A week after the disappearance of Ayd and Titi, a meeting of the Heads of State of the "Northern League" was held.
　An emergency meeting of the leaders of the "Northern League" was held in the throne room of Viaissia Castle in the royal capital of Viaissia.
　The leaders of the "Northern League" countries and their guards gathered there. In addition, they are representatives of the peoples living in the northern part of the mainland.

　Originally, a large number of conference tables were brought into the throne room so that all of them could meet in the throne room.
　Whether you look to your right or left, there is a line of crooked people who are not likely to be straightforward. They are all distinguished members of the "Northern League".

　I'm sitting at one of those tables.
　It is said that they were said to be a replacement for the carriage at the Connection or an asset in the event of an emergency, but the truth is that they are using their name value. I was told that me being here - next to Rouge-chan, who claimed to be acting on behalf of Aide, would be a bit of a check on the other countries.

　Honestly, it's hard to breathe.
　The same fatigue I felt at the Allied Nations' ball in Lauravia before is building up in my body. However, enduring that fatigue, I continue to glare at my surroundings, pretending to be an able (...) hero.

　All the while, only Rouge-chan next to me was standing alone, and she continued to speak eloquently the whole time.
　It has been going on for half a day already.
　The content of that long talk is not about the outcome of the battle that took place last week in the royal capital of Vieisia, but about the illness and death of Prime Minister Aide.

　As the 'Jewelcrus' who was closest to Prime Minister Aide, he has passed on his will to the entire 'Northern League'.

"--These are the words left behind by Dr. Aide. From now on, Viaissia will be changing into a country that won't be able to rely on 'The Lord' alone. Let's make it a country where everyone can decide everyone's way of life together.

　Now, at last, the will was being delivered and the crowd gathered in the throne room was buzzing.
　The throne room was filled with frowning adults.

　-- of course.　

　The sudden disappearance of Aide alone is suspicious, yet Rouge-chan is proudly speaking for Aide.
　Although she doesn't complain outwardly, you can see strong dissatisfaction and suspicion from her expression.

　It is true that Rouge-chan is the one whose position is currently at the top of the Viysia Castle, to a point.
　When the rebuilding of this country began, the initial face of the country was the four of Aid, Sith, Rouge, and Noir, so now that the two elders (top two) Aid and Apostle Sith are gone, Rouge naturally comes first, but ...... Honestly, no one can agree There would be none.

　Everyone thought it was a position of convenience. More importantly, he's too young. Too lacking in dignity. Even though this is not a world of seniority, there must be a lot to think about when a girl who is two or more years younger than you is talking to you from above.
　However, the voice of the girl next to Rouge-chan silences the adults who have been piling up their grievances.

'...... what is it?'

　It's not me.
　It's the voice of the defective vampire Kounel - the voice of Kounel Chronicle Shulus Regia Ingrid, the "Head of the Great Chamber of Commerce" in "Princess Regia Country Honorable Absentee".

　Hearing her voice, the adults averted their glaring eyes.

　It was easy to be misled by her young appearance and behavior, but in terms of age alone, she was the best of the best.
　She's a living legend who can treat even the wrinkled old generals like children.
　That Kounel is sitting opposite me and keeps giving a different glare to Rouge-chan than I do.

　Kounel was the only one in the throne room who was also different.
　Starting from the bizarre formal attire she wore - the magic power that distorts the air, her bewitching and unfathomable expression, the overwhelming presence that comes from her background and backing - all of it was out of the ordinary.
　She is next to Rouge-chan's supporters.

　In the face of the dignity of Kounel, who is too old and too famous, no one can easily interrupt him, and Rouge-chan's monopoly continues.

　Thus, Rouge-chan, who holds the highest violence in the whole of the country, the "Ayikawakanami Christ Eurasian Waldhusiers von Walker" in her right hand, and the highest authority in the whole of the country, the "Kounel Chronicle Shulus Legia Ingrid" in her left hand, the will after Ayd's illness and death, etc. After hitting the lie that "I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this", I'm going to decide on my own on the personnel of Viaisia's personnel from now on.

