Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I would not want to stay any longer, and most of all, I would like to let them know that I am returning to the Lingle Kingdom.

　Since there is no hoo-bird that can be sent to the human realm in Hinomoto, I would like to do something about the fact that we have not yet been informed of our safety as soon as possible.

"Is Hayate-san going to be all right?　I heard that he is now serving as a temporary chief."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At Mr. Aruk's question, Hayate scratched her cheek as if she was troubled.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Currently, I, who was an assistant, am the temporary chief, but if no one else is nominated, I will be the chief for the time being, ...... I think."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm sure Hayate-san will make me feel at ease."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ha-ha-ha, I wonder if that's true. I don't think it's a position I'd be comfortable in. ....... But I'll do my best."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm sure he'll be fine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He may be modest, but it is thanks to his efforts that Hinomoto was able to quickly rebuild. The people who have been watching his actions would never complain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Hayate's troubled smile quickly turns dark.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's about Jinya. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You're talking about being detained, right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. They are still holding him because he took magic from Kanoko and tried to start a war with dangerous ideas. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......What's going on?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I sensed something unusual in Hayate's hesitancy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Jinya has become very confused since he lost his precognition magic. I think it's because he has been relying on foresight magic for the past two years, but he has become afraid of the present, which he doesn't know anything about."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... such an obvious thing to do."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I think it's because it's natural. The future is usually unknowable, but Jinya reached for it. ...... I don't want to sound like a jerk, but maybe being afraid of something you can't see is the punishment for Jinya right now."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know how you feel, Jinya, because I don't have the power of precognition magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I think it is really scary that we can no longer see what we used to be able to see. What he did was too much, but I sympathized with him in that part.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Let me change the subject. Since yesterday, as temporary chief, I have been thinking about the letter of the Lingle Kingdom."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?　No, but ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Of course, I can't accept it. We're going to remain neutral. But ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Hayate then raises her arm.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, through the open window, two blue birds enter and stay on his arm.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Hoofbirds, bird-shaped demons that enable long-distance communication.

"I am thinking of establishing a friendship with you as friends without my position as chief," he says. Would that be all right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"!　Yes, of course.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No one will complain if someone finds out about it with you guys. Well, I heard that Amaco signed up for this too, so I guess the main thing that goes to him is the letter from Linka. Ha-ha-ha."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Indeed, it is impossible to form a cooperative relationship with Hinomoto.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was obvious that it would not be good for them or for us to involve the beastmen in the current turmoil.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I am willing to accept it in this way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I held up my arms, and two of the fubards jumped toward me. Once again, their dull eyes are adorable.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder what they would look like if I put them on my shoulders.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Ha!　I have a feeling that my position is in jeopardy!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What are you talking about?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I make a simple messenger contract with Huberd, wondering about Nair, who said something unintelligible in her sleep.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was easy to make a contract because all I had to do was to touch Huberd's head with my fingertips and mutter a few words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After that, Nair was frantically chasing Huberd away with her wings.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"This is mine!　Here, shh shh!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Since when does my shoulder belong to you? It's in its place, sure.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And so, Mr. Aruk finishes his contract with Hubbard.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Hayate, who saw Huberd leaving through the window, looked at me as if she suddenly remembered something.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"By the way, did you tell Amako about this?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, well, ...... yes. The boy asked for more time, but maybe he will stay here with his mother. If he does, please take care of him."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Of course. But are you sure?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I hesitate a little at Hayate's words, but quickly answer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'll leave it to Amako's choice."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......Yes. Then I won't say anything more. Then let's switch gears. I was thinking of having a party to send you off today, how about that?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?　A banquet is ...... such a big deal.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Hayate, you are smiling so much.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Don't worry about it, it's an event to dispel the gloomy atmosphere that has been prevailing recently. Besides, we beastmen love parties. Everyone will be happy to attend, so there's no need for you to be shy."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Come to think of it, the feast we held in the hidden village was like that, too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Once again, I think that beastmen are cheerful and fun-loving people.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After confirming with Mr. Aruk, I turn to Hayate.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"If that's the case, I'll be happy to join you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay, it's decided!　Then, let's make arrangements to let everyone know!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Smiling at Hayate-san, who gives instructions to her subordinates with a smile, I think back to my earlier words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Amako is either going to the Lingle Kingdom or staying in Hinomoto with her mother.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The usual choice would be to stay in Hinomoto with her mother, who has been asleep for a long time. It is sad to say goodbye, but it does not mean that we will not see each other forever, and we can keep in touch with each other by hoovering.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But we must be prepared for that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But we must be prepared to say goodbye to our friends who have been traveling with us all these years.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'll miss you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was lost.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Whether to return to the Kingdom of Lingle with Usato and the others, or to stay in Hinomoto with my mother.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If it had been me a long time ago, I would have said I would stay here without hesitation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But now that I have completed my long journey, Usato and the others have become as important to me as my mother.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When Usato and his friends decided to return to the Kingdom of Lingle, Hayate held a banquet to send them off. Unlike in the Hidden Village, it was a big party in scale and everything, but everyone ate, drank, and laughed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Since Mom was too sick to eat strong-flavored food, I let her sit in a position where she could watch the feast, and Rinka and I looked around the feast together.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　During this time, I saw Usato, who looked as if he had just gotten over himself, having an arm-wrestling match and knocking down the Hinomoto men, including Mr. Daitetsu, one after another, giving the Hinomoto children the impression that humans = Usato, but I soon forgot about it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Anyway, it was a noisy but enjoyable banquet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But then..,

