3 Episode 2

After parting from Laguna, he walked to his mother's grave with a wobbly step.

I didn't pick up the gold coins. Not in Laguna's words, but because of the pride.

However, even while heading for the grave, some people are enthusiastic about their decision. That is terrible.

Distortion If you have mastered your guise, you will not radiate the golden glow like Laguna. Surely, it must be terrible and offensive.

It was when I thought of that kind of self-deriding.

Sky""

A gentle voice shook the earlobe as the wind ran through the cool meadows.

Sed: The heart that was depressed is paid for by one voice.

Looking up, a girl with shiny black hair fluttering in the wind was leaving her mother's grave one step ahead.

It was Ayaka Azurite of marriage.

"Ayaka was here."

Shizuya "Yes, because I had to apologize to Sama."

"... Apologize to my mother?"

Sora: "Yes, I was asked to help me, but I couldn't do anything. I apologized for that."

With that said, Ayaka looks here with lonely eyes.

Ayaka, a married couple and a student of the same year, had a sword talent comparable to Laguna.

But he did not put his talents on his nose and did not despise the weaker than himself.

During the rehearsals, I was encouraged to join me, and I had a special training until late at night.

On holidays, I said that changing my mind was also a lesson, and forcibly took me, who was just swinging, to the city.

As Ayaka grew stronger, stronger and more beautiful as he grew older, no one was envied by the marriage. Some acted more than enviable, and Laguna and others were blatantly approaching Ayaka.

However, Ayaka did not apply such an approach to his teeth, and always met with an unchanging smile. I have never once or twice bitten the joy that I can marry this child.

One of the reasons he tried to be strong was because he wanted to be a man worthy of Ayaka.

To tell the truth, when my father gave me my disapproval, I had a slight expectation that Ayaka would follow her.

But--

"Huh ..."

Seeing Ayaka sighing big, his expectations fluctuate.

"A, Ayaka ...?"

Shizuya: "I wonder if this is the result of doing my best and trying to do this. If I'm going to be abandoned, I wish I could make a decision sooner. Then I wouldn't have to waste time. That's right. "

"... Eh, eh, useless?"

"Hey, the sky. Did you think I might follow me?"

"No, no, that's ..."

"From the reaction, I thought. Hufu-not really."

Clearly. clearly. Ayaka discarded this expectation.

Your sword: "I am a married man, I am no longer a married man. I never hated the sky trying to be strong, but I don't like it."

"What ...!?"

"I'm saying terrible things, but I don't want to have any strange assumptions, and you may misunderstand and rely on my parents' home. I'll tell you clearly here. ''

"Well, wait--"

"Empty. The feeling I had for you is not sympathy, but love. I suppose it will add disappointment now. I can't like anyone who is inferior to me."

「――Tsu!」

Shizuya: "I don't know how you'll live in the future. Because you're a bad give-up, I'm thinking of becoming an adventurer or soldier and giving your name to Odate to dismiss you. But I think it's better to give up the path of the sword, because I don't think Odate will once again accept abandoned human beings, and above all, I can't fight against the Ryugika soldier It's a dream story for a man to build himself with a sword. You better give up your sword and live quietly.

Pity Ayaka said to her, glorified her eyes and said goodbye.

And he turned away. Without ever stopping your feet. Without ever looking back.

… I don't remember where and how I walked.

When I noticed, I was blowing in the sea breeze at the wharf. In his hand is a one-way ticket to the continent.

A pair of brothers and sisters stood in front of them with a sad face.

Goz Cima has been taking care of him since childhood as a guardian. The bear-like body and the face that seems to be honest bring out the style of a very strong warrior.

The other is Goz's sister, Cecil Cima.

He has been loved since childhood as a breast sibling. The days I was walking behind my sister and my sister can be remembered as if yesterday. Especially after my mother died, she took care of her as a friend.

If these two. Unlike Ayaka, wouldn't they follow me?

Foam I glanced at the two wharf standing on the wharf, but their expectations burst off and disappeared.

Young "I was sorry for the trial ceremony. It was a pain-no matter what power I was able to draw out. I am really sorry for that. If you are a swordsman's minister, you only have to follow the instructions. Please take care of that.

Shizuya: "This is a lunch box. Eat it on the boat. And I will protect your tomb with responsibility. Please don't worry. Yes, what is going on? Well, actually ... I couldn't say that it shouldn't get in the way of the trial ceremony ... I think it will be ... "

Taketo, who was longing for his brother, prayed for his future.

My sister and her longing woman dyed her cheeks when she became her father.

They don't even have the option to follow.

They are sent off by such two people and get on a boat and leave Onigashima.

The brothers and sisters waved twice and three times toward the boat off the quay, and turned their backs without much difficulty.

Stare at the back. The clenched fist remained shaking from a while ago.

…. It would be wrong to say grudges like that. You should be grateful for just being sent off to those who have been dismissed by the school and dismissed by the school. In fact, no one other acquaintance came to me.

But no matter how much I told myself, my hand trembling never stopped. The tears falling from my eyes never stopped.

――One day, I will definitely return. Come back with the power to fight on this island.

Repeat, repeat, mutter the word in my heart. For the two who are leaving. To my younger brother who left the house. For the marriage that announced a farewell. Above all, to my father who did not show his face.

Forever and ever, I repeated the same words.