...... So, starting today, the position of Viaisia's 'ruling king (Lord)' and Apostle-sama will change a bit. It's not quite a retreat, but he will be less outspoken than before. You can think of me as a very, very quiet senate (advisor), if you like.

　In the middle of his speech, he suddenly looked behind him.
　Right underneath the swinging pennant of the coat of arms of the Viisian nation - Yotaki, sitting on his throne, was sitting silently. And next to him stood Dia in formal attire pretending to be an Apostle Sith--.

　In response to Rouge-chan's words, Dia gave a small nod of approval, proving that she was endorsed by the legendary Apostle.
　As if to fold further, the story is ended without allowing any objections.

I'm going to end it for today. Fortunately, the 'Southern League' also had a problem with the sudden disappearance of the Commander-in-Chief recently, so there's plenty of time to talk about it. We'll talk about the details at a later date: ......

　With that, Snow, the guard who had been waiting near the throne, retreated from the throne room with the Apostle and two of the 'ruling kings' (Lords).

　Many people were surprised to see that Snow's appearance.
　Snow, the former deputy commander-in-chief of the Confederacy, was present at the meeting with such aplomb. He was standing next to the Northern League's banner, the "Lord who rules".

　Naturally, the buzz among those who are not under our control is only increasing.

　I watched it inwardly with a cold sweat.
　This whole free-for-all situation is the picture drawn up by Kounel there. I'm a cautious person, but I'm not sure if this is really going to work.

　According to Kounel's prior explanation, Rouge-chan has thick pipes all over the place, and he wants to reassure them that most of the talks, even with the enemy, the Confederacy, are already over.

　And I follow it silently. I'm a specialist in combat and exploration, and unlike me, Kounell is a specialist in the country.

　Her words before the meeting - the country of Vyasia is the top of the 'Northern League' in terms of national strength and troops, so it's very easy. Let's believe her when she says that if we bluff our way through, we'll be able to do just that. The skill 'sensitivity' alarm hasn't sounded, so the flow (...) should be fine.

　I desperately try not to let my inner anxiety show on my face.

　Finally, after a half-day-long meeting and a one-sided notice that pretended to be a meeting, my turn is over. As Rouge-chan leaves, Kounel and I follow suit and leave the throne room.

　On my way out, I saw the expressions on the faces of the assembled leaders.
　From their pale faces, I could tell a lot of conspiracies and tactics swirling around. Inside, there was a current (...) of trying to kick Rouge-chan off tomorrow.
　It's a good idea to have the ability to "sense" and "defraud," and from my observational eye, which has reached the realm of being able to "see past," it's all gone out the window.

　As soon as the meeting was over, everyone began exchanging information with the representatives of each country in bewilderment, but everything was within the scope of Kounel's expectations. It could be said that it was in the palm of his hand.

　Without a doubt, the 'Northern League' was in turmoil. But Kounel said he would take the initiative by creating chaos from here to minimize the confusion, so I guess that's fine. ...... maybe.

　I leave the throne room and walk with Kounell down the corridor, thinking about the chaos in Viaisia.

　After today's meeting, Viaisia has changed a lot.
　Even with just the knowledge I learned in my former world school, I can sense that this is a milestone in history.

　Earlier, as a representative of the Federation country, Rouge-chan said, "Let's make this a country where we can all decide how we all live.
　If I were to compare that to a history textbook, it would be around the next page of the monarchy.
　After hearing weird stories about how many kings there are in the Hoosiers, I didn't think to compare the other world to the original world, but when I compared it well, there seemed to be a lot of common elements.

　However, if I think about it, since I, a gentile, was involved in it a thousand years ago, it's natural for us to be similar in nature. The past progenitor vortex wave would definitely have helped Titi a thousand years ago with her desire to 'create a country that doesn't rely on a king alone'.

　The fact that what Titi had been striving for for a thousand years ago, although incomplete, is now taking shape after the departure of her brother and sister, gives me a sense of the world's inevitability.

