We were returning from the Underworld.
　I told Kounell about the slice, but the information I gave him was limited and sketchy.

　But the information I told him was limited and sketchy.
　I'm not going to be able to tell you what it is, but I'll be able to tell you what it is.
　Both Yangtaki and Tiara in the past called the thing behind that 'slice' the 'world'.

　The reason why the name was all together was because it was so huge that they had no choice but to call it that.
　A thousand years ago, the two of them found each other in the "Other World" and the "Original World" and looked at each other and sensed an enormous will.
　Because I had sensed it too, I wanted to know its true identity before anything else.

　-- I heard from Apostle Diprakra that it is 'the most profound place that is connected to the souls of the entire world'.

　When I heard that name, I was surprised.
　I was glad that there were no coinages or nouns attached to it. We'll be back in a couple of weeks or so. But it was not to be, as I was halfway through, when Mr. Diprakra said to me, "Well, it's 'The Deepest Place'!　That's almost the same place as the deepest part of the labyrinth! And, unfortunately, I was interrupted.

　The characteristics of that 'deepest part' are, first of all, vague in terms of concepts such as distance and space, and it's just so vast.
　It's so wide that it cannot be quantified, and so large that anyone who sees it will think of the word infinite.

　In fact, when I first came to the other world and used the Power of Dimension for the first time (as I intended), the 'other side' I saw felt infinite depth. The nearly infinite magic power (energy) that you feel when you "chant" your real (...) "magic (...)" must also come from this place.

　In the place where the word "infinity" can be lightly tolerated, there is a "connection" with countless souls.
　There are no living souls. The will that emanates from the souls that live in the world reaches and accumulates there.
　It is as thin as a lingering scent, but when it is 'connected to all the souls in the world,' its scale is astronomical. The wills of countless souls accumulate in one place, overlap, swell and swell and swell - as a result, everyone feels the enormity of the 'world' that can be mistaken for a 'world'.

　In other words, it seems that that gigantic will is, so to speak, the instinct of the soul of the entire world.
　And from that instinctive consensus, I am hated by the "original world".
　To be more precise, the people of the original world instinctively reject the Aikawa brothers and sisters who tried to freeze all souls and consume them.

　Incidentally, the 'Other World' doesn't hate them.
　The reason for this is faintly known. It's because "The Other World" saw, heard, and read "A Tale of Yotaki" to the end and got attached to it. Unlike The Original World, I don't perceive us siblings as a dangerous failure.

　It's a very human story.
　When I heard this story, I was puzzled by the fact that we are obviously higher beings, yet we like and dislike each other as if we were people.

　And Apostle Diprakra said, "Never, that's not a person. More horrible and ugly," to which the other Apostle Sith replied, "Like a man?　Surely it's easier to see it that way! I nodded.

　On top of that, the Sith have two kinds of 'deepest' personalities--
　'Otherworld' is a newborn infant.
　He is very weak due to a nasty disease in spite of his immaturity.
　In the original world, he is a healthy young man with a strong body.
　He was very healthy and mature in body and mind, but a short time ago he almost died of hypothermia.
　-- and described it in an anthropomorphic way.

　Diprakra laughed at that, and I half-listened to him as being too human.
　However, as I've moved back and forth between the two worlds over the past two months, I'm beginning to feel that the Sith expression is not far off.
　Unlike the twisted me and Diprakra, the Sith are always direct and say what they feel. That's why sometimes I instinctively get to the heart of things.

　This time, too, I decided to change the way I interact with them because I knew it would hit me.

　I've decided to change the way I deal with the two worlds, a little more humanly and gently - not to challenge the powerhouse that is the 'world', but to protect the 'children' who are never special.

Huaa: "......

　I woke up, letting out a yawn as I sat up and woke up.
　Brushing the blanket off my body, I rubbed my eyes and looked around.

　It's a dark, dank basement. But thanks to my internal clock, I know it's early morning now.
　It's clear outside. The sky is clear and cloudless, and the orange light of the sun rising over the horizon is shining through. The people of the city are slowly beginning to go about their business, and even without the Dimension, I can feel the echoing vibrations alone. It's a very gentle, gentle alarm clock.

