　I am now by the graves that are being built in the village.

　Here are the graves of Athos, Roma, and my grandmother. They have built them not far from the square so that they will not be missed by those who have left for the sky.

　We can no longer talk to her or have her laugh at us.

　The more I think about that, the lonelier and sadder I feel. --but I'm going to live forward. I will try my best to keep in mind the people I love who are no longer with us and make sure everyone is safe and watching over us.

　We all come to the graves often. That's because everyone cared about those who passed away as much as I did. --Gaius also comes here often. Gaius must be thinking about Mr. Athos.

　It is sad to lose someone. But we are alive. Being alive means that death will come someday.

　There is no creature that death does not come. --Death will come sooner or later, even if we think it will last forever. ......I want to live to the fullest until that day. I think our goal of creating a place where everyone can laugh is steadily coming true. Because so far this village has not encountered any threat of being attacked by people.

　Although there are still some uncertainties,...... we are getting closer to our goal. What more can we do to make our goals come true? I guess I don't like conflict and all that, but there will be times when we will have to fight.

　About the winged ones and Mr. Illume and the others. I don't know what I should do. But I hope things will go well while consulting with Mr. Lan and others.

　There are still many things I don't know about my power as a godchild. I've become able to use wind magic to a great extent. Frene even complimented me on how well I'm doing. I also want to be able to use magic other than wind magic. I think it would be more fun if I could control fire like Cifo.

　I'd like to be able to use magic as much as possible, but it's a very powerful force, and I'd like to be able to avoid using it against people. I would like to avoid directing it at people, ...... but if someone is going to harm people I care about, for example, I may have to direct it at them.

　...... I want to do a lot more than I can because I don't want to lose everyone. That's why I might have to turn my magic on people to protect them if I'm in such a situation. I don't know if I would be able to move in such a situation.

　Right now, I happen to be able to avoid antagonizing people, but--...... I am sure that one day I will have to be prepared for that. I swear before the grave that I will ...... do my best.

　I was staring at the grave, and Gaius was coming very close.

Lelunda was there too?

Yes.

It's been two years since my father died, ......?

...... yes.

　It had been two years since Athos died.

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

　Athos passed away a short time after his eighth birthday. The actuality that you can't get a lot of these things is that they're not really that easy to get. When I think about it, I am very glad that I was able to catch up with Gaius at that time.

　I think we have changed a lot in the past two years.

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

　We met the elves, and we exterminated demons. I made a contract with a genie.

　Then we arrived at a new place.

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

　I met the people. I realized that I was a godchild.

　Gaius was able to turn into a wolf under my influence.

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

　I met Illum and the winged people.

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

　We have met many people.

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

　Athos, who is probably watching over us from the sky, may be surprised at our changes.

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

We have changed a lot. Both Gaius and I have become ...... a little stronger since we made that vow. Our dream of creating a place where we can all laugh together is still alive. ......I'm very happy now. Sometimes I get anxious. I'm afraid that it will be like when Athos passed away again. And ...... if they attack me again."

　I feel happy in this village. I am looking forward to the future with such a feeling that I want to hold singing sessions and have events like the singing sessions again. I am looking forward to every day, and I am excited.

　But at the same time, I am also anxious.

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

　I have not yet gained enough strength to protect everyone. This place is very peaceful, but I haven't made it a place where I can protect everyone. It is not a place where everyone feels safe. It could easily collapse if someone attacked us.

　I have power as a godchild, but even if I had that power, what if someone attacked me who I could not control?　When I come to the tomb, I feel extraordinarily anxious like that.

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

I feel anxious about that when I come to the tombs. I'm anxious too. I don't think people from the Migga Kingdom will come here,...... but if people from the Migga Kingdom find out about this place, they might try to reduce us all to slavery.

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

...... yeah.

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

"I think it's possible that not only the Migga Kingdom, but maybe other entities will try to get their hands on Lelunda, for example, and attack us for that."

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

"...... yeah."

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

　The place is still unknown to the public. It is not known that we are building a village here in the forest. That is why we are able to keep our peace. What if they know where we are?

'But ...... you decided we're going to do our best to get the power to do something about it when that happens. I'm worried about them attacking us again, but that's why we've been doing what we can do. So if something like that happens, we'll fight back.

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

......I see. I'm a little afraid of fighting back.

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

I'm a little afraid of fighting back. Because I was protected by Lelunda. So, this time, I need to be able to move. Lelunda protected me, so this time I will protect Lelunda. If Lelunda doesn't want to fight back, then it's just me and the others.

"Thanks for the ....... But if that happens, I'm afraid, I'll do my best.

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

　I was happy to hear Gaius' words, but if it comes to that, I will do my best, even if I am scared. Because I consider everyone as my friends. I don't want everyone to have to carry the burden just because I'm scared.

　Gaius nodded in agreement.