　As we left the throne room, we reached the great garden in the center of the castle.
　The scene there proves that we are ready to build a country that doesn't depend on a king alone.

　This large garden was the place where he dueled with the id, but due to the power of the magic (...) 'Sakurado Rakdoh Titi', it has been transformed into a very comfortable space to spend time in.
　The leaves that blocked out the sunlight were neatly pruned, there was not a single overgrown plant or flower, and on the contrary, the grass and trees had created an orderly path, completely wiping out the dense image.

　Many people were busy running around in the vaulted garden, the heart and intersection of the castle.
　Unlike the people of the 'Northern League' mentioned earlier, they truly loved Vyasia.

　-- a week ago, we told the truth as it is, not lies like in a meeting, to the people who had returned from evacuation.

　Of course, the process was not straightforward.
　Even with the words of Rouge-chan, who was closest to the id, it was difficult to convince the people of the castle of the situation.
　So I had no choice but to use the highest level magic of 'Past Vision' to hold a screening of Aide's will. I also used the connection to directly convey the Aide's true intentions to those who wanted to hear them. I completely disregarded Aide's privacy so that she could take full responsibility for helping me.

　As a result, I've managed to secure the number of people who can hold on to the country and have them work inside and outside the castle.
　Rouge-chan has a lot of popularity, but originally Aide called himself a 'dead man' and tried to create a country where everyone can decide on everyone's way of life, a country that doesn't rely on one king alone. Many people must have had a vague idea that someday there would be no more Aids. Of course, there are those who would be happy as long as their position and salary are guaranteed.

　The people working in the castle now are really diverse.
　Starting with the 'Jewelculus', the beast-man demons, the military civil servants who may have been pulled into the id from other countries, the heavyweights who have been able to use it for many years in Viaisia, and of course, many ordinary people--

　As we entered the garden, we exchanged brief greetings with its various people before sitting down at a table in the corner.
　Finally, after a week's break, we are able to take a break. With a loud sigh, I complain to Rouge and Kounel.

'Haha, finally a break: ....... I was nervous. The one with the id, you left something troublesome .......

　I'm really not good at thinking about nobility and country.
　So I complain to my dead bad friend.
　Kounel replies to that with a bitter smile.

''No, 'The One Who Steals the Reason of the Tree' Aide, I think you did it properly with the rest in mind, didn't you?　He was an outstanding person. Even though he was reasonably good at it, he was an ogre in domestic and foreign affairs.

　In addition, Rouge, who was a student of Ayde's, also defends her.

The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that it's not just a matter of time before you get your hands on it. For example, if it weren't for the power of this 'demon return', the children running there would have been discarded a long time ago ....... The reason we're able to work in Viasia now is all thanks to Dr. Ayde: ......
'I guess so. Could it be that the reason why Ayd-san prolonged the war was to make a place for a certain race of people, or rather, the Jewelculus?　Even if we ended the war easily and made a world without war, that doesn't mean peace would come to the Jewelculus. But, personally, I don't think it's a good idea to prolong the war.

　Unlike me, the two of them were honest in their praise of Ayde's work.
　And I didn't argue with that.

"...... I see. I knew it was difficult. I'm not cut out for politics. I have no idea how to make peace with the Jewelculus.

　I, who can only fight and help, will be far from being able to understand the nature of that peace.

　However, only Kounel said in a whisper, "Lies. You're lying about how difficult it is with your magic and skills. If you get a little serious, you could do it too, Chairman. You can always count on me to push you to do the bother ......" he complained.

　...... I hope you'll forgive me for just going out with you for the past week. I have a lot of work to do now.

　Putting aside Kounel's complaint, Rouge-chan continued to talk.

I think you're right, Hero-sama, peace is a very complicated and difficult thing to achieve. ...... but it's okay. In the past year, at least everyone in Vieisia has come to accept both the 'Jewelcrus' and the 'demons'. As for the treatment of slaves, Viaisia will probably be the most advanced country in the world. Little by little, we're making progress towards peace.
I see. ......
We're going to create an ideal 'paradise' where everyone in the country can say we're family. All of us, of course!
............

