In front of all of them and Lydyria, Natalia sniffed.
　She is always a confident young woman, but even the way she brushes her hair is filled with the absolute pride of a hero who saved the world.
　When Glow saw her, she rolled her eyes.

"Oh, you're the goddess's sister. I hear she's pretty good.
"Hmm. Of course I am, after all, I'm your sister.
Does that mean this little one is related to the saint?
If anything, this one looks more like her. ......

　The other members of the group were also exchanging words in secret.
　In the event you're not sure what you're looking for, there are a few things you can do. The way she sighs, propped up on one elbow, is tense to behold.

And now you. Can we end this now?　I'm getting tired myself.
"No matter. I'm sure the game will end on my turn.
Oh, ......, you're so sure about that?
Of course I am. I'm sure the saint will be turned off by the naughty things you do from the perspective of a child!

　It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your vacation.
　A cold wind blows in the square, and the feeling of turmoil increases.
　There, Megas called out to Allen in a whisper.

"Hey, the Great Demon King. I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on.
Let's consider .......

　I laugh at most things, but this one seemed a bit out of order.
　Charlotte clenched her fists as if on edge while the adults turned their heads away in disbelief.

"Natalia, you're very confident. ...... What the hell are you going to do?
I think that's the only way he's going to get it.

　Allen shrugs his shoulders.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.
　If there is one thing that Natalia will confidently bring out, it will be her own precious memories.
　Rummaging through her large luggage, Natalia presented the items.

Please choose your favorite picture book!　I'll be happy to read it to you.
"A ...... book?

　Lydyria's eyes went black and white.

　What Natalia took out were picture books of various genres. There are many different types of picture books, including simple ones for learning letters, ones with cute animals, and ones with orthodox fairy tales.

I'm sure you're right. You're right, picture books are for kids.
I still have some picture books at my parents' house that I used to read to them.
My dad used to read them to me too.

　Eruka and the others were also very excited.
　Eruka and the rest of the group seemed to be impressed with Natalia's choice, as if it had been a surprise to them.

　However, Lydyria's reaction was not so positive. With a frown on her face, she pushed back the picture book Natalia presented to her.

I'm not interested in something for a little girl like that. Put it down.
"Hmm, there's no need to be so stubborn. Returning to your childhood is one of the best ways to relax.

　A seven-year-old girl talking about her "childlike mind". It's quite a surreal scene, but she's quite serious about it.
　Undeterred by the rebuttal, Natalia holds out the picture book and continues with some pride.

One of my favorite memories from when I was little was being read to by you. If you were one of them, you may already know that. ......

　He scratched his cheek and looked straight at Lidylia.

"You lost your life at an early age. You lost your life at an early age, a life that some would call unbelievable. But even for you, don't you have at least one warm memory, like ...... a family member reading you a storybook?
I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

　I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one.
　She shakes and raises her eyes, stares at Natalia and screams as if she is going to explode.

"I'm not interested in anything!
"Huh?

　The second Natalia rolled her eyes, a blast of air suddenly erupted across the square.
　The heat alone was so intense that it burned her lungs. A direct hit would turn any race, no matter how sturdy, into dust without leaving any trace of its original form. But the blast subsided.

"Oh dear. You're a tricky disciple.
"Aww ......, the Great Demon .......

　In Allen's arms, Natalia's eyes blinked.
　She jumped out of the way to protect herself and was not even burned.

　The others managed to get through with the magical barriers cast by Eruka and Goussetsu.
　Instead, the dolls Maia had used were charred to a crisp and lying around. The damage was enormous and widespread.

(As expected of a saint who will go down in history, ......!

　While secretly admiring her, Allen glared at Ridilia.

I'm not sure what to say.


Huh?
That was your fault!　What if Natalia gets hurt?　Apologize to her!

　No matter how you look at it, Lydyria is at fault.
　However, she is shaking her head like a spoiled child. The air of pessimism that she had felt in the past is gone, and she is even shouting.

"Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up. ......!　I have nothing ...... wrong with me!
Wait a minute!

　A light floods out of Lidylia's body.
　But it quickly subsided - and then there was Lidyria ...... blinking her eyes, or Charlotte.

What's going on ......?　What's going on ......?
Lidylia has pulled into you. Do you feel any different?
Yes, I'm ...... fine, but ...... yuck.
"Hey, hey!

　Natalia jumped on Charlotte, who was lying face down in sorrow.
　She sniffed and wiped her eyes.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this.
"Natalia ...... is fine. Thank you, Mr. Allen.
No, don't worry about it. I was just doing what a master should do.

　Allen pats Natalia's sobbing head and smiles.

But you're my disciple, aren't you? You've got a way of pinpointing what they don't like.
...... Did she hate picture books that much?
"What, I'll explain it to you later. Charlotte seems to have figured it out, though.
Yes. So, Mr. ...... Allen.

　Charlotte stammered a bit, but then clenched her fists and looked straight at Allen.

I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one.
I've been thinking about it. Of course I was planning on it.

　Allen nodded and looked around at the people present.

I'm sorry to have you here, but it's our problem from here.
I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but this is our problem.

　Eruca shrugs his shoulders. The others look at each other.
　There was a 50/50 split between those who had some idea of what was going on and those who didn't have a clue.
　Among them, Lu pulled Allen's sleeve and growled.

I don't know, but what are you going to do?　Is that still wrong?
'Of course. "Of course. It's against the rules of the world.

　Allen grinned, the corners of his mouth lifting.

"All right, let's go home, boys. It's about time. ...... Let's make some quick preparations.
