253 Lesson 252

"And what was written in that story as an enemy was something called evil coming from the north. I believe that implies that we are in the Empire. And he had some kind of special power and fell upon the Sortas a thousand years ago, and he is still in the empire."

The speculation from Naruas' information was shooting at the target, which also had Ethereum wrapped around his tongue.

"You've figured that out so well... you seem to be quoted for most of the information I've gathered so far"

Naruas shook his head quietly to the side against Aotearoa's words.

"Predictions are only predictions. If I hadn't spoken to Lord Sota here, it would still have been much more ambiguous than I expected. Lord Sorta gathers information, scrutinizes it, and ensures that it is accurate."

"Thank you, you'll save me if you say so. So, what else have you figured out? So far, I think it's like matching the answers to what we've been looking at."

Naruas clouds his expression with that word that he wants something new.

"... this also becomes my anticipation that whoever did the arr is the same person as those who remain in the empire, and that he may be someone else"

"I see... that's quite an interesting guess. And I'm wondering if that's what I'm doing."

Although there was not a strong basis, Aotearoa affirmed Naruas' words from the information he had gathered so far.

"Do you believe my predictions?

Naruas was surprised by Ethereal's reaction.

"I'm more intuitive, so I might be more right to think so than to believe it."

Aotearoa wasn't sure, either, but isn't Naruas right in his words? And that's what I felt.

But we both thought about it because neither of us had a decision-maker, and it was quiet back in the room.

"Oh, it was still you two. I thought you were here because you had a voice, but I'm sorry. Don't even serve tea."

It was Elmia who had prepared the meal that had spoken to the two of us.

"Oh, no, never mind. Arezel fell asleep in the workshop, so he just moved over here."

"Yes, I apologize for leaving the meal to you more than that"

Aotea shook her neck sideways saying she didn't care, and Naruas followed suit. She was a tribute to Elmia. He was the grandson and daughter of a disciple, but he was solid and he was thinking of treating them as one woman when he saw them turning to follow him in the unnoticed part.

"Yes, no, because that's all I can do. And please don't salute Master Naruas. I'm afraid if my mothers' masters tell me that, I will."

As the words put it, Elmia was shrinking her body.

"Sure, it must feel weird to say it's only a tribute to Elmia in such a tone to her mother and grandmother."

"... is that what it is? All right, Elmia, is this it?

Naluas decided to change his tone due to what Ethereum had also told him about all the chase winds, and Elmia was relieved and smiling.

"It's time to gather you all for a meal"

When Calm Elmia says so, she tries to leave the room to speak to those who fall asleep, but Naruas stops it.

"I'll take that one. Will Elmia get ready for dinner?

Then I'll give them a voice outside.

Aotearoa also headed outside to speak to the equipment confirmation team.

They all gathered for the dining room as soon as they realized they were hungry, but it was difficult for everyone to sit on the spot, so they were to dine knowingly and second-hand with the living room.

I was supposed to go straight to bed that day when I finished eating. The group of craftsmen who once rested were not out of fatigue either, so they all fell asleep like mud immediately.

Next morning.

After breakfast, Ethereal Tails had begun their journey schedule. Yesterday's cleanup was carried out by Ethereal Tails, so I didn't even notice the maintenance of the tools. The craftsmen were prepared to carry it with minimal care so that it would not deteriorate during the period leading up to their return to the country.

"I could go slower..."

That's what Arezel groaned as she watched as she was getting ready.

"Sorry, I can't leave the store empty all the time..."

It was Elmia who answered that. She also missed breaking up with Arezel, and her expression was unpleasant.

"Sorry, each of the three Dwarves and Karena have a job waiting for them in the country. We've got things to do, too, and that's why I came all the way to this country to build gear."

Aotearoa looked sorry, but still said so to keep them from expecting and disconnected.

"... yeah, that's okay. I miss you, but I haven't seen Lawrie in a long time, and I've seen Karena, whom I admire, and most importantly, Elmia and I have become friends, so it's a luxury to want any more."

Even with tears in her eyes, Arezel was smiling and behaving in a temperament.

"Arezel...... I'll see you around!

Feeling her strength, Elmia held Arezel's hand for a long time. She chose the word "see you again" without daring to use the word goodbye.

"Elmia, yeah, see you later!

Having received her feelings for choosing the word, Arezel similarly shook her hand back and returned it "See you later" in tears. Aeta smiled and caressed the two heads gently.

"Now come visit me in the city of Tula"

"Yeah! I'll definitely be there!!

Completely clear of his expression, Arezel replied with a big smile and nod at Elmia's invitation.

"We'll pick you up then if you get in touch. It will be difficult for Naruas to leave this country... well, it will be helpful if we clear up all our errands."

Aotea gave the backing of the two promises and added that at the end of the day remembering what she was going to do.