　I watch silently as Rouge-chan tries to take over Ayd's will.
　To be honest, I have many thoughts about that figure.
　The many worries that flashed through the corners of my head made me lose the words to return them.

　Rouge-chan easily dismisses those concerns and teases me.

"Oh, Hero-sama. You don't think "paradise" is possible, do you?　Really, heroes are so rational and pragmatic, you know, already.
Eh, no, well, you know: ......

　I was surprised when I was hit with a big star.
　When I was a student, I learned the study of history, and as far as I could remember, there was no such thing as a 'paradise' where anyone could be happy. As far as I can remember the timeline, there is no such thing as a "paradise" where anyone can be happy. I am sure that even in this other world, it does not yet exist.
　In the face of that reality, Rouge-chan--

'--I know. But I don't think that's a bad thing for us all to aspire to. I think there's something to be said for the will to achieve the ideal ...... 'paradise', yes, I do.

　I said I knew it was idealistic, and I also said we would still move on.
　He said that it's not that he doesn't see the reality of the situation, that he doesn't forget his ideals, that he's not single-minded, but just - we're all moving forward together.

　That unwavering belief reminds me of the last of Ayd and Titi. No, it reminds me of the teachings of my grandfather and grandmother, whose names I don't even know, to be precise.

　The 'spirit' of that family's 'spirit' (heart) was indeed inhabited by Rouge-chan, and the reply this time was not delayed.

'Yes. I think that's fine.''

　Not long ago, Titi looked at Viaisia after a thousand years and said that the people here are not Viaisia's people. However, Rouge-chan here is definitely a descendant of Viaisia. It was a conversation that convinced me of that.

　Feeling relieved and a little nostalgic, I look around the garden that had been transformed by the power of the "Sakurado Raku Tee".

　There are really a lot of different people in this beautifully landscaped and colorful garden.

　On the way, I noticed one young man with a face that resembled my acquaintance, who was talking seriously with the 'Demon Stone Man (Jewelculus)'.
　I thought that the young beastman resembled the former old general and legendary blacksmith, Reynand-san. From the way he stood and acted, I could sense that he was also Beth-chan-like. Perhaps he might be a descendant of the Volus family's relative lineage.

　Considering this kind of connection with a thousand years ago, it's quite interesting to observe the surroundings in "Dimension".

　The beastmen running hurriedly through the garden are similar to the knights I met in the back of the 66th layer who claimed to be my men. From the beastmen chatting together in the garden, I can feel the remnants of the people who spent time in the back of the 66th layer.
　Only I, a dimensional wizard, could sense that thousand-year bloodline slightly.

　Naturally, there are many 'Demon Stone Humans (Jewelculus)' and 'Demons' that Ayd rescued, too. If the times were a little older, people who would have been oppressed and would not even have had freedom are living with their own will.

　People of diverse origins are joining forces for the sake of their beloved Veitchia.
　There are no vestiges of the old days when people killed each other just because they were of different races.

　--I guess that's it now: ....... Id, titty.

　This is exactly where Ayd and Titi first set out to be.
　The people of this country may not think of it as "paradise" yet, but to me, who has memories of it from a thousand years ago, it looks like "paradise".

　Of course, this "paradise" will not last forever, and it will not be sweet either.
　A lot of hardship is sure to await all of us here. The idealistic Rouge-chan must stumble many times. If it is not done well, the country may even fall apart.

　--But that's okay.

　It's a good thing that the spirit of Vyssia will be passed down again and again to the world, no matter what happens.

　I'm not going to be the only one to interfere with the country, as long as my friends Ayd and Titi's wishes are fulfilled, I'm only an explorer.
　I'm not going to be able to get out of my seat.

