryl'. If they were left alone in this state, they might get caught by the soldiers in the south and suffer terrible consequences.

　I've been thinking about their treatment as I watched the only rouge that hadn't fainted cast a recovery spell on my fallen comrades.
　In the meantime, the fallen "Jewelculus" regained consciousness one by one.

''But it's sturdy: ......''

　Noir-chan, of course, and everyone else must have some special reason for it.
　Even though she didn't get up, she was trying to get her body up while staggering.

　Among them, only Noir-chan muttered a curse and still retained her battle spirit.

''...... Eh, eh?　...... lost?　Ugh, it's a lie: ....... Lies, lies, lies. I'm a saint, I'm a savior of the world, and I'm supposed to be as good as anyone else!　Yes, I'm beyond that 'present God' too!　It's ...... and oh, dear Apostle!　Why?　Apostle-sama--!

　I shook off Rouge-chan, who was trying to hold her down, and she was crawling towards me.
　This time, I tried to persuade her successfully, but Titty stopped me from doing so by shaking her head. She seems to want me to leave this place to her.

''A thousand years ago, the 'King of Governing' (Lord) had a progenitor ......!　The rematch!　I won't admit it, again!　Please fight me again: ......!

　To that Noir-chan's challenge, Titi replied while activating the 《Wind》.

''Even with this, the child has lived a long time on the battlefield. He has fought many times against troublesome ones like you. He has fought many times against such troublesome creatures as yourself, and he knows that there are some he will not understand unless he is cut in pieces. The next time you do, you'll kill him. --And yet?

　A gust of wind blew through and made shallow cuts on Noir's neck and both limbs.
　If I had wanted to, I could have killed her now,'' Titi threatened.

''Hi, hi!''

　That fact and the overwhelming magical power of the guardian (guardian) she saw again made Noir-chan scream for her age and sit up.

"Black one, be a little quiet. You are absolutely at rest.

　If it was against me, she could keep her will to fight, but it seemed to be impossible against the real one who was called the 'Mad King' in the past.
　Noir-chan began to tremble like a frightened puppy and was unable to stand up.

　Now there is no more enemy ...... When I thought that, Rouge-chan, who had been quiet for a long time, stood up and instructed the other 'magic stone humans' (jewelcrus) while looking at me.

''Everyone take care of Noir-chan. Run to the west, not the north, immediately. Because that's what the teacher said at the end.
...... Okay, Leader.

　Hearing one of the 『Magic Stone Humans (Jewelculus)』 answered, Rouge-chan takes a step forward.
　She doesn't fear approaching the still titi's murderous 《Wind》 in the midst of her still full of killing intent.

''Please, Aikawa Kanami-san. Teacher's sister. Take me with you .......

　Then, as his own party was moving away, he asked us to accompany him.
　First of all, Titi replies to that.

'Mm-hmm?　That's not possible. You belong to the Ayde, don't you?
'I know I'm being reckless. But please, please ....... I've been waiting for you two for a long time ....... I've been waiting for you for the past year .......
'Yeah, that being said, ....... Noh, Kanamin.

　Rouge-chan bowed deeply and politely, and Titi looked at me in trouble.
　I feel the same way as Titi.
　Just a few minutes ago, I was attacked by the 'Jewelcrusters' who are fascinated by the Aide, who do not consider life to be life. It's hard to know when the same thing will happen to Rouge-chan, who is supposedly a companion of the "Jewelcrus", if she accompanies him.

　Perhaps sensing our thoughts, Rouge-chan continued to talk.

The 'Jewelculus' are not all your enemies. I, unlike everyone else, would like to see you lose, if possible. ......

　I knew Rouge-chan was different from the other 'Magic Stone Humans' (Jewelculus), but I didn't think it would go this far.
　She knew that if the id would lose, in some cases, she would die.

''So let me lead you two to the doctor. If I'm here, most of the 'Northern League' can be bypassed. This is still a member of the 'Northern League' founder.

　Titty snorts at the sight of Rouge looking straight into our eyes.

'Hmmm. It looks like he's not lying with his child's eyes ....... Kanamin, can you ask?

　I know that the request is the magic that connects the mind, 《Distance Mute》.
　I respond by nodding back that I still have some magic power left.

''Good. It's a good thing that you're not the only one who can do this. To put it bluntly, it's a spell that allows you to insert your arm into your chest and reveal your heart. If you are willing to accept that, you may accompany the children. I'm sure you'll need a guide.

　A little threateningly, Titty explained, but Rouge-chan walked towards me without hesitation and pointed her chest at me.

'That's what I'm talking about, Aikawa Kanami-san. You have a good magic. You're a lifesaver.
Now, if you'll excuse me. --Magic, Distance Mute.

　I immediately put my arm in and make a 'connection'.
　I wonder if Rouge-chan understood the effect of 《Distance Mute》 by accepting that magic, and she continues to talk ahead to prove that it's not a lie.