　I can feel that little tremor because I have a hidden room in the basement of the Fusoya's Cathedral in my room.
　For a variety of reasons, I bring my bed into the stacks filled with material from The Conjuring, written by the progenitor Kanami a thousand years ago, and I make sure to sleep here as much as possible.

　And today, after sleeping soundly for eight hours, I raise myself up in bed - and turn my gaze (...) from me (・・・・・・).
　Beyond that, the 'break' in the matter was floating in the air.
　Our eyes meet properly, and I can feel the huge will lurking in the back of the room, tightly.
　If you believe what the Sith says, it's a sickly young child--.

...... Good morning. How are you?

　I called out a morning greeting.
　Of course, the voice wasn't returned.

　I take a breath in the silence, and I feel a little embarrassed.
　It's very radio-wave when someone who doesn't know what's going on looks at me now.
　The moment I woke up, I thought it was ...... to call out to the empty space, but recently, due to the convenience of the 'power of the dimension', I've been hallucinating my loved ones, so it won't be any different. So from now on, I resolve to say hello every morning.

　If it's really a young child, someone needs to pay attention to it.
　Someone who lives in this 'other world'.

'Whew, I slept well ....... I haven't slept this well ...... since Ragne killed me, I guess. Haha, haha .......

　I sigh as I remember the scene, which is a bit painful.
　But I quickly close my mouth and look forward. I realize that there's nothing to be gained by looking down, so I try to picture my schedule from now on and try to find out "what I can do now".

Today, you have the day off ....... You have three days off, ....... Mmm ......, uh ....... Mmm ......, I'm going to sleep twice.

　The work was done yesterday. After the payment of Kounel's fee last night, there's nothing more 'I can do now'.

　After two months of working as hard as I could on a tight schedule, there's nothing more to do. So the only thing I have to do now is to sleep twice.
　In an attempt to gobble up some sleep for the first time in a long time, I knock the body I woke up and let it sink into the soft bed.

　However, just as Seldra had said, my body has fully recovered all of its HP and MP in one night.
　It's not that I can't shake off the sleepiness, or that I'm tired.
　With a good night's sleep, I have full energy and strength.

　I'm not going to be able to get rid of it.

...... or your body, doesn't it need to sleep twice?

　The level of this body, which represents the conversion rate of 'Demon Poison', is about to reach 99. And since the direction of the 'Technique' of the 'Magic Power Transformation (Level Up)' is a hybrid of my 'Create a strong body that can overcome illness' and Yotaki's 'Create a strong body that can live forever', the strengthening of human functions is tremendous.

　Apparently, the direction of that enhancement would eliminate the sluggishness of sleeping and waking up.
　After confirming such a slightly empty fact, I reawaken myself.
　If I played around with the 《Level Up》 "Technique" or imitated the status reassignment that the Sith used, I could probably sleep twice. However, after working that hard, it felt like it could no longer be called coasting.

''It's okay ....... This much is to be expected, to be expected.

　I get out of bed and make my way to the only desk in this library/bedroom.
　I sit down in the chair and take an item out of my 'belongings'.
　It's one item that I had prepared for this kind of thing.

'I'm glad I bought it,'

　I had purchased a coffee maker as an afterthought on my way home yesterday.
　I put the coffee beans and cups that I had purchased as part of the set on the desk and let my cheeks relax.

　I was strangely happy to have the luxury of bringing in a tool of modern civilization and enjoying it all by myself. As I set the coffee beans in the cup, intoxicated by this unfamiliar pleasure, I noticed a flaw.

There's no power outlet. ......

　Also, since it's a stacks, there's usually no water.
　However, it's not a problem.
　I had a solution for that.

"-- Magic [Water], [Lightning].

　The reason I chose magic instead of 'possessions' is because I wanted to aim for the best coffee possible.

　First, the basic magic of the water attribute, 《Water》.
　Until a while ago, the water attribute was not my strongest area of expertise, but after the battle with Yangtaki, my understanding of water and ice has deepened. On top of that, there is a magical stone in his body that is the 'one that steals the reason for water'. Furthermore, after a thousand years of battle, he also understood the mechanics of the 'massless cells' that are the foundation of everything.