It's time for me to go now.
...... Yeah. Thank you for everything, hero. If it weren't for you, I'd be in a lot more trouble than I am. I'm so grateful. ...... Oh, and if you find Noir-chan on your journey, could you tell her I'm worried about her?　Tell little Noir that her place is here, that she has a proper home here.

　Rouge was worried about Noir-chan, who hadn't been seen in the past week. Apparently, she had dazed herself after losing and disappeared alone.

''All right. If I ever see her, I'll tell her so.''

　And as I turn to leave, Quuner tries to follow.

'Yes!　Case closed!　Well then, it's time to go home, too!
'What?　Why don't you stay here and help Quennel with that?　Everyone says it's easier to make peace with the South when you're around. And it feels like you're already indispensable.

　But I won't allow it.
　I put my hands on both of Kounell's shoulders as he was about to rise from his seat and force him to sit down.

''Strength, strength!　...... and, after all, do we have to go that far?
Please. If you can, I'd like you to watch over the land of Ayd and Titi. You're the one who knows what happened a thousand years ago, and I want you to see the difference. I mean, you're good at this stuff, right?

　I ask a disgruntled Kounel to do me a serious favor.
　To say the least, Rouge-chan's future fate will be very different if Kounel is not in Viasia.

　After all, when it comes to the treatment of the country - the 'Quuner Chronicle Shulus Legia Ingrid' is the highest level expert in human history.
　The proof of this can be heard even now from around the garden.

''Oh, it's Princess Absent!
'Wow. It's an amazing picture when you have a mainland hero and an Allied hero side by side.
'Mr. Legendary Revolutionary doesn't really get old, does he? He's smaller than me: ......

　She receives a distant wave from the 'Magic Stone Human (Jewelculus)' who knows of Kounel's feats, to which she responds with an amiable smile.

　To put it bluntly, Kounel is a level of existence that will be in the textbooks forever.　
　In the past - he succeeded in a revolution (coup) in a situation like the current "Northern League" and founded one country that will continue to prosper for a thousand years. He has also cooperated with the independent self-government in many places and still reigns as the head of the Ingrid Chamber of Commerce, which has a great influence on the whole world.
　I've even heard that in some areas he's truly revered as a god, not as a joke.
　...... Just because of my first impressions, though, I don't feel that way at all.

'Ugh ....... That's because we made one country, a long time ago. I'm more used to it than I'm good at it. I'm used to it... .......
Without Kounel, maybe Rouge and the others would take a coup or something.

　I had just picked up a light conversation in the throne room earlier, and there were signs of that.
　I don't need to look into the future, but I can tell by the skill 'sensitivity'.

''Well, it will happen. Without Ayd-san, this country is honestly full of gaps. If you're looking for a solution, you can create a faction that is dissatisfied with the preferential treatment of the 'magic stone humans' (Jewelculus) and quickly take over.
I'm trying to prevent that from happening. Quennel can do that, can't he?
You can do it. ....... Ah, maybe it's because you've saved me three times, but it's hard to refuse .......

　I'm bullish on this one.
　As I stare at him, he gets a little teary-eyed and starts screaming.

'Oh my God!　If it were true, I'd be lying in a fluffy bed in a villa in Legia by now!　I've been waiting for an answer to my prayers for a wonderful day of sewing clothes just when I felt like it!　How the hell did they find me there!　It's already a 'curse', isn't it!

　Kounel curses the events of a week ago.
　I chuckle and recall the memory of that day.

　When the fierce battle of a week ago ended, we were in trouble in the empty royal capital.
　Even though that was Aide's wish, if he suddenly disappeared, even the powerful nation of Vyasia would be in danger.
　We didn't want to see Aydo and his country swallowed up by the Southern League, so we decided to help Rouge temporarily.

　First of all, I used the extra MP to watch the Confederacy through the Dimension Multiple Expansion (Multiple). Then I conveniently found Kounel, who was caught in the middle of the war on his way to the Regia country to the west.