'...... All of us 'Demon Stone Humans (Jewelculus)' were saved by Ayde-sensei. He gave us a meaning and a place to live when we were made only to fight. Also, thanks to the cure that Dr. Ayde found for us, we are now able to live longer. That's why everyone is willing to die for the doctor: ......--

　I, the 'connection', could be sure that there was no lie in those words at all.
　Furthermore, the memory is caught by Rouge-chan trying to dig up a memory of her and Aide.
　It was the memory of the first time Rouge-chan encountered Aide.

　From that memory, I can see the dry, windblown plains.
　It was strangely nostalgic, a place I've seen somewhere before--


◆◆◆◆◆


　-- It seems that the 《Distance Mute》 has triggered the "Past Vision" as an example.

　Perhaps this is Rouge-chan's memory from a year ago.
　I can see a lot of things from Rouge-chan's perspective.

　The sky was clear and cloudless, and it was easy to understand at a glance that it was a frontier area from a plain that was not badly touched by people.

　There was only one exception to this plain.
　Next to the lush forest, a mansion that had been hidden away was burning. It was burning so vigorously that it looked as if it might catch fire in the forest at any moment. A few days later, the fire is so strong that I am convinced there will be no trace of the mansion.

　Rouge-chan and the others stood dumbfounded in front of the flames that scattered the flames with crispy sparks. Holding hands with Noir-chan, they stared at the place where they were born disappearing.

　The burning mansion was a research institute in a certain country.
　As a result of repeated outrageous experiments, the result of being found by Haili and the guardian (guardian) id of the forty layers of the special 'magic stone human (Jewelculus)' produced by Palinclone - it seems that this is how it happened.

　Before Rouge-chan and Noir-chan were used up as research material, these two men and women with matching long, fluttering white hair saved them. Thanks to my past vision, I can see, if only dimly, the scene of these two fighting a great battle against the researcher and the guards.

　After it was all over, a reluctant-looking Heili was advising Aide.
　The life span of these children is too short.
　The more they live, the more they may only suffer.
　He speaks about it in front of the two 'Magic Stone Humans (Jewelculus)' who are probably the people in question.

　-- but immediately the id shook its head.
　Shaking his head, he confronted Hailey's tragic story head on.

'--Hairi, that's not true. There is no life in this world that should not have been born.

　Then, without pause, he shook Rouge and Noir's hand.
　The warmth of their hands puzzled the two of them. Probably because it was a temperature they had never felt before in their short and miserable lives. They were puzzled, but never shook it off.

'Never (・・・・・・・・). I will show you that I will save you.

　As if to tell himself, Ayde repeats it again - trying to save two oppressed lives.
　If it is me, I can save the 'Jewelculus' people. As if to say that he exists for that reason, the wood-attribute magic power of his body trembled.

　Heili was surprised at the guardian's firm intentions, but smiled with a slightly troubled look on his face - and in the end, he agreed.
　From now on, the two of them vowed to help the "Jewelculus" within their reach.

　--This is the beginning.

　This is the beginning of the new story of the "one who stole the logic of the tree" called into this era, and the beginning of a new life for Rouge and the other "Jewelcrus".

　Aide places her hand on their heads and begins to comfort them, telling them that they have nothing to fear anymore. He continues stroking them with an unfamiliar hand, as if to remind them of something, as if to remind them of something, as if to remind them of nostalgia.

''-- How did you escape the Institute with your little body? But you can rest easy now. There are no more humans to oppress you guys.

　It's a coincidence that Rouge and Noir met both Hailey and Ayde. It was also a coincidence that they escaped from the Research Institute and told him of their devastation. Everything was a coincidence.
　The kindness that sprang up from that coincidence left the two of the 'Magic Stone Humans (Jewelculus)' bewildered.

　But this person can help us. And I'm sure he can help everyone.
　I was able to believe that somewhere in my heart, and I was so happy to see that caressing hand that Rouge-chan involuntarily narrowed her eyes.

　--and thus begins the journey with the four of us.

　The main purpose of the journey is to free the 'Demon Stone Humans (Jewelculus)' who are suffering in the other research institutes, but it is basically a journey to help people. They go around rescuing persecuted slaves, beastmen, and starving villages and cities.
　The Guardians (Guardian) Aide had the knowledge and power to make this possible.
　During his travels, he also borrowed the power of the Legacy family from Haili's handed down, and created a place for the rescued Jewelculus humans to spend their new lives.

　The abused Jewelcrus are rescued one by one - but at the same time, they don't understand the meaning of their rescue and question their actions.
　They said they were created beings, 'things' to be used, and that they didn't understand why they were protected.
　To their more miserable births than their slaves, Aide would gently answer.
　He goes on to tell them that he decided to save the 'Jewelculus' because they are his family.