　As a result, 'clean and delicious water with perfect temperature, hardness, oxygen content, and organic content' is magically generated in the air and fills the pot.
　Then, 'power for appliances with a perfect balance of current and voltage' was generated from his fingertips and touched the plug.
　Furthermore, the coffee beans brought in are also instantly roasted in the ideal proportions using the Dimension and Flame, and then cooled by the Freeze.
　Thus, the production of the ideal coffee, a fusion of science and magic, begins, and after a few minutes...

"--Hmmm. Perfect.

　Wouldn't it be better to magically and directly make 'good coffee' already?　I almost thought of the wild idea of 'science and magic combined', but I chased it out of my mind for the romantic word 'science and magic combined' and was impressed by the finished product.

'This is the world's first coffee that combines science and magic ....... Hmmm, hmmm--

　It's a fusion of the two, and it has meaning.
　Because this is a 'different world', a world where the whole of the forest has meaning and is 'compensatory'. Surely the act of combining science and magic is a 'deal with the world' and gives us power. It will give this first homemade coffee an infinite amount of richness and sharpness - I'm sure.

'............. Yes, it's delicious.

　From a slightly closer 'slice', "I'm not sending any power! I feel like I'm shaking my head over and over again, but I ignored it and enjoyed my morning coffee.

　It's the fusion of science and magic in coffee .......
　Obviously, the taste is deeper than usual .......

　While nodding, I shifted my vision with dimensional magic, since I had to.
　Ignoring my retinas, I let the landscape that reaches my brain be only the beautiful garden of the cathedral, colored with a morning glow.
　I'm dazzled by the sun's rays and thankful for the refreshing morning.

'Dazzling ....... Good morning, good coffee .......

　He sips on his coffee cup gracefully, while talking to himself.

　But since I'm in the library, I'm a very dangerous person to let others see me in my current state.
　In the process, I felt like the wild stare turned into a don't-look-at-me stare, but it's going to be like this for the rest of my holiday, so please be prepared to be patient.

　Next, I pull out a smaller book (my own book) from a nearby bookshelf and deftly roll up the pages with one hand while I sip on my coffee cup with the other. I felt very upper class.

''Hmmm--''

　My plan to indulge in coasting had failed, but the refreshment of coffee time had been a brilliant success.
　I spent about an hour rereading a spellbook I had memorized perfectly, while keeping my brain aware of the damp, subterranean yet beautiful garden, and drank three cups of coffee.

　Thus, after a too-perfect morning coffee break, I put the coffee set in my 'belongings' and then sit up and start bending over.

'But I still have some extra time before my appointment with Dia ....... Hmmm.

　While relaxing my body and talking to the 'slice' (never, ever, talking to myself), I review my schedule, which is full of holes for the first time in a thousand years, and I'm troubled. In my days of being a hermit, I would have filled my time with games, but that's not the case in this 'other world'.

'Let's go early. ....... I told Kounel to act five minutes early, but it's not healthy to always arrive five minutes early. I can do it more appropriately and loosely: ......

　After finishing my preparations, I decide not to use the Connection or the Deforto and leave the library-cum-bedroom.
　As I walk through the narrow hidden passage and exit to the cathedral on the ground, the scene (image) I had magically spread in my brain overlaps with my actual vision.

'Wow. ......'

　It's dazzling.
　Warmth and sunshine on my skin.
　The smell of freshness gushing out of the air feels good.
　So instead of walking down the hallway, I walk through the lush garden.
　Instead of a morning walk, I step on the dirt and grass, listening to the sounds of nature as I pass through the trees.

　Along the way, we passed some of the priests working in the cathedral. But the power of Tida's mask prevents them from recognizing me.
　However, that concealment is not perfect. It can be easily detected by knights and Jewelcrusters with high levels of qualities and expertise.
　So when I'm walking next to a group of knights who are training, I'm spotted by their representative, a mature knight with gray hair.

''--Hmm?　Geez, boy, it's not ......, it's the founder. Hey, head down!　All hands, bow and humble yourselves!

　And then he gives an unwanted command to about thirty knights in training.

"'What ......?　Oh ......, ha--!

　The knights all realized a moment later that it was me, passing nearby, and took the beautiful knight's salute.