　He was in mortal danger due to another unfortunate series of bad luck, so I rushed to his aid and politely invited him to the castle (he calls it 'kidnapping and abduction', but it's not true. We talked to him properly and convinced him to come), and as a thank you for helping him out a few times, he would give me advice on how to stabilize the country.
　From that point on, Kounel's work ethic was a quintessential business - he used my 《Dimension》 and 《Connection》 to convene the people who were scattered around, and with his skill, he completely stopped the Viasia country that was on the verge of disintegrating in mid-air from being held together.

　If it wasn't for Kounel, we wouldn't be in the situation we're in now. And there's no doubt that he's the kind of person that Viaissia will need in the future.
　I'm not going to let this opportunity pass me by, so I keep talking.

I'm sure you're not the only one who doesn't mind asking for a job. You're really easy to ask for help.
Yeah, yeah?　Oh, no. The characterization of Ato in the chairman is too much: ......　
I really do. I'd do anything for you.
'That chairman's whatever-it-is thank you is just disgusting!　It's an absolute trap!　Oh, God, I really want to get away!　I want to escape, but I can't because I'm dealing with the chairman!
"It's time to give up, Kounel. You'll never escape my dimensional magic. Hmmm. ......
'Oh!　I feel like we've done this exchange a thousand years ago!

　With a little bit of a skit, I continued to keep Quennel occupied--

Okay. Yes, I understand. You'll do it, if you do it!　You owe me big time for this, Mr. Chairman!

　In the end, until the end, Kounel nodded reluctantly without really disliking it. It's because I can see that he doesn't hate it that I'm able to stay strong like this. I want to thank the goodness of Quuner's character from the bottom of my heart.

　This is how the contract between me and Kounel was agreed upon, Rouge-chan comes into the conversation with a smile on her face.

'We're really close, aren't we, both of us? ...... So, Kounel-sama, I look forward to working with you tomorrow. If Kounell-sama, who has a legend as good as Eid-sensei's, can give you some advice, it's a hundred man power.
Ew. For the time being, just make sure you're a proper guest manager. I'll do various things behind the scenes.

　Rouge-chan offers a handshake, to which Kounel responds with a resigned look.

''Okay, now I can leave in peace. Ah, but Rouge-chan. It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what to do. I'll be flying in.

　Just in case, I'll take out insurance.
　Kounel let out a near scream at that statement.

''Flying in, what are you going to do for a guess!
It's just, well, ......, right?
Hey, shouldn't you be glowing your hand?

　Hmmm. She's really responsive.
　Let's play with her for the departed Titi.
　I'm sure it will be a mourning experience.

'I'll do it right!　I'll do it!　Just don't forget to thank me, Mr. Chairman!
Of course it is,
......, alright. If you're going to thank me, be very selfish. What kind of thank you should I ask for? Oh, it's nice to have a shopping date with you after a long absence. I'd like to talk with you about clothes again. After all, Kanami-san's otherworldly designs come in handy. No, I'd like to thank you even more egregiously than that--
Ah, .......

　A creeping chill runs down my back.
　It's the alert sound of the skill "sensitivity" for the first time in a long time.

　It seems that "sensitivity" tells us that Kounel's life is in danger of being eavesdropped on for a long time, yet he said the dangerous word "date".

'Hmm, Mr. Chairman?　What's going on?　Nothing is too late.
'No, it's nothing. Don't worry, I won't lie to you. You can ask me anything you want.

　If it's true, it's a matter that needs to be mishandled at all costs, but with the almost immortal Kounel, it won't be a problem. In this sense, Kounel really is a rare friend who is easy to get along with.

Then promise me a date with ....... Well, if this is the situation, I guess it's five years and ten years for the stability of the mainland?　I'll just do it in a flash.

　A feat that was likely to add more pages to the textbooks, Kounell casually took on the task.
　Given her abilities and longevity, it must really be something like a change of pace. She seems to be comfortable enough to be able to lightly talk about a 'date' as a thank you.

''Well then, I'm going to go back to Dia and the others. I think I'll probably leave Viisya like this. See you later.

　Now we don't have one more thing to worry about.
　This time it's a real goodbye.