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ugh, Usato, thank you, thank you. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ah, ha-ha-ha."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Mom, why couldn't you stand it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The morning after the party, Mom had a stomach ache.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thinking something was wrong, I called up Usato and asked her why,

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Because it looked so good."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I hope you will praise me for not saying, "This isn't a thing," in a tone of voice like Usato's.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What is he talking about at the age of 34?　At this moment, I felt a little ashamed of being a daughter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It all started when my mother, who couldn't stand by and watch the banquet, started to touch the food at the banquet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　According to Usato, she had not eaten solid food for two years, and her internal organs were so surprised that they were damaged.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After being healed by Usato's healing magic, Mom bowed her head in tears, but he was not pleased.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Usato, I'm sorry. I have to get ready to leave. ....... Mom, you look like a natural, but you have a childish side too. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I apologized to Usato in front of Mom's room, and he waved his hand sideways with a wry smile.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's okay, it's okay. It would be more important if something happened to Kanoko. So, have you decided on Amako ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'll ...... decide soon."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After a short silence, he nodded slowly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I watched his back as he went to get ready and returned to my mother's room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I entered the room with a sigh, I saw my mother sitting on the futon, staring at me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Amako."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Don't worry about me."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Are you saying that because you remember how ugly it was earlier?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Shu, Ugly ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The words are a bit harsh and Mom is shocked with her hand over her mouth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What would I call it if I didn't call what I just said an abomination? I was more embarrassed than she was.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But from what she just said, she must have heard what Usato and I were talking about.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I'm still worried about you. She can't walk yet, so I have to keep her company.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You've grown, Amako."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With that one word, I come to my senses and look at my mother.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Her expression had changed to a kindly one with a smile on her face, instead of the languid one she had shown me earlier.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You didn't grow much taller, but your mind is more mature."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... height is superfluous."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm sorry."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My mother pats my unfaithful head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I feel the comfort of her weak hands, but they are reassuring and warm.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"But you are still a child, that's all right."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I am taken aback by these unexpected words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mom continues to spin her words, not caring about me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wanted you to live freely. I wanted you to live a happy life, forgetting about time poems and everything else.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The prediction I saw was you with Usato-kun. So I was sure you would be fine. ...... I thought so. But the actual future was different."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mom closed her eyes regretfully.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"My words have bound you to the contrary. You did not want a peaceful life, and you did everything in your power to help me. Of course, I really appreciate it, but I'm not a good mother ...... for causing you pain and loneliness for two years."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, I'm not. That's not true."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She clearly rejects your words and looks you firmly in the eye.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I've had a hard time these past two years, sure, but I haven't been lonely. Because, just like you said, there were many people who accepted me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The good people of the Kingdom of Lingle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sarla, who let me live here because I had nowhere to go.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My hands were full of people who took me in.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mom rolled her eyes and hugged me gently.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You really want to go with Usato and the others, don't you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... yes."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You don't have to be so hard on yourself. Be selfish like a child and annoy me a lot."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She told me and smiled at me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Be a child.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I never thought about that before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I couldn't be a child forever to survive, and I didn't have the personality to take advantage of others.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But your words made me finally make up my mind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Mom, I ...... am going to the Kingdom of Lingle with Usato."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I still want to be with Usato and the others.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even if the Demon Lord's army threatens us, the Kingdom of Lingle is my second home.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's fine. I was afraid what would happen if you stayed because of me. I'm sure I couldn't bear to keep a girl of your age tied up like that."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My mother let go of me, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But then she quickly returned to a straight face, held up her index finger, and opened her mouth with a serious tone in her voice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Before you set out on your journey, I have one piece of advice for you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Don't let the game pass you by."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What about ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What is it?　What's the catch?　What?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No, I knew who she was referring to right away, much to my chagrin.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I don't think it's normal to bring up this topic in this situation. ......!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"From the looks of him, he doesn't think he's being liked. He's the most annoying type, but once you make him aware of the favor, the rest will be easy. But I prefer to play it short term. There are probably other assassins out to get him."

"......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　One after another, I could not keep my mouth shut.

　Before Mom can finish her sentence, a light hand slaps her in the brain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I turn my back to my mother, who falls down with a strange cry and rolling her eyes, and quietly try to leave the room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But--,

I have a place to go back to.

　Amaco chose to go with us to the Kingdom of Lingle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know what he talked about with Mr. Kanoko after that. But if that was Amako's choice, I just accepted it without a word.

　We were ready for our trip and were saying goodbye to Hayate and the others in front of the exit of Hinomoto.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It fits perfectly and looks good.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's good to hear. It was worth it for me to choose a place that fits your culture as much as possible."

　The gray cloak that replaced the torn uniform was comfortable to wear, but not as comfortable as the uniform.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