'Mr. Hopes, you're doing this on purpose ....... Please go through with it.

　As usual, he is the "Celestial Knights" who do exactly what I don't like to do. However, there's something about this Hope's Jokul man that I can't hate.

Hello, Kanami-dono. It's another beautiful day. More than that, it's unusual. Are you going for a walk today?
'Yes, we're going for a walk today. In the last two months, I've finished most of what I need to do: ....... I'm going to be going around the city with Dear.
'What?　No, I don't think they call it a walk. It's really scary. I don't care if an old man like me is stalling here, he's just going to have a horrible future. I'm asking you to hurry up and get to Master Dia's place.

　Along with a lighthearted laugh, he threw a line that reminded me of a fight I'd had sometime ago.
　I smiled and nodded, thanking him for his concern.

'Yes, I will. See you then.
Yeah, see you later. Next time you're really free, let's get a drink together.

　After seeing me off, Hopes-san immediately returned to the knights' training.
　The speed of his switching and the lightness of his mood is probably the reason why he is the 'Celestial Knights' and why his subordinates adore him as their captain.

　With that figure in the background, I pass through the garden of the cathedral.
　Then, in the middle of the drawbridge over the river around the perimeter of the cathedral, I see the vice chancellor of the "Celestial Knights", Monet Vinci-san (the magic-specialized uncle knight who fought after Hopes when he attacked the cathedral in the past. I didn't know his name for a long time, but I've only found out in the past two months), he also noticed me as we passed each other, but he understood what I was going through, so he let me off the hook.
　As he is the Vice Chancellor, he is responsible for policing the knights, so he is strict about civility and the atmosphere is a bit heavy.

　-- and other really nostalgic encounters, I walk out of the cathedral and out into the streets of Hoozeyers.

　It's a very early morning, but there are a lot of people on the streets, and the town is swirling with heat.
　Until two months ago, it looked like an ice age in the movie due to Yotaki's Winter Dimension, but now it has regained its former vitality completely. --But now, I can say with confidence that it's even better than before, thanks in part to my two months of effort.

　It's a good thing that the people who come here are more comfortable to walk on, and the flow of people is quicker than ever.
　The wheel technology that Ayde popularized not long ago should also be easy to use on this new street.

　That rapid flow of people and goods should be the reason for this heat and vibrancy.
　Most importantly, what's important is the appearance of the 'Jewish Stone Humans' (Jewelculus) and former slaves mixed in with that flow. Originally, the Confederation was a multi-ethnic nation with a large number of beastmen, but this trend is even more pronounced.
　Along with the buzz of the morning, the merry laughter of children of diverse races could be heard.

　As I took my time walking, watching and listening to the streets of the city, I was reminded of the line in The Senate, "Enjoy the reward of peace to the fullest," as said by Mr. Feydert in The Senate.

　Certainly, I thought, this was a reward.
　Most importantly, it's for me.
　This is the kind of thing I'm really good at.

　Of course, I'm not talking about politics when I say I'm suited for it.
　I knew that from the past, when I talked with Tity about my future "dream".
　After all, I wasn't a 'hero'. I don't have the capacity for it. But that doesn't mean I'm not the kind of person who can become a 'doctor'. Kounel said I was suited to be a 'craftsman', but that's not true either. If that was true in the past, nowadays, all of my creations are based on magic. The coffee I just mentioned is the best example of this.

　--I'm not going to be able to get the same thing done.

　Because of the fact that there was only one, I thought the path was clear, and as wide and long and well-organized as this city road was, it was very easy to walk.
　I crossed the border with the city of Fuzzyaz, while re-checking my path, and entered the neighboring country of Valt. Just like before, there is only a light 'magic stone line' (line) drawn, so crossing the border is easy.

　Once we entered the Vault, the heat increased even more.
　Although it's less wealthy than Huzjaz, it's still a city that gushes with the power of life.

　And we're not far from our destination.
　Savoring the slightly nostalgic air, I walked around the map, which in a game would be called the 'first town', and arrived at the place where I first met Dia.

　It's a bar in front of the labyrinth. For me, this is the restaurant in the Otherworld, and it's also where I used to work (part-time).

