You're really leaving, aren't you?

Leah looked at me with a sad look on her face.

Yes, I'm going.

For your father's sake, it would be better to arrive as soon as possible.

Besides, when we get to the village, we'll be ready for winter.

Winter?

I have something to decide this winter.

It is a promise made to the astrologer, to go to the forest of lights, or not.

I told my father I wanted to go.

But I'm lost.

My promise to the fortune-teller is to send me to the Forest of Light.

But I remembered the exchange with the fortune-teller... do you really want her to go?

No matter how many times I think about it, I don't really know whether I want you to go or not.

And it was said unto him, Go unto the city which is next unto the king's city. But he said, No need to go.

I remembered and noticed that many people say "you don't have to go", and I said it was the town next door, but I didn't say it was the Light Forest.

And don't forget that the fortune-teller was connected to the church.

Is it the Church that wants me to go to the Woods of Light?

I don't know.

Ivy?

Yes.

Oh, I'm so lost in my thoughts.

"Actually... when I first met Ivy, I... dreamed of Ivy."

Huh?

Is that supposed to be the future?

"Um..."

I saw something hard to say.

“Tell me, what did you see?”

"I was crying. I was crying alone in a white building."

Were you crying in a white building?

Is that sad or regrettable?

"What was your expression?"

"It was sad." And for a moment, I saw the red color. I just didn't know what that was. "

Blood is what comes to mind with redness and sadness.

You're going to lose someone?

No, no.

Don't think badly.

Now that I know, I don't mean that I should be careful of white buildings.

“I think it's one of the future. I was able to find out now that something is going to happen in the white building. That means we may be able to evade the white buildings and be prepared to fight those who drive me into grief.”

Huh?

"There must be another future."

Yes, I'm sure there is.

"Great."

Good, huh?

I thought you'd suffer from hearing about the future I saw.

I was worried, so it seemed difficult to say.

"In the past, I thought that the visible future would remain the same. But not now. Because the future of Arielus that I saw a long time ago has changed."

The future of Mr. Arielus.

"I've had dreams about ten times in the past. It was a future in which Garth would die covering for me."

Mr. Garth?

It's the previous name, isn't it?

Now that you're Arielus-san... the future has changed.

"There are a lot of things I didn't say to Arias or Tanlas about the future I saw." The only thing I couldn't say was a terrible future. But it's been a little different lately. It's like... right now, the future is changing. "

The future keeps changing?

Is it because someone is acting in a way that will change the future?

"[]/(exp, n) (1) (

Do you still see the future?

I hated it so much.

Yeah, because I don't hate this power as much as I used to.

Huh?

"I hated it a lot before. It's the skill that caused me to take away my loved ones one by one. But for now, I just want to admit this skill. Fufu, I can't beat my skills."

Yeah, Lilia's really getting stronger.

You're an amazing person.

"Besides, I didn't think I could change the future I saw in the past." But not now. As Ivy says, the future I see is only one of many. It turns out that somebody's actions can change things. "

“Yes, I think so too.”

I would never admit that someone could die in the future.

If I can change my behavior, I'll change it.

"Thank you."

Huh?

Looking at Lilia, there was a girl who laughed very beautifully.

Besides, I'm a little in love with it.

"Thanks to Ivy, I feel like I've changed a lot." I'm glad I met Ivy. ”

I could tell from Lilia's words that her face was getting hot.

This is embarrassing.

But I also want to convey my feelings properly.

"I'm glad I met Leah too." Thank you very much. "

"... after all, can't you stop going?"

Well, we're back on track.

"I'm sorry."

"I know. I'm sorry I persisted."

No.

"Okay, I'll help you. What were you doing?"

Lilia looks at the magic items scattered around the room.

Yes, I was sorting out the magic items and potions that Uru brought me before I left for the journey to make it easier to use.

However, I was troubled because of the large amount.

I'm sorry, are you okay?

"... do you still have enough magic bags?"

"No, four more."

I still have one magic bag left.

It really contained a lot of magic items and potions.

"Okay, I'll take care of it." Arious and Tanthras are coming for me, too. "

Oh, it looks like we're both going to be involved.

I'm sorry, but it's very helpful.

Seeing Lilia leave the room, she divided the magic items spread throughout the room with the amount of magic energy remaining.

The size of the magic item and the amount of magic power remaining were not proportional, so I had to check the amount of magic power remaining.

But there are many luxurious adventurers in this village.

I still have a lot of magic items left in my hand.

more like this.....

Is that a whip?

The shape is definitely a whip.

What do you use whip magic items for?

Please wait. Wow, you have a rare weapon.

I'm sorry to bother you.

A rare weapon?

It was a whip weapon.

"Thank you for coming."

I bowed my head to Arielus and Tannis.

The two looked at the state of the room and made a slight pull on their faces.

I bet you didn't think it was like this.

I looked around the room.

Sure, it might be a little awful.

Where are the Soras?

Point to the window to answer Mr. Tanras' question.

"That's cute."

"Yes, I ate and played and slept with satisfaction."

Arielus smiles bitterly at my words.

As always, you're free.

Yeah, I think so too.

"Now, let's do it! Instead, what do we do with that weapon?" The whip is difficult to handle. "

I gaze at the whip Mr. Tanras has in my hand.

Because it's difficult to handle, I wonder if it was abandoned with a lot of magic power left.

Is it that difficult? By the way, I've never seen an adventurer with that weapon before.

Is it really unusual?

... don't worry about it.

Can you teach your dad how to handle it?

I don't think your dad can do that.

Nh...... I'm curious.

"Oh no. If you're worried, you can let Druid know." If you can handle it, you can use it as a weapon. If I can't, I'll give up. The weapons are "fitting" and "not fitting", so if I don't use them, I won't know. "

That's right.

If it bothers you, you can try it.

"I will."

Place the whip in your hand somewhere else than the other magic items.

"Pu..."

Huh?

Sora was staring at the whip as she turned to look at the sound.

What's the matter?

"Puu, puuu"

Did you fall asleep?

Well, let's tidy up the magic items spread throughout the room.

If not, there's nowhere to sleep!