"- It doesn't matter what the 'Jewelcrus' is. They can decide their own family by themselves. By the way, according to that own law, I believe that everyone here is one family.

　According to the laws (rules) set by their guardian (guardian) Aide, the "Magic Stone Humans" (Jewelculus) gain a family.
　Their journey continues as they give each other new names, discarding the number that represents the number of works and giving each other new names.

　Along the way, of course, many problems arise.
　The Jewelculus' that were being adjusted at the research institute were too weak. However, all of them were treated by the Aide, who worked tirelessly to heal them all, even while she slept.

　The Jewelcrusters tried to stop the id from searching for a cure, even if it meant cutting down on itself. The 'Stealers of the Tree' aide's time should not be spent on the futile 'Jewelculus'.

''--I'm sorry, sir ....... Our lives are too fragile. Frankly, there is no point in further treatment ....... Let's just give up now. ......
So what's the problem?　If you're going to talk about life, you're a 'dead man'.　I don't care what you say, it's useless. I've decided that I'm going to help the Jewelculus. Yes, I've already made up my mind.

　However, the guardian (guardian) easily cuts off his sorrow and throws it away.
　In front of the 'Magic Stone Humans (Jewelculus)' who are becoming more and more confused by that too forceful helping hand, Ayd spins various words.

''-- Even if you have a little bit of trouble, you are definitely powerful young people. And if you're a promising young man, you're always welcome to yourself. The kingdom I'm aiming for will need a lot of people--

　He wiped away the guilt and anxiety of the 'Demon Stone Humans (Jewelculus)' and the others, saying that they didn't need to worry about anything since it was in line with the purpose of the Id, 'Founding'.
　The words contained words that were also seen in Titi's memory.

''--Don't ever give up. Let's all laugh and aim for 'paradise' together.

　With that, he invites his family to "Paradise".
　It's a kingdom where even the Jewelculus can live happily and peacefully. Let's get there together, Ayd said.

　And that's where Rouge's recollection of her memories ends.
　They thought they had told me everything they wanted to tell me. Little by little, I'm returning from 'past vision' to reality--


◆◆◆◆◆


　-- This is how I saw the reason why Rouge-chan and the rest of the 'Magic Stone Humans (Jewelculus)' were able to lay down their lives for the id.

　I respect that journey myself.
　I wouldn't call it salvation, but I felt it was close to a good-good, evil, world-repairing story.
　It was so noble to see Ayde helping the suffering people and curing the incurable diseases.

　At the same time, I know that Aide has changed a lot in the past year.
　Seeing the change in my expression, Rouge-chan in front of me, with my hand inserted in her chest, mutters.

''--Sensei, as declared, immediately prepared a new 'ruling king (Lord)' and created a kingdom, but ....... After I became the 'Prime Minister' of the kingdom, I feel like things got a little bit strange ....... Without a break, the teacher kept working and working and working and working, and little by little, something was driving me to ....... Before I knew it, I wasn't laughing at all .......

　A guardian (Guardian) may be a moving dead man (Undet), but that doesn't mean everything is unchanging. They may have a change of heart, or they may have changed their vows before they were born.
　Maybe we've found something more important than helping others. Or maybe he can no longer afford to help people. ......

Now, deliberately expanding the war between the 'Northern Confederacy' and the 'Southern Confederacy' is also unthinkable if you were the first teacher: ......

　The current Aide is too strange compared to a year ago.
　That's why Rouge-chan, who is the 'magic stone human' (Jewelculus) who has been associated with the aide the longest, probably wants to know the true nature of the weirdness before protecting her teacher.
　No - maybe she already knows the reason. It's possible that she knows, and that's why she's offering to help us.

'Lately, when I call him teacher, he doesn't respond to me anymore ....... He ignored ...... as if there was never a time when he was a teacher. Only when I called him "Prime Minister" did he look back at me with a very tense expression ....... It's hard for me ...... to watch that.

　That desperate plea pierces the depths of my heart, thanks to the 'connection'.

So please, Kanami Aikawa. You are the brother of the current 'Lord', aren't you, Aikawa Kanami-san?

　The current (...) 'The Governing King (Lord)' - from what I've heard from Ryner and Rustyala, I'm sure it's my sister Yotaki. Without hiding it, I nodded my head.

''You know ...... well. I certainly do.
'Please, take your sister with you. And drag the teacher away from the 'Prime Minister'. That's what I want.
All right. As for that Ayde guy, we'll make sure he stops being the Prime Minister. I'll make sure to take my sister out too.

　I had naturally agreed to it.
　It's because I understood Rouge-chan's story better thanks to the 'connection' and I was also convinced of the problems that Ayde was having.
　Perhaps it's because Titty and Ayde are brother and sister, but their problems are also very similar. The word 'king' has been replaced by the word 'prime minister', but I thought that what we need to do is the same as it was in the labyrinth.