　I look around at the entrance to the tavern, but Dia is gone.
　We had promised to meet before noon, but it seems we arrived a little early.
　I decided to wait inside first and was about to enter the store - before I could do so, my skin felt a mass of magic power approaching.

'Ah, here: ......'

　Completely releasing the tension, I didn't use any dimensional magic such as 《Dimension》 at all, and even though all my skills were relaxed, I knew how close it was.
　From afar, I could hear the sound of footsteps of a girl of familiar weight running towards me.
　Her gait and footsteps are really distinctive since one foot is a mass of magical power.

''--Ka, Kanami!

　There was no way to make a mistake now. From the end of the street, Dia, dressed not in the guise of yesterday's progenitor - but in the guise of an explorer, is rushing towards me, calling my name.
　I answer her, her hair tied back and wagging like a tail.

'Good morning, Dear.'
'Haha, haha ......!　Good morning, Kanami: ......!　Sorry, did you wait?
'No, I just got here, so don't worry about it. I mean, it's still a little early for the time.

　After a slightly embarrassing exchange of formulaic sentences that only a meeting can be a bit embarrassing, Dia looked relieved and patted her chest, 'I see.

'So, what's up?　Out of breath.
'I've been a bit caught up with ......, so let's just walk and talk!　Over here!

　Dia pulled my hand away and walked away from the tavern.
　I thought we were going to have lunch at this nostalgic tavern today, but apparently there's a reason why that's not going to happen. Dea, looking around warily, runs backwards down the road I had just walked down.

　Seeing that Dia reminds me of the old days.
　When I met her, she was always restless, being chased by the Revan priests. She always had the impression that she was always trapped by something, lost, fighting, hurt, and tattered, but she kept looking for the light that would guide her life. ...... That was a strong impression.

　But looking at Dia now, I don't have that impression anymore.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. There is no hesitation, and her belligerent temperament has begun to settle down, illuminating the path forward with the light she possesses.

　Moreover, his appearance has also changed.
　Casually, Dia is walking with my hand in tow, but ...... it's a magical prosthetic walk with prosthetic arms and legs. It was so fluid and natural, due to the tremendous refinement, that it was hard to believe it was magic.

　I'm sure you'll be able to see how it works, but no one will be able to imitate it. Apart from the foul play of 'the one who steals the reason', Dia is undoubtedly the top in terms of magical sense.
　In the past, Dia was not able to manipulate the finer points of the game due to her enormous amount of magical power and inexperience. However, through friendly competition with the wizards she knows, she has passed through many fierce battles, and has reached a realm that is unrivaled in every way.

　There were no more tactical gaps in Dia's life.
　It's not for me to say that I'm the cause of taking away her limbs, but because she constantly supplemented her right hand and left leg with magic power in her life, her skills continued to be trained and her range of spur-of-the-moment close combat expanded.
　Her shapeshifting magical limbs are stronger, heavier, quicker, and sharper than any weapon armor.

　She wouldn't need me as a vanguard anymore, like she did a year ago. I ask Dia, who pulls my hand back, a little sadly at that fact.

'Who's after me for this?　Church business again?
'No, there's not a single one of them anymore who has anything to say to me in relation to the church. It's just that Diprakra and Feydert are giving me a glare, you know.

　Without interrupting her vigilance and movement, Dia replies as she walks.

'Well, then, perhaps you can go to ......
'Yeah. Fran's idiot found out and said he was coming with me or something.

　Fran's Fool.
　That is to say, Franlle Helvirshain, a noble girl who has become Dear's best friend. She is Ryner's sister-in-law, the boxed girl with the best family background by far in The Seven Knights of Heaven (Celestial Knights), and a very desirable girl with a very favorable tone of voice.

''That guy, he's supposed to be busy with all kinds of things today, but he said that everything is cancelled ....... When it comes to Kanami, that guy is outrageous. So I didn't want him to know. Huh.
"Hmm.

　I laughed, because I could imagine it.

　That's not the image of Franlleure making outrageous statements. It's the imagination of two people who are very close to each other.
　I'm sure that Franlleure is perceptive from the casual conversation and realizes that today, "-- that's not fair! The scene of the two best friends pressing each other, and Dia's troubling "Shh, shh, shh" to get rid of them.
　I saw such an unreserved exchange between best friends once in Youtaki's "Winter's Other World (Wintry Dimension)".

