"Mr. Rael?　Why are you here--oh, that's what I mean.

　The person at the designated spot was Rael, looking a little gloomy.
　Unlike when I met her once, her cheerfulness has almost disappeared.
　I wondered what had happened to her while I hadn't seen her for a while.
　He looks somewhat tired.

"...... It's been a long time.

It's been a while. What's the matter, ......?

I'm fine.

　I'm fine," came the listless reply, just like a machine.
　No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem okay.
　You can feel the darkness in his heart, as if he has been through a terrible trauma.

Are you going to the land of the elves too, Rael?

"That's what they told me. Take this.

　With that, Rael places the rosary around his neck on the ground.
　The rosary around his neck was placed on the ground, and the rosary grew to a huge size, until it could be called a vehicle.
　I don't know how it works, but it's a very versatile item.

I want you to be careful not to fall off. It doesn't fly that high, so I'm sure you'll be fine.

"Wow, sister!　Iris, this is my first time.

Yeah, Iris. Try not to fall, okay?

"......

　This is the first time I've seen a rosary that has changed in a way that I didn't expect, and Iris is very excited about it.
　The most important thing is that Rael is just quietly looking at the situation.

　In the past, Rael would have been in a good mood because of the praise, but this was not the case.

"Rael, can this rosary do anything else?

"......

Mr. Rael?

Oh, ...... I'm sorry. I think it can do most things. I haven't tried it, so I don't know how it works.

　Iris looked impressed.
　Something as unusual as this rosary was destined to become a target of Iris' curiosity.

　He is easily heated and cooled.
　If she is interested in something, she can be enthusiastic about it, but if she knows something about it, she gets bored easily.

　When he heard the information about the rosary, he curiously checked it out.

I'd be happy to point you in the right direction - what are we going to do, by the way?

"Huh?　Don't you know, Rael?

I'm sorry, sir. I'm afraid I haven't been told about that.

I'm sure he wouldn't have forgotten to tell me something so important, so I guess I'm free to go. Maybe it means I get a vacation.

　Iris's pointed ears twitched at the word "vacation.
　I don't have to pay attention to anything, I'm free to go.

　Her mood lifted, and before she knew it, she was straddling her rosary.

"Sister, Rael, let's go.

...... Rael, please.

　In the event you're not sure what you're looking for, there are a few things you can do.
