I have become stronger, but also shorter [comprehensive]

"He" really walked a long way to come here.

There is no need to ask how long "very long" is, because there is no way to measure it with specific numbers.

It can only be converted into time: there are decades, hundreds of years, thousands of years-such a long time that ordinary human beings can't imagine.

There is no trace of the original starting point, and maybe I can't remember it.It is "he" who feels that he has almost forgotten.

The last re-starting place that can be said is a country that builds its prosperity on the yellow sand. The Nile River flows through the place, and the swaying reeds on the bank are like layers of golden sand.

Because of an accident—no, even if there is no accident, "he" will not stay for a long time.

In short, in order to achieve a certain important goal, "he" started again from the country where the sun has fallen, and returned to the wandering that he had experienced the most in the past, so he must have been used to it for a long time.

Crossing the desert, crossing the ocean, walking through the seemingly endless wilderness...

After a long, long time, I finally came to "here".

"His" pace is hurried.

Because of the obsession with wanting to find something.

"He" was impatient, as if such disturbed emotions were hidden under his face covered with frost.

Because I haven't been able to find it for a long time, and I am aimless, and I don't know where to find it.

If you can relax and treat this as a trip to see exotic scenery, maybe you can make "him" less irritable.

But there is no way.

Not only his own reasons, but the country he is in at this time is very problematic.

This is an island country near the sea. Due to the terrain and various reasons, the country is scattered. In the early years, it changed from a unified country to several divided small countries.

On this originally peaceful and stable soil, the war broke out first, like an unstoppable storm, engulfing innocent civilians in the torrent.

In addition, this place may be a special place shrouded in mysterious power, full of monsters with extraordinary power.

Although it is not to the extent that it is full of mountains and plains, an ugly monster will pop up from time to time to block the eyes.

Needless to say, the civilians in this country must be deeply troubled by the double threats of human wars and monster invasions.

"He" doesn't like such a gloomy place.

It is not the turn of the "he" who is just an outsider to stop the war, but the person or thing that happens to be in the way will be cleared without hesitation.

It looks straightforward and sharp, but in fact, "his" irritability has not weakened at all.

There may be another main reason.

The island country blown by the sea wind is always rainy, with black clouds covering the sky, and the sun could not be seen for a long time in the past, it was cold and humid.

These two situations are completely opposite to the landlocked countries where "he" stayed the longest in the past.

There is a lot of yellow sand over there, and the dry sand is scalded by the scorching sun. It seems that wherever you go, there is a clear sky.

Therefore, most of the situations here are not in line with "his" wishes.

——Find "that" quickly, and then leave without nostalgia.

At night, sitting in a remote corner of the tavern filled with the turbid smell of alcohol, drinking the murky wine endlessly, this was what "he" had in mind at that time.

However, the premise:

——No words of “obstruction” encountered.

——Without repeating the same mistakes again, the "curse" generally fell into the predicament that has appeared so many times before.

To put it in a particularly unpretentious sentence, the man who would always go against his will and get into trouble he thought was unnecessary, his indifferent appearance of being thousands of miles away from others was not an iron wall.

No matter how you block it, you can't block some hot and positive eyes.

Just because of a purely accidental meddling... no, "he" wasn't even meddling.

It was all to blame for the blond girl who rushed forward to do a good job, but caused trouble in turn, was too reckless and stupid, which made "he" who never cared about other people's business couldn't stand it anymore.

"If you really want to help, can't you use your brain and come up with tricks to attract others?"

That's right.

It is this sentence, even if it is specially written down and recorded in the annals of history, it may not be a problem at all.

The blond girl who was named at that time just knocked over the roadside stall with a sword in the process of catching the thief, and then learned of the difficulties of the innocent boss, she was filled with righteous indignation and wanted to help—put it on her, every few days Basically, there will be a normal operation once.

Not knowing how to help is a problem, and the elder brother and teacher who can usually give her some advice are not around, and the girl is really distressed.

As a result, I never expected it.

The male voice coming from the side was like falling from the sky, it sounded quite calm, with a tone that was not at all polite or euphemistic.

But the girl was shocked.

The man who was just passing by must not have thought of it, because of this sentence——

The girl swished and met "him".

At first, those green eyes were wide open, full of surprise, and they looked cute.Well, this is also in line with the attitude you should have when facing strangers you meet for the first time.

However, it is an instant effort.

Girl: "?"

man:"?"

Girl: "...!"

man:"……??"

Girl: "!!!"

If one hadn't witnessed it with one's own eyes, it might be hard to believe that this little girl's expression could undergo such colorful changes.

After the initial surprise, all kinds of colors flashed across that upright and cute face as quickly as lightning.

Finally unified into one:

The blond girl's eyes lit up suddenly, as if they were glowing.

man:"…………???"

So, this is an unexpected twist.

"Wow! That's what it means!"

"Thank you, big brother! ... Then how can I do it?"