　My sister never lost her kindness to the end.
　That's why all the dreams from that gentle winter world are 'real'.
　The bond I gained from that time continues to the real world now, and is properly connected to the real world.

'But I managed to shake it off to get here. The ...... cis guy helped me out. And, by the way, Reiner, too.

　Because we are connected and because we survived the last battle, we have a wonderful 'now' time that is more than a dream.
　It's not just Franlure that is beside Dia now.
　The name that wasn't even there in a gentle dream comes out of Dia's mouth.

'I kind of understand Reiner, but ......, and Sis?'
'Sis had the day off too, so she was with me since yesterday. So he bought Fran a stall for me. ...... I'll have to buy her something to take home later.
"Yeah, that Sith is .......
'I can't say it in front of that guy, but it's helping me in a lot of ways. I know you don't want to, but the more the Sith stand out as apostles by acting like they're great and standing out, the less it's going to cost me.

　All along, the 'Diablo Sith' have been asked by the nations to fulfill their apostolic duties. However, with the clear separation of the 'Sith' part, things have changed dramatically.

'Right. The Sith have helped a lot lately.

　Unlike in the past, when she only thought about the world, Sis is now able to look out for the people close to her.
　Even taking a stand for her friend Dia, she seems to be able to do it now.

'Oh ....... Today, thanks to Sis, I'm alone with Kanami again!　Today, Kanami and I are alone in the city: ......!　Just the two of us alone at ......?

　In the middle of her mouth, Dia turned around and looked at me.
　And slowly, her gaze dropped down, and the moment I realized again that she was holding hands with me - the words stopped.

'............!'

　The situation of holding hands and the word 'just the two of us' upset Dia, despite what she had done.
　The shape of her little mouth changed from a half-moon to a circle, and she began to tremble with an 'aww'.
　In conjunction with this, her magic hand also trembles. The contours of her arms, which should have been well-prepared with a splendid level of refinement, swayed and moved and swelled in a haze.

　The arm of magical power that lost its substance wrapped my arm in its grip like an amoeba and swallowed it up as it was.
　The amount of magic power is enormous, appropriate for a level 59, and its quality is also the highest peak. If Dia exerted even the slightest bit more force, my arm would be crushed as if it was ground in a millstone. But before I can move, Dia responds.

''--Fu, Fufu......''

　As Dia took a breath, the magic power that had been spreading like a fog converged back together.
　In the blink of an eye, it returned to its original magical arms.

　In the end, it only took a moment for the form to collapse.
　It wasn't perfect, but it was enough control (control) of the magic power to determine that it wasn't being swept away by magic power and skill.

　I wouldn't get a spine-tingling fear from Deere or a giant magical hand crushing me like I did before. I'm convinced that it won't happen again.

'--Huh, it's been a while since you two have been together, Kanami!　Maybe not since the first time we worked together!

　Dia continues the conversation in a louder voice, trying to disguise her embarrassment.
　Apparently, she had always wanted to be alone with him, but when it came down to it, she was embarrassed.

'Yeah, I guess so. I don't think I've been alone since we were in the single digits on a level,'
'Yeah. At that time, we met at the tavern at night ...... and teamed up together to go ...... to the labyrinth. We had a lot of 'adventures' in this city and ....... Haha, I miss that!

　Dia is flushed and sincerely embarrassed, but she still continues to pull my hand away.

　I realize that I've lost sight of the right moment to let go of her hand, and I feel very comfortable.
　Unlike yesterday's quunnel, I don't sense any deliberateness from Dia at all. There's no plan or stratagem there, just really, like a girl everywhere, shopping with me and being disturbed by the situation.

　Honestly, shopping with Kounell was congenial, but there was a part of me that was somewhat competitive as part of my job.
　But Dia was different.
　Ever since I met her, I've always thought that Dia is not as backwards as everyone else, and I feel very safe. That sense of security has always helped me, I think.