See you later, hero.
Bye. Please don't count on me for any more trouble, and make sure you get it done.

　I walk out of the garden with them waving me off.
　Then we immediately headed to one of the castle's guest rooms.
　Rouge-chan had prepared the best guest room in the castle for me, and I had been allowed to use it all week. The friends who had left earlier are waiting for me there.

　I went to the guest room and opened its heavy wooden door.

I'm back. I'm back!

　It's a large room for the four of us to live in.
　In the doorway, Snow was waiting for me, who must have been expecting my return from the wiretap.

'Welcome home, Kanami!　You're tired, aren't you? Shall we have dinner?　Do you want to take a bath first?　Oh, or--
No, you don't have to say that every time: ......

　For the past week, Snow has greeted me with the same greeting every day.
　The horrible part of this is that I asked him which one he wanted, but he didn't have any rice or baths ready. The first day I said, "Well, I'll have rice then," and he replied with a very nice smile and said, "Ehehehe, I didn't actually make it," and after that, I had no expectations for him anymore.

'Mmmm, I won't stop. The plan is to get into the atmosphere a little at a time, so I'll continue to be patient. I plan to create an atmosphere in the meantime and destroy the rapport between you and Rastiara-sama.

　He's still a funny guy with a strange direction of effort.
　I don't understand why he doesn't make an effort to be liked there.
　And I knew best that the effort was fruitless. At any rate--

It's already on the verge of collapsing before it's ruined: ......

　I don't think there's anything between me and Rustyala right now that can destroy it. After all, I was so harshly rejected. To be honest, just thinking about it makes me feel like I'm going to cry with a dry laugh.

　As soon as I left, Snow gave me a mental attack, and I staggered a bit as I took my place at a table in the middle of the room.
　At that table is Dia, drinking tea. And there was Yotaki, who had taken a seat (・・・・・・) while sleeping (・・・・・・).

'You're tired, Kanami. Is that all the trouble you have to deal with now?

　Putting down her cup of tea, Dia asks first.
　Now Dia and Yotaki are sitting together in a large chair, holding hands the whole time.

　While thinking about the answer to Dia's question, at the same time, I think about Yotaki's condition.

　After the battle with the Apostle Sith - Yotaki still hasn't regained consciousness.
　The magic of the world's best state recovery by the Aids lifted all kinds of abnormalities such as the 'curse to attack anything that comes near'.
　But even though the aide is a natural aid, the sickness that Yotaki has been carrying since birth could not be cured by a single handful of battles.

　In the first place, the treatment of that 'disease' was something that even the people in their prime a thousand years ago had given up on. It can't be helped because it's the kind of thing that brings your body's level up to 99 of the counterstop, and finally there's ...... and hope that it might be cured.

　So from now on, I'm not going to rush in this state of 'sleep' and slowly collect and level the 'Demon Poison' and 'Demon Stone'.
　However, if there's just a little bit of anxiety, it's as if Yangtaki's 'sleep' is - no, it's not something to think about now.
　Either way, at least it won't be something to do in Viaisia anymore.

'I agree, Dia. Is there nothing more to do here?　A lot of things have happened, but it's all over.
I see. I'm glad it's over. Unlike the Sith, I can't help you with these things: ......

　Dia smiled with relief that we were leaving Vyssia without any problems.

　That smile soothed my heart and reminded me of all the hardships we've faced up to today.
　So many things have happened.
　But because of that, I'm able to talk to Diah normally now.

　After winning the battle against the Sith Apostle a week ago, the first and foremost thing I did was to clear up my differences with Dia.

　Naturally, the words we exchanged during the battle with the Sith weren't enough to call it complete, and shortly after the battle, Dia and I talked to each other about what had happened to date.

　It doesn't take much effort to recall the story of that day.
　The first thing we talked about was Dia's struggles to this day - about who she was, so to speak, and who 'I' was.

　Including the reason why Dia still continues to hold hands without leaving Yotaki, he recalls the story after that day's battle, little by little.