A series of "offensives" rushed over without stopping.

"Big Brother, Big Brother, where are you going? Are you hungry? If you don't mind, come and eat with us~"

"You don't need to eat, wait a minute, I don't recognize you at all—"

"Hey? Hey? Don't you want to go? But... please allow me to thank you with a dinner! Oh, bad, I didn't bring any money! Kai, Teacher Merlin, please!"

man:"……"

This feeling like being choked to death and still can't go on, could it be... the feeling of encountering a nemesis!

Although the blond girl I met by chance didn't pull "him" away forcibly, what she said, what she did, and the expression on her face so bright that it almost made people's eyes hurt, made it impossible for the implicated "passer-by" to escape .

"He" was forced to eat with the girl and her party.

"He" was forced to listen to the girl chirping with "him" about the novel experiences along the way, God knows how she could be so familiar with herself, and still believe that "he" is a kind person.

"He" was also forced to stay away from the ease and ease of walking alone, and somehow became the "companion" of this strange combination.

Of course the man is reluctant in his heart.

He didn't even finish his business, so why did he hang out with the strangers he met on the road?

Moreover, "he" originally resisted getting too close to outsiders who had nothing to do with him, it was purely meaningless behavior...

"Brother Ai [] isn't traveling alone, we are traveling too. It's all traveling anyway, you don't know where you are going, why don't you just go on the road with us?"

The girl had a sword on her waist, and her long golden braid ended with a butterfly hopped and hopped along with her steps.

The brilliance reflected in the sun fell on her pure white armor, just like the ears of wheat in the field they passed by at the moment, rippling with the wind in layers of waves.

"I'm not like you, big brother. I've been to many places. I'm reckless and immature. If Brother Kai and the teacher weren't with me, I definitely wouldn't be able to be like this-ah! I mean yes!"

Stopping all of a sudden, the girl in front of her turned around and looked around, pursing her lips, with the corners of her mouth raised high.

She smiled a little shyly, but it made people feel more:

Behind this girl knight is a light that cannot be blocked by any barrier.

"Traveling alone may be very easy, but... you will also feel lonely, right?"

——Perhaps because of such a sentence.

The man wandering alone in the world was moved, even if there was only a little movement that could not be seen by the naked eye, it was enough to count as an extremely important change.

"He" was a little convinced, anyway, the target he was looking for hadn't appeared for a long time, and it seemed that there was no problem with walking with them for a while.

then.

A certain picture that seems abrupt but inexplicably harmonious appears in this way.

The light-footed half-girl knight walked in the forefront with her head held high, as if she was always so positive, looking around with a curious and excited look, and her feet stepped on the light left by the rising sun shining on the earth.

The young knight, who was always worried about her, followed closely, as if he was very worried that his step-sister would disappear in a blink of an eye—no, it was good to disappear, this was not the first time she had done so.The worry is that she gets lost outside, misses meals and is hungry.

The man lagged behind, and there was still a long distance between him and the boy.

The day in my memory happened to be a rare sunny day. The black clothes of "him" also fell into the sunlight that was cast directly in front of him.

This blackness does not belong to darkness, and it will not melt in the light.

However, the temperature can penetrate in, submerged little by little, until it gathers in the place that was once hot but cold after time passed.

Unable to speak.Will not say.

"He" gradually changed his views, it seems that because of a pure and bright girl, he fell in love with this rainy country.

……

Oh.

Almost ignored it.

The man walking behind the knight boy was not the last one in this small group.

Next to the girl who will become a qualified king in the future, she still follows her teacher.

The name is teacher, but it actually also includes the duty of guard.

The magician was supposed to walk in front and be closer to the young girl.

However, after a certain man who joined in the middle appeared, he fell to the bottom for no reason.

——Step, step.

They walked forward unhurriedly.

--tread……

I don't know whose footsteps gradually disappeared in the process of advancing.

The man stopped.

At a certain moment, "his" gaze was no longer eroded by the light above his head, and he swept over, retaining all the coldness——

"..."

"..."

Right at this moment.

The man looked at the white-haired magician a few meters away.

The man also called out the other's name.

【plum--】

"Brother Eric! Is this the end of the story? So soon, is it over again?"

The voice of a child who is not infected with negative emotions is ringing in my ears, even if I am wandering in the sky, I have to return.

"Well."

Eric barely raised his eyelids: "It's over."

All the little ghosts: "Didn't you just say that the four of them went to eradicate the magic dragon together? The big brother without a name saved the knight sister and knight brother, and also saved the magician teacher. He won, and then..."

A group of people shouted: "And then? Then?"

"It's so annoying, there's no more! It's here!" He was still very impatient.

"Alas--"

"It's useless, if you want to blame, blame the person who wrote this book..."

He clapped the last pages of the book together, the sound was not loud, but quite shocking.

"Hidden the 'end' without permission."