'I was wondering if we were going to have lunch at that old tavern: ......
That's what I was going to do. But now that I'm back, Fran is--
'It's going to come while you're eating. I mean, it seems like that's happened before.
'It's that flan. It's that guy who has a momentum that I don't understand, and when he manages to do something, he manages to do it. And I don't know if Sith and Ryner are susceptible to that kind of momentum. I wouldn't be surprised if he suddenly appeared from the corner of the road right now.

　Me and Dia stop at the same time and look ahead to the path we're going.
　Franlure wins over the stranded Sith and Ryner, laughing, "I've been looking for you! The scene that appeared in my mind's eye was.

'Surely there's a ......,'

　Under normal circumstances, there is no element of Franlleure's ability to defeat the Apostle and his brother-in-law.
　However, there are times when that girl shows an unreasonableness that we don't have.

Right?

　Dia seemed happy.
　She was very good at it, and boasted of the unreasonableness of flanlure.

'Well, since we have no choice, let's go eat somewhere else. 'Where would you like to go?'
'Oh, let's choose the store carefully. No, we shouldn't stick to one place anymore today: ......

　But because I was proud of Franlleure, Dia was wary of her to the utmost.
　As if to shake off the chase, she takes my hand and turns the corner of the road again and again.

　At the end of it all, we reach a square off the road.
　It's not that large, but there are many stalls open in many places.
　Come to think of it, I heard in a tavern when I was a novice explorer that there was a place near the labyrinth where fledgling craftsmen were selling their prototypes. I was told that it was a bargain because the items they picked up in the labyrinth were occasionally pitched - but if you look closely, most of the street vendors are food-related. The temporary semi-blockade of the labyrinth seems to have had an effect so far.

''Stalls or ....... That's nice. Let's eat here for a bit, Kanami.
'What?　Is this the right place?　I've been looking for a place that looks expensive.
'Ro, I'd like to try it at a stall: ....... No?

　Dia asks me to peer downstairs, and this time I'm upset.
　Again, the same gesture as Kounell's, but with a different destructive power. It was impossible for me to shake my head at that request.

　Besides, maybe .......
　The reason for Dia's insistence on buying and eating might be because of the past 'Nativity'.
　At that time, while we promised to go together, Dia was never able to enjoy the festival after all. However, the four of us, me, Rustyala, Maria Arti, enjoyed the eve of the festival, and enjoyed playing games and buying and eating ......, and Dia, maybe ......, heard about it from Rustyala and said, "One day It's possible that he had promised to buy and eat with me, too.

'Well then, let's walk around here and eat.

　When she decided to do so, Dear smiled a backhanded smile and said, "Oh! I was delighted.
　As it was, he took my hand and picked out one stall to order.

　I bought some nuts fried in spicy smelling oil.
　I hold the bag containing the assortment in my hand and eat it as I walk away, wary of my pursuers.

'This is a specialty of my hometown. I miss it.
Yeah. It's good, isn't it?
'What ......?　You ever had one of those?　Did Kanami do this?
It was at the last nativity.
What? Then you should have gotten the other one. I thought it would be new for Kanami.
'No, it's okay. I may not be able to get fresh, but ......, I miss it too. It's really nostalgic and delicious.

　The bag is gone easily as we poke at each other.
　Immediately, Dia searches for the next stall, while also looking for a topic of conversation with me.

'Oh, by the way, I heard you're back in the other world again?　It's all the rage (and boom) to go home these days. Is Kanami back home this time?
'No, there were already different people living at my house ....... I didn't end up talking to my parents, who had started a new life elsewhere. They saw how well I was doing from a distance and moved right back here. I thought it was better not to tell them anything, so I did. ......
I see. ......

　Without concealing it, I told Dia everything.
　When she heard it, she had a mysterious look on her face and continued to talk.

'Hey, Kanami. Would you like to hear about my homecoming?　You were going to ask me that a long time ago, weren't you?

　Dia didn't have anything to say about my decision not to meet with my parents.
　Instead, this time she tries to talk about her own homecoming. Perhaps, but the story is filled with things she wants to say to me.

'Yeah, I'm kind of curious. You know exactly what I mean.
'I can see the quicksand. Even if I were in the opposite position, I'm back home with the Sith!　Because what you're about to hear is pretty f*cked up. Now's your chance to listen to me. What I've done back home.

　Dia speaks up lightly.
　In a calm voice about his own hometown.