　Perhaps Titi, who had heard this behind her, agreed with it, but she didn't say anything about that promise, and instead patted Rouge-chan's head and welcomed her with open arms.

''Ayde saved your miserable little one, didn't he? ......
'Yes, yes it is ....... That, thank you very much. The real 'Lord' (Lord), the real 'Lord': ......
Yes, thank you. But don't be so modest. A bit of light language is fine for a child.

　From the beginning, Titty must have trusted Rouge-chan. After my 《Distance Mute》 confirmation, she treats me very defenselessly.
　And after finishing the sufficient hospitality, Titty speaks to me with a serious expression.

''Kanamin. I felt the image of Grandma and Grandpa, who once helped the children, still lingered in the recesses of Ayd's mind. ...... I'm sure that, like the children, it has not disappeared over the passage of decades. But he seems to have made a mistake in choosing the next one.

　The more information we exchange, the more clearly we see the problem with the id.
　That problem sounds tricky, but to be honest, I'm not too worried about it. After all, I have Ayd's real sister next to me now.

I'm afraid things have gotten a little bit more complicated than they were for you. But I'm sure it will be easier than it was for you.
Haha, that's very encouraging.

　Perhaps it's because of my past vision, a great technique, that my senses are very acute.
　Thanks to that, I know exactly what I have to do from now on, and the flow of what I have to do.

　First of all, instead of fighting the guardian (guardian), I have to know the guardian's (guardian's) wishes. That part is always the same.
　However, I have a hunch - but this time I feel that the 'reason for the wrong wish' is more complicated.
　It's not like the previous guardians were artificially complicated (・・・・) ...... that's how I feel.

　Even so, this time it's definitely easier than usual because the goal is in sight.
　I am convinced that the only requirement is that the id is with her family, Titi.

'Well, I guess we should get moving, then. We've done it with quite a flair, and people are gathering around.

　Me and Titi really fought in front of the "Big Hole" and quite a bit of magic and sound leaked into the city. Several explorers are looking at us from afar. If this is the case, even the city guards will come out.

　Let's get out of the Second Maze City of Daryl immediately.
　If we were to leave, it would be to the north where Vyssia is located. While extending the "Dimension" thinly, we will decide on our future actions.

　Incidentally, Kounel-chan, who escaped, had already gone outside the city. She really didn't want to accompany me, and it's really dangerous from here on out, so I'll forego the escape. Titi didn't even say that she was going to come here and catch him.

　This is where we'll say goodbye to little Kounell.
　But I have a feeling that I'll see her again soon, somewhere .......
　It's not a connection, but I feel something close to it in her.

''Aikawa Kanami-san. I believe that you are now in the country of Viaissia, which is located at the southern end of the 'Northern League', for sure. That country is the new country you founded. Let's go out of the north gate and head straight for Viaissia.
'Yeah, I don't think Id lied to you. I'm pretty sure it's Vyasia: ......

　The name of that country is familiar.
　There would be no other place for the two of them to settle, Titi and Ayde.
　However, Titi, in her own right, expresses her opinion with some concern.

But are you sure you want to head straight north?　I hear you're at war?
'It's okay to be straight, doctor's sister. It's not like we're at war all year round.
"Haven't you been doing this all year? ......?　Ummm... ......
''Don't worry about the northern barrier and such, as long as I'm here, it's a face pass. If the people in the south find you, that's okay, because you've got Mr. Snow, right ......?

　Snow, who had taken a step back, tilted his head in surprise when he was suddenly approached.

''What?　But I'm no longer the acting commander-in-chief: ......
'Mr. Snow, ......, that kind of thing isn't something that's easy to stop even if you want to, so ....... At least I don't think you've changed the way you look at it, so if you need anything, can I ask you to?
Hmmm. You look like you're in a hurry, so I'll see what I can do.
Good. Okay, so here's the road ahead: ......--

　While walking, Rouge unfolded the map she had in her hand. A lot of notes were scribbled on it, and it was enough to lightly understand the situation of the current war just by lightly reading it in the 《Dimension》.

　They seemed to rely on my dimensional magic sensing, and with the opinion of Snow, who was a general in the south, they decided on how to avoid the war zone.
　The country of Viasia is just across the border between the north and south. Since the royal capital is not far away, it didn't take much time to decide on a path.

Then, let's take a few days to travel this way. I want to recover the magic power I used today, and I also want time to use my future vision before the duel.

　After making plans, we move back to the carriage.
　Once we are in the carriage, the rest of the journey is a straight line.
　The journey from the Confederacy is over.
　The end of Titi's journey home--.

Hmm. Well, let's go to the boy's hometown of Veitchia--

　Titi closed with her face to the north where her brother would be waiting for her.
　And we will leave the Second Maze City Daryl before the end of the day.
