132-132-Homecoming

128 years in the life of the King, 33 days in the red moon.

＜The innkeepers of Yazmat Province.

After a tumultuous night, we were having a peaceful morning.

However, by now, the knights who ran away from the castle, leaving Queen Litis behind, would be stiffly squeezed inside the castle, and from now on, the state church would also be in an uproar over responsibility issues.

Well, in both cases, Prince Sidia and Cecily said that they would seek extenuating circumstances to defend themselves, so it seems that there's no need to worry about being punished so severely.

Incidentally, Cecily was planning to return to the village with Snow after the series of talks, but what I didn't expect was that Noir was going with her.

Moreover, Harl and Fleur had given the following orders to the girls.

If anyone does anything the villagers don't like or tries to harm them, we will take them out. However, we are not allowed to attack them ourselves.

'Nooyl the same on the right good luck.

From now on, the people of the village who wanted to live a quiet life will be protected by the powerful forces of the White Dragon (Snow) and the Dark Dragon (Noil).

By the way, as for the reason why Harl had given a condition that 'it is forbidden to attack the other party', according to him--

I don't think everyone in the village is in agreement with that little girl, even if she says she doesn't have any hard feelings. The people of Yazmat can't live in peace because they are at risk of being attacked by powerful people somewhere in their territory. That's why it's imperative that we take precautions to prevent this from happening.......

I heard that.

Although his words are too cold-hearted, as if he was pouring cold water on the dialogue between Cecily and Queen Litis last night, perhaps it's because he's a fairy who has lived longer than most people that he has a point of view.

I personally think it would be nice if one day the two sides would reconcile around Prince Sidia and Cecily, and the capital and the village would interact, but it's obvious that it would take a tremendously long time for that to happen.

But the fact is, we're only able to help them, we just have to hope that they do it right.

As I said this, I looked out the window from the second floor of the inn.

The idyllic countryside, the cheerful voices of old ladies echoing in the shops, the legendary swords and the little kids running around brandishing tree branches.

The sight of people living free from the mess of sacrifice and oracles is a symbol of peace.

Come to think of it, I used to travel with the brave men and women to protect it.

What are you looking at outside?

I'm not trying to be cool!

'But isn't this the kind of thing you like to do, Elena-san~?　........What?

It seems that Satsuki wanted to turn the conversation to her love life, but Elena was sitting on a chair and sighing as if she was lost in thought.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one who is depressed.

Jupiter nodded his head and questioned the question, but he didn't change it.

I was at a loss as to where to begin, but Satsuki saw us and waved her hand, pointing to Elena.

Elena said that when she first heard about this, she inadvertently said 'all of us are rotten', and she's been in a state of self-loathing.

"Why do you want to reveal it?

After Satsuki revealed her inner feelings to the best of her ability, Elena plopped down on the desk and hit her head on the cancer.

''Ugh, how dare I... how rude...''

Well, well, if you just look at it from the outside, it looks like a really bad story. You can't blame her for saying it like that!

"Huh...

It's been almost a year since we set out on our journey.

I'm sure Elena had a preconceived notion that there were people out there who were up to no good this time around, because she had seen many stories about sacrifice and sacrificing someone else in her travels around the world.

However, when the story is revealed, it is about a weak man who is afraid of God's punishment and the orphans who sacrificed their lives to repay the favor of the gods who raised them.

It's a lesson in life. I hope you will continue to be diligent.

"Whaaa...

''Satsuki, you're just saying random things again.......by the way, Harl isn't here, are you out?''

Indeed, if you ask me, there was no sign of her sister, Harl, though Fleur was lying by the bedside.

When asked by Jupiter, Fleur nodded her head unhappily and pointed to the sky in the distance.

Homecoming?

"Going home ... to go home.

''No, I understand that, but... ........Well, it seems that Snow-san has been through a lot.

Feeling something (...) similar to his own situation, Jupiter turned his own gaze to the other side of the sky with a slightly pensive expression.

~~

Same day, same time.

＜The Kingdom of Frost, in the sky.

Frost, an island of extreme cold, is the second largest land mass in the world.

Although it is the second largest land area in the world, the only human settlements are the port at the eastern end of the continent and the Frost Royal Castle and surrounding capitals to the west of it, and once you step out of the capital, a vast silver world stretches out beyond the horizon.

''Well, how is the land of Frost for the first time in a long time?

When asked by Harl, who was wobbling and flying in front of his face, he looked at the landscape in front of him and then closed his eyes for a bit, and then, feeling a bit itchy from the crush of snow against his face, he said his current mood.

'Everywhere I look, it's snow, snow, snow. It's not much different than the mountains I live in. I mean, it's super cold.'

That's right. That's what happens in cold places.

And what's that ruin on top of the mountain?

Turning his eyes to where Snow was pointing........Oh, I see, Harl couldn't help but chuckle.

There was a large hole in the ceiling, and perhaps because of the snow blowing into it over several months, there was a miserable temple there to see.

That's my house.

Oh, my God.

While almost laughing at Snow's tone of voice as she replied like a wife making small talk, Harl turned around and spoke softly to the giant white dragon in front of her.

''So.........I'm going to cause you some trouble, but I'm going to leave the people of the village in your care until everything is over and you come back.

Snow nodded at the words of the summoner, who she hadn't seen again in almost a hundred years, with the same gentle expression on her face.

Because that was the summoner's order?

No, even if he hadn't been summoned, he would have made the same choice if he were in the same situation as he was now.

Then Snow spoke his answer to his own Lord.

''Leave it to me, my master. I'm going to make sure that I will protect the peace as a messenger of God, this white dragon, Snow.

With that, the white dragon winked dexterously and laughed at each other in the sky of the beautiful silver world with the little fairy.
